A Little Scoop on Bush, Chirac, God, Gog and Magog By Jacques Sterchi Monday 17 September 2007 In 2003, University of Lausanne theology professor Thomas Römer received a telephone call from the Elysée. Jacques Chirac's advisers wanted to know more about Gog and Magog ... two mysterious names pronounced by George W. Bush while he was attempting to convince France to enter the war in Iraq at his side. In its September edition, the University of Lausanne's review, Allez savoir, reveals this story that could seem fantastic did it not, as Allez savoir's Editor-in-Chief Jocelyn Rochat emphasizes, reveal the religious underpinnings of Bush's policy. Apocalyptic prophecy: Bush would have declared to Chirac that Gog and Magog were at work in the Middle East and that the Biblical prophecies were in the process of being fulfilled. That was several weeks before the intervention in Iraq. The French president, to whom the names of Gog and Magog meant nothing, was stupefied. In Allez savoir, Thomas Römer details: Gog and Magog are two creatures who appear in Genesis, and especially in the most arcane chapters of the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel. An apocalyptic prophecy of a global army giving final battle in Israel. "This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins," continues Thomas Römer. According to him, George W. Bush is not the first to look for an incarnation of Gog and Magog on earth. Ronald Reagan had deemed that the cold war and the atomic bomb's existence made Ezekiel's prophecy realizable.... If today the University of Lausanne reveals these explanations Thomas Römer supplied to Jacques Chirac, it's because the latter has left the Elysée. For Jocelyn Rochat, this little international policy professional secret raises a vast question: our lack of religious education, our ignorance of Scriptures at a time when religious foundations are far more crucial than we'd like to believe in political and military decisions. Religion is not confined to the private sphere, Jocelyn Rochat concludes. A parameter to take into account "at the risk of no longer understanding the way the world works today."

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡

Chirac isnt the only one..
blip..... "... A "local lunatic" who hangs out on Ben Yehuda Street (and generally wanders around central Jerusalem) told me yesterday about George Bush's family coming from a place in the Colchester Hills with some local reference to two sites called Gog and Magog. The "lunatic" told me that if I did an internet search under "Gog and Magog" I should look for the "Lord Mayor's Parade", sponsored by the London Stock Exchange, and I would be "surprised" at what I saw. Well, here it is, have a look for yourselves, and let me know if this is real, or some phoney make believe. My question is, is there REALLY a "Lord Mayor's Parade" sponsored by the London Stock Exchnage with two floats at the start of the parade named Gog and Magog, as is written here? Or is this all a fraud....."
