That complex scenario that includes, among many other things, that most
often terribly mischaracterized, misunderstood, and overblown, great
battle that will take place southwest of Nazareth on the Plain of
Esdraelon and Valley of Jezreel, overlooked by Mount Meggido from which
name of the battle is derived: Armaggedon.  I was speaking of the
scenario described in Revelation.
ackages"?
Nebuchadnezzar was the great king of Babylon who built the famed Hanging
Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.  It was he who
invaded Judah and took its elite into Babylonian capitivity that lasted
70 years.  Included among those captives were the prophet Daniel and his
friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, of Fiery Furnace fame.
Babylon is located in Iraq, about 50 miles south of Baghdad, and has
been under reconstruction at Saddam's direction for many years.  Saddam
has long imagined himself to be Nebuchadnezzar reincarnate, openly so,
commissioning paintings and posters of himself depicted as such to
promote the idea to the Iraqi populace and the rest of the Middle East
world.

On the contrary, he's helping make Starr's case. <G>  As a government
employed agent of the Dufus Whine House, Blumenthal's activities are not
First Amendment issues, but probable violation of Federal law, and his
little press conference amounted to more of the same.
Exactly right.
Not really - they've only managed to delay judgement.  Everything I see
Starr doing points to his putting together a detailed and strong case of
perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power
that has gone on since before Whitewater and continues to the present
day.

BRUTAL MURDER of MILLIONS of INNOCENT children, women, and men is
beyond rational understanding. Such comments not only trivialize
HUMAN suffering, it makes a mockery of those who have suffered.
By the same token, anyone who buys into Newkirk's bizarre notion
has not only divorced themself from reality, they have also cashed
in their chips on whatever shred of humanity they ever possessed!
The PETAphiles -- and their vegan, anti-fur & enviro-whacko pals
