the wrong shame

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth” (Genesis 6.11-12).

During his administration, President Obama, uncharacteristically for the world’s greatest individual arms dealer of all time, suspended the sale of over $500m worth of military munitions to Saudi Arabia because of their immoral and inhumane attacks on Yemen—often attacking civilians. Caligula’s administration requested that the Senate reverse the suspension. “The US Senate,” writes a guardian journalist, “narrowly approved that sale, in a vote of 53 to 47, almost handing [Caligula] an embarrassing defeat”[i]

So, just to be clear, in the world that America has created, whenever it is unable to further weaponize a planet already flooded with weapons of mass destruction (and thus further enrich a murderous military industrial complex), it is to be seen as an “embarrassing defeat.”

What devilish perversion this is!

The real embarrassment is that the pathetic nation that calls itself the world’s only superpower is unembarrassed by their murderous and gross profit-making scheme through arms sales of any kind. But in the topsy-turvy ass-backward world America has created with Satanic precision, there is boasting rather than lamentation when God’s creation is further defiled with her damnable weapons of mass destruction. “[Caligula], along with Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser, who played a major role in negotiating parts of the agreement [$110 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia over 10 year], were quick to claim credit for a massive arms deal that would boost the US economy.”[ii]

What a devilish way to “boost economies”!
​
How, in God’s name, can there be any doubt in anyone’s mind about how the God of Heaven feels about this perverted and twisted logic? As always, we proclaim particularly against America’s so-called Christians who stand as champions of such perverse rebellion against the Holy One! They of all people should know better than any what this is: BLASPHEMY.

​Come! Let’s go up to Yahweh’s mountain;
    to the temple of the God of Ya‘qōb.
He will teach us his ways,
    and we shall walk in his paths….
Then will He mediate between nations;
    He will reconcile many peoples,
so that they will retool their swords into plow blades
    and their spears into pruning instruments.
One nation will no longer lift the sword against another,
    nor will they any longer train for warfare” (Isaiah 2.3-4; author’s translation)
