Revelation
6:8King James Version (KJV)
And
I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
President Elect Donald j trump , and Sarah Palin followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the USA to kill
with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of
Racism and homophobia
All
right wing governments drift to war when their economic policy is in
tatters. The Generals rubbish the peacemakers, the military
industrial complex sharpens up its maw to gobble more and more young
people, it promises employment and skills and instead it excretes
weapons, it promotes the boogie man and keeps us all afraid. It does
not tell you that our allies in the shape of Saudi Arabia, execute
with public beheadings over 600 individuals a year. Isis is an
apocalyptic organisation it believes in a last day of judgement when
in a great battle the infidel will perish. What a gift it presents
for the arms industry, what a gift for the failing cult of austerity,
what a gift for the Far Right and Marine Lepen
No
one taks about the arms trade, the fact that the invasion of Iraq
laid the ground conditions that enabled Isis to appear. They dont
tell you that after the second Gulf War the provinces of Iraq
experienced centralisation, devolved powers were removed and
concentrated on Bagdad, that the Sunni were given no representation.
No
one tells you that during the Reformation and Counter Reformation in
Europe religious toleration we saw similar events that are now
happening in Iraq and Syria and on the streets of Paris and Brussels.
As long as yo think there is only one true faith, that there is only
one right answer then ultimately this leads to the slaughter of
Islamic peoples by the medieval Crusader and to the adherents of Isis
in Paris and in Brussels. To the true believer the person who thinks
differently is essentially a spiritual serial killers murdering the
truth. If you are Queen Mary in the 16th century burning the early
Protestants, or Calvin in Geneva acting the other way round you
create Theocratic Societies where your truth is the only truth.
European tolerance did not come from negotiation..it came because
nether side could win. Islam and the Arab Spring have begun an
Islamic Reformation. Corbyn, the Green party, Russel Brand have begun
a challenge to the Neo-liberalism religion of bame and projection .
We are at a major turning point in perceptions both across Europe and
across the Middle East
