The Armageddon Lobby

Dispensationalist Christian Zionism and the Shaping of US Policy Towards Israel-Palestine

Abstract
This article investigates the history of contemporary Christian Zionism in the United States and the impact of this movement on US policy issues related to Israel-Palestine. Dispensationalist Christian Zionists, often described the 'Armageddon lobby', make up the largest voting bloc in the Republican Party and have become a mainstay in US politics. More recently, the Christian Zionist lobby has had a profoundly damaging impact on the Israeli-Palestinian 'peace process' as well as creating a conspiracy of silence regarding Israeli offensives in the occupied Palestinian territories. Though the 'Armageddon lobby' has been successful in its efforts as a pro-Israel lobby, its influence is in fact counterproductive to Israel because the lobby hinders the prospect of Israel living in peace because of their policy of deterring the progression of negotiations.

Out of concern I share this important article, concern that is all.

Update: 11/7/06 On this day, this issue is of up-most importance. Especially if you are religious, the importance to me is privacy, intrusion into personal issues by government where it don't need to be what ever your button this pushes it. The religious rights march into the politics of government have moved us away from our republic that upholds our democracy. Theocracy Watch is a good place to start, you hear the crap on the news how hypocritical these folks can be, just find out how cynical they can also be, it is a conspiracy I tell you. Steve Weissman has written another informative issue of articles that covers the works of these revisionist, Dispensationalist have accomplished over the years. And other links here to 'The Family', the political training grounds targeting community governments, grassroots. These articles I site are close to my view, if you take the time to read.

Consciousness Seeing Red: A Study in Consciousness and the Review, read and wonder how it relates to autism.

My own conscious won’t let this go unsaid, the media, The Dubya Administration of Distraction and Delusion have deliberately hid from us the true number of Iraqis whom have died as a result of war sense the March 2003 invasion and sense occupation. While occupation in it’s very meaning by the worlds super power would garner some type of controls to monitor and evaluate civilian casualties for valuable statistical data on munitions evaluation. It is an old and tired issue but it’s nearly new again.

“ Will Media Finally Count the Dead in Iraq? From the beginning, the U.S.
military refused to count -- and the American media rarely probed -- civilian
casualties as the result of our invasion of Iraq in 2003. Now a new study places
the number at 600,000, more or less. Why is the AP playing up the view that the
report is nothing but "politics"? By Greg Mitchell (October 11, 2006) -- From
the beginning, the U.S. military refused to count -- and the American media
rarely probed -- civilian casualties as the result of our invasion of Iraq in
2003.

…

Now today comes a shocking study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health -- to be published Thursday by Lancet, a leading medical journal -- based on very detailed (and no doubt dangerous) field work. It suggests that more than 600,000 Iraqis have met a violent or otherwise war-related end since the U.S. arrived in March 2003. Even now, however, The Associated Press casts a very skeptical eye on the study, emphasizing the views of one “expert” (as the AP describes him) who charges that it is nothing but "politics,” with the November election approaching.”

During lapse in new posting to WoWonder I urge you to read the archives or keep up on more regularly updated links listed in the sidebars. The links are so incomplete, maybe soon with a new tools and equipment there you may find some extreme updating, soon. Colder weather may prove to provide more time but until that colder weather comes, well I am on hiatus officially. Not posting regular, but a simile-spontaneous update of reads I not what I intended WoWonder to be, but it has become that which it is. Wander the trials I have marked with care and till when a spontaneous burst of unavoidable blogjonesitious causes more unpredictable updating at WoWonder, see ya. Will return emails, and moderate comments to post.
