The Un-Holy Alliance...
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station...
And the preacher said, “You know you always have the Lord
by your side.”
Now I was so pleased to be informed of this
that I ran twenty red lights in his honor.
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord.

Psychopaths United For Israel

It cannot be denied that many ‘so-called’ Christians drop the
name of Christ like a rich kid drops his daddy’s name to get a
good table at an expensive restaurant. When they say, “Christ
paid for it all,” what they really mean to say is “Jesus’ll
pick up the tab.”
What The 3rd Commandment Really Says...
These very same people will cringe if they hear the words
“Jesus Christ’ or ‘godammit’ used in the context of a stubbed
toe. What they don’t realize is that they have been led to
believe a false interpretation of the Old Testament’s third
commandment.
According to both Greek and Hebrew translations, ‘taking the
Lord’s name in vain’ refers to those who falsely profess to
be doing God’s work or using God’s name for self-indulgent
purposes.
We witness this every Sunday when the televangelist preachers
take to the airwaves to bilk their congregations out of their
life savings. We also see this from well compensated celebrity
Pastors who weekly pander pro-Israeli war propaganda on their
gullible flocks.
Nobody does that better than John Hagee, Pastor of Cornerstone
Church in San Antonio, Texas. Last Sunday, Hagee addressed
the second annual ‘Christian’s United For Israel’ event that
drew fellow psychopaths from all 50 states and 50 nations
around the globe. Hagee spewed the same lies and hateful
rhetoric that he’s been propagating for decades.
“Israel is an outpost of freedom and democracy in one of the
most undemocratic regions in the world,” Hagee said after the
event. “Now is the time for Israel’s supporters, regardless of
faith or political ideology, to unite in standing with Israel
as she confronts such serious threats from Hezbollah, Hamas,
and Iran.”
Hagee pulled out the same old tired line about the threat of
a ‘nuclear holocaust’ from Iran and how President Ahmedinejad
vowed to “wipe Israel off the map.” Both are debunked lies
that are as ridiculous as Hagee himself. Iran is nowhere near
having the capability to construct a nuclear weapon and
President Ahmedinejad’s exact words were, “The Imam said this
regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time.”
Hagee also conveyed his frustration with the Obama administration:
“Washington has manufactured a crisis with Israel over
building homes for Jewish people in Jewish neighborhoods
in Jerusalem, something no other American administration
has ever done,” Hagee said in a video message before the
event. “Now there is talk the administration will impose a
peace settlement on the parties whether or not the Israelis
believe their security is guaranteed. In my 30 years as a
Zionist there has never been a more critical hour for Israel
than right now.”
People of Hagee’s ilk love politicians like Obama to kick
around. Their need to feel persecuted is an essential
ingredient to lend credence to their ‘end times’ scenario.
Obama is just the latest in a long string of perceived
Presidential anti-Christs that they’ve been hawking for
many a decade.
The False Rift Between Obama & Israel
In reality, Obama has been towing the line for Israel from
day one. As I made clear in a previous piece, the Obama
administration and Israel are in collusion to deceive the
people into believing that there is a riff between the two
nations. This is being done so the state of Israel can claim
complete inculpability when the U.S. strikes Iran.
Besides, Obama is the Chair of the United Nations Security
Counsel and it would be perceived as an act of defiance
against the UN itself if he were to come out in support of
the settlements. This conflict of interest is the very reason
why our Constitution forbids President’s from holding more
than one office at a time.
If Obama were the anti-Semitic, Palestinian sympathizer that
Hagee would have you believe he is, don’t you think he would
intervene in—or at least condemn—the Israeli government’s
blockade of a peace mission currently making its way to Gaza?
Nine ships, collectively known as the Freedom Flotilla, are
currently en route to the Gaza shore to deliver over 10,000
tons of much needed humanitarian aid to the impoverished
Palestinian people. Three of the ships are from Turkey, two
from the UK and one each from Ireland, Greece, Kuwait and
Algeria. Among the international coalition of peace activists
on board are European parliamentarians, former US diplomats
and Nobel peace laureates. It is the largest effort of its
kind since the Israelis seized the coastal territory in 2007.
Israel has threatened that it will use force to prevent the
flotilla from reaching its destination. The Israeli Defense
Forces and Israeli Navy have been dispatched to the region
with instructions to terminate the peace mission by any means
necessary. The reason the Israeli’s are giving for resorting
to such drastic measures is because they seek to prevent arms
and materials from reaching the hands of the duly elected
Hamas government.
In response, the peace activists have warned Israel that they
will ignore their threats and continue on to their destination
regardless of the consequences. According to an article
appearing in Al Jazeera Friday, Huwaida Arraf, from the Free
Gaza Movement said “Israel should not be under any illusion
whatsoever that their threats or intimidation will stop us or
even that their violence against us will stop us.” Hanin
Zuabi, a member of the Israeli parliament who is on board the
flotilla, told Al Jazeera that the activists intend to reach
Gaza regardless of plans to stop them. He said “If the
Israelis try to stop us, this will be a huge diplomatic and
political crises for them.”
Aid to this battered region is long overdue. Gaza is a giant
prison, sealed off from the world like the island of Manhattan
in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York. The difference is
that the people who inhabit this place are not criminals; they
are victims of a foreign occupation of terrorists who seek to
starve them out of existence. That is why Israel seeks to
deny them aid of any kind. The Palestinian people are
expected to suffer under the thumb of a brutal warden as they
watch their children die from a lack of adequate sanitation,
basic medical services and food.
Israel knows there are no weapons onboard any of those ships
and are well aware that if they harm even one person connected
to this peace mission, they will be facing a public relations
disaster of epic proportions.
But this won’t stop them. Israel may be concerned, but they
don’t fear the repercussions of an investigation by the United
Nations for yet another human rights violation, nor do they
care what the rest of the world thinks of them. They know that
the United States will always be there to protect them from
any threats and continue to provide resources that enable them
to rain terror upon the people of that region.
Any decent human being should be appalled by Israel’s callous
disregard for human life. Denying people decent living
conditions and food is the cruelest form of genocide known
to man. Medical experts agree that death by starvation and
dehydration is perhaps the most painful, tortuous, and
agonizing way to die.
Palestine's Holocaust
How our nation can turn a blind eye to this modern day
holocaust is unconscionable. Obama is not concerned with
the plight of the Palestinian people. If he were, he would
condemn Israel for their actions and immediately cease any
future funding for their murderous campaign. But this will
not happen. Too many of our politicians are under the control
of the Israeli government.
How Americans Finance Their Own Political Slavery:
US Aid To Israel Is Recycled Back To AIPAC As Campaign Contributions
Each year, many of our American tax dollars are sent to Israel
in the form of aid and are recycled right back into the
coffers of political campaigns.
Each day, Israeli agents in the United States monitor and keep
files on the indiscretions of US Senators and Congressman and
use that information to control them. Cutting off funds to
Israel and expelling their agents would go a long way in
stemming that corruptive influence, but it would certainly
not be enough.
Politicians would still be compelled to act on behalf of
Israel by of a powerful and influential segment of their
constituency. Unlike politicians, these people have not
been bought, nor are they compromised. Devotion to Israel
is part of their religious conviction.
To these people, the fate of Israel is linked to their own
salvation. They number in the tens of millions and are perhaps
more responsible than anyone else for relinquishing all US
foreign policy decisions over to this alien power.
They are the BIG problem, and the blood of our dead soldiers
and over a million dead Semitic people are on their hands.
It's Time For America's Christian's To Take A Long Look In The Mirror
Each Sunday—as Gaza starves—congregations of freshly showered
and scented cultists sit on cushioned seats in air-conditioned
churches across America, contemplating whether to have lunch
at Hometown Buffet or Red Lobster.
They like their church because the pastor wears a Hawaiian
shirt and cracks clean jokes with a George Carlin wit. They
like the church band because they’re edgy, like the music they
used to listen to before they were converted.
They close their eyes and raise a hand to the sky (Jesus antenna)
phishing for reception from the man upstairs as the Dave Matthews
look-alike sings songs of praise and worship. The church is
the size of an arena with a large stage and giant screen in
the background.
On the screen is an image of troops huddled in prayer, which
fades into an image of a soldier holding a smiling Arab child,
which fades into an image of F-16’s blazing across the sky,
which fades into an image of troops on tanks handing out
bottled water to a thirsty crowd, which fades into an image
of a soldier reading the Bible, which fades into…
We all know these people. They are among our friends,
relatives, neighbors and co-workers. They call themselves
Judeo-Christians, Millenialists, Dominionists and Evangelicals.
They say they worship Christ, but what they really worship…is Israel.
They consider themselves patriotic American’s, but only as
long as America stands with Israel. It is for this reason—
above all others—that we are engaged in conflicts throughout
the Middle East.
The Scofield Bible & The False Doctrine Of Christian Zionism
Christian support for war is a recent phenomenon and goes
contrary to what Christian’s were taught prior to the
beginning of the last century. The introduction of the
Scofield Reference Bible was the turning point that replaced
traditional, Orthodox Christianity with Christian Zionism.
In the late 19th century, the World Zionist movement had set
their sights on acquiring land that American Christians
referred to as ‘The Holy Land,’ but knew that they would face
opposition from obtaining it.
Christians of the time considered Jews to be the persecutors
of Christ and his disciples, and would never allow a Jewish
occupation of Palestine.
To overcome this obstacle, the World Zionists enlisted the
help of The Oxford University Press and an old Civil War
Veteran and Pastor by the name of Cyrus I. Scofield.
Re-Writing The Christian Orthodox Bible To Serve Zionism - Not Christ
The plan was to change the Christian attitude towards Zionism
by creating and promoting a pro-Zionist subculture within
Christianity. Scofield’s role was to re-write the King James
Version of the Bible by inserting Zionist-friendly notes in
the margins, between verses and chapters, and on the bottoms
of the pages.
He was also used as a front to help promote it to the Christian
community, where he was held in high regard. The revised bible
was called the Scofield Reference Bible and was given widespread
advertisement and promotion. It soon became the best-selling
“bible” in America and has remained so for 90 years.
The Scofield Reference Bible sparked the birth of the modern
day Christian Zionist movement.
From Worshiping Christ, To Worshiping Zionism
It redirected the focus of worship away from Jesus Christ and
concentrated it directly upon pro-Zionist politics. Without
the support of the American Christian community, Israel would
have never come into existence.
Christian Zionists are taught that Jews are the chosen people
of God and that mankind is obligated to provide unwavering
support to the state of Israel. They believe that if America
fails to support Israel in every way, then God will turn his
back on them and suffer his wrath.
Christian Zionists will explain away Biblical passages that
point to hereditary connections between the true Semitic
people and the children of Abraham. Palestinians and Arabs
are to be hated, ethnically cleansed and persecuted if it
serves the best interests of the Israeli government.
Bible passages in the Old Testament (2 Kings 6:21 –23,
2 Chronicles 28:9-11, Nehemiah 5:7-11, Jeremiah 34:11-17,
Amos 2:6-7) that condemn the kinds of human rights violations
committed by the Israeli government are either ignored or
justified by Christian Zionists.
Even liberal Jews, who call Israel their home, are more likely
to call out their government on humanitarian issues than the
Christian Zionist.
An Un-Holy Alliance
The relationship between Israel and the Christian Zionists is
a sick and twisted one to be sure. Each requires the other
to die. It’s really nothing more than a murder-suicide pact.
Israel relies on Christian Zionists to sacrifice their money,
resources, freedoms and children. They need these things to
wage war on their neighbors and expand their empire.
The Christian Zionists rely on Israel to sacrifice 2/3 of
their Jewish population in an apocalyptic war in the Middle
East. They need these things to hasten the return of Jesus
Christ so he can usher them up into Heaven.
Psychopathy In The Name Of Christianity
No sane person would ever allow themselves to be involved in
a relationship like this. But these people are not sane —
they are psychopaths.
Every war that has been waged in the twentieth and twenty-
first centuries has come as a result of this unholy alliance.
It has wreaked devastation upon our economy and has cost
countless lives. But this is more than an economic or
humanitarian crisis.
This is a moral crisis that calls into question whether we,
as a species, even have the will to keep on living.
70 million Christian Zionists make up the most coveted voting
block in America. All of them pray for the return of their
savior so that he may deliver them from this horrible,
dangerous place and rapture them up into the safety of his
loving embrace.
What chance do we have of saving this world, when the largest
segment of our society just can’t wait to leave the world behind?
