Yes but Godwin himself is said that with Trump at hand
the NAZI references are completely natural. He said that in
the first Trump term. I agree. But Trump is not a Fascist
because that idea is one he cannot understand.
He just wants to be a Mob boss.

I still think he and his buddies are best regarded as petulant
5-year-olds.

Pan, my newsreader, puts that in when it truncates line length.
I haven't found any way to alter that behavior.

This link does not bring up the article, causing confusion.
The insistence that everything is getting better and better is typical
of Modernism, which, in some quarters, survived WWI and died after
WWII.
Has anyone else wondered what the "wearable medical monitoring

One of the books on Revelation I read within living memory identifies
the Beast with all of modern learning and technology, but identifies
the second beast as the propaganda department and the Whore as
advertising. Since Trump's efforts appear to be aimed at, as Disney
has Stromboli saying, "pushing you in the public's eye", that would
make the Orange Taco -- the Whore of Babylon.
But I don't think this line of thought is particularly helpful.
The sub-reddit /r/trump666 runs with this idea.
That 1925 article is the earliest reference to
the Age of Aquarius I've ever encountered.

Yes.
I hit "R" and edit the link back into useable form.
I started using "<>" around links as that keeps them from being
broken.

Also, we're about 25 years beyond the projected time.
Personally, if /I/ were to interpret the 1000 years as many did in
1999, /I/ would place it in the 2030s, probably 2036 or 2039,
depending on when the cruciifixion occurred.
I do not, in fact, interpret things that way (or any other way,
really, although I do cite others' opinions from time to time).
I perfer the thesis that the Book of Revelation was composed considering
the state of the Roman Empire and particularly Rome itself with its various >stupidities like Gladitoral contests, worship of many gods and goddess >imported

Revelatiions is not a prophetic book just one that wants the Empire
to fall ASAP.

I remember the arguements in print about when the Age of Aquarius
would start back in the 1960s and 1970s. I think Astrology is only for fun >because otherwise i would be a world leader according to natal horoscope
and I am not in any sense a world leader. However if the elecorate wants
a less decrepit narcisstic fossil than Trump I am not available. Sorry.
