The Chinese did some serious ass-kicking maneuvering to highlight what they think of little dictator-toto. :D

over the world who saw it. Just because our press cowers to King Bush doesn't mean they have too. The story would have leaked and then he'd just look like a bigger idiot than he already is. Besides, Rove loves these sort of stories, it makes the President look like a human.

50. The Chinese picked the room(with the giant doorhandles)
and the props and set up the entrance/exit.
They knew what they were doing to make bush physically appear the very small man he is mentally.

52. You think? That seems rather a childish way to make an opponent look...
small. Especially when he does a good enough job all by himself. I highly doubt there was a sinister plot by the Chinese to embarass GWB.

Maybe if the President cranked out "Night on Bald Mountain" on a hurdy-gurdy.... then I suppose I'd have a small amount of symphony for him.

11. what is not very well known about this picture
is that bush had just peered through the door and seen Gannon cheating on him with five Chinese ninjas. He slammed the door shut in a fit of pique and this is the ensuing photographic memory.

56. Why does he cast two shadows? Is one of them cast by the AntiChrist
inside of him?

The Bible shows 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, but he thought in Hebrew. He knew that every Hebrew letter has a numeric equivalent, and that's undoubtedly 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.


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 would 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 the letters of the English alphabet don't automatically have a numeric value. But the way numerologists convert the 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.

Now if you add up the numbers of his full name using this system, 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 related to the Hebrew Kabbala:
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 still 6..

But hold on, because we’re not through 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 a character such as ‘B’ or else an action of some sort. If you add up Bush's name in ASCII, 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 adds up to a total of 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 is also equal to 666 if we use the two most commonly used systems in numerology as well as in ASCII code.

(George Bush has another name that is often used to identify him politically. He’s 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 the 'Herbert' out 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 we are far from finished.

Revelation says the number of the beast (the Antichrist) is 666 – it does not say this is only the number of his name, though that could be part of it. 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. Many numerologists find the fate, destiny or ‘lucky’ number by simply taking the day of the month of your birth (and reducing if necessary) – since Bush’s birth day is the 6th of July – no reduction is necessary.
But just to make sure, the other way of finding the fate number is by adding the individual 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, positively certain that we’re dealing with the Antichrist, consider that most important identifiers of a man, also indicating his good luck or fate, can be found in the most important dates in his life – like the day of his marriage or the dates of his children’s birth, for instance. However, since it is the Antichrist we are talking about, the most important dates in the Antichrist’s life will be those dates on which he acquires world power. The dates on which the Antichrist gains world power will also be available to people everywhere, so that anyone can check to see if that particular date has any connections to the Antichrist.

The antichrist's first step in his goal of attaining complete world domination for Satan, 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. He was first inaugurated as Governor of Texas on January 17, 1995. = 1+1+7+1+9+9+5 = 33 = 3+3 = 6.

Then after losing the popular vote on November 7, 2000, the Antichrist took his next giant leap towards ruling the earth when he was nevertheless 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, absolutely 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.

So 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 other outcomes by themselves is 1 in 9. By using the law of cumulative probability, we can figure the chance of all these things happening together to be conservatively estimated at 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, it would be fair to say that we would have to see another 43,046,721,000 most-powerful world leaders like Bush come and go before we would have an even chance of seeing another world-leader who was as strongly associated with the number 666. If all these most powerful world leaders only lasted an average of 4 years, and they followed one right after another - as with a single presidential term - it would take over 172 billion years before we'd have an even chance of seeing another world leader who was as strongly associated with the number 666. But according to the latest estimates, our sun will burn out in another 4-5 billion years. Therefore, it's extremely unlikely that any other world leader will ever again be as strongly associated with the number 666 as George 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. This 1,000 years is the millennium of peace, which will come after Christ defeats the Antichrist (the right side up 666) and rules the world for 1,000 years. After the 1,000 year millennium, according to the Bible Satan will once again be released from hell (the upside down 666 = coming up from hell) but 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 who did and he is the only world leader in history who is so intimately connected to what must be the most inauspicious day in world history. There will be no excuse for those who failed to break the 666 code, because what I have done would have taken a more intelligent person about 15 minutes to do.

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 the way our sins fall short of the mark. Mankind was created on the sixth day, and it was mankind that brought sin into the world through the fall of Adam and Eve. So the association of the number six with evil, as expressed at the end of the Bible in the book of Revelation, actually 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 all this confusing symbolism? What do the horns represent, what do the heads represent, what to the crowns represent, and what does the body represent? It's really not that difficult to figure out, now that we know who the Antichrist is.

This beast is the image of a world 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 are representative of a multi-national, multi-racial and multi-cultural 'melting pot'.. This was once the case with Rome, and it 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 a symbol of Russia, and the bear-like feet of the beast is symbolic of the fact that 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 a reference to the fact that the New World 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 widely assumed that the only thing west of Europe and east of the orient was a lot of water and the end of the world. So the United States, as part of the 'New World', seemed from the perspective of the Biblical or ‘Old World’, to come up and literally rise out of the sea.

Daniel says this beast is different from all 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 until now), but it maintains military bases around the world, and its ships and planes and missiles are able to reach clear around the world, and this is what makes the United States an Imperial super-power.

It’s obvious that the horns represent the powerful men who have come to successively rule over this American empire. Daniel even says so 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 Jr. It says this “little horn” is unlike any of the other ten presidents, and this is an obvious reference to the fact that Bush has no popular mandate, that he lost the popular vote, and was appointed to the office by five un-elected judges on the Supreme Court. This has never happened before in American history, and that’s what makes him so different from all his presidential predecessors – that and his arrogance, dishonesty and lust for world power.

It also says that “three of the first horns were uprooted before it.” Bush is a far-right Republican, and this is a reference to the fact that by the time Bush Jr came to office, fascist conspiracies had already uprooted and destroyed the presidencies of three previous key Democratic presidents, in this way 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, who was part of the Clinton/Gore presidency.) In all three of these right-wing conspiracies, there was direct involvement by the Bush family.

Crowns are always associated with kingdoms, and the ten crowns on the ten horns are representative of ten kingdoms or imperial powers whose power was eventually assumed by this beast, which we now know 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 true, ultimate and final heir to the Roman Empire, has either beaten these weaker empires outright in war, or simply assumed the power and sphere of influence they once commanded in the world. These empires are/were the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch, Austro-Hungarian, Byzantine/Ottoman, German /Holy Roman, Russian, Italian and French. The American beast, a descendent and former colony of these European Imperial powers, now proudly wears their crowns like scalps or trophies on his horns. This is symbolic of all the US presidents who have wielded this world-wide imperial power since WWII, when the power of European imperialism was broken..

Finally, what about those seven heads? Just as the ten crowns represent the power held by ten empires that once 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. Of course, this doesn’t include the Chinese, Inca, Mayan etc, because they were either unknown or too far removed from the Biblical world, which includes the Mediterranean world of the Middle East and Europe. This 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 to life on its heels. In that sense, at least from the perspective of the Biblical world, there was one continuous world empire that never really seemed to die until Rome was defeated by the Christian church. This is the 'Whore Babylon' of prophecy - a premier line of world-class empires that 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 says of these seven heads, that as of the time of the writing of Revelation (95 AD), that (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 completely dominate and remake the middle east by force, it was a clear signal that the last World Empire, the Antichrist and the final days had arrived.

Many people have said 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”. Yet when pressed to back up their ignorant claim, they become very confused and fall flat on their face. Very obviously, and whether we like it or not, the Biblical evidence overwhelmingly proves that the Antichrist could only come from the United States of America, and it is none other than George Walker BushJr = 666.

57. Satan or Adolf Hitler? One and the same?
I wouldn't question either one. They both fit.
