And one should be clear here, this new Christian militancy is no 
"surface phenomenon." It's for real. Consider the belligerence Pat 
Robertson, leader of the Christian Coalition, is employing in 
describing the effort of the Christian Right to advance itself 
against the Left: Robertson writes that this -  

"... is really the most significant battle of the age-old conflict 
between good and evil, between the forces of God and the forces 
against God"  

The "most significant battle!" Think about that! That's quite a 
statement! This is not the kind of mindset that lends itself easily 
to compromise and moderation. Robertson goes on to assert,  

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America 
is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's the same thing."  

Wow! What liberals have done to Christians in America is "... just 
like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews!" Again, that's quite a 
statement - but these people really believe it! They don't think 
they are exaggerating. And if that's the case, think about what 
this kind of thinking could justify. The mind fairly boggles at 
the thought. After all, almost anything could be justified in 
stopping the Nazis - even extermination!  

HYPING UP YOUR ENEMIES TO THE STATUS OF SATANIC MONSTERS  

In this kind of environment, people on the Left are not merely 
political opponents, they are not merely wrong; they are "the 
ENEMY" and they are "SATANIC." According to this rhetoric, 
feminists "kill their children," "practice witchcraft,"
"destroy 
capitalism," and "become lesbians." Abortion is nothing less than 
the "Final Solution;" it is the "state-sponsored EXTERMINATION of 
an entire class of innocent citizens;" not only that, but public 
education is "a socialist, ANTI-GOD system of education;" and 
gays and lesbians comprise the "most pernicious evil of today."  

The hysteria of this kind of language excites hatred and loathing 
of one's opponents, and opens up the eventual possibility of a 
"holy war" against them - and IT IS PRECISELY THIS KIND OF THINKING 
THAT HAS SPREAD IN ONE DEGREE OR ANOTHER TO THE HARD-CORE CHRISTIAN 
RIGHT - AGAIN, ALMOST ONE-THIRD OF THE U.S. POPULATION!  

Moreover, with the "War on Terrorism" now at full throttle, one can 
be sure that this kind of thinking is today rapidly diffusing itself 
throughout the general population as evinced by polls that indicate 
a TRIPLING of church attendance since September 11th.  

CHAPTER V

GATHERING ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FORCES AROUND THE BUSH 
PRESIDENCY  

IN ORDER TO PROMOTE GLOBALISM
GEORGE BUSH

Given this reality, almost anyone could fulfill the Christian Right's 
"Messiah-Wish" now. After all, the pathology that is at work here 
has powerful transforming properties attached to it, and once it 
takes hold on a "host," who really knows what can happen? For 
instance, who would have ever dreamed that a tiny little man of 
no repute from the remote island of Corsica could have ever been 
transformed into a Napoleon Bonaparte? Or an obscure, failed art 
student from Vienna could have ever been "morphed" into an Adolf 
Hitler?  

It is EXACTLY this pathology that has now fixated itself on George 
Bush, a man who before the events of September 11th had all the 
appearance of a buffoon, but who now - under the impress of these 
events (and this pathology) - is being transformed into a "war 
leader" on a par with Winston Churchill, which is kind of like 
creating a silk purse out of a sow's ear. It gives a person some 
idea of just how much the Christian community in the United States 
has been prepared (adapted) by its own apostate condition into 
READY-MADE TERRAIN for messianic leadership. And one should ask 
himself in connection with this development, What's this terrain 
now producing? Is there a new messiah-king emerging? God help 
us all if there is, for we may be about to descend into a 
nightmare so vast that the Bible says of it,  

"... except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh 
be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." 
(Matt. 24:22)  

Under normal circumstances, the idea of George Walker Bush as 
a "courageous" "war leader" - especially a
"courageous" 
"CHRISTIAN" war leader - would be preposterous; it would 
be enough to take one's breath away, especially in light of how 
he "whimped out" of Vietnam and hid from his duty during that 
conflict in an air national guard unit that his "daddy" pulled 
strings to get him into. Yet today countless numbers of Christians 
are slavishly buying into the myth of Bush as a "war leader" without 
even bothering to find out whether it is true or not, or whether 
or not they are being "sold a bill of goods" by the elites. 
THE FACT IS, THEY WANT TO BELIEVE IT - AND SO MUCH SO THAT 
THEY CALL ANYONE WHO OPPOSES THE NEW "MYTH MAKING" SURROUNDING 
THE PRESIDENT "UNPATRIOTIC."  

And there can be no question that something exceptional is 
happening to Bush, especially insofar as his image is concerned. 
Everyone has noticed what's going on. For instance, Alan Brinkley, 
Professor of History at Columbia University in New York (and 
someone who was openly hostile to Bush prior to September 11th), 
says that something truly remarkable has happened - something 
that has "remade" him in a really unprecedented way. Also many 
of his political opponents have noticed the change too; for example, 
Dick Gephardt, Democratic leader in the House, and Tom Dashele, 
Democratic leader in the Senate. This is extraordinary for a man 
who just a short while ago was being touted as a "pretender to the 
throne" [having lost the "popular vote" (as opposed to the
"electoral 
vote") in the presidential election of 2000 by over 500,000 votes] 
and who was widely perceived as having "stolen the election" by 
brazen "voter manipulation" in Florida; and not only that, but 
who was seen as someone who was generally thought of as 
"intellectually challenged" - an "accidental president," and 
an-all-around flop who was destined to be a one-term president 
of little note and small achievement; an easy "knock-off" for 
the Democrats in 2004.  

NOT ANY MORE

Not any more! Ever since the twin towers of the World Trade 
Center in New York came crashing down last September, the media 
- almost as if on cue - has made what amounts to be a 180 degree 
turn in their coverage of Bush, and so much so that if one didn't 
know better, one would be tempted to think that the press had 
been covering two different people. Moreover, the sudden way it 
was done leads one to believe that all this is more than just 
"happenstance;" that there is a good deal of surreptitious 
coordination involved here.  

In this connection, one should remember that in dealing with 
the "mainline press," one is dealing with the "CORPORATELY-
CONTROLLED" press; that there is an "intersection of interests" 
between General Electric, Westinghouse, Disney, Viacom, CNN / 
Time Warner, etc., and that this "intersection of interests" is 
located around the process of globalization. Thus, when the media 
suddenly closes ranks on any particular subject such as NAFTA, 
the WTO, "free trade," the FTAA, "Fast Track" authority, the 
Middle East, the so-called "War on Terrorism, the so-called "War 
on Drugs," the necessity of strengthening the military, the 
necessity of destroying the guerrillas (i.e., the FARC) in Columbia, 
etc., one can be reasonably certain that globalization is involved; 
that the vital interests of America's "New World Order System" are 
at stake; and, as a result, a very methodical ELITE-sponsored 
undertaking is afoot.  

What all this means is that the ELITES (the Christian Right's 
partners insofar as the pathology we have been discussing is 
concerned) HAVE ENTERED THE FRAY and are very much behind the 
effort to raise Bush's standing insofar as the voters are 
concerned - and that they are doing so for their own very 
selfish reasons.  

What everyone seems to forget in all the smoke and confusion that 
has followed the events of September 11th (and, of course, what 
the elites would like people to forget), is that prior to this date 
the elites had been having a very rough "go of it" insofar as their 
globalization efforts were concerned. The Left had managed to 
weave together a very powerful coalition of forces in opposition 
to the elite's GLOBALIST "NEW WORLD ORDER" DREAMS - as evidenced 
by how the Left had been able to mount in recent months very massive, 
well-coordinated, leftist (read "socialist"), anti-globalist 
demonstrations in Athens, Prague, Davos, Washington DC, Philadelphia, 
Los Angeles, Genoa, Quebec, etc., to say nothing of the way the 
Left had managed to block the elite's effort to push "Fast Track" 
authority for the President through Congress which the elite's 
need to speed up globalization.  

THE "WAR ON TERRORISM" AS A TROJAN HORSE FOR GLOBALIZATION

But the events of September 11th have very "CONVENIENTLY" (some 
people on the Left would say "too conveniently") allowed the 
corporate elites to use Bush (and the "War on Terrorism") as an 
INTEGRATING force around which they can construct a "counter-force" 
against what they perceive to be the very frightening efforts of 
the Left to "shut down" globalization. This is "A TOO CONVENIENT 
FACT" that the Left both here and abroad has been doing everything 
in its power to bring to the attention of people.  

But because they (i.e., the Left) lack access to the corporate 
media, they have been unable to get average people to make the 
obvious connection here - THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CALLOUS EFFORT 
BY THE ELITES TO USE THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001 (AND THE 
NEW "ANTHRAX SCARE") FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH ENDS; that what's been 
happening has all the hallmarks of a consciously contrived attempt 
by cynical, very manipulative "behind-the-scene" "players" to 
"manufacture" consensus in the country by making Bush a "POINT 
OF REFERENCE" around which "the masses" can be rallied in a 
patriotic (even jingoistic) crusade against "EVIL."
