(As of now…1:50 PM EDT, 9/17/08…the referenced video is back up on YouTube. I embedded it in a comment below. Viralize it, por favor. Gracia.)
There has not been enough noise made about the following video. It was chased off of YouTube soon after it went up and its tenure on Vimeo is doubtful as it seems that Vimeo’s servers cannot adequately handle the traffic that it is attracting. Here is a link to its website. I cannot get it to embed. Go there. Please, please go there. It is worth the trip.
THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE WATCHED AND UNDERSTOOD BY EVERY AMERICAN WHO IS NOT A CRAZED FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN TALIBAN MEMBER.
We CANNOT allow this movement to be within a breath of the nuke button. It must not happen!!! We are only an old man’s fragile health away away from another Inquisition if McCain wins. Bet on it.
Read on for a little more info.
You HAVE been warned.
The video is hard to use. Keep trying. Let it load some before you try to play it if it’s hanging up. It thoroughly limns the open hysteria that so far has been only hidden beneath George Bush’s brittle facade in our public government. Even if the video hangs up, the audio says it all. It seems to run best on FireFox.
It’s also linked on this site and sometimes seems to work better there for some reason.
Here is an article about the movement in which she is involved.
Sarah Palin’s churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949….At least three of four of Palin’s churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young “Joel’s Army” to take dominion over the United States and the world….Sarah Palin was re-baptized at twelve at the Wasilla Assembly of God in Wasilla, Alaska and she attended the church from the time she was ten until 2002: over two and 1/2 decades…The Wasilla Assembly of God church is deeply involved with both Third Wave activities and theology.
And another.
Check out the African Bishop Thomas Muthee while you are at it. Who “laid hands on” Sarah Sweetie.
At a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of God on June 8 this year, Mrs Palin described how Thomas Muthee had laid his hands on her when he visited the church as a guest preacher in late 2005, prior to her successful gubernatorial bid.
In video footage of the speech, she is seen saying: “As I was mayor and Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he’s so bold. And he was praying “Lord make a way, Lord make a way.”
“And I’m thinking, this guy’s really bold, he doesn’t even know what I’m going to do, he doesn’t know what my plans are. And he’s praying not “oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor,” no, he just prayed for it. He said “Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened.”
She then adds: “So, again, very very powerful, coming from this church,” before the presiding pastor comments on the “prophetic power” of the event.

More on Thomas Muthee:
In 1988, Muthee went to Kiambu, a violence-ridden suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. After six months of prayer and research they identified the source of the spiritual unrest in Kiambu as “Mama Jane”, who ran a “divination clinic.” The “Prayer Cave” began in the basement of the church with 200 members, and, using “spiritual warfare” he says, “the demonic influence over Kiambu was broken.” Mama Jane was forced out of town. Crime decreased, bars closed, and the town saw an economic boom.
A nasty witchhunter. Laying hands on an admiring Sarah Palin.
Imagine witchhunters with nukes instead of shotguns.
Smilingly solving our problems once and for all.
Mama Jane be in BIG trouble!!!
And we are in deep shit.
Viralize this information.

All recs and tips gratefully accepted, of course. But there is so much more that you can do.
Anybody here still have access to the Great Orange Site? The Giant Centrist Kos Pumpkin?
POST THIS STUFF THERE!!!
Viralize this.
Any which way that you can.
Send it to your friends, your relatives. Send it to any moderately sane people that you might know. ESPECIALLY so-called “undecideds”. If they remain “undecided” after viewing this information, then they are not as sane as you might have thought that they were.
Bet on it.

Bruce Wilson and the crew at Talk to Action have done good work putting together this video and continuing to get the word out despite censorship by youtube. I don’t know whether diaries about this video have been on the Orange Rec list yet, but Wilson (troutfishing) has had many diaries on the rec list in the past.
Spread it around.

Grant Wacker, an expert in Pentecostalism at Duke Divinity School in Durham, N.C., said he can understand why. He said the McCain campaign likely doesn’t want Palin associated with the best-known Pentecostal to ever hold public office, former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, an active member of the Assemblies of God.
“Though Pentecostals are diverse and rapidly mainstreaming themselves, the public still perceives them as sectarian and uncompromising, and those traits will not help Palin’s image,” Wacker said.
Palin was baptized as a teenager in Alaska at the Wasilla Assembly of God, which she and her family attended until 2002.
“The fact is she has grown up and has associated with one of our Assemblies of God churches, which is a Pentecostal church, for years,” said the Rev. Bill Welch, superintendent of the denomination’s Alaska District. “Pentecostalism is bound to have some kind of impact and influence on her.”
Pentecostals are conservative in their reading of the Bible and, often, culture.
The Rev. Ed Kalnins, senior pastor at Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, once questioned in a sermon whether people who voted for Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election would get into heaven.
Unlike most other Christians — including most evangelicals — Pentecostals believe in “baptism in the Holy Spirit.” That can manifest itself through speaking in tongues, modern-day prophesy and faith healing.
The Assemblies of God teaches that spirit baptism must be accompanied by speaking in tongues. Still, some churchgoers never have the experience.
Before running for Alaska governor, Palin also frequented Wasilla’s Church on the Rock, an independent Pentecostal church, senior pastor David Pepper said in a statement.
About six years ago, the Palins began attending their current church home, Wasilla Bible Church, an independent evangelical congregation of truck drivers, executives and teachers, pastor Larry Kroon said.
It’s a “simple community church,” Kroon said, that is not Pentecostal. Still, Palin has remained close to the Pentecostal community.
Her pastor for most of her time at Wasilla Assembly of God, Paul Riley, said he gave the invocation at Palin’s inauguration. As governor, she renamed the church’s street “Riley Avenue” for him.
Lying to bend the truth..
≈ Cross-posted from my diary — Palin and Alaska’s Sexual Assault Cases ≈
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."The last eight years were ruled by Neocons, aided by Theocons.
Given the direct hit to Wall Street, this election for the next resident in the White House has been programed.
Kinda very strange that of all candidates available to McCain he picked Palin. Don’t buy the smokescreen that McCain knows very little on the economy…so that should give Obama-Biden a big edge. Don’t buy it. McCain says he knows about wars, knows how to win them.. he’s a big promoter. Wars are a profitable distraction. Many wars have been fought in the name of religion.
Follow the money. Follow the panic.
But I was just shown a series of quite exhaustive articles there by a poster named dogemperor who has been through the whole Xian scene and come out the other side. He/she has written a bunch of things regarding Palin’s involvement with the movement…potentially criminal involvement, considering that she used her political position to support church matters.
Go there to read them.

Scary.
VERY scary.
