GEORGE BUSH: ‘GOD TOLD ME TO END TYRANNY IN IRAQ’
This article and photo appeared in the Guardian News on 7 Oct 2005:
President told Palestinians God also talked to him about Middle East peace.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0%2C12271%2C1586978%2C00.html
Don’t you just admire this and numerous other similarly composed “subliminally suggestive” photos portraying people in power as some type of divine messenger.
Whilst G-d was on the subject George, He didn’t happen to mention anything about ending the tyranny in the White House as well did He!

it's disgusting as eating a tubfull of raw offal.
intuitively, it appears all part of the neocon's plan to set-up the crusades again. seems like those pesky muslims just refuse to become wired into the new world order matrix.
so, when will the neocons invade iran 2008?
this accomplishes two objectives.
1. christians with heart are thrown into the mob of christians of hate, therefore strengthening humanistic arguments for abolition of all religious belief (third way statism).
2. increasing divisiveness of religions worldwide, which in turn supports the first objective. see, one nation under god WAS divisible and not free, continuing that to remove god is to render the "global" new world "nation" indivisible and free.
mankind..so apt to repeat the mistakes of history. |

This image portraying George Bush as a saint is almost intolerable. There has been more damage done to the world as a result of his imposition upon us and of those behind him than any good.
Saints are recognized and revered for their good deeds towards mankind and their wisdom. Where is the intelligence and inspiration in this man’s actions for creating a better world?

It would indeed seem that such a statement and symbolism is designed to incite further hatred from the Middle East and division in the world. This made a lot of headline news here..... it is obviously intended for worldwide public consumption. |

| Hmmm. It also looks like the image might have been subject to a little Photoshop magic. The shadow and light at the transition points between his head and the background look as though they could have been enhanced here and there... |

Sounds a lot like the Divine Right of Kings. This would explain a lot about Bush's attitude to just about everything, particularly his refusal to acknowledge mistakes etc...
| Wikipedia wrote: | | The Divine Right of Kings is a European political and religious doctrine of political absolutism. Such doctrines are largely, though not exclusively, associated with the mediæval and ancien régime eras, based on contemporary Christian belief that a monarch owed his rule to the will of God, not to the will of his subjects, parliament, the aristocracy or any other competing authority. This doctrine continued with the claim that any attempt to depose a monarch or to restrict his powers ran contrary to the will of God... |

probably before march 2006 when the Iranians ditch trading in the U.S dollar for their oil and take up the euro. |

Mel, I agree, but I doubt by him. I should have credited the Photograher of the above picture, he is;

I actually think it is fairly standard practice for magazines and newspapers to 'selectively edit' shots these days, particularly in the digital age. The women's magazines certainly acknowledge it. When Martin Bryant was convicted for the Port Arthur massacre, there was even some fuss about the digital manipulation of the photo that was distributed widely, depicting him as a 'wild eyed killer with chilling blue eyes'.
At a recent Photoshop seminar we attended, the presenter admitted that at a previous presentation he fielded comments from someone in real estate using Photoshop, who was regularly called upon to 'extend the size of back yards' in real estate photographs! |
