FYI: There's been alot discussed here lately about The Family...

[Subdivisions]

For those interested, Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, will be a guest today on the radio show of a guy whom we're not allowed to link to. If you don't know who that is or where to find his radio show, PM me and I'll be glad to pass that along privately.

4. I heard Jeff interviewed recently by one of the Air America jocks.

He's very good on the radio, no matter who does the interviewing.

He describes the Family not as a Rapture cult, but as people who believe they have been selected by God to rule the world for a thousand years.

I recommend listening.

P.S. If you want to PM me the link, I'll post it here and take the fall if you like.

8. ATTENTION: For those who can't stomach this particular radio host, GOOD NEWS --->

A fellow DUer has informed me that she is the producer of the http://www.wvnj.com/staff-sam.html">Sam Greenfield show on http://www.wvnj.com">WVNJ-AM in New Jersey and that Jeff Sharlet will be their guest at 8:20am ET next Monday morning. If interested, you can listen to Sam's show from the Listen Live link at http://www.wvnj.com.

ALSO...note that Don Siegelman will be their guest on Thursday morning at 8:20am ET, which is surely worth a listen.

9. Kicking for a heads-up. Interview happening now, starting with Rachel Maddow's segment. n/t

10. Yep. "Ashcroft contacting him in the early 80s..."

11. I get so sick of these fuckers and their shadowy doings. Like something

that bothered me last week or so. I was watching Hank Paulson being questioned by Congress and Marcy Kaptur absolutely grilled him. After the hearing was over, and though he was rushed to "catch a plane", he walked over amongst the committee members and began shaking hands, including Kaptur's. This guy helped pull off the biggest heist of all time and there he is shaking hands with the very bunch of Congress critters who are supposed to be getting to the bottom of the financial mess. They're all pals and they're all in on it.

12. "Totalitarianism for christ"

[Subdivisions]

13. Sharlet says that Hillary and Gen. James L. Jones are Family members.

Edited to add: I'm new to this Family discussion/knowledge. I believe women are excluded from The Family, correct? So, Hillary would have to be involved on another level? Perhaps I misunderstood what he said re: Hillary.

EDITED FOR CLARITY: Apparently Hillary is described as a "friend" of The Family.

[Subdivisions]

16. It's good to hear Sharlet outside of the mainstream media. He's able to

touch on things here that he is not able to on msm shows like Maddow, et. al. He praises Maddow's attention to the issue but admits that the scope of the Family and it's ties to other nefarious events and orgs, including the Nazis, is limited in the msm, including a segment with himself, Hillary, and Andrea Mitchell which was never aired.

17. Yes. It sounds as though this 'family' has much to do w/shadow govt for many decades

Conspiracy naysayers must really hate this data!

[Subdivisions]

18. I am going to get this book. n/t

[Kingofalldems]

14. We need a Special Counsel pronto.

[Subdivisions]

15. The way things look, anyone quailified to be a Special Counsel will

be part of the Family, or associated with others that are.

19. Inhoffe took 20 trips to Africa sponsored by The Family. Politicians taking

gifts from the Family. This is nuts.
