Duty, Honor, Country
The Case for Ousting Saddam Hussein

By Steven S. Showers, Editor

     Before we dive into the deep end of the pool, I would first like to point out that the initials of the current U.S. President, George W. Bush, which are "GWB", correspond to the initials of the Great White Brotherhood, which are also "GWB". What the significance of this is, I am not sure, but I think it is fair to say that in as much as this has never before occurred in American history, that it is worth taking note of.

     For those of you who are not familiar with the GWB, it is a brotherhood of Heavenly souls comprised predominantly of the members of the Heavenly Hierarchy assigned by God to shepherd God's children safely back onto the grounds of their Divine Estate. The term "white" does not refer to skin color, but to the White Light, which they embody in all purity, and serve in all purity, which contains, as you are all aware, all the colors of the rainbow.

     With that said, let us now direct our attention to the case for ousting Saddam Hussein.

     Any conclusion regarding what ought to be done about Saddam Hussein must be built upon the foundation of divine principle.

     A conclusion built upon the foundation of divine principle will stand the test of time. In other words, a plan of action based on divine principle will produce long lasting good fruit. This is true, because the Heavenly Host are committed to supporting the implementation of divine principle. And what the Heavenly Host will support, that is what will last and produce good fruit over a long period of time. (America's commitment to freedom and democracy is an example of a project that the Heavenly Host sponsors and supports, with some qualifications that we will get into later.) On the other hand, a plan of action based on human foolishness will simply produce a bigger problem down the road. This is because the Heavenly Host will offer no support for human foolishness, and will simply stand aside and allow the misplaced hopes and dreams of foolish people to be dashed upon the rocks of reality. We have evidence of this right in front of our face when we consider the fruit of that foolish decision to leave Saddam Hussein in power after the Gulf War.

     Now, the first divine principle that has particular relevance to this situation, is this: All the power that America has, was given to America by God. And of course, it follows that God gives power for a purpose. God expects the American people to use the great power He has given to them to advance His purposes, both at home and abroad. And the second divine principle follows logically: To whom much is given, much is expected. In other words, we are expected to do a whole lot towards the advancement of God's plans and purposes across the globe. The third divine principle of particular relevance is this: God our Father and our Mother are the original architects and most passionate advocates of freedom.

      Upon this simple foundation of divine principle we can build our first solid conclusion regarding what ought to be done about Saddam Hussein. We can safely conclude that it would be perfectly appropriate to use the vast power God has given to us for the purpose of setting the people of another nation free from a cruel, sadistic, and murderous dictator. God, the Father of all, has no desire to see the Iraqi people continue to live in an atmosphere thick with fear and terror. Their suffering in this respect is a great burden upon God's heart. And therefore, we can safely conclude that the Heavenly Host will throw their support behind this noble endeavor to set the Iraqi people free. And because of this, our efforts in that direction will be blessed by the Heavenly Host. In other words, we can count on them to do everything in their power to ensure our ultimate success.

     Now, there are some who fear that America will suffer great losses in this endeavor, and moreover, ignite a conflagration in the Middle East that will consume the entire planet in war. These people said the same thing when America used her righteous power to throw Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991. None of their dire prognostications came to pass. Why? Because it was a noble endeavor, the Heavenly Host supported it, and held the balance for it. The same would be true in this situation.

     For those of you who believe God is a pacifist, and who balk at the honorable use of military power, I would simply remind you that these principles are fully operational in the activities of police departments throughout every one of the 50 states of our Union, and not just on a daily basis, but on an hourly basis. In this respect, it could be rightfully observed that these principles comprise some of the most basic elements of the very architecture of American civilization, which has its roots in the tradition of chivalry embodied by the Knights of the Round Table of old.

In this respect, one ought to consider, at the very least, what means are available to law enforcement agencies when they confront the entrenched forces of organized crime in any American city. When necessary, physical force is always an option, and an honorable one, when criminals seek to entrench themselves, against the rule of law and decency, into the very fabric of our collective lives.

     Now, its important to understand that these principles were fully applicable at the end of the Gulf War (1991). It is absolutely axiomatic that we should have gone the extra mile to set the Iraqi people free then. We had the opportunity, and we failed to take advantage of it, and look where we are today. But that's not the worst of it. The fact that the United States stood by and did nothing while Saddam Hussein used his remaining military power to crush the uprising of his opponents, remains a dark stain of dishonor upon our nation. Think about it. As heavily armed U.S. fighter aircraft circled above, Iraqi helicopter gun ships were allowed to take off, and to mow down thousands of people who stood up (at the urging of the U.S. Government) in an attempt to topple Saddam Hussein. We allowed them to be killed by the thousands. We stood by and did nothing to help them when we were right there with the means to help them. We could have easily shot down those helicopters. But we didn't. What a dark and shameful episode in American history. What a horrible stain upon our national honor. This stain must be removed.

     Make no mistake about it. It was then, and it remains today, America's duty and obligation before God to remove Saddam Hussein from power and give the Iraqi people the opportunity to live under the banner of freedom.

     And we should observe in this respect, that there is definitely a certain amount of poetic justice in the fact that post 9/11 circumstances are forcing us to go back and complete the job. I personally find it fascinating to contemplate how circumstances invariably arrange themselves around us, challenging us anew to do the right thing. I am certain of the fact that God's Law, primarily the Law of Karma, has had a hand (albeit one not very well understood by most people) in the arrangement of such circumstances.

     And what of these circumstances?

     The events of 9/11 have shaken many people awake, most notably President George W. Bush, to the fact that there exists a seething ocean of hatred harbored by thousands of terrorist minded individuals just waiting to be unleashed upon America. In this awakened state, it is easy to see that there isn't any conceivable force of internal conscience powerful enough to deter these individuals from unleashing monumental magnitudes of destruction upon America. And most importantly, we can see clearly that the destructive power of a nuclear weapon is exactly commensurate with the intensity of their lust for our destruction. In this awakened state, all doubt is swept aside. Once the terrorists get such a weapon in their hands, there is no question that they will consider it a great joy and honor to use it.

     Therefore, for all practical purposes, in terms of current circumstance, there is one primary driving force behind the desire of President Bush to remove President Saddam Hussein of Iraq from power. It is the prospect of Saddam's acquisition of a nuclear weapon, and the subsequent passing of that weapon to terrorists who would then detonate it on American soil.

     Remember this. Within a heart ruled by darkness, the desire for revenge and retaliation invariably blossoms forth at the slightest offense or humiliation. Now, America did not deliver upon Saddam Hussein a slight offense. America did not deliver upon Saddam Hussein a slight humiliation. America delivered a monumental humiliation, a monumental offense, upon Saddam Hussein when we threw him and his army out of Kuwait in 1991. And that wound of humiliation was all the more deep and painful because we defeated him so easily. And this wound of humiliation continues to fester as he wakes up each day to U.S. and British aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones over southern and northern Iraq. The worst of it is, that he can't do a thing to stop it. For a person who lives for power, the fact that we have made him powerless, and that we rub his nose in this fact every day, is not something that generates good feelings in his heart. No. The desire for revenge, the desire to strike back, the desire to throw this behemoth of global power off his back, becomes more intense every day. Therefore, for these reasons, and because we have so thoroughly crushed his dream of becoming the exalted and respected leader of a new Pan-Arab empire, when Saddam Hussein looks at America, he looks at us through the dark lense of revenge. And what better way to exact revenge then to pass along a nuclear weapon to a shadowy terrorist group who will move it into America, and detonate it in a large American city. What perverse glee, and darkly glittering joy, must uplift that distorted soul at the prospect of such a conflagration of destruction.

     Now, while there are many other paths by which a nuclear weapon could come to be detonated on American soil by terrorists, this is the most obvious path. And this is the path that must be closed first.

     It is of course unfortunate, that removing Saddam Hussein from power will not guarantee that terrorists will not get their hands on a nuclear weapon, and detonate it on American soil anyway. But that's no reason to abandon our plans to oust Saddam Hussein. As the old saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. And even more so, God helps those who help others. By putting our lives and treasure on the line to set the Iraqi people free, we are earning additional dispensations of assistance from our Heavenly Father and Mother, and that should help make us somewhat safer, in regards to the nuclear threat, over the short term.

     But, as we take care of the short term business of making sure Saddam Hussein never gets his hands on a nuclear weapon, and never has the opportunity to pass one along to his terrorist friends, it is important that we keep our eye on the medium to long-term contingencies. In the medium to long-term view, it is, unfortunately, an absolute certainty that terrorists will eventually succeed in detonating a nuclear weapon on American soil, that is, unless we do one simple thing.

     I hope everyone is paying attention here.

     The only way to absolutely guarantee that no terrorist will ever have the opportunity to detonate a nuclear warhead on American soil, is to stop the practice of legal abortion in America. That's right. The moment we stop the practice of legal abortion, God would then authorize untold legions of angels to march forward and guard the borders of this nation.

     It would be well for us to understand that this principle, in regards to the growing unwillingness of God to protect this nation, has been in operation for a considerable period of time. The increase of these boiling and seething cauldrons of hatred, which have suddenly blossomed forth in the Middle East in particular, and which comprise the root of all terrorism, has a direct link to the unwillingness of God to protect this nation, which in turn has a direct link to the practice of legal abortion in this nation.

     To understand why this is so, we need to understand that our nation has been sponsored by God from the very beginning. Our destiny is to embody the Christ Consciousness collectively. In other words, the Christ Child is supposed to be born in the hearts, minds, and souls of every American. And that Christ Child is supposed to be nurtured, given sustenance, and allowed to grow into full Sonship. And as a result, America is supposed to be populated by millions of people who have become full fledged Christs, as Jesus clearly demonstrated was possible. This population of souls, having reclaimed their Divine Estate, are supposed to establish a DIVINE Golden Age culture, the likes of which this planet has not seen in many hundreds of thousands of years.

     Now, the forces of darkness on the planet, the fallen angels in particular, have the deepest hatred for God, and have a corresponding hatred for the destiny that God envisions for America. And therefore, they lust after the destruction of America. If America can be destroyed, God's plan for the salvation of the entire planet can be destroyed along with it.

     This hatred for God and his purposes has existed within the hearts of these fallen angels from primordial times, and abortion, per se, has no causative link to the intensity of that hatred. In other words, the practice of abortion in America does not increase the hatred the fallen angels have for God. Nor does the practice of abortion in America increase their lust after our destruction. (The truth be told, the practice of legal abortion in America is one thing that the fallen angels love about America, in as much as many advanced souls who were sent forth into embodiment to take up leadership roles in the grand procession into the aforementioned Golden Age, have been murdered in the womb.) As far as their (i.e. the fallen angels) hatred goes, there isn't really anything that could substantially increase that hatred, as they are already totally consumed by it. And of course, God cannot decrease their level of hatred either. It is a free will thing. Only love can decrease hatred, and they have long since passed beyond the point of being able to accept any of God's love.

     But, there is one thing that God, through the Heavenly Host, can do, and that is to limit their ability to fan the flames of hatred within the ignorant populations of the Middle East and elsewhere, who, by the way, carry forward from previous embodiments, great reservoirs of hatred that have heretofore been sealed within their individual electronic belts, and the collective electronic belt of the planet.

     Therefore, when the people of America ask the question, "Why do they hate us?" I would propose that they now have a model by which this can be understood. Those who carry forth these great reservoirs of hatred from previous embodiments were aligned to the purposes of the fallen angels during those previous embodiments as well. And in this respect, it's important to understand that that hatred has a target. When that hatred comes alive within their consciousness during the present life, it will seek that target. That target will be the people, and those nations who have the highest divine mission, and the greatest level of sponsorship from the Heavenly Hierarchy.

     What I am proposing here, is that as the abortion holocaust gained ground in America, and steadily increased in its murderous rampage decade upon decade, (which means that the American people were literally lurching extreme distances outside of the Divine Design that God not only held out for America, but for every soul sent into embodiment), that this fact steadily eroded the desire of God our Father and our Mother to stand in America's defense. By Cosmic Law, all the resources of Heaven can be sent to the defense of any plan or program that is designed to fulfill God's purposes and plans. And again by Cosmic Law, as the plan or program becomes increasingly hijacked by nefarious forces, the resources of Heaven must be withdrawn. The advent of legal abortion in America has had the practical effect of reducing the amount of effort the Heavenly Host could put into their guardian action. The advent of legal abortion in America has had the practical effect of reducing the amount of effort the Heavenly Host could put into their work of limiting the ability and opportunity of the fallen angels to fan the flames of hatred against America. It is, and always will be, and always has been, divine intercession that keeps reservoirs of hatred (carried forward from previous lives) sealed within the electronic belt. When that divine intercession is withdrawn, those patterns of hatred are allowed to escape from the subconscious storage medium into the outer consciousness of the original author who feels very comfortable in that old garment of destructive passion, and will consider it second nature, putting up no resistance to its animating power.

     Now, I believe that the law of karma (the divine law of cause and effect) required this. As Americans collectively poured out more and more hatred directed at the little child in the womb, (in their material sophistication being so bereft of love that the destruction of the child in the womb was given the protection of U.S. Law), the Law of Karma required that a commensurate level of hatred be delivered back upon America's own doorstep. This required holy angels to incrementally step back from their normal duties of reigning in the activities of these fallen angels, who then were set free to fan the flames of hatred more and more. And moreover, the door of the electronic belt, in terms of the planet as a whole, and that of various individuals, had to be left unguarded by the Holy Angels, i.e. their sealing action had to be withdrawn.

     The monumental dimensions of the resulting ocean of hatred that has been released into the conscious world of millions, was only hinted at by the 9/11 attacks upon the World Trade Center towers, and the Pentagon, and other prospective targets. Those who have a semblance of inner vision intact, primarily as a result of their devotion to God's purposes, can see with the eyes of the soul the larger ocean of hatred that exists behind these symbolic events.

     Therefore, in as much as it was our collective lurching away from the divine plan which forced God to step back, and allow our national karma to descend, it follows, that as soon as we reverse course, that He will authorize the reinstatement of the previous level of guardian action, and immediately, the hot winds of hell that currently fill the sails of the terrorist armada, will simply vanish, and this threat will disappear.

     It is of course absolute folly to believe that there is a strictly human solution to this terrorist problem. There simply isn't. There is only one thing that can put a quench on this hatred, and that is the power of the Holy Angels. And once America puts a stop to the practice of abortion, they will be allowed to return to their forward deployed positions in the Middle East and throughout the Muslim world.

One of the single most important things we can do to give peace a chance in the Middle East over the long term, is to bring an end to the practice of abortion in America and in Israel.

     If we imagine ourselves proceeding forward, then, on the basis of this principle, I wouldn't blame anyone for advancing the argument that we ought to abandon any further talk about toppling Saddam Hussein, and instead, focus all of our energies from here on out solely on achieving this great goal of banning abortion in the United States of America. If we could achieve a complete abortion ban today, we wouldn't have to worry about a nuclear threat from anyone. In the abstract, this is true enough.

     But the problem with this, is that the pro-abortion sentiment is so entrenched in the minds of so many Americans, that this goal could not realistically be accomplished in time to stop Saddam Hussein from acquiring a nuclear weapon capacity, and passing it along to his terrorist friends.

     How entrenched is the pro-abortion mindset? In every case where President George W. Bush has sent up a pro-life nominee for his own Cabinet, or for a position in the federal judiciary, they have all said, in testimony before the U.S. Senate, that they believe that Roe v. Wade is "settled law." I can tell you that the Holy Angels literally cringe when they hear that come out of the mouths of those who are supposed to have the best pro-life credentials. The people who are supposed to be fighting for the right of the little child to be born, have had their minds and souls bent into the shape of defeat and failure. And in regards to those who are qualified for public office, if there are no candidates left who will publically stand up to challenge the fallacy of the pro-abortion cause, then this indicates that we are approaching a point of no return, wherein it becomes very unlikely that the people can be persuaded through reason, through an appeal to the heart, to reverse course. When the people become this recalcitrant, the possibility of moving the divine plan for America forward becomes almost nil, and therefore, the prospect for further divine sponsorship (and protection) becomes very bleak indeed.

     Given the recalcitrant characteristics of human pride and arrogance, it could conceivable take many decades for the people of America to come to the conclusion that the practice of legal abortion in America has exactly this relationship to the unwillingness of God to step in between us and that ocean of hatred that is currently seething within the hearts and minds of those thousands of terrorists. But unfortunately, we do not have many decades.

     In the short term, we must do our best to protect our nation with the tools we have at hand. That means going into Iraq with our military power to topple Saddam Hussein as quickly as possible, and then laying the ground work for an Iraqi democracy. This may buy us some time in a manner that is beyond the obvious.

     In this regard, I believe that it is highly probable that in taking on this task of liberating Iraq from the clutches of the Saddam Hussein dictatorship, that America will be balancing some of the karma that it has allowed to pile up in relationship to the abortion holocaust, allowing the Holy Angels an interim dispensation to step in and re-seal some of the previously mentioned hatred. In this abortion holocaust, life opportunity has been stolen from millions of souls. By paying the price necessary to oust Saddam Hussein, and then making the long term effort to shepherd the people of Iraq into a new era of democracy, we will be giving millions of people the opportunity to breathe the sweet air of freedom, and to have access to all the opportunity that freedom affords. By providing life opportunity to millions, at least in terms of an opportunity to live under the banner of freedom, that will balance part of our debt which is associated with the denial of life opportunities to millions.

     But, I would hasten to add, that even if we proceed down the path that is indicated by divine principle, and succeed in toppling Saddam Hussein, and establishing a democracy in Iraq, it is nevertheless true, that as long as legal abortion continues in America, we will remain vulnerable to the returning karma associated with it. Again, in the abortion holocaust, life opportunities have been stolen away from more than 40 million souls since 1973 (in the USA). The returning karma will have the exact same result upon the perpetrators of the abortion holocaust, and this includes the American people generally, as legal abortion exists in the United States only by their collective leave. That karma, if allowed to land on America without mitigation will take millions of souls out of embodiment. In this regard, weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists would appear to represent the most likely path for the return of abortion related karma.

     As we allow more and more time to pass, as we continue to drag our feet when it comes to reaching the all-important conclusion regarding the self-defeating nature of our allegiance to the tradition of legal abortion in America, allowing the abortion body-count to increase year by year, it is inevitable that our day of reckoning must and will eventually arrive. Make no mistake about it. This day of reckoning will arrive when the following two implacable and irresistable trend lines converge.

     As time rolls on, ever expanding oceans of hatred will continue to animate the mind of tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, and ultimately millions of terrorist minded individuals who will relentlessly continue their quest for weapons of mass destruction. As time rolls on, these terrorists will be getting closer and closer to the day when they will succeed in building or acquiring a nuclear weapon, especially since there will be less and less divine intercession to stop them. And, as time rolls on, as our national comfortableness with the ongoing practice of abortion increases, taking on more and more of the patina of an honored tradition, the willingness of God to protect America steadily decreases. Eventually, these two trend lines will meet at that point where the terrorists will have succeeded in positioning a nuclear weapon in New York City, and God's desire to protect America will have diminished to zero.

     I am very sorry to say, that it may well be the internal devastation associated with seeing a mushroom cloud rise over New York City, which will finally compel a sufficient number of people to sincerely ask why God allowed such a thing to happen, and perhaps then, the cries of tens of millions of gruesomely aborted souls will finally be able to penetrate into their hearts, and they will finally understand that they have been a party to a literal holocaust, one that has been and continues to be absolutely repugnant to the sensibilities of all Holy Angels, which has finally forced God our Father and Mother to withdraw their protection, a protection that will not be reinstated until the people come into congruency with a certain level of compassion for the divine child in the womb (and into congruency with the Divine Destiny encased in every beating human heart.)

     If we fail to remove Saddam Hussein from power, the day will arrive much sooner when those two trends lines converge. By taking out Saddam Hussein, what appears to be the most direct route for the terrorists to acquire a nuclear weapon, will be closed off. This will buy us some time in regards to the meeting of these two trend lines. But it will not forestall the eventual meeting of those trend lines. Only the collective choice of America to cease the slaughter of God's Holy Children in the Womb will permanently forestall the merging of those trend lines.
