Endorsement from the Dark Side

One last nail into the Kerry campaign -- or a sign of the Apocalypse.

John Kerry has received the endorsement of one Benjamin Creme who, although described as an anti-Christ "wannabe" is probably better described as "the messenger" for something that sounds about as bad.

LifeSite.com is reporting (from Hollywood) that:

Benjamin Crème, one of the 'Esoteric' (occult) movement's most renowned speakers has been traveling the globe for nearly 30 years claiming to be the mouthpiece of the "Ascended Masters". Crème has attracted attention not only from occult followers but also from wary Christians as he has claimed to foretell the imminent appearance of Maitreya - a being Crème hails as the Messiah.

Attention to Crème beyond devout New-Agers comes as a result of his rhetoric on Maitreya which fits well with a Biblical depiction of the Anti-Christ as one who comes in the name of Christ.

"As the day of destiny approaches, the minds of many turn to the beleaguered people of America whom, now, so many despise and hate. They pray for the deliverance of its people from the cruel and crude exponents of illegal, usurped power."

The way things are going it's not wise to totally discount every weirdness out there. One of these days it's going to be the real McCoy.

(NOTE -- We briefly considered mentioning that this news item came out on the same day that Andrew Sullivan finally revealed -- admitted, really -- that he is voting for John Kerry. But that would've been a cheap shot, don't you think?)
