Why, Why, Why, Delilah?

We all woke this morning to find the world on the brink of Armageddon.

Nobody wants this. Only 6% of Americans openly support another pointless war in the MIddle East, American soldiers are apparently blocking toilets in the USA's flagship air carrier, which could be seen as an act of mutiny. And the Epstein files have twisted the truth so far that no conspiracy theory is out of bounds.

It's all the work of that pesky child god Baal again, honestly, anyone with even the slightest knowledge of women's history sighs when we see the web of lies built around this minor god made devil.

But we do laugh at the names the original scribes of these primitive myths use to rally the troops to do their bidding today.

October 7 was a tragedy and many lives were needlessly lost. The consequences has caused the suffering of millions. Or should I say billions? Because we've all had this horror beamed to our screens in real time. Before any of the positioning, editorialising or propaganda from all sides, we know what we saw with our own eyes. We know our truth. There is barely a woman on the planet who hasn't felt the suffering of the children without imagining the horror as if it were her own flesh and blood.

We also saw helicopter shots of hundreds of burnt out cars laid out like a supermarket car park. We we're told the perpetrators of that carnage were only armed with wind surfers and AKA 47s. The cars were cut up and buried before they could be investigated. But in February 2025 Defence Minister Gallant confirmed on camera they had applied the Hannibal Directive on October 7.

Hannibal? Thinking of Silence of the Lambs? Cannibals? The man who rode his elephants over the Alps? Or Hannibal in the bible?

He's not in there. But his mirror image is. Baal-hanan, is depicted in Genesis as a king of the people descended from Jacob's brother who was cheated out of his inheritance. The real man's name is Hannibal which means the grace of Baal. The backwards version written centuries after real events means the exact opposite.

Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general, born 247 BCE, the greatest military tactician of the ancient world. Carthage was a direct descendant colony of Phoenicia — the same Canaanite civilisation as the Philistines. Baal was now the major god of the Carthaginian. They sacrificed children to him. Hannibal's clan name was Barca meaning lightning (the same root as the Hebrew Barak — as in Ehud Barak, the Israeli Prime Minister who referred to Epstein as a "great friend.")

And then there's the Arabic Buraq — the winged horse that carried the Prophet Muhammad to Jerusalem.

Barca. Barak. Buraq. The same Semitic word, three languages, three traditions that were never supposed to be enemies — all children of the same Canaanite root.

And the same mother. The divine feminine may have been silenced at the time, but you can't destroy omnipresence.

Or fate. Aged nine, Hannibal swore a sacred oath that he would forever be the enemy of Rome.  He kept it. He crossed the Alps with war elephants, occupied Italy for fifteen years, and came within a single order of destroying Rome entirely — the empire that would go on to crush Jerusalem, scatter the Jewish people and carry the patriarchal religious narrative across the Western world. He then fled into exile, was betrayed, and topped himself rather than be taken captive.

And now the Israeli military name their kill-your-own-captives doctrine after him — not after a biblical figure, not after a Jewish hero — after a Canaanite who decided being taken alive was the worst possible outcome.

If you think the Hannibal Directive was evil. We're now under the shadow of the Samson Doctrine which goes into effect if the modern state of Israel is facing ultimate defeat. The directive? Blow everyone up.

The existence of the doctrine has never been officially confirmed, but neither has Israel's nuclear capacity. However, the doctrine has been publicly acknowledged by two US presidents, the CIA, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigation, and was implicitly invoked in 1973 when Nixon was successfully pressured into an emergency arms airlift under nuclear threat.

So who was the real Samson?

In his time, worship of the great goddess Asherah was still mainstream Israelite practice. The high places hadn't been torn down. Weaver-priestesses were still in the temple of Solomon. Samson's mother may have been of their line, or she may have been like Rebecca and feigned the power of prophesy and judgement that crowned kings for her own son. Rebecca used animal skin, Samson's unnamed mother 'spoke' to an angel.

And her offspring turned into a right little devil, crossing into Philistine land of his own accord, driven by lust.

He went to Timnah and sees a Philistine woman he wants. His parents object — "is there no woman among your own people?" He insists. He goes back and forth to Timnah multiple times to force her into marriage.

Then he goes to Gaza — deep into Philistine territory — to visit a prostitute. The Philistines try to trap him there. He tears the city gates off and carries them away.

Finally, he goes to the Valley of Sorek and meets Delilah, a Philistine woman living under the shadow of this man who is basically a one-man army terrorising her people. Samson has killed thousands of Philistines, burned their crops, and operated with complete impunity. He is not a romantic hero who stumbles into her life — he is an occupying force, a weapon of mass destruction.

When Philistine leaders approach Delilah and ask for her help, they aren't corrupting an innocent woman or paying a whore. They're asking the woman with the power to stop this brute.

And she knows her value. 1,100 pieces of silver from each of five Philistine lords. That's not a bribe paid to a civilian informant — that's a commission, the kind of payment made to a specialist performing a civic function. Temple priestesses were economically independent precisely because they served a civic role. Delilah negotiating her own fee, directly, with the most powerful men in the region, is not the behaviour of a kept woman or a spy.

So what would the rich men get for what would be somewhere between $180,000 and $1 million today? Delilah assesses a man claiming divine power. She tests him. She probes for the source of his strength. She asks the same question four times with increasing precision. That's an interrogation protocol. The high priestesses assessed kings through exactly this kind of systematic examination. Was his power real? Was it legitimate? Where did it come from?

Samson, remember, isn't just a strong man. He's a Nazirite — someone who claimed a direct covenant made with the Canaanite god El, now called Yahweh. His hair, his vow, his power all bypassed the old sacred structures entirely. He's precisely the kind of figure the old priestess traditions existed to evaluate and, if necessary, reject. A man created by his own myth.

Samson's hair wasn't sacred. It's a performance of covenant — a visible sign that he belongs to a story told by men, for men, about divine male power. He was assigned a narrative before he was born, and he wore it on his head his whole life without ever questioning it.

Delilah cuts the hair and the man underneath is ordinary. Not evil. Not cursed. Just... a man who had been living inside a story that made him dangerous.

A man that would rather bring down the whole temple than admit he was never that special.

Or in the Epstein files.

Now is time for the matriarchs to take collective action. While the elites are once again blowing each other to bits it's time for the women of the world to employ the tactics of Delilah and question EVERY man in her life.

Will he reject anyone who hurts anyone based on the testimony of a bronze age man who heard voices from the sky? Will he oppose sick men who terrorise children because they worship demons created by their own imagination? Will he stand up to psychopaths who believe they have the right to choose who lives and dies? Will he fend off the billionaires who believe they can replace us with their machines?

Because this mess is caused by men inventing a male god and creating a world where they have held power for 4,000 years. And no matter how enlightened he may seem, every single one of them has profited from this caste system that places white men at the top and Black women on the very bottom.

Teach all the men you know the truth that male supremacy is a construct, a story, a myth. It has only existed for 1.3% of the human story. Tell them the basic operating system of humanity is men loving women and the ONLY way we can end this nightmare is by men fighting for the balance to be restored man-to-man on every front. In the boardroom, in the office, on the building site, in the locker room, on LinkedIn, down the pub, at the church, mosque, synagogue and masonic lodge.

Because it's their mess and it's up to them to clean it up and protect all the women of the world not just their 'own'. It's time for them to man up, recognise they've been duped and fight for what's right. Because we can all learn from the power of Delilah but women can't expose mens egos like her. Even Tom Jones knifed her when she did.
