Pictures of me in a gas chamber, pictures of Trump saying "You're fired" next to a death camp oven, and hundreds of hate tweets callling me a k---, a traitor, a rat and far worse. Others have written about similar experiences, but it has been a harrowing, educational time. I didn't find much something. On a Reddit-like thread ly, Anno incoryotated conspiratoetal themes into the series and SEELE i but I did find from January, I found a different particular.

According to the Evangelion wiki, SEELE is "a secret and mysterious organization with influence over the world's govern- ments and organizations." Its name comes from the German word for soul. The U.N. is a participant in this secret organization, which has among its goals the uniting of all human- ity and the erasure of national boundaries. SEELE's ultimate motives are sinister, however. culminating in its own control of the world (to the 26 gresitienrial f wartir agninst the jevish onginy E semaiins a mal in fact, the great conspiracy Jevisi UN.

SEELE also has some specifically Jewish elements, in particular its knowledge of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which in Evangelion are prophetic, gnostic texts.
