With the rubble of the Gaza strip still smoldering, Tony Blair will receive a $1 million prize in part for his efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.It’s Israel’s Dan David Prize, which annually makes three awards for outstanding achievement in the categories of Past, Present and Future Time Dimensions.
Tel Aviv announced its appreciation for all the work Tony has invested in making the world a safer place.
All this cannot be lost on wonder boy Tony.
And he must be asking himself, as indeed we all are…where next? After saving the world for democracy, what’s left?
“A bible…I need a bible” says Tony.
Tony’s first reaction is that of disappointment. All he finds is references to humility, peace and something about a wealth a camel and a needle. “I’m just not here” he despairs.
But just as he is about to put down this disappointing read, there’s a last chapter… that's it!
Could I be the one the planet has been waiting for…dare I say it…. the second coming?
The groundwork was already done of course.
In December 2007, the former prime minister ended years of speculation by being received into the Catholic Church in a private ceremony celebrated at Westminster.
Apparently, with the Pope busy and God himself not available, poor Tony had to do with Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor.
But back to the $1 million prize. Where will it go?
To the Tony Blair Faith Foundation! No, this is not a misprint.
The messiah has a foundation and a website.
This foundation is dedicated to bring the peoples of the world together in the true spirit of globalization and a new capitalism.
Its website homepage starts thus:
"Following on from Mr. Blair's presence at the Paris Conference on the Values behind New Capitalism, and the World Economic Forum at Davos, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation held a breakfast meeting for young business professionals of different faith backgrounds to gain a different perspective. The discussions were focused on the issue of values in business, specifically to address the challenges of driving forward the shift in mindset towards values based capitalism. "
Throughout this site, Tony’s video clips are available, to explain to the visitor, how wrong we mortals have got it throughout history. The video shows only his head and shoulders, so its difficult to say if he’s walking on water.
Yes Tony, like God, is omnipresent. At least on this site.
His apostles are there too.
One interesting article contains a quote from former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
“I believe we can unite the world in opposition to the murder of innocent people. But we will never unite the world in support of the idea that Americans have a unique relationship with God or a better understanding of God's will than worshippers from other cultures and lands."
I wondered was that the same Madeleine Albright who was interviewed by Lesley Stahl on the question of U.S. sanctions against Iraq
Lesley Stahl: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.
Rumours have it that Dan Brown has been comissioned to write a new book, The Blair Code. Brown is feverishly looking back through Tony’s family tree to try and find a possible link to Jesus or Mary Magdalene.
No luck so far, but he did find a Mary McDillon (1703-1768).
