Politics of Apocalypse III - There’s a Rainbow at the End of the Road
“Say, “Shall I tell you who the worst losers are?
‘They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray, but
they think they are doing good.’’ ” Quran 18: 103-104
By the standards of the Quran, on the evening of January 20, 2004. the
world’s worst and biggest loser, George W. Bush, gave his third State of
the Union Address. Anyone who heard this address or has read even
excerpts of it, might join me in considering the fact that the world is
now dominated by a man who is totally insane. Mind you, this is a man
who stole the election in his brother’s state of Florida in 2000, and
who at that time was considered a cut above the village idiot for his
intelligence.
What does it tell you that he now is firmly entrenched in power, and
that his army is equally entrenched in two far away places - Afghanistan
and Iraq? It tells you that the power of propaganda, brainwashing, fear
and subliminal programming can make the lowest form of life appear
great. The propaganda in the Untied States has become particularly
gross. The capture of Saddam Hussein was treated like it was a key
moment in the Book of Revelations. US News and World Report, one of the
leading weekly American news magazines, ran an advertisement free
special edition of its journal entitled “Judgment Day,” featuring a
grainy full size photo of captured Saddam, his baleful eyes looking out
from beneath the “US NEWs” logo blatantly plastered across his forehead.
Would Bush be anywhere if the 9-11 hadn't happened? It really does make
you wonder about the conspiracy theory concerning that apocalyptic
event. Bush’s foreign policy includes statements such as the following:
“We are tracking al-Qaeda around the world, and nearly two-thirds of
their known leaders have now been captured or killed. Thousands of
military personnel are on a manhunt and, one-by-one, we will bring the
terrorists to justice.”
“As long as the Middle East remains a place of tyranny, despair, and
anger, it will continue to produce men and movements that threaten the
safety of America and our friends. So America is pursuing a forward
strategy of freedom in the greater Middle East.“
This is pure Americana. Let’s remember that way back after World War I,
American foreign policy was established to “make the world safe for
democracy.” George W. Bush has now taken that policy to the heartland of
Islam, as a “forward strategy of freedom in the Middle East.” George is
not alone in his policy. Take a look at America’s number one friend and
partner in crime, the state of Israel with madman Ariel Sharon at the
helm.
Sharon’s forward strategy of making the Middle East safe for Israel has
now produced a barrier that makes the Berlin Wall look like nursery
school - and that is the Israeli fence to contain the Palestinians’ in
the West Bank. Instead of sending the Palestinian enemy to concentration
camps like Hitler did to the Jews, Sharon is turning the entire Muslim
West bank into a concentration camp. America has criticized the Fence
(bad for public relations), and the israeli government has put off a
final decision on completing the fence until an Israeli court decides
whether it is illegal or not. Nonetheless, enough has been built already
to make it one of the world’s worst violations of human rights against a
people who have been deprived of their own sovereignty for over 50 years
now.
This fence is supposed to be 700 km long when it is completed, at a cost
of 1.6 million dollars per kilometer. That’s more than one billion
dollars worth of fence. 700 km? The length of the West bank is scarcely
more than 200 km. This is because the fence winds in, out and around
protecting illegal Jewish settlements. In one place it turns the
Palestinian community of Qalquilya into a virtual prison with only one
military checkpoint to get to the rest of the Palestinian West bank. No
wonder that on January 14, the first Hamas woman martyr, a young mother
with two children, blew herself and four Israeli’s up at an Israeli
checkpoint on the Gaza Strip. The Israeli's responded once again by
closing off the Gaza strip as well.
Sharon’s fence - barbed wire nine meters high, in some places concrete
wall, television monitors, electronic sensors, roads for military
vehicles as well as fine sand to get footprints of those who would try
to get past this diabolical fence, has attracted little world outrage.
But no one cared that much either when Hitler set up his concentration
camps. The worst part about living in the apocalypse is the numbness and
impotency that accompanies the normal state of consciousness. To add to
the surreality of it all “Spirit” has gone to Mars (soon to be followed
by “Opportunity”) looking for life there -while Bush is turning the
world into a police state whose ramifications could end all of life on
Earth.
With these information bites , you can see why Quiche Maya spokesman
Carlos Barrios says that 2004 will be one of the worst years yet for the
collapse of the technosphere and the bankruptcy -moral and literal - of
democratic values. Surely with such scenarios now playing out before our
eyes we need a little perspective - eyes of the 2012 Watch
According to the prophecy cycle of Pacal Votan, 2004 is the final year
of the harrowing of hell. Things can only get so bad before there is a
turn around. Admittedly the world moral political saga has never felt
quite so bad. That only means the turn around is going to be that much
greater. It May not be 'til 2008 that we see the beginning of what could
be the Second Creation. But it will happen - and before 2012 at that.“For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.” So
wrote Sri Aurobindo in the Life Divine. According to the Law of Time the
maximum disharmony brought about by unconscious enslavement to false
12:60 time is now climaxing. Later in that same text Aurobindo states,
“A rational and scientific formula of the vitalistic and materialistic
human being and his life, a search for a perfected economic society and
the democratic cultus of the average man are all that the modern mind
presents us in this crisis as a light for its solution. ... this is
clearly not enough to meet the need of humanity which is missioned to
evolve beyond itself ...”
Now this rational scientific formula for democratic values and economic
society has turned into the world police state. But evolution has its
own ways of pulling the rug out from under the feet of tyrants. When the
world tyranny collapses -economically, environmentally and due to
massive solar changes - a new harmony will come about. What goes up must
come down. And when the Bush Dynasty New World Order comes down - a new,
greater more harmonic natural order will swiftly come into fill the
vacuum of the fallen technosphere.
It is not man that has the last word - but nature who bats last. And
after nature goes to bat, God will be true to His Covenant. Looking down
the road to 2012, all I can see is a rainbow ‘round the Earth. For at
the beginning of it all, in the Book of Genesis did God, as a promise to
Noah, make His covenant with man and nature:
9:12. And God said,”This is the sign of the covenant I am making between
me and you and every living creature, a covenant for all generations to
come. 9:13. I have set my Rainbow in the clouds and it will be the sign
of the covenant between me and the Earth. 9:14. Whenever I bring clouds
over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 9:15, I will
remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of
every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy the
earth. 9:16. Whenever the rainbow appears I will see it and remember the
Everlasting Covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind
on Earth.” 9:17. God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I
have established between me and all life on the Earth.” Genesis, 9:12-17
So pick up a Thirteen Moon/28-day calendar and keep marching with me
down that Road to 2012. Remember, it is always darkest on a moonless
night, just before the dawn. And a New Dawn with a rainbow halo ‘round
the Earth, that is most certainly coming after the purification of the
present world order. Allahu Akbar! God is Great!
