So - Not in Latin Then

Reader comment on item: Blame the UN's Power on George H.W. Bush
in response to reader comment: Ego Sum Princeps Arabicus et Super Grammaticam

Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), Mar 12, 2012 at 19:09

So let us first dispense with the reading of Somerset Maugham; for I was loathe to read anything of Somerset Maugham in my youth and have gained no respect for reading it now. However, it does intrigue me to think that I can be compared to a reverend (I suppose a Catholic by your inference); but even as I might describe certain Catholic influences from my youth, I am by definition and by declaration an evangelical disciple of Yeshua HaMashiach, having preference of the transliterations of the Scriptures in the Hebrew (though sometimes cross-referencing of the Septuagint) and the Koinea of the Brit Hadassah which eventually made their way into the English vernacular, either of the KJV or Webster translations being among my favorites.

Now to be certain, I did make an assumption that even as you might not be a citizen of the Kingdom, you have demonstrated in the least an affinity for its ideologies, whether being Islamic or not. It was not an eschatological jump that was necessary, but merely an observation being made that once again, comparisons of governmental ideologies found between the United States and the KSA in their current contexts are not all that different. Each have reason to conduct affairs of state in the manner accustomed to and both are diffident about the attempts of others and each other in the meddling and comingling of international affairs.

Now I will admit that my view of the KSA is limited, having gained only a small insight by interviewing individuals over the past decades that were invitees of the government for various projects over the years and coming away with a decidedly jaded perspective of life in Riyadh and Jiddah(?). I know nothing beyond that except to make the same assumptions of many that there is more to the international influences of the underlying Saudi governmental activities and of the activities of the princes I read of now and again, as in the cases of certain accusations of a wahhabist nature.

But I digress; for if you have not read exchanges I have had with others, know at minimum this: I am not in the position to recommend either the position of the United States nor the KSA in trying to foist either's political (whether influenced by the secular politics of the United States or the Islamic ideologies of the KSA) agenda as pandered to and promulgated by the United Nations. None have achieved anything worth writing home to Mama about. In actuality, time with Papa in the woodshed is more in line with the antics displayed by the parties concerned.

Now, as mentioned earlier, my proclivities of being Biblically inclined are not minimalist, but of a more apocalyptic tone (that of a revealing the mysteries) of why Israel is going to be the proximal cause of the worlds' upcoming next chapter of man's inhumanity to man. Many point to Iran's leadership and their prideful arrogance (rivaling that of the current Chief executive of the United States) and divulgence of intentions to upset the world balance of power-of which I suspect may be a part-but they are not alone.

Let us now resort to one final affirmation; that of who is going to survive the next exchanges of governments run wild; and of why the United Nations is in less of a position to keep it from happening than many think. It is my belief that, although there was collusion from various international sectors, the UN was of a uniquely progressive mindset produced from, in part, some people here in America. Though being connected with Irael is important, they have otherwise blown it. I might be of a thought to be apologetic about that, but it would serve nothing except to exacerbate an already uneven perspective of what is about to happen.

But I will point to a Biblical perspective-read Zephaniah, if one might be inclined to know where things are: Zechariah will not be too far behind and there's not a whimper the United Nations can raise to make it any different.
