 <description>&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, Kucinich lacks the power, resources or especially the desire to bring about the End of the World.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s some information about who has the power, resources, and the desire(?) to bring on the End Times~  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On The Eve Of Destruction&lt;br /&gt;By Scott Ritter&lt;br /&gt;10-22-7&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Don&amp;#39;t worry, the White House is telling us. The world&amp;#39;s most powerful leader was simply making a rhetorical point. At a White House press conference last week, just in case you haven&amp;#39;t heard, President Bush informed the American people that he had told world leaders &amp;quot;if you&amp;#39;re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing [Iran] from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.&amp;quot; World War III. That is certainly some rhetorical point, especially coming from the man singularly most capable of making such an event reality. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Pundits have raised their eyebrows and comics are busy writing jokes, but the president&amp;#39;s reference to Armageddon, no matter how cavalierly uttered and subsequently brushed away, suggests an alarming context. Some might note that the comment was simply an offhand response to a reporter&amp;#39;s question, the kind of free-thinking scenario that baffles Bush so. In a way, this makes what the president said even more disturbing, since we now have an insight into the vision, and related terminology, which hovers just below the horizon in the brain of George W. Bush. ....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;...President Bush&amp;#39;s relationship with &amp;quot;God&amp;quot; (or that which he refers to as God) is a matter of public record. The president himself has stated that &amp;quot;God speaks through me&amp;quot; (he acknowledged this before a group of Amish in Pennsylvania in the summer of 2004). Exactly how God speaks through him, and what precisely God says, is not a matter of speculation. According to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, President Bush told him and others that &amp;quot;God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did.&amp;quot; As such, at least in the president&amp;#39;s mind, God has ordered Bush to transform himself into a modern incarnation of St. Michael, smiting all that is evil before him. &amp;quot;We are in a conflict between good and evil. And America will call evil by its name,&amp;quot; the president told West Point cadets in a speech in 2002. ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;...That George W. Bush is a born-again Christian is not a national secret. Neither is the fact that his brand of Christianity, evangelicalism, embraces the notion of the &amp;quot;end of days,&amp;quot; the coming of the Apocalypse as foretold (so they say) in the Book of Revelations and elsewhere in the Bible. President Bush&amp;#39;s frequent reference to &amp;quot;the evil one&amp;quot; suggests that he not only believes in the Antichrist but actively proselytizes on the Antichrist&amp;#39;s physical presence on Earth at this time. If one takes in the writing and speeches of those in the evangelical community today concerning the &amp;quot;rapture,&amp;quot; the numerous references to the current situation in the Middle East, especially on the events unfolding around Iran and its nuclear program, make it very clear that, at least in the minds of these evangelicals, there is a clear link between the &amp;quot;end of days&amp;quot; prophesy and U.S.-Iran policy. That James Dobson, one of the most powerful and influential evangelical voices in America today, would be invited to the White House with like-minded clergy to discuss President Bush&amp;#39;s Iran policy is absurd unless one makes the link between Bush&amp;#39;s personal faith, the extreme religious beliefs of Dobson and the potential of Armageddon-like conflict (World War III). At this point, the absurd becomes unthinkable, except it is all too real. ...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rense.com/general78/eved.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.rense.com/general78/eved.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;Dobson, Armageddon, and Foreign Policy&lt;br /&gt;16 May 2007 05:33 pm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The most influential man in the Republican base, James Dobson, has been interviewing a foreign policy expert about our approach to the Middle East. His guide is Ezekiel, 38. If you are not already scared by fundamentalists dictating foreign policy from the Bible, this might work your nerves a little. No one - but no one - in the current GOP establishment will take Dobson on. But he is quite clearly out of his mind. Here&amp;#39;s a transcript of his interview today with one Joel C. Rosenberg, promoting this book....&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;...Rosenberg:  It is going to be such a clear judgement against the enemies of Israel that Exekiel 39 says that will take seven months to bury all the bodies of the slain enemies of Israel. And the birds of the air and the beasts of the field are going to eat many of these slain soldiers. I think this is the end of radical Islam as we know it, Ezekiel 38 and 39, and in the aftermath, millions, even tens of millions, including radical Muslims, will come to faith in Jesus Christ. And given the events going on in our world today, people at the Pentagon, people at the CIA, people at the White House are asking to sit down and talk about these issues, to understand the Biblical perspective, because it is uncanny what is happening out there and it deserves some study....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/05/dobson_armagedd.html&quot;&gt;http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/05/dobson_armagedd.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://joelrosenberg.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://joelrosenberg.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday, October 18, 2007&lt;br /&gt;WHAT PUTIN&amp;#39;S HISTORIC TRIP TO IRAN MEANS: Washington leaders asking if unfolding events in the Mideast were foretold in the Bible&lt;br /&gt;.&amp;quot;....as the President was speaking to reporters at the White House, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of military leaders at the Pentagon on what Putin&amp;#39;s historic and unprecedented trip to Iran means and how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad&amp;#39;s eschatology is driving Iranian foreign policy....the event was off-the-record, meaning I&amp;#39;m not at liberty to share who was in the meeting or any of the specific details....but I can tell you that I gave a condensed version of the same information I&amp;#39;ve been speaking about publicly in recent weeks....I will be speaking on the same topic on Capitol Hill today with a group of Congressmen who have invited me to discuss the latest events with Putin and Ahmadinejad and what they might mean....here&amp;#39;s an executive summary:  [continues...]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2038-39&amp;amp;version=49&quot;&gt;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2038-39&amp;amp;version=49&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;From the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1193128634148360.xml&amp;amp;coll=2&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;PeeDee&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has claimed to have seen a UFO, according to Shirley MacLaine in her new book, &amp;quot;Sage-Ing While Age-Ing.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Kucinich &amp;quot;had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there,&amp;quot; the actress, a close Kucinich friend, wrote. &amp;quot;Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &amp;quot;It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn&amp;#39;t comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Kucinich&amp;#39;s campaign and congressional representatives did not return calls and e-mail asking whether the Cleveland Democrat, now in his sixth congressional term, in fact saw a UFO or if there was some other explanation for MacLaine&amp;#39;s recollection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This explains everything. &lt;/p&gt;    &#039;); } --&amp;gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://filer.case.edu/jkk3/kucinichbelieve.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;296&quot; height=&quot;357&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
