“Wow, that’s, yeah, that’s wild,” Wilson responded.

Seattle socialist Mayor Katie Wilson hosted a book talk on Sept. 24 featuring Canadian activist authors and conspiracy theorists Naomi Klein and Asta Taylor for a discussion about their book "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World."
According to JNS, Wilson repeated and endorsed claims that Christian Zionists are working to trigger nuclear “Armageddon” alongside Silicon Valley billionaires so that Jews can profit off condos in Gaza and build the third Temple in Jerusalem with “spotless red heifers.”
The trio also discussed why the destruction from Hurricane Katrina was intentional to bring about the Rapture and why US President Donald Trump chose Mike Huckabee as his ambassador to Israel to bring about the end times.
They also painted leftists and communists as victims and celebrated the WTO and other riots—all under the banner of fighting “fascism.”
A short video as part of the presentation portrayed Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon Musk and other political and technology figures as components of what the authors described as “end times fascism,” and white supremacists, while using apocalyptic imagery and clips from movies including "Armageddon," "The Day After Tomorrow," and the zombie apocalypse film "I Am Legend."
“Your work is so important to the left, and I am proud to share a stage with you tonight as we build power not only to defend against fascism, but to create a better world,” Wilson told the authors.
Wilson called the war in Gaza a “genocide” and referenced “that juxtaposition of the genocide in Gaza with that AI-generation paradise where someone’s obviously going to make a lot of money selling condos.”
The presentation said figures including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Trump, Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Palantir were part of a broader political and technological conspiracy to destroy and rebuild Gaza, making no mention of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre that precipitated the Gaza war.
Klein claimed “three different groups or facets” had formed an “end times fascism” coalition that “brought Trump to power,” including Christian Zionists.
She singled out US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and said Trump was “enthusiastically” discussing Gaza “as a blank slate, as this redevelopment project,” while “expanding the war into Iran” generated “apocalyptic kind of excitement” about “Armageddon.”
Klein then turned to Christian beliefs about the Rapture and Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site and the location of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. According to Klein, those seeking to “reconstruct the Third Temple” have “got a problem because Al-Aqsa is there.” She claimed Israeli “incursions onto Al-Aqsa” could “trigger, you know, World War 3 with nukes.”
“So they have the power to create an Armageddon that we are all in,” Klein said.
“Astra and I, unfortunately, had to learn about spotless red heifers and all kinds of animal sacrifices, and, you know, we wish we didn’t,” Klein told the audience. She claimed adherents to such beliefs “control more parts of the government than has ever happened before in the history of the country, and more parts of the US government.”
“We think they’re wrong, that this isn’t gonna bring the Messiah,” Klein said, “but that doesn’t mean they can’t trigger the Armageddon, right?” Klein went on to invoke “disease, floods, rivers of blood,” destruction, an “elevator to the sky” and “golden cities” while connecting religious apocalyptic beliefs to her broader theory about Silicon Valley and wealthy political figures.
“Wow, that’s, yeah, that’s wild,” Wilson responded after one portion of the presentation.
Wilson also told the audience that “fascism always emerges in moments of systemic crisis to protect elites from the threats of redistribution and accountability,” before discussing the radical anti-globalization movement that erupted during Seattle’s 1999 World Trade Organization conference.
“The WTO protests of 1999 were kind of this breakthrough moment for the anti-globalization movement,” Wilson said, before asking whether any “Battle in Seattle alumni” were in attendance. Wilson said she was 17 and not living in Seattle during the WTO protests but later traveled to Washington, DC, for protests against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in 2000.
She described the movement as a rejection of the promise that a “rising tide lifts all boats,” connected it to climate activism and the Great Recession, and said that political trajectory “eventually led to my run for mayor last year.”
The apocalyptic theme resurfaced as Klein discussed Hurricane Katrina through her “shock doctrine” framework, connecting catastrophe and economic exploitation with religious ideas about the Rapture.
The event concluded with activist recruitment. “Join something, because this is too much for us to take on alone,” Taylor told attendees, encouraging them to join the Democratic Socialists of America or participate in an electoral campaign. “We really have to take it on together.”
At the end of the event, Wilson also encouraged the audience to become members of the DSA. Notably, despite describing herself as a socialist during her mayoral campaign, the DSA never endorsed her.
