Khazarian Conspiracy, 13th Tribe Misinformation

Adam Green dismisses the "Khazarian Mafia" theory as misinformation promoted by Zionists to reduce anti-Semitism by blaming "fake Jews" for global issues. He references Arthur Koestler’s book *The 13th Tribe* and notes that the Torah and Talmud predated the Khazarian kingdom by centuries. Green warns that the QAnon-style dichotomy of "Satanists versus Christians" keeps people trapped within the Abrahamic matrix, as Satan is viewed in Judaism as a controlled agent of God.
