Christian Scripture: The Zionist Deception
Charles E. Carlson Jun 20, 2009
Judeo-Christianity is less than 200 years old. The Jewish Zionism movement has played the key part in assuring its growth. We see the result of this mind bending in the creation of a new “Christianity” which in its extreme form is known as Christian Zionism, fed by Oxford University Press’s Scofield Reference Bible published in New York in 1908. Bible editors, including publishing houses like Oxford, have failed to correct obvious changes in common usage of words, such as "Jew" and "Israel" that provide misleading, Zionist friendly inferences.

| Christian Zionists Snap at the Heels of A Man From Galilee
Charles E. Carlson May 06, 2009
Bishop Elias Chacour’s life seems to demonstrate peace, love and sacrifice. But he also challenges Israel’s right to take life and property from his Christian and Muslim Arab friends. Some Christian Zionists find this objectionable and we need to know why. ---
Strangely, We Hold These Truths has found it entirely normal for Christian Zionists to believe that the “Israel” of today inherited the right to kill Philistines from the “Israel” of three or four thousand years ago.

| Hamas, The Best Chance for Peace in the Land of the Philistines
Charles E Carlson Apr 26, 2009
This writer believes Israel's two year blockade and the December holocaust in Gaza demonstrates that Hamas is the only qualified government, and that the United States and Israel must allow it to negotiate. Instead, the negotiating has been done by the Palestinian Authority (formerly the Palestinian Liberation Organization), which the people rejected two years ago in a free election. Corruption has been exposed at the very top of the PA, just as it was in Yasser Arafat’s PLO, a blow to the PA and affirmation for Hamas.

Many of us had military training at one time or another and the thought of killing a human is something soldiers must prepared for. But based on the result, something about this sniper training must be very different, for the thought of killin a woman, much less a child, never entered the mind of any soldier I have ever known.

| Evangelical Zionist’s Dilemma: Love Your Enemy or Starve Him
Charles E. Carlson Jan 31, 2009
Evangelical Zionism is our own descriptive term. It is not a denomination, but an acquired disease in the body of Christianity. The universal symptom is the belief that the political state of Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophesy. Jesus said, love you brother, even your enemy; Evangelical Zionism, in its extreme morphs, holds that Old Testament scripture allows the extermination of the Palestinians.

| Are you ready for war with a demonized Iran?
Paul Craig Roberts, Aljazeera Jun 19, 2009
Why the U.S. wants to delegitimize the Iranian elections
As a person who has seen it all from inside the U.S. government, I believe that the purpose of the U.S. government’s manipulation of the American and puppet government media is to discredit the Iranian government by portraying the Iranian government as an oppressor of the Iranian people and a frustrater of the Iranian people’s will. This is how the U.S. government is setting up Iran for military attack.
With the help of Moussavi, the U.S. government is creating another “oppressed people,” like Iraqis under Saddam Hussein, who require American lives and money to liberate. Has Moussavi, the American candidate in the Iranian election who was roundly trounced, been chosen by Washington to become the American puppet ruler of Iran?
