Leo Strauss Has A Plan For Your Life.
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 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:
Leo Strauss' Philosophy of Deception
By Jim Lobe, AlterNet. Posted May 19, 2003.
" Many neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz are disciples of a philosopher who
believed that the elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual
war to control the ignorant masses."

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):
Gary North in 1989 candidly described his mission: "The long-term goal of
Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise.
Those who refuse to submit to the eternal sanctions of God ... must be denied
citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel."
Marietta's Pastor Morecraft in 1993 proclaimed that the government he wants to
create has this as its primary purpose: "Terrorize evil-doers. ... Bring down
the wrath of God to bear on all those who practice evil."

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 more importantly, 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.
But W speaks - when he isn't speaking 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 hoping for nuclear
holocaust to bring about their post-apocalyptic Utopia, ruled by Jesus.
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, 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 tiresome to be fired by a pack of commoners. . . . Of course Bush
the elder ALSO went to work pitching for the Rev. Godhead Sun Moon, so maybe
we shouldn't read too much into the knighthood. Maybe he just collects
trophies. 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!)
Or maybe the only cause our ruling class cares about is its own. . . . . .
