Is George Bush more like David Koresh or Jim Jones, than Jesus?

The Stephen Harper minority government in Canada supports a reckless agenda from Iraq and Afghanistan, to Lebanon to Global Warming

When U.S. President George W. Bush -- along with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Canada -- refused to support a ceasefire in Israel's attack against Lebanon, the substance of his U.S. administration further revealed itself. Mr. Bush has portrayed himself as America's chief disciple of Jesus. However, it is apparent that the Mr. Bush led neo-conservative "Globalisationists" may have more in common with David Koresh or Jim Jones, than with Jesus.

In 1978, 913 followers of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple committed a mass suicide in northern Guyana at a site called, Jonestown. The charismatic leader of Jonestown, was Jim Jones, a preacher who had set up the Peoples Temple in San Francisco and ultimately moved his followers to Guyana. Jones, claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus, and "Father Divine", among others.

David Koresh sought and became the self-professed "Christian" leader of what became popularly known as the "Davidians". In 1993, David Koresh's armed stand-off with also armed U.S. FBI agents led to the destruction of Koresh's "Davidian" compound in Waco Texas in the United States, along the death of most of Koresh's followers.

The public relations "Christian" mantra of Mr. Bush and Mr. Harper

The U.S. Bush administration, along with Mr. Stephen Harper in a junior role in Canada, use their "Christian" mantra, to create an aura of legitimacy over everything that they do, as being inherently "good". But, lets examine a pivotal historically stated commitment of Jesus, in comparison to Mr. Bush on matters which relate to the current crisis of Lebanon. Jesus said in Matthew 5:11, "Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of G-d". In contrast, Mr. Bush portrays himself in Lebanon, and elsewhere not as being a peacemaker. Instead. Mr. Bush has presented himself as a "man of war", who presides over other "men of war".

It has been well-established that these apparent "men of war" led the United States and other countries into a pre-emptive strike in Iraq, based upon fraudulent claims of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. It has been furthermore well documented that the Bush administration has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, along with the on-going culture of violence and lawlessness in Iraq.

It has been furthermore well-established that the Bush administration has been responsible for more death and destruction in Iraq than Saddam Hussein himself. And now thanks to the precedence of the Bush administration in Iraq, any U.S. ally with the military capacity can now fabricate reasons for invading other countries, as is the apparent case of Israel's strike in Lebanon, that has reportedly used U.S. weaponry. This has further resulted in thousands more casualties, and other destruction in Lebanon as well as in Afghanistan.

Innocent people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon, now live under the spectre of fear associated with military bombardments from U.S. made weaponry, policies, and related campaigns of oppression.

The Bush administration appears to deviate sharply from the spirit of the Bible embraced by Jesus. However, the Bush administration could be perceived to have a lot in common with two other groups of self-professed "Christians". These self-professed "Christian" leaders include Jim Jones during the late 1970's, and David Koresh in the current U.S. President's home state of Texas.

The continued refusal of Mr. Bush, along with Mr. Harper in Canada, to adopt governmental policies which would reverse Global Warming, further confirms that these representative "neo-conservatives" are not guided by the spirit of Christianity. Like David Koresh and Jim Jones, both Mr. Harper and Mr, Bush instead, appear to represent some kind of religious fanaticism, that purports to be Christian, but which is substantively not.

Like Jim Jones and David Koresh's 'Davidians, the neo-conservatives associated with Mr. Harper and Mr. Bush, use a professed association with religious piety, to try to control followers to sacrifice their well-being for promises of "glory".

Like Jim Jones and David Koresh, Mr. Harper and Mr. Bush seize on manufactured enemies in their contrived co-sponsored "War on Terrorism", to build a siege mentality among followers, that blinds them to the self-absorbed purposes of a leadership clique.

If Prime Minister Harper in Canada, and U.S. President Bush represented substantively "Christian-inspired political groups, both Harper and Bush would have been critically showing leadership on going even beyond the Kyoto Protocols toward the reversing of Global Warming. It appears that the non-Christian religious fanatical cliques of neo-conservatives represented by Mr. Harper and Mr. Bush are seeking to use Global Warming trends to destroy the Earth along with all living creatures, based upon some kind of "apocalyptical vision". Indeed, Jim Jones who led a mass-suicide, and David Koreshm also shared an "apocalyptical" vision.

What other conclusion can be drawn about a group which continues to pursue policies which ignore scientific evidence, and are obviously not inspired by any "conventional" world religion? Any government guided by Christianity, by other world religions, or by the rationality associated with the self-preservation of the human species, would have sought stop Global Warming, in order to protect the Earth along with its living creatures from destruction.

A agenda of mass deception

Consistent with cults led by Jim Jones and David Koresh's, Mr. Bush, along with the elite owners of mass-media organizations which also support Mr. Harper in Canada, seek to BLIND the masses to ignorance of their jointly sponsored destructive agendas. Indeed, David Koresh, like Mr. Bush, was a personally charming and charismatic leader, which used his ability to persuade, for an agenda of control and oppression. Within this system of control and oppression, the neo-conservative elites of companies from mass-media organizations to Oil companies, for example, seek to cover-up the very dire consequences of their action and inaction.

Mammon: The Key to Understanding the apparent drive of the U.S Bush administration toward the destruction of our planet

Clearly, the apparent religious fanaticism that Mr. Bush represents is not inspired by the spirit of the Bible, which expresses a G-d of lovingkindness, peace, and social justice. As a result, the apparent religious fanaticism of Mr. Bush does not express the apparent teachings of Jesus, expressed by the Bible, as Mr. Bush and his associates claim. Instead, the religious fanaticism of Mr. Bush appears to have been inspired by the "anti-god", Mammon.

Mammon in the Middle Ages and also in diverse civilizations, was viewed to be personified as the "demon of covetousness, richness and injustice". The worshippers of the "anti-god" Mammon, also follow "anti-gospels". These systems of anti-gospels share a vision of society in which "rich" are destined to rule over the poor. Within the mentality of worship for the anti-god Mammon, "right" is defined not by ethics as expressed by Jesus, but by the elite group that has the power to "control its own destiny" throughout military, and other force. Mammon is the same "anti-god" which inspired the 'mysticism' and racial mythologies that are associated with Adolf Hilter's Nazism.

The apparently irrational actions of Mr. Bush-led neo-conservatives, cannot be appreciated as being guided by any disciples of Jesus. However, there appears to be a striking similarity between the beliefs of the cult of Mammon, also revealed in the Bible, and the reckless courses of the "neo-conservatives" that currently threaten our planet.

The apocalyptical prism of apparent worshippers of Mammon, view life to be a struggle between "good" and "evil", in which "good" is defined as support for the objectives of Mammon; and "bad" is any group of interest which does not support Mammon. Thus, Fidel Castro is not bad because he his a "Communist". Mr. Bush led neo-conservatives deal with "pro-U.S. Big Business" Communists in China. Fidel Castro of Cuba as well as by Hugo Chavez in South America are "bad" because they protect poor people, from the ability of U.S. "investors" to pursue their divine right associated with "anti-gods" to pursue and agenda of greed and exploitation. The Muslim world, in the same mentality, must be subject to the control of worshippers of the anti-gods, so that oil and any other riches in the region, can be under the "appropriate" control of the "good" people represented by Mr. Bush, and Mr. Harper (in a junior capacity in Canada), to aid in their struggle against "evil-doers".

"Terrorist" is simply a code word for any group which worshippers of the anti-gods seek to oppress, toward their sought desire to achieve world conquest, via the other code word of "Globalization". "Terrorist" include peace and environmental activists who protest against Big Business exploitation, and "inferior" groups who fight back to defend their lands from the right of the "good" people to bomb foreign territories, occupy lands, and steal local resources.

Globalization and the sought "New World Order"

"Globalization" refers to a process of "cleansing" through transnational corporate consolidations, and orchestrated wars, centred around the "War on Terrorism". The New World Order refers to the sought end result of 'Globalization', in which a small group of elite "good" people have been "victorious" over "inferior races" and other groups, and who would have shown themselves as worthy to the anti-god "Mammon". In the view of these elites who pursue a "New World Order", they would have "earned" the right to control the Earth's remaining resources, and to be victorious 'conquerors'.

Global Warming and War help support the struggle of "good" against "evil"

Global Warming

The U.S. led neo-conservative cult of Mammon prism views Global Warming and war, to be desirable for similar reasons. In the apparent mentality associated with Mammon, Global Warming will make the world less hospitable for "inferior races". These "inferior groups" include "less virile" poor people, and other races in places like Africa, and the Middle East. Indeed, that appears to be the kind of mentality which guided the unenthusiastic response by neo-conservative elites to the Katrina Hurricane disaster which effected a lot of "inferior" groups. In contrast Fidel Castro's Cuba, with a different mentality, saved all lives from the full force of that same Hurricane. In the apparent view of a cult of Mammon, Global Warming, like war in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, all support "an apocalyptical cleansing".

...Ye cannot serve both G-d and Mammon

Science can be viewed as providing a technique for analysing the world. However, it can be used for constructive or destructive purposes. G-d can be abstractly viewed to be an expression of enlightened consciousness that is associated with our spirit as social beings, and which is expressed in our desire to care for each other, and the world in general. In contrast, the interests which Mr. Bush represents are obsessed with possessing "power", and have apparently gravitated to a form or Mammonistic religious fanaticism, reminiscent of Jim Jones and the "Davidians". This apparent religious fanaticism manifests itself into a hideous intelligence that is associated with sadism, bigotry, and cruelty, along with exploitation, greed, and oppression. The apparent worshippers of Mammon self-consume themselves on a never-ending quest for commercial profit, and status; toward a sought "power", through wars and through other intrigues, that can never be satisfied. One "conquest" creates an appetite for another; and another; and yet another, like a crack cocaine drug addict, that keeps searching for that perfect "high" and that never ever obtains it.

Eventually competing factions destroy themselves in inevitable conflict among belligerent groups for the worsening scarcity of resources, as a result of the kind of short sighted environmental policies, such as those which characterize the U.S. Bush administration.

Worshippers of Mammon would view that, in a "competition" against billions of other people on the Earth, with the aid of nuclear and other weapons, they will prevail. These cultists seek to transform the Earth from a "weak planet" with environmental and conditions which foster "inferior" groups, into a New World Order in re-created in the image of an 'Aryan' god. U.S. led Globalization in tandem with the political-military-industrial complex associated with the "War on Terrorism" represent an apparent 'cult of totalitarianism'. This apparent modern cult of Mammon has sold out humanity, and our planet Earth in their self-delusional and fanatical pursuit of venal power.
