False Prophet Exposed: "Donnie Darkened" enters the light
Wolves in sheep's clothing will continue to rise
What you missed…
Twitter user “Donnie Darkened” (aka “Donnie Discerned”) gained over 100,000 followers by posting about why Donald Trump will be the Antichrist;
For years his posts were based on nonsense, numerology, fake news, misunderstanding of prophecies, and an ignorance of how real geopolitics works or connects to religion, but convinced many to think he was some kind of expert;
In the last year or two he began to incorporate content from more researched Christian creators (like me) without citation, creating more elaborate posts about a post-collapse New Age, Aquarius, Theosophy, and the “Great Awakening” being a psyop. He did this to gain more credibility and appear to be educated on the subjects;
It has recently been exposed that this same individual also ran a lucrative pro-Trump propaganda Facebook page, which generated enough money to support a wife and children;
He allegedly reacted by trying to block, delete, and hide damning information as he was being doxxed;
After failing to control the narrative, he has suddenly rebranded himself, and appeared on a Christian podcast to explain his hypocritical journey.
Twisting my theories?
Just last week, a day before I appeared on Dan Fournier’s podcast to talk about the New Age deception and the role of Israel in the end times, I sent him the above screenshot of Donnie Darkened’s prediction about the supposed “common goal” of a “global crusade against Babylon, harlot Jerusalem.” This is a highly suspicious interpretation of prophecy.
I intended to bring this up as an example of somebody stealing my content and then mangling the interpretation in order to fit a false narrative regarding Israel’s role in the end times, but we didn’t have time to cover the subject. Now that Donnie has been exposed as a fraud, I’ll take the opportunity to explain what I would have said on the show, and react to the new developments.
Gnostics vs. Israel?
Donnie’s post struck me as extremely suspicious, because as far as I know I’m the only biblical commentator who has built a solid case for Jerusalem eventually becoming Babylon the Harlot in Revelation using both symbolic and real-world logic.1 As I told
, I believe Israel will become “Babylon” if they successfully establish the Ben-Gurion Canal and disrupt the Suez Canal with terrorism or some other means, because they’ll then control the heart of global shipping (which is a huge aspect of the prophetic description in Revelation). I said that if they cripple America’s infrastructure with cyber attacks, pivot to the Eastern bloc for military support, and control the dominant digital currency of the world, they’ll have fulfilled the wildest dreams of Zionism. In that situation, they will become like a whore that will make endless shifting alliances with the rulers of the world for their own selfish gain, “riding the beast” in the sense of relying on their military support while living as the capital of the Green World Order.This is a very nuanced and distinct view, because it relies on specific future conditions to be fulfilled—meaning, Jerusalem does not currently match the Babylon description—so to see some dumbass fraud casually throw around "Babylon, harlot Jerusalem” as if it’s something everybody knows about is extremely weird. 99% of all Christian commentaries on Revelation either say that the USA or Rome are the Whore of Babylon. This includes Gnostics and anti-Zionists.
It was obvious to me that Donnie Darkened had no idea what he was talking about, and must have stolen the concept from somebody else with more of a veneer of authority.
The most obvious answer is that he listened to the E511 video that made the same argument recently. As I’ve mentioned briefly before, there are huge problems with E511’s video, especially how he ends up accusing anybody who does conspiracy research of being a Gnostic antisemite who wants Israel destroyed. There is definitely a growing hatred of Israel because of its ongoing genocide, deception, and criminal behavior, but this is totally different from claiming the root of the anger is caused by some Gnostic belief that the Hebrew God is Satan.
In my opinion, this kind of intellectual dishonesty only exposes E511 of being a disinformation channel run by another fake intellectual who refuses to show his sources or respond to criticism. Here’s his video (which I don’t think is worth watching):
Now do we have any evidence that Donnie listens to E511? Yes, he said it himself in the “tell all” interview. Here’s the specific clip of him saying it.
The full video is below. If you listen to it, you’ll notice that Donnie is never really sorry for his ongoing grifting, deceit, hypocrisy, and two-faced treachery. We’ll talk about him more as we go further.
I believe there are several possibilities of what’s happening behind the scenes here.
