A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies.

Brownie points for anyone who can identify the source of the title...

You know, given the current levels of Pure-D Armageddon Potential in the world today, I'm surprised we aren't hearing more about what the various millennial cults are up to. Where are all the Earth Changes people? The Branch Davidians? Heaven's Gate? Didn't Nostradamus have anything to say about all this? Why aren't more of the Lunatic Fringe waving their arms and singing, "Told you so! Told you so! Neener neener neener!"?

Is it because they'd just sound too rational these days? Or just too banal?

Or is it because we've got good, Baptist millennialists running the show right now? Ronald Reagan, patron saint of the current junta, made no secret of his millennial leanings.

Maybe there's a method to the Madness of King George. Maybe he's not clueless to the possibility that this little surgical strike in the Holy Land could erupt into the Last Crusade. Maybe he sees himself as the instrument of Divine Will.
That's right, Divine Will, illegitimate offspring of cross-dresser Divine and conservative commentator George Will.

Self-fulfilling prophecy, anyone?

Well, considering the amount of neo-con's* in his court.... I don't think he sees himself as divine, but an instrument is a good possibility. Recent developments are starting to freak me out, having staff that meets with bible-code experts is pretty damn freaky.


*Contrary to possible belief of those in LJ-Land, I am not a neo-con. I'm somewhere in the no man's land beween communism, capitalism and 'modern' libertarianism (right-libertarianism) that is known as left-libertarianism. The oldest and (sadly) smallest segment of the libertarian community.

   They're all still chattering away on Coast to Coast A.M. just like always. They've been bumped from more mainstream channels by World events, but that's to be expected. I'm not going to get too millennial or political here, but I do know that there are more than a few people who believe that supporting and protecting the state of Israel will, ultimately, help bring about the Second Coming. Take that for whatever it's worth.

Offer me solutions! Offer me alternatives! And I decline!

It's the end...
