Iran: The Pale Horse Approaches
'Doomsday Clock' to move closer to Armageddon
Is this particular sub-headline too provocative? Keep in mind that the Armageddonists have moved from the fringe of the Republican Party to it's core....
Jeff Sharlet's essay, Through a Glass, Darkly in Harper's Magazine December 2006 on how the Christian right is reimagining U.S. history illuminates their power in U.S. politics.
His previous essay for Harper's appears here:
Soldiers of Christ, Thursday, November 2, 2006. Originally from May 2005.
The Armageddonist influence on the Bush Administration is extraordinary.

If you have any doubts that the neocons and the Armageddonists controlling U.S. foreign policy are not trying to bring Iran down with nukes, spreading radioactive fallout worldwide,... try giving your head a shake.
And perhaps join me in my new exercise program. I bend over and try to kiss my a** goodbye.
Not convinced, yet? Read the following:

Risky Game of Risk: MAUREEN DOWD - 'I feel good about the new war with Iran'
Then go on to this:
it's imperative that as many Americans as possible read these articles and view this video clip to understand just how insane these people are.
Between them and the israelis the world doesn't stand a chance. This will end very badly for everyone.
As usual, the controlled media dare not mention the State of Israel's secret nuclear program and warhead arsenal.
My recent blog entry sheds the light on this intentional omission.
It is the State of Israel that is pushing America into the cage of steel with Iran, Syria, Russia(?) and China(?) as the fiercest opponents.
Christian Zionists and the deluded army of Christian/Jewish fundamentalists egg on the corrupt and self-deluded (hard power speaking) elements of U.S. government to challenge Iran so their sick desire to bring upon the world an Armageddon and ascend to heaven in the midst of the chaos of the annihilating force of a thousand suns.
They are true misanthropes. The civilized human race do not need such horror brought upon the world in yet another major (on global scale) war that John Kennedy had warned strenuously with a severe concern for what would transpire under the circumstance of madness for revenge, bloodlust and spectacle of total wars: "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind".
Nuclear weapon effects calculator which measure the great mass of destructive energy. This I refer to as "lick of the Thousand Suns".

"If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of the nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The people of this world must unite or they will perish... The atomic bomb has spelled them out for all men to understand. Other men have spoken them in other times, and of other wars, of other weapons. They have not prevailed. There are some misled by a false sense of human history, who hold that they will not prevail today. It is not for us to believe that. By our minds we are committed, committed to a world united, before the common peril, in law and in humanity."
Physicist / Literal Father of atomic bomb J. Robert Oppenheimer (cited in the May 2005 speech by Secretary-General to the U.N. in Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference)

My blog Last Throes of US Empire
Check out the information on how many megatons was detonated on Tsar Bomba and its estimated impact spot in measuring (see diagram) compared to previous records of nuclear detonations, on human city population and as ground/water/air test subjects.
Refer to the preceding post for a link to Nuclear weapon effects calculator and your mind will be boggle at the sheer awesome force. It is truly unholy in perverted craving for utter destruction of life should the all-out nuclear war come true.
Tsar Bomba remains the largest detonation on record (Google documentary video).
It is said the demonstration was so monstrous the Russians still have not declassified the information on the true nature of the impact and its aftermath in terms of measurement and fallout among the scientific analysis.

I see you guys have added great links,commentary, and excerpts to the main post. Thanks.
He's a related story I ran across this morning:
The Church-State Alliance threatening the future of humanity
Here's another related story, this one by Robert Parry, the guy who broke the Iran-Contra scandal:
The Logic of a Wider Mideast War
Also, some intel just in informing me Putin has ordered all subs away from the U.S. East Coast, in anticipation of an assault on Iran.
So soon?
Be advised this intelligence is sole source and remains unconfirmed at the moment.
If this is coming out as a US government 'leak' now, perhaps like the Iraq 'surge'it will be launched as the story surfaces.

Traditional media wakes up and retells what bloggers have been saying for days:
Newsweek: Has Bush Ordered Secret War on Iran?
The U.S. plan calls for a strike on Iran before their only Iraq ally Blair steps down in the spring:
