I do not need to tell you how happy Israel would be if it can trick the world's Christians and Muslims into killing each other off. Are you smart enough to avoid such a cheap trick? Or are you one of those people, so eager to condemn religious rule in the Mideast yet ready to impose it here in the USA, despite the First Amendment?
Before we start screaming about a return to Christianity, let us recall just exactly what that has meant for the world.
When the Black Plague roared across Europe, millions died as infected fleas found the filthy bodies of Europeans a comfortable home. Of course, the means to prevent or minimize the Black Plague were known, indeed had been known since the time of the great Egyptian physician Imhotep. All it took was simple hygiene and sanitation. But Imhotep's medical advice was lost when Christians burned the Great Library of Alexandria. Christians were told to avoid Roman-style public bathing as a sin because of the nude display of ones body, and few people had private baths. Monks practiced avoidance of bathing as an ascetic exercise and discouraged bathing among their congregations. When the Plague arrived, monks called flagellants proceeded to engage in public displays of self-mutilation, moving from town to town, soliciting donations, and whipping themselves publicly. In the process, they sprayed the crowd with their own infected blood. The crowd, imagining that the blood was holy and would protect them, did not wipe it off. Instead of ending the plague, the Christian flagellants spread it even further.
The end of over-population, coupled with the arrival
of the Medieval warm period produced a golden age called the
Renaissance, whose surplus of food allowed the building of great
architectural wonders including Cathedrals, and as man started to
realize that the Bible did not have the answers, the flowering of
science. Many of the science treatises destroyed at Alexandria had been
copied by Arabic scholars and started to find their ways back into
Europe. The church, aware it was losing its monopolistic grip on the
people, fought back, with the abuses of Galileo and Giordano Bruno
typical examples of the Unholy inquisition.
Then the little ice age hit. Food production collapsed and starvation fell across the world. Church leaders, uninterested in science, set about trying to find a group of people to blame for the calamity (not unlike Al Gore and the Warmistas today), and launched the witch burning times. Even though the Potato had already been introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers to the New World, the church declared that any plant growing under the soil was the product of the devil, and one risked ones soul eating it. As a result, standing on a nearly inexhaustible food supply, millions starved to death.
And before you all start screaming about how this was all long ago, please remember that witch burnings were still taking place in Mexico and South America and India well into the 1990s. The Inquisition, supposedly officially ended in 1836, was actually renamed to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, an institution that exists to this very day. The current Pope was previously the head of the CDF/Inquisition. Our veil of civilization lying over religious hysteria is wearing thin indeed.
Meanwhile, let us look at the benefits of a world ruled by the Christian religion, shall we?






"Entering the city [Jerusalem, July 15, 1099], our pilgrims pursued and killed Saracens up to the Temple of Solomon, in which they had assembled and where they gave battle to us furiously for the whole day so that their blood flowed throughout the whole temple. Finally, having overcome the pagans, our knights seized a great number of men and women, and the killed whom they wished and whom they wished they let live.... Then, rejoicing and weeping from extreme joy, our men went to worship at the sepulchre of jour Saviour Jesus and thus fulfilled their pledge to Him.... They also ordered that all the Saracen dead should be thrown out of the city because of the extreme stench, for the city was almost full of their cadavers. The live Saracens dragged the dead out before the gates and made piles of them, like houses. No one has ever heard of or seen such a slaughter of pagan peoples since pyres were made of them like boundary marks, and no one except God knows their number." -- [Histoire anonyme de la premiere croisade, L. Brehier, ed. Paris: Champion, 1924 (From The Portable Medieval Reader, Ed. James Bruce Ross and Mary Martin McLaughlin)]

The Banker and his Special-Purpose Financial Vehicles is The Milkmaid and her Pail
Everyone knows the phrase,
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch," but do you remember
that it came from Aesop's Fable of The Milkmaid and her Pail?
After milking the farmer's cows, a milkmaid was carrying the pail of milk on
her head to the dairy and thinking to herself, "With the cream that I
shall get from this milk I can make some butter, which I'll take to market and
sell. I'll buy some eggs with the money, and when hatched I'll have some
chickens for a poultry yard. I can sell the poultry, and with the money I'll
buy a fine gown to wear to the fair. All the young men will admire me and make
advances, but I shall toss my head and dismiss them". At which, lost in
her ambitious thoughts, she did toss her head, dropping the pail and the milk
on the ground, dashing her dreams.
Now imagine the milkmaid standing there as if you happened to be walking by her
at that moment....really imagine it. Think about the people going about their
lives as a huge pail of milk is spilled right next to and on them by this
fanciful, careless girl. She freezes as does everyone in her immediate area,
and stands there wide-eyed and drop-jawed.
Now imagine that in the one second as everyone is momentarily frozen, whether
as about to laugh or get angry, perhaps because this milkmaid has been warned of
this sort of thing many times before, the milkmaid starts shrieking and lashing
out at everyone around her! She blames everyone she sees, including you, for
watching and causing her to drop the milk. She cries and wails and even gnashes
her teeth at you for your complicity in the tragedy.
A peace-officer, attracted by the noise and scuffle, who just happens to be the
farmer's brother and the milkmaid's distant cousin, barges onto the scene and
bellies up to you and the rest of the crowd to leave the girl alone! To settle
the milkmaid down, the first thing the officer does is grab a pail of milk from
the first milkmaid he sees and gives it to her.... but she doesn't want it and
gets more upset. She huffs and sobs as she whispers all the things she's lost into
his ear, but he understands what he must do.
After telling everyone in the area to freeze and not leave, the officer blows
his whistle and brings the rest of the brigade over to surround you and the
rest of the others who saw what had happened, but you notice that they are also
including people who had no idea what had happened as they came onto the scene
afterward.
With little clarification, it is announced that more than milk was lost, but
also butter and money from it, eggs and money from them, chickens and the money
from them, and finally, the wealth and influence as exemplified by a fine
gown--all of which can only be replaced by YOUR money.
The brigade strips everyone of their money, but the milkmaid says that it is
not worth as much as she would have made. So from that day forward, the officer
and his brigade go to the home of each of the people in town and extract the
money from their pockets. Some of the brigade even travel to other places where
extended families of the town had settled and extract money from their pockets.
Can you imagine that? Well, don't worry if you cannot, you've been living it!
You see,
The milkmaid is the banker class, the farmer is the owner class.
The milk is asset-backed securities or collateralized-debt obligations that
were created by securitization.
The butter, eggs, and chickens are all derivatives leveraged against the milk.
The brigade is the congress and Fed.
Last year, the milk was spilled by the bankers and the BAILOUT they demanded
was not for the milk, but for the $4 Quadrillion worth of derivatives that
never existed.
So, while you are acting prudently with your milk, and Not counting your
chickens yet, where is the bailout money--YOUR TAX MONEY going?
Simple, Its going to pay milk for gowns from butter for eggs of chickens for
milk for gowns from butter for eggs of chickens for milk for gowns from butter
for eggs of chickens which don't exist yet and the wealth and influence that
has been lost by their continued non-existence!
