GOP political ad in Jerusalem Post

Elaine Meinel Supkis
When empires go bankrupt, they sell off slices of the planet and hunks of humanity. The desperate British Empire did this during WWI, for example. The sale of Palestine...before the British conquered it with the help of the devout desert Arabs who were not told of the secret deal...is a classic example of this. Regularly, I go into the sewer of Middle Eastern politics to chart the course of the Apocalypse, the fearful WWIII event that will destroy all humanity. We have to look this in the face and try to understand it.
WORLD WAR I BRITISH PROMISES TO JEWS
The British pledge that formally committed the British to the Zionist cause, was the Balfour Declaration of November 1917, an instrument created after the Husayn-McMahon Correspondence and the Sykes-Picot Agreement.Before the emergence of David Lloyd George as prime minister and Arthur James Balfour as foreign secretary in December 1916, the Liberal Herbert Asquith government had viewed a Jewish entity in Palestine as detrimental to British strategic aims in the Middle East. Lloyd George and his Tory supporters, however, saw British control over Palestine as much more attractive than the proposed British-French condominium. Since the time of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, Palestine had taken on increased strategic importance because of its proximity to the Suez Canal, where the British garrison had increased to 300,000 men, and because of a planned British attack on Ottoman Syria originating from Egypt. Lloyd George was determined, as early as March 1917, that Palestine should become British and that he would rely on its conquest by British troops to obtain the abrogation of the Sykes-Picot Agreement.
In the new British strategic thinking, the Zionists appeared as a potential ally capable of safeguarding British imperial interests in the region. Furthermore, as British war prospects dimmed throughout 1917, the War Cabinet calculated that supporting a Jewish entity in Palestine would mobilize America's influential Jewish community to support United States intervention in the war and sway the large number of Jewish Bolsheviks who participated in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to keep Russia in the war. Fears were also voiced in the Foreign Office that if Britain did not come out in favor of a Jewish entity in Palestine the Germans would preempt them. Finally, both Lloyd George and Balfour were devout Christians who attached great religious significance to the proposed reinstatement of the Jews in their ancient homeland.
The negotiations for a Jewish entity were carried out by Chiam Weizmann, who greatly impressed Balfour and maintained important links with the British media. In support of the Zionist cause, his protracted and skillful negotiations with the Foreign Office were climaxed on November 2, 1917, by the letter from the foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild, which became known as the Balfour Declaration. This document declared the British government's "sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations," viewed with favor "the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish People," and announced an intent to facilitate the achievement of this objective. The letter added the provision of "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
The British Empire was going bankrupt due to WWI. The government couldn't tax the people further and failures on the battlefield and especially the new form of naval warfare thanks to the invention of the submarine, the greatest naval power on earth was rapidly being literally sunk to the bottom of the seas. The dark year of 1917 saw the British government desperately searching for funding and political support. They got this by making promises to conquer Palestine and hand it secretly to the Zionist movement. The Zionist plans were to eliminate all the inhabitants of that part of the earth and colonize it with only Jews.
This had to be kept secret because the Allies in WWI needed support of the natives of Palestine and Arabia. So the dishonest governors of England chose to make a totally secret deal with powerful Jewish bankers and media owners. The seeds of the Apocalypse were sown in secret because all parties knew that sane people would resist this with all their souls.
It took 100 years to retrain and reorganize the aspirations and thinking processes of generations of millions of people to bring about the Apocalypse. In the US, many millions now believe that the only way they can be saved by Jesus is to turn Jerusalem into a burning pit from hell via nuclear bombs. Then, Jesus will come and eliminate most humans and elevate the true believers...who HATE each other tremendously and think each other are really demons....but this demonic Jesus will select only one sect of True Believers to rule the earth and all others including the Jews who don't join the correct Jesus-sect, will be sent to eternal torment in hell.
Members of my own family believe this with all their hearts. They don't talk to me and are often quite cruel, especially my brother who is a minister, because I believe in my more rational and far less deadly paganist universe. I believe that if we honor Libra and have some balance to our lives and not be too greedy or too wild, we can live a long time on this lovely planet we call 'earth'. And Pegasus is all about eating, drinking and being merry. So I kind of like him, too. And the evil sister goddesses are to be watched closely and treated with respect.
But it seems nearly no one wants this religion so I have to tangle with people who have this concept of perfect gods who are 'jealous' as well as murderous. The believers of these gods like to kill people and are willing to plunge the planet into the ultimate war. Palin, the American right wing incarnation of the Whore of Babylon, wishes to have nuclear war with Russia, for example. McCain wants to bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. The forces unleashed by the liberation of the people of Europe in the Napoleonic Wars continues and worsens. For the American and French revolutions destroyed the concept of land being owned by nobles which the inhabitants had to swear fealty to a person rather than nationalism. There was NO nationalism before 1776.
Quickly, the concept of nationalizm=ethnic/religious identity took over in Europe in the dissolution of the great inherited state empires at the end of WWI. But Zionism was the earliest indication of this hideous new force. The American/French revolution idea was that the NATION was the concept. All religions and ethnic entities were equal and the same. The US Constitution even enshrined this concept in no uncertain terms separating Church and State. But the alternative concept was endorsed at the end of WWI because of Zionism. The idea that a people and religion had superior rights and above all, the right to establish religious/ethnic identity states, was at the core of the explosive peace negotiations.
England was the very first to secretly endorse this hideous concept. Before even conquering Palestine, in November of 1917, the British government promised Jewish financiers, in exchange for gold, they could use the British military as mercenary forces to take Palestine and hand it over to alien Jews who would then begin their purge of the natives. Here is an old New York Times article about all this:
December 11, 1917: JERUSALEM AND BAGDAD.
Notice that the Jewish newspaper goes to great lengths to lie about Jewish intentions. We know from letters that have been finally released to the public that Jewish leaders knew they were lying, planned their lies and wanted desperately to keep all interior negotiations as secret as possible. This is because they were planning to commit a great crime. This crime rebounded on the Jewish populations of Europe as it created the conditions of the birth of Naziism. For it clearly showed that there was definitely a secret accord that crosses all national boundaries, one that was a denial of patriotism and was focused on betraying home governments in the name of establishing a Jews-only state in Palestine.
This idea that nationalism is dead and the only true nations are those that are ethnic/religious entities is very insidious and extremely dangerous. Just as we now have, in the US itself, the 'Mother State' of nationalism, the idea that people working for the US government or voted into Congress can be 'dual citizens' due to ethnic/religious identity....IS EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE.
Because I adhere 100% to the true concepts of the American Revolution and the US Constitution, I have been banned at more than one site including the odious New York Times due to talking about the evils of ethnic/religious identity national politics versus true nationalism which means all people who inhabit a geographical political entity are equal as well as patriotic. This is what is under fire in our latest several elections: who is a traitor?
Treason, in my books, involves both the Constitution as well as endangering the affairs of our nation, the USA. For example, the ideological push to eliminate all barriers to trade is treasonous since it is destroying our industrial base as well as our national finances. Running imperialist wars that are costing us an arm and a leg is treason. Making secret deals and lying to the American people is treason. Our media lies to us about nearly all particulars when it comes to the dangers of the Apocalypse. Lying about politicians who openly talk about making war on behalf of the owners of the media outlets is treason.
Note the ad I pulled from the Jerusalem Post at the top of this story! It is all about demonizing Obama. It was posted by the REPUBLICAN PARTY and is in a FOREIGN newspaper, in Israel. It is designed to egg on dual citizens into voting for a Republican candidacy that is a bomb freak who wants war with Iran and his Apocalyptic side-kick, Palin, the Whore of Babylon. Let's go the Haaretz, a liberal Israeli newspaper:
Olmert: No such thing as undivided Israel anymore
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday said that the concept of an "undivided Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves."Addressing the cabinet during the weekly meeting, which focused on the evacuation-compensation bill which proposes offering NIS 1.1 million to families willing to move out of West Bank settlements, Olmert said that this was not always his stance.
"During Camp David I thought that [then prime minister] Ehud Barak's concessions were too much, and I told him as much. I thought that land from the Jordan River through to the sea was all ours, but ultimately, after a long and tortured process, I arrived at the conclusion that we must share with those we live with, if we don't want to be a bi-national state."
During the meeting, Vice Premier Haim Ramon presented the cabinet with the outline of a plan to offer NIS 1.1 million to Jewish families willing to voluntarily evacuate their homes in the West Bank.Ramon's proposal is estimated at a total cost of NIS 2.5 billion. The plan would offer settlers who choose to relocate to the Negev an additional 25 percent compensation and those who agree to move the Galilee region an additional 15 percent.
18 percent of the 60,000 settlers currently living in the West Bank have said they would be willing to relocate. A survey conducted by the Prime Minister's Office showed that more than 11,000 settlers living beyond the security barrier would agree to leave their homes.
Ramon told the cabinet members that "the evacuation of residents of Judea and Samaria is an unavoidable step for those who believe in two states for two peoples - and that includes most of the Israeli public."
Ramon added that Israel's position in negotiations with the Palestinians and in the eyes of the international community would only be bolstered by an announcement that Israel wants to end its presence in the West Bank.
The month after 9/11, Bush went to the UN and sought support in attacking Afghanistan, a country that didn't attack the US [fomer CIA operative, bin Laden was supposed to have organized the attacks]. At the UN, Bush declared US support for a separate Palestinian state made out of the rump of what was left of Palestine after the British conquered it and then secretly began to hand it over to the Jews. The state proposal was strangled by Jewish supporters in the US as well as in Israel. The media went to great lengths to prevent any talk or negotiations that would lead to a separate state all the while, lying about nearly everything and pretending to be interested in negotiations.
Well, this month, all pretense has been dropped. Ever since the Jewish leaders managed to drag poor Obama off to AIPAC and forced him to swear fealty to an anti-American religious/ethnic state, all pretense of negotiations with Palestinians has been dropped. Now, the Final Push to the Sea is beginning. Settlers brought in via US taxpayer dollars are rioting in the West Bank. The subterranean daily insults, abuses and open beatings ministered to the natives has now risen to outright murder and riots. And not a peep about this makes the US news. Here is today's news in Israel via Haaretz:
Security officials vow tougher line against settler violence
Senior security officials said Saturday they would take a harder line in light of the recent spike in violence by West Bank settlers against Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.A Palestinian youth was killed and a settler, two women tourists and eight Palestinians were injured in a series of violent incidents over the weekend throughout the West Bank. A military official called the events "wild rioting that must be stopped."
This story does not appear in any US media. During WWI, the population was kept in the dark about casualties and war losses, especially the deteriorating financial condition of the empires. So it is today: the US public is, for the most part, nearly totally oblivious about what is going on. Not due to stupidity but due to the hyper-secrecy of the US media and the politicians who all are owned by AIPAC at this point. To show how this insidious process works, I asked the NY Times to list all articles about settlers rioting and attacking Palestinians. And got a very meagre handful of listings.
Here are some older stories of similar riots, one of which actually appeared in the NY Times although it was merely a Reuters cable, not a big NYT story. Only stories praising Jewish delusions is allowed like the recent one where a Jewish reporter for the NTY walked around Tel Aviv's segregated beaches and met only Palestinians who agreed with him that all was well and the Jews were really nice people, not vicious conquerers.
Israeli Is Slain on West Bank; Settlers Riot in an Arab Town
Published: April 12, 1987
An Israeli woman was killed by a firebomb thrown into her car in the occupied West Bank Saturday, and in response hundreds of Jewish settlers rampaged in the West Bank town of Kalkilya overnight, breaking windows and setting cars ablaze.An Israeli woman was killed by a firebomb thrown into her car in the occupied West Bank Saturday, and in response hundreds of Jewish settlers rampaged in the West Bank town of Kalkilya overnight, breaking windows and setting cars ablaze.
February 01, 2006 Settlers Riot, Hurl Cement Blocks, Stab Police – 200 Injured
Thousands of right wing settlers attacked police attempting to evacuate the illegal West Bank Bank outpost of Amona. Rioters hurled cement blocks and rocks at police, and used knives and other weapons. One policeman was stabbed in the stomach; another was critically injured by a cement block thrown on his head. Many more were injured. One settler had a serious skull fracture. In all, a total of 200 police and settlers were injured.What is the answer to this anti-democratic anarchy? Immediately stop all state funding to hesder yeshivot. Arrest those on the Yesha Council who refused to stop the violence. Fire all rabbis on the government payroll who in any way support disobeying orders, violent protest or refusal to serve. And arrest any rabbi who has committed treason or encoraged violence.
About once every 5 years, the Times carries an article about this. I remember when the horrors happening to blacks in the US south never made the news. It was only when the media began to carry stories about the white on black crimes, did the rest of the world demand this stop. The US was running a huge propaganda war against Russia while conducting ethnic cleansing in the US south. This was forced to stop, thank goodness.
Here is a BBC story that didn't make any US media reports:
Blair's relative 'stuck in Gaza'
Lauren Booth, human rights activist and sister-in-law of the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, has said she is being prevented from leaving Gaza.
Ms Booth arrived in the Gaza Strip on a "peace boat" to publicise Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory.But she said the Egyptian and Israeli authorities had prevented her from leaving Gaza three times.
Mr Blair, now an international envoy to the Middle East, is currently in the region meeting senior Israeli leaders.
Here we are, in a very stupid election with the very first 'black' candidate getting support of half of the nation and he can't argue with his white opponents or he is called 'uppity' and is hassled by the media into shutting up while the white candidates hammer away at him. He can't even debate issues without being seen as 'uppity'. This is tied into the business of Israel for racism is all about being Jewish and 'pure'. As all ethnic/religious states depend on sexual identity, this is an ugly undercurrent in US politics.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestine doesn't make the news here. And it is very ugly. It has also revived ethnic identity politics across the Islamic world. This is why we see tensions between rival Muslim faith groups like the Shia versus the Sunni. State lines not only have to be constantly redrawn, whole populations must be eradicated or moved when this happens. We see this across Europe during the last 100 bloody years. It continues in Europe. We see Belgium unable to have a stable government due to hostilities over language and religion in that tiny, so-called 'civilized' country. Former Austro-Hungarian imperial countries are sub-dividing in ugly ways. Just as the Ottoman Empire continues its disintegration.
The philosophical battle between nationalism and tribalism is lost. Tribalism is winning, hands down. Except in China. This is why I say, China is now the leader in true liberalism. The attempt by the tribalists in the West at splintering China along ethnic/religious tribal lines has failed. And China intends to keep this from happening. I was one of the very few commentators in the US to understand that the victory of China over the religious/ethnic rioters in Tibet was a good thing.
The Chinese have been slow to talk about the philosophical underpinnings of these nationalist victories. Europe is going the opposite direction: it is trying to become a loose confederate empire by encouraging ethnic/religious divisions under the umbrella of NATO and the European Union. But this is a very weak entity that dares not go to war with anyone. As we saw with the confrontation with Russia.
Russia is very tempted to go the tribal route and have only Orthodox Russians but Putin has cast this aside and he is a convert to the Chinese concept of US-style nationalism! Isn't this utterly ironic? Now, back to today's Haaretz:
ADL: Religious groups' plan to break bread with Ahmadinejad is a 'betrayal'
Five American religious organizations have announced plans to host a dinner to break the Ramadan fast with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his upcoming visit to the United States.The Mennonite Central Committee, the Quakers, the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace and the American Friends Service Committee are sponsoring the meeting with President Ahmadinejad on September 25 in New York City.
*snip*
"It simply defies belief that five organizations with a mission of promoting peace through dialogue would choose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from among the hundreds of world leaders and ambassadors who will be in New York this month, as an appropriate and legitimate interlocutor on world peace," Foxman said.
This story didn't make the news in the US, either. I believe that during the election, the Zionists want to keep as low a profile as possible even as they haul the candidates to AIPAC to swear fealty to THEM and not to the US. I happen to believe that AIPAC has finally gained status as 'traitorous organization' and it should be investigated and then disbanded. It is obviously corrupting our government and endangering the US political systems. Last year, the NYT allowed one of their Jewish internal bloggers the right to call for President Carter to be arrested for treason! The Times hates Jimmy Carter because of the book he wrote that honestly compared Zionist activities in Palestine to be 'apartheid.' The arrogance of the top Zionists has grown to the point, they can openly destroy US Presidents by running media campaigns against them. And they have turned all US candidates into puppets that must dance when the media strings are pulled.
Bob Barr, by the way, has managed to get 2% of the vote in the polls despite a near-100% media black out of his activities and speeches. Ron Paul got even more support despite a huge media push to marginalize him. But note how he has once again vanished from view. I used to say, 'I can hold a press conference naked and the media won't put me in the news except to talk about a mysterious woman who gave a speech while naked.' Actually, I did make a speech half-naked once, way back in 1969. Despite having size D breasts, this barely made the news and no history books about the wild sixties mentions my infamous but invisible speech in Berkeley, California.
Here is more of today's news that isn't news in the US nor is being debated by our candidates except for the invisible Bob Barr:
U.S. to sell Israel Air Force new bunker-buster bombs
Despite reservations in Washington regarding a possible Israeli strike on Iran, the American administration will supply Israel with sophisticated weapons for heavily fortified targets, the U.S. administration announced.The U.S. Department of Defense announced it would sell the Israel Air Force 1,000 new smart bombs, rumored to significantly enhance the IAF's military capabilities. The deal was approved amid public and secret messages from Washington, with the Americans expressing their reservations about a possible Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic's suspected nuclear sites.
What Israel wants, Israel gets. Without question. This is why the US will support all efforts to disarm Israel's neighbors but not Israel, itself. Since we can't disarm Iran, Iran isn't as stupid as Iraq, we must menace Iran with bunker-buster bombs. Israel hopes to use Iraq's airspace to attack Iran. They are running out of time and are itching to get moving. The price of gasoline in the US is shooting upwards thanks to Hurricane Ike. We can triple this if we let Israel fly these stupid bunker busting bombs to Iran.
Medvedev to Haaretz: Attack on Iran will endanger entire world
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Friday, "We know that certain players are planning an attack against Iran. But we oppose any unilateral step and military solution to the nuclear crisis," he added.Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club, an annual forum of opinion-makers in Moscow, Medvedev also said, "The world does not need to tighten its sanctions on Iran at this time."
And THIS news didn't make the news in US media! Not to the degree it is resounding across the globe. But this is why the US is now restarting the Cold War. We have to crush Russia in order to crush the Palestinians. This illogical approach is why I fear the Apocalypse will be dropped on our heads.
MarketWatch) -- Investors in U.S. makers of big weapon systems sometimes say they're nervous a left-leaning Democratic presidency could severely cut military spending.
A more realistic threat to the future of some lucrative defense contracts, however, may come in the form of a conservative Republican.
Right wingers pretend to cut the military but then...OOOPS!....we go to war! Ah well, so much for not spending money! Eisenhower warned us about this. Too many people make too much money making too many bombs. So we have to use them. And any excuse will do.
(UPI) -- Iraqi traders are buying up cheap, low-quality Iranian goods, taking advantage of open transport routes and newly established ties, Iraqi businessmen said.Despite budget increases for the Iraqi government, most Iraqis face chronic underemployment, making cheaper Iranian goods attractive to Iraqi customers, the Iraqi daily newspaper Azzaman reported.
"Almost all Iraqi traders have now shifted their attention to Iran," said Mohammed Abbas, a local trader in Baghdad.
HAHAHA. Iran won Desert Storm II. It was obvious from the beginning that Iran would win. This is overturning all the nice plots and plans of nearly everyone who was focused on increasing US and Israel power in the Middle East. When we go to war on fake philosophical beliefs and secret accords, bad things happen. The pretense of bringing peace and freedom to religious/tribal authorities has led to hyper-nationalism on the part of the Shi'ites in the Muslim world. They are on the path to victory and ethnic cleansing. They totally endorse the CONCEPT of ethnic cleansing which they justify because the US and Europe endorses and believes in ethnic cleansing.
This is why Israel is a huge danger to ALL nations: its fundamental basis is a total denial of the modern nationalist state. Just as Hitler conceived of a national-socialist state based not on citizenship but on ethnic identity, this noxious vision has been pushed even harder by Zionists. They represent the Nazi ideal, not the Washington ideal of a citizenship state where all people are equal. Even the US had to fight for true nationalism which is why the slave-owning South opted for confederation, not nationalism. They wanted to have ethnic/religious identity determine citizenship.
The fight for civil rights is bound up in the fight for nationalist citizenship. This is the big debate we should all be having. Not waving a useless flag but talking about the dangers of ethnic identity politics.

Have you ever read Sinclair Lewis' book "Brass Check" on the US Media?
http://www.amazon.com/Brass-Check-Study-American-Journalism/dp/0252071107/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221412012&sr=1-28
"In this systematic critique of the structural basis of U.S. media -- arguably the first one ever published -- Upton Sinclair writes that "American journalism is a class institution serving the rich and spurning the poor." Likening journalists to prostitutes, the title of the book refers to a chit that was issued to patrons of urban brothels of the era.
Fueled by mounting disdain for newspapers run by business tycoons and conservative editors, Sinclair self-published The Brass Check in the years after The Jungle had made him a household name. Despite Sinclair's claim that this was his most important book, it was dismissed by critics and shunned by reviewers. Yet it sold over 150,000 copies and enjoyed numerous printings.
A substantial introduction to this paperback edition by Robert W. McChesney and Ben Scott asserts the book's importance as a cornerstone critique of commercial journalism and a priceless resource for understanding the political turbulence of the Progressive Era"
========
Also, speaking of the concept of Nationalism, a powerful state separate from religious identity, Henry Kissinger (in the book "Diplomacy") credits Richlieu in France with the concept and successful implementation.
Although we was a catholic Cardinal, he fought the Holy Roman Empire by out-negotiating them in setting up pragmatic alliances with Protestants and Muslims while HRE was trying to kill them.

Noam Chomsky wrote a book called "Manufacturing Consent" many years ago that also talks about how the media controls all information that goes to the public. I believe this was before the rise of the internet, however.
Posted by: DeVaul | September 14, 2008 at 02:07 PM
You just have to look at this election to see them manufacture all kinds of crap. 'Scarlett O'Hara v. the 'uppity' Black Man'. McCain as a father figure. Obama as the black man reaching above his station...
They are pushing all kinds of subliminal buttons, not the least so they can avoid any debate of issues belong to reality.
It is impossible to have a political debate in the US on the terms of the establishment. Their 'manufactured reality' will have you going in circles for eternity jumping from non issue to nonissue. And it is designed that way.

Plus, anything that has been designed can also be "taken apart" if there is collective will. Thats what I think.

There is an increasing number of Americans who believe that sucession is the only answer to our current problems. Most people believe the system is irretrievably broken, and I agree with them on that part.
Our republic was designed for self-governance, which is only really possible if the republic is small enough to engage all the citizens. The US is an empire and not a republic.
The problem with having a bunch of small republics is that they afford very little protection from attack. Look at Ossettia. A small republic whose citizens woke up to missiles raining down on them in their beds.
If you want to be independant and belong to a real republic, you must accept the consequences, just as our ancestors did. They were continually attacked and raided by the British for years after independance.
In short, as a republic, we have to be prepared to endure what Iraq has endured. Something to think about.
However, with the imminent bankruptcy and subsequent default of the US on its foreign and domestic debts, there may not be any real debate on the matter. People will just act.
Posted by: DeVaul | September 14, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Well hopefully those who are "just acting" will be inwit (and not just for themselves).
I think Lincoln made the correct choice at the time (with respect to the "big-picture" question regarding "Union"), BUT....
now is a different time. Its gonna take many to come to any sort of consensus, but that is the point or i could say "the spot" as in "spot on". Anyhow, lately "the few" have been calling all the shots and now with all of this "chaos" everything is up in the air. Uncertainty - we need to learn to "deal with it" and it can be a great tool (sort of).
Thanks for your post DeVaul.
Peace,

Ah, yes, all the lovely strains of Dominionism, a movement with a common goal--the U.S. as a theocracy--who have factions that really despise each other. The Pentecostals and Baptists, who look very similar to outsiders, really despise each other. Both of them are suspicious of the Ultramontaine Catholics (think of the villains from the DaVinci Code). All of them look down on the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Should they actually succeed in their goals, they'll spend the next decade or more in witch hunts against each other as they struggle to see who comes out on top.
And, yes,
NatashaSarah the Moose Hunter is a pentecostal, and appears to believe this dangerous nonsense. That alone is enough to make me work harder to keep her out of office.As for Obama, he's much better than the alternative, but he's not a peace candidate. With Obama, Americans will get a more intense war in Afghanistan instead of the current double occupation. The choice is not between war and peace; it's between which war the US will fight. That said, I'm still voting for Obama, as the true peace candidates--Nader, Barr, Paul--do not have a chance of being anything but spoilers.

Blackwater Worldwide, formally Blackwater U.S.A., is the new S.S.. Only this time many of them quite literally are on steroids. A slight tangent and maybe even too direct of a statement for the dark cloud blog but I know this fact like Elaine knows talking doom from the farm. Anyone at this point who challenges the war machine and the grip now in place on everything we hold sacred, constitution/bill of rights(whatever, pass the remote, it's Sunday) could be eliminated one way or another before this hideous aspect of human nature is put back in the box. Any warm-blooded person who doesn't feel desperately unnerved by the mere presence of these contractor entities within our society will be helplessly preyed upon by what is now quite comfortably roosting among us. These brainwashed and soulless entities are being integrated into all aspects of our police and military. The people with the big guns folks. Don't believe it? HA! Try starting with the following advice BEFORE you even bother to research. If you understand what I'm on about here and don't know what to do listen up too. If you don't take the following words serious, believe, you'll be useless to yourself and others once you do the layer peeling on this one. The stuff is just that fearsome and fear is the power tool of oppression.
Reduce the alcohol intake if not eliminate it all together, stop smoking, drink pure water and juices, eat clean unprocessed foods. Exercise or do some physical labor...you'll like it. Reduce caffeine and sugar. Stop chasing money, violent gratification and porn. In other words, allow yourself to WTFU. Once you do your senses will indicate without a doubt what is healthy or unhealthy in your environment. You'll instinctively be in a position to consciously resist. There is nothing magical or mystical about this solution. Make yourself a healthy sentient being and watch how it spreads.
Talk it and walk it...or at least look like you can. This is the only language the pumped up bully knows. This struggle goes beyond borders and nationalities at this point in time and it will be only concluded favorably with the culture of life prevailing, if we learn how to fight delaying actions. Turn and face, delay, disengage, strengthen, turn and face, delay, disengage, strengthen, 'til the day you exit the show. Strengthen your mind and body, not your gun collection. One very real possibility is that these monsters will eventually turn on each other. Dyncorp vs. Gazprom? That is usually the way it goes.
Resisting these enemies of sustainable life long enough to allow for the extra dimension of human awareness to evolve is essential for the inevitable suppression of the death worshiping cults. Excuse me but life trumps death. One look in my eyes and you know. Tick Tock.

Hey BK - sorry I hadn't noticed you until just now. I have already put my name out there. Numerous times. I'm tired of being out on a limb....because I don't want to get overextended or "out of my league".
Peace,
Ken

Plus, just to be a bit sort-of but not really flippant (because I suppose I can be).....
The Buffalo Bills won (today). Best I can tell from what little I know, it was an inspired victory.
I lived in Buffalo during my "formative" years, and I will always love Buffalo.
Peace,
Ken

Buffalo Ken,
Taken apart how? As long as you and fam are safe in your neck of the woods when the stuff goes down huh? You like Ike huh? Can't we all just find a highly logical solution to this mess? Love? You may be too wasted and hypocritical to actually be part of the dialogue. I won't be back to this particular page so don't waste the space responding directly to me. Explain to the others, I've had enough of you. Proceed to rot...my gift to you. Piece!

Oh no, it is the End of Times: the Buffalo Bills won a game!

Elaine - me and all Buffalo Bills' fans thank-you.
CCG - I rest my case. I'm glad you left so you don't even need to read your own spew. I know it was a waste my time, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Furthermore, I've dealt with many like you.
Posted by: Buffalo Ken | September 14, 2008 at 06:07 PM
And I'm sure so many others here also have. You sound like a bully to me. A cry baby bully.

May want to skip posting on Saudi blogs...
Saudi cleric wants death for TV "sorcerers"
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LE668892.htm
RIYADH, Sept 14 (Reuters) - A senior Saudi cleric has said purveyors of horoscopes on Arab television should face the death penalty, a paper said on Sunday, days after another cleric argued death for TV owners.
"Sorcerers who appear on satellite channels who are proven to be sorcerers have committed a great crime ... and the Muslim consensus is that the apostate's punishment is death by the sword," Sheikh Saleh al-Fozan told al-Madina daily.

People can choose to skip a post or even a poster if they want to. Editors of a blog can block a poster (or at least they can on some blogs cause I know - it happened to me). Anyhow, we can skip can't we?
I think when it comes to monotheism it is a matter of perspective and it also "boils" down to some fundamental definitions for which there might always be some disagreement. Are we able to agree to disagree? Thats a big question. Are we capable of recognizing that there might be other views "shaped" by personal individual experience and location. How could we all ever possibly agree on such fundamental concepts that to a great extent depend on where you were born and who you grew up with and who you live with now.
Gracious.

IMO, the US militarization of Pakistan is an attempt for the cia to do to China what they did to Russia via Afghanistan in the late '70s. China has alot of restive Muslims, and as Elaine has pointed out, the cia is a one-trick pony.

I guess it's one of the part of the plan somehow.
