George Bush and the Fate of our World

I’ve gotten several requests from readers to comment and/or discuss my feelings about George Bush, the current President of the United States. I have a lot to say about Mr. Bush so I think now’s as good a time as any.
First of all, I know very little about politics. I’ve never really been interested. If you asked me whether I was Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, or on the left or the right I wouldn’t know. I’ve never considered it and I don’t care to label myself anyway.
But when George Bush won his first presidential election, I felt what Obi Wan Kenobi might call a “disturbance in the Force.” It was very strange. I had an instant flash, a psychic impression. It was as if the Universe itself was saying, “What just happened? That wasn’t supposed to happen. That’s not what was planned.”
The impression I got from my connection with the Universe, or Source, was that George Bush was not supposed to win that election (technically he didn’t win the popular vote anyway). There was a negative influence on that election that caused a twist in Fate and Bush took the Presidency. I also got a strong flash that George Bush would cause a terrible war to occur that would divide the world, including our allies. I figured it was World War III, but the label was my own interpretation. I felt he would take our country to a place we didn’t want it to go, and that we would alienate many many people.
In time, with the 9-11 attacks, the subsequent War on Terrorism, and the Iraq war, I saw that intuition come to fruition. This wasn’t supposed to happen. But there are a bunch of negative energy beings out there who are really glad it did.
How did he come to power? I’m not talking about the third dimensional method of fundraising, political parties, and power. I’m talking about Fate and Destiny and how the rug got pulled out from under the Divine Plan.
Bush is in power because the majority of us are still sleeping.
If you’ve read my article, Pick a Side, Any Side, you’ll remember that if you are not actively on the side of Good then you are inadventently lending your power to Evil. In my article I mentioned that the balance is currently leaning towards Evil because of all the Good people who are sleeping. Bush is merely a reflection of that balance. So, in essence, Bush is there because we put him there.
How do we change that? How can we change our world and bring the balance back towards Good? It’s easy. Just wake up. Wake up from your Matrix-like reality and see what’s going on right in front of you.
Elected officials are merely reflections of our current state of awareness. Bush is a representation of our collective will. We live in a country where the vast majority of people think that it’s more important to have a nice home than to help people in need. A country where getting everything you can no matter what the cost is more important than making sure our Earth is safe and sound for future generations. A world where we argue over who can love whom instead of learning to love everyone.
Until we wake up, until love is more powerful than greed, until compassion is more important than money, our world will continue to shift into the hands of people who value power, greed, fear, and control. The only way to change the way the world is run is to stop putting negative energy people in control of it. And the only way to do that is to change yourself.
Imagine if people valued love, compassion, peace, justice, and harmony. When it came time to elect someone we would look for those qualities in our leaders. If we valued those qualities we would never tolerate someone who preferred power over love, and they simply wouldn’t get elected.
Change in the world begins with change in oneself. The world will reflect back to us who we are. So it’s more important than ever to wake up and pick a side.
In the meantime, what is Fate doing about Bush? Unfortunately, the best it can do is teach us a lesson. The best we can do is to learn it quickly and move on. Wake up, people. It’s going to take us years to recover from this lesson, and time is running out.
My husband, Steve, has written some great articles about how to wake up and live your life on purpose. Here are a few of my favorites:
Get busy deciding which side you’re on and start taking action. Bush is there because we put him there. We have to accept responsibility for that. Now let’s not make that mistake again.

An excellent analysis from someone who says she is non-political. I think too many people see Bush as a problem rather than as a symptom. Sometimes I look out and see a culture that is in a mass media induced stupor, but maybe what I see is just a reflection of my own state of mind.
Thanks for the reminder to wake up.

Hmm. Interesting that you felt a distrubance. When he was elected, I started making jokes about the Judeo-Christian Anti-Christ. They say jokes are a manfestation of what’s going on in the subconscious.

As a vegan myself i obviously have a huge passion for life in all aspects. That being said i am constantly dissapointed with the vegan community for being so passive about the genicide of millions of unborn children. There is constant bashing of Bush and as stated above the idea that him winning the presidency was a “mistake”. His competition John Kerry was openly supportive of abortion, and obviously has no respect for human life. How can the vegan community be so concerned with animal life, the death penalty, and bombings around the world yet there is no mention of the lives of our own unborn children. I would love to see a respect for all life and i believe it should start with us.

Actually, George Bush DID win the popular vote in the first election , and by quite a good majority in the second.
Your psychic impression was most likely a feeling of disappointment.
Our “allies”, as you call them, are mostly a bunch of socialist sleepers!
Yes, they want the world to be safe, but are not willing to do anything about it.
Why do you think that the Netherlands has just changed their immigration policy? You must watch a video and agree with their culture, and also speak Dutch! (France also does not pander to any other cultures and looks down their collective noses at others).
It is the extreme left and radical liberals who would destroy our country and let terrorists and others go unchecked. Wake up people before it is to late, just remember, Bill Clinton, had Osama Bin Laden handed to him at least FOUR times and let him go. 911 would never have happended!
Also, if it were not for the extreme left, we would not be paying these high
gas prices. Do you know that there has not been a new oil refinery built in our country in 30 years? Not because we don’t need them-we do, but because the extreme envirementalists won’t allow it. As a matter of fact, the oil companies explained that this is one of the main reasons that we don’t have enough and cheaper gas. Also, we have enough oil in our own country and wouldn’t be dependent on foreign sources if we could drill here in the US. It can be done safely and without distubing the envirenment, while developing alternate means of transport(hydrogen, solar, etc)
So don’t be too quick to judge unless you carefully look at both sides. Democrats are the “feel good” party, and while that’s all nice and sweet, that will not solve our countries problems, but will make them worse and make us easy, weak targets and in this day and age, we cannot afford to be weak.

I am in total agreement with Janet Schmidt…I think our military did find the worst WMD of all: Saddam…..which no one every talks about…I am sure once Ben is taken out..he will be forgotten as well.
Concerning political parties: I think we need to change to: The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party and maybe: I don’t know which side of the fence to be on today party. Has anyone noticed Congress is not doing anything anymore but hanging out on TV Shows and doing camera interviews to bash someone. If 8 years is all a president can serve,why not 8 years for all of Congress…..our government seems to always be out-of-touch with the real world..not matter which party is in office. There probably wouldn’t be much difference if we alternated parties in control every 2 & 4 years without holding elections…I can on bet not too much would change…..and what is with all this “hate” stuff going on….some feel more compassion for people in foreign countries than they do for “needy” people in the USA??? If the USA is such a bad palce to live, I recommend all that hate it so much do something real simple…leave.

Janet, I understood that George Bush was a friend of Osama Bin Laden and allowed him to have safe passage out of the USA after 9/11. Your last paragraph begins with “so don’t be too quick to judge” and yet the whole of your comment is obviously a judgement on everybody who disagrees with your politics. The dilemma for many of us is how to balance the ‘rights of the individual’ against the rights of all people. Abortion is such a huge issue. Do we sacrifice the rights of the mother for the rights of the embryo? If a person believes, that in some circumstances, abortion is the only option is he/she then to be thought inconsistent if he/she believes killing thousands through a war is wrong?
We do indeed need to wake up. Not only to what our governments are doing but to the part we can play in bringing about peace and justice.

The mother’s “rights” began when she had unprotected sex. She had a right to say no, a right to make sure she didn’t get pregnat, etc.
That has absolutely nothing to do with war. If our country had never gone to war, where would we be? Beginning with the Revolutionary War, how about the civil War? We might be two nations now. And slavery would have been practised much much longer. By the way, did you know that the Republicans, NOT the Democrats, were the ones who were for the civil rights movement in the ’60’s, not the Libs.

While I personally don’t agree with abortion, I have no choice but to support choice lest we create new evils. Abortion is like drugs; nobody says they’re good but making them illegal isn’t going to stop them. It will simply move them underground, creating new breading grounds for criminal activity. Are coathanger abortions done by mob barbers really what you want? Because that’s the result of outlawing abortion.

I’m sure that the oil companies would LOVE to make gas cheaper for you Janet! I don’t even need to comment on how fast and how high the gas prices have been driven, but the demand for gas has still kept rising, even while the prices have increased dramatically.
Sure, the oil company’s PR man might tell you that a bunch of dirty liberals are keeping the consumer from getting cheap gas, but step back, take a look at the situation, and imagine what YOU would do if you were in charge of a highly profitable oil company.
“If our country had never gone to war, where would we be? Beginning with the Revolutionary War, how about the civil War?”
I agree, those wars are legitimate. But what has our war created? Two very unstable governments who have actually in one case voted in the same people who had controlled them before we stepped in. Well, a lot of US war-related corporations have been doing really well! While the poor who actually fight the war have lost their family members and friends…
“some feel more compassion for people in foreign countries than they do for “needy” people in the USA??? If the USA is such a bad palce to live, I recommend all that hate it so much do something real simple…leave.”
Or perhaps we feel compassion for both? Most liberals you encounter that say all these “hateful” things, we don’t hate the US – we hate the situation it’s in and we are trying to change it. I feel privileged to grow up in such a wonderful place.
George Bush is no president, he’s the face of the presidency. The ability to change a few parts of a bill being passed into law has been used 313 times in the collected time of all US presidents. George Bush himself has used this power over 300 times. Personally, I don’t think any man that speaks or acts like George Bush has the common sense to know what changes would be best for the people of the US… over 300 times. Man, I wonder what it’s like to have a president in your pocket.
What happened to America being PROUD and CONFIDENT? The latest feeling that I’ve been getting from our government is FEAR. We fear so much around us that it is self-fulfilling. It’s tearing me up inside. I just can’t WAIT till 2008!

My goodness, its amazing how many of you guys seem to have totally missed the point.
War is not a solution to anything – full stop. It manifests hate, rage, violence, fear – nothing but negativity. The problem with the way people think is that they fail to recognise that there are other alternatives – and always have been. Winning a war is at the expense and repression the other ’side’. How does that bring light and love to the world?
To argue based on party politics to mean seems to completely defeat the essence of what Erin was getting at – living life is more than just working within our existing paradigm! And that includes politics – who cares what the Democrats/Republicans do/have done? They mean nothing, they’re only a response to the level at which the rest of the country is functioning.

Sadly I fear the world can not wait until 2008.
What happened in 2000 that Erin speaks of was a ripple effect, that many people picked up on.
August 18th, 2006 at 2:47 am
Something else I note since 2000, is that your government has encouraged people to spend themselves into huge debt, to keep your economy afloat. When people are so heavily in debt, they live in fear of so many things.
There is the potential for dark times ahead. A further conflict involving the US in the Middle East would be much more devastating for the world. It is not so much Bush that I worry about, but the person that comes after him, if you continue along this path.

In answer to an earlier comment regarding oil, there is simply not enough of the stuff left to satisfy future demand. There are 2.5billion people in China and India, coming on line, building roads, cars and industry and demanding their share of the world’s oil resources. The USA uses 20% of world oil supplies for less than 5% of the world’s population. What was realised at the end of Clinton’s administration was that oil supply was too old and would no longer grow to meet this new demand.
Your current administration knows this and has spent the past 5 1/2 years trying to secure access to the last remaining supplies. This may sound dramatic, but in the last 150 years that we have been using oil, there is only 35years worth left.
The past 5 years must have seemed quite bewildering, but all that has happened was done to keep the status quo. The American Way of Life is Not Negotiable > remember this quote! This is the path you are on. This administration and the next will follow this path to secure the last remaining supplies; if this fails a huge economic recession will be engineered to cut demand on a global scale.

Well…now that this has disintigrated into a discussion about politics, I have to reply to Janet Schmidt’s comments “Do you know that there has not been a new oil refinery built in our country in 30 years? Not because we don’t need them-we do, but because the extreme envirementalists won’t allow it. As a matter of fact, the oil companies explained that this is one of the main reasons that we don’t have enough and cheaper gas.” Although this is true, please remember that oil companies “donate” lots of money to evironmental lobbyists and are in favor of creating a shortage so that the price as a commodity goes up. It’s in their favor to create this shortage. I work in the accounts payable department of an oil company and I see all manner of dinners & gifts for the governmental affairs department, which is the group that goes to Washington to lobby politicians. My company wouldn’t be spending this money if it did not have a payback!! I’m not really political either, but this is what I see in my own line of work. Please check it out so you believe me!
