Democracy and Christianity died in America December 12, 2000
when elected government was overthrown and replaced with a think tank creation
of American imperialism. That feat could
not have been accomplished without the consent of the two parties in American
politics.
The New World Order that was birthed in the George W. Bush
Administration and escalated under the Barack Obama Administration appeared
unstoppable. But then out of the ashes
rose the unlikely trio of modern day Saint George the Dragon Slayers. That trio is Pope Francis, Russian President
Vladimir Putin and American Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.
Who was Saint George the Dragon Slayer? According to St. George’s Anglican Church:
Excerpt:
Saint George is the patron saint of
Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine,
Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha,
Bteghrine, Cáceres (Spain), Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Milan,
Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Lod, Barcelona and Moscow, as well as a wide range of
professions, organizations, and disease sufferers….
Isn’t it interesting that the countries that have adopted
Saint George the Dragon Slayer as their patron saint, are the countries that
have been in the crosshairs of the bloodied scope on the rifle of the
Washington D.C. military industrial complex.
The traditional legends have
offered a historicised narration of George’s encounter with a dragon… The modern legend… omitting the more
fantastical episodes, to narrate a purely human military career in closer
harmony with modern expectations of reality….
In the year AD 302, Diocletian
(influenced by Galerius) issued an edict that every Christian soldier in the
army should be arrested and every other soldier should offer a sacrifice to the
Pagan gods. But George objected and with the courage of his faith approached
the Emperor and ruler…
George loudly renounced the
Emperor’s edict, and in front of his fellow soldiers and Tribunes he claimed
himself to be a Christian and declared his worship of Jesus Christ. Diocletian
attempted to convert George, even offering gifts of land, money and slaves if
he made a sacrifice to the Pagan gods. The Emperor made many offers, but George
never accepted.
Recognizing the futility of his
efforts, Diocletian was left with no choice but to have him executed for his
refusal. Before the execution George gave his wealth to the poor and prepared
himself.
After various torture sessions,
including laceration on a wheel of swords in which he was resuscitated three
times, George was executed by decapitation before Nicomedia’s city wall, on
April 23, 303.
It would be comical if it weren't so tragic that the so
called Christian Nations today are run by Diocletian values. They sacrifice not only their soldiers, but
soldiers recruited from nations they have destroyed to the pagan gods of the war
industry. These so called Christian
Nations, especially America and Britain have denounced Pope Francis, Vladimir
Putin and Donald Trump repeatedly.
For instance, Pope Francis became Pope in the year 2013 and
burst onto the world stage. The
Argentinian was the first Jesuit to become pope selecting the name Francis in
honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Right
from the start Pope Francis enraged Washington and London politicians with his
so called “leftist” agenda.
The Pope’s first meeting with Putin took place in November
2013 to discuss the plight of Christians in the Middle East and the Syria. It seems the foreign and domestic policies of
Born Again Christian George W. Bush and Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama
have been devastating for Christians. From Russia Times:
Excerpt:
Putin and Pope Francis’s first meeting focuses on Christians’ plight in
Mideast
Hopes were high for warmer
relations between the Russian Orthodox and Catholic churches as President
Vladimir Putin flew Monday to Rome for his first audience with Pope Francis.
Topping the agenda is likely help for Christians in the Middle East.
Putin, an Orthodox Christian, has
repeatedly said that he is a man of faith and his administration has
consistently sought closer ties with the Russian Orthodox Church…
It’s not the first time Pope
Francis has addressed topical political issues: before the Group of 20 Summit
in early September, the pontiff implored Putin to seek a peaceful resolution to
the Syrian crisis, along with other world leaders…
In recent months, violent attacks on Christians in Syria,
Libya and other hotspots in the Middle East have featured increasingly in
media reports.
Christians, who comprise about 10 per cent of Syria's population, are
viewed as supporters of President Bashar Assad, fearing the Islamist
ideology of some rebels…
“I believe it is all systematic and
planned,” Sami Housni, a Christian priest in Damascus, told RT. “Forcing
Christians to leave… In Iraq, for instance, less than 200,000 Christians
remain.
We do have concerns, and we do hope
to stay in our land, Syria, which is the
cradle of Christianity. We also hope that the Pope and the heads of
Christian denominations will call for the renunciation of violence and the
adoption of dialogue.”
That was in 2013 and where are we today? Three years after Pope Francis reached out to
Vladimir Putin to help find a peace agreement in Syria, the cradle of
Christianity has been practically obliterated by American made bombs. America has been sold to the highest bidder,
that bidder being Saudi Arabia. According
to John Myers writing at Personal Liberty:
Excerpt:
Bush and Obama sold America out to Saudi Arabia
The United States invaded the wrong
country when it attacked Iraq. Saudi Arabia, not former Iraqi dictator Saddam
Hussein, financed the terrorists and aided and abetted the slaughter of
thousands of innocent Americans on 9/11.
We have always known that 15 of the
19 hijackers were Saudis. That was just a coincidence, proclaimed Washington.
But the evidence old and new is stacking up that Saudi Arabia, at the top
levels of government, provided aid for that assault…
It all seems too incredible to be
true. It would mean our government has been lying to the American people for
well over a decade…
According to Global Research in
September 2013, the United States will have spent between $4 and $6 trillion fighting
in Iraq and Afghanistan… the families of
the 9/11 victims in a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia announced they have new
evidence that agents of that government “directly and knowingly” aided the
hijackers. It includes sworn testimony from the 20th hijacker, Zacarias
Moussaoui.
Why in the world would two presidents
cover up the most horrific attack on American civilians? I can give you two
reasons: oil and money….
Those reasons might explain Bush’s
cover-up. Obama may have more personal ones for protecting the country that
holds two of Islam’s most holy sites, The Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Mosque
of the Prophet in Medina.
This may sound outlandish, but so
are some of the things Obama has said regarding Islam, including his speech
last week at the National Prayer Breakfast:
And lest we get on our high horse
and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades
and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.
In our home country, slavery and
Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Michelle and I
returned from India — an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent
diversity — but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types
have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their
heritage and their beliefs — acts of intolerance that would have shocked
Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.
Yes, Mr. President, and let’s not
forget about the evil inside Ancient Rome.
Washington’s imperial plans have had a major stumbling block
keeping them from achieving world domination.
That stumbling block has been Russian President Vladimir Putin the
Dragon slayer. No lie, no accusation, no
unsubstantiated claim about Putin has been too scurrilous or too outlandish for
the press to breathlessly report as fact.
For instance, the charge de jour is “Putin is Corrupt.” From Russian Insider:
Excerpt:
'Putin is Corrupt' - Proclaims Most Corrupt Govt on Earth
Startling new evidence gathered by
the US government shows the extent of Vladimir Putin's wealth and corruption…
The Moscow Times reported that
Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the U.S.
Treasury, Adam Szubin, accused President Vladimir Putin of corruption in
an interview with the BBC's program "Panorama" on Monday:
Putin
is corrupt and the U.S. government has known this for many, many years…
We've seen [Putin] enriching his
friends, his close allies, and marginalizing those using state assets that he
doesn't view as friends. Whether
that's Russia's energy wealth or other state contracts, he directs them to
people he believes will serve him and excludes those who don't. To me, that is
a picture of corruption
As usual, Szubin offered no
evidence whatever to prove his allegations -- not even low resolution black
& white satellite photos of two black dots purported to be Putin passing
illicit cash to one of his "cronies…"
Hey Under Secretary Szubin, I have a real case of corruption
and cronism for the U.S. Treasury Department to investigate. How about this one from the Intercept:
Excerpt:
How the Iraq War Financed a Beltway Real Estate Boom
Back in the DC real estate doldrums
of the mid-1990s, before he helped pave the way for war in Iraq, Stephen
Rademaker owned a modest condo in Arlington, Va.
Then, a few years later, as a House
staffer on the International Relations Committee, Rademaker wrote the Iraq
Liberation Act of 1998, which called for regime change, a phrase that altered
the course of history…
Things soon took a turn for the
better, at least for Rademaker; he left government and went to work as a
lobbyist, eventually joining countless numbers of retired government officials
who cleaned up, directly or indirectly, by leading the country into war…
Rademaker, who was a strong backer
of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and has generally never met a war he didn’t want,
from Syria to Libya…
Also worth mentioning is that
Rademaker is married to neocon Danielle Pletka, another former Hill staffer who
is now senior vice president at the American Enterprise Institute, and who
clings by her nails to the cliff’s edge of sanity.
She and her think tank were major
proponents of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and last August, Pletka co-authored a
Wall Street Journal op-ed that called President Obama’s response to ISIS
“inadequate.” She demanded that Obama arm the Syrian opposition, send military
advisers and trainers to Iraq “by the thousands, not hundreds,” and stop
“blocking the delivery of much-needed weapons” to Iraq….
Resuming those shipments—which had
been delayed by annoying human rights concerns, like widespread “politically
motivated sectarian and ethnic killings” in the words of a U.S. government
report—is one of the things that Pletka’s husband gets paid to lobby for, my
source said, so it’s nice she can use the Journal’s op-ed pages to help him
out.
In the meantime, Rademaker has
taken a nice step up from the Arlington,
Virginia condo that he sold in 1995 for $148,000. Now he and Pletka live in
a 6,138-square-foot 6-bedroom home
in McLean, Va.—big enough to fit a few of the over one million Iraqis who have
been displaced or fled their country since the 2003 invasion. Rademaker and Pletka bought the house,
currently assessed at $1.8 million, a year after the war began.
You know what the real kicker is? Daniel Pletka isn’t even an American, she’s
from Australia. As a matter of fact many
of the members of the American Enterprise Institute with their snouts in the American
taxpayer trough are not Americans. Makes
me wonder about all the tortured intellectual contortions of the right wing to
justify the Presidential candidacy of Ted Cruz.
Cruz clearly is not eligible to run for President of the United States,
he was born in Canada. I wonder why they
are so eager to eliminate the Constitutional requirement that the President and
Vice President be natural born citizens.
Who do you suppose the AEI has in waiting?
I won’t hold my breath waiting for a U.S. Treasury Department
investigation into the trillions of taxpayer dollars funneled into the pockets
of the cheerleaders for war. But how
about investigating this Mr. Szubin?
From Global Research:
Excerpt:
Report Reveals $8.5 Trillion Missing From Pentagon Budget
Yahoo Money’ The Daily Ticker quoting a Reuters investigation that reveals
that $8.5 trillion – that’s trillion with a “T” – in taxpayer money doled out
by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996 that has never been accounted for.
You read that right. While Republican politicians rush to slash food stamps for the 47 million
Americans living in poverty – the highest amount in nearly two decades
– Republican U.S. Secretary of Defense
Chuck Hagel has the audacity to complain that $20 billion dollars in automatic
sequester cuts to the massive and
secretive $565.8 billion Defense Department budget are “ too steep, too deep,
and too abrupt,” all while the Pentagon and the Defense Department are
overseeing massive fraud, waste, and abuse.
Yes, that is what a “Christian” nation does, starve their
people to plow trillions of dollars into the “Defense” Department to maim and
kill people across the world. The media
in America is trying to turn the people against Vladimir Putin because he is so
corrupt, he rewards his crony friends.
The corruption accusation against Putin comes one the heels
of their latest failed attempts to slander Putin. The British and American media have bleated
out the charge “Putin ordered the murder of Litvinenko.” From Consortium News:
Excerpt:
Assessing a Murder Case Against Putin
Once Western media demonizes a
foreign leader it becomes hard to assess allegations because if you express
doubt, you’re dubbed an “apologist.” But careful analysis is still crucial as
Russia Insider editor Alexander Mercouris offers on the British claim that Russian President Putin “probably” ordered a
murder in London.
The Judge who headed the Inquiry
was obsessed with proving the Russian state murdered Litvinenko. In order to prove what he always believed he
threw legal procedure out of the window and interpreted the evidence how he
wanted.
In the end even he could not prove
that the Russian state murdered Litvinenko, which is why he could only say they
“probably” did.
In reality the facts – if looked at
objectively – show the Russian state almost certainly did not murder Litvinenko
and played no part in his death.
The Inquiry and its report actually
say more about the pathological hostility to Russia of some sections of the
British establishment than they do about the Litvinenko case.
Yep, the “Inquiry” says more about the “pathological
hostility to Russia” in the Cameron Administration than about Putin. And who is the only American candidate for
President that is sane enough to avoid making wild accusations that Putin is a
murderer? You guessed it, Donald
Trump. From the Daily Mail:
Excerpt:
Donald Trump defends Vladimir Putin over Alexander Litvinenko murder
insisting if 'he says he didn't do it...who knows who did it'
Republican presidential nomination
speaking following inquiry into killing.
Trump says if Putin denies being responsible then he should be believed,
added he will only make up his mind when someone is convicted of crime. London judge concluded spy's 2006 death was
'probably state sponsored'
Imagine that, an American Presidential candidate that says
Putin should be believed if he says he’s innocent until someone proves in a
court of law that he is not. What does
that say about American politicians when they don’t believe in the basic tenant
of you are innocent until proven guilty.
But people across the world are fed up with the Rupert
Murdoch’s global media empire spewing hatred and lies as newsworthy facts. Case in point, Germany. From Russia Insider:

| Berlin, Germany |
Excerpt:
Germans Abandon Major News Sites in Anger Over Slanted Russia Coverage
Triggered by reader disaffection,
internet traffic has collapsed for half a dozen major German media websites
Hmmm, what do you suppose happened there?
Der Spiegel – on its way out?
What's going on in the German media is huge. It is one of the most popular subjects on
our site. The US and UK media have been
hugely biased in their coverage of Russia, but German media has been far, far,
worse, to the point which strains credulity.
Now it turns out that part of the
reason is CIA fiddling with German media
outlets. Coming on the heels of the
Snowden revelations, this has Germans seriously ticked-off. Here's the latest revelation from our
correspondent in Germany.
Since the publication of Udo
Ulfkotte's “Gekaufte Journalisten“ in September – now a #1 Amazon bestseller,
in which he charges that the CIA
regularly bribes top German journalists, himself included, – German
readers' disaffection towards their mainstream media appears to have crossed a
point of no return.
Granted, sales of newspapers and
magazines have fallen everywhere, not just in Germany. But this is different.
This is a boycott that is affecting web traffic. Germans are steering clear of mainstream media websites.
Ha, ha ha. I love
it. Good for you guys. Gotta love the German people. Stick it to them. Talk about dragon slaying, I hope this trend
continues worldwide. But that’s a tall order for Britain and America, two of
the most corrupt nations in the world.
When I saw this article in Mint Press where Buzzfeed is being sued for
defamation, I thought it was an article from The Onion at first.
Excerpt:
BuzzFeed Faces $11m Defamation Lawsuit From News Agency
Central European News and its
founder Michael Leidig claim that an article titled ‘The King of Bullsh*t News’
deliberately set out to damage the business.
CEN and Leidig allege that BuzzFeed maliciously intended to damage the
news agency in order to “obtain a greater share of the market for viral
news in Great Britain and elsewhere around the world”.
They are seeking $5m each, as well
as a further $1.04m for lost business opportunities, and further punitive
damages.
“The BuzzFeed story accuses Mr Leidig, an experienced and award-winning
journalist, of the worst thing you can accuse a journalist of – fraud,”
said Harry Wise, the New York-based lawyer representing CEN and Leidig.
“It is
unfortunate that BuzzFeed refuses to recognise that its story is completely
unfounded, and has done terrible damage to Mr Leidig and his company. We look
forward to demonstrating those things in court.”
Leidig, CEN’s chief executive,
claims that when BuzzFeed originally contacted him about writing a piece it was
under the guise of wanting to write a
feature on CEN’s “laudable investigative journalism”.
He launched his legal action after
failing to get BuzzFeed UK to remove the article.
Ha ha. Of course I
had to read the article that BuzzFeed wrote called “The King of Bullsh*t News”
to see what egregious lies they wrote about Central European News and their
crackerjack chief executive Leidig. This
excerpt caught my eye.
Excerpt:
In recent years, CEN has become one
of the Western media’s primary sources of tantalising and attention-grabbing
stories. They’re often bizarre, salacious, gruesome, or ideally all three: If
you’ve read a story about someone in a strange country cutting off their own
penis, the chances are it came from CEN.
The firm’s business model, like
that of many other news agencies, is to sell a regular stream of stories and
pictures to other media companies, which publish them under the bylines of
their own reporters. In CEN’s case, these include a string of stories from
relatively remote parts of China, India, Russia, and other non-Western
countries.
They tend to depict the inhabitants of those countries as barbaric,
sex-crazed, or just plain weird. And often they are inaccurate or downright
false.
The story is here if you’d like to read it.
Donald Trump is a Dragon slayer, and will be the next
President of the United States unless the two parties can figure out a way to
stop him. So far, he is Teflon Don. Trump has stepped into the belly of the beast,
the Republican Party.
Once the proud Party of Barry Goldwater the GOP is now a parody
of itself. Wanting to legislate every
bedroom and boardroom across the world.
Must have strictest of moral values, not for the actual members of the
GOP but for everyone else. Espousing the
“Christian/Judeo” values of war, death and destruction, and salvation through
starvation the GOP is a sight to behold.
It appears Reason Magazine agrees with me:
Excerpt:
Donald Trump Is the Harbinger of the Republican Party Apocalypse
And the GOP paved the way for its
own destruction.
We may be witnessing the collapse
of the Republican party, or at least the Republican party as we know it. And if
so, then Donald Trump is the harbinger of its apocalypse.
The signs of the party’s weakness
and disarray are everywhere. Trump is the GOP’s presidential front-runner by
most any measure: FiveThirtyEight, which recently published a long essay
looking at the GOP’s breakdown as a party, gives him a 55 percent of winning
the nomination, based strictly on the polls.
Yet the candidate is now in open warfare with two of the right’s most
influential media platforms: National Review and Fox News.
Last week, National Review
published a special issue devoted to denouncing the candidate, with an unsigned
editorial labeling him “a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who
would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in
favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones.”
Then on Tuesday, Trump announced
that, because Fox refused to comply with Trump’s demand that moderator Megyn
Kelly—who has feuded with Trump for months—be removed, he would not participate
in the network’s forthcoming presidential debate.
National Review isn’t the party, of
course, and neither is Fox, but they are important player on the right, and
they wield considerable influence within the Republican party.
No Mr. Suderman, I disagree with you, the National Review and
Fox News are the Republican Party. What’s
even worse is that the Obama Administration is the bastard child that resulted
from the consummation of the two parties into a monolith. Look at the disastrous foreign policy that
has been a continuation of the Bush Administration’s belligerent, ignorance.
From the Russia Insider:
Excerpt:
Lavrov's Snub Was a Signal to More Than Just Nuland
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov held a meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, last Wednesday, January 20, with
US Secretary of State, John Kerry….
One of the Kerry delegation was
Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian affairs. She is
one of several Washington officials directing the war against Russia on the
Ukraine front.
In her arsenal, Nuland’s mouth has been used to attack
European governments reluctant to join her war, as her “Fuck the EU” remark
to US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, revealed at the start of 2014, before President Victor Yanukovich was
ousted in Kiev.
The sequence of stills showing
Lavrov greeting the US delegation for the press, ahead of the Zurich talks... Lavrov’s hand
shakes every US official introduced by Kerry (1), except for Nuland.
Her hand was extended (2), then
slipped, or slapped past, as Lavrov turned to his left to greet each of the
junior US officials lining the wall. As he did so, Lavrov presented Nuland with
his right shoulder. Nuland’s mouth fell open (3); the microphones recorded that
nothing came out…
One day later, at the Zurich meeting… Minutes before the meeting commenced... a
Russian cameraman’s warning that the Russian standard was flying on its
flag-pole upside down.
These images have been interpreted in the international media as
indicators of Russian, also American animus towards each other, as the war to topple the Russian government
enters its third year….
Nuland’s moves revealed her belief
that she can conduct warfare without risk to herself. Her gape registered shock
that she is a target
I sure hope that President Donald Trump purges the State
Department and Pentagon of these petulant, ignorant neocons left over from the
Bush Administration. Really, flying the
Russian flag upside down, how embarrassing for America. Victoria Nuland is an international embarrassment
as well as a war criminal who belongs on trial in The Hague.
As the celebration of Saint George the Dragon Slayer nears,
we remember the story of how Saint George came to slay the Dragon.
Excerpt:
In the fully-developed Western
version, which developed as part of the Golden Legend, a dragon makes its nest
at the spring that provides water for the city of “Silene” (perhaps modern
Cyrene) in Libya or the city of Lydda, depending on the source. Consequently,
the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect
water.
To do so, each day they offer the
dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden must go
instead of the sheep. The victim is chosen by drawing lots. One day, this
happens to be the princess. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to
no avail.
She is offered to the dragon, but
there appears Saint George on his travels. He faces the dragon, protects
himself with the sign of the cross, slays the dragon, and rescues the princess.
The grateful citizens abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to
Christianity….
In the medieval romances, the lance
with which St George slew the dragon was called Ascalon, named after the city
of Ashkelon in Israel.
So our modern day Saint Georges have an enormous and
powerful dragon to slay. The Dragon has
engorged itself on the blood and treasures of nations globally. But fear not, the Dragon slayers have
goodness and righteousness on their side.
The French philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville said “America
is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease
to be great.” Donald Trump has vowed to
make America great again, and I for one believe him.
