How Bushies and Zionists reward their friends: Tony Blair to join Carlyle Group? (updated) By: Rupert Hamer on: 24.08.2005 [18:27 ] (399 reads) Cute couple? IS BLAIR OFF TO JOIN $30BN WORLD ELITE? HE'S EYEING UP £250K JOB WITH ARMS TRADE LINK FIRM Exclusive By Rupert Hamer 08/22/05 "Sunday Mirror" — -- TONY Blair is expected to join one of the most exclusive groups of businessmen in the world after he leaves Downing Street. The PM is being lined up for a highly lucrative position with the Carlyle Group - an American-based investment giant with strong links to the White House and the defence industry. The firm has been nicknamed "The Ex-Presidents Club" because it has had a host of former world leaders on its books including George Bush Senior, his former secretary of state James Baker and former British PM John Major. There a also a large number of former US Army top brass. Mr Blair has been keeping quiet about his plans after his departure from Number 10 - which could be as early as 2007 according to some Labour insiders. But sources in the City have revealed that he is "seriously considering" a high-profile role with Carlyle - which manages $30billion (£20million) of investments worldwide. The job could net Mr Blair up to £500,000 a year for only a few days work a month giving speeches and making "networking" trips on behalf of the company. The move comes after it emerged that the premier's financial affairs are in an increasingly perilous state His dream home has crashed in value by £700,000 in just seven months and he and Cherie have to find £13,000 a month for the mortgage. The £3million loan the couple took out to buy the house in London's Connaught Square is 17 times Mr Blair's current salary. Last night one leading City source said: "Private equity firms don't come any more powerful than Carlyle. It would be a huge coup for them if they could bring Tony Blair on board. "But the job is likely to infuriate MPs and campaigners opposed to Britain's role in the Iraq War because of Carlyle's strong links to the defence industry." A senior Government source admitted: "We know that Tony is looking at a number of options for life after Downing Street including writing his memoirs. "But taking certain jobs could present the Labour Party with a large headache, particularly with firms investing in the US arms industry. "We are trying to move links with the US and the Iraq War down the agenda - and linking up with a firm like Carlyle could reopen all those wounds." At one time, Carlyle's multi-million pound investors included Saudi members of the estranged family of al-Qaeda warlord Osama bin Laden, who have disowned him. But the family have not been involved with the group for several years. It has been criticised for using George Bush Senior to help land business deals in the Middle East while advising the American President on sensitive issues in the region at the same time. City experts believe Mr Blair would be ideally suited to the investment world because he has "the charm to schmooze almost anyone", according to one financier in the Square Mile. The PM would have the added advantage of having met many of the world leaders with whom Carlyle is keen to do business. But friends of Mr Blair insist he is considering other money-making options after leaving frontline politics. They include a lecture tour in the United States which could net him more than £1million and the possibility of a visiting professorship at an American university. Job.. Bush Snr White House HOW THE FIRM HAS LINKS AT THE TO THE Carlyle Group is an American private investment firm which has branches across the world. It was named after the Carlyle Hotel in New York - although it made its headquarters in Washington DC. A range of former US leaders either work for the company or invest in it including Frank Carlucci, President Ronald Reagan's former Defence Secretary. Former US President George Bush Senior was also involved with the huge corporation, but he left two years ago. link

Christian Zionists Heralded in Israel....Israel's leaders react enthusiastically to Pat Robertson's Christian Zionism. HERZLIYA, Israel -- As they say in the preaching business, Pat Robertson had them in the palm of his hand. pat robertson is an enemy of Christ. he is a liar and a deceiver, and an apostle for antichrist. he sullies the name of Christianity and the only people who hearken to his lies are those who are too lazy to investigate true Christianity. none of the holy fathers of the Church taught the evil lies that pat robertson promulgates. they taught the exact opposite, throughout the east or west. st. john chrysostom (chrysostom in greek means 'golden-mouth') is arguably the greatest eastern father of the Church. he is the most prolific with hundreds of writings and sermons amounting to millions of words. to demonstrate how important a saint he is in the Orthodox Church, except for a handful of times during the year, his liturgy is served and he is honored at the end of every liturgy throughout the entire world. (all orthodox churches use the same liturgy throughout the entire world, no matter what language the liturgy is conducted. it makes no matter whether the liturgy is in greek, slavonic (russian), english, french, or even a combination of languages, they are all using st. john chrysostom's divine liturgy.) some of his works have only in recent years been translated into english for the first time. i have not read all of his works, but i have read thousands of pages of his works, and by far my favorite so far are his eight homilies titled 'against the jews' which he delivered in the latter 4th century in the city of antioch. they are a veritable masterpiece. if the blessed augustine is not the greatest orthodox saint from the west, he no doubt surpassed all as the most prolific writer in all of christendom, his writings amount to several million words, surpassing even that of chrysostom. he has a tract also called 'adversus judaeos' or 'against the jews' which was most likely a sermon or sermons he gave which were transcribed. then you have another one of my favorite saints from the 4th century, our blessed father among the saints ephraim (or ephrem) the syrian. he is another great saint of Holy Church, and he wrote many poems and such exposing the folly of the jews. i could go on endlessly detailing all the saints who spoke out against the folly of the jews. my patron saint, st. cyprian of carthage wrote three books against the jews around 250 a.d. i have accumulated probably close to a hundred thousand pages written by the fathers of the Church spanning the last two thousand years and they all spoke with one accord when it came to the enemies of Christ--judaism, carnal israel and the jews. most of these are all on my computer or i am in the process of scanning the books and using OCR to convert them to text format. none of them taught the vicious calumnies that pat robertson and his fellow cadre of 'zionist christian' televangelists teach. if you want to understand the truth about Christianity, don't look to the protestant and roman catholic heretics who simply call themselves Christians, but pervert the gospel of Christ, but simply read the writings of Orthodox Christian saints. i will supply you with whatever writings you desire. --Cyprian
