Integrity

The current American president received a lot of votes from the Christian right, but when comparing his deeds to his confession of faith I cannot help but wonder how deep rooted and sincere his faith is. Surely Jesus’ words when He told us that a good tree cannot bring forth bad fruits and vice versa still ring true? What then are the fruits that President Bush has brought forth?

Following 9/11 he introduced the concept of a ‘War on Terrorism’, an abstract concept subject to many different interpretations and thereby carrying dangerous implications. It is also a concept that can be carried on forever.

The danger of concepts like the ‘War on Terrorism’ of the USA & co and ‘Humanitarian Wars’ under the umbrella of the UN is that the interpretation of these concepts lends itself very well for manipulation so that these ‘wars’ can actually become vehicles for establishing world control and ideological colonialism, subjugating whole countries to the iron rule of the prevailing dogma of the ruling elite.

This War on Terrorism has thus far brought forth the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Especially the war in Iraq has turned into a sour never ending story, and a full blown civil war with the USA caught in the middle is not an unlikely scenario.

Bush’s concept of bringing democracy to the Middle East is very naïve (to put it mildly), because a democracy is of such a fragile nature that it can exist only in the hands of mature people eagerly willing to live by the principles of this concept. As is clearly visible in the Middle East, democracy and Islam do not go hand in hand, and when one brings to mind that the Middle East is dominated by various fanatical Muslim cults, an evangelizing effort like ‘bringing democracy to Iraq’ seems to be doomed to fail from the very beginning.

Yet looking at the Middle East, is complete withdrawal an option then? Would it be wise at this point in time to give free reign to the geographical area in the world which produces the richest harvest of terrorists seeking to destroy our societies, now having the ability to produce nuclear weapons of mass destruction? In my view -whether we like it or not-, we are drawn in to a pending war with Islam, hook, line and sinker. Any road leading to peace is sealed off and we better be prepared for a war that will have far reaching consequences. The only option that I see that we might stave off a war with Islam is to submit to Islam and implement the Islamic shariah in our societies. But such an cowardly course of action equals spitting on the graves of the brave men and women who gave their life in WWII in the battle against the Nazi tyranny.

Then there is Bush’s roadmap for Israel, which consists of establishing a two-state solution to the ‘Palestinian’ problem, the age-old ‘land-for-peace effort’ which has always failed to deliver the peace so much hoped for. Land was never the issue with the Islamic Palestinian aggressors; it’s all about the existence of Israel, an ideological war. The Koran likens the Jews to apes and pigs and calls for their destruction, yet it is this aspect of Islam which still is silenced to death by politically correct politicians. Islamic eschatology describes the end of days as the day where the Muslims will slay every Jew on earth with the sword before the era of Islamic peace under Allah can commence.
Didn’t Bush proclaim to the world that Islam is a religion of peace at one time, and yet spoke of Islamo-fascists another time? Didn’t he proclaim his belief that Allah is the same god as YHWH?

And how about the Skull&Bones chapter of his life, a club employing Satanic rituals, and Bush repeatedly giving the ‘horns’ sign to this very day?

Surely Bush’s professed Christian faith is visible in his care for his own country, and being such a proponent of democratic principles surely he will make sure these principles are honoured in his own country?
Yet we see George Bush setting up the legal framework to facilitate a dictatorship in the case of an emergency, we see him legalizing millions of aliens in his country, opening up the borders to a huge crowd of immigrants and labelling them as the new Americans, we hear of secret talks about a North American Union thereby selling out American autonomy in favour of a power block, a cog in the machinery for a possible world government.
Again, we see two faces of George Bush, and when we look at the fruit Bush is bringing forth there is a clear dichotomy between his words and his deeds.
Here Bush is following in the steps of the political leaders of European countries when they legalized millions of immigrants of the Islamic faith and baptized them as the new French, the new Germans, the new Dutch, etc. We have reaped the fruits and we are still reaping the fruits of this insanity: destabilized societies where national/geographic identity has deflated and where people, estranged from their own country and politicians, increasingly identify themselves with their cultural ethnic identity, a situation where the tensions between the cultural/ethnic groups are escalating to the point where they bring forth a cry for more government intervention in order to preserve peace and safety.
To me this reeks of social engineering to facilitate a hidden agenda.

I know the Left is eager to depict Bush as a devil worse than Ahmadinejad, and they do not hesitate to evangelize this view at every occasion. Although I can understand the urge to elevate Bush to sainthood in reaction to this spiteful Left wing insanity, the truth is that there is sufficient reason to say that Bush is not all that he purports to be. Whether this is due to deliberate wickedness, or simply lack of vision and character on the part of Bush whereby he becomes an extension of the vision and ideas of the advisors surrounding him, God only knows.

More and more the adage is repeated that ‘in order to preserve our safety and our peace, our Western way of life, we must be willing to sacrifice our freedom and autonomy and put them in the hands of our government’.
We are told that to fight the War on Terror effectively governments (and the UN) need to be able to control information (sacrificing personal privacy for the greater good) and control the flow of money together with the ability to intercede in money transactions (effectively this means control of means and information).
In other words, to preserve our way of living including our freedom we need to surrender our freedom and privacy to the totalitarian control of our governments. I ask you: what sort of twisted logic is that?

The more I look at what is happening right now, the more I see how the basic tools for establishing a totalitarian world government are put in position, waiting for the right moment, the right cataclysmic series of events, to be implemented. And the ordinary man in the street is (like always) the equivalent of the ham between two sandwiches, ready to be devoured into the belly of the power-hungry beast.

Father of WWIII

In case you might be tempted to regard Bush as the most likely candidate to start WWIII you must have forgotten about good ol' Jimmy Carter, an incarnated disaster; read this article written by Michael D. Evans, to be found at Jerusalem Post.

"Father of the Iranian revolution"

By MICHAEL D. EVANS

We just don't get it. The Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called "dim-witted cowboy," has created the entire mess.

The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the ayatollah Khomeini.

Carter viewed Khomeini as more of a religious holy man in a grassroots revolution than a founding father of modern terrorism. Carter's ambassador to the UN, Andrew Young, said "Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint." Carter's Iranian ambassador, William Sullivan, said, "Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure." Carter adviser James Bill proclaimed in a Newsweek interview on February 12, 1979 that Khomeini was not a mad mujahid, but a man of "impeccable integrity and honesty."

The shah was terrified of Carter. He told his personal confidant, "Who knows what sort of calamity he [Carter] may unleash on the world?"

Let's look at the results of Carter's misguided liberal policies: the Islamic Revolution in Iran; the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (Carter's response was to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics); the birth of Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization; the Iran-Iraq War, which cost the lives of millions dead and wounded; and yes, the present war on terrorism and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

WHEN CARTER entered the political fray in 1976, America was still riding the liberal wave of anti-Vietnam War emotion. Carter asked for an in-depth report on Iran even before he assumed the reins of government and was persuaded that the shah was not fit to rule Iran. 1976 was a banner year for pacifism: Carter was elected president, Bill Clinton became attorney-general of Arkansas, and Albert Gore won a place in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

In his anti-war pacifism, Carter never got it that Khomeini, a cleric exiled to Najaf in Iraq from 1965-1978, was preparing Iran for revolution. Proclaiming "the West killed God and wants us to bury him," Khomeini's weapon of choice was not the sword but the media. Using tape cassettes smuggled by Iranian pilgrims returning from the holy city of Najaf, he fueled disdain for what he called gharbzadegi ("the plague of Western culture").

Carter pressured the shah to make what he termed human rights concessions by releasing political prisoners and relaxing press censorship. Khomeini could never have succeeded without Carter. The Islamic Revolution would have been stillborn.

Gen. Robert Huyser, Carter's military liaison to Iran, once told me in tears: "The president could have publicly condemned Khomeini and even kidnapped him and then bartered for an exchange with the [American Embassy] hostages, but the president was indignant. 'One cannot do that to a holy man,' he said."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has donned the mantle of Ayatollah Khomeini, taken up bin Laden's call, and is fostering an Islamic apocalyptic revolution in Iraq with the intent of taking over the Middle East and the world.

Jimmy Carter became the poster boy for the ideological revolution of the 1960s in the West, hell bent on killing the soul of America. The bottom line: Carter believed then and still does now is that evil really does not exist; people are basically good; America should embrace the perpetrators and castigate the victims.

IN THE '60S it was mass rebellion after the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. When humanity confronts eternity, the response is always rebellion or repentance. The same ideologues who fought to destroy the soul of America with the "God is dead" movement in the 1960s are now running the arts, the universities, the media, the State Department, Congress, and Senate, determined more then ever to kill the soul of America while the East attempts to kill the body. Carter's world view defines the core ideology of the Democratic Party.

What is going on in Iraq is no mystery to those of us who have had our fingers on the pulse of both Iran and Iraq for decades. The Iran-Iraq war was a war of ideologies. Saddam Hussein saw himself as an Arab leader who would defeat the non-Arab Persians. Khomeini saw it as an opportunity to export his Islamic Revolution across the borders to the Shi'ites in Iraq and then beyond to the Arab countries.

Throughout the war both leaders did everything possible to incite the inhabitants of each country to rebel - precisely what Iran is doing in Iraq today. Khomeini encouraged the Shi'ites across the border to remove Saddam from power and establish an Islamic republic like in Iran.

Carter's belief that every crisis can be resolved with diplomacy - and nothing but diplomacy - now permeates the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, Carter is wrong.

There are times when evil must be openly confronted and defeated.

KHOMEINI HAD the help of the PLO in Iran. They supplied weapons and terrorists to murder Iranians and incite mobs in the streets. No wonder Yasser Arafat was hailed as a friend of Khomeini after he seized control of Iran and was given the Israeli Embassy in Teheran with the PLO flag flying overhead.

The Carter administration scrambled to assure the new regime that the United States would maintain diplomatic ties with Iran. But on April 1, 1979 the greatest April Fools' joke of all time was played, as Khomeini proclaimed it the first day of the government of God.

In February 1979 Khomeini had boarded an Air France flight to return to Teheran with the blessing of Jimmy Carter. The moment he arrived, he proclaimed: "I will kick his teeth in" - referring to then prime minister Shapour Bakhtiar, who was left in power with a US pledge of support. He was assassinated in Paris by Iranian agents in 1991.

I sat in the home of Gen. Huyser, who told me the shah feared he would lose the country if he implemented Carter's polices. Carter had no desire to see the shah remain in power. He really believed that a cleric - whose Islamist fanaticism he did not understand in the least - would be better for human rights and Iran.

He could have changed history by condemning Khomeini and getting the support of our allies to keep him out of Iran.

Warning from a Rabbi

"America's Rabbi" Warns: "Enormous, Humanic and Historic Upheaval" Rapidly Approaching

Interview with Rabbi Daniel Lapin on How Today's World Compares to the Days of Noah

By John-Henry Westen

WASHINGTON, DC, June 25, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The recent death of Mrs. Ruth Graham, the beloved wife of preacher Billy Graham, has caused renewed reflection on her oft quoted comment: "If God does not judge America soon, he'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah." Indeed, with the culture war raging on abortion and same-sex 'marriage', many a Christian has wondered about a coming purgation - a cleansing as in the time of Noah and the flood.

It may come as a surprise to some, but Orthodox Jews too have a belief in a coming purgation. As the man popularly known as "America's Rabbi" told LifeSiteNews.com, we are "moving towards some kind of enormous, humanic and historic upheaval."

Nationally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author, Rabbi Daniel Lapin spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about his newly released audio series "The Gathering Storm: Decoding the Secrets of Noah", in which he looks at the similarities between the time of Noah and our present day.

Rabbi Lapin is the founder and leader of Toward Tradition - a ground-breaking coalition of Jews, Christians and other Americans united in fighting secular fundamentalism and promoting traditional, faith-based American principles of constitutional and limited government, the rule of law, representative democracy, free markets, a strong military, and a moral public culture.

Key to interpreting the Bible (the Old Testament) suggests the Rabbi, is the Hebrew language. In that language, he notes, the Bible tells that in the time just before the flood there were aborted babies. "Everyone is familiar with that section just before the flood, of giants," said Rabbi Lapin. "The King James translation refers to these people as giants - one thing, in the Hebrew, it becomes immediately very clear is that what we really are talking about is aborted people, aborted fetuses."

"In Hebrew," explained the Rabbi there is "one word for giants (and) aborted fetuses." Comparing the time of Noah to the current day, the Rabbi said, "Babies that are aborted eventually bring about a culture of death that destroys society."

Asked if Jews, like some Christians, feel a time of purgation is coming, Rabbi Lapin replied bluntly, "Yes, it is extremely intense."

The Rabbi stressed however that a Judeo-Christian view of the end of time is a hopeful one, in contrast to the secular view of the end of time which sees only doom and gloom. "There is a dichotomy here between a secular world view in which the end of time is hopeless," Rabbi Lapin told LifeSiteNews.com. "It is doomed. It ends in oblivion . . . Right now it is global warming, a few years ago it was nuclear winter. Before that it was that we were all going to starve and die naked and cold when Thomas Malthus at the end of the 18th century made his predictions."

"The secular world view will generate an end of time picture of hopelessness and doom and by contrast a Biblical world view of both Jews and Christians shows an end of time picture that, while it may have its turbulent threshold, is a time of some kind of unimaginable solution to all human problems."

Asked, if it would be "a time of renewal of goodness on earth?," the Rabbi replied, "Exactly right. Yes."

As for God having to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah for not acting on America for its sins, Rabbi Lapin suggests God is in fact acting on America. "God doesn't necessarily act towards every culture in the same way," he said. "Every culture that adopts abortion and homosexuality as normal is a culture that begins to decline and eventually vanish off the stage of world history - that is God acting."

"That is precisely the point. It is not that hard to see in many ways the fortunes of the US of A are simply not where they were before these twin scourges became prevalent. Yes, He is acting - He is not going to have to apologize to Sodom at all. He is being very consistent. He may not be burying us in thunderbolts and mountains of salt but the damage that the US of A is enduring is no less fatal."

Rabbi Lapin sees another striking similarity between our day and the time of the Biblical flood. Noting the political situation in the United States, where the major argumentation seems focussed on abortion and same-sex 'marriage, Rabbi Lapin observes: "Undoubtedly, it was very significant, that never before in a presidential election has there been this much focus on the faith and beliefs of the candidates which again brings us back to this Noah like period in which divisions between people are lining up very clearly on a spiritual level."

While Rabbi Lapin rejects any attempt to fix a date on the coming upheaval, he does say that it is rapidly approaching. "What is unquestionably crystal clear is that time and history is accelerating. Things happen more quickly now than ever before so it is moving rapidly towards this event, whatever it will look like."

Caught in the Middle

Looking at the current crisis in the Middle East and the calamities in the West I cannot help but feel that the masses of people are like ball in the hands of an evil joker performing a juggling act, throwing the ball back and forth between his left and right hand.

Many blogs report on the danger of Islam, and only the die-hard denialoholics still persist in a rosy colored view of Islam. It’s quite obvious that we are living in the times that the ‘Moon is turning red’ and that the polarization between the Muslims and the infidels is driven to cataclysmic proportions. To still persist in a model of bowing down before the aggression of Islamic aggressors in attempts to appease them equals insanity-driven euthanasia.

On the other hand the West asserts its superiority by means of flaunting its secular hedonism in the face of its enemy, as if it wants to convert the Muslim world into walking the path of Western Freedom, quite oblivious (-or so it seems!) to the fact that in doing so it is immortalizing itself as a role model of conceit, stupidity and hypocrisy, because it merely reinforces the prejudice of non-Western nations that the West equals a framework where freedom is translated into rampant immorality and hedonism. Is it any wonder that they turn away from this display of weakness and hypocrisy in utter disgust? Add to that unbridled materialism and selfishness and the picture is complete.

Another name for this Western brand of secular humanism would be Satanism, and it is very sad to see how the West has drifted away from its Judeo Christian origins into the quagmire of cloaked Satanism.
Even the traditional Christian churches for the most part have become nothing more than vain parades of religious amalgamates in Jesus’ name, proclaiming a gospel conceived in conformity to tradition for tradition’s sake (mindless conservatism), or conformity to the spirit of the times (politically correct thinking mode).

So on one hand there’s a weak effeminate hypocritical West pretending to be superior through its democratic principles, while on the other hand there’s the increasingly aggressive Islamic party that not only exposes the hypocrisy of the West, but which ALSO claims to be superior, and not only that, it seeks world domination. It has so much in common with the Nazi ideology that the ignorance of Western politicians to the parallels between Nazism and Islam, especially when it comes to the Jews, is simply astonishing by any standard.

Masses of people manipulated to be pawns in the service of Islam in the one hand, and masses of people estranged from their roots by a secular hedonistic ideology in the other hand. And the sane ones are caught in the middle of the coming clash between the evil right hand of Satan in the form of an aggressive Islam, and the evil left hand in the form of a limp-wristed Satanic West where the politicians are accustomed to betraying their own people.

The invasion of our countries by Islam began decades ago, and it flourished at the hand of politically correct politicians in their attempts to impose strict censorship on any protesting sound against the continuous influx of predominantly Muslim immigrants whilst showing favoritism to the immigrants, even at the expensive of their own people.
Especially the Left use(d)(s) this group of immigrants as a means to consolidate and increase its power (who will bite the hand that feeds him?), and looking back it can best be described as a cloaked invasion with the politicians in the leading role of the sick enabling party, fueling and augmenting the differences between the immigrants and the native population.
And now the West is reaping the bitter fruits of this process. Especially the big cities in the West European countries are utterly destabilized through the polarization of the differences between the ethnic/cultural groups.

And what is there still worth fighting for in the West?
I KNOW that this mode of thought is always self-defeating, but in all honestly I cannot help but sincerely wonder. What do we have left that is truly worth fighting for?
The ever increasing homosexual fascist emancipation movement’s right to impose its values on opposing parties? The ongoing ritual child murder a.k.a. abortion? The right of sexual promiscuity? The right to drug yourself to death? The right to prosecute and ridicule those who dare to question politically protected groups? The right of excessive consumerism? To protect our beloved correct politicians?
Our values have gone sour and they are not in tune with our Creator’s rules, and this dissonant has been increasing constantly in time to the point where its persistent loudness cries out to be either resolved or cut off. Looking at the hardness of heart of the West I strongly feel that the latter possibility will become reality for us, and we will have to suffer for our foolishness. We have ventured beyond the point of no return.

In spite of feigned optimism the signs are getting worse by the day, and it’s best to be prepared instead of being caught by surprise.

Israel braces for July war with up to five enemies

The following article is to be found on worldtribune.com

JERUSALEM — Israel is preparing for an imminent war with Iran, Syria and/or their non-state clients.

Israeli military intelligence has projected that a major attack could come from any of five adversaries in the Middle East. Officials said such a strike could spark a war as early as July 2007.

On Sunday, Israeli military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin told the Cabinet that the Jewish state faces five adversaries in what could result in an imminent confrontation. Yadlin cited Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, Hamas and Al Qaida.

"Each of these adversaries is capable of sparking a war in the summer," Yadlin was quoted as saying.

[On Monday, Al Qaida's No. 2 Ayman Zawahiri endorsed the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. The Al Qaida statement came after Zawahiri repeatedly criticized Hamas for tolerating Palestinian Authority cooperation with the United States.]

Yadlin said Hamas could be planning a major attack to divert attention away from efforts by the Palestinian Authority to isolate the Gaza Strip. He said Syria might be promoting such an attack.
Officials said Iran has direct influence over Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas. He said Al Qaida has increasingly come under Iranian influence and was being used by Iran and Syria in such countries as Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon.

Already, military intelligence has assessed that Hamas acquired more than 50 missiles with a range of 22 kilometers. Officials said this would allow Palestinian missile strikes on any part of Ashkelon, the largest city in southeastern Israel and which contains strategic sites.

Hamas has also deployed at least 20 SA-7 anti-aircraft systems, officials said. They said the missiles threaten Israeli combat helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft that conduct missions over the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, Palestinian gunners continued missile fire into Israel. Hours earlier, the Israel Air Force struck an Islamic Jihad squad said to have been driving toward the northern Gaza Strip to launch missiles toward Israel. One Jihad operative was killed and two others were injured.

Israeli military intelligence has assessed that Hamas was being quietly supported by neighboring Egypt. Officials said that despite Egypt's announced ban, Cairo has continued to allow Hamas leaders to enter the Sinai Peninsula from the Gaza Strip.

Over the weekend, officials said, a Hamas delegation led by former PA Interior Minister Said Siyyam entered Sinai. They said the 15-member delegation was escorted by Egyptian security forces to Cairo for a flight to Damascus, where they were scheduled to meet Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Masha'al.

On Monday, Egypt was scheduled to host a regional summit meant to support PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Israel, Jordan and Abbas were expected to attend the meeting in the Sinai resort town of Sharm e-Sheik.
