When the whistle blows

As a tool for predicting the future, I rate the Bible along with tea leaves and sheep entrails and most particularly that book which found its way into the canon over the protests of the saner Church Fathers: Revelation. Even so, all predictions are potentially self-fulfilling if enough people believe, and George W. Bush believes. When he sidestepped the question of his belief that these are the end times following his speech on the War on Terror at the City Club of Cleveland, you could tell he was lying. He “hadn’t really thought of it that way?” Of course he has.

George chose a time of apparently uncontrollable nuclear proliferation to make us the most hated nation on Earth. Even those who cooperate with us hate us and consider us rapacious industrial, religious and cultural imperialists .

The same crapulous crusaders who tried to sell us the “war on Christmas” story last year have escalated the fraud to a “War on Christians and the Values Voter in 2006” which of course is a cover-up for their war on everyone else. All their hopes and dreams are for the end of the world so that the universe can be turned over to ignorant Bible Believing bubbas while God stomps the unbelievers like a cheap 1950’s Godzilla movie.

Sure it reminds us of the situation in Europe in the 1090’s save for the fact that the bows and arrows of the Saracens are now being replaced with nuclear weapons and the fact that the US is far less capable of defending itself after 6 years of incompetent management, outsourcing and involvement in the quagmire of Iraq. Apparently one can smuggle in nuclear materials past airport security and port security is even more lax. Can we still pretend that the administration isn’t inviting disaster because they see it as a divine plan?

Iran is building nukes, Pakistan has nukes, North Korea has nukes, India has nukes, Israel has nukes and now it seems Saudi Arabia may be close as well. According to an article in the April edition of German political monthly Cicero, The Saudi rulers were the financiers of the Pakistani nuclear program and the technology is being imported with the help of Pakistani experts.

According to Express India, the Saudis have built secret underground facilities complete with missile silos in al-Sulaiyil, South of Riyadh. So much for the rapturous idiots who think George has made the world a safer place. The end times are coming and believe what you want, when the whistle blows, everybody goes.
