This gadfly candidate -- who also uses the name "Saint Michael Jesus the
Archangel" (note: formerly named Philip Silva until he legally adopted the
Archangel moniker in 1996) -- appears rather delusional. "From the time I was a
little boy I knew I was God and Michael the Archangel, but I didn't dare tell
anyone, not even anyone in my family because I knew that the devil, Satan, was
going to try to murder Me, and indeed he did try, four separate times," he
explains. He says he's a Vietnam War veteran who attempted suicide due to
depression and paranoia. He also claims he later became "a volunteer Secret
Agent for the Central Intelligence Agency without pay." A former janitor, he is
a self-employed "writer" these days. As for politics, he describes himself as a
"radical conservative Republican" who recognizes "the fact that America is an
official Theocracy." Archangel was arrested on attempted murder and other felony
charges in March 2006. "As a matter of fact, he is crazy. Anyone in their right
mind can see that," said the Sheriff who arrested him. You can find lots and
lots of very long pages of his bizarre writing on his official website: ArchangelMichael.info (you've got to scroll down very far on the homepage to
find the link to his Presidential campaign and his autobiography). Visit his
website above. |
