Episode 3½ – The Smoking Gun That Backfires

A short interlude with bite.

In this special mini-episode of Divine Magic, we respond to Episode 71 of Drafting the Past, where Dr. Raphael Cormack claims to have found a “smoking gun” proving that the Daheshist side once lied — while the anti-Daheshist side told the truth. But when we examine his method — the vague sourcing, the lack of citation, the walk-back — the “smoking gun” starts to misfire.

We explore how Cormack frames the narrative, how he dismisses broader context, and how one alleged name-swap in a pamphlet becomes, in his words, a "reasonably scientific" test case. Along the way, we meet a real historical saboteur: Abd al-Raheem al-Shareef al-Khaleely — a former follower turned collaborator in the smear campaign.

This isn't just a rebuttal. It's a challenge to intellectual shortcuts and a reminder of the real war being waged — not just over reputation, but over truth itself.



Listener Advisory: Some episodes include historically documented material that touches on sensitive themes such as coercion, moral corruption, and emotional exploitation. These accounts are shared for the sake of truth and justice — not for shock. Listener discretion is advised.
