"democracy" my ass, the Iraq invasion was about economic desperation.

Seymour Hersch's last couple of paragraphs (in link above) are especially disturbing.

11. Unfortunately, no...
I read it in a book of Nostradamus predictions. It's a relatively famous one that would probably be in any Nostradamus book. I'll seek it out on the web, tho.

5. The cult is the Dominionists....
....<snip>

Cults, Dominionist, One World Church

"Promise Keepers has now openly claimed to have a mandate from God which requires all churches to place themselves under Promise Keepers' leadership. A mandate from God is not merely a suggestion; it is an order. And to willfully disobey an order from God is rebellion. Consequently, all pastors who do not submit to Promise Keepers' leadership are in open rebellion against God.

"If, on the other hand, Promise Keepers' does not have a mandate from God, then their claim is based either on a delusion or it is a deliberate deception. If it is based on a delusion, Promise Keepers has proven itself unworthy to lead the churches since its leadership cannot distinguish between the voice of God, a mental image of human origin, or mental image of demonic origin.

It doesn't matter how much "good" they may lay claim to;

they are attempting to establish themselves as authorities over God's Church without God's permission. Click For More

The Despoiling of America

How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State

By Katherine Yurica, with Editorial and Research Assistant Laurie Hall

February 11, 2004

It happened quietly, with barely a mention in the media. Only the Washington Post dutifully reported it.<1> And only Kevin Phillips saw its significance in his new book, American Dynasty.<2> On December 24, 2001, Pat Robertson resigned his position as President of the Christian Coalition.Behind the scenes religious conservatives were abuzz with excitement. They believed Robertson had stepped down to allow the ascendance of the President of the United States of America to take his rightful place as the head of the true American Holy Christian Church.

Robertson’s act was symbolic, but it carried a secret and solemn revelation to the faithful. It was the signal that the Bush administration was a government under God that was led by an anointed President who would be the first regent in a dynasty of regents awaiting the return of Jesus to earth. The President would now be the minister through whom God would execute His will in the nation. George W. Bush accepted his scepter and his sword with humility, grace and a sense of exultation.

As Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court explained a few months later, the Bible teaches and Christians believe “… that government …derives its moral authority from God. Government is the ‘minister of God’ with powers to ‘revenge,’ to ‘execute wrath,’ including even wrath by the sword…”<3>

George W. Bush began to wield the sword of God’s revenge with relish from the beginning of his administration, but most of us missed the sword play. I have taken the liberty to paraphrase an illustration from Leo Strauss, the father of the neo-conservative movement, which gives us a clue of how the hiding is done:

I am not kidding. When Bush is done, the Dollar will not even be worth using as toilet paper.
