In conversation this morning with my eldest son Daniel about the problems plaguing the Large Hadron Collider it occurred to me what they need is an exorcist like the witch doctor in “Operation Petticoat.” As fantastic as some of the speculations concerning the LHC’s problems have been and knowing some of the greatest minds and most powerful people in the world have been devoted to Astrology and the occult it would not surprise me if a few people within CERN are not already in one way or another attempting to “exorcise the demons” plaguing the project. But such things among great minds and powerful, wealthy people are generally accepted as merely idiosyncratic whereas among the Great Unwashed they would be called at best “superstitious nonsense.” Class distinction? Of course; such a thing is a commonplace throughout human history.

Among the self-styled liberal tails trying to wag the dog and given to bullying and labeling all that disagree with them “racists, homophobes,” etc. ad nauseam there is an abundance of evil to be found in those ranks and whining anyone watching FOX NEWS has to be delusional at best. But the worshippers of “Hussein” as Jesus pointed out of all the children of the Devil will have their day before the end comes; and I believe the end of America led of Hussein and his worshippers is coming and the process of our destruction as a once proud and powerful nation is accelerating rapidly. “How long, oh Lord?” those in Revelation cried out. Not long, I believe; and I have quite a bit of company among those who believe the prophecies concerning the End Times. Tragically for America, I continue to see our nation as that Great City, Babylon of Revelation whose destruction comes swiftly, and the portents for America’s end are to be seen everywhere for those who can read the “handwriting on the wall.”

Quite surprisingly the prophet Daniel continued to live under the reign of several of Babylon’s leaders; but he was under the protection of the Lord, and because of this was spared from the wrath and plots against him. It would appear from Scripture even those wanting him dead were restrained because they knew he was under the protection of God. Nebuchadnezzar we read had made Daniel “master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers,” and like Joseph had a “cup of divination.” So when that handwriting appeared on the wall condemning Belshazzar it was Daniel who was called on to interpret it. The interpretation: “God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it, thou art weighed in the balance, and are found wanting. Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” Right after this we read: “In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.” That the king had greatly honored Daniel for his reading and interpreting the handwriting on the wall did not save Belshazzar and his kingdom from the judgment of God in that same night of Daniel’s interpretation. That Great City, Babylon, had been destroyed quickly; or as prophesied in Revelation of that Great City in the future: “For in one hour is she made desolate.”

China no longer buying our treasury bonds is a portent, becoming a fractured and divided nation is a portent, “Press one for English,” the various minority tails wagging the dog, the determination by the tyranny of government to make all of us slaves to the dole, the blatant attempt to kick God out of our history and founding as a nation and throughout America today, all are portents, all are the handwriting on the wall prophetic of our own destruction. Here a little there a little and soon the camel is in the tent.

While it is true as Tevye pointed out in “Fiddler on the Roof” that if you have wealth people generally accord you wisdom and you are seated in places of honor. But God prizes genuine humility; that this seems to be wanting among those of great wealth and power comes with the Devil’s territory. It is a curiosity of human history that the wealthy and powerful are often found “consorting with familiar spirits” and devotees of things like Astrology; but then when anyone acquires great wealth and power they become increasingly aware of their mortality and lacking anyone they can trust often turn to the supernatural.

Given our many enemies including Hussein I don’t believe God thinks America is “too big to fail.” Unhappily, I don’t expect to see those at CERN trotting out a witch doctor as per that hilarious scene in the film with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, but I do believe some of them are resorting to witch doctors and the occult of some kind. The LHC is enormously complex, and to be compared with America in that respect. Our problems as a nation are enormously complex, but unlike CERN we don’t have scientists calling the shots; look at what we have for a government and you don’t know whether to laugh at the clowns or mourn for our coming demise.
