ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE CRAZY & RAPTURE


Advance to 4:00 minute mark.

One of the noticeable elements of the GOP Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy cult is the involvement of the Christian far right, those who believe in and welcome the end of all things for us while they go to heaven.

Hal Lindsey has regularly posted bits to YouTube warning of electromagnetic pulse attack on the US. In this one, he delivers the missile defense/bomb Iran lobby script of the SCUD-in-a-tub sneak attack from off the coast. (Two years ago, he mentions EMP attack here, calling it the Delilah Bomb. Scroll down to see the video.)

Readers will note the fidgeting on the issue. First, the three minute explanation on how to make oneself right and call on the Lord to be saved. Then the longer explanation on the threat that will throw the United States back to the 1800's.

But the next video explains the interest more frankly and honestly.

It's part three of a sermon on how the electromagnetic pulse effect will signal the coming of Jesus. The saved will be whisked away to heaven, everyone else left behind for Satan, the United States hurled back to the time of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Amen, brothers and sisters!

You'll note the fly in the ointment for the other members of the Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy cult lobby is the very strong impression that the US religious far right wants the end to come on because it means they get to go with Jesus. With the rest of us Left Behind.

And an electromagnetic pulse attack, in effect a nuclear strike on the continental United States, is just right for that recipe. In other words, the national security implications of this are, for them, just a sham.

Sure it's illogical! But whoever said anything about Electromagnetic Pulse Crazy Theatre having to be logical?


Skip to about 2:50 if not inclined to endure to the entire thing.

Yes, your GOP EMP Crazy lobby: Roscoe Bartlett, Newt Gingrich, assorted missile defense hawks and the well beyond nuts religious far right.
