The Thērion and You – Days of Unleavened War

by

As biblical Holy Days go, the 2026 Days of Unleavened Bread—a season of self-examination, spiritual change, and reconciliation—stood in stark contrast to a week defined by geopolitical upheaval, military brinkmanship, and collective heart-pounding anxiety. This week of April 1-7 became, in a most sobering sense, the days of unleavened war.

An historic week of firsts

The first Day of Unleavened Bread opened with a striking juxtaposition. At 6:24 p.m. EDT on April 1, four astronauts aboard the Artemis II spacecraft thundered skyward on 400,000 pounds of thrust, accelerating past 500 MPH in under two seconds toward a rendezvous with the Moon. It was a breathtaking moment of human achievement.

At the same hour, 6,500 miles away, Iran and Hezbollah rained more than 140 missiles on innocent Israeli citizens celebrating their Passover Seder. Hezbollah then fired dozens more rockets through the night on both civilians and military. On the day after the first Holy Day, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem would pay “a very heavy price” for the “intensified fire toward Israel civilians” as they celebrated Passover.

Back in the United States, as Artemis entered pre-lunar earth orbit, President Donald Trump delivered his first formal address to the American people on the Iranian War — one month into the conflict. The speech said little new but featured contrasting claims that the President never sought regime change, although his initial social media video announcing the war encouraged Iranian citizens to seek same.

The Thērion and you – Greenland in the crosshairs and the end of NATO?

by

Shock, anger, and anxiety frothed again over the European continent in early January 2026, as President Trump – fresh off a regime-changing U.S. military excursion in Venezuela – appeared to reset his sights anew on the strategic mega-island of Greenland. Keeping in tone with recent forays into bombing Iranian nuclear facilities and Nigerian terrorist facilities alike, the President openly – almost blithely – discussed the option of using U.S. military might to acquire Greenland.

The response from Europe?

“Everything would come to an end”

“If the United States were to choose to attack another NATO country, then everything would come to an end,” emphasized Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark. “The international community as we know it, democratic rules of the game, NATO, the world’s strongest defensive alliance — all of that would collapse if one NATO country chose to attack another.”

The collective leaders of NATO – including Prime Ministers and President of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Spain – rushed out a collective joint statement on Jan. 6 that made clear their focus:

“Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security. NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries.

“The Kingdom of Denmark – including Greenland – is part of NATO. Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.”
