With Afghanistan and Iraq casting a shadow over his popularity at home in Britain, Blair's focus has increasingly shifted across the Atlantic, to
where the nexus of faith and power is immutable and he is feted like a rock star
...
he foundation's advisory council of religious leaders includes Rick Warren, powerful founder of the California-based Saddleback church. It attracts
congregations of nearly 20,000 and is reportedly one of the largest in the US. Warren, who has addressed the UN and the World Economic Forum in Davos,
has been named one of the "15 world leaders who matter most" and one of the "100 most influential people in the world".
Good ol' US, where faith and power are immutable. Rick Warren, associated with the 'Kill the Gays Bill' in Uganda.
I looked at Blair Foundation web site. Current advertised campaign against Malaria. Here's the deal, money talks, money controls. It's the taking of
what is legitimate roll of government, "...promote the general welfare..." and putting it into religion based hands.
Let me compare another piece of legitimate government roll. "...provide for the common defense..." The US taxpayers have been paying for religious
based mercenary outfits like:
www.nndb.com...
Erik Prince is a multi-millionaire fundamentalist Christian, who co-founded the security and mercenary firm Blackwater Worldwide in 1997 with Gary
Jackson, a former Navy SEAL.
Prince's outfit made great inroads into DOD, CIA, and who knows what all, primarily because of being such a born again Christian. He fit in so well
in the CIA prayer breakfasts, and Pentagon prayer meetings, contracts for billions rolled his way. Taxpayer money. Privitizasion of military and
intelligence religion control.
Bush's faith based initiative to take tax payer money and put it in the hands of religion. Where does this lead?
Want intelligence work? Go to religion. Want defense? Go to religion. Hungry? Go to religion. Want Malaria cured? Go to religion. Religion's got it
all. Forget secular medical foundations. Forget secular education. Forget secular food distribution. Un-fund, starve anything not backed by powerful
religious groups. Eventually, those billionaire foundation running people will be the providers of everything. No human need will be met without their
say so.
This is where it's headed. Oppose this crap. Why should you go to a priest to get bread? Why go to a priest to get a medical prescription? Why go to
a priest to hire an armed body guard? Why go to a priest to wage war?
. I was about 5 foot away from this mug when i went to see him give evidence at the Chilcot Inquiry. All he cares about
is money, and will use his so called faith to aquire it.
