The answer will be coming in A riddle, wrapped in a Mystery, inside an Enigma, Part 2

Footnotes

[1] I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest. It cannot be in accordance with the interest of the safety of Russia that Germany should plant itself upon the shores of the Black Sea, or that it should overrun the Balkan States and subjugate the Slavonic peoples of south eastern Europe, That would be contrary to the historic life-interests of Russia.

[2] Zionism in the 1800s was not a populist movement in fact vociferous opposition for social, political and religious reasons came from every direction.
First, the converted and assimilated Jews in European society had no interest or connection to the Holy Land. They were comfortable, religiously and materially, in their "Diaspora" communities.
Second, the True Torah Jews was an organization dedicated to informing the world, and in particular the American public and politicians, that not all Jews support the ideology of the Zionist state called "Israel". A political state formed before the Messiah returns is diametrically opposite to the teachings of traditional Judaism, which holds that return to Zion (Jerusalem) can only happen when the Moschiach (messiah) reveals the glory of the Lord ) (Adonai) to the whole world.

[6] Carl Jung's force of synchronicity, Unus mundus, is the theory that there is an underlying order and structure to reality: a network that connects everything and everyone, there is a metaphysical energy in the universe that produces meaningful coincidences.

[7] Theodor Herzl, Austrian Zionist leader

[8] In 1976, Arthur Koestler, a Hungarian-born naturalised British citizen of Jewish parentage, demonstrated another misconception in his remarkable book, The Thirteenth Tribe. The ancient Ashkenazi Jews, who today comprise most of the world's population of Jews, sprang from barbarians living in the ancient empire of Khazaria between the Caspian and Black Seas. [8] In his masterpiece of world history, The Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan, Director of the Centre for Byzantine Research at Oxford University, also explained the spread of Judaism in the ninth century when the Khazars chose to convert to that religion en masse [9], which later raised speculation that they might be one of the lost tribes of ancient Israel. Not so. Many of these Jewish converts migrated to what is today Poland and Russia, but the evidence of history demonstrates that they had no link to 'the holy land' or 'Palestine'.
