Bruce Wilson: Rick Warrens African Allies Tied To Massacres, Sex-Slavery, Forced Labor, Concentration Camps

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:14:29 -0800

Media coverage of Rick Warren has failed to note, his friendship and alliance with two African presidents accused of perpetrating terrorism and massive human rights violations including massacres and assassinations, mass-rape, slave labor, sex slavery, large scale concentration camps, and the use of child soldiers.

Bruce Wilson: Katherine Harris Was in Sarah Palins Spiritual Warfare Network

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:01:43 -0800

he U.S. 2000 presidential election when Harris, then Florida's Secretary of State, ordered the Florida election vote recount shut down amidst numerous charges of election fraud and irregularity and with Al Gore trailing George W. Bush by only several hundred votes in the contest for Florida's electoral votes which ultimately went to George W. Bush and so determined the outcome of the 2000 presidential election.

A recording of an October 3, 2006 conference call [link to YouTube video with 3:26 segment from call] between Katherine Harris, then Florida U.S. Congressional Representative, and Florida evangelist Ken Malone [transcript of call], reported on in a November 4th, 2006 Tampa Tribune story because of remarks Harris made during the call which some took as anti-Jewish, indicates that Katherine Harris was then active in the same national Spiritual Warfare network which Sarah Palin has been associated with and may still be a member of.

Mounting evidence suggests John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin is deeply involved with a global religious movement bent on imposing theocracies around the world and whose top leader, C. Peter Wagner, has decreed to his followers it is God's will that a forcible, massive transfer of wealth, from the 'godless' to members of his movement, take place.

Talk To Action | Audio Recording of McCains Political Endorser John Hagee Preaching Jews Are Cursed and Subhuman

Thu, 15 May 2008 13:44:48 -0700

Yesterday I discovered an astonishing audio recording of a sermon, by controversial McCain endorser Pastor John Hagee, in which Hagee elaborates on his view that Hitler and the Nazis were divine agents, sent by God to (with gruesome inefficiency it would seem) chase Europe's Jews towards Palestine. In his 2006 book "Jerusalem Countdown", Hagee proposed that anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves - the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive. In the sermon Hagee also clarifies a point, on his theological views, that has long concerned me...

To assert that any human group is somehow spiritually different from the rest of humanity is the most extreme form of racist bigotry. In the sermon recording I discovered, John Hagee does just that: Hagee clearly states his theological view that Jews are not "spiritually alive". Hence, John Hagee singles out Jews as being of a lesser order than other humans: subhuman.

Talk To Action | Mai Tai Dogs: Bush Administration, McCain-Endorser Hagee Caught Schmoozing at Chinese Restaurant

Wed, 07 May 2008 03:47:35 -0700

"...The Bush family and GOP embrace of the religious right is at the least a pragmatic and personally profitable position, as George Bush Sr.'s recent hosting of a powerful cult leader, Sun Myung Moon, shows. But the Bushes are close to other ideologically extreme American religiious leaders, and in the summer of 2004, on June 12 after George Herbert Walker Bush celebrated his 80th birthday by parachuting into Houston's Minute Maid Park, after the day's celebratory hoopla was over, John McCain's controversial political endorser Pastor John Hagee, along with George W. Bush, George "Poppa" Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Larry King and Randy Travis made their way to an unknown, tackily decorated Asian restaurant, probably the sort of place with an ornate carved wooden door with dragons, the type of establishment that serves very strong fruity rum drinks in giant ceramic goblets sporting small tropical ceramic islands jutting out from fruity rum seas.
topic: John Hagee
At the restaurant, call it an old school middlebrow Chinese restaurant with dim lighting and piped in musak, Hagee and his White House buddies probably feasted, made merry, posed for photos and discussed the evangelical GOTV effort which some credit for putting George W. Bush over the top in the 2004 presidential race against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry..."

Talk To Action | McCain Endorser Pastor Hagees Thrilling Scenario Includes Nuclear Strike on US Coasts

Fri, 02 May 2008 06:47:09 -0700

"The initial controversy over Pastor John Hagee's highly public endorsement of Senator John McCain's presidential bid, at a nationally televised press conference viewed potentially by millions of Americans, arose when the Catholic League, a far-right Catholic defense organization headed by William Donahue, attacked the endorsement on the basis that Hagee was virulently anti-Catholic. Beyond Hagee's demonizing of Catholics and Catholicism, pastor Hagee appears radically anti-American to the extent that he hopes and expects, as evidenced by a 2006 Hagee appearance on WHYY's "Fresh Air" radio show and also in Hagee's 2006 best-seller "Jerusalem Countdown", that God will incinerate most Americans now living - with a nuclear strike on America's coastal regions. In 2006 Presidential hopeful John McCain appeared to hold similar views on possible outcomes of a US war with Iran. In an April 2nd, 2006 appearance on Meet The Press, Senator John McCain, describing to Tim Russert McCain's view of the possible result of a US war with Iran, declared war with Iran "could be Armageddon"....

Talk To Action | McCain Backer Hagee: Abortions Easier To Get In Public School Than Aspirin

Thu, 01 May 2008 10:25:44 -0700

"In a sermon given at his San Antonio, Texas Cornerstone megachurch that was telecast and available in up to ninety million homes worldwide, controversial pastor John Hagee, who has endorsed the presidential bid of Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Jr., claimed that American public schools provide abortion services. Hagee stated, "Your daughter can get an abortion in public school without telling you but she can't get an aspirin without your approval." The pastor also claimed that public school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to witchcraft" and suggests that America has invited "satan" and demonic spirits into its public school systems by failing to display the Ten Commandments on classroom walls. Presidential hopeful John McCain, Jr. has said he is "glad to have" Hagee's support and "admires" the leadership of the Texas pastor - who has declared God has cursed and doomed America...."

Talk To Action | McCain Endorser Pastor John Hagee: God Curse and Doom America

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:38:56 -0700

""As a nation, America is under the curse of God, even now." That ominous slam at America came from Pastor John Hagee, whose endorsement Republican presidential candidate John McCain sought, secured, and recently affirmed to ABC News that he is "glad to have." Hagee claims God's "curse" and "doom" is upon America because of two key issues: reproductive freedom and broad support for the teaching of the theory of evolution.

Although Senator McCain recently told George Stephanopoulos in an interview that his seeking of Hagee's endorsement was "probably" a mistake, he then doubled back to affirm his approval of Hagee's endorsement, stating, "I'm glad to have it."

If McCain did not know of Hagee's belief that God is against America, he should have: Hagee's pronouncement of God's "curse" and "doom" on our nation was not a passing comment. It was a major theme of Hagee's book, Day of Deception (1997). In fact, Hagee devotes a whole chapter to it. Here's the curse and doom quote in context..."

Talk To Action | Obamas Radical For Wright ? Then McCain Wants Nuclear War & Clinton Chops Heads

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:46:29 -0700

"Does Barack Obama's affiliation with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright somehow indicates Obama is secretly radical, even somehow Mooslim, for going to Wright's church ? That's ludicrous.

Let's apply that sort of measure to Obama's opponents for the presidency... We get a Hillary Clinton who might well secretly advocate that children chop off their parents' heads for the good of the state and a John McCain who blames liberal Jews, gays and "secularists" for all order of natural disasters and lusts for a thermonuclear holocaust he thinks will bring back Jesus Christ. Do I think either characterization is accurate ? No. But that's the media yardstick being applied Barack Obama, so fair's fair. Point being : if Barack Obama's supposed secret views can be derived from the public speech of his ex-pastor then the same should hold, for different but probably more compelling reasons, for McCain and Clinton. . ."

Talk To Action | Clinton: Coes a &Spiritual Mentor&. Dagbladet: Hes a &Hitler Admirer&

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:00:48 -0700

"Earlier this week, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, which has a circulation of roughly 140,000, ran a story, entitled (translated from the original Norwegian) "Hitler-admirer Received by King.", about "Family" head Doug Coe's visit to Norway, where Coe met with the Norwegian King. In the Dagbladet story, journalist Tore Gjerstad quoted Coe, from recordings of Coe's sermons, lauding the commitment of young Chinese Red Guard men who decapitated their parents and speaking with enthusiasm about the organizational methods and organizing prowess of Hitler, Lenin and Mao. Hillary Clinton, who denies having any links to Coe and his group, nonetheless has written of the "Fellowship" head as "a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God."

By far the biggest break for this slowly emerging story on The Family/The Fellowship, almost certainly one of the most influential secret political networks on Earth, was in ABC's April 3, 2008 exclusive, 'Political ties to a secretive religious group'...."

Talk To Action | McCain Refuses To Renounce Endorsement From Pastor Who Blames Katrina Disaster on Gays

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:12:49 -0700

John McCain has once again stepped in the whole Hagee mess and John Nichols, at the Nation, gets most of what's significant about the McCain-Hagee political tie - Barack Obama's pastor has said controversial things but McCain himself indicated he considered religious leaders such as Hagee to be hate-mongers long prior to when McCain pursued Hagee like a dog in heat (detailed in this video of mine).
