Since the time of the Romans and probably even earlier One World Empires have been the dream of megalomaniacs.
Tragedy and Hope by Quigley is also an interesting read, 1300 pages.
I would like to suggest something that I would encourage others to check out via scripture, though I believe it is true.
The false religion will be based on pride. It will admire itself and live on its self admiration.
The Christian faith will be based on love. It receives gifts gratefully from the Lord and treats them as such (or in our yet incomplete salvation, we attempt to treat them that way, which God still honors and will correct as needed).
Anyhow, that divide (pride vs. love) seems to me the most stark difference between the phony and the real faith when they come head to head like this. Right now phony faiths haven’t often managed to ape full-on Christianity very well. Satan’s current bonds are not loosed enough to permit this. Still, Christianity will always outclass phony faiths. Genuine love for God won’t be able to be hidden. People with that love may err sometimes, but God will correct those errors with His grace.
Just what I needed to cheer me up this morning.
The publishing date is 2002 ... is there any inkling of obama in that book?
I actually think that they want two classes of people: Atheists and Muslims. Atheists will be a minority (5-10%), but will take care of the science, technology and management. Muslims will make up the general population of workers and consumers.
In the eyes of the Elites, the latter is preferable to any other religion because they will do whatever the Mullahs tell them to do. If a Mullah can convince someone to be a suicide bomber for Allah, convincing them to pay higher taxes should be a piece of cake.

The left hasn't changed an iota.
The apparition is approved. The prophecies have since been tampered with.
REad sources very carefully
Always be careful of misinformation regarding the Catholic church, especially because the true account will always, always, be available.
The enemy hates and fears the Blessed Mother, of course, and will distract as much as possible.
Any apparition should bring faith, hope and love, not dread and fear. And there are Many apparitions that have not been approved by the Vatican, and I find it always good to ignore them.
It’s really a case of don’t believe everything you read.

“...Some of this misinformation was propagated by Melanie herself in her later years, most infamously in an 1879 tract that was placed on the Index of Prohibited Books, yet still enjoys popularity among traditionalist publishers misled by the imprimatur of the bishop of Lecce. Those who have only casual knowledge of the story of La Salette may easily mistake this extravagantly embellished apocalyptic narrative as the true content of the revelation,...
...To correct these common misunderstandings of the message of La Salette, it is essential to return to the original accounts,
‘A Woman Clothed With the Sun’ is a good account of the approved apparitions.
Always look on the pub. page for the:
Imprimatur
and the
Nihil Obstat
Otherwise it’s a waste of time and effort (and fear) as anyone can make anything up even with the best intentions.
Lao Tzu wrote about crazies wanting to rule the world 2500 years ago. He was making the point that they never succeed.
Nothing changes. The 1%’ers are still trying.
Thanx ... saved twenny bucks
Any one can say anything about the church and they can make it look authentic. It took me a while to find something authentic about that apparition, and I know what I’m looking for.
Save yourself some trouble if you ever want to read about the church, or something apparently approved by the church go to a catholic bookstore and even then look for approval of the tome by a priest, bishop, cardinal or Pontiff:
Imprimatur
Nihil Obstat, as I said earlier

I guess they forgot about the Tower of Babel
Thanks for the BEEP!
