Revelation: Shall Riyadh become the Capitol of the World?

[AntiFascist]

Many crazed religious fundamentalists believe the rapture will occur in their lifetime. Pat Robertson is calling for Jerusalem to remain solely in control by Israeli Jews as this will set the stage for Jerusalem to become the capitol of a new world-wide government. Since only a small number of Jews, after converting to Christianity, will be saved from the apocalypse, one can only assume what would happen to greater Israel under this scenario.

Orthodox Jews hold similar beliefs, only with the contrary stipulation that sympathetic gentiles will need to convert to Judaism and submit to universal Talmudic law. Some even feel that the struggle in the Middle East will be exported to America as Christianity begins to dissolve in a downward spiral.

Sometimes truth is stranger than prophecy.

While rumors of civil war circulate in Israel and America becomes a strongly divided nation, it is no mystery that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been investing heavily in key American interests around the world, including key financial institutions and several companies which control significant portions of the television news media such as Disney/ABC, 20th Century Fox, and Time-Warner/CNN

There continue to be convincing arguments that America's "War on Terrorism" is really a struggle for economic survival:

There is also discussion that the world will fight back by discontinuing investment in, and virtual bailout of, American debt (Treasury bills) further driving down the value of the dollar.

Japan and China have vested interests in America as their primary export customer, but their ability and willingness to help prop up the U.S. dollar may be limited. Interest rates will climb in order to attract investors, but this will hurt Americans and companies who have high-interest debt or adjustable mortgages.

If the U.S. dollar spirals downward further will America eventually be sold out to Arabian trillionaires?

2. 11 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. Saudis gave bin Laden financial aid.

They are even to this day giving money to Zarqawi (?sp) in Iraq.

I wonder why we didn't attack Saudi Arabia? Could it be it's because they own us?

3. Recently a Saudi representative denied....

that Saudis are directly aiding the insurgency in Iraq, and he stressed that the border with Iraq is closed and very carefully watched. He didn't address the charge that Saudis may be funneling money through Iran or that Saudis may be traveling through Iran to get to Iraq.
