Thirty-Six Million Dead -- Thermonuclear Truck Bombs Ravage America -- Armageddon Begins

The Liberal Left comes under attack as Freedom Press International Announces the Release of "Trojan Whores ~the Road to Armageddon~ a Prophetic Retrospective by Jahred Kammen, the Last Liberal". Jahred Kammen is "last man standing" as 14 thermonuclear truck bombs descend on America's heartland. Jahred is given the "sight of many eyes" and makes record of the events and who is to blame. The "Far Left" is put to siege for exposing mankind to the vagaries of thermonuclear truck bombs and the degradation of societies. The "Mainstream Press" is judged guilty of cover up and of siding with the terrorists in an effort to mask the magnitude of the asymmetrical nuclear threat. In an act of sublime irony, terrorists and liberals are united in their cause. Reason gives way to passion. The many faces of the anti-Christ are revealed . America is humbled. Mankind suffers its final defeat. (PRWeb Jul 21, 2008)
