Huff Po: In '05 Video, Pastor Anoints Palin, Says Christians Should "Infiltrate" Government...
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 12:24 PM by The Night Owl
Another great piece by Bruce Wilson...

In '05 Video, Pastor Anoints Palin, Says Christians Should "Infiltrate" Government, Schools, Business

"Muthee exclaimed, "We come against the spirit of witchcraft! We come against the python spirits!" Then, a local pastor took the mic from Muthee and added, "We stomp on the heads of the enemy!" - Journalist Max Blumenthal, describing Palin-anointer Thomas Muthee's appearance at the Wasilla Assembly of God, September 20, 2008

Despite concerted efforts, disturbing evidence pointing towards the likely nature of Sarah Palin's religious beliefs continues to emerge. Yesterday "scrubbed" footage, from a 2005 "anointing" of then-Alaska gubernatorial contender Sarah Palin, resurfaced on the website of the net-based alternative news service The Irregular Times. The footage showed Kenyan minister Thomas Muthee not only praying over and blessing Sarah Palin, to advance her bid for the Alaska governorship and protect Palin from a "spirit of witchcraft", but, prior to the blessing, Muthee gave a seven to eight minute speech in which he called on believing Christians to "infiltrate" a number of key areas of secular society including Banking and finance, schools and education, media, politics and government.

Thomas Muthee claims to be able to dramatically cut crime by expelling "territorial" demons, but Muthee is no isolated crank. Rather, he is an influential figure in an increasingly powerful but little studied, emergent strain of world Christian fundamentalism bent on achieving political power and cleansing the world of "evil'.

3. why not infiltrate the entire USA w/Assembly of God?
they have already infiltrated the area I live in by buying up a lot of the property/houses around here. Why not go for broke and try grabbing the entire USA?

They are a highly corrupt "religion" and they care about one thing: Grabbing up all of the assets that belong to the American people in the name of their "GOD".

Maybe we should put Palin on the ticket with Paulson/Bernanke? :mad:

:kick:

5. The one time I attended an Assembly of God church
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 12:35 PM by Blue_In_AK
the pastor was extolling the "prosperity Gospel," which didn't sound at all like anything the Jesus I remember hearing about would have preached. It was all I could do to keep from storming out of there, but I didn't want to embarrass my elderly hosts, who were actually pretty nice people (although obviously deluded).

6. It's important to keep in mind that Wasilla AoG is not a typical AoG congregation.
The movement which Sarah Palin's church is a part of is a cross-denominational movement...

7. the one around here is the same sh*t
different place. Last plan was to buy/sell all of this property they've managed to snag and run down to BRAZIL to convert all of "'dem injuns". :mad:

The Assembly of God is a disgusting excuse for a "religion". It is a religion of GREED and it is a CULT!

11. This disgusts me! I quit my church back in the late 50's because of degrading JFK religion!
How can these people use the name of Jesus and claim to be anything remotely associated with his beliefs and act the way they do concerning the "least of these" and the wildlife they assassinate from planes! I will let God judge them but I will never go back to any Church because I cannot condone this kind of behavior and mightier then thou attitudes of the despicable people!

12. The clerics are at it again.
I can't believe the Saudi Royals didn't realize that their entire way of life was going to be challenged when they allowed the clerics in their country to deal with all the misery that they willed on own people when they didn't step in to offer better options for them. I hope we don't make the same mistakes.
