“We also have to work… the dark side, if you will.” -
US Vice President Dick Cheney


This 2 part series of articles is one of the BEST and most honest writings I have read speaking truth about our current situation. Please read the excerpts click on the links at the end for both articles.

Apocalypse No! part 1 (excerpts)

Our “way of life” has never worked on planet Earth and it never will – every empire in world history has collapsed, every empire overshot its “resources” – and this empire will be no different.

In the most coherent and morally consistent of the indigenous prophecies -¬ that of the Hopi nation – it is said that during the Time of Purification a brave person will stand up and demand of the rulers, “You profit at the expense of all life. Come here and pay your debt.”It is that payment – the moral and practical responsibility for the debt of destruction - that the Euro-American script encoded in the Revelation means to avoid.

In the US, the middle class is as addicted to power and to things – junk – as are the elites. The main difference is that they can only access smaller doses of these pain killers.

The addiction to power and to things leaves us, like any addiction, psychologically and emotionally “invulnerable.” That’s the whole idea; someone gets hurt, but it’s not us. We have ours. We don’t sympathize.

Apocalypse No!Christian Fascism And The Nazi Legacy Part 2
(excerpts)

Today, the extreme Right criticizes its opposition as “reality based,” holding that reality is something created by action and power – ultimately fascist action and fascist power backed by “god”– nothing more and nothing less.

The “reframing” of the struggle “as a moral struggle, as a transcendent struggle, as a struggle between good and evil,” would require not only the delegitimization of bourgeois democratic institutions and the creation of “alternatives,” but the waging of the fiercest kind of counterattacks against post-Hiroshima culture in the US and anti-colonial cultures around the world. Christian Fascist strategist Eric Heubeck wrote:

"We will maintain a constant barrage of criticism against the Left. We will attack the very legitimacy of the Left. We will not give them a moment's rest. We will endeavor to prove that the Left does not deserve to hold sway over the heart and mind of a single American. We will offer constant reminders that there is an alternative, there is a better way. When people have had enough of the sickness and decay of today's American culture, they will be embraced by and welcomed into the New Traditionalist movement. The rejection of the existing society by the people will thus be accomplished by pushing them and pulling them simultaneously.”

“It is dominion we are after.”

“We thank god that it has come to us instead of to our enemies, and we pray that He may guide us to use it in His way and for His purposes.” – President Harry Truman on his decision to drop nuclear bombs on Japan.

When the world shattered they closed themselves, folded in upon themselves, sought security in the known; it was the beginning of the era of the great fear, the era of atomic war. Joe McCarthy was their shaman, the one who would fix the crack, bring everything back into order, under control. This repressive “spiritual warfare” is one of the hallmarks of Christian fascist practice as they prepare the ground for the apocalypse. Disgraced former House Speaker Tom DeLay – who believed the US invasion of Iraq would open the gate to Armageddon, called the 2000 election a "battle for souls."
