Christian Democrats in the United States
Global Issues - DefenseWe propose a defensive shift away from brute force military strategies, to diplomatic efforts with deals for resources and training by American expertise in civil policing. No human being can live under martial law for long, before such a system would self-destruct. We should not allow free trade to mean weapons sales or construction of military-industrial factories in hostile countries. We also advocate more publicity and openness in the intelligence community. At some point, if U.S. intelligence services do not fulfill core principles of empowering Americans and their spirits with truth, then the country will sink so far into the web of lies, it will fall.
Strategically, putting men and women on the ground with effective body armor, armored vehicles, non-lethal weapons and knowledge is a much more important goal than spending trillions on high-tech mass-murder systems that are never used. If we believe in the values of our American servicemen and women, we should enable them to do the job on the front lines.
We advocate bans on all non-precision explosives such as cluster bombs, and attest that no aerial bombs of any kind can be used in an honorable manner in urban combat. Defensive systems against mass-murder systems ought to be used as diplomatic chips to reduce all stocks world-wide of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons with the goal of eliminating all weapons of mass destruction.
Subscribe to Posts [Atom]immanent terrorist attack on U.S. soil, or hopefully wing-nut alarmism
11/04/08 notes - very pleased that I was a wing-nut and completely wrong, or that someone stepped up and did the right thing, or that anyone planning to attack was caught.10/10/08 notes - lucky so far, but maybe they are waiting until the stock market bottoms out to kick us while we are down. Original post:
Friends, I pray that I am wrong, but something in the back of my mind has been eating at me for the last few weeks. I fear an attack on U.S. soil, possibly on the west coast, possibly a nuclear attack.
Comments in the media increasing our fear and rancor put me ill at ease, followed by Sarah Palin's attempt this week to associate Barack Obama with terrorism despite all the evidence, research and testimonials to the contrary, as well as John McCain's statement that he has always aspired to be a dictator, and the bailout bill which seems like the rats jumping ship before it goes down.
This is my projected timeline. Perhaps this is prophetic. Perhaps I am a wing-nut. I hope the truth is the latter and you can write me off as a crackpot alarmist. (But I have seen the Lord coming on the clouds in great glory, and that saved me from darkness, which is why I am rational and yet have faith, so I know that the end of the age and the coming of the next is near. I don't insist that you believe me.)
Tuesday, October 7th 2008, the second of three presidential debates will take place as scheduled. John McCain will emphasize aggressive American action and claim that this is working. While partly true, that is not the entirety of the story. McCain will attempt to frame Obama as soft on terrorism.
Before the election on November 4th, probably before the last debate, a terrorist attack will occur on U.S. soil, possibly on the west coast. There will first be a coordinated attack designed to increase fear, sow social chaos and disorder and bring the National Guard in to control the situation, at which point the terrorists will use a weapon of mass destruction, possibly a nuclear device, to cause as much death and destruction as possible.
America will be in shock for several days. Then, as that shock turns to anger, the attack will be blamed on Iran and North Korea. This will be used as an excuse to nuke Tehran and Pyonyang with hydrogen fusion bombs and kill hundreds of millions of people. Or, hopefully, Bush will show some restraint and go after specific targets with conventional weapons. But these targets are still not the people responsible. The people responsible will be bought off by Saudi Arabia and Syria and will include traitors at the highest levels of the U.S. military-industrial infrastructure. Why? Why else: thirty pieces of silver - military contracts.
Wednesday, October 15th 2008, the final presidential debate. America's anger will have turned to rage and McCain will feed on that rage, riding it to the presidency. Americans will eat it up and will be convinced that we have to invade and occupy Iran and Pakistan.
China will use our attack on Pyonyang and the resulting power vacuum as an excuse to claim all of Korea and Taiwan, as well as Nepal. Because the U.S. will be occupied with Iran and Pakistan, we will not be capable of showing resistance for our allies in South Korea and Taiwan, and will rely on nuclear deterrence to protect Japan.
World War III will claim hundreds of millions, if not a billion lives throughout Asia and the middle east. Only after years of fighting, and on the edge of complete economic bankruptcy, will America realize the true source of the attacks on our soil: Saudi Arabia and Syria. Why? Because the Sunnis want to play us against the Shi'ites and get them out of the way, so they can establish control over the whole region and control the source of oil for exports by pipeline to China, the world's largest energy consumer by that point.
Then Americans will ally with the Shi'ites, and begin to march westward toward the Holy Land. At this point we will be completely bankrupt and totally financially dependent on China. China's army will march west to control the power vacuum in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran left by our departure. Notice that Jesus and Christianity are not a part of the picture anymore.
In the final days of conflict, who knows what will happen. Perhaps the "abomination that causes devastation" will be the opening of the 7th seal at the Large Hadron Collider. (11 dimensions in string theory, 4 that we perceive, 11 - 4 = 7.) Perhaps it will be a nuclear attack on Jerusalem as our armies march into Israel to divide Syria and Saudi Arabia and attack both. Either way, I pray that "those days will be cut short."
