Bush = Greg Stillson?
Greg Stillson being the politician in The Dead Zone that Christopher Walken has a vision of, ending the world with a nuclear strike.
Someone with the handle 'Ms. Nienna', who posted on the old NYT forums, was more definitive:
George Walker Bush = 'Beware Gog. He lurks'.
George Walker Bush = 'Berserk - a huge glow'.
These are the only two instances where Ms. Nienna posted in anything other than dire biblical quotations. This is one sequence:
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler
Ecclesiastes 10:5
Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child
Ecclesiastes 10:16
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Micah 6:12
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Esther 8:6
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Isaiah 29:14
All of it addresses neoconservatism. Some people were terrified. She addressed me once. I didn't take her advice.
Here's hoping Bush actually lets us have an election this fall. He may not perceive it to be in his interest.
