Evangelicals
have been on quite a wild ride lately with regard to their beloved Cyrus, Pres
Trump. He betrayed them mightily by
signing a behemoth budget that funds the abortion mill Planned Parenthood,
among other things.
On
the other hand, he has also given them two appointments they are fiddling with
glee over: Mike Pompeo as Sec of State
and John Bolton as National Security Advisor.
From
Dr Richard Land:
From
Tony Perkins:
“Please pray for Mike
Pompeo as he becomes Sec of State. A believer who is a patriot and leader.
Another great choice by @POTUS,” tweeted Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood
Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. “Director Mike Pompeo will become the most
principled and successful Secretary of State in the last 25 years. I am
extremely happy about this news.”

More
sober-minded assessments of these men follow:
. . .
The
recent shifts in the cabinet have Mike
Pompeo as Secretary of State. A leading hawk, he was first in
his class of 1986 at the United States Military Academy but found himself as a
junior officer with no real war to fight. He spent six years in uniform before
resigning, never having seen combat, making war an abstraction for him. He went
to Harvard Law and then into politics where he became a Tea Party congressman,
eventually becoming a leader of that caucus when it stopped being Libertarian
and lurched rightwards. He has since marketed himself as a fearless soldier in
the war against terrorism and rogue states, in which category he includes both
Iran and Russia.
Pompeo
was not popular at the CIA because he enforced a uniformity of thinking that
was anathema for intelligence professionals dedicated to collecting solid
information and using it to produce sound analysis of developments worldwide.
Pompeo, an ardent supporter of Israel and one of the government’s leading Iran
haters, has been regularly threatening Iran while at the Agency and will no
doubt find plenty of support at State from Assistant Secretary of State for the
Near East David Satterfield, a former top adviser of Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice.
Pompeo
has proven himself more than willing to manipulate intelligence produce the
result he desires. Last year, he declassified and then cherry picked documents recovered from Osama bin Laden’s compound
in Pakistan that suggested that al-Qaeda had ties with Iran. The move was
coordinated with simultaneous White House steps to prepare Congress and the
public for a withdrawal from the Iran nuclear arms agreement. The documents
were initially released to a journal produced by the neocon Foundation for
Defense of Democracies, where Pompeo has a number of times spoken, to guarantee
wide exposure in all the right places.
Pompeo’s
arrival might only be the first of several other high-level moves by the White
House. Like the rumors that preceded the firing of Secretary of State Tillerson
two weeks ago, there have been recurrent suggestions that McMaster would be the
next to go as he reportedly is too moderate for the president and has also been
accused of being anti-Israeli, the kiss of death in Washington.
Former
U.N. Ambassador John Bolton (now
appointed National Security advisor) has been a frequent visitor at the White
House. He was the preferred candidate to fill the position (replacing H. R. McMaster).
He is an extreme hawk, closely tied to the Israel Lobby, who would push hard
for war against Iran and also for a hardline position in Syria, one that could
lead to direct confrontation with the Syrian Armed Forces and possibly the
Russians.
Bolton,
who has
been described by a former
George W. Bush official as “the most dangerous man we had
during the entire eight years,” . . .

. . .
The
firing of Secretary of State Tillerson, the movement of CIA Director Pompeo to
Secretary of State, and the promotion of Gina Haspel, who oversaw the secret CIA
torture prisons in Thailand, indicate that the military/security complex
has closed its grip on the Trump regime. There will be no more talk of
normalizing relations with Russia.
The
combination of the Israel Lobby, the neoconservatives, and the
military/security complex have proven to be too powerful for peace to be
established between the two nuclear powers. If you look at Trump’s
administration, the above three forces are those in charge.
Israel
remains determined to use the US military to destabilize Syria and Iran in order
to isolate Hezbollah and cut off the milita’s support and supplies. The
neoconservatives both support Israel’s interest and their own desire for
Washington’s hegemony over the world. The military/security complex intends to
hold on to the “Russia threat” as a justification of its budget and power.
. . .
The world is being driven
to war, which would be nuclear, by a tiny minority: Israeli Zionists,
neoconservatives, and the US military/security complex. We are witnessing the
most reckless and irresponsible behavior in world history. Where are the voices
against it?

And
finally and most ominously,
If Trump names John Bolton
National Security Adviser, plan to die.

Based
on what has been said above, one must conclude that the beatific vision for
these Dispensationalist Evangelicals is not the Divine Essence of
‘post-Patristic’ Roman Catholic Scholastics like Aquinas or Dante or the face
of their Protestant-Nestorian man-god ‘Jesus’ but rather a ‘Murcan B-52 Flying
Fortress dropping a payload of bombs on the wicked men, women, and children who
live in Damascus, Tehran, Pyongyang, and Moscow, who were predestined by the
Western European Filioque God from before the foundation of the world to be the
objects of His righteous wrath.

Dance
for joy, all you righteous, at the sight of the Glory of God! Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Foolish
Southrons, have you forgotten how greatly you suffered at the hands of the Army
of American Saints?

And
now you willingly join their ranks to inflict the same misery on numerous other
lands. May God have mercy on our
wretchedness.

Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema
