Hutaree Suspected Former NATO Chief of Being the Antichrist.
This “exhaustive “presentation has been to show just why under the rules of engagement with at least one prophetic theory of the end times Javier Solana fits the position better than any other living human being. That of course does not prove he is the Antichrist because possibly there is never to be any such person and it is all fantasy or poor theology.
The following Newsweek article mocks the proposition in a number of ways.
1) The link to these Michigan citizens is not helpful. The writer of this news article knows this and makes good use of it to sell his magazine.
They are not good poster children for the concept. They appear to be backwoods, tobacco chewing, semi literate, Christian fundamentalist skinheads. From these things we can go on in our own imaginations and assume that they keep their women bare foot and pregnant, home-school their children, over use corporal punishment, hate blacks, cuss and bathe a little less than they should. It appears that some truth may reside in any of these guesses as to their social presentation. Regardless it has nothing to do with guilt or innocence. Let’s hope our biases do not influence the case in court. It certainly affects the case in the court of public opinion.
2) The article mocks the fact that the Hutaree website links to an internet site where the Javier Solana story is dealt with “exhaustively”. If the article had been written by a Harvard professor “exhaustive ” would have implied excellent work. . Here it is used to suggest obsession or conspiracy theory built out of a thousand pieces of small facts strung together and held together with the chewing gum of religious fanaticism.
3) An EU spokesman discards the possibility outright calling it” insane”. What he is really revealing is the fact that Europe is no longer a Christian continent and when he finds any hint of Christianity in the USA he sees it as “insane”. This is a great quote for the liberal media of the US which has been found to be far less religious than the general public. This is not my bias but the results of many polls of the media themselves. I also find it a bit funny because it assumes the EU spokes person is qualified to speak to the issue when he probably knows close to nothing about the theories of the Antichrist and end time theories in general . Newsweek, Time, The Wall Street Journal and scores of other news sources that report on these things belied their lack of bias on the issue because none of them seem to have gone out of their way to find a professor of theology capable of speaking to the issue. Unfortunately they would likely not have found one anyway. This theory remains for the most part unaccepted by the end time community. I contend even so it has remained obscure for the many reasons discussed at the beginning of this presentation. I accept that it may be incorrect but it should never have been so unknown among those who claim to care about such things. This presentation was derived out of a sense of personal responsibility to remedy that problem. Those who castigate writers such as myself who are spending so much time in this potentially sterile investigation instead laud those who spend their time discussing the fine points of monism or dualism in the debates on the derivation of consciousness etc. They fail to allow the same liberality to some religious discussions. I suspect that if I were writing about a religious debate about the Christian responsibility to the homeless or othersise unfortunate my article and others like it would find an appreciative audience among the press. In any case all advances in any area of investigation involve many wasted trips down the rabbit hole with Alice. The article from Newsweek is printed in its entirety for your reading pleasure. It is my hope that at this point in the presentation you will not be in agreement to say it is “insane” to even consider the possibility. Of course you will have to be willing to be called part of the Virulent elements on the far-out political and religious fringes.
Virulent????
Note that in the following article he states that those who follow this theory are virulent!

Hutaree Militia of southern Michigan, whose recently arrested leader and members consider themselves to be Christian warriors, evidently feared that a little-known (to most Americans) European politician and bureaucrat might be the antichrist.
A lengthy posting on the Hutaree.com Web site, headlined “10 Horns of the European Super State; Mr. Europe and 7 years of peace in Israel,” discusses at length—exhaustive length—a theory that Javier Solana, the former secretary-general of NATO and also a former senior official of the European Union, could be the antichrist.
Part of the evidence for this notion, which seems to be popular among millennialist Christians and militia adherents, is the fact that most Americans have never heard of Solana—the reason for this being, according to the treatise’s author, a conspiratorial “media blackout” on Solana’s existence and activities.
The far-right American theory about Solana’s secret identity is news to European diplomats who are familiar with Solana’s lengthy and distinguished career, first as a Spanish government official and subsequently as an international bureaucrat. “I think they’ve got the wrong man,” says Anthony Smallwood, chief spokesman for the European Union’s Washington diplomatic mission. “Mr. Solana has now retired and is an elderly private gentleman. This is quite insane.” He adds that Solana used to make regular trips to Washington in the course of his work for NATO and the EU but “took few precautions” to ensure his personal security. (Earlier this week, Solana was reported to have been traveling in the former Soviet republic of Georgia with former U.S. deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott). quick Google search shows that the notion has taken root far beyond the corners of southern Michigan and western Ohio where the Hutaree operated. Virulent elements on the far-out political and religious fringes seem to have been struck by his efforts to build up the transnational institutions of the European Union (even though those institutions have no role whatsoever—nor is there any prospect of them having any role—in the governance of the United States).
“I am not going to say that this man is, in fact, the antichrist,” writes the screed’s author, John Reynolds. But, Reynolds continues, “when you take a look at the story that surrounds him, his rise to power from the ranks of the 10 nation Western European Union to become the sole leader of Europe with complete power and authority to convene the Council of Europe in the event of an emergency, it should make the radar of any Christian buzz with all kinds of activity.”
But that’s by no means all. “The thing that I find really notable is the fact that we have heard nothing about it here in the USA,” Reynolds continues. “There is a virtual media blackout on this man. I see Jacques Chirac and Silvio Burlusconi [sic], Tony Blair and Prince Charles on the TV all of the time, yet not a word one regarding Solana. Why not? How is it that this man has flown under radar for so long and still continues to do so. Is it because they know that the Christian church will recognize the trend? That is a possibility. If he is, in fact, the coming antichrist then I can imagine that Satan is going to dedicate extra effort to keep this man concealed from us.”
With this Declassified item, the conspiracy of silence is now broken. And thanks to Smallwood, Declassified can now also confirm elements of Solana’s biography that seem to have caught the conspiracy theorists’ interest. It is true, the EU spokesman says, that Solana once was a Socialist party activist in his native Spain; it is also true that he once protested against the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and later against Spain’s joining NATO. It is also true that he served as Spain’s foreign minister in a government led by then–prime minister Felipe Gonzalez—also a Socialist. In his subsequent career, first as secretary-general of NATO and later one of two European Union officials with responsibility for the community’s foreign relations, Solana was generally regarded as a man who continued to have vaguely left-of-center views. It’s true that in those posts he acted as a nonpolitical bureaucrat, helping to administer the activities of international organizations at the heart of the international establishment. But that may be exactly why anti-establishment groups like the Hutaree have become so fascinated by Solana.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Detroit says eight Hutaree members, including the group’s presumed leader, David Stone, have pleaded not guilty to charges contained in a federal indictment against them, including seditious conspiracy and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. A ninth person arrested in the case has not yet appeared in court to enter a plea. Bail hearings were being held Wednesday in federal court in Detroit. Prosecutors argue that the defendants should remain in custody as dangers to the community.
