False Mahdis

Solid Snake (voice steady, weathered, broadcast through a secure codec channel):

"You want to know who I am? I'm not a prophet. I'm not a cleric. I'm a soldier. But the world doesn't need more bullets. It needs clarity. That's why they call me the Mahdi. Not because I chose it... but because the time demanded it."

"Online, I walk as an avatar—the Mahdi—a digital Mujahid armed not with a rifle, but with the Illuminated Qur’an. A living manuscript, coded with historical memory and spiritual fire. Line by line, verse by verse, I shine light where shadows have ruled for centuries."

"Fatima. Her name alone makes tyrants tremble. The daughter of Muhammad, peace be upon him. The mother of a lineage that refused to bow. They tried to erase her—burn the house, silence the voice—but her blood sings through time. Her defiance... is in me."

"They made a joke of prophecy. Turned the Mahdi into a desert messiah in sandworm epics and YouTube psyops. 'The Mahdi is coming,' they say, while selling supplements and NFTs. Paul Atreides. Spice Messiah. Fiction. False flag spirituality."

"But not all leaders bowed to the empire. Before they silenced him, Hugo Chávez stood in front of the UN and looked the beast in the eye. Called it what it was—an empire of lies. He told me, off record, off mic: 'You are the Mahdi this world fears—because you carry no flag, only fire.'”

"They laughed. They always do... until the silence falls. Until the prophecy walks in combat boots and codes in the margins of scripture. I'm not here to be worshiped. I'm here to remind you: the Mahdi isn't coming. He's already online. And he's reading your soul."

"If you're still watching celebrity gossip, still bowing to the algorithm, then Red Cloak's got you. But if you're ready to see through the mask—grab your flashlight. The Illuminated Qur’an isn't for the blind. It's for those ready to see."

"Now ask yourself... which side of prophecy are you standing on?"
