Resolved Question: Why are liberal ideas considered "socially responsible" while conservative ideas are considered "propaganda?"

Many of those who bash Fox News are constantly calling it a propaganda machine. I guess all the other networks are considered conveyers of truth. Please enlighten me. Holy Cow, I have a bachelor's degree in journalism. I'm pretty sure I know the difference between hard news reporting and talking heads yammering about their political positions. In this question, I am referring to the latter, but I do have a clear notion of the difference. Do you?

Resolved Question: To my darling child..with love mummy?

Dear Child, I am writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though. Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since. The weather isn't too bad here, it only rained twice last week. The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got another bill from the funeral home. They said if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's grave, up she comes. John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were worried because it took him two hours to get me and Shelby out. Your sister had a baby this morning but I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. If the baby is a girl, your sister is going to name it after me, she's going to call it Mom. Uncle Pete fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some man tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened. PS, I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

Resolved Question: Diebold has recently renamed itself. Will that allow them to change their image of being vote riggers?

http://www.prweek.com/us/news/article/733407/Diebold-rebrands-election-products-division/ Sometimes, fact is funnier than fiction. Diebold, the infamous makers of vote-rigging machines, has renamed itself to PES, which is short for Premier Election Solutions. And then it gets even funnier. Guess who foots the bill? We do, as we have to pay Diebold/PES even more in tax money. Will this change the image of this election fraud company and make them be percieved as at least semi-reputable?

Resolved Question: What do you think of this web site about Bush being 1 Anti-Christ?

Nice Guy? or the Devil's Spawn? He snorted cocaine ... He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a complete failure at business until his wealthy friends bailed him out. Yet within a few short years he was elected Governor of Texas, and quickly catapulted into the White House, in spite of losing the popular vote. He was re-elected with last minute help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of high disapproval ratings. He still couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag .....and yet he's declared an endless war and instituted some of the most radical political changes in American history .... ....... How has He done it? I submit to you that George Walker Bush is the ANTI-CHRIST. The violence and destruction that started when Bush first entered office, is likely to culminate in the apocalypse, just as predicted in the Bible, over 2,000 years ago. ( I first posted this on Geocities over four years ago, before the 2000 election, to sound the alarm. Tragically, nobody listened. Now the World Trade Center has been hauled off for scrap, the Constitution is in tatters, our civil rights in ruins, and our nation is off fighting a Holy War in the Middle East..) The Evidence: Let's look at exhibit 1: The Number of the Beast The Bible gives us a way to prove whether or not a person is the Antichrist. Rev 13:18 says: "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." That is, the number 666. St. John the apostle, the author of Revelation, was a Jew who wrote in Greek, though he did his thinking in Hebrew. He knew that every Hebrew letter has a numeric equivalent, and that's how the number 666 originated. Gematria is the process of adding up or counting the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in a word or name. Here is a table that list the Hebrew letters and the numbers that correspond. PLATE I.- TABLE OF HEBREW LETTERS Hebrew/Chaldee Letters Name Sound or Power Roman Letters Used Numerical Value Aleph Beth Gimel Daleth He Vau Zayin Cheth Teth Yod Caph Lamed Mem Nun Samekh Ayin Pe Tzaddi Qoph Resh Shin Tau a (soft breathing) b, bh (v) g (hard), gh d, dh (flat th) h (rough breathing) v,u,o,w z, dz ch, h (guttural) t (strong) i, y (as in yes) k, kh l m n s o, aa, ng (guttural) p, ph (f) ts, tz, j q, qh (guttural) r sh, s th, t A B C,G D E V,W Z H,Ch T I,Y K, C L M N S O,U P Tz Q R Sh Th 1 (Thousands are 2 denoted by a 3 larger letter; Thus 4 an Aleph larger 5 than the rest of 6 the letters 7 among which it is, 8 signifies not 1, 9 but 1000). 10 20 final = 500 30 40 final = 600 50 final = 700 60 70 80 final = 800 90 final = 900 100 (The finals are not 200 always considered as 300 bearing an increased 400 numerical value) (note: the letter 'S' has a different value depending upon whether it's used to form a hard or soft sound as in 'bus' or 'Bush'): If you add up the name 'George Bush' in Hebrew letters it comes out: G = 3 (gimel) e = 5 (heh) o = 70 (ayin) r = 200 (resh) g = 3 (gimel) e = 5 (heh) B = 2 (beth) u = 70 (ayin) s = 300 (shin) h = 8 (cheth) total = 666 (Antichrist) I challenge anyone to find another powerful world leader, either now or in the past, whose name adds up to 666 in Hebrew. Unlike Hebrew, the letters of the English alphabet don't automatically have a numeric value. The way numerologists convert names into numbers is through a simple numerical code. The most common method used by numerologists today is the Pythagorean System, named for the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who invented it in the fifth century BC. It looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z If you add up the numbers of his full name using this system, according to the table above you get 7+5+6+9+7+5 for George, +5+1+3+2+5+9 for Walker, and +2+3+1+8 for Bush, which all adds up to a total of 78 = 7+8 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. The other method used in numerology is the Chaldean System, which has its roots in ancient Babylon, and is closely related to the Hebrew Kabbala: It looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A B C D E U O F I K G M H G Z P J R L T N W Q S X S If you add up the numbers of his name using the Chaldean System you get 3+5+7+2+3+5 for George, +6+1+3+2+5+2 for Walker, and +2+6+3+5 for Bush, which adds up to a total of 60 = 6+0 = 6. Once again the number is 6. But hold on, because we’re not done yet. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The computer you're using to read this can only understand numbers, and ASCII is the numerical representation of characters like ‘A,B,C’ or an action of some sort. now if you add up Bush's name in ASCII code, you get 71+101+111+114+103+101 for George, 87+97+108+107+101+114 for Walker, and 66+117+115+104 for Bush, which totals up to 1617 = 1+6+1+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. To recap: George Bush's name is equal to 666 if we use the Hebrew letter equivalents. It also equals 666 when we use the two most commonly used systems in numerology, together with ASCII code. Bush has another name used to identify him politically. A Republican from Texas. If you add up Republican in the most commonly used Pythagorean system you get 9+5+7+3+2+3+9+3+1+9 = 51 = 5+1 = 6. If you add up Texas you get 2+5+6+1+1 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. And if you add up Texas Republican you get 15 + 51 = 66. (Ever wonder why George Herbert Walker Bush Sr. left out the 'Herbert' when naming his son? George = six letters, Walker = six letters, and BushJr (or 'Busche', which was the original German spelling of their name) = six letters. = 666. Once again, the number of the beast.) But hold onto your hat, because there's more. Revelation says the number of the beast (the Antichrist) is 666 – it does not explicitly say this is the number of his name, though that could be part of it. So let's continue with the second number used by numerologists, the date of his birth. Mr. Bush was born July 6, 1946. If you add up all the digits in his date of birth you get 7+6+1+9+4+6 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. The third number used by numerologists is the "fate" number. There are two ways to find the number. Many numerologists find the fate, destiny, or ‘lucky’ number by taking the day of the month you are born, and reducing if necessary. Since Bush’s birth day is the 6th of July – no reduction is necessary. The other way is by adding the three components of the date of birth to a sum before reducing. Bush’s birth date is 7/6/1946 = 7+6+1946 = 1959 = 1+9+5+9 = 24 = 2+4 = once again, our third 6. However, to be absolutely certain that we’re dealing with the Antichrist, consider that you can also identify a man by the most important dates in his life – the day of his marriage, or the dates of his children’s birth, for instance. However, since it's the Antichrist we're considering, the most important dates in his life will be the dates on which he acquires world power. These dates will also be readily available to people everywhere, so that anyone can check to see whether a world leader is the Antichrist. Bush's first step in attaining world power was achieved on that fateful day Mr. Bush was first elected governor of Texas - his first elected office - on November 8, 1994. Again, just by adding up the digits we get 1+1+8+1+9+9+4 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. Then he was inaugurated as Governor of Texas on January 17, 1995. = 1+1+7+1+9+9+5 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. After losing the popular vote on November 7, 2000, Bush took his next giant leap towards world domination when he was inaugurated president of the United States on January 20, 2001. 1+2+0+2+0+0+1 = 6. Another six to replace the one he had as Governor. There you have it - 666 - the number of the Beast, any way you care to add it up. The number of his name in Hebrew = 666. The number of his name using the Pythagorean system = 6. The Chaldean system = 6. ASCII code = 6. The number of his birthday = 6. His lucky number = 6. The number of the date when he was first elected Governor = 6. When he is first inaugurated Governor = 6. The number when he was inaugurated president of the United States = 6. The number of the man/beast named George Walker Bush = 666. What are the chances? The chances of anyone's name being equal to 666 in Hebrew are at least one in a thousand. The chances of each of the others by themselves is 1 in 9. Using the law of cumulative probability, we can figure the chance of all these things occurring together in the same man to be 1 chance in (1,000 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9), or 1 chance in 43,046,721,000. That's about seven times the current total world population. Since the Bible says that the Antichrist will be the most powerful leader in the world, and George Bush has already attained that goal, we would need to see another 43,046,721,000 most-powerful world leaders come and go, before we would have an even chance of another world-leader as strongly associated with the number 666. If all the future most powerful world leaders lasted only an average of 4 years, followed one right after another - as with a single presidential term - it would take over 172 billion years before we'd have a fair chance of seeing another world leader as strongly associated with the number 666. Unfortunately, according to the latest estimates, our sun will burn out in another 4-5 billion years. Therefore, it's extremely unlikely that another world leader will ever again be as strongly associated with the number 666 as George W Bush. There is still one more very remarkable piece of evidence: Bush declared his candidacy for president on June 12, 1999, at a mid-day Bar-B-Q in Iowa. By turning the day into a product of simple addition, we easily come up with the date 6/(6+6)/1999. That's a right-side up 666 next to an upside down 666, separated by a 1 that is holding the place for 1,000 years. The 1,000 years is the millennium of peace, which the Bible says will come after Christ defeats the Antichrist (the right side up 666) and rules the world for 1,000 years. Then, after the 1,000 year millennium, Satan will once again be released from hell (the upside down 666, as in coming up from hell). He is then defeated and thrown into the lake of fire forever (Revelation 20:7-10). So what are the chances? Obviously, the chances of any other world leader introducing himself to the world on 6/6+6/1999 are nil - it simply didn’t happen. Bush is the only one and he is the only leader in history who is so intimately connected to what must be the most inauspicious day in world history. Numerology was widely used in the early church, and St Augustine encouraged its teaching as a basic part of Christian education. In the Bible, seven is considered to be a perfect number because God created the world in 7 days. Six is considered to be an imperfect or sinful number, because it falls just short of the perfect number seven, in the same way our sins fall short of the mark. Mankind was created on the sixth day, and it was through mankind that sin came into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve. So the association of the number six with evil, as expressed in the book of Revelation, has its origins in the first few pages of Genesis, at the very beginning of the Bible. Exhibit 2 : Nailing the Beast Revelation 13:1-2 “And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns upon its horns, and a blasphemous name upon its heads. And the beast I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have a mortal wound, but the mortal wound had been healed.” This beast in Revelation is based upon one that first appears in the book of Daniel: Daniel 7: 7-8 “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast- terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns. While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully.” So what are we to make of this confusing symbolism? What do the horns represent? What do the heads represent? What do the crowns mean? What does the body symbolize? It's not that difficult to figure out, now that we know who the Antichrist is. This beast is the image of an empire – the final world empire, and the one that gives rise to the Antichrist. Its body is likened to a leopard, because according to Victorinus, a father of the early church "“This signifies the kingdom of that time of Antichrist, and the people mingled with the variety of nations.” The spots on the leopard represent a multi-national, multi-racial, and multi-cultural 'melting pot'.. This was once the case with Rome, and is currently the case with the United States of America. The mouth is like a lion because Americans speak English, and the United States was once an English colony, and England has always been represented by a lion on the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. The bear is the symbol of Russia, and the bear-like feet of the beast are symbolic of how the only other superpower for forty years was the Russian bear, but now the US is walking all over what was formerly Russian territory, and it now has its ‘feet’, or military bases planted in countries that were once part of the USSR, like Uzbekistan and Kyrgistan. It says this beast comes out of the sea, and this is in reference to the New World, which was discovered by navigators like Columbus. The United States came out of the sea in the sense that at the time of St. John’s vision, it was assumed that the only thing west of Europe and east of the orient was water and the end of the world. The United States, as part of the 'New World', seemed from the perspective of the Biblical or ‘Old World’, to come up out of the water, and literally rise out of the sea. Daniel says this beast is different from the previous beasts. Because unlike all the others, the American Empire isn't headquartered in Europe or the Middle East, and the United States doesn’t formally colonize and occupy other nations (at least before Iraq), but it maintains military bases around the world, and its ships, planes and missiles are able to reach clear around the world, and that's what makes the United States an Imperial super-power. Horns symbolize power or virility, and the horns of the beast represent the powerful men who have come to rule over the American empire. Daniel says quite explicitly (Dan 7: 24) “the ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones. (the Antichrist)” America acquired superpower status, and gained the reach of a world-class Empire, when it acquired the nuclear bomb - at the very end of WWII. Since then there have been exactly ten “kings” or post-war presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, BushSr, and Clinton. The prophecy from Daniel says that after these ten presidents, there will appear another one, an arrogant “little horn”, which is the Antichrist, George W Bush. It says this “little horn” is unlike the other ten presidents, and this is in reference to the fact that Bush had no popular mandate, that he lost the popular vote by over a million votes, and was appointed to office when five un-elected judges on the Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes in Florida. This never happened before in American history, and it makes him different from his predecessors – that and his arrogance, dishonesty, law-breaking, and lust for world power. It also says that “three of the first horns (10 presidents) were uprooted before it.” Bush is a far-right Republican, and this in reference to the fact that when Bush Jr came to office, right-wing conspiracies had already uprooted and destroyed the presidencies of three previous key Democratic presidents, thereby changing history and sabotaging a more moderate course for the nation: John Kennedy, by assassination, Jimmy Carter, through the Iran hostage crisis “October Surprise” , and finally the Monica Lewinski sex impeachment. (which ultimately damaged Gore, as part of the Clinton/Gore presidency.) In all three of these right-wing conspiracies, there was direct involvement by the Bush crime family. Crowns are always associated with kingdoms, and the ten crowns on the ten horns represent the ten kingdoms or imperial powers whose power was eventually assumed by this particular beast, which is the United States. There were ten imperial powers over the past several hundred years, which became the European heirs to the power of the Roman Empire. At one point or other the United States, the ultimate and final heir to the Roman Empire, has either beaten these weaker empires outright in war, or assumed the power and sphere of influence they once commanded. These empires were the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch, Austro-Hungarian, Byzantine/Ottoman, German /Holy Roman, Russian, Italian and French. The American beast, a former colony of these European Imperial powers, now proudly wears their crowns like scalps or trophies. This is symbolic of the US presidents who have wielded their power since WWII, when the power of European imperialism was broken.. Finally, what about the seven heads? Just as the ten crowns represent the power held by ten empires that divided the power of Rome, the seven heads are the seven world-class empires which for a time ruled over all the known world, of which Rome was only one. These seven master empires in chronological order are Babylon (both Old and New), Egypt, Assyria, Medo-Persia, Greece or Macedonia, Rome, and finally the United States. Islam once conquered a large area of the Middle East, but they never had a cohesive, world-class Empire. This also doesn’t include the Chinese, Inca, Mongol or Mayan Empires, because they were too far removed from the Biblical world, which includes the Mediterranean world of the Middle East and Europe. This area remains the critical heart of the Biblical world, even today. It doesn’t include empires like the British and Ottoman, because their power was actively contested by contemporaries, and they never held the sort of ‘sole superpower’ status that once marked Rome, and currently defines the USA. The head with a mortal wound that was healed is the Roman Empire/Nero, which seemed to have been dead for the last 1500 years, but now has been resurrected in the American Empire/Bush. All the other world-class empires were more or less continuous – whenever one was defeated the next sprang up on its heels. In that sense, from the perspective of the Biblical world, there was one continuous world empire that never seemed to die until Rome was finally defeated by the Christian church. This is the 'Whore Babylon' spoken about in prophecy - a premier line of world-class empires that first began with Babylon, and continues on with six other world class empires - the "seven mountains on which a woman sits" (Rev 17:9). A woman who keeps putting on different makeup - but it's always the same old whore. These empires not only dominate the world militarily, but economically and culturally as well. The “blasphemous name” written across the seven heads of the beast (and it says ‘name’, not ‘names’) are the seven letters B-A-B-Y-L-O-N. It also says about these seven heads or empires, that as of the time of the writing of Revelation (95 AD), (Rev 17:10) “five have fallen (Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece), one is (Rome), the other has yet to come (USA), but when it does, he (George Bush – the Antichrist) must remain for a little while.” When the American World Empire moved into Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to dominate and remake the middle east by force, it was a signal that the last World Empire, the Antichrist, and the final days had arrived. Many people wrote to me that Bush can’t be the Antichrist because “the Antichrist will come from Europe” or “the Antichrist will come from the Middle East”. But when pressed to back up their claim, they could not. Whether we like it or not, the evidence proves the Antichrist could only come from the United States of America, and it is none other than George Walker BushJr = 666. Exhibit #3: Daniel's Perspective On Current Events Here is a running commentary on a prophecy of Daniel concerning the Antichrist – one remarkably similar to what we are reading in our daily newspapers: Daniel 8:1-17 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me. In my vision I saw in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam (located in Iraq just east of Babylon)...I looked up and there before me was a ram with two horns (Saddam Hussein), and the horns were long (Saddam once had the fourth most powerful army in the world). One of the horns was longer than the others but grew up later (his forces were divided into the regular armed forces and the Republican army. The Republican army was formed later and eventually grew into seven elite divisions that became the backbone of his forces.). I watched the ram as he charged towards the west, the north and the south. (Saddam was causing a lot of trouble in the Middle East - sparring with Israel in the west, then brutally suppressing the Kurds in the north, and finally invading and occupying Kuwait in the south, which triggered the first Gulf War.) No animal could stand up to him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great. (By 1990, Iraq had become the greatest military power in the region, and was on the verge of acquiring nuclear capability. This would have enabled him to overrun Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Persian Gulf oil states.) As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn came from the west (United States military forces under President George HW Bush), crossing the whole earth without touching the ground (US forces were either shipped across water or airlifted in from across the globe). He came towards the two-horned ram (Saddam's forces) they had seen standing by the canal (the straights of Shatt Al Arab, an important oil-producing region shared by Iraq and Kuwait, and crucial in the conflict. Kuwait was later found to have been slant drilling for Iraqi oil.) and charged at him in great rage. I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. (the air war that proceeded ground action in the Gulf War shattered and demoralized the dug-in Iraqi forces, both the regular army and the Republican Guard.) The ram was powerless to stand against him, the goat knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power. (US ground forces then rolled right over Saddam's forces. Other Arab nations in the region were either neutral in the conflict or openly supportive of US military intervention.) The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off. (After the War American prestige and power in the region soared. Yet in spite of world-wide acclaim and a job approval rate of over 90%, George WH Bush nevertheless lost the presidency a year later, and was no longer commander-in-chief of the most powerful military machine the world had ever seen.) And in its place four prominent horns grew up towards the four winds of heaven. (Having retired from politics, his power and reputation was now in the hands of his four sons: George, John (aka “Jeb”), Neil & Marvin. It was up to them to redeem the family’s name and power.) Out of one of them (that is, from one of his four sons) came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. (George W Bush started out failing at everything, and spent most of his adult life drinking. He had no power to speak of – his horn was very small. Then at the age of 48 he was suddenly elected governor of the southern state of Texas. He gained more power when he was appointed to the presidency, and moved east to Washington DC to assume the office. Now he's sent American forces off to conquer or ‘democratize’ the Middle East, also known in the Bible as 'beautiful land'.) It grew until it reached the host of heaven and it threw some of the starry hosts down to earth and trampled on them. (Here we have a picture of an arrogant leader whose great power has gone completely to his head. He challenges the authority of heaven by pretending to be on a divine mission to attack other nations.) It set itself up as great as the Prince of the host; (With 'Operation Infinite Justice', Bush compared his bloody justice to that of a patient and merciful God) it took away the place of daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. (The United States invaded and destroyed numerous Mosques in the pursuit of fundamentalist Moslem ‘terrorists’. It has also proclaimed that any Islamic state offering them sanctuary will be attacked.). The heavenly host was delivered up (many innocent civilians are being slaughtered by American forces - over 650,000 at last count , an Iraqi casualty rate that's the same as killing about 8 million Americans, or the entire population of New York City - and delivered up as angels before God), and the little horn (George W Bush) raised itself impiously against the regular offering and cast true religion to the ground; (though he claims to be a Christian, and a man of peace fighting against forces of evil, just the opposite is the case. He is a violent and profane man consumed by greed and a lust for power; he persecutes and murders the poor to increase the profits of the rich, and trades blood for oil.) It succeeded in all he did, and truth was thrown to the ground (for a short time his 'war on terrorism' was very successful. He won every military battle and announced 'mission accomplished'. He fooled a lot of people with lies about WMDs, while pretending he's fighting for freedom and democracy. ). Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled? -....." He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated." (The ‘war on terrorism’ will last about six and a half years, causing an unbelievable amount death and destruction. Then Bush/the Antichrist will be removed by God, and peace restored to the Middle East)....While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man. (Jesus, the son of God) And I heard a man's voice calling, "Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision." As he came near the place I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. "Son of man," he said to me, "understand that the vision concerns the time of the end." (This vision is about the last days - the time of the Apocalypse and the battle of Armageddon.) Exhibit #4a: the Bush/Nero Connection The term "antichrist' was first used in the most recent books of the Bible, ( 1 John 2:18) " many antichrists have made their appearance." Most Biblical scholars believe that St. John was referring to members of a Gnostic Christian cult. For the early church, all those actively working against the spirit of Christ were considered antichrists, whether or not they call themselves Christians. As St. Augustine put it: “There you have the Antichrist – everyone who denies Christ by his works.” At the same time, the early church believed that there would be one individual, a single man whose evil deeds would far exceed all the others; and this Antichrist would make his appearance just before the second coming of Jesus. Jesus called him ( Mark 13:14) "the abomination of desolation" Paul referred to him as the ( 2 thess 2:3) "man of sin" and "son of perdition". John in his letter and in his Revelation to the church called him "the beast" or "antichrist." Most scholars now believe that the antichrist in the book of Revelation was Nero, emperor of Rome from 54 - 68 AD. Nero was the first emperor to persecute the church with a vengeance, blaming Christians for the burning of Rome, and torturing them to death in the Forum. Both St. Paul and St. Peter were executed by Nero. After Nero committed suicide, it was widely believed that Nero was still alive in Parthia (the Middle East), hiding out (much like Elvis), and that he would return to reclaim his throne. As late as the fifth century AD, Lactantius (240-320 A.D.), Jerome (340-420 A.D.) and St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) all assumed that the Antichrist would turn out to be some kind of resuscitated Nero. Were they wrong? Certainly Nero the man never returned from the dead, and the church eventually looked elsewhere for the antichrist - but that doesn't invalidate the prophecy. Nero has indeed returned, but not as Nero the Roman emperor. He's returned in spirit as George W Bush, the 43rd (P)resident of the United States.. Nero was only a foreshadowing of the last antichrist. This final and most powerful antichrist in history is prepared to finish the campaign that began with Nero almost 2,000 years ago. Most Biblical historians, including Barclay, believed that 666 was in reference to Emperor Nero. The Hebrew transliteration (without vowels) of Nero's Latin name, Caesar Nero, (QWSR NRWN) adds up to 666 using the Hebrew alphabet above. But St. John gave us this number (666) rather than his name (Nero) so that we could identify him today. Because as I have already demonstrated conclusively in exhibit #1, George Bush has the mark of the beast like no other man in human history. The Beast and His Brain: One of the mysteries of Revelation has been the identity and connection of a second beast who rescues the antichrist and serves as his prophet. Rev 13:12 "He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast." Carl Rove became Bush's alter ego when he rescued Bush from political death after his defeat in a Congressional race, and since 1993 he has served as the brains and the cleverness of the antichrist. There is even a new best-selling book by that title "Bush's Brain". No mere presidential advisor has ever held so much power. Every decision Bush makes is calculated and spun by Rove for political effect, with absolutely no regard for the truth. A true prophet divines the will of God in order to help lead a nation in the path of truth and righteousness. But a false prophet like Rove can predict the moods and weaknesses of the people and manipulate public opinion through the skillful use of fear, in order to advance his evil agenda. Exhibit #4b: the Bush/Herod Connection George W. Bush is closely related to the House of Windsor and the British Royal Family, and he is related to just about every other Royal family in Europe. In fact, George Jr. is more closely related to British royalty by blood than his own father. Why? The blue-blood of the Pierce family running through his mother's veins. Bush is not only the wealthiest president we've ever had, he's also the purest aristocrat ever to sit in the White House. Why is this so important to our discussion? Because in his recent book, The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, author Tim Cohen has meticulously documented why he believes the Antichrist must be someone who, like Bush, is closely related to the British Royal family. Though Cohen's prime suspect seems to be Prince Charles, clearly George Bush is a much better candidate for the role. Bush's bloodline is also tied into the 13th bloodline of the Illuminati. According to some, the Illuminati are a group of rich, powerful, satanically inspired families who have conspired throughout history to rule the earth, even to the present day. This thirteenth or 'royal' illuminati bloodline is the one that is widely believed to lead directly to the final Antichrist. Noted British author David Icke has traced the Bush bloodline as far back as Phillip of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, who established the Greek World Empire. From that point, the Bush bloodline passes through the principal ruling families of the Roman Empire and eventually through European royalty as well. He is also descended from Queen Cleopatra, royal consort to Julius Caesar. Icke comments that "She also bore twins with Mark Anthony, who has his own connections to this line and its many offshoots" Marc Anthony happens to be the great-Grandfather of Emperor Nero. So now there is also a definite blood connection between Emperor Nero, the original Biblical prototype for the Antichrist, and George W Bush. One branch of the Bush bloodline also passes directly through Herod the Great, the Judean King who originally tried to murder Jesus as a child, and he is related to Herod Antipas, who murdered John the Baptist and turned Jesus over to Pilate to be crucified. Exhibit #4c: the Bush/Judas Connection Understanding the psychology of Judas Iscariot is a good way to understand the Antichrist. Judas was a model or template for the way the Antichrist would betray Christ, even while pretending to be a disciple and follower of Christ. You could say that George Bush is the spiritual reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, since he thinks, acts, and is motivated in precisely the same way. Judas is the disciple who betrayed Jesus for money. Thirty pieces of silver to be exact. The Bible is very clear that is what he did, and what actually happened. But it doesn’t tell us how he rationalized this betrayal in his own mind. It doesn't say because it was basically only a rationalization, and it really didn’t matter. But it is also clear that Judas did not see himself as a greedy man who sold out Jesus for money, even though that’s exactly what he did. The same is very true with Bush – and with many Christians today. We know that Judas was a greedy man because the Bible tells us he kept the money, and it also says that he was a thief. (John 12:6) So he must have been stealing all along. At one point, Judas objects that Jesus is being anointed with spikenard, a costly ointment. He rationalizes how it could have been sold and used to help the poor. But he really didn’t want to help the poor – he only wanted the money for himself. In the same way Bush rationalizes that his tax cuts for the rich were really to stimulate the economy, and to provide jobs and prosperity for the poor. In truth he cares nothing about the poor, and in fact the poor in America are poorer and more numerous since he came to power. Like Judas, Bush was put in charge of the government purse, and he has bankrupted the nation and enriched his wealthy cronies. He is a thief. Exactly like Judas, he uses staged photo-ops and a feigned concern for the poor - as he did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - as a cover for his continuing theft from the government purse. Eventually Judas even sold Jesus out for money. But it's obvious he didn’t understand the real extent of his betrayal till the very end, anymore than Bush will. It's only at the very end, when Judas finally saw himself for what he really was, and understood what he had actually done, that he threw away the money and hanged himself. He committed suicide because he couldn't live with the truth of what he had become. You see, Judas had deceived himself as much as he deceived everyone around him. Jesus constantly warned about the deceitfulness of riches, (Mark 4:19) but it’s not a warning Judas took very seriously. Nor has Bush. So what kind of rationalization did Judas give himself for betraying Christ for money? Did he tell himself it was to compel Jesus to take a more aggressive stand against Roman occupation? Had he convinced himself that he could hurry along coming of the Kingdom of God? In spite of all the miracles, had he convinced himself what a lot of other people believed – that Jesus was crazy, a charlatan, or that he needed to be stopped for his own good? Whatever rationalization he gave himself, it was not the real reason. The real reason was greed. In the same manner, Bush has betrayed and lied to his own countrymen, and gotten us involved in a bloody war in Iraq. He told us it was over weapons of mass destruction, but that was a lie. He's still telling himself it's to establish freedom and democracy in the Middle East, but that's a lie and a rationalization as well. The real reason is greed for oil. Why was it that Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss? Isn’t it because he didn’t yet understand the depth of his betrayal? So why should we expect Bush to understand? The fact that Judas didn’t understand until the very end, did not make him any less evil, or his actions any less reprehensible. It is our actions that matter, not how good we are at rationalizing them. It is the 655,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children killed, and 3,000 American lives wasted - that's what matters. Spinning and rationalizing is something the most evil people are best at doing. Including Bush. new exhibit! Exhibit #5 Photographic Evidence According to "Satanism In America" the Il Corduno or "horned hand" is a sign of recognition between practicing Satanists. Here is a picture of the salute taken from a Satanic manual. Notice how it is a one-handed salute, and that the palm of the hand faces outward. The following are just a few examples among the numerous times where Bush has been seen flashing the 'devil's salute'.- even at his second inauguration. His explanation? According to Bush, he's not giving the internationally recognized sign for devil worshippers. According to him, he's giving the sign of the University of Texas Longhorns. But this doesn't hold water for two very good reasons. #1 George W Bush never attended the University of Texas. He received his undergraduate degree from Yale University. The University of Texas law school then turned him down flat, because his record at Yale was so bad. But family connections enabled him to get into Harvard Business school. Nobody in their right mind goes around continually flashing the sign of a college they never attended, a college that rejected him. He likely did pick it up at college, but while attending Yale, and after joining a Satanic cult called "Skull and Bones". #2 There is another very good reason why his alibi just doesn't wash. Bush really isn't flashing the sign of the Texas Longhorns at all. This following is a picture of a University of Texas student giving the Longhorns salute. Notice how BOTH hands are used, and the back rather than the palms of the hands are facing outwards, to simulate a Texas Longhorn. It is apparent Bush is definitely NOT giving the University of Texas Longhorns salute. Rather, he's giving the Satanic 'horned hand' salute. Now he's even got his wife doing it! BTW: Laura also killed her boyfriend and got away with it. (Some have emailed me to say that many people in Texas use the same salute. That's irrelevant. Even if everyone in Texas does it (which is doubtful) - it's still a satanic salute, no matter who does it. It's Satanic because that's how the salute originated, and how it is interpreted by most people throughout the world today. Bush knows exactly what he's doing, and how it's seen and interpreted around the world. As a publicly elected (or appointed) representative of our government, he has a responsibility not to say or do something that might reflect poorly upon our nation. He knows it's Satanic, and yet he continues to do it. Therefore, he's intentionally flashing a Satanic salute.) Exhibit #666: Psychological Proof The Antichrist is the greatest deceiver of all time. The Bible indicates he will even pretend to be religious. In fact, he will ultimately pretend to be God, and be worshipped as God half way through the Apocalypse. More than any other president Bush wears his religion on his sleeve - both for political gain, and to deceive the world. Presidential assistant David Kuo quit his post because he was convinced that Bush had deceived conservative Christians. Bush says that God (rather than the Supreme Court) chose him to lead the nation, and he sees himself on a divine mission. Bush told an Amish group in Pennsylvania that "God speaks through me." Another story that ran in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz tells how Bush had told Middle East leaders that " God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [ Hussein], which I did” What's important about these voices Bush is hearing, which are effectively telling him to go kill people, is that Jesus consistently taught his disciples to overcome evil with good, rather than with bombs and bullets and violence, and, "all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." (Mat 26:52) It is eminently reasonable to assume that the voices Bush is hearing are not coming from God at all, but from Satan. It is also reasonable to assume that the devil does not desire peace, but war, death, and destruction. Why is it that when ordinary citizens hear voices telling them to go kill people, we lock them up for the safety of themselves and the community? Yet when Bush hears voices telling him to kill, many evangelical/fundamentalist Christians rejoice, and pretend he was chosen by God. Along with hearing voices, the degradation of his cognitive and verbal skills has been striking, when compared with where he was just ten years ago. “Worried White House aides paint a portrait of a man on the edge, increasingly wary of those who disagree with him and paranoid of a public that no longer trusts his policies in Iraq or at home. It reminds me of the Nixon days,” says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. “Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. That’s the mood over there.” In interviews with a number of White House staffers who were willing to talk off the record, a picture of an administration under siege has emerged, led by a man who declares his decisions to be doing “God’s will” and then tells aides to “fuck over” anyone they consider to be an opponent of the administration." In another much-under-reported story, a very prominent Washington psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank has diagnosed Bush as a very paranoid and sadistic megalomanic. In his new book, Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President, he writes that Bush's years of heavy drinking "may have affected his brain function" and he "fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated." His diagnosis? "Our sole treatment option -- for his benefit and for ours -- is to remove President Bush from office . . . before it is too late." Unfortunately, Democrats have taken impeachment off the table - at least for now. Dr. Frank's conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School. Bush seems to have fooled a lot of people into believing he really is God. One man in Florida said what may people on the religious right are saying, "this is the first time I felt God was in the White House." There is even a website dedicated to his worship called "Bush IS LORD". How's that for an abomination? (Some have e-mailed me to say that Bushislord.com is only a parody site. but the Bible says that the Antichrist will be worshiped as God, whether seriously or not. See below for the more serious Bush worshippers. As far as Bush not being the Antichrist because he's not very popular around the world, that mistake stems from a confusion over the antichrist as a system of values vs. the Antichrist as an individual. American culture is still very popular around the world, even though Bush is very unpopular. If the singular Antichrist was popular and beloved all around the world, how do you explain the battle of Armageddon, when the Antichrist will be violently opposed and overthrown by the rest of the world?) Chuck Baldwin is founder and pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida. He has a daily syndicated radio talk show on the Genesis Communications Network called “Chuck Baldwin Live” Chuck says: “many people attribute to Bush god-like qualities, which actually makes him a better candidate than Clinton was…I do believe that Bush possesses more deceptive qualities than Clinton did and, therefore, is more dangerous...one of the chief characteristics of the coming antichrist is that he appears "as an angel of light...Bush' s acceptance by the overwhelming majority of Christian people proves the country is ready for the Antichrist." Now listen to what the most renowned prophet of the Christian era has to say in exhibit 7: Exhibit #7: Nostradamus Michel Nostradamus (1503-1566) a French physician and astrologer who wrote over 900 predictions concerning the fate of the world. Written in four-lined rhyming quatrains, they were to be become famous for their astonishing accuracy. Note: A quatrain circulating around and attributed to Nostradamus: "The village idiot" etc. is a hoax, and it was not written by Nostradamus. That being said, the devil does hide the truth behind a lie, and the Antichrist's most important identifying trait is his ability to deceive. What better deception than to play the idiot? Hitler was once ridiculed and compared to Charlie Chaplain, but the world eventually discovered he was anything but a joke. Bush openly remarks that his greatest advantage lies in the fact that people tend to "mis-underestimate" him. The devil's most powerful weapon lies in the fact that we often underestimate his great cunning. I'm not denying that in may ways Bush is a complete idiot - however the principalities and powers guiding his actions are not stupid. Not by a long shot. Nostradamus outlined three distinctly different and progressively worse Antichrist figures, the last one being the bloodiest of all. The first two Antichrists have already come and gone, namely Napoleon and Hitler. So we are now waiting for the final Antichrist. Using this information as background, we can now focus on details concerning the final Antichrist, according to the prophesies of Nostradamus: century 6 quatrain 13 A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign The greatest part will uphold him A capital will not consent that he should reign. His great chair he shall not be able to maintain. This one is pretty straightforward, and it concerns the man who tried to stop the AntiChrist's rise to power: "A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign" = Everyone doubted Gore had a chance, but he ended up nearly capturing the presidency. "The greatest part will uphold him." = He won the popular vote. "A capitol will not consent he should reign" = The right-wing US Supreme Court in the capital Washington DC stopped the counting of votes in Florida to ensure Gore's defeat. "His great chair he shall not be able to maintain." = He also lost the office of Vice President. century 2 quatrain 62 Ma-bus then will soon die, there will come A horrible slaughter of people and animals: At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands, Blood, thirst and hunger when the comet will run. This gives us a clue to the last Antichrist's name, the sign of his coming, and the slaughter he will initiate before being removed. His rise to power is associated with a comet, and it was during the spectacular show of the Hale-Bop comet that Bush's own political star rose like a comet - he assumed his first elected office in '95 when Hale-Bop was first sighted, and by the time the comet reached its brightest stage in '97, he was already being talked about as the next president. "will soon die" may mean after the comet dies and the antichrist assumes power (the presidency), "will come a horrible slaughter " referring to the coming apocalypse in the middle east. "vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands" refers to the western alliance formed to take revenge for the bombings of the WTC and the Pentagon. "MA-BUS" is also short for ‘the AMerican, Bush’, just by inverting the first two letters and leaving out the last H, which is already silent in Latin languages like French, the language of Nostradamus. It is also a combination of MR.Bush, where the R looks like a capital A. Mabus is also a combination of MAgog and Bush, a reference to Bush’s given name in a Satanic cult. (Bush was named ‘Magog’ in the scull and bones society.) Homework assignment: Write down the first two letters of Mabus – Ma, turn them around 180 degrees, and hold it up to a mirror, Mabus becomes gW Bush. Note: Nostradamus also misspelled that Hitler's name, calling him "Hister" (Hysterical Hitler?) century 2 quatrain 30 One who the infernal gods of Hannibal Will cause to be reborn, terror of all mankind Never more horror nor the newspapers tell of worse in the past, Than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq). “ The AntiChrist, aka MA-BUS aka 'MAgog Bush'aka the AMeircan BUSh, is strongly associated with a reincarnated Hannibal. Hannibal was a general from Africa who invaded Italy with his elephants in order to conquer Rome. But he failed to deliver the final crushing blow. Sound familiar? Colin Powel is another general, originally from Africa, who also marches with the elephants (Republicans). Just like Hannibal, Powel launched an attack in the first Gulf War, but he failed to go all the way Baghdad to remove Saddam, just like Hannibal failed to capture Rome itself.. “Never more horror… than will come to the Romans through Babel (Iraq).” This Quatrain equates the United States with Rome, and tells us that it is because of the current war in Iraq, that the United States (the new Roman Empire) will suffer a bloodbath like the world has never seen before. century 8 quatrain 70 He will enter, wicked, unpleasant, infamous, tyrannizing over Mesopotamia (Iraq). All friends made by the adulterous lady: the land dreaded and evil in aspect. This indicates the antichrist (Bush), not desiring peace, will bully and 'tyrannize' Iraq. The 'adulterous lady' is the statue of liberty, lady liberty, a symbol of America, that followed the Antichrist to satisfy their greed and thirst for power (and oil). America's 'friends' are the allies bullied into aiding American aggression in Iraq. century 10 quatrain 66 The chief of London by the American reign, The isle will divide thee from Scotland by frost; They will have again as King one who is so false an Antichrist, That he will put them altogether in a conflict; The 'chief of London' is Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain, and it indicates that America is telling him what to do. 'Divide thee from Scotland by frost' dates this prophecy by indicating how Scotland recently voted for home rule and convened their first Parliament since 1707. 'Have again as king...' indicates how Bush, the American Antichrist, is making British foreign policy like a king - and the fact that his family is descended from British royalty. 'Put them altogether in a conflict.' says he will drag both Britain and America into war in the Middle East. Century 1 quatrain 50 From the three water signs Will be born a man Who will Celebrate Thursday as his feast day. His renown, praise, rule and power will grow on land and sea, Bringing trouble to the East. Bush was born on July 6 = Cancer, one of the three water signs. He was born in America, which celebrates its birthday on July 4 = Cancer. He was born in New Haven Connecticut, which was founded by Puritans on March 17, 1638 = Pisces, another water sign, though he claims to be from Texas, which on March 2, 1836 became a Republic = again Pisces. The Thursday "feast day" is an obvious reference to Thanksgiving, which identifies the Antichrist as an American president. It indicates he will have considerable military success at first, but in the process stir up ancient fears and sunni vs shiite hatreds, that will eventually lead to the battle of Armageddon . century 10 quatrain 72 The year 1999, seventh month, From the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, Before and after Mars to reign by good luck. In June of 1999, Bush formally declared his candidacy for president, and by a July he was already calling himself the president. It is important to understand it was not just a mistake. The AntiChrist receives his authority from Satan - not from God, and not from men. By "mistakenly" calling himself president before any election had been held, Bush was announcing to the world for the first time in July of '99 that he was Satan's chosen ruler - the AntiChrist. Likewise the first AntiChrist, Napoleon, crowned himself emperor. And again the second AntiChrist aka Hitler never waited to receive a popular mandate before seizing power. Like Hister, Ma-bus aka 'AMerican- Bush', aka MAgog Bush, used thugs to enforce his authority in Dade county. If Bush had won the popular vote, and had not stolen the election in Florida, it would have been conclusive evidence that he was not the third AntiChrist. Secondly, the quatrain refers to the fact that Antichrist will come into the world from the sky - the French word can also be translated as 'heaven'. George Bush was born in 'New Haven' Connecticut. (Scripture says Jesus will also return from heaven, and the antichrist is the counterfeit of Christ.) Thirdly, it indicates that after the US gets bogged down and weakened by a religious war in the Middle East, it will be Communist China's good luck to be able to overrun what's left of the world in the style of Genghis Khan! Still not convinced? Exhibit #8: Bush's Secret Alliance With EVIL You won't read about it in the New York Times, let alone hear about it on the FOX network, but the current occupant of the White House is not only an ongoing member of one of the most evil and Satanic cults in America, but his family got rich helping Hitler come to power and exterminate six million Jews. George W Bush was/is a member of the "skull and bones" society. There's even a movie about it. And no, this isn't just another harmless Greek fraternity. It’s a secretive, satanic cult for the jaded and self-appointed elites at Yale University. The upper crust of the upper crust – with only 15 new initiates selected from each graduating class. Bush wrote in his autobiography it was, "so secret, I can't say anything more." But I can: We know that initiates undergo torture, kiss a scull, press a human femur bone to the initiates backside, act out a throat slashing ritual murder, and they pledge allegiance to a figure dressed up as Satan. They are also compelled to relate their entire sexual history while masturbating in a coffin. Bush had the name "Magog" , because he had the most extensive illicit sexual background of all the new initiates. And of course, Gog and "Magog" are names directly connected with Satan and the Antichrist in Revelation (20:8). The following is a short clip from a video taken by investigative journalist Ron Rosenbaum on April 14, 2001: Scull&Bones; Clip The words and imagery of the cult are heavily centered on death, as they repeat the same mantra over and over, till it is burned into their conciseness: THE HANGMAN EQUALS DEATH! THE DEVIL EQUALS DEATH! DEATH EQUALS DEATH!’ Initiates are instructed to "die to the barbarian world" so that they can be reborn in the "The Order," a brotherhood of Satan. In a new and more recent twist, in addition to being cross examined by Satan, initiates are also being cross-examined by a member dressed up as George W Bush, aka "Magog", who hurls vulgar profanities and says thing like "I’m gonna kill you like I killed Al Gore." Some may want to dismiss all this as somewhere on the extremely poor-taste edge of college hijinks, but it’s much more serious than that. Such a darkly obscene and prolonged ritual cannot help but have a lasting impact on the souls of young initiates. Oaths to the devil taken in jest are nevertheless taken in fact. It's also important to point out that scull and bones cult members do not resign after graduation - like born again Christians they consider themselves to be born again into “the order” forever- only they're reborn in Satan, and not the Holy Spirit. They even have their own hideout called Deer Island, where former Bones members bring their families for summer reunions. A secluded hideaway is located in the St. Lawrence River, and owned by the Deer Island Club Corporation, a shell company operated by Skull and Bones members. The Scull and Bones Satanist Elites maintain their cultic relationships their entire lives - mostly by helping each other gain positions of influence and world power, in order to make more money. A satanic mafia for the super-well-connected. Though Bush kept going bust in the oil business, his comrades from scull and bones helped bail him out, and it was they who would later give him his start in politics. Bush was also involved in torture at Delta Kappa Epsilon, at a time when he was President of the fraternity. One pledge recalled how this "compassionate conservative" took great pleasure in branding him with a red hot iron, leaving him with scars which he carries to this day. When the hazing scandal broke in the campus newspaper in the late '60s, Bush tried to defend the illegal torture as a "harmless prank", but the fraternity was fined and the branding practice halted. It's little wonder that he still considers illegal torture a 'harmless prank': When he was a boy he also used to sadistically insert firecrackers into frogs and blow them up for kicks. Little wonder that under his leadership, for the first time Americans are engaging in the shameful and counter-productive practice of torturing prisoners in places like Abu Ghraib Prision. Then there's the Bush family alliance with the greatest evil in history - Adolph Hitler. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush, also a 'scull and bones' man, got rich first by helping the Nazis come to power, then helping Hitler build the war machine that would decimate the world, and then even benefiting from Nazi slave labor and the extermination of millions of Jews. Auschwitz was built near coal deposits so that slave labor could be used in one of Prescott Bush's holdings, the Silesian American Corporation. Even after the US declared war on Germany, Prescott Bush continued violating the Trading With the Enemy Act, until the government finally shut him down late in 1942 - but not before making him rich, and establishing the Bush family as a power in American politics . Exhibit #9: The latest Antichrist Poll Results are in: According to the latest results of a non-partisan online poll, 52% of the public now firmly believes that George W Bush IS in fact the The Antichrist! Wow! That's over half of the public, and a far higher percentage than with any other person. Even Osama Bin Laden came in at only 2%. Seems like the word is finally getting out. An article in Seattle Weekly asks the question "Is Bush The Antichrist?" . While obliquely referring to this page as but a "whimsical 666-numerological riff", it quotes the Rev. Rich Lang of Seattle's Trinity United Methodist Church who says of Bush "He has the spirit of the Antichrist. Literally, break the word apart. It is a spirituality that is anti-Christ." Exhibit #10 (Rev 13:14-15) " that they should make an image to the beast..and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Check out the clip about "Jesus Camp," one of many fundamentalist training camps where little children are being indoctrinated as warriors, and taught to grovel and worship before the image of their Glorious Leader, George W. Bush. To better inform the public, (and to help pay for keeping this site online), I wrote a book entitled "Is George Bush the Antichrist?" Most Americans don't want to believe in the possibility of an American Antichrist - especially the red states. I suggest you read the book before making up your mind. I present the prophetic evidence contained on this page, plus a lot more. You can buy a paperback or download edition of the book at Lulu's website or purchase the book itself at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. or Books a Million . In the section entitled "Six Parables of Cruelty and Corruption" , I use snapshots from Bush's biography to document his character. In 'The Four Horses of the Apocalypse", I expose the Antichrist System. I tell why some Christian fundamentalists are leading the US into a cataclysmic holy war in the Middle East. I also explain why the rest of the world has come to see America as the reincarnation of the Roman Empire. I expose the dark forces lurking behind corporate world domination. Finally, I explain why the relationship between poverty and terrorism has become the fourth horse of the apocalypse. I present an argument meant to expose the ultimate face of evil as it exists in the world today. I've written another book where I deal with the heresies taught by the 'Religious Right' on the subject of homosexual orientation. You can read more about it on my website: goodnewsforgays.com Evidence researched and compiled by: me The BushIsAntichrist Clearinghouse: Many people have sent emails offering encouragement, asking questions, or airing complaints. Due to my hectic schedule I have not always been able to answer. But since many of the issues raised are on subjects I have answered before, I decided to occasionally post a sampling of email along with my reply. Except in the case of people named Bush, I will refrain from using last names in order to protect the privacy of the sender. I have a few questions: First off, this is a personal question, I wanted to know your religion. I myself am a Jew and I have been researching Bush as the AntiChrist myself, although only as a passing fancy.....And one more question: isn't the popular belief that the AntiChrist is a Jew? Would this rule out George W. Bush, or does he descend in some way from Jews? After all, Hitler was half-Jewish, and he is regarded as an AntiChrist figure. Thank you. ---Jordan Jordan, I am a Christian, and though I was raised as a Methodist, I have attended everything from fundamentalist churches like Calvary Chapel to more liberal ones like the Quakers. As far as the Antichrist being a Jew, this notion is part of an anti-Semitic legacy within the church. For instance, Jerry Fallwell says "Of course, the antichrist will be a Jew." but he has no scriptural evidence to back it up, only long-standing hatred. OTOH, according to David Icke, George Bush is part of the Merovingian blood line, which includes Herod the Great, the Jewish ruler who tried to have Jesus murdered in infancy. Dear Sir, I have been all over your site and have re-researched a lot of the information; especially the numerological systems. Your info seems to be on target and current news events have removed any doubt about the rest. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future, or at least what is left of it. I would advise you to turn your sites on the weather for a while. Today is the day after Christmas and there was a terrible undersea earthquake that created a tidal wave that has so far killed over 11,000 people in SE Asia. I live in S. Texas and we had a white Christmas this year. The last white Christmas was 86 yrs. ago and it was only about 2 inches of snow. This time there was 13 inches of snow in Victoria and about 8-9 inches in Corpus Christi. This has never happened. Also, Mt. St. Helens is on the rise again and may blow her top worse than she did before... \Thank You, Rev James James, Thank-you for the suggestion, and I will do more looking into the subject. The belief that the tribulation will be proceeded by earthquakes and various other catastrophes stems mostly from the Olivet discourse in which Jesus warns of "wars and rumors of wars...famines and earthquakes" just before the last days. Recently, people like Hal Lindesy have begun warning that there has been an increase in earthquakes over the last few decades, but I remain unconvinced. A good link that examines the earthquake evidence is "earthquakes and the end times". I do think the recent trend towards global warming is affecting the weather in many unexpected ways, and in a manner that may well be disastrous and irreversible. So this in itself may be a sign of the last days. Not surprisingly, Bush has done everything he could to exacerbate this problem, as might be expected from the Antichrist. YOU are really one sick-ooo. IF YOU "knew" as much as YOU think YOU do, YOU wouldn't be where YOU Are. In the simplest form, the hand sign YOU say is Satanic is the sign of "Hook 'm Horns" for University of Texas Football. As far a s YOU say about GeorgeW Bush, YOU don't "KNOW" anything but YOUR SATANIC ADVICES> YOU don't know whatGEORGE W Bush has domne FOR this country and this world. I have been a all of it. BUT OF COURSE, YOUR MUSIC[?] along with this "piece"[?] tells the TRUTH about YOU and YOURS. JOKER. very sincerely, and PROUD OF IT> BEN R Bush,SR. Ben, ...your grammar tells the truth about you and yours, Mr. Bush. The hand sign is what it is - a sign of the devil, and I know very well what George W Bush has done. Nice to see how christian people respond to people who disagree with them. I talk about Ben R Bush's email to you and your reponse. I wander if thats how Jesus would behave?.... I wont be surprised if this email is not responded too and not put on your site. Douglas Douglas, Jesus was much rougher with you Pharisees than I have been. If I repent anything it's my leniency. Read matt 23: 13-33 for instance. It is always the case that when 'conservatives' like Mr. Bush call me all sorts of hateful names .. like sick..ooo, satanic & joker... you call that Christian. It amazes me how some "Christians" think they can steal from the poor, hate and persecute the most persecuted, launch a war based upon lies and greed, and ultimately consent to the torture and murder of over 600,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, and yet they still consider themselves religious. But if I tell them honestly and directly that they are going to hell for what they are doing, I am the one not being a Christian. The hypocrisy is so deeply engrained, they consider murder less offensive than telling the plain truth. But I will continue to tell the truth - because they will be judged for supporting the Antichrist in all his crimes against humanity. And I'm one American that's not afraid to say so. Your an idiot you need to get your facts straight.And repent to God for your slanderous consperisy theories.GB has never exalted his self over God,but always gives credit to Jesus Christ his savior.This research could only come from a socialist.Do you know Jesus as your personal savior? If not I invite you to know of the love of Jesus. 'Lecates' A unrepentant ally of the Antichrist, a man who apparently approves of the torturer and murderer of innocents, wants to teach me about the love of God?? It makes about as much sense as learning trigonometry from a doorknob. You will find that your empty legalisms and formulas for cheap grace will not wash on judgment day. ive been reading your webpage a lot lately....this whole anti christ thing has really caught my attention....it makes me think what will happen in the next 4 years and i wanted to kno if that picture of Bush and his shadow is real It's a real picture, but since I found it on the internet. I use it for the same reason that I use the pictures of Bush with horns, or dressed up like Jesus. Not to say that Bush has actual horns or that he dresses up like Jesus, but that he uses Jesus to promote his own evil agenda. The shadow picture conveys another truth - how beneath Bush's outwardly pleasant personality, lurks the dark and Satanic shadow of the Antichrist. Very interesting. Would like to hear more! Mike Mike, I cannot reasonably post anymore on this website, which is why I wrote a book. I like your website.To add your website, during the debates lied about god telling him to ivade iraq, i know he lied because i see it in his eyes.Also he studders quiet a bit, which in being the persident is alarming,because it means a sense of insecurity.In a last ditch effort he played 'god' into his words.Four months ago the pope, in his dying bed. told of a fear that george Bush may be the antichrist.God told me he lied, but no one will listen to what i say. Todd Americans seem easy to fool because they lie to themselves about so many things. Americans have the idea that we are doling out lots of foreign aid to other nations, when America is by far the stingiest in terms of aid as a percentage of GNP. Polls show that most Americans think that about 25% or more of the federal budget goes to foreign aid, when the real figure is less than 1%. What I'm saying is that it really doesn't matter what most Americans think, because most Americans are already fooling themselves. And yes, there was also a story that the Pope fears that Bush is the Antichrist, though for obvious reasons the Vatican doesn't want this information to go out to the public. I think you have balls for making a website like this to inform people of this person.... And I dont know why so many people hate this guy and how our country is getting so fucked up, but this person is still in control of it??? Bill Clinton was gonna get impeached for lying about a blowjob, and Bush lied about the yellow cake but nothing what so ever happend to him.... and when the cia agent exposed the lies he exposed her (the CIA agent)...I was wondering if you have ever been to http://www.letsroll911.org and read about how people believe that 9/11 was an inside job from the Bush.... It just seems like nothing can be done about it, how come he cant get impeached or tried as a war criminal??? The American people lost all our rights and freedoms from this man and he's just gonna make it even worse, I'm afraid whats gonna happen in 4 more years. #1 Why is Bush still in control of this country after he's screwed things up so badly? Why can't he be impeached? The short answer is that he's Satan's puppet, and Satan is the ruler of this world. Revelation tells us that the devil gives the Antichrist his earthly throne and power in the last days. So as long as Bush keeps killing people Satan will keep him on staff. #2 I don't believe Bush planned 9-11, but he certainly did nothing to stop it when he could have. He was dropping fast in the polls at the time, and knew it would rally the nation around him. It also gave him an excuse to go to war and start killing a lot of people, which is something he seems to enjoy. Osama Bin Laden is the best thing that ever happened to Bush, and Bush is the best thing that ever happened to Osama Bin Laden. Two evil rich kids who have a lot more in common than most people realize. I don't believe the Bible says the antichrist will acknowledge Jesus as lord which President Bush routinely does. Further, few dispute that the rapture will occur just before or within the first three and one-half years of the tribulation. The President has been in office longer than 3.5 years and the church is still here. Doesn't the Bible say the appearance of the antichrist will usher in the tribulation. If the President is the antichrist, where are the bowel judgements etc....I don't, think it's fair to judge a person's past. Maybe a relationship with God is what turned his life around? JD Missouri JD, #1 Even the demons acknowledged the fact that Jesus was the Christ, so the fact that Bush does means nothing. St. Augustine wrote: "There you have the Antichrist – everyone who denies Christ by his works." #2 as far as your claim that "few dispute the rapture will occur just before.the tribulation" The rapture theory is a revenge fantasy cooked up by apostate fundamentalists. It was invented about 100 years ago, and more traditional Christians do not believe it. #3 the Bible does not say that the appearance of the Antichrist will immediately usher in the tribulation - it says the Antichrist will at first deceive the world and pretend to be a man of peace. #4 Where is the evidence that Bush has "turned his life around"? Is it the 655,000 dead Iraqis? The lies about WMD? The greed and secrecy and theft of oil? Far from turning his life around, Bush has gotten more evil and more destructive the more power he has. He used to only torture frogs as a child. Then he tortured his classmates in college. Now he's torturing thousands in Iraq and Guantamino. For you to completely ignore reality and glibly claim that he's turned his life around just because he says so, demonstrates that you've been deceived by the Antichrist, just as the Bible you would be. George Bush is no longer the Antichrist by your own figures. He will be inaugurated on 1 20 2005. By your theory of replacing new dates of inauguration with each new one you end up with 10 not 6. Someone else has now taken his place. He is no longer the one. Nice try. Case closed. Deb Deb, Case Open. No one has taken his place. I never said that every inauguration date had to add up to 6 - I said every time he acquires new power the date has added up to 6. Bush hasn't acquired any more power - he simply continues in the power he has. If Bush had lost the election, THEN you might have a point . I have never in my life seen someone so blatently deceitful and full of lies as you are. Calling evil good and good evil is definitely a true sign of a anti-Christian, anti Christ attitude along with your hateful music. For those who seek the truth, it isnt hiding but plain as can be. You choose to overlook it all and do lie. ... Who is your God anyway? If it were Christ, you would not lie about those who seek to follow His Righteousness. Do not claim to be of Christ who is of the truth; George Bush (is) a man that has become the leader of our country by the prayers of many righteous people who DO believe he was put their as an answer to many righteous people's prayers to God almighty to help lead our country righteously.... What has made you go against the majority of Christians who voted for Bush. Do you think you are so clever and so gifted to see hidden truth revealed to you that strong praying Christians are blind too. Just who are you fighting? Evil or good? JP I am fighting evil, JP. I'm fighting hypocrisy, murder, greed and the Antichrist. If you're a Christian, you should be fighting the same things, instead of waiting for a rapture that isn't coming. You accuse me of lying, and yet you were unable to list a single fact on my website that was untrue. That's called bearing false witness. It doesn't bother you that hundreds of thousands of innocent people are dying in Iraq because Bush lied about WMDs. Why don't you ask them who is on the side of the truth, when you stand in judgment before God? .im only fourteen, and yet, even i can point out the dumbasses from the inteligent. im sorry to say that all of that on your site was crap....and now i have the privelage to show it to my class and explain to them all why republicans are just smarter......they know what theyre talkin about, and they dont listen to people like you. Alex You must be a late bloomer. I was twelve when I thought I knew everything. But I suspect that the only thing you know for sure is that you parents are right-wing Republicans One doesn't have to guess which party you belong to. Shouldn't have problems getting your book sold. The Bush-haters are legion. Is your motivation hate or greed, or both? I gave away almost a thousand downloads before the 2004 election, and I have made little from selling my book. Barely enough to cover all the expenses. Most people who believe in the Antichrist are supporting Bush, and would never buy my book. . but if he is the anti-christ... that doesn't mean the president's office couldn't have you taken out. He is the most powerful man in the world, he could have you silence if he saw that you were "exposing the truth" but in reality it seems to me you are pretty crazy. Exactly. People like you say I'm crazy, so why bother.? I'm no real threat to him or his plans. The Bible says that the Antichrist will fool the world, not that the world will heed the warnings of fools. I think that your "evidence" as you call it is completely off the wall and you are in fact one of the stupidest people I have ever heard of you really should be in a mental hospital because I really think you need help president Bush is a great person and a great president and maybe if you could just see that threw your pathetic excuses I really think you need help and you have no idea what you are talking about!!! Robert Robert, I've always felt that a total absence of punctuation was either a sign of intellectual laziness or mental instability. you've got way too much time on your hands.....you know I think the Bible also says something about lying .....and about slander.....as well something about the idle man and what he does with his time......so finish reading up before you start accusing people.......cause if you support abortion and gay rights then you're going to hell as fast or faster than Bush....b/c in the Bible it says a little something about not killing and about not laying with another man.....hmm!!! just fuel for thought..Leanne Leanne, If I had a dime for every time someone took the time to email me and tell me that I had too much time on my hands, I would be rich. It's ironic that in a nation where Survivor and American Idol are the top rated shows, I supposedly have too much time on my hands because I research the Bible and write a book. As far as supporting a woman's choice, and the right of gays and lesbians to be treated as equal citizens, I think you are deluding yourself if you believe that hating homosexuals, or pretending that a couple cells in a pitri dish is a person, is going to get you into heaven. I think God is going to be much more interested in the hundreds of thousands of Innocent people being tortured and murdered in Iraq, and many other issues like unbridled greed, abandoning the poor, and religious hypocrisy. It is easy for you to hate your neighbor and be against some other woman's right to choose, but how much effort or sacrifice does that take? Being a Christian means choosing the more difficult path - loving your neighbor even if they're homosexuals, and paying enough in taxes to help a child out of poverty once it's born. You have not done that - you have not chosen the difficult way. You have chosen the wide and easy path...and you pretend it is the Christian path.. I think it is shameful. What you have written here is basically tearing down the reputation of a patriotic American Leader. He is your president for crying out loud. Who took the heat on 9/11 ? who was there to console the country and take revenge. Who protects the world against terror ? this is madness. Bush is not the antichrist, do you understand anything at all ? Bush will be in office for another 4 years and mark my words , nothing is going to happen. Ishara Ishara, Get your facts straight: #1 Bush fled to Nebraska - he didn't take the heat on 9-11. #2 Far from consoling the country, Bush has taken every opportunity to manipulate the country through fear. #3 He hasn't protected the world from terrorism - Bin Laden is still very much alive, and the United States is bogged down in bloody no-win war that has nothing to do with terrorism. I do not know what kind of medication you are suppose to be on, but if I were you I would go see a Doctor because it is not working. Scott Did anyone ever tell you that you are a paranoid idiot besieged by delusions of grandeur and completely ignorant of the meaning of the Anti-Christ. This site is the ravings of a lunatic. I hope you seek help some day. Ross I saw your material on our President and I can safely say that you need your head examined by a competant medical practitioner for there is a great deal missing within your cranium that normal people have. I hope and pray that you will find Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour as George has and then and only then will you realize how foolish you are. May God forgive you is my earnest prayer for you. Mary You, poor poor man....you are an idiot....Chris i hate your website, it fuckin sux. and President Bush isn't anti Christ , YOU ARE!!! If you don't like the President just shut your fuckin mouth live him alone. Hansini seriously dude ur the biggest loser on the planet. ur a treasonists ur an unamerican son of a bitch and u dont deserve your citizenship here if u are going to write slanderish things against the president whom leads ur nation like him or not u dont devote a site calling him satan u should be friggin arrested for this crap u are a horrible horrible person and this site is just a mockery of the stupidity of you and your idiot followers morons grow up. Kevin How do you explain him being christian and going to church and defending christian values Fag do some research before you make tard claims you need to get a life you fucking fag only a pussy would do so much research and totally fuck up everything). pussy. - John Where have you gotten your information? UnofficialCrap.com?...I hope you die you ignorant fucker, Marshall from Texas Scott, Ross, Mary, Chris, Hansini, Kevin, John & Marshall - If you were able to respond with a rebuttal of all the facts, or had offered any kind of reasoned argument , I would be able to take you seriously. Instead, you dished out the usual ad-hominum attack. Your irrational hatred speaks for itself, and requires no further rebuttal. I'm only thirteen so I geuss I don't know much and maybe Bush is the antichrist but I think we might need to wait a while and see. I think the way you've answered some peoples emails was rude and as Jesus Himself said, we should be "slow to anger". Sarah Sarah, Actually Jesus did not say that - St Paul did... and both Jesus and Paul got angry at the legalists and Pharisees. I knew you wouldn't respond to my email on your site because unlike your other critics I provided facts proving you WRONG. ...the number 11 in the occult world and numerology in general is a POWER number and DOES NOT get reduced EVER. This goes for any multiple of 11 such as 22, 33, ...33 being the number his date of birth adds up to.....the number 33 actually stands for someone who will probably acquire a position of great power and responsibility (the Antichrist?)... Being president in a great free country that allows people like you to type such blatant and utter CRAP...I know this won't get posted, because in just a few lines I shot down all your wacky theories. Of course it gets reduced, but you also make a good point: To quote another website: "MASONS AND OTHER OCCULTISTS REVERE THE NUMBER '33' ABOVE ALL OTHER NUMBERS. MANY ACTS OF WAR, MURDER, AND ASSASSINATION HAVE OCCURRED ON OR NEAR THE 33RD DEGREE PARALLEL. (Including JFK in Dallas) IS IT COINCIDENCE BAGHDAD, IRAQ IS LOCATED ON 33RD NORTH PARALLEL?" As a man bent on world domination, we would expect the Antichrist to be associated with the number 33. It strengthens the case for Bush being the Antichrist rather than weakening it. I was actually surprised to see that your site was still up. Don't you ever get harassed by his followers to take it down? How have you kept it up this long? Please respond. NCW I'm on my fourth web server, and we'll see how long this one lasts. Scripture also says Antichrist reigns for a time and is and is "cut off". Can you expound on this? What is meant by "cut off"? Could it mean cut off from power with the recent election of the Democratic Congress? Or could "cut off" mean he won't be able to do anything more in '08 when his tenure is up? (or could) "cut off" mean he gets killed? Anne in Philly The Book of Revelation indicates as the Antichrist is gathering his forces to make total war, it simply says "the beast was taken," and "cast alive into a lake of fire." (Rev 19:20). Then his forces are defeated. Daniel indicates that after about 61/2 years into the war, the antichrist is simply removed and the sanctuary restored. While Nostradamus writes, "Mabus will soon die, then there will come a horrible slaughter." If Bush is indeed the Antichrist, it may be that he is impeached and then removed from office, or dies of some sudden illness or in a terrorist attack, and it is actually Cheney who assumes the presidency, goes berserk, and fires off all the nukes. Keep in mind all this could happen within the period of a few minutes, hours, or days. I have a problem with the brash and flippant way in which you dispatch those who write letters to you. In my opinion, you were even ugly to children who wrote you. This is unforgivable and certainly is not clever, as you seem to think it is. Robert They aren't letters, they're emails. And you're angry because they couldn't dispatch my arguments anymore than you could. Most of these "christians" on your page are probably southern republicans and are already oblivious to Bush's tongue. I do have one question however. I read on a article that that the prophet Daniel once said that " the AntiChrist will be either homosexual or doesn't regard the desire for women." Thank you for your time for reading my email. Tom in NJ This is a good example of how many people either misquote scripture or take things out of context. In this case, it's both. The verse doesn't say he has no desire for women, the KJ says "Neither shall he regard.... the desire of women" The Revised Standard reads, " He shall give no heed to... the one beloved by women." It is the women's hope and desire that he has no respect for - it has nothing to do with his sexuality. This entire section of Daniel is talking about how the Antichrist exalts himself above the law and above God, and it reads (Daniel 11:37) "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." It is saying that the Antichrist doesn't believe in any higher power other than his own - the same way that Bush has now made himself the 'Unitary Executive' - above the law and accountable only to himself. Many people believe "the desire of women" is referring specifically to their desire for a Savior, Jesus Christ. However, many women of this period were also tempted away by various pagan gods and fertility idols – particularly Ashtoreth or Baal - so it could also mean those. The point is that the Antichrist doesn't believe in or bow down to anything but his own stubborn will. Just like George Bush. New: You've seen the website. Maybe you've read the book. Now it's also a blog. In Is Bush the Antichrist? I continue to tackle the issues nobody wants to talk about.

Resolved Question: fax software?

Yeah, norton's winfax is good, but the problem is my copy got some bugs. When I go to the program setup, there are some (crucial) boxes that I cannot fill in - the setup program will close itself for unknown reason after I click the box. The bad news is norton doesn't seems to bother to fix the problem. I got snappy fax too, not that bad, but I still think norton is the best. The bottom line is, I just want a stable and working fax software. I think of getting an actual fax machine from time to time, but I just fax a few things in months, so I don't want to waste the money. Any suggestion? If there is a way to fix the bugs in the winfax, it will be the best.

Resolved Question: What would have happened if the United States officially adopted social measures against Muslims after 9/11?

Thankfully, whatever might be said about US foreign policy after September 11, the government was careful to restrain popular resentment against Muslims and to emphasize that most of them were law-abiding citizens. I wonder, though, what would have happened if instead, George Bush made his propaganda machine go into overdrive. Imagine that news articles began emphasizing the imminent threat Muslims of all sorts posed to the US, and if the police began ignoring incidents of violence. Do you think that in 2001, the population of the US would have "fallen" for it, and would a very aggressive governmental push have been able to counter the liberal opposition that would have doubtless sprung up? How far could America have "pushed it" assuming that the government suddenly embraced a WW2 Nazi-Germany-like agenda, scapegoating all things related to Islam. Could a world war have been provoked? Where would we be now, in 2007? Would Israel be glad? Use your imaginations--no political diatribes

Resolved Question: Is president bush getting ready to lead us into another unnecessary war?

Will we be stupid enough to allow it to happen? Last week President Bush suggested that our confrontation with Iran could lead to "World War III," and Vice President Cheney threw around talk of "serious consequences" for Iran. Now we see news that the Defense Department is already trying to quietly get funding to start arming B2 bombers for a potential attack. Starting another Mideast war with an unprovoked attack? Let's call this what it is: crazy talk. But the administration's billionaire friends are cranking up a huge spin machine -- again -- to convince Americans that this is all reasonable.

Voting Question: To stop the aids epidemic in Africa, stop sending AID workers?

Aid workers in poor countries are a real pandemic. A self feeding monster that serves its growing appetite with the misery of blacks. Either by our weekly barrage of neo-colonial proxy wars. Which is western backed puppet governments or coups. Now every fever or cough is diagnosed as aids to squeeze more money out for big drug companies and the ever expanding aid agency mega machine. Complaints that financial help never works in africa while knowing that the money is actually given to western NGOs while the citizens receive the debt burden. Now with the news of sexual abuses by most aid workers for food with 8 yr old girls, doctors around the world caught injecting aids into children and the deliberate crisis of false positives for HIV/AIDS it's time to throw the baby out with the bath water. The more money has been spent and workers sent the WORSE the problem has been getting 2 decades after France & u.s. agreed to share the rights over creating the aids weapon. Speak out. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/05/08/liberia-camps-sex.html?ref=rss http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9333609 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/071024/health/health_kyrgyzstan_hiv_1 http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/509.cfm it's funny when people chose to be outraged.

Resolved Question: To stop the aids epidemic in Africa, stop sending AID workers?

Aid workers in poor countries are a real pandemic. A self feeding monster that serves its growing appetite with the misery of blacks. Either by our weekly barrage of neo-colonial proxy wars. Which is western backed puppet governments or coups. Now every fever or cough is diagnosed as aids to squeeze more money out for big drug companies and the ever expanding aid agency mega machine. Complaints that financial help never works in africa while knowing that the money is actually given to western NGOs while the citizens receive the debt burden. Now with the news of sexual abuses by most aid workers for food with 8 yr old girls, doctors around the world caught injecting aids into children and the deliberate crisis of false positives for HIV/AIDS it's time to throw the baby out with the bath water. The more money has been spent and workers sent the WORSE the problem has been getting 2 decades after France & u.s. agreed to share the rights over creating the aids weapon. Speak out. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/05/08/liberia-camps-sex.html?ref=rss http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9333609 http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/509.cfm http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/071024/health/health_kyrgyzstan_hiv_1 the question is what do you think, like it is for the thousands of articles that come out online and people jump to leave comments on but for some reason on yahoo answers, people completely forget the format they just used for a blog or news article. As for selective reading, that's exactly the point when I have to search for news that doesn't tow the party line and the version of the story that you PREFER. Determined ignorance is the answer I expected. For the record though, the question is in the question section(top) with the question mark. That IS the solution to the aids epidemic in africa to remove western corrupt NGOs. But keep dodging because that's the most telling reason for so much smothering of any critique of the current regime and its success or failures.

Resolved Question: McCanns: about time celebs had the guts to stand up to the McCann bullies ?

We read that Northern Ireland comedian Patrick Kielty has defended his decision to discuss the case of missing child Madeline McCann during his comedy act. "As a comedian, one thing you always do when you walk out on stage is, you talk about what's going on in the week's news," he said. "I talked about the case and the way the media were treating the case, I talked about the hypocrisy of the PR machine around the whole thing and about the Pope and different things. Patrick said ... "And, you know someone just heard that word 'McCanns' walked out and then, suddenly, it is all over the newspapers that I did this material. "Three people walked out of a show, 1,000 people were at it, I am happy to stand over that." isnt it about time people stopped apolgising to bullying swingers and serial child neglectors ?

Resolved Question: ONE LIFE TO LIVE FANS! (MICHAEL McBAIN) arrested!?

Troubled One Life to Live star Nathaniel Marston has lost his job -- at least temporarily -- in the aftermath of an arrest earlier this month stemming from an alleged drug-induced attack on three people. The actor denies the charges, arguing that he was the one who was being assaulted. Marston joined OLTL in 2001 after having appeared on CBS's As the World Turns. One Life to Live star Nathaniel Marston (Michael McBain) was arrested this weekend after an allegedly assault in which he wielded a metal crate and attacked three bystanders in Manhattan. The actor was taken into police custody, admitted to the hospital for observations and later released. The arrest stems from an incident that took place on Sunday, October 21st at 4:50am near 45th Street and 10th Avenue in Manhattan. Marston exited a cab and began arguing with the cab driver. The 32-year-old actor, who plays a doctor on One Life to Live, is then said to have assaulted three people with a crate, breaking one man's leg. "He was crazed -- I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall," said alleged victim Salvatore Cabibbo in an interview with the New York Daily News. Police were called to the scene and determined that Marston appeared to be under the influence of narcotics, possibly cocaine. Marston reportedly resisted arrest. The former amateur boxer flailed and swung wildly as police tried to take him into custody. The actor was taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he was labeled an "emotionally disturbed person," police said. Also injured in the scuffle was New York City Police Officer Sean Turner. Marston was charged with one count of Assault in the Second Degree, three counts of Assault in the Second Degree, three counts of Menacing in the Second Degree, three counts of Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree and one count of Resisting Arrest. Ten of the 11 charges against Marston are Class D Violent Felonies under New York criminal code. Each charge carries a maximum of seven years of jail time. The resisting arrest charge is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of one year in prison. He was released without bail by Judge John Cataldo. Marston has since denied that he attacked anyone, saying that the situation was the result of mistaken identity. In fact, the actor asserts that he is the one that was being assaulted. "I was attacked by three people," Marston declared, adding he "was happy to see the police," and "was mistakenly taken into custody as the attacker." Marston is scheduled to appear in criminal court on February 4th, 2008. This is not the first time that Marston's anger has gotten the better of him. A show source tells soapcentral.com that Marston had been acting somewhat erratically recently. Last week, the actor erupted while at work in ABC's Manhattan studios. In 1999, Marston was arrested on criminal mischief charges after he attacked an automated-teller machine (ATM) in Manhattan. The actor was fined and ordered to attend anger management classes. Marston joined the cast of One Life to Live in December 2001 as Al Holden, but his character was killed off two years later. Fans flooded ABC with letters of support for the actor and the network un-fired Marston, creating the new role of Michael McBain for him. Prior to joining One Life to Live, Marston a two-year run as As The World Turns's Eddie Silva, a stint that ended in January 2000. With widespread speculation that Marston will lose his job as a result of the altercation, a spokesperson for One Life to Live said only that the actor was temporarily off the show. "We are reviewing the matter internally, and until completion of this review we have taken him off the schedule," the spokesperson said in a statement. F.Y.I I don't have a question i just put that on to let my other OLTL contacts know the info!

Resolved Question: View of Islam, is it a religion of peace?

The recent acts of violence, including 9/11 suggest otherwise. No religion in these modern times can profess to be peaceful and yet support acts of cold blooded murder. I put emphasis on the religion because this is where the violence is emanating from and condoned. This is what I hear and read, not just in western news, but Muslim as well. The piece on the project promoted by the president of iran that there was no holocaust suggests there is quite a propaganda machine in the muslim world. OK, I believe most of you are sincere in your thoughts. Some of your have actually looked beyond your noses to seek the truth (thank you padre), while others have taken whimsical guesses or hearsay and said that cannot be (remember Nazi Germany and world opinion back in the 30'?), anything is possible. Is it all muslims? Of course not, just those with enough intellect to hold sway over the masses to achieve a political/economic goal. Kind of reminds me of the crusades, a true black mark in Christianity. As for myself, I do not wish to opine, other than to say seek the truth and keep your mind open and free from pre- conceived notions. Go to both sides and judge for yourself. As an aside, I am truly saddened that 3 religions built upon the same foundations and sharing the same God, could be so different and irreconcilible. For myself, I follow the teachings of Jesus, not by dictate, but by choice and my temple is in my heart and my head. Try peace for a change.

Resolved Question: What religion prevents women from seeking treatment for breast cancer? And on what grounds?

“One Saudi woman ignored the cancer growing in her breast because she didn't want to risk a referral to a male doctor. Another was divorced by her husband on the mere suspicion she had the disease, while a third was dragged away from a mammogram machine because the technicians were men.” “Breast cancer is the No. 1 killer of women in the United Arab Emirates, according to official statistics, with many dying because the stigma surrounding the disease prevents them from seeking early detection.” http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071024/ap_on_he_me/saudi_breast_cancer Guess what religion it is that scares women into living with (and dying of) cancer because treatment might violate “moral” standards -- that is, necessitate an examination by a male doctor? (Here’s a hint: it’s an Abrahamic religion, but it’s neither Judaism nor Christianity) AngelsAndJinns: that's not culture. How do you explain that the same "culture" can be found in Islamic countries around the world? If you argument is that Islam imports "culture", then you are on the right track (it's not "culture", though, so much as uniform repression); but if you want to argue that problems like these are cultural NOT religious, you need to explain why these elements of "culture" exist throughout the Muslim world (be it in Europe, the middle east, etc.) Finally Mrs.B: Just because it's not the STATE preventing women from seeking treatment, that in no way invalidates the claim that this prevention is religiously motivated; the religious direction simply occurs on an individual or family level, rather than a national level. shab m and CuteMe: The idea that a woman cannot be alone with a man comes directly from Islamic law. The article says many times that one of the chief reasons that these women do not seek treatment is that they fear (or someone else fears) that they will be alone with a male doctor. This is not cultural; it’s Islamic. In how many Islamic countries, after all, is it a crime for unrelated women and men to be alone together? Just recently some Muslim fruitcake divorced his wife because she was “alone” with a man -- that is to say, she watched a television show hosted by a man while alone. In Pakistan, I believe, a young (unrelated) couple recently caused a massive traffic accident to avoid being caught by police after committing the “crime” of being alone together. These things come from Islamic law codes, not culture; that’s why many Muslims across the globe believe (and act) the same.

Dear Son, I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won't be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time. The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn't make the final payment on Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes. About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether if it is a boy or a girl so don't know if you are an Aunt or Uncle. Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other 2 drowned. They couldn't get the tail gate down. Not much more news this time. Nothing much happened. If you don't get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.

In ski season, the overflow spills into the hall, demand so high that prayers are staggered. For now, it's quiet.

Resolved Question: What do you think of this story? What would your response to it be?

This story was made in1977. The Nightmare Life Without Fuel Americans are so used to limitless energy supplies that they can hardly imagine what life might be like when the fuel really starts to run out. So TIME asked Science Writer Isaac Asimov for his vision of an energy-poor society that might exist at the end of the 20th century. The following portrait, Asimov noted, "need not prove to be accurate. It is a picture of the worst, of waste continuing, of oil running out, of nothing in its place, of world population continuing to rise. But then, that could happen, couldn't it?" So it's 1997, and it's raining, and you'll have to walk to work again. The subways are crowded, and any given train breaks down one morning out of five. The buses are gone, and on a day like today the bicycles slosh and slide. Besides, you have only a mile and a half to go, and you have boots, raincoat and rain hat. And it's not a very cold rain, so why not? Lucky you have a job in demolition too. It's steady work. Slow and dirty, but steady. The fading structures of a decaying city are the great mineral mines and hardware shops of the nation. Break them down and re-use the parts. Coal is too difficult to dig up and transport to give us energy in the amounts we need, nuclear fission is judged to be too dangerous, the technical breakthrough toward nuclear fusion that we hoped for never took place, and solar batteries are too expensive to maintain on the earth's surface in sufficient quantity. Anyone older than ten can remember automobiles. They dwindled. At first the price of gasoline climbed—way up. Finally only the well-to-do drove, and that was too clear an indication that they were filthy rich, so any automobile that dared show itself on a city street was overturned and burned. Rationing was introduced to "equalize sacrifice," but every three months the ration was reduced. The cars just vanished and became part of the metal resource. There are many advantages, if you want to look for them. Our 1997 newspapers continually point them out. The air is cleaner and there seem to be fewer colds. Against most predictions, the crime rate has dropped. With the police car too expensive (and too easy a target), policemen are back on their beats. More important, the streets are full. Legs are king in the cities of 1997, and people walk everywhere far into the night. Even the parks are full, and there is mutual protection in crowds. If the weather isn't too cold, people sit out front. If it is hot, the open air is the only air conditioning they get. And at least the street lights still burn. Indoors, electricity is scarce, and few people can afford to keep lights burning after supper. As for the winter—well, it is inconvenient to be cold, with most of what furnace fuel is allowed hoarded for the dawn; but sweaters are popular indoor wear and showers are not an everyday luxury. Lukewarm sponge baths will do, and if the air is not always very fragrant in the human vicinity, the automobile fumes are gone. There is some consolation in the city that it is worse in the suburbs. The suburbs were born with the auto, lived with the auto, and are dying with the auto. One way out for the suburbanites is to form associations that assign turns to the procurement and distribution of food. Pushcarts creak from house to house along the posh suburban roads, and every bad snowstorm is a disaster. It isn't easy to hoard enough food to last till the roads are open. There is not much in the way of refrigeration except for the snowbanks, and then the dogs must be fought off. What energy is left cannot be directed into personal comfort. The nation must survive until new energy sources are found, so it is the railroads and subways that are receiving major attention. The railroads must move the coal that is the immediate hope, and the subways can best move the people. And then, of course, energy must be conserved for agriculture. The great car factories make trucks and farm machinery almost exclusively. We can huddle together when there is a lack of warmth, fan ourselves should there be no cooling breezes, sleep or make love at such times as there is a lack of light—but nothing will for long ameliorate a lack of food. The American population isn't going up much any more, but the food supply must be kept high even though the prices and difficulty of distribution force each American to eat less. Food is needed for export so that we can pay for some trickle of oil and for other resources. The rest of the world, of course, is not as lucky as we are. Some cynics say that it is the knowledge of this that helps keep America from despair. They're starving out there, because earth's population has continued to go up. The population on earth is 5.5 billion, and outside the United States and Europe, not more than one in five has enough to eat at any given time. All the statistics point to a rapidly declining rate of population increase, but that is coming about chiefly through a high infant mortality; the first and most helpless victims of starvation are babies, after their mothers have gone dry. A strong current of American opinion, as reflected in the newspapers (some of which still produce their daily eight pages of bad news), holds that it is just as well. It serves to reduce the population, doesn't it? Others point out that it's more than just starvation. There are those who manage to survive on barely enough to keep the body working, and that proves to be not enough for the brain. It is estimated that there are now nearly 2 billion people in the world who are alive but who are permanently braindamaged by undernutrition, and the number is growing year by year. It has already occurred to some that it would be "realistic" to wipe them out quietly and rid the earth of an encumbering menace. The American newspapers of 1997 do not report that this is actually being done anywhere, but some travelers bring back horror tales. At least the armies are gone—no one can afford to keep those expensive, energy-gobbling monstrosities. Some soldiers in uniform and with rifles are present in almost every still functioning nation, but only the United States and the Soviet Union can maintain a few tanks, planes and ships—which they dare not move for fear of biting into limited fuel reserves. Energy continues to decline, and machines must be replaced by human muscle and beasts of burden. People are working longer hours and there is less leisure; but then, with electric lighting restricted, television for only three hours a night, movies three evenings a week, new books few and printed in small editions, what is there to do with leisure? Work, sleep and eating are the great trinity of 1997, and only the first two are guaranteed. Where will it end? It must end in a return to the days before 1800, to the days before the fossil fuels powered a vast machine industry and technology. It must end in subsistence farming and in a world population reduced by starvation, disease and violence to less than a billion. And what can we do to prevent all this now? Now? Almost nothing. If we had started 20 years ago, that might have been another matter. If we had only started 50 years ago, it would have been easy.

Resolved Question: Are We Winning In Iraq Now?

I haven't heard anymore about suicide bombings or roadside bombs like I used to on the news. Does this mean the insurgents have backed off? Are we going to win? I know the insurgents have lost huge amounts of men fighting the U.S. military. Why anyone would go up against such a lethal killing machine like the marines beats me. And these guys do not have training even closely resembling our forces. I'm thinking they have sufered over 100,000 loss rate. The leadership had to have looked at the numbers they were losing and flinched.

Resolved Question: What will be the Next Phony story libs push?

we have had phony soldiers, phony can grandmothers, phony (and convicted) Poster Mom, phony dead people, phony Kerry stories and phone poor. Now we have phony muggings by the VWRC. Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims she was brutally attacked near her Manhattan apartment are bogus, her lawyer and a police source said today. Fellow host Jon Elliott claimed on the liberal radio network that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the attack, waxed about a possible conspiracy. "Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?" he asked on the air, according to Talking Radio, a blog. "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?" A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan's 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said. Rhodes' lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog. He said she's not sure what happened, and only knows that she fell down and is in a lot of pain. The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a "hate crime." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2007/10/16/2007-10-16_air_america_host_randi_rhodes_wasnt_mugg.html Comments at Think Progress: How much you wanna bet it was an O’Reilly listener(or a deranged idiot-there’s really not much difference..) ... Thom Hartmann found bullet holes in his car recently. We may have another freeper nut on the loose. ... If they think this may stop Randi, they have another thought coming. That lady is tough and she’s gonna be really pissed! I really fear what is going to happen to our country when the Republicans are finally put in their place. I fear we are going to see a lot of violent incidents because these people are going to be looking for a way to vent their frustrations and with encouragement by the likes of Billo, Hannity and Malkin, it could get ugly. ... I suspect that the Thom Hartman and Randi Rhodes incidents are not unrelated. The wackos realize that they are under pressure and are reacting in the only way they know how. Facts and reality are simply things that need to be beaten out of the way. I suspect and hope that she will recover quickly and not be subjected to PTSD. ... Rhodes was probably beaten up by some nutball in the Mallkin Mongoloid Mafia... thats the type of viscous rabid people they are.. ... yep coulter has been pied before.. not sure if it hit.. dont think it did, sadly.. im in full support of drive by “pie-ings”. for what its worth, cupcakes with lots of frosting make better aiming... ... This is what kind of cowards on the right are, mugging a woman, Roger Roger Ron Rory BigIdiot this is your type, this is YOUR SIDE, this is something that YOU WOULD DO AND APPROVE OF. You are scum. My sympathy and hope that you recover Randi and really hope the Police (ha, the probably approve of it) catch this scum and expose the ReighWingers for what they are. your right truth there are suspects. 14 kettle ones. http://gawker.com/news/developing/was-talk-show-host-randi-rhodes-jumped-by-14-ketel-ones-311453.php

Resolved Question: Why is more meth being brought into Minnesota by illegal aliens ?

The dirty, poor and dangerous side of Mexico is something most Minnesotans never see, but what comes from that part of the country is a growing problem in the upper Midwest. Meth and other drugs are being made in Mexico and brought to small towns and the big cities of Minnesota, often by illegal immigrants. "First, it’s clear that the predominant amount of illegal drugs in Minnesota is coming from the southwest border, specifically from Mexico," Gov. Tim Pawlenty said. Four men from Mexico were arrested in an Austin, Minn. drug bust in August. Police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the same scenario is playing out all across Minnesota on a growing basis. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has obtained photos from some of the larger drug busts involving illegal immigrants from Mexico. Investigators found a half of a pound of meth, a Tech-9 machine gun and 50 rounds of ammo in a car driven by illegal immigrants in Pine County. A traffic stop in Freeborn County led to the arrest of an illegal immigrant from Mexico, who was traveling with an assault rifle and ammo. Investigators found cocaine and $115,000 hidden in the gas tank. The list goes on and on… "We are inundated by the Mexican methamphetamine instead of the homegrown meth," said Mower County Sheriff Terese Amazi. She said over the last few years, all of the homegrown meth labs have been eliminated in her county. In one of the county’s larger meth busts, she said the majority of the suspects were here illegally from Mexico. In a routine traffic stop, if a trooper discovers that the person is here illegally, they won’t necessarily detain them. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS showed this ‘Catch and Release’ approach to law enforcement back in May. Unless police have probable cause, they cannot look for drugs in the car or even send a K-9 unit to walk around the vehicle. Police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that policies like these are allowing drugs to make it to Minnesota. "The Minnesota Supreme Court has tied our hands," Amazi said. "Unless we have a reasonable suspicion that drugs are in that car, we cannot run a K-9 by it. It just blows my mind why we can’t do that." Pawlenty concurs. "Illegal immigration is part of that and we need to get tougher on that for sure," he said. "But we also just have to get tougher overall on interdicting these drugs being run by car and truck from Mexico." http://kstp.com/article/stories/S225881.shtml?cat=5

(talk about a news flash) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?) On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.) On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?) If you think this is funny, repost it so someone else can get a laugh

Resolved Question: recalled toys? what do you think?

OK there are SO many toys out there that are being recalled! I just cant believe it! Before we know it our children wont have any toys! Like when mattel had their recall alot of it was Dora! thats a very popular toy, my daughter loves her! and Target just sent out a recall for thomas toys. And Lastnight on the news Starbucks recalled cups that were givin to toddlers. Why don't these companys test these toys out for a long time not just a day or a quick machine test. I think its nuts. What do you think?
