Does "the War on Terror" really mean "Holy War for Global Theocracy"?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Why do people like Tim Lehay, Cheney, Bush, Robertson, Ashcroft, Boikin, etc scare the crap out of me?

AND I'M CHRISTIAN FOR GOD'S SAKE!

AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

As Sun Myung Moon (Bush Sr.'s ole buddy) said "You must realize that America has become the kingdom of Satan. Americans who continue to maintain their privacy and extreme individualism are foolish people. The world will reject Americans who continue to be so foolish.. . ."

1. No,it really means plain old Imperialism to make rich men richer, but

since the days of Ugg the stone spear-maker, it has been demonstrated that the most effective method of securing your son, and your gold, in order to generate increased revenues for Ugg, is to convince you that God commands you to fork them over.

2. These freaks seem to want more

they want our loot but they also wnt, nay, DEMAND, we live the lives and do the things they believe are correct. This is some sort of slavery if you ask me!

4. Feudalism is definitely the economy of choice, and while some of the

preachers may be motivated by sincere if loopy religious zeal, those who utilize that zeal in the effort to facilitate your docile complicity with demands for sons and gold, not to mention labor, are driven not by religion, but regular old greed.

7. interesting. Even greed to look good in the eyes of God?

i.e. - "see God, I converted all these heathen by threatening to obliterate them. Do I get a good spot in heaven?"

That's an interesting perspective, and you're right - it all boils down to greed

3. The "war on terror" has no clear meaning whatsoever.

People in high places, supposedly intelligent and educated people, continue to mantra and meme us with a meaningless phrase in order to k eep us in fear and in order to give the idiot another term in office so he can "win" the "war on terror"

This morning I saw Tenet testifying, waxing wonderful about capturing Al Queda people.

Does anyone doubt that with Bush in office and his miserable foreign policy failures that there are not ten more joining Al Queda than they can arrest? There must have been thousands and thousands more recruits due to Bush's policies.

5. I guess this post was supposed to be about the Christian Right

I think the war on terror allows them a true religious war to bring their evangelical movement to the world an bring on the rapture.

6. without question, it does just that

This topic is finally getting some legs. I've been concerned about this for the past 20 years.

This link is cross-linked with several great, albeit scary, articles on this.

8. No, of course not:

it really means an UNHOLY war for global theocratic domination by rightwing American theocrats.

9. only in so far that it helps further the agenda of the global elite

power and wealth are their only ideologies. to them religion and politics are just tools.

which isn't to say this dominionism thing can't cause a whole lot of trouble.

Impact on Today's World.
