Will Rogue Fundamentalist Christian Military Leaders Start a Nuclear War in the Middle East?

George Washington's picture




 

Before You Write Off This Threat … Read This

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that if the U.S. invades the sovereignty of countries like Syria or Iran, it could lead to nuclear war.   And see this.

Russia and China have previously stated that an attack on Iran would be considered a direct threat to their national security.

And Iran and Syria have had a mutual defense pact for years. China and Russia might also defend Syria if it is attacked. So an attack on Syria could draw Iran into the war … followed by China and Russia.

The House approved a resolution Thursday preventing containment as a method of making sure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, rejecting:

any policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran.

The next day, the House authorized the use of force against Iran to keep it from developing nukes.

Of course, while the Middle Eastern wars are mainly driven by oil (and perhaps protecting the dollar) – and while real conservatives are anti-war-  many in the U.S. military view the wars as a literal crusade, and see Islam itself as their mortal enemy.

For example, Wired reported last week:

The U.S. military taught its future leaders that a “total war” against the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims would be necessary to protect America from Islamic terrorists, according to documents obtained by Danger Room. Among the options considered for that conflict: using the lessons of “Hiroshima” to wipe out whole cities at once, targeting the “civilian population wherever necessary.”

If this sounds nuts, remember that … and atheist Neocons and Neolibs are using religion to rile them up to justify war against Iran.

And Professor Michel Chossudovsky documents that the U.S. is so enamored with nuclear weapons that it has authorized low-level field commanders to use them in the heat of battle in their sole discretion … without any approval from civilian leaders.

What could possibly go wrong?

If only there was some way to rid the world of these superstitious gandalf worshippers, if we start another war in the mid east can we only send the mentally ill people like muslims, jews and christians to fight each other, last man alive gets to choose who owns jerusalem, kinda like a royal rumble with all the worlds religions killing each other to find out which is the true faith.

I'd pay good money to see that show.

EDIT.

I do not advocate killing anyone because they are mentally ill, i merely say we shoud give them the means* to kill each other in personal combat.

'Iran to get easy nukes once Israel strikes'

Published on Apr 26, 2012 by RussiaToday

Contradictory statements from the Israeli leadership on the Iranian nuclear issue, have made clear just how tension on the subject has soared. Here on RT, we discuss the situation with retired US Colonel, Douglas MacGregor.

George: What you unfortunately missed is that "evangelical" Christians have become ZIONISTS. I have studied it in depth, and it is very frustrating. I am a Christian who does NOT support Zionism and worships Christ, not Israel! The supposed " Christians" who clamor for war are simply globalists, whether wittingly or unwittingly. Zionism is simply dangerous!

I've never understand this obsession with Zionism.  It reminds me of rioters in Sudan or Malaysia who couldn't find Israel on a map yet kill total strangers. At least Christians of yore were merciful.  If the captor simply confessed their guilt (being a Jew, Muslim, witch, demon or non-believer) they could be mercifully without undergoing more loving torture.

How many wars and how much suffering has been caused by idiots claiming only he and his followers were "real" Christians and everyone elses were was a heretic?  And the beat goes on.

George I enjoy reading your articles. I only agree with half of them but anyone who only reads things he agrees with is a stupid man bent on getting stupider. Where did you get the idea for this story? Did you get it on your own or did someone feed it to you? Please seriously consider if you are being set up to look like a fool. This is a commonly used technique to discredit critics. I've known hundreds of fundamentalist Christians and NONE of them believe what you are saying. It's not a matter of them being better or peaceful (they're not), it's because the one of the ten fundamentals of Christian belief (the root of the term fundamentalist) is that God is in control and a person trying to create "God's purpose" is just wasting his time. Right or wrong it's what they believe. All of them. On the other hand any whack job can call himself a fundy to try to garner support. He might even fool a few to follow him but most will not. Keep doing your best to deliver the truth.

First off, neither China nor Russia will ever go to war with the United States over Syria or Iran.  Russia doesn't have the might for war, while China will only fight for China - and that means in eastern Asia and the South China Sea.  China might try to spark a war involving the United States in order to distract us from a lunge at Taiwan, but they won't go to war with us in order to stop us from warring on Iran or Syria.

That said, there is a fundamental conflict between Islam and the West (really, between Islam and anything non-Islamic) and such as been the case since the first pack of Muslim barbarians attacked then-Christian Palestine in the 7th century.  This war will go on until such time as a Church is allowed in Mecca - until then, it is just war, hot or cold.  As for our current round of conflic - that which uses terrorist cat's paws to attack us, that can only be finished off by going to the source:  Iran.

There is no need for conflict with the muslims.  Just stop allowing them to immigrate to the West.  Repatriate the ones that are already here.  Then, just live and let live.  Stay out of their conflicts.  Israel is more than able to defend herself.  The Middle East is not important, especially if we get our asses in gear and develop our own energy supplies as we invest in means of alternate energy.

To my co-religionists I would suggest that you stop reading the news in one hand with the the books of Daniel and Revelation in the other.  Stop fretting about the future and live like you expect the Lord back any day.  If He never comes, well, you'll have lived in such a way as to avoid a great deal of pain, with little to feel sorry for on your deathbeds.  Look at it this way: Revelation was written to comfort Christians, not scare them.  So, be comforted.

Just when I am about to give up on ZH and its wacky followers, I run across a gem like this.  I disagree only about repatriation because American Muslims, like other groups in the past, are becoming Americans first and Muslims second.  I taught English to Muslim refugees who fought to grasp the idea of an open society.  

When I left the church years ago I presumed all the craziness of quoting Daniel, Bible "prophecies", Revelations, evil Jews, etc would die out.  Unfortunately the trend seems to be in the opposite direction with folks forming their views from random Bible verses and crazy You Tube videos.  I agree, Israel can take care of herself.  We should be rapidly trying to get out of Mideast oil and the region.

Dogma is a set of religious beliefs declared true by some religious authority. Those who accept dogma do so randomly since even on this board there are all sorts of folks claiming to be a "real" Christian.  In no way is atheism a "dogma" since it does not accept absurd pronouncements that under any other context than religion, would be laughed out of the room.

Of course there are good Jews, but you'll be hard pressed to find many speak up against the Zionist swine.  More likely, they'll just shout you down as "anti-semtic", not even "anti-Jew".

Read the Talmud, Judaism is a sickness, and be quick to hide your copy because they're so supposed to kill you once you get wise to it's murderous teachings.  Their only holidays celebrate Jews slaying others.  Then the Kol Nidra advises they break all promises to Goyim each year and be guilt free.

Bill Moyers reports that the organization Christians United for Israel - led by highly-influential Pastor John C. Hagee - is a universal call to all Christians to help factions in Israel fund the Jewish settlements, throw out all the Palestinians and lobby for a pre-emptive invasion of Iran. All to bring Russia into a war against us causing World War III followed by Armageddon, the Second Coming and The Rapture. See this and this.

This all revolves around what is called Dispensationalism. So popular is Dispensationalism that Tim LaHaye's Left Behind series has sold 65 million copies.

Dispensationalists include the following mega-pastors and their churches:

They are supported by politicians such as:

  • Texas Senator John Cronyn
  • And others

Dr. Timothy Webber - an evangelical Christian who has served as a teacher of church history and the history of American religion at Denver Seminary and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Vice-President at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard, IL, and President of Memphis Theological Seminary in Tennessee - notes:

In a recent Time/CNN poll, more than one-third of Americans said that since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, they have been thinking more about how current events might be leading to the end of the world.

While only 36 percent of all Americans believe that the Bible is God's Word and should be taken literally, 59 percent say they believe that events predicted in the Book of Revelation will come to pass. Almost one out of four Americans believes that 9/11 was predicted in the Bible, and nearly one in five believes that he or she will live long enough to see the end of the world. Even more significant for this study, over one-third of those Americans who support Israel report that they do so because they believe the Bible teaches that the Jews must possess their own country in the Holy Land before Jesus can return.

Millions of Americans believe that the Bible predicts the future and that we are living in the last days. Their beliefs are rooted in dispensationalism, a particular way of understanding the Bible's prophetic passages, especially those in Daniel and Ezekiel in the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. They make up about one-third of America's 40 or 50 million evangelical Christians and believe that the nation of Israel will play a central role in the unfolding of end-times events. In the last part of the 20th century, dispensationalist evangelicals become Israel's best friends-an alliance that has made a serious geopolitical difference.

 

***

 

Starting in the 1970s, dispensationalists broke into the popular culture with runaway best-sellers, and a well-networked political campaign to promote and protect the interests of Israel. Since the mid-1990s, tens of millions of people who have never seen a prophetic chart or listened to a sermon on the second coming have read one or more novels in the Left Behind series, which has become the most effective disseminator of dispensationalist ideas ever.

 

***

 

During the early 1980s the Israeli Ministry of Tourism recruited evangelical religious leaders for free "familiarization" tours. In time, hundreds of evangelical pastors got free trips to the Holy Land. The purpose of such promotional tours was to enable people of even limited influence to experience Israel for themselves and be shown how they might bring their own tour group to Israel. The Ministry of Tourism was interested in more than tourist dollars: here was a way of building a solid corps of non-Jewish supporters for Israel in the United States by bringing large numbers of evangelicals to hear and see Israel's story for themselves. The strategy caught on.

 

***

 

Shortly after the Six-Day War, elements within the Israeli government saw the potential power of the evangelical subculture and began to mobilize it as a base of support that could influence American foreign policy. The Israeli government sent Yona Malachy of its Department of Religious Affairs to the United States to study American fundamentalism and its potential as an ally of Israel. Malachy was warmly received by fundamentalists and was able to influence some of them to issue strong pro-Israeli manifestos. By the mid-1980s, there was a discernible shift in the Israeli political strategy. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Jewish state's major lobbying group in Washington, D.C., started re-aligning itself with the American political right-wing, including Christian conservatives. Israel's timing was perfect. It began working seriously with American dispensationalists at the precise moment that American fundamentalists and evangelicals were discovering their political voice.

 

***

 

Probably the largest pro-Israel organization of its kind is the National Unity Coalition for Israel, which was founded by a Jewish woman who learned how to get dispensationalist support. NUCI opposes "the establishment of a Palestinian state within the borders of Israel."

 

***

 

In their commitment to keep Israel strong and moving in directions prophesied by the Bible, dispensationalists are supporting some of the most dangerous elements in Israeli society. They do so because such political and religious elements seem to conform to dispensationalist beliefs about what is coming next for Israel. By lending their support-both financial and spiritual-to such groups, dispensationalists are helping the future they envision come to pass.

 

***

 

Dispensationalists believe that the Temple is coming too; and their convictions have led them to support the aims and actions of what most Israelis believe are the most dangerous right-wing elements in their society, people whose views make any compromise necessary for lasting peace impossible. Such sentiments do not matter to the believers in Bible prophecy, for whom the outcome of the quarrelsome issue of the Temple Mount has already been determined by God.

Since the end of the Six-Day War, then, dispensationalists have increasingly moved from observers to participant-observers. They have acted consistently with their convictions about the coming Last Days in ways that make their prophecies appear to be self-fulfilling.

 

***

 

As Paul Boyer has pointed out, dispensationalism has effectively conditioned millions of Americans to be somewhat passive about the future and provided them with lenses through which to understand world events. Thanks to the sometimes changing perspectives of their Bible teachers, dispensationalists are certain that trouble in the Middle East is inevitable, that nations will war against nations, and that the time is coming when millions of people will die as a result of nuclear war, the persecution of Antichrist, or as a result of divine judgment. Striving for peace in the Middle East is a hopeless pursuit with no chance of success.

 

***

 

For the dispensational community, the future is determined. The Bible's prophecies are being fulfilled with amazing accuracy and rapidity. They do not believe that the Road Map will-or should-succeed. According to the prophetic texts, partitioning is not in Israel's future, even if the creation of a Palestinian state is the best chance for peace in the region. Peace is nowhere prophesied for the Middle East, until Jesus comes and brings it himself. The worse thing that the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations can do is force Israel to give up land for a peace that will never materialize this side of the second coming. Anyone who pushes for peace in such a manner is ignoring or defying God's plan for the end of the age.

 

***

 

It seems clear that dispensationalism is on a roll, that its followers feel they are riding the wave of history into the shore of God's final plan. Why should they climb back into the stands when being on the field of play is so much more fun and apparently so beneficial to the game's outcome? As [one dispensationalist group's] advertisement read, "Don't just read about prophecy when you can be part of it."

I have never in my life met a Christian who has expressed even the opinion that the USA should fight a war in the ME in order to bring about Armegeddon. Who knows, tho? Christianity is fairly diverse, especially about End TImes stuff. They might be out there. I just never met one. You could say the same thing about alot of muslims, too. Do all of them believe in a resoration of Islamic power to fulfill Koranic eschatology? Maybe not, but I bet a whole lot of them do. Yep, even the stuff that Glenn Beck says about them, and all the stuff Hagee and others probably say about Muslims.

Nice fantasy version of the Cuban Missile crisis. JFK weakness early on with the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Berlin and Laos emboldend The Kremlin against a weak President.  JFK had no clue and his stupidity escalated the crisis.  And don't forget the JFK/LBJ Vietnam War.  

The Bush gang is only exceeded by the Kennedy scum.  At least the Bush klan does not murder ex-girlfriends, ex-wives and interns like the Kennedy scum. 

BTW - LBJ, his pals in Texas (Clint Murchison and others) helped by the military industrial complex with side help from the mafia whacked JFK.  Old daddy Joe doing another slimy deal helped kill off another son.  They decided to pick that vile POS LBJ as his VP.  LBJ was about to get indicted and would not have been JFK's veep choice in the next election.  RFK and his pals plus a few others were on LBJ and his gang of TX crooks and murderers.

JFK like a moron blundered into Dallas.  LBJ saw endless $$$$ with an escalation of the JFK/LBJ Vietnam War.  By whacking JFK - he had the key$$$ to the kingdom.

JFK was like a blind fool with a cane for stmbling into Dallas.  Karma is a bitch and picking the worst snake as your VP was karma YET again biting the Kennedy klan in th arse.
