Only Bush's imaginary friend can help president out of mess

Posted 11/20/2005
Peace could have been given a chance, but Bush demanded peace only on his terms. He did not want to negotiate a settlement. He preferred confrontation, conflict and conquest. He wanted the world to see just how powerful America is so that no other upstart would try to take on America. His "Christian" conviction has instead become a "lying spirit" in his own mind and in the mouths of his advisers. And his self-righteousness has made him to stink in the nostrils of most of the world. No one loved Saddam, but now Bush has made him a martyr.
America is concerned for its own interests, and especially for the lifestyle of its people. Although the world envies that lifestyle, much of it is based on greed and selfishness, to the point that Americans feel they have a right to run the world and hog its resources. In their pride they even wage war in the name of peace. But their pride and their arrogance irritate and exasperate many countries of the world.
The wealth and riches of the U.S. will be sapped by this war, and the distrust of the rest of the world will bring about more and greater division in finances as well as in political matters. Again‚ this is but one more step in the sequence of events that are unfolding before you.

Is drilling oil in the Arctic Refuge a good way to achieve energy independence? NO

So many of the things that America once gloried in have now been turned into shame! America gloried in having the strongest economy in the world. Her manufacturing base is now collapsing and the economy is in shambles. In the past ten years America has gone from being the world's greatest creditor nation to the number one debtor nation. America once gloried in her educational system, which has now fallen far behind that of most other industrial nations.
No other nation on earth embodies this prophetic picture of the "Great Whore" as much as materialistic America! (Revelation 18) God Himself will put it into the hearts of the coming One World Government to destroy her. Why would God allow a nation that once professed to be Christian to suffer a fiery nuclear annihilation? Because she had the Light of God's truth, and rejected it and went her own way.
Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the world’s attention. But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren’t enough to make a difference. It will be a while before the effects really start to be felt. Production will peak and then slowly fall away. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don’t expect a lot of publicity to be given to this. And then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed. But that’s the way it goes for true prophets.

Letters to the Editor

Unholy terrors

Monday November 21, 2005


To the Editor:

In a Veterans Day speech at an Army depot here, Mr. Bush made his most aggressive effort to date to counter the charge that he had justified taking the United States to war by twisting or exaggerating prewar intelligence.

"In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow, between the crosses row on row." (There is a vast soldiers' graveyard there of little white crosses and flowers stretching as far as the eye can see, thousands upon thousands!)

You know, it's like all the cheers are gone, the cheers of the throngs to the passing parade, to the soldiers as they go to war. All the glory and the glamour as they march off to war as the people throng and cheer them - all of a sudden it's hushed! And then there they lie, silently, the biggest parade of all, and nobody cheers anymore, nobody cares, nobody even remembers!

They say they won their freedom at least, but what freedom? Freedom to fight another war? That's what happened. Freedom to fight another war, to lose more lives, kill more boys, lose more countries and lose more colonies and bankrupt their economies, so there's less freedom today than there was then. They didn't gain anything at all.

Nobody ever wins a war. Everybody loses: All the dead and broken bodies, suffering and sadness and sorrow and pain and hunger and grief and the mourning. Nobody ever wins. Everybody always loses.

War is hell. And the poor boys. They go through hell. A hell of a war that they didn't even want and had nothing to do with making, yet their dictators make them fight it like slaves, and they have to be the sufferers and losers. Well, there's coming a day when there'll be war no more, thank God. Until that time, don't let yourself be propagandized by war in the media. Man's wars aren't noble crusades, but unholy terrors.
