sending the West into a prolonged depression.Here we are seeing the rationalle for attacking Iran based on our possible future economic pain.
Arjay,
That is the agenda ! That's the religious' fanatics' tactic to gradually gain control. Their rationalé is working. Hence more & more trouble spots for the West to think it has to go in & save them by depleting it's own security. But hey, the westerners are so smart.

Individual,I don't think that the religious fanatics are orchestrating a global depression.Have a look at the Global Reserve Banks who finance our Govts and the War machines who profit from it.

Good old Arjay :)

mate...you structured that scenario about as close as anyone could get without quoting some fairly heavy duty Biblical Texts for ARMAGEDDON.

Forget about the 'NeoCon Right/evangelicals' supporting Israel.. sheesh.. the bigger picture is much bigger than that.

All I can say people is... 'watch this/(that) space'....

And if the going get's a little rough (and I'm sure it will) some reflection on Matthew 24 might do us all some good.

If things start to pan out as you say Arjay..some of the sad mocking from certain elements on this forum will quite possibly turn and become "please tell us more" !....

Well..I can do that right now, the Gospel is not complicated.

All you have to do is look at the message Jesus brought when he began his ministry

"The time has come, the Kingdom of God is near, repent and believe in the Good news" Mark 1.15

AIR,Did you watch 60 minutes tonight? Terrorism is no longer the big threat.China is now the big threat for being so successful.We are have increased defence expenditure by $10 billion pa.The Military industrial complex are on the march again pushing for war with China.Just one of their new hyper sonic missiles are worth $ 1 million and we the sucker tax payer will oblige,like all the other contrived wars to line the pockets of the elites.

So AIR,if we go to war against China to line the pockets of the International Banksters and the arms dealers,what will our economy look like? Will you send your sons to be cannon fodder for bankster profit? Perhaps your shares in the banks will compensate for the death of your children.

Arjay,
There's one big difference you rather conveniently fail to draw attention to & that is that it is one story to defend one's borders against intruders & another to have to fight the intruder already within. So, do you prefer to bring up your sons to be prisoners in the country of their birth & be slaves to the invaders by stealth ?

10 minutes of 60 minutes and you've got it sorted. lol

China being the threat was one man's opinion, Arjay. HIS opinion was that it wasn't "a man in a cave", but China. That doesn't make it a reality. They do exercises that simulate attacks from EVERYWHERE. That's their job.
