Doom_Art 03/03/18 10:09:20 AM #1:	https://nypost.com/2018/03/03/billy-graham-was-a-dangerous-influence-on-the-white-house/ I don't usually care for the NY Post, but this all seems pretty on the money. Some interesting bits I didn't know Graham first rose to prominence after World War II, pitching tent revivals and crusades all over the country. He was propped up by William Randolph Hearst, and by 1951 Graham was well in the pocket of Texas billionaire Sid Richardson. It was Richardson who dispatched Graham to Paris to convince Dwight Eisenhower to run for president. Graham was also close to Richard Nixon so close that Graham took it upon himself to draft a secret 13-page plan to bomb North Vietnam. In his book The Golden Age Is In Us: Journeys and Encounters, Alexander Cockburn cites a declassified 1969 memo Graham wrote after meeting with missionaries in Bangkok. Grahams plan, he wrote to Nixon, could overnight destroy the economy of North Vietnam. Had Nixon followed through, that strike could have killed an estimated million people. That's not very christian of him Graham called Jews Satanic. He agreed with Nixon that they controlled the national media. Theyre the ones putting out all the pornographic stuff, Graham said, and their stranglehold has got to be broken or the countrys going down the drain. Sounds familiar to what some people these days are saying Graham was in the Oval Office on the eve of the 1991 Gulf War and deployed to sell it. The day after bombing began, at President Bushs urging, Graham gave a speech declaring a war of choice was actually a fight for peace that would grant us a new world order. Hmmmmm --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console. Started on: 12/1/2009 http://i.imgur.com/mPvcy.png <cite>Doom_Art posted [p:897099900] in Billy Grah...
