Jimmy Carter has some help generating heat for Israel. Indiana Jones ticked off the Russians and Sharon Stone has ticked off the Chinese. Is Hollywood going to be the catalyst for Gog and Magog of the Bible? But Carter being a Baptist, he may subscribe to the fundamentalist dispensational pre-trib/rapture doctrine and be trying to hasten the day of the Lord’s return and the battle of Armageddon. Well, he wouldn’t be the first person that thought the Lord could use a little help from some human instrumentality. Remember how Sara thought she was giving the Lord a hand with Hagar; and we know how that turned out.

Before you laugh consider what power Hollywood wields, and having such power as being an American President does funny things in some minds; and I only have to point out that Bush… well, you know what I mean and I’ve written about it at length. And if you don’t, I’m sure Scott McClellan could fill you in. The short version is Caesar Bush lied and FOXNEWS features Karl Rove. But then, not to single out a particular one any MSM that touts itself as “fair and balanced” as they all do either has a very difficult time distinguishing reality or a very high degree of chutzpah.

No matter what one’s personal beliefs metaphysical or otherwise it cannot be denied “The weed of evil bears bitter fruit,” and once you have allied yourself with evil you are on a slippery slope thereafter not excepting people like Colin Powell and Scott McClellan. Neither of these men in my opinion should ever have fallen in with thieves and the fact that they did does not speak well for their powers of discernment. Trying the spirits whether they are of God is more than just a Biblical admonition; it is something we are all required to do when it comes to choosing our associations. But there is no denying power acts as an aphrodisiac on those drawn into its influence, and being a drug it accounts much in the way of sex for some of the very stupid things powerful and otherwise intelligent people say and do.

Still, it is not just tongue in cheek when I write about the influence of Jimmy Carter, Indiana Jones and Sharon Stone on world events. These leave me with an uneasy feeling about the possible confluence of such things and their impact; and if there does exist the poet’s Universal Lyre or a Sea of Consciousness some people might be tuned in to these even unknowingly, or knowingly as some credit Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce for example. I have lived too long, studied and experienced too much to be dismissive of all claims for the supernatural. Though charlatans abound Psi has a legitimate role in scientific inquiry, and there are far too many instances of things falling into the category of the unexplained to entirely discount the paranormal.

But since we don’t seem able to find psychics to solve our problems and prevent wars “We should have stopped Hitler at Munich” is more than a punch line in The Godfather; it was hindsight for many following the war. Pat Buchanan is correct about WWII being an unnecessary war, and when I speculate there will once more be concentration camps in America I have good cause for doing so. As economic conditions continue to deteriorate here in America the unimaginable has a place of actually happening as those of us living the events of WWII can testify.

Where it becomes quite surreal is thinking of a Nuremberg Tribunal for America’s leadership. When I first wrote of this it came to mind the leadership of Hitler’s Germany could never have imagined such a thing, and the ordinary citizens of Germany and Japan could not understand why they were being bombed.
