**** I see events like this present one unfolding, as each group tries to unleash their form of world dominance. The question is can they pull enough groups together to pull it off. I dont know but I suspect they have differences of opinion within their various factions such that they will not join in a total alliance to dominate. ****
Being quite religious, I see a hidden hand behind the curtain. What else can cause so diverse and wide spread peoples to mount such a herculian task. I mean, defeating the entire western world ... that's a pretty big bite to take.
The leaders of the Islamist terrorist movement have, many of them, been at this for thirty years or more. Many of them have advanced degrees from the most prestigeous western schools (yes maybe this IS the real problem). They are having great success. The Moslem world IS uniting despite age old deep seated schisms. (witness Iran as foremost amoung the oldest leadership reaching out to Saudis, Sudanese, Yemens, etc etc etc)
This event is supernatural in character. Just as the rise of facism around the globe simultaeously in the 1930s. I firmly believe that earthly evil is augmented by a hierchical structure of spiritual beings and that they are all working together on this one.
1. The Constitution is less important than my agenda.
Those in the military who take their oath seriously, will NOT go against the authority of the civil government.
****1. The Constitution is less important than my agenda.****
Or the converse: In prosecuting my agenda I wll falsely use the constitution against the citizens of The USA.
When enumerated rights are used as an excuse to aid and abett terr enemies in our own land .... and then we hawks who advocate deportation are called 'unamerican' ... this is indeed standing the world upon it's head.
I wish to extend this analysis to those who cry about their personal conveniences and call them freedoms in the face of world war begun and now being prosecuted on our own soil against civillians. Mass murder. To these people I say "Go soak your head". It's our government and if we wish to enhance its law enforcement powers for a while and then retract them after the earth shattering danger is past ... so be it.
Don't be too quick to discount the citizens of this great nation. Military is for protecting the nation, not for police work. Do you really think a citizen would be convicted by a jury of his peers, for whacking a terrorist?
