Leo Strauss Has A Plan For Your Life.

adrien rain burke

Well, for OUR lives - all of them, in fact. A philosophy of government akin

to Machiavelli's, wherein wise, yet jaundiced, covert rulers, under cover of

some useful front man, manipulate a trusting herd into war and complacent

obedience. And his followers - the neo-conservatives, or neocons - don't

stop at OUR borders. Even while we send our kids to die in the Iraqi

Quagmire and the failed Afghanistan state or satrapy (not much in the news

these days - a bit of an embarrassment, really), Feith, Wolfowitz, and

Perle, apparently shrugging off spy scandals and exposes, are busily

planning regime change in Iran, and god knows where else - they've got quite

a list. It is good to be one of the elite. . . . .

The current trend in church\/state convergence can't be understood without

some knowledge of our modern Machiavelli, Leo Strauss:

But that's not all, because there is another aspect to this strange schema.

Dominionism, Christian Reconstructionism, etc., and THEIR plan for our lives

(you really need to know this stuff):

This is clearly not the America of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and

the rest, although it waves the red, white and blue at every opportunity.

Funny if the Constitution were destroyed under cover of Old Glory. . . .

The real question now is which of these intriguing designs is really guiding

our government now? Are the Straussians slyly using Christian Reconstruction

to bring about Straussian's dream theocracy, secretly controlled by

atheistic philosopher.kings? OR are the Dominionists cleverly using the

neocons to get into power, after which it will be fairly easy to dispense

with the pointy-headed bastards (possibly on the stake)?



And which side is George Bush REALLY on? He seems to give the secret

handshake to both camps. He's appointed more thn a score of Straussians to

highly influential positions in intelligence and strategic planning.

Basically, they made our last two wars, using what they once fantasized

about as a fortuitous \"new Pearl Harbor\" (9\/11) to stir up those

cud-chewing masses. September 11 must have been a godsend for them - oh

that's right, they don't really believe in God (in fact, Strauss thought the

whole idea was silly) -they just think everybody else should. Certainly

their liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan hasn't worked out as smoothly as it

did on paper - but then it is in no way finished yet. They mean to

'liberate' the whole Middle East!

But W speaks - when he isn't speaking directly to God - to the

Reconstructionists and Dominionists, with whom he consults before making

certain policy decisions - regarding Israel for instance. He is the first

president ever to ignore the Council of Churches completely, in favor of

those dreaming of nuclear holocaust to bring about their post-apocalypstic

Utopia, ruled by Jesus. A friend points out that Jesus might object to these

warlike endeavors, and the accompanying destruction - but she is going by

what Jesus said about those who live by the sword, dying by the sword. That

pacifist, anti-imperial Jesus is not very popular during the building of

empires - never has been. Meanwhile their agenda for the US is pure

theocracy. (I know I have no right to criticize, but I do miss that other

old Jesus - the one who said stuff like \"blessed are the peacemakers. . .\")

Or maybe George II doesn't represent either side. Maybe he simply represents

the ultra-rich of the world - the Saudi royals, with whom the Bushes have

hobnobbed with, for instance, or that other royal family with whom his

family tediously boasts blood kinship. And don't forget that his father

accepted a knighthood after his miserable term as the mere, so

easily-replaceable, elected head of a drab old republic. Well, it is tireome

to be fired by a pack of commoners. . . . Of course Bush the elder ALSO went

to work pitching for the Rev. Godhead Sun Moon for a few millions between

gigs, so maybe we shouldn't read too much into the knighthood. Maybe he just

collects trophies - and after all, Reagan knelt before the Queen for a

dubbing when HE left office. Then there's the sinister Skull and Bones

bunch - with influence in government far beyond their numbers for decades,

and now TWO candidates for our highest office. (Perhaps the Bonesmen are

pulling ALL the strings!)

Then consider stuff he does. Like the tax cuts, most of which go to the very

very rich - while payroll taxes (the ones that come out of workers' checks)

keep going up - and no one mentions them. You have to favor a quick

Armageddon to favor his Social Security scheme, as well - unless you're so

rich that the paltry sum it provides retirees is less than chump change for

you. Or, while praising the young, working class soldiers he has sent to his

war for oil, cutting veterans' benefits and hazard pay. The No Child Left

Behind Act an unfunded mandate for excellence (or else), is guaranteed to

leave many low income schools - and low income children - way behind. Talk

about Class Warfare! But no one calls it that - the Democrats won't speak up

for the poor and low income working class, the homeless, even kids growing

up n homeless shelters - because they're afraid of being accused of . . . .

.class warfare! And didn't Clinton put the poor aside with his \"welfare

reform?\" No Democrat in his right mind would openly contradict their slimy

Golden Boy.

Maybe the only cause the ruling class cares about is its own. . . . . .
