Thank you so much, tbw2.

I've been active on Digg for 2 years and never saw it there...of course I read it here long before I discovered Digg.

Are you still digging over there?

Cute story but dated. I do not see islam and its backward ways as taking over. Americans tend to over react. The day will come when Americans will rise up violently against PC and Multiculturalism. Mosques will burn and lampposts will be decorated with hanging bodies. It has happened in the past in our history. Fear of such thing prompted the internment of the Japanese in 1942.

The Three Words— (my spin)

It all started in the initials years. A pact was made. June 5, 1968 is significant in many ways, but even that day had a point before it. 11/22/63.

The scene is set: JFK had found a way around the Fed, putting real pressure on the money folks, and RFK had organized crime in his sites. LBJ, a nasty, highly political, ego-centric man, by many accounts, was sick of being paired with these upstarts who were rocking the boat.

It happens: The pact. LBJ learns the power of a nod. Secret service gets altered slightly, local police stand down, and organized crime takes its shot. A nod can be a powerful thing! LBJ, now in the driver’s seat, has it all. Except, RFK finds out, and puts the screws to LBJ. Suddenly, a power fanatic says he won’t run for another term! RFK steps in, but LBJ has made friends more wide sweeping now, and knows how to really make a nod work! RFK is taken out through Arafat. The deal is set and ties are made. Progressives and radical muslims in bed together for a common purpose—one world government with one world religion.

The pact: it is an ancient one. At its center is the worship of the opportunity to ascend to complete knowledge of good and evil. Those who reach this highest order are allowed to believe they are gods in their own minds.

The problem: The Real Ruler. Either He is, or He isn’t. If He is, than His words are what they say they are, and His Son is who He says He is. Some say The Real Ruler does not exist. If He does not exist, the pact may very well succeed.

The Three Words: The author of the piece The Traveler knows these words because they are encoded in his DNA. We all know them. He put them in his story in a very Freudian (subconscious) way. Many times these words float through all of our subconscious minds, but some choose to ignore them, or reframe them so that they loose their meaning. To recognize them as real is too humbling for many. But the author of the piece let them sneak out—maybe not intentionally...who knows. The Traveler’s two brothers, Thomas—a doubter who later believed, Daniel—a prophesier of THE ONE, and the time traveler himself, left to fight the many battles, scared and weary, and still believing...

The three words are on every heart who knows this battle and war can be won.

The words are...

CHRIST IS RISEN.

The many who humble themselves to this knowledge will be victorious over THE LONG AGO MADE PACT.

Merry Christmas, and thank you for bringing this thread back up. It is very thought provoking.

Time to cast my Thread Necromancy Spell but in lieu of the events in Egypt, I think we need to bump this again.

Yes, just like they saved the military from the elimination of DADT.

A must read for those who haven't read it.

If you've read it before, time to read it again!

MileHi,
I read it here back in 2006 and was deeply affected by it.

Back in 2006, many on FR thought it could NEVER happen here. We are now seeing it happen, and this administration is accelerating the islamic takeover of the West.

I bump it every year or so, so that 'new' FReepers might have the chance to read this excellent, science fiction short story of our, too soon for comfort, future.

Some of us have been waving our arms and shouting these sorts of things for a while, now. You don't have to be from the future to see what is ahead of us. Just read History and the Koran.

This is not, however a Century War. It began 1400 years ago and will end when everyone in the world is Mohammedan or when no one is.

Wrong, Eric. Our enemy is Islam and all of its adherents. READ THE KORAN! Jihad and the killing, enslavement or conversion of infidels is basic to the religion. It is the prime directive for ALL Mohammedans. I used to think I had Moslem friends, people whose living rooms I visited in and who visited me. Conversation with apparently normal Citizens always eventually turned to the necessity for me to Convert. At some point every one of them would mention that some time, when Allah wills it to happen, he might have to fight against me, even kill me. I laughed it off back in the nineties. 9-11 jolted my perception.
I spent large part of my childhood in the midst of a seemingly benign Islam in Istanbul in the middle of the last century. Memories have come back to me of things I heard said to my father by his modern urbane Turkish friends back then. Feti Bey once said to Dad it would be a shame if the call to active war for Islam came soon because it would mean that he would have to kill my father. Dad just laughed. In those days the Turks were very appreciative of the Americans.

Nuking mecca will not alter the game. The Saudis just razed the Mecca home of the Prophet to make way for pilgrim accommodations. It was of no consequence. Shrines and history are distractions from the True Worship of Allah. Eventually that includes Mecca itself. When Moslems conquer they destroy the shrines, even the Moslem shrines, in a conquered area. Look at what the ISIS folks are doing. Even MSM reports on it.

A voting majority is not necessary. A bloc that is 10% is sufficient to sway most elections and is quite enough to turn the heads of elected legislators and presidents and prime ministers. A 10% voting bloc will usher in Sharia if it does not cause civil war or an ethnic cleansing. Any non Moslem country that wishes to survive must expel its Mohammedans- all of them, whether of domestic or alien provenance.
