: Some may be confused as to how the Imperialist is indeed a Communist. Perhaps in never truly understanding the matter, the nature of this corruption, they unknowingly become ripe fruit for such corruption.

: Is communism not dialectical materialism?

: Would one then not expect the communist to promote a desire for carnal worship towards utopia (a material kingdom on earth)?

: Would one not further expect that a conflict of the opposites (the communist and “anti-communist” dialectic) be contrived to enslave willing zealots, knowingly or unknowingly, from both sides under the same "kingdom on earth"?

: A physicist with space science unknowingly confirms this in his fear about the Y2K nuclear holocaust between Russia and America. He through his environmental diatribes is well known to be a “leftist” in conventional terms. The solutions that he proposes always mean submitting to a world legal or political authority. However unbeknownced to him, he is consumed by the exact same fear as those on the “right” who exposit, not so coincedently, the exact same solution.

: As an example to illustrate this, I will use a short wave radio broadcast that I heard one night from America. This ostensibly “prophetic” news programme told of the same Y2K problem. The broadcasters were confident that after mid-night on the new year 2000, Russia would launch a nuclear strike at America and thus send the world into a holocaust. Somehow this fit into some “necessary” tribulation period that we must all submit to, but finally God would come back to set up His kingdom "on earth". I was dumbfounded.

: Is something not obviously wrong with this fundamentalist “right” message? Yes indeed, it is based solely on fear not Blessing. It is based on a resultant kingdom ON EARTH instead of God's Kingdom of Grace, of which the two can never twine. In short, it is spiritual communism under the guise of Christian speech. It conditions people for a flesh and blood empire.

: What hogwash! Jesus said my Kingdom is NOT of this world. Flesh and blood CANN

Nice job. Now if you could relate that to the corporate yes men/women who sell their soul to corporate policies, good and BAD.....
thanks anyway for your thoughtful posting.
