-Caveat Lector- "1999 and seven months / Comes a king of terror from the sky ... Reviving the great king of the 'Angolmois' " ..." --Nostradamus It just occurred to me that July (seventh month) 1999 is the MILLENNIAL anniversary of the taking of Jerusalem by the Crusaders (and Knights Templar) and the crowning of the first European CHRISTIAN "king" of the Holy Land, till then under Muslim control ... During the last two years, there have been posts on CTRL that indicated the Knights of Malta (SMOM) --the Vatican's virtual army, interlocking with the CIA, Mafia, neofascist Masonic Lodges like P2, and NATO bigwigs like Alexander Haig -- were reorganizing and gearing up for a "jihad" against non-European non-Christians in the Near East -- the crossroads to which lie in the Balkans and across the Bosporus, i.e., in Turkey. It DOES seem now that the E.U., successor to the HRE, is trying to elbow the Muslims of Albania and elsewhere in the Balkans OUT of Europe, OFF the continent proper, and sweep the Eastern Orthodox nations eastward, back under the umbrella of "Russia," with its own sphere of influence across the Urals. "Housecleaning," you might say. Also, lately there has been a continuing effort by the Vatican to "convert" Russia (in keeping with the "command" of the so-called "Fatima Prophecies") and bring the entire Eastern Orthodox branch of Christendom under the direct control of the Pope, in effect reconstituting the mostly-Slavic Habsburg Empire, historically a counterpole to, and bulwark against, Western European expansionism -- up until the outbreak of World War One, when it simply became a battlefield between greedy Germany and greedy Russia. Makes me wonder how "integrated" the newborn EU actually is, what with its member nations split between secular or Protestant and traditional CATHOLIC allegiences ... What's up, I wonder? A new "Crusades" for the Middle East, the Balkans onward? DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed.
