Letters from Babylon

To: Lucifer, Prince of the World

From: Dracma, Overlord of Babylon

Subject: The Clever Ruse

Illustrious evil master! I have these Christians wrapped around my little wing. The greatest ruse of all is that I have them believing the exact opposite of true to be true. So as our deception unfolds, they will take the bait hook, line and sinker. Now as you know, as Overlord of Babylon/Amerika, I can trick my subjects coming and going with regard to the true identity and nature of their country. Some of the Christians believe that America has been chosen by "you know who" to save the world. Still other Christians believe that since America is not found in prophecy, it has to be brushed aside. Now I have cleverly spun the two tales so that most will believe either one or the other. Let's look at each position. It doesn't matter which side they take. Both play into our hands!!!

Amerika, the Savior Nation

Most American Christians have been brought up to believe by parents, church and schools that America is a very special nation, chosen by G_d to be a force for good on the earth. Now the key to a good deception is to get them to believe one thing and do another. Right? Well, all the time they think they are bringing their "CDC" to the world (CDC stands for Christianity, Democracy and Capitalism), they are in fact extending our empire and control over the whole earth. Since the end of the Great War (WW II), the U.S. spread its influence through the whole world by buying up controlling shares of bankrupt corporations in foreign countries and then opening American markets to their products. This scheme got Americans hooked on cheap foreign products and the world hooked on the dollar. Then we created a "straw man" enemy called "communism" for Amerika to fight around the world extending its political, military and economic influence. Economic control came through the IMF, World Bank and corporate boardrooms - a global empire controlled by Babylon (Amerika) the Great!

With the fall of "Communism", Amerika needed a new enemy and excuse to spread military intimidation and economic hegemony throughout the world and found it in "terrorism" - a wonderfully amorphous enemy no one can easily see or find, but that is everywhere and nowhere - that can strike at any time in any place. Plus, we can connect terrorists to Islam! Yeah! Back to the best kind of war - a holy war! Pit the two miserable religions against one another! There is no better war than a war between civilizations with crusading fervor of religion! Just think of the zeal the two sides can have as they go for each other's throats! Wipe each other out in the name of their G_ds! What a deal - like killing two birds with one stone!

So here's what we did. We got the "fat cat" elites, who had all the money but no votes together with the "Christian" leaders who could provide the votes but had no money. We mix in a little patriotism, family values, morality and the fear of Muslim terrorists who would think nothing of strapping a bomb on their bodies and blowing themselves up and taking as many as possible with them. Then we add to the mix Israel and the fear of losing the "Holy Land," as the Jews are annihilated by a billion fanatics carrying out a "Jihad" against them. Then we add a little doctrine we have recently been able to "mainstream" in evangelical churches and that is the idea that the church has to establish dominion over the earth before "you know who" can come back. This plays right into our hands! Big business, Christians and the Amerikan government unite to bring salvation to the world! What a plan! And they do it in the name of G_D - not realizing it is for You, the god of this world behind it all!

So, here we go - whipping the churches into a patriotic frenzy in a civilization conflict of worldwide proportions! Good guys against the bad guys! Bringing truth, justice, capitalism and democracy to the world! What a deal! And those naïve, trusting Christians believe every word of it. They listen to their pastors pump out the patriotic blather week after week as they send their young people off to fight a holy war! The flock goes out and buys sheets of plastic and duct tape to get ready for the worst but believing good will surely triumph over evil!

Amerika, the Irrelevant!

Well, I realize this is terribly clever, but not all Christians buy into it so, my Illustrious Evil Master, I have another game plan. Some of the old-line evangelicals still believe in two basic things, which play right into our little scheme. We have convinced them they won't be here and that Amerika is not found in prophecy. Now this little slight of hand (making the worlds greatest empire disappear) would make Houdini or David Copperfield green with envy! How do we do it? Remove the Christians by the rapture or destroy America, or do both. Some actually feel that since America is the most "Christian" nation in the world and that by removing the best from the land, it will be reduced to a banana republic. Now let's look at this deception in more detail.

Old-line evangelicals believe that they, the true Christians, will be snatched right out of the world just before you come to power. I call it the Great Escape! Yep! They exit "stage left." The subtle part of this is that if they are gone, why care what happens next? As a practical matter, this little doctrine of the rapture makes the whole issue of "our agenda" irrelevant to them because they think they aren't here. The "unsaved" are "left behind". (Hey, cool name for a Best Seller, isn't it?) So I pave the way for "Your Man" to come to power with their support, do a deal with Israel and they never suspect a thing… because after all, this couldn't really be happening since they are still here! So we just pull the old wool over their eyes and the unsuspecting sheep are led to the slaughter!!! What a plan!!!!!!!!!!

We don't want them to ever suspect something is up, because if they ever saw Amerika for what she really is - the inheritor of the mantle of Babylon the Great, the greatest economic, military, political and even "religious" power the earth has ever had, our little scheme would be exposed…(no, no, we don't want that)… Let the little crusader rabbits strut around thinking they are doing G_d's work! But we have to throw a little more chicanery to the mix. Their "so called" Bible scholars are so dense, their pastors and teachers have been telling them for years - don't worry. Amerika is not mentioned in prophecy! Its not there! Nope, the problem is anywhere but there. Amerika is a Christian nation. The antichrist will come from Europe, Russia, the Middle East, but certainly not the old U.S. of A. They say, "after all, our forefathers came here to find religious freedom and to build a "republic, one nation under G_d with liberty and justice for all." Amen. That brings tears to my eyes! But they actually believe it.

This gets a little complicated, but I can twist and turn the concept to fit each particular disposition. Some feel that since you can't find a word about America in the Bible, it just doesn't matter. Others believe Amerika is a sinful nation and needs to be wiped out by judgment so Europe can take her rightful place in prophecy. Whatever. Since they can't find a specific reference to Amerika in the Bible, they assume it isn't there and is not important. They have been taught the great end time power will be Europe or some other country (good thing they missed the "little horn"). So they just dismiss it. If it ain't in the Book, it ain't worth worrying about. At least, so their "scholars" conclude and teach.

Few see her true nature, the evil we have sewn into her fabric. Now here's the deal. We create the problems - crime, drugs, rebellion, ruin of the family and all and then we come up with the solution - a righteous government that does away with abortion, gets tough on crime, promotes family values and fights the ungodly terrorists! We ruin the Christians by bringing unprecedented prosperity to America and then make the offer of freedom and prosperity to the world…and of course, the world covets that wealth.

So we get the Christians to be comfortable, fat and lazy. We bring along a terrible enemy - terrorism, an evil bloodthirsty religion and nations to comprise an "axis of evil". We declare war on the unrighteous, ungodly and offer to cut them in on the "good life" or else. We lull Christians to sleep with the comfortable knowledge that if the antichrist were to come to power they would be gone before hand and that Amerika is the only force for good left in the world so it certainly couldn't be a problem. Some think that perhaps "good" Amerika will be destroyed after their "great escape" which will give the real antichrist his opportunity to come to power in Europe, Russia or even Iraq. But they can't conceive of the fact that the church and Amerika could possibly be the problem - that the Christian leaders and mainline churches are backing the business elites and Amerikan government in their world conquest. They are in denial! It never could be!

So you see, the deception is complete. Christians are unwittingly on our side, supporting our rise to power and working toward their own demise. I would call this nothing less than brilliant! I am convinced, illustrious Master, that we can rewrite the "Book" - and come up with a much better ending. So working to that end, I will share more of my dastardly deeds with you next time…

This is your humble servant Dracma, writing from my great territory, Amerika, the New Babylon the Great, our ticket to KINGDOM POWER!!!

Insincerely,

Dracma, Overlord of Babylon
