The self-proclaimed Pope Abdullah Hashem and the APROL cult

 


There is a contemporary sect that is quietly gaining global prominence: it calls itself AROPL — Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light. At first glance, it seems like just another alternative religion among many others, but there are clear signs that we are facing something more complex — perhaps even orchestrated behind the scenes by entities like the CIA. Most people, and even the media, are only seeing the surface. The full picture remains off the radar of the collective consciousness.

It is a new post-Islamic religious movement derived from the Twelver branch of Shiite Islam, considered one of the apocalyptic or "end times" movements emerging from the Middle East.

We are talking about a sect with about 7,000 members — a relatively small number — and yet it is the subject of reports and attention from the mainstream media. This is not by chance. Either there is a powerful marketing machine behind this, or there are more profound interests at play, with possible links to intelligence agencies such as the CIA.

My intuition suggests that this movement will become a media phenomenon of disturbing proportions. It does not come out of nowhere. The supposed spiritual leader, Abdullah Hashem Al-Sadiq, the self-proclaimed "true pope", was, until recently, a complete stranger. Now he enjoys international notoriety and frequent media coverage. Why?

It should be remembered that this would not be the first time that the CIA has been involved in the creation or infiltration of sects with the aim of testing techniques of mind control, brainwashing, or collective manipulation. Cases such as the "Manson Family" or the "Heaven's Gate" sect (whose end was tragic, with mass suicides) have already been documented as covert experiments of this type (it is believed that the CIA was involved).



AROPL presents itself as a religion with roots in Shiite Islam, but it integrates elements of spiritual syncretism and reincarnation, and its discourse is loaded with conspiracy themes such as extraterrestrials, hidden governments, and the Illuminati. The leader's name itself — Hashem — is reminiscent of the ancient Arabic cult of the Ḥaxāxīn, from the 11th century, known for mixing mysticism with fanaticism.

The strategy seems clear: by mixing theories about the Illuminati and UFOs with a potentially dangerous cult narrative, negative connotations are associated with these themes. And if, in the near future, this sect is the scene of extreme events — such as mass suicides, crimes, or radicalization — the themes of conspiracy, new world order, and alternative spirituality will all be lumped together as madness. This creates the ideal pretext to criminalize and censor websites, blogs, and channels that address these subjects seriously.

This is how the Occult Elite censors uncomfortable topics: they create a popular caricature, give it a platform, then point out the errors and declare war on anything that seems similar. This was the case with the creation of Al-Qaeda, initially used to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan and later transformed into public enemy number one. History repeats itself — only the names and faces change.

AROPL has a presence in about 40 countries, including the USA and the UK. Its leader, Abdullah Hashem Al-Sadiq, lives in the United States, is 41 years old (born in 1983), and claims to be the 12th imam, the Yamani, the herald of the Messiah. He claims that his teachings date back to the time of Adam.

Some of his principles are clearly adjusted to modern times and the demands of spiritual marketing:

Alcohol allowed, as long as it is in moderation.

The LGBT community is welcomed (not because of tolerance, but because they are members with the ability to contribute financially).

Tithing is not enough — members are encouraged to donate their entire salaries to the organization.

They have two satellite television channels (cable TV):

"Black Banners of the East," founded in 2017;
"The Mahdi Has Appeared," launched in 2024 and broadcasting to Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

Despite their media ambitions, the group's YouTube channel only has about 33,000 subscribers, and most of their videos barely get 500 views — numbers that do not, in themselves, justify the media attention they have received. This raises even more suspicions: why does a movement with so little digital impact receive so much attention from the mainstream media?

In short: AROPL may well be a modern Trojan horse — a tool designed to infiltrate, discredit, and eventually eliminate from the digital public space all websites considered "conspiratorial," associating them with fanaticism, delirium, and social dangers.

Stay tuned. The pieces are being placed on the board — and the game that lies ahead is not a spiritual one. It is one of global narrative control.
