Now the beast I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave [false] authority to the beast, saying "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on earth will worship him, whose names not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain for the foundation of the world.

If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints...

...Then an angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or his hand, he himself shall also drink the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
Now can you see who will rise out of the sea, and how corrupted the sea will become?

I fell asleep last night and started having dreams about that crap and then woke up and realized I fell asleep watching the history channel with all of it's end of the world antichrist garbage. It was kinda annoying. I only mention this because the benadryl started kicking in about the time I read Kenny's post. I think I just stared at the screen for like 30 seconds kinda hypnotized.... I also think it's time to go to sleep now. You guys have fun with that whole "end of the world" thing.

I think you Antarctica. Since Russia drops paratroopers on the arctic and plant fake flags on the sea bottom, it will be a natural move for USA to take Antarctica. Perhaps it will even be ice free in some distant future as well. It could be used to something like - i don't know. Storage of nuclear waste perhaps?

Hi...

Mars...

Make a Gigaton range multistage fusion Weapon, sort of a Tsar Bomba on steroids...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba

and detonate it in the inner point of Martian Equatorial line at the precise instant of the apogee of its orbit


Should be enough to kick Mars away from solar orbit... ROTFL....

If precisely calculated, one could use Mars to collide with, say... Neptune... should be fun...


An even better idea... since Jupiter is mainly composed of Hydrogen, it should be possible to ignite a thermonuclear reaction in it, using a powerfull enough "spark generator" ( Tsar Bomba like ), and watch the generated shock wave propagate through all the planet and ignite all the remaining Fusion fuel... ( a bit speculative this one... a diverging spherical shock wave decelerates as it propagates away from its origin - The Sedov Problem, this is why thermonuclear weapon ignition relies on Hydrodynamic radiant shock compression... converging, and accelerating shock wave... ),


Is there any way to create an imploding shock wave starting in the Upper Atmosphere of Jupiter... ??


... should be enough to

Man... this is a difficult one...

When you fight against an Army, or a Nation, you have to overwhelm their military capabilities and force them to surrender, or fight till the last remaining man alive...

You can do this on a Military-Technological basis, ( most conventinal Wars are fought like this ), or you can do this on a Cultural-Socological-Economical basis ( the Cold War was fought like this, and I think one of the possible avenues for fighting successfully the Global Terrorist threat and organized crime ( human and drug trafic ) "wars" can be this one )

But Capitalism...??!! WTF...

It's not that i LIKE Capitalism, in fact, I absolutely DESPISE, and HATE it... but you ( or me or whoever decides to fight against it ) are up against the most lethal of all Threats that menace Mankind...

HUMAN WEAKNESS...

For Centuries of Human History, ppl have been led to believe that one IS NOT WORTH FOR WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF, but ONE IS WORTH FOR WHAT ONE CAN OBTAIN THROUGH MONEY...

simple and crude as that...

this is why the Leader of a Yakuza organization IS MORE than most ppl, because HE HAS MONEY, and GOT THE MONEY TO BUY HIS LEGITIMACY, as long as most ppl do not get to know how he got that income...


but, as generations and years pass, he and his "businesses" get so entangled into what the ppl generally call "the system", that nobody really cares about such nifty details... and the system, capitalism, just got a bit stronger...

I hate to tell you this but money doesn't care if your capitalist/socialist/communist, Money buys power in a Socialist regime as well as a Capitalist regime.
