We are living in perhaps the strangest, most complex and chaotic era in world history. On the one hand, giant technological breakthroughs; on the other, an unimaginable psychological collapse… Billions of minds, connected in the global village, ironically become isolated, unravel and drift into deep psychological depressions as they intertwine. Man has never been more transparent, trackable and programmable on earth. And the name of this new order is no longer whispered by many, but openly accepted: The Order of the Antichrist.
Modern strategists, from Peter Thiel to Aleksandr Dugin, from Dennis Small to Leo Strauss, are bringing ancient symbols such as Antichrist, Mahdi and Messiah back to the agenda in order to comprehend the new world order. For these concepts are not merely theological figures; they are keywords that reveal the psychological, political and metaphysical codes shaped in the dark recesses of human history.
And hidden in the heart of every dark order is the good news of resurrection. In Islamic thought, Dajjal is as much a destruction, a decay, a distortion of truth; Mahdi is as much a construction, a revival, a call for guidance. Dajjal is like a desert; Mahdi is a spring…
Antichrist A Civilization Caught in the Speed of Destruction
The root of the word Dajjal is DCL. The name of the Tigris River is derived from the same letters: fast flowing, destroying what is in its path, devastating its surroundings… Just like today’s global capitalism, techno-feudalism, digital dictatorships. The antichrist order covers the truth; it turns the lie into an ideology, propaganda, algorithm. The trolls who try to manipulate the truth represent the armies of the Antichrist.
I have not directly addressed the concept of “Messiah al-Dajjal” because, in my opinion, the West has long ago identified with his spirit. The West has so deeply merged with esoteric beliefs and mystical currents that these elements have become an integral part of its intellectual and political identity. The line from the Crusades of the Middle Ages – though conducted under the guise of religious wars – through modern colonialism to today’s wars waged in the name of a “chosen people / superior race” or “democracy / civilization” reveals a destructive pattern. These wars destroy not only the target peoples but also the West’s own moral and spiritual fabric.
The West’s cultural and civilizational narcissism, its moral and civilizational superiority, makes it unable to turn back from this destructive path. This arrogance is fueled by narratives of “progress” and “modernity” and prevents the West from learning from its own historical mistakes.
With Zionism increasingly influencing political and economic decision-making in the West – through foreign policy, media and finance – the West is being systematically dragged into the “lap of the Antichrist”. This is a world of spiritual chaos, technological and financial domination, and even the West itself is no longer able to understand this confusion. In my view, this identification of the West with the spirit of the Antichrist is not a metaphor, but a historically and culturally rooted process.
Esoteric movements – philosophers like Giordano Bruno and Kabbalistic influences – replaced traditional Christianity during the Renaissance, and in modern times secularism has become a “new religion”, sanctifying technology, the market and power. This spirit is evident in the colonial projects, in the atrocities of the world wars and in today’s conflicts. Zionism here is not just a political ideology, but part of a wider esoteric fabric that shapes the mentality of Western elites. Conflicts that are presented as “religious” or “geopolitical” motivations, such as the wars in the Middle East, are in fact instruments that serve goals beyond the physical world.
These conflicts represent not only political wrongdoing but also the West’s own spiritual decline. This world in which the Antichrist reigns – with its managed chaos, technological domination and rendered humanity meaningless – is leading not only to the destruction of the outside, but also to the destruction of the West itself.
The Mask of Antichrist in the Mirror of Strauss and Schmitt
As Leo Strauss, an American political philosopher of German-Jewish origin who died in 1973, put it: modern liberalism, by destroying the distinction between friend and foe, renders politics, religion, human identity meaningless. The Antichrist here is not a person but a process: it erases existential conflict, it paints everything gray.
Peter Thiel and Techno-Dajjal
Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies and Founders Fund, advocates unlimited growth despite the Club of Rome’s 1972 “Limits to Growth” report, because the logic of the Antichrist cannot tolerate limits. Nature runs out, man runs out, but the system does not stop. It is like pushing a vehicle that should be traveling at 60 km to 1000 km: the metal burns, the human soul disintegrates.
Thiel is an open supporter of mass surveillance like Palantir. He contradicts his own warning: “The Antichrist will not come with horns and black boots; he will appear as a messianic bureaucrat legitimized by excuses like the climate crisis or the fear of artificial intelligence. This figure proposes a rational and centralized world government to manage global chaos.” But here is the paradox: With Thiel’s financing, this system is already in place. The Antichrist is not in the future, but already among us – disguised as a “solution” to the dangers posed by the system. Thiel sharply diagnoses the problem, but his solution is again a technocapitalist proposal for an “enlightened capitalism”: reduced regulation, increased risk, leadership of entrepreneurial elites… Yet this vision has already given birth to the nightmare of today. We are thus presented with the binary choice offered by the technocrat: Antichrist’s dictatorship or apocalyptic chaos?
And this order is hidden not only in the financial corridors of the West, but in the map of hearts, in the codes of minds. If the metaverse is a paradise, it is a false paradise: not eternal happiness, but eternal loneliness…
Dugin and Small: Strategists Who Saw the Collapse
Aleksandr Dugin, a Russian political scientist known to be close to Putin, positions Russia as a “katihon”, a restraining fortress in front of the Antichrist. But even he knows that this empire will one day collapse. This collapse is inevitable because the Antichrist order gnaws at the soul of man, reducing him to a datum without history, without a body, without an identity.
Unlike Thiel, who speaks from Silicon Valley, Dugin develops an imperialist eschatology. For him, Russia is not just a nation, but the Katihon that prevents the coming of the Antichrist. Drawing on Byzantine and Pauline traditions, this idea proclaims Moscow as the “Third Rome”, the last spiritual bastion against global entropy. But Dugin’s vision is tragic: The empire will one day collapse, and with it the world. Russia’s task is not to save the modern world, but to delay its collapse. Every day delayed is a day won for the human spirit.
Dugin exposes not only external enemies but also false internal resistance: MAGA movement, radical Zionism, Daesh and Hindutva – these are, in his view, the actors in control of the global collision scenario. The ultimate goal: global nuclear war to legitimize a post-human order to replace humanity.
Dennis Small is a veteran of international analysis at EIR News. From his point of view, what comes out of Pandora’s box is not an ideology, but the collapse of a speculative monetary system devoid of any material and moral basis: the paper dollar, stable cryptos, casino capitalism… Trump’s bombing of Iran is not geostrategic, but an attempt to cover up financial bankruptcy. The legalization of stable cryptos leads to private companies printing their own money and the end of the sovereign state – this is not the birth of a republic, but of a new feudalism. Trump is not outside the system; he has been swallowed by it.
But Small is not pessimistic: Inspired by LaRouche, he proposes a new global system: material development, inter-civilizational cooperation and harmonic plurality. This is not utopia, but a real alternative to the financial Antichrist.
The Mahdi Order: Reconstructing Man
In the midst of all this chaos, the concept of Mahdi is not just a person. Its etymological root is “hidayet”: revealing the truth, not concealing it; bringing people from darkness to light… The Mahdi order is not a technical revolution, but a spiritual awakening…
The traces of this order seen in the golden ages of Islamic civilization extend from the Bayt al-Hikma in Baghdad to Kurtuba and Toledo. There, science is not the enemy of religion, but at the service of justice, wisdom and human dignity. In the Western context, humanity is eroded under the pressure of consumerism, social disintegration and over-reliance on technology.
The information revolution and the seemingly gigantic achievements of modern technology have in fact only produced digital illusions such as the “metaverse” – virtual spaces that seek to deceive the human mind and drown it in a parallel universe disconnected from reality… This world is not a civilizational advance, but an escape from confronting the existential crises plaguing Western societies: the loss of meaning, the dissolution of identity and the erosion of human values.
Real and Fake Resistance
Gaza, Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar, Algeria, Malaysia, Indonesia and Iran are symbols of a spirit that is still not fully absorbed into the global technocratic project. That is why they are under attack and perception operations. But the real Mahdi order is not a geography, it is a consciousness, a consciousness: unless the spiritual essence in human beings rises again, these pockets will be destroyed one by one.
Today’s populist movements, the polarizations that are presented as alternatives – Trumpism, Political Zionism, false religious groups – all lubricate the wheels of this order. Because the Antichrist order intimidates real resistance by imitating it. The real battle is not between civilizations, but for the historical and spiritual existence of human beings. This is why religious language is inevitable: Antichrist, Katihon, Third Rome… This is not rhetoric, but an attempt to name what cannot be grasped by classical political analysis.
The greatest deception at this moment in history is the false dichotomy between the factions of chaos: Trumpists and globalists, reactionaries and progressives, wars between civilizations…
Imagining a New Civilization
The solution is not a new machine, but a rebuilt human being. Even Peter Thiel says, “If everything converges, you can’t escape anywhere.” There is no place to escape. The Mahdi order is a consciousness, not a refuge.
A model of civilization like the Bayt al-Hikme in Baghdad, where different ideas, cultures and religions work together for the benefit of humanity… The spirit, morality and wisdom of man go hand in hand with science…
In the Western context, humanity as a creative and conscious being has been eroded under the pressure of consumerism, social disintegration and over-reliance on technology.
The information revolution and the seemingly gigantic achievements of modern technology have, in fact, only produced digital illusions such as the “metaverse”; virtual spaces that seek to deceive the human mind and drown it in a parallel universe disconnected from reality…
This world is not a civilizational advance, but an escape from confronting the existential crises plaguing Western societies: the loss of meaning, the dissolution of identity and the erosion of human values.
Looking historically at the course of civilizations, the scientific contributions made by Islamic civilization in its golden ages – in algebra with al-Khwarizmi, in astronomy with Ibn al-Haytham, in medicine with Ibn Sina and al-Razi – formed the backbone of the European Renaissance.
These achievements were not merely technical advances, but the product of a holistic vision of civilization that combined scientific reason, moral spirit and a sense of service to humanity.
At its peak, Islamic civilization was able to strike a balance between scientific research and human values, making it a driving force for global progress.
For example, the translation of Arabic scientific texts into Latin in centers such as Toledo and Sicily in the 12th and 13th centuries opened new horizons for European science and inspired the likes of Roger Bacon and Thomas Aquinas. The impact of these contributions is still felt today in the fields of mathematics, physics and medicine. This demonstrates the superiority of a civilization that puts the human being at the center of the scientific process.
In contrast, the modern West – despite its enormous resources and advanced scientific institutions – has failed to make a fundamental leap beyond the limits of traditional technologies. The world is still dependent on internal combustion engines and fossil fuels; there has been no revolutionary innovation in renewable energy or sustainable technologies.
“Breakthroughs” such as electric batteries or artificial intelligence are often incremental improvements for commercial profit; they do not serve the civilizational imagination. This stagnation actually reveals a deeper crisis: The loss of the anthropocentric vision that drove the civilizations of the Golden Age.
Where the West today makes technology an end, the Mahdi order makes it a means. Nature is not commodified; human beings are not reduced to algorithms. Science and morality are inseparable.
An Era of Choice
Today humanity is at a crossroads: The Antichrist order? Infinite speed, infinite monitoring, infinite control… Or is it the Mahdi order? Infinite wisdom, infinite justice, infinite guidance…
And this choice is made in one’s heart and conscience. Today, the people around the world who support Gaza are the people who choose their side. Because the Mahdi is not a person; it is the ancient call of the human conscience, the legacy of the Prophets…
The Italian poet Dante said centuries ago: “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of crisis.” Master Cemil Meriç also expresses this state of affairs in these laconic expressions: “Where there is oppression, neutrality is dishonorable. I am on the side; I am on the side of truth.” And our Prophet (saas) said in a hadith: “Undoubtedly, if people see the oppressor and do not prevent his oppression, it is near that Allah will send a punishment from His own side to all of them.”
The reality is that the Dajjal is now out of the closet – he is not coming; he is here. And resistance to him is not an ideological position, but a fundamental affirmation of human spiritual and conscientious sovereignty. A Qur’anic, moral and epistemic rejection of every temptation to absolute order.
“The Mahdi order against the Dajjal order” is the courage to recall the truth and guidance against the loss of humanity in codes, algorithms and virtual universes…
And remember:
Every Dajjal will come and go one day.
But every age has a Mahdi.
Just as every Pharaoh has a Moses.
