The United Nations is seeking a successor to the throne of the corrupt Kofi Annan whose term expires the first of the year. There are numerous candidates, some named and some who have not yet been presented. They are saying the next Secretary General must have zero tolerance for corruption and mismanagement. Annan has appeased some of the world's most vile men, in a sense confirming the U.N.'s "unique legitimacy" on them to show how "fair" he is. Doing so with Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, and Iran's Achmadinejad has created a "throw the bum out" attitude and get someone who can properly lead, though the corruption and dictator-coddling is rampant throughout the entire U.N.

There are many in the running and some who will emerge in the coming weeks and months. However, the frontrunner is from Jordan, and a Muslim. He is a cousin to King Hussein, Prince Zeid al-Hussein. Stop and comprehend a Muslim leading the world as you watch the bizarre, and as Avi Lipkin calls it, the "psychosis of Islam" in present and past temper tantrums that kill innocent nuns and riot over every imagined offense. Even America's U.N. ambassador, John Bolton, favors al-Hussein.

On a lower level, my raging blue state of Minnesota and our Democratic Party have just nominated for U.S. Congress a "former" member of the Nation of Islam who has defended membership in the Bloods street gang and called cop-killer Abu-Jamal and Sara Jane Olson "freedom fighters." His name is Keith Ellison-Hakim, and he would represent Minnesota's fifth district.

Ellison-Hakim has ties to Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic Nation of Islam. He has already accrued at least an estimated $35,000 in funding from CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations, a dangerous outfit designed to make Islam in America look benign. He calls for the impeachment of President Bush and is, frankly, a Muslim radical. And it is projected that he will win this liberal district.

Ellison-Hakim's relationship to the Nation of Islam is being mostly kept out of the left-leaning Minneapolis Star-Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press. However, even the local Jewish newspaper in terrible delusion endorsed Ellison-Hakim claiming he is a "moderate Muslim." They actually buy the lie that this man "extends his hand of friendship to the Jewish community and supports the security of the State of Israel." Nothing could be further from the truth.

Ellison-Hakim's campaign color is Islamic green. His appearance seems designed to make him look like a younger Farrakhan. He has been profoundly impacted by Farrakhan's sickening ideology today.

Islam is making inroads in all levels of government including homeland security. The Left embraces them and even praises them, and is such a state of delusion that they cannot see truth. To have Islamic leaders running the U.N. or entering the U.S. House of Representatives is just a step in the process of the Islamization of America and the world through "evolutionary means" rather than "revolutionary means."

They are posted on "radio archives" here: http://www.olivetreeviews.org/radio/mp3/ and are the radio interviews from September 16.

In such disturbing times it is good to remember that God does have everything under control as foolish men put America and the world further and further into "perilous times" (II Timothy 3.)
