REPUBLIčAN END TIME IDEOLOGY 12 The closeness of fundamentalist Christians to the Republičan Party has been evident since Ronald Reagan's term of office. It was no coincidence that the then US president held the speech in which he described the Soviet Union as the „evil empire” in the eschatological „National Association of Evangelicals”. 63 „Everything Comes Together,” the 64-literary president, open-minded to the Lubavitch cult, told Californian politician James Mill about Ezekiel's Armageddon Prophecy: „It can not be long.” 65 Reagan's staff was known for its „slips.” Let's take Home Secretary James Watt, who came from the Pentecostal apocalyptic sect, who replied to the questionIn a congressional hearing, one should be sparing with natural resources in order to preserve them for future generations: „I do not know how many future generations we can count on until the Lord returns.” At the same time, Reagan's War Minister Caspar Weinberger at Harvard University was asked if he expected the end of the world and, if so, whether the hand of man or God would bring it about. „Weinberger replied that he was familiar with the biblical prophecies:”. and yes, I believe that the world will end - I hope by an act of God - but every day I think that time is running out. „ 67 The American writer Christopher Reed reports that Weinberger even made it clear where Armageddon was going to take place.He called the Israeli village Megiddo, about 25 kilometers southeast of Haifa. Of course, to supervise this heavenly fireworks, a knowledgeable character was needed. So the Pentagon summarily appointed hawkish end-time magician Hai Lindsey as his Middle East advisor. Which does not bode well: Because the fundamentalist, who was also on the payrolls of the Israeli government conjures in his bestseller ”The Late Great Planet Earth„ a by judgment of God to the brink of destruction led world of tomorrow.63 Nancy Gibbs, Apocalypse Now - The Biggest Book Of The Summer Is About The End Of The World It's A Sign OfOur Troubled Times, ”Time Magazine, July 1, 2002 64 That year, when the Rebbe celebrated its 80th birthday,Reagan dedicated the annual National Day of Reflection to him 65 Observer, August 25, 1985. The fact that the White House paid its modest contribution even then by amassing hundreds of millions of dollars a year to Saddam Hussein is largely forgotten today (See Chomsky, Beinin et al., The New World Order and the Gulf War, nevertheless-Verlag, Frankfurt 1992, therein on page 60 the article by Joe!

When Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu visited Washington in January 1998 for a state visit to President Clinton, he first met with evangelical Christian leaders. The January 22, 1998, Washington Post reported, „Netanyahu, who was pressured by the government to accelerate Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, received a stormy reception ... As the organizer of the event, the” United Voices for Israel „(p. Voices United for Israel), a group of conservative Jews and Christians,which opposes any further Israeli territorial concession to the Palestinians. With the chant ”Not a single centimeter,„ a crowd of 500 people applauded Netanyahu when he was greeted by Reverend Jerry Fat well ... ”In an interview with the post office, Falwell described the West Bank, where Palestinians were building their own state hoping to urge Israel to withdraw from there, he added, „it would be like asking America to relinquish Texas to Mexico for the sake of good relations, which is ridiculous.” Significantly, at a gala dinner in New York in 1980, Falwell was awarded the Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky Medal by Israeli leader Menachem Begin. Jabotinsky,The far-right leader of Revisionist Zionism argued that Jews who were ready to settle Palestine should not be bound by human law, that is, should be prosecuted. At the beginning of 2002, the press threw a spotlight on the cuddle course of the unequal Bible team. „Striving to consolidate its ties with American evangelicals,” the Washington Post wrote, „has embarked on the Israeli government's move to include pre-financed travel to the Holy Land and strategy meetings with the Christian Coalition and other conservative groups. Objective: ... to strengthen grassroots support in the United States. The driven public is the estimated 98 million member colony of American Evangelicals,and especially a sub-branch of this group, the so-called Christian Zionists. This group believes that the Jews are the chosen people of God who have a heavenly overwriting certificate on their embattled land - just as the ”covenant„ described in the first book of the Bible says, but Christian Zionism is more than just His ”AHes-for-Israel„ theology is capable of influencing US foreign policy as sustainably as the Christian
Right has influenced political decision-making through domestic political decision-making. If I noticed that the government or anybody in Congress was moving away from supporting Israel, believe me, then I would get people to pick up the phone and whisper to their legislators. 'Get out of your way, 'said Janet Parshall, who runs a weekly nationally broadcast on evangelical radio stations. ”70 At the same time, the largest US television station CBS dedicated to this phenomenon in the one-hour documentary„ Zion's Christian Soldiers. ” The article impressively proved that the Christian Zionists are as conscious as they are fateful of influencing the Middle East policy of the last superpower.
