A PAUSE FOR THE KEYSER SOZE MOMENT
The movie Atomic Blonde is an almost direct steal of the plot twist presented by the movie The Usual Suspects. That movie revolves around a police interview with the only survivor of a group of criminals who meet in a line-up and decide to form a gang to commit robberies. In the process of the interview, the survivor, "Verbal", a man with a handicap, reveals the involvement of an almost legendary crime figure who has never been identified who members of the gang have, throughout their careers insulted or stolen from. Keyser Soze's character resembles Moriarty, the criminal mastermind of the Sherlock Holmes stories. By the end of the movie, Verbal has cast the shadow of suspicion on the "smart" member of the gang. The police release Verbal telling him not to leave town and he whines about how he is a dead man like the rest of the gang. As he is leaving, the detective he has been talking to suddenly realizes that Verbal has been using items in the detective's office for the names of other criminals in the plot and sees that Verbal has been fooling him all along. We see Verbal walking away from the police station, gradually changing the way he walks to a normal gait and like a chameleon leaving one color area for another changing his "colors". Viewers suddenly realizes they have been fooled all along, that Verbal IS Keyser Soze. The entire movie has been a study in misdirection.
In the Nov. 20 issue of Time magazine Writer Kristin van Ogtrop talks about her moment of realizing her black Labrador retriever rescue dog was really in control when she thought she was:
"That they're just pretending to obey, while getting exactly what they want? It's like that moment at the end of The Usual Suspects when you realize the dopey guy who was sitting across the desk for nearly two hours may actually be Keyser Soze, elusive mastermind, And then the earth shifts on its axis, just a smidge."
And so it was for me in discussing the ideas of an ice age and climate change/warming, that I picked up that Nov. 20 Time magazine and found the Essay by van Ogtrop and the cover story on French president Emmanuel Macron titled "At Home in the World" and the cover blurb "THE NEXT LEADER OF EUROPE* footnote *If only he can lead France." An interview with the 39-year old President. Who could also pass as the Antichrist.
A former investment banker, Macron was the Economic Minster of France but quit to form his own political movement, En Marche!, a populist movement, which took control of the government after Macron was elected. He seeks to be an international leader and thrust France into that role with the EU. He has organized a meeting in December of 100 countries countries in Paris to discuss climate change. He has made a point of mentioning Trump who is NOT invited and won't be there "except if you get this big announcement coming from himself that he has decided to join the club."
"The 'club', of course, comprises every other country on the planet, now that even Syria has pledged to join the Paris Agreement on climate change, which was negotiated in ...2015 to drastically rein in carbon emissions and stave off disastrous global warming. Since Trump alone has rejected the agreement and vowed to cancel the U.S.'s climate commitments, much of the responsibility foir leading this club has fallen to the erudite young Frenchman who has only just begun his career as an elected politician...'Today, de facto, we are part of the global leadership on climate change,' he says,..."I want us to be part of the global leadership on the economy and on finance, on ther digital environment. I think we have a very important leadership to play on multilateralism.'"
Part of my KS moment occurred here. The climate change issue forms one base from which the
Antichrist can unite his alliance. It gives him a platform on which to establish his eventual kingdom. And a USA crippled by a climate event offers the worst case scenario on which to launch a very real invasion of anyone perceived as violating any agreed upon industrial limits.
With the US shrinking its international role, Merkel seeking to rebuild her German government after a shaky victory for her national leader and Britain in a mess, trying to figure out how to tactfully and successfully withdraw from the EU, France is positioned to be the leader Macron sees it being.
To "save France", Macron has rewritten labor laws and his popularity fell to 48% in a recent Harris Poll, He has rushed through laws on labor, terrorism and taxes. These are also laws that reach into international concerns, especially terrorism. He has criticized Trump backing out of the Iran nuclear deal.
"Macron says Trump appears to have no alternative suggestions to replace those pacts. "You cannot renegotiate with more than 180 or 190 countries," he says about Trump's withdrawal from the climate deal, and then speaks as though he is addressing Trump: 'You disagree with that, but what's your plan B? I don't know your plan B.'
On Iran:
"He and Trump spoke by phone about Iran in October arguing for Trump to keep supporting U.S. involvement in the deal or else see Iran sprint for a nuclear weapon. 'I just said, "What's your option? What do you want to propose?" If you want to stop any relation with Iran regarding nuclear activity, you will create a new North Korea," he says. "What's your other option? To launch war. to attack Iran? It would be crazy."
His ideas for Europe from his speech days after his address to the UN the same day Trump spoke :
http://www.euronews.com/2017/09/26/watch-live-french-president-emmanuel-macron-set-to-outline-his-eu-reform-plans
The French President Emmanuel Macron has set out a wide-ranging vision for European Union reform. His address on the future of Europe called for enhanced cooperation and harmonisation on the economy, immigration and defence, the environment, security and terrorism, tax and international development.
The president called for a major overhaul of the eurozone with – as expected – a separate budget and finance minister for the single currency. Macron said the reform was key to ensure its stability and to weather economic shocks.
“The fundamental issue at stake is not a mechanism which will magically solve all our problems,” Macron told an audience of students at the Sorbonne university in Paris. “What is at stake is to reduce unemployment which affects one in five European youths.”
He added that his idea was not about “mutualising past debts” or about trying to “resolve the public finance problems of one state or another”.
The French leader also said the EU should have a joint defence force able to act autonomously.
At the beginning of the next decade, Europe should thus be equipped with a common intervention force, a common defence budget, and with a common doctrine to act,” he said.
On immigration too, Macron wants the EU to be more robust. It’s only with Europe, he said, that we can efficiently protect our borders and treat asylum seekers fairly.
“I want a real European asylum office to be created, which speeds up and harmonises our procedures: so that finally we have connected files and secure biometric identity documents, for in France today we deal with tens of thousands of asylum requests that our European partners have already rejected; (I want) a European border police force to be set up gradually, which guarantees rigorous control of borders everywhere in Europe and assures the return of those who can’t stay,” Macron said.
Outside the hall, a protest at French labour reforms passed off peacefully. Riot police held back a few dozen students and activists demonstrating against the policies which have prompted protests by unions and far-left groups.
The French president’s address comes just two days after elections in Germany, which saw his key pro-EU ally Angela Merkel emerge weaker. Macron told his audience his speech was deliberately timed just after the vote and before coalition talks begin in Berlin, in order to have more influence.
He set an objective that the two countries completely integrate their markets and corporate rules by 2024.
Merkel’s CDU/CSU bloc remained the largest party in the Bundestag, but could have to go into coalition with the eurosceptic Free Democrats (FDP), which could limit the extent of her ambitions for the EU.
The leader of the FDP is fiercely critical of deeper integration of the 19 eurozone countries and hours after the election said he would put the brakes on the French leader’s plans for a eurozone budget. A senior FDP member said the party generally welcomed Macron’s speech, but criticised his proposal to create a joint eurozone budget.
The Greens, another potential coalition partner for Merkel, welcomed Macron’s intervention even while the French president was still speaking.
“Germany should take Macron’s extended hand and push Europe forward,” co-leader Cem Ozdemir said.
But one lawmaker from Merkel’s CSU allies said the French president’s ideas were insuitable. “They do not lead to a deepening (of the EU), but to a deeper split in the EU,” Hans Michelbach said.
Martin Selmayr, chief of staff of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, said the proposals to reinforce the eurozone would be discussed alongside Juncker’s own at a special eurozone summit planned for December.
My KS moment goes like this:
1) I could be interviewing this guy in a sumptuous government office, be impressed by his values up til the point of Christ and then watch him leave, thinking: he wants what I want for the world: unity, open borders, safety for us all. Then I would look at the walls, see the hanging map of Europe, the names of various men on their portraits on the walls. I would see mention of the UN, of the euro, of 9/11, a picture of polar bears, and I would realize he has picked all these things off the media wall, all the dangers that can unite us, all the fears that stir us and come up with the solution of tearing down the system because it doesn't work. That he sees himself as Thor in Ragnarok, as the hero of the script and we all seek that hero to set us free.
2) But politics can't solve the problem even as all the leaders cry out that it can and that they have the right or left answer. That a super man must emerge to set it right.
3) And I realize the illusion reaches into all our sinful hearts. I could fall for him as easily as the next person. I want to believe we can save the polar bears by our action and therefore save ourselves, that we can pull all the lost immigrant children up into survival. Thst borders acan melt and that we can all join hands.
The dream is a true dream. But the solution that we see as within our grasp can only be grasped by following the true Lord. One we don't understand or comprehend without salvation.
And it distills to this moment: we can't determine if Macron or anyone else is the AntiChrist. Michelle Bachmann betrayed herself as a false prophet by predicting Obama would be revealed as the Antichrist last year. Another Christian commentator on YouTube has been touting Merkel as the AC because "the Antichrist will come from Germany." Jenkins and Lahaye suggested he would come from Romania. I will suggest that Macron looks a lot like him, may be him, but this is the KS moment: It is so impossible to identify the AC because EVERYBODY ENTERING LEADERSHIP TODAY HAS SOME VERSION THE SAME IDEAS-Country first or multilateralism: all the immigrants in or all of them out: God for everybody, God for our race alone: jobs more important than a career, no career safe because of the economy: Universal healthcare or "Good luck getting well." They all suggest one thing: burn up the system and end division in the fullest extent. And all Europe shares them via media and association. We have a whole flock of possible ACs and identifying any one person is like picking out the right identical triplet from a lineup. Even my initially thinking Macron the perfect suspect doesn't preclude the other usual suspects. I merely hold him up as a cut out target and hold my practice rounds in the ammo belt. Just because someone comes in his guise as so many have for centuries doesn't mean it's him.
But they can sure look like him.
The Antichrist sees the attack by North Korea. Those in South Korea point their phone cameras at the disaster, showing blasts coming from the north and those on the beaches post the clash in the Sea of Japan. The AC has been preparing for this moment, one he has anticipated and designed for.
When the USA became mostly ice locked, he issued an invitation to the US armed forces stationed in the EU, Africa and Middle East to remain where they are and helped them contact their relatives and keep in touch with their command. He had already established a relationship with all the commanders. He invited the whole U.S. Atlantic and Mediterranean Fleets to moor in the warm water ports of Europe. Most of those ships are there refueling or rearming at US bases. A decision made by the U.S. President to get them ready for protecting the remnant of the U.S. Only the Asian Fleet and a third of the other Naval forces remain at sea since only that portion of the southern USA remained ice free. Since NATO became a shadow of itself with the rise of the EU force, U.S. land forces have established a central command in Iraq.
The US President never revoked the NATO pact. And the AC prepares to go on the air and invoke the treaty: an ally has been attacked. The EU will honor it's commitments. The AC will take personal command of the forces to defend Europe and he will negotiate an end to this disastrous mistake.
After all, he is all about peace.
