"Peter... Peter... Peter...?"

"Huh, uhh, err, Y-, yes, Lord, Here I am."

"Where my son, I do not see you."

"Err, I sleeping on the floor of my closet, Sir. If You open the door, You will see me."

The door creaked open and He peeked in. "Why in the closet? Are you playing hide and seek, Peter?"

"Ummm, well, uh, its quieter and warmer in here, Lord."

"Ahahahah, you are a funny kid, Peter."

"Umm, Sir, what time is it?"

"We already discussed your sleep deprivation defense last time, Peter."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

"Listen, Peter, buck-up, I need a favor from you. I have something I want you to tell the world."

"Yessirwhatisit?"

"Am I correct in thinking that there was a $5.6 Trillion surplus when President Clinton left office and the war has cost around one trillion dollars?"

"Yes, Sir, you are correct."

"Also that $3.6-$4.4 trillion of the Surplus were earmarked for Social Security by Alan Greenspan and Paul O'Neil, but the Bushites gave it all away as Corporate Well-Fare to No-Bid contractor pals and weapons makers and the very wealthy so they could kick-back campaign money, making the rich even richer and the poor even poorer and keeping the fascists in power. So, altogether they threw away $6.6 trillion?"

"As far as I can tell, yes, Lord."

"How could one spend so much money on so few people? Where did it all go?"

"Uhh, Lord, how much cocaine and booze could one get for $6.6 trillion?"

"He couldn't use that much in a lifetime. Back to business; my boy, there are 665,000 more deceased civilian Iraqi's since America attacked her, than in the five years before the war and about 3,000 Americans, no?" Without waiting for my answer He went on, "...and the Casualties; Iraqi's about 1,000,000, Americans about 20,000, right?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Horrific! There are also, tens of Millions, are or soon will be, reduced from the middle class to poverty, and more from poverty to destitution, thus unable to eat properly, let alone educate their children, also correct, Peter?"

"Again, of course, You are right."

"Under such strain, America will become, if the fascists are allowed to continue, as per the plan of the Bushites, a Theocratic Feudal Economy Fortress, made up of about 2%-4% extremely Oil-wealthy people, most of which will not dwell here in the USA, but will become, out of fear of the people and toxic conditions they have created, absentee landlords, living on mountain tops, in bunkers, controlling and supported by an additional 6%-8% military needed to protect the 2%-4% "Oil Made Royalty" from, and to control, the 90%-92% serfs/peasants. All but the 8%-10% 'Oil Made Royalty' including their military protectors, will live lives cut short by industrial air, water, and food borne toxins and lack of health care, you are aware of that, are you not?"

"You allowed me to see the future several years ago, The future of America becoming what Stalin wished for Russia and what Mao wished for China. The goal of the fascists and Neo-Cons being, now to achieve what George Orwell predicted in the prophetic book, 1984-a completely totalitarian dictatorship with a totally enslaved populace.

"That is the future of America, Peter, if we do not change it. The only drawback to the bunkers is that water is in short supply, so high up. This makes bathing a low priority. Therefore the bunker people, the Bushites, less the titular head, the execs of most major corporations; however, after a few months without bathing no one would really want to visit them unless they were fumigated."

"Sir, I wouldn't visit them now unless they were fumigated."

"Brilliant! You can probably see that I have been watching some TV commercials. That's from that Guinness commercial."

"I do see that."

Now, God gave me a look, like, "Is my Creation patronizing me?" I was not! Wryly changing the subject, I asked, "But Sir, you said, '... the Bushites, less the titular head' why didn't You mention the president?"

"That's because, after he has outlived his usefulness as a stooge for the fascist arms, oil and other contractors, his value is nil to the money people behind the conspiracy. The war in Iraq is a laboratory for what the Bushites plan for the USA, (or at least for Hollywood). I saw that the Bushites were comparing their 'New Plan' of pacifying Iraq, by illustrating how they would do it if it were Los Angeles, sealing-off surrounding villages, and going town-to-town, block-to-block, house-to-house. That plan is obviously already in place for their take-over of America by force. Although there are some neighborhoods, it would not be advisable for them to visit after 9:00 PM, even with armor.

"Martial Law will bring that upon Americans, unless the Congress acts now to stop the Bushites. At present, the congress is dilly-dallying. They do not seem to comprehend the depth of the administration's illness. They do not see, as we do that the administration's officials are incorrigible. They do not comprehend that those fiends will not stop until they have stolen the Mideast and the US blind, and then they will have the power to make their dictatorship complete. When that happens neighbor will spy on and report neighbor, sons will report parents, and sisters will report siblings, and all dissidents will be hung, shot or tortured and there will be no one to save those imprisoned."

"That is why the Bushites are seeking to ignore the law, the congress and the courts and have eliminated Habeas Corpus. Eliminating Habeas Corpus was the most damaging step Hitler took in purging democracy from his Christian Democratic Party and thus from Germany. You and some others saw that several years ago-that is why I have chosen you and those others for this task. Although at one point, I did consider using Heckle and Jeckle the talking Magpies.

"Right now more than 45,000,000-60,000,000 citizens are without proper medical care for their families in America. That will increase each generation, unless everyone just decides to avoid sex and stop having children. Which, considering the state of the world right now, taking up knitting and Mahjong, or even collecting rubber bands and soda pop cans, might be a good substitute for sex. With all the pretty beer, soda-pop-cans and rubber band colors alone, there would be a cherished, delightful cultural upgrade, for rednecks and Christian Rightists. Do you know that some of the Christian Right left the Democratic Party and joined the Republicans a few years ago? When they did that they raised the IQ average of both parties by 50 points.

"The $6.6 Trillion which the administration threw away making the very wealthy even more wealthy, and making 1,000,000 Non-Christians, who were alive and healthy before we attacked, now wounded or dead, was put aside by Clinton for jobs creation, healthcare and Social Security and would have improved the health care of nearly 275,000,000. It also would have funded Social Security for the next hundred and fifty years. America and the world would also be much further away from nuclear obliteration, than they are today. Nuclear war has become eminent, because of the Bushites war-mongering and has upset even your European allies. You don't see any Europeans inviting Bush over for coffee and cake, now do you? You know Peter, as far as I am concerned, with what I have waiting for them, they would be better off partying with all that money. Of course, partying has its downside. Considering the cost of oil, the stuff made from petroleum is going to be in limited supply, so plastic covered paper plates and plastic forks and knives will become very pricy.

"The greedy and violent leadership of the coalition of Neo-Cons, fascists, bigots, and false religionists, has committed a great evil, ruined millions of lives over the next four generations of at least two nations, all that over what? Over avarice for the riches of oil, as you predicted several years ago!"

"At Your prompting, yes, Sir."

"What, Peter, is the only of the 613 Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins not criminalized, the one my prophets, I and Jesus, have condemned so often, but without the cooperation of Organized Religions?"

"Avarice (greed), Sir. However, the church focused on sexuality as the prime evil."

"Peter, we both know human sexuality is not evil. (See John 4:4-42), if mitigated by circumstances. By focusing on sexual adventures instead of greed, Organized Religions grabbed everyone by the throat. Because all people need love and affection, and they are told by Organized Religions, in cahoots for centuries with Conservative governments, that sexuality is evil, they feel guilty about something, which is a normal desire, which I placed in the hearts and souls of men and women to bring them closer together, to comfort them when they are depressed, or for sheer joy. Maybe it's My fault for giving people of tolerant, Liberal, Progressive personalities more sexual charisma than anal-retentive Conservatives. On the other hand, maybe their attitudes draw more attention from potential lovers. Now instead of good sex, people are using drugs, prescription or otherwise, to make them feel happy. When people falter through weakness of the flesh and because of deprivation of necessities, (however, not of Sleep, Peter), or of denial of needs, when they ask, I always forgive them.

"Avarice is an evil, not a sin as I, Jesus and my prophets, have often pointed out, and which fell on deaf ears, even in the churches. It is a lust for power and control, and more and more wealth, even if it means depriving others, or of killing hundreds of thousands, or even millions. It is therefore, the only one of the 613 Commandments and the Seven Deadly Sins, without mitigation. I give no mercy to the greedy. However, I do give S & H green stamps, which in Hell will get you a cooler spot near a dried-out volcanic updraft.

"Covetousness is not merely desiring something someone else possesses. That is normal. Covetousness is lusting after something or someone, which reside in the company of another, and envying and overtly or covertly planning to take it away. However, I do not count lusting after chocolate as a sin. Do you have any, right now, Peter? No, thanks, I was being humorous."

"Covetousness was the motivating factor in the attack on Iraq. Hypocritical pandering to the unstable fears of the uninformed, uneducated and racists, among certain Christian groups was merely a sugar coating to gain their votes and support. In addition, the Republicans were giving them free issues of PLAYBOY magazine, in brown paper wrappers, on the sly, because they heard they could make money selling back issues in the soft-core, magazine black market.

"The vast majority of those voting for either party in America do not hate Me-God. Swing voters often change parties, so often one or another party has consisted of a good number of the same people from one election to another. In fact, I know of one lady who dressed like a Republican, voted that way in the morning, and then like a Democrat, and voted that way in the afternoon. She said she did that to even out th election. Later she dressed like a famous TV evangelist and bought PLAYGIRL magazine in the soft-core black market.

"Therefore, those who say the Democrats hate God or are atheists, are insulting people who were Republicans in a previous election. That is foolish! People move freely from one party to the other and most of the wiser ones love Me (God), but simply do not want men conceiving of and administrating a theocratic state, and neither do I. Whenever men have constructed a theocratic state, it has always been a disaster, and easily corrupted, as were the Inquisition, the Crusades and the excesses of the Reformation on both sides. The first thing such theocracies do is show contempt for my edicts by rescinding free will. I granted mortals free will and government shall give them nothing less. They can love and worship me, or not even accept that I exist, free will is their gift and free will does not exist with a gun at the head of an atheist, or with a virtual gun at the head of anyone, which is the threat of Hell.

"Some of the rich and powerful want more power, and some even, want more Viagra and Cialis. Ultimately they want absolute power-they want MY power, and then they want all the Viagra and Cialis on the market. They want to be gods. The church ignored that because they wanted money from the wealthy and could not chastise them and still get their money, unless they offered them some Gummy Bears. Also, Condemning sexuality controls everyone because all men and women desire physical affection by my edict. All except certain high ranking elected officials, who prefer watching films of torture.

"The walls, and floors of Hell are lined with Organized Religionists, politicians and rich hypocrites, as Dante said, and sometimes, even the ceilings and closets.

"Iraq is now a living Hell. Your congress should impeach the hubristic Sons of Satan who wish to erase the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Shall I reiterate what you said rightfully? I and I alone inspired the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and NO man shall put it aside for any reason. It is as sacred a document as any bible."

Then the Lord asked, me, "Do you have any questions, my son?"

I answered, "Not about any of that stuff"

"About what, then?"

Then I asked, "What Time did you say it was, Lord," but there was no answer to that question just a raised eyebrow.

"Anything else, Peter?"

"No, Sir. However, I did want to say something off the subject at hand, however. I am an artist, so mitigate what I am about to say with that in mind.'

"Yes, go ahead."

"Sir, thank you for many things, among them, Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Alba, Angelina Jolie, and Heather Graham... What great works of art! Whatta sculptor you are, indeed! Oh, also thanks for; ravioli, meat balls, pizza, Rack of Lamb, Bleu Cheese dressing, baseball and Michelangelo."

"You are entirely welcome."

"Oh, on another topic, Lord, would you like to play electric football with me? You know the game which Death Played with Bill and Ted in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?"

"Err, hmmm, Death? Ted and Bill? Electric Football? And I made you my prophet, right? Just kidding. Maybe we'll play one day soon. Right now you have work to do and so do I."

"What work do You have, now Sir?"

"I have to thwart some avaristic Billionaires, some Energy Traders and auctioneers, some War Profiteers, and some predatory fools. So, rise and shine, my boy, you have a lot to do!"

"You mean get up now? I can't see the clock from here on the floor in the closet, what time did you say it was?"

"I didn't."

"Oh, shi-, err, Hel-, I mean Oh, heck, it's 2:30 again!"

"HAHAHAHHAH, Funny Keedo!"

He said this while whooping and slapping His huge thigh, thereby shaking the house with His thunderous, roaring, laughter and then He started to evaporate. I shouted out to Him, "Wait! Hey, Lord. Just a minute, please! Who will win he Super Bowl, the Bears or the Colts? Oh, yeah and in our last conversation, when I asked You forgot to tell me who would win the World Series in 2007!"
However, He kept right on evaporating, smiling and laughing, and like a giant Cheshire Cat, His face was the last thing to disappear. He wasn't going to tell me, I guess. Shi-, err, Heck!

Suddenly, however, the grinning face of the Almighty suddenly reappeared and He boomed, "Next time we speak, I will give you a great announcement to pass on to mankind about a great healing force. It will be the greatest thing since Jesus, Hanninah Ben-Dosa, and Honi-the circle-drawer, healed the sons and daughters of Israel of their various maladies!"

Don't touch that dial! Stay tuned for Peter's next Dream meeting with the Almighty!
