A supposed confession by an Israeli strategist, published on a marginal blog and removed from major forums amid accusations of censorship, has become a viral phenomenon. The document, attributed to the mysterious Eshkol Ben-Ami, claims that Israel allegedly financed the mass entry of Jovenlandeses into Europe to control public opinion, and that true power lies in controlling the flows of money, energy, information, and narrative. However, neither the character nor the text has been confirmed by any reliable source.
The paradox is evident. A text without a verifiable author and containing explosive claims is being debated as if it were an intelligence report. The question many ask is whether we are facing a genuine leak or a work of fiction designed to fuel distrust.
What Exactly Does the Document Say?
The interview, presented as a meeting with a shadowy strategist, includes passages such as: “Power has never been balanced. What you call balance is merely a transient form of accepted dominance. Today, as always, power belongs to those who control the flows: money, energy, information, and narrative.” This idea that geopolitics boils down to controlling financial and informational flows resonates in very different fields, from economic theory to critical geopolitics.
Other claims are harder to swallow. The supposed Ben-Ami asserts that Europe cannot be a sarracena bulwark against Israel because public opinion has already been shaped through the funding of mass immigration. These declarations, charged with intentionality, are precisely what has raised alarms regarding their potential propagandistic nature.
Real or Fiction?
Readers are divided. One segment sees in the text a stark confession of Israeli strategy; another, a clear attempt at disinformation. Some recall that the document appeared on a WordPress blog (acratasnet.wordpress.com) without any real signature, and that the site offers no verifiable data. Others point out that the style is too perfect, with errors suggesting a rushed translation or even AI-generated text, though some defend that ChatGPT could not have written something like this due to its ethical filters.
The suspicion that it is a product of the “hidden hand” or manipulation designed to demoralize public opinion is also present. One online analysis describes it as a literary device used to lighten up a presentation that touches upon many points, without implying those ideas are entirely false.
The Search for the Author
The mystery extends to the identity of Eshkol Ben-Ami. Rumors link him to the Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, whose public profile fits that of an influential intellectual, but not a military strategist. Others suggest he is a pseudonym for someone on the scale of Henry Kissinger, though without proof. The inability to trace the character increases distrust.
Cited Sources: An Anchor of Credibility?
to lend greater solidity to the document, those who originally disseminated it included a series of links to prestigious media outlets such as Reuters, The Guardian, and Human Rights Watch, related to military operations in Gaza, the use of artificial intelligence for target selection, or troop withdrawals from the Netzarim corridor. However, these references do not validate the specific claims of the text; they merely contextualize certain real events.
A Disturbing Time Jump
In the final part of the conversation, a seemingly future episode is introduced: an attack with Iranian hypersonic missiles on Tel Aviv, damaging one-third of the city and forcing Israeli planes to flee to Cyprus. Some interpret this as confirmation of the document's theses, while others consider it further speculation. The lack of verification leaves everything in the realm of hypothesis.
The final question: if the document is false, why do so many read in it a reflection of their antiestéticars? And what if the success of such a narrative lies precisely in its ability to feed upon a latent narrative?
