George W. Bush: Babylonian

As I have written before regarding Babylon the Great anyone supporting such a scheme must be considered a "Babylonian". This is a person in government who rejects "nationalism" and really cannot be considered an "American" since they sincerely cannot defend the U.S. Constitution because of their deference to all things globalist. They will often defend their rationale by calling others "natavist" or "Nazi" or some other epithet for challenging their fundamental belief in global governance and commerce.

First and foremost, President George W. Bush has never claimed to be a "conservative" but in fact and action has always been leftwing in his outlook on Federal spending as well as embracing Wilsonian precepts of international involvement in the spirit of the League of Nations when it comes to foreign affairs. He came to power primarily because the leftwing of the Democrat Party abandoned their own party to the Republican base and because Vice President Al Gore completely fumbled the ball by embracing a corrupt state Supreme Court dominated by Democrats to try to overturn an election in his favor when then candidate George Bush relied on the Federal Supreme Court to cement his victory in 2000. Rock, Paper or Scissors - apparently that dumb old George Bush outsmarted the "brilliant" Al Gore by relying on a federal court instead of a state court to validate his victory.

So, since then, President George W. Bush has steadfastly adhered to expanding the Federal government and embracing commercial Babylon at every step. Even when the War On Terror was initiated after that infamous attack on 9/11, he has embraced "coalitions" and the "United Nations" to propel American Foreign Policy forward in the 21st Century contrary to most leftwing pundits who think he is acting "unilaterally". If you have felt frustrated as I have with the pace of the "War On Terror" by the President's actions I don't blame you. He has moved against our enemies in fine Babylonian fashion by embracing a politically correct vision of the world where Islam is treated equally as Christianity and the careful and plodding military operations in the Middle East are carefully choreographed not to upset the markets on Wall Street. The Republican controlled Congress could have and would have given President Bush an actual Declaration of War if he had petitioned them for it right after 9/11 but alas, he was silent on enforcing the provisions of war as outlined in the US Constitution as surely this would have emboldened "nationalism" too much. Of course, Congress failed too by not demanding a Declaration of War instead of an ambiguous "authorization" to use force to deal with our Islamic enemies.

And now we have "Immigration Reform" that Babylonians of all stripes are so eager to impose upon the American people as the latest outrage. If you are a "Commerical" Babylonian then the addition of 12 million new slaves doing the "jobs Americans won't do" appeals to you. If you are a "Political" Babylonian then the addition of 12 million new voters from Mexico, Guatemala, South America and wherever else them come from will appeal to you. Naturally, the Catholic Church has interfered by offering their churches as "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens and thus "Religious" Babylon is propelled forward at the expense of the true Church as expressed in the Protestant Reformation which for all practical purposes has now ended. In other words, what made this country what it was, Anglo-Saxon constitutional principles, commerce with borders, and a Protestant Christian orientation, has all been subsumed to Babylon the Great.

Is it all George W. Bush's fault? No, of course not. He is but one in a long line of political elites who have embraced a "greater good" of an internationalism that ultimately will lead to dictatorship and loss of sovereignty with no means of ever retrieving it with the possible exception of a slide to civil war which is in no ones interest. If it comes to this then there are no guarantees what will be left afterward will be recognizable as the grand Republic that we have all been blessed to being a part of and have been accustomed to for so long. Although, it could be argued the Republic is no longer what it used to be anyway.

Hail and Fire Again

I've written before about the Bible's prediction that the earth will shudder under extraterrestrial attack from asteroids and comets sometime in the future. Well, a very interesting article from the BBC should at least give you a broader appreciation of what lies ahead.

From the BBC:

A controversial new idea suggests that a large space rock exploded over North America 13,000 years ago.

The blast may have wiped out one of America's first Stone Age cultures as well as the continent's big mammals such as the mammoth and the mastodon.

Isn't it amazing that this event took place in the North American Continent and has the potentional of occuring again? When I think of the comet Shomaker-Levy 9 that struck Jupiter a couple of years ago I had a strange sensation that the strike appeared like clockwork. In other words, every now and then (in terms of thousands of years) a string of asteroids makes a b-line towards a planet with deadly precision.

The article continues:

The blast, from a comet or asteroid, caused a major bout of climatic cooling which may also have affected human cultures emerging in Europe and Asia.

I also believe I may be the first person who has suggested that the asteroid and comet hits in the Book of Revelation will afflict the Western Hemisphere and its subsequent devastation is directly felt in Europe and Asia. The BBC article wonderfully catalogues this intriguing and genuine danger and shows that the Bible once again has proven uncanny in its predictive abilities.

The evidence comes from layers of sediment at more than 20 sites across North America.

These sediments contain exotic materials: tiny spheres of glass and carbon, ultra-small specks of diamond - called nanodiamond - and amounts of the rare element iridium that are too high to have come from Earth.

All, they argue, point to the explosion 12,900 years ago of an extraterrestrial object up to 5km across.

No crater remains, possibly because the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which blanketed thousands of sq km of North America during the last Ice Age, was thick enough to mask the impact.

Another possibility is that it exploded in the air.

I honestly believe that if it happened in the past then it certainly can happen in the future once more. Halley's Comet always returns every 76 years as well as other celestial objects that seem to work like precision time pieces. Read the entire article yourself and decide if indeed this idea of extraterrestial "visitations" is warranted.

Post Surge-ry Review

After the 2006 mid-term election that saw Republican's routed from power both in the House and Senate, the Bush administration went about asking what more could be done with Iraq as this was considered the main reason for such bruising losses at the polls. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was summarily sacrificed to appease the new "reality" and Robert Gates was installed as the new architect to bring victory to President Bush. A "bipartisan" commission, the Iraq Study Group, was selected and they reviewed "all" of the options left to the Bush Administration to deal with the alleged civil war ensuing in Iraq and its concomitant problems associated with the occupation of Iraq by the United States Military as a result of the War On Terror.

After much debate from the ISG (Iraq Study Group) and the apparent rejection of its conclusions by the President, after all is said and done, the proposals have been followed almost to perfection by this administration. In fairness, the President says that most of the proposals have already been implemented before the study group was formed. The main outline of their solution to the Iraq problem were as follows:

a) Setting timetables to withdraw from Iraq.
b) Negotiating with both Syria and Iran to resolve the Iraqi Crisis.
c) Linking the Palestinian-Israeli issue to the War On Terror.

All of these proposals have been followed albeit in rough form at some point since then. Although timetables have not been written in stone and the President recently vetoed legislation demanding a ridiculous withdrawal in 6 months by Democrat legislators and a few ragtag Republicans, there has been highlevel discussions with Maliki, the Iraqi President, that time is short and the time for action in getting his government in order is now. Whether Mailiki can pull his chestnuts out of the fire is still up in the air. Negotiations with Iran and Syria appears to be the modus operandi for the next 2 years as there is no troop movements to suggest an American military response in the form of offensive army and marine corps operations such as was seen at the beginning of the War On Terror. There is saber-rattling of sorts but the most we may expect is another missile barrage against Iran to knock down their nuclear capabilities should the administration feel that diplomacy has failed to deter the Iranian Mullahs from playing with nuclear fire. In regards to Israel, we have seen the heavy-hand of the Bush Administration restraining the Jewish War Machine from exacting its deathblow upon Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon for fear of a regional backlash against the United States especially in Iraq. Secretary of State Condelleza Rice has conducted highlevel discussions recently with the Saudi's to "resolve" the Palestinian-Israeli dispute but like everything else in this side of the world, it is still being discussed and essentially is a "work in progress".

Essentially, the biggest difference seen since the mid-term election of '06 is the large troop increase slated for Baghdad in response to the daily carnage of suicide bombings and car bombs visited upon this ancient city. The so called "Surge" was meant to suppress the terrorist attacks against the Shia and coalition troops and initially appeared to work. Surprisingly, the American presence in Baghdad has been a light "foot print" considering the number of troops used to invade the country. The surge was supposed to double the size of this footprint and indeed has succeeded in doing this. However, the bombing campaign by terrorist forces have continued unabated and the purpose of the surge itself appears to have run out of gas.

Let me begin by saying that I always felt the surge itself would not work primarily as the enemy was forming and entering Iraq from both Iran and Syria and the only way to truly end the terrorist campaign is to destroy the states sponsoring these asymmetric forces. Clearly, both Syria and Iran are complicit in the sniper and IED attacks our troops have endured in the occupation and pacification of this wild land. The only solution that will solve the Iraqi problem and ultimately bring a conclusion to the War On Terror in our favor is a Declaration of War by the US Congress against our erstwhile enemies. An actual declaration will show that we are indeed very serious and we will go ALL THE WAY to prosecute our campaign of liberty. Anything else will be viewed by our enemies as half measures and they are right to recognize the failure of the Representatives of the people to support the War On Terror by their rather self indulgent actions that serve no purpose other than domestic politics.

Since the Left has compared the occupation of Iraq to the Vietnam War from the beginning then surely they must recognize the timeless lesson that most of us have learned from that wretched time: playing defense always loses wars. Yet, the Left refuses to acquiesce to the truth of history. I do question their patriotism as they are always demanding retreat in the face of adversity at the expense of the American modus vivendi. After 9/11, adversity made its ugly face known with the destruction of the World Trade Center Complex in the heart of Blue State New York and yet they could scarcely lift a finger to defend our nation.

The Left now controls the steering wheel of this great vessel and where they take us will be upon their shoulders and ultimately the blood of innocents left to the whims and desires of bloodthirsty tyrants is upon their hands. Of course, they are used to retreating before our enemies as they had before the communists throughout the entire world in the 20th Century. Only Republican administrations "contained" communism, however, this containment still left millions murdered where communists did prevail. The dreary and drab life that so charactorized the citizens of communism now has been replaced by the Moslem as their reactionary ideology has taken its movement to a higher more "spiritual" level with the advent of the International Islamic Jihad.

The tyranny of free peoples continues and the Left finds its only solution to "war" is retreating before our enemies. President Bush can only do so much with the Congress that he has and therefore the Surge will fail. No American General can arrest this fall as only an offensive operation can save this city from ruin. Osama bin Laden has won and the Democrat controlled Congress cooperated with him to bring it about. A pox upon the Left and their Democrat Party for sacrificing American ideals upon the alter of cowardice.

Apocalypic Visions - Part III

In The Beginning

As an Ambassador in Christ and citizen of Heaven it gives me the greatest pleasure to inform you that in the end the government of my Lord and Master will prevail against the greatest antagonist known to both man and angel, the revolutionary and outlaw, Satan the Devil. Unlike the Hollywood depictions of "the Devil", Lucifer as he was originally known before his heavenly coup, remains an angel of light and still retains all the glory of his person in that form. He was able to convince a third of the angelic civilization to join his rebellion against the third person of the Trinity, the one who is the express image of God, Jesus Christ. The only person of the Trinity that can be seen and subsequently is the "face" of God as far as intelligent life is concerned.

We are told that Lucifer held a position in Heaven and the government of my Lord similar to that of House Speaker in the United States House of Representatives and being very close to all the vestiges and accoutrement's of power was seduced by the glory and majesty of the Realm of Christ. In Lucifer's vanity and arrogance, by the light of his own genius and personage led a revolution to unseat my Lord and install himself as the Ruler of all Angels. Naturally, all revolutions are violent and thus a civil war ensued in Heaven and throughout the universe by those angels who sided with Christ and those angels who sided with Lucifer. Sometime during this conflict my Lord established three initiatives by executive order to bring an end to the Angelic Conflict.

First, He demanded a new oath of loyalty throughout the angelic civilization and those angels that swore their fealty to him would be known as "elect angels". Second, a new penal colony was established to house the seditious angels allied with Satan once they were defeated, which has not yet occurred, and incarcerated in a location simply known by its most famous geologic moniker as the "Lake of Fire". Third, My Lord created a new species of intelligent life that would exhibit all the same attributes of free will and dare I say, objective reasoning as God and the angels. This new species was created in a vacuum to prevent a prejudicial outcome in favor of either my Lord or Satan himself. A completely neutral ground upon which either side will make his case before the angels, fallen and elect. As a result, the Angelic Conflict has expanded downward straight from the throne room of God to the dust of the earth with Satan as prosecutor and Christ as advocate. Thus, earth was restored to its pristine environment and mankind, both man and woman, created out of necessity by God and placed in its domicile would decide by humanity's actions or inactions the fate of angels.

With the creation of man we have the beginning of human history and its fallout as described in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. As I wrote before regarding the second advent of Christ there are numerous players in the future that will enter the stage of man directly to influence and change events to their advantage. These players include God himself, angels, man and angelic created creatures that will all collide at one point in the future to prevent Christ from solidifying his victory on the earth and throughout the universe. They will not succeed despite the carnage they inflict upon mankind and the earth itself.

Aftermath

Just as we see in human history, defeated armies leave behind their implements of war as well as their dead and this last world war will be no different. The destroyed and broken human armies surrounding Israel as well as the destroyed Scorpion and Dragon armies that will litter the battlefields of the Eurasian-African continent will fill the air with the stench and detritus of ancient creatures and past civilizations whose abode was in the earth.

Operation Banquet Garden

The complete destruction of Satan's human and demon armies becomes the carrion for the scavengers of the air:

17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great." Rev 19:17-18

I highlight this certain passage to draw your attention to it as I believe this relates to the troops of Satan's Operation Scorpio as well as to the "horses and their riders" of Satan's Operation Draco. When we consider that when certain fallen angels had carnal relations with mankind before the flood of Noah's time the offspring of this unholy union were known as Nephilim and they were called "heroes of old, mighty men of renown". The similarities should not be so hastily dismissed as the Scorpion troops will no doubt be "mighty men" when compared to your average human. Nevertheless, the corpses of Satan's armies will be devoured by earth's carrion eaters after this great war has concluded.

17 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan. 19 At the sacrifice I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,' declares the Sovereign LORD. Ezek 39: 17-20

As highlighted above we have a delineation between both human and angelic created creatures that will both be utilized by Satan to defeat Christ and his cavalry forces of Operation Pegasus at the Second Advent. However, Satan's plans fall apart and his once great armies will be outflanked and struck down on the battlefields of earth by the Resurrected Church. Its quite possible the battles will be decided in the air when the two opposing forces engage in mortal combat on and above the ground. Certainly the demonic forces of Operation Scorpio will meet us in open air combat as John records in Revelation that they can fly but possibly even the demonic forces of Operation Draco may also confront the Great White Calvary in the air if they are able to fly as well. I suspect both planes of the air and ground will be utilized for full effect in defeating this great inhuman enemy.

Blast Furnaces and Boneyards

After Christ personally saves Israel from destruction by the earthly armies of anti-Christ (Satan indwelled human) at Armageddon they too will litter the battleground in and around Israel. The heavily mechanized forces as deployed by mankind (King of the North and his allies plus the King of the West and Kings of the East) will naturally not be consumed by carrion eaters although the bodies of dead soldiers will be, but the human machines of war will be collected and dumped by Israel in vast junk yards for recycling. This is in contrast to the Scorpion and Dragon troops deployed elsewhere in which their corpses will be consumed by the buzzards and vultures and other scavenging animals in the Eurasian-African continent in a thanksgiving-day orgy of blood and flesh.

9 " 'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign LORD.

11 " 'On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east toward [b] the Sea. [c] It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog. [d]

12 " 'For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I am glorified will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign LORD.

14 " 'Men will be regularly employed to cleanse the land. Some will go throughout the land and, in addition to them, others will bury those that remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search. 15 As they go through the land and one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 (Also a town called Hamonah [e] will be there.) And so they will cleanse the land.' Ezek 39: 9-16

Thus Satan's human armies having been smashed and their tools of war scattered about along with their corpses that lay slain in the open will force Israelis to clean up and tow away the mass carnage left behind in order to clear the land for reconstruction. Human weapons are smelted down and used as a primary source of fuel for cooking and heating and other basic necessities with enough fodder to last as long as seven years. The time it takes to bury the dead will last seven months. After this, on occasion, human remains will be located and marked for identification to be buried later. A mass grave will be dug and so large it will be that it will alter the landscape for future generations to see. In fact, a town by the name of Hamonah will be made famous by this mass grave.

25 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now bring Jacob back from captivity [f] and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name. 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind. 29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD." Ezek 39: 25-29

Rules of Engagement

You will note that all professional armies operate by "rules of engagement". Even Satan's armies have their limitations imposed upon them by God as the more advanced and powerful shock troops of Operation Scorpio and Draco are not allowed to attack Israel. Hence, Satan must rely upon his human armies to dispense with this tiny nation once and for all. Even when the "Angel of the Abyss" who is the commander of Operation Scorpio engages with the two Jewish witnesses of Revelation, the angel violates the rules of engagement by killing them in a direct contest between angel and man. God overrules this breach of conduct by allowing the two witnesses to be resurrected three and half days later and bodily depart the earth in a sonic boom and vapor cloud much to the astonished and frightened crowds in their wake.

The Abyss

With the Second Advent of Christ completed and Satan's human and angelic armies defeated in the heavens and on Earth the only thing left to do is to place his diabolical majesty under arrest.

1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. Rev 20: 1-3

You will note that it is an elect angel that places Satan under arrest and not an elect human. The long and personal conflict between the Angels that began so many millenia ago that divided a civilization of light against each other comes down to an angel incarcerating an angel. Adding a bit of irony here God allows this angel to place Satan in the same rat hole from whence his Scorpion and Dragon armies had bivouaced for thousands of years before they were released by Satan for the grand finale. The Abyss is resealed and locked again with the same key utilized by Satan himself to open the door to this underground vault found in Revelation 9 and his millenia long incarceration gives this evil genius time to "mull it over" and to contemplate what he has wrought. After the thousand years are complete the door to the Abyss will be unlocked and Satan will be paroled and the rest will be history.
