You will have to strap on your tin foil hats for this one. According to an article linked to by CRN, Brian McLaren is a socialist and will play a direct role in bringing about a one world government.

Apparently, Cuddy, the author of the article has the entire end times figured out.

Please read. And do your best to ignore the goofy ads on the site that feature books like this one:

PRINCE CHARLES THE SUSTAINABLE PRINCE

What this means is that Prince Charles, as heir to the British throne, has a bigger role to play in world affairs than what people could imagine. Joan Veon knows that he is a “Renaissance man: and a man with a mission. As a result of his behind-the-scenes role at the United Nations, Prince Charles is responsible for changing the order of life from the biblical perspective of man having dominance over the earth to one in which the earth has dominance over man. One of the major environmental philosophies which runs tantamount to this is that of “sustainable development.” Because of his global orchestrations, Veon has dubbed Charles “the sustainable prince.”

That’s priceless artwork, Matt…

I’ve often wondered how people can really expect government officials to pull of conspiracies. Even working with the government agencies I do with my job, I’ve found it takes three or four federal employees to do the work of one average person usually. They can’t even agree on the simplest things like where to hang a painting, so how in the world could they manage something like a vast conspiracy?

A quote from that political nutcase’s site –

My comments are directed at the men of this country, who over the past decades:

Sit back in their easy chair reading Newsweek or spend their time bare chested at a football game, well filled with suds to maintain those obscene beer bellies, while they have put their wives and children at risk. This nation is being invaded wholesale with illegal aliens who come into this country and kidnap, rape and murder our women and children. Some are caught, most are not. Why do the men turn a blind eye in pursuit of good times?

That site has a real handle on the political situation! What a real comic refief, it’s a gold mine of great quotes. :)

At the risk of quoting Jonah Goldberg, but I love his anti-conspiracy quote from a few years back:

I distrust the government but as a realistic conservative I think government is staffed with mostly well-intentioned but incompetent people — not because they’re dumb, but because bureaucracies are dumb. These conspiracy theorists reverse this entirely. They think government is evil-intentioned but supremely, even divinely, competent. That’s crazy-talk, Count Chocula.

haha, i don’t have the energy to pounce right now.

and that quote’s not that dumb – i mean, i could bring up that it’s verrrrry interesting to me that those who rail the hardest against government are the most hellbent on screwing it up once they’re in charge of it, as if by staffing enough agencies with malcontent boobs like “Heckuva Job” Brownie, Condoleezza “i just can’t answer that question!” Rice, and John “Cover the boobie on the statue before i have a sexual response!” Ashcroft, not to mention Harriet “White House Cleaning Lady” Miers and “Alfredo Gonzalez” (no modifier necessary), those people will be able to screw the federal government enough that the average citizen may then point and say “look! toldja gubmint don’t work!”

but i’m tired…

i am, though, really excited to know that Prince Charles is going to take over the world, because i think afternoon tea is a splendid idea for everyone, and i don’t read newspapers or leave my Gated Christian Community, so i’m gullible enough to believe that we’re just on the CUSP of one-world government, i mean we all get along so well already…

haha, i actually meant to say “screw up the federal government,” not that i’m above using the verb without the modifier, but usually i prefer its closest synonym.

Ugh tea. Coffee is a man’s drink. Unless you’re a woman. Then its a woman’s drink. And if you’ve yet to develop secondary sexual characteristics, then its a kid’s drink.

okay, i tried to read that article, but it’s a little bit unhinged.

i did find it interesting that he used examples of the “shock doctrine,” which actually ends up hurting the societies upon which it’s inflicted, as a way to somehow cause societies to “give up things they would otherwise fiercely protect.”

what’s interesting is that this ignores what’s actually happened to a lot of the countries where this has been implemented, esp. in S. America, where the people are now taking the reins in order to recover their societies from this extreme economic insanity, and the societies they’re building are becoming more fruitful every day.

the rest of the article reads like this, to me: blah blah blah unhinged wingnut blah blah blah blah Oprah blah blah Eckhart Tolle blah blah BOO! blah blah blah i didn’t have any credibility before i wrote this article blah blah blah and i certainly don’t now.

i only drink tea God’s way. iced, with lots of sugar.

or if i’m sick, i drink green tea.

but don’t worry, i’m still firmly in the 1400 cups of coffee pattern i established in the womb.

Yeah, GWB’s grand plan is to make us all hate the government so much that we all become libertarians and start smoking pot. Once we’re all high, phase II can begin.

Hey – there is nothing wrong with Tea! I drink it all the time (but I am British … sugh … some of us are just born lucky!) I remember an Amreican friend telling me that tehy didn’t understand how I could drink cream tea as it was disgusting, but they liked their tea with normal milk instead. After looking blankly at her for a bit I finally worked out what the heck she was on about. I had to explain that a Cream Tea, is a pot of black tea with milk and sugar on the side, with an English Scone (I haven’t seen them in the US) with butter, Jam (Jelly to you guys) and lots of clotted full-fat cornish cream on top. She ws putting this clotted cream in her tea. Honestly – that’s what you get for starting a country by dumping tea in the sea!!

Seriously – it would be cool for Prince Charles to be be, like, word leader or something. That way we can pass over him and get on with normal people like William.

Okay – too much tea – I forgot to spell check

Oh you silly Brits, just because we do tea better (by doing it worse and switching to coffee) there’s no reason to keep on with your silly traditions like speaking English with an ENglish accent, or naming what amounts to an oversized pocket watch after a has been NBA star.

If William and Harry were joint kings the entire country would just turn into a giant frat party. shudder.

Tim – NBA? You mean you pay people to throw balls through hoops? Wierd.

Someone’s got to do it. Can you imagine if everyone had to throw their own ball through a hoop? Why, nothing would get done all day long.

yes, but it would be done in funny English way, and there would be lots of interesting PANTS, and Madonna would reign supreme somewhere in the mix with her half-English accent, and Robin Birley would be like “ohhh. this is just a disaster!” and Jemima Khan & Zac Goldsmith would be all “oh, no, darlings, it’s splendid!” and everybody would get drunk on ale and forget about their little Muslim issues altogether!

Considering they managed to produce Benny Hill as something other than a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use, and the entire country seems to think that cross dressing is the height of hilarity that might be the best possible scenario.

and then Patsy and Edina from AbFab would show themselves to be real people, not characters, and inaugurate a new era of English hegemony based on the proper use of the phrase “sweetie darling.”

oh but that’s lower government. The planning and action goes on in the secret top government above the president. They are so secret no-one knows their existance, name or what they do.
