29 January 2010 By Keith Johnson “You
furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war”
William Randolph Hearst There will be war…and there will be pictures. There will be death and destruction, misery and
pain. But as the United States, Israel and Britain expand
their empires, don’t expect to see footage of tanks
draped in skulls rolling down urban streets as howling
soldiers mow down anything that moves while gyrating
to the beat of speed-metal-deathcore-rap. Don’t
expect to see pictures of a weeping mother caressing
the heads of her two dead sons among the rubble of her
meager dwelling. War is hell. War is ugly. But the next
war-brought to you in part by the state of Israel-will
be poised as nothing short of beautiful; an oh-so-holy
mission from God himself. A very Judeo-Christian and
patriotic endeavor to deliver the oppressed from their
3000 year old cultures. A righteous crusdae to spread
democracy and all the trappings that come with it: a
stripper in every lap and a “Whopper” in every mouth. And that whole package may very well walk right
into the camera frame wrapped in a pink dress and
three inch stillettos heels. Who am I talking about?
Why none other than the “Good Ship” Sarah Palin of
course; with a bible tucked under one arm and a
“special needs” child in the other, standing in front
of an American flag with a radiant smile and long tan
legs running all the way down from the hem of her
short skirt to the floor of the stage. And if you ask
her if we should send more of our children off to die
in another one of Israel’s wars she will most
certainly reply with her patented “You betcha!” I’d thought we’d heard the last of Mrs. Palin
after witnessing her pathetic performance in various
debates and interviews and following all the scorn she
received in the main stream press, the Saturday Night
Live parodies and the very fact that she and running
mate John McCain lost the election. But I was wrong.
What alerted me to my analytical error was a recent
CBS poll that indicated that she had very little
chance of rallying enough support to be considered a
serious GOP candidate in 2012. Was that meant to
discourage her? To the casual observer perhaps. But
that’s not how I see it. I see this as just another
episode in the on-going Sarah Palin saga that will no
doubt extend into the next two years. Sarah Palin is meant to be portrayed as a victim,
an underdog, a come from behind, “Never say die”,
grass-roots scrapper alienated by the main-stream
press. She’s meant to look that way in order to lure
good, well intentioned patriots into her camp. And
good, well intentioned patriots will be fooled. They
will insist that if the MSM is treating her so
unfairly she must be the genuine article. But that’s
just what they want you to think. They want you
believe that Sarah Palin has “gone rouge”, that she
has distanced herself from the Republican Party and is
now “doing things her way!” They want her to come off
as arrogant and bitter with a fresh fighting spirit
hell-bent on proving them all wrong. But is Sarah Palin the genuine article? Is her
popularity really as grass-roots as they would have
you believe? One need only do an eBay search of the
name Palin to conclude that their ain’t nothing
grass-roots about her at all. There are over 2000
Sarah Palin related items up for bid. There are Sarah
Palin dolls, posters, calendars, commemorative watches
and knives. She has a best selling book (no doubt
written by a ghost writer), 2 comic books, 3 video
games, and dozens of “Sarah Palin 2012” placards,
buttons and T-shirts. She even has her own coloring
book. That’s right. Now your kids can color in Sarah
Palin’s blouse before she sends them off to die! Just
for fun I typed in another likely 2012 GOP hopeful:
Newt Gingrich. Now here is a guy who has been around
a long time and has authored several books. How many
eBay items? 244. Sarah Palin has the same cult appeal as some of our
most popular U.S. Presidents. But the one she reminds
me of the most is another Zionist shill by the name of
Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, the subject of Martin
Scorseses’ next film written by Nicholas Meyer and
Edmund Morris (I’ll leave that last part to your
imagination as to why I mentioned them). This film,
starring the handsome and popular Leonardo DiCaprio,
should come out just in time to work to Ms. Palin’s
advantage and help stoke her ever increasing populist
support. But before I start drawing parallels between
the two, let me point out an important highlight in
the life of “Teddy” Roosevelt and how that inspired me
to title this piece: During Theodore Roosevelt’s run for the
governorship of New York, flyers began circulating in
Jewish communities with the title “Who Takes Revenge
For Us?” It’s opening sentence was “Every
respectable citizen, every good American and every
true Jew, must and will vote for the Republican
gubernatorial candidate – Theodore Roosevelt.”
They were capitalizing on Roosevelt’s wartime rise to
fame during the Spanish-American War and his creation
of the “Rough Riders”, a regiment of
physically exceptional volunteers who led an attack on
San Juan Hill in Cuba that contributed to the American
defeat against the Spanish in 1898. To rally support for Roosevelt, the Republicans
stoked the sentiments of hatred against the Spanish
for the ill treatment the Jews had suffered under the
Spanish Inquisition. The flyers were to remind Jews
that: “Our ancestors, good and useful citizens, made
rich Spain’s treasury; outfitted the ships which
discovered America and gave Spain the power that made
her a great nation. How did Spain reward them? Spain
took away everything her Jews had, and she sent her
Jews to the dungeons of the Inquisition and the fires
of the auto da fe. When President McKinley gave the
word that Spain should move out of the New World,
Theodore Roosevelt worked day and night until he
worked out all the plans for our navy and then, at his
own, expense organized a Regiment of Rough Riders and
went to the battle field to meet the foe. . . Under
Roosevelt’s command there were many Jewish Rough
riders. Roosevelt was like a brother to them. He
recommended them to the president for promotions, and
sang their praises to the world.” The flyers were meant to recruit Jewish support for
Roosevelt’s candidacy but fell short by a vast
majority due to the infancy of Jewish immigration.
New York Jews sided with the Democratic Party who was
more sympathetic to the plight of new arrivals and
their difficulty in finding work. But it laid the
ground work for an eventual meteoric rise to fame and
Jewish support that would eventually secure him the
presidency. So now let’s examine the lives and careers of both
Roosevelt and Palin. When you do you will find some
striking similarities: Both were seated Governors at
the time they were recruited by the GOP as Vice
Presidential candidates. Both were athletic outdoorsy
types. Both were known as “corruption fighters”.
They both had mass appeal and peppered their speeches
with catchy slogans like “I speak softly but I
carry a big stick” or “I was just your
average hockey mom who joined the PTA..” and
“You betcha”. Both portrayed war as a gallant
and adventurous campaign that is as American as
baseball and apple pie. Both wore glasses (O.K.,
let me have some fun here), and both were and are
destined to become beloved and colorful characters
throughout the pages of history books primarily due to
their shared love of the state of Israel. And
although Israel didn’t exist during the time of
Roosevelt, he was certainly an ardent supporter of
it’s creation. Roosevelt is known to have said that
“It seems to me that it is entirely proper to
start a Zionist State around Jerusalem, and [that] the
Jews be given control of Palestine.” Though it is difficult to judge the sincerity and
motivations that guided Roosevelt during his political
career, I can say with the uttmost confidence that
Sarah Palin is“the real deal”. Do I like her? No.
Do I think she is good for America? Definitely not.
But I do believe that she is sincere. I believe that
she believes in everything that she stands for.
That’s what sets her apart from other politicians and
that’s what makes her so dangerous. She can’t be
bought and she can’t be sold. As far as she is
concerened she is doing God’s work and she does not
intend to fade quietly into the night. Likewise for
her most ardent supporters; the evangelical Juedo-Christians
whose minds are so warped that their greatest dream in
life is to die; not a natural death but more along the
lines of the “Hale-bopp Comet Cult”: a group
waiting for something to make a pass across planet
Earth in order to facilitate an “ouch-less” suicide
pact that simultaneously swoops up all members from
the difficulties of life and delivers them into an
eternal utopia of bliss. But while they’re waiting,
they’d like to see all E-vile Mooslims either
converted to Christianity or exterminated while at the
same time transforming America into a theocratic
police-state. Think I’m kidding? I’m sure Sarah Palin could
describe her plan in more appealing ways. But
regardless of which version is easier on your ears (or
eyes), you know I’m telling the truth. I truly believe that Mrs. Palin would give her life
for God and country. She would never ask of you what
she would not do herself. And she has already
demonstrated that by packing her own son off to war.
I must commend her for living up to her convictions,
no matter how wrong-headed I find them to be. So what are her priorities? What direction would
she take this country in? Well, if you judge by the
2008 McCain/Palin campaign slogan you have your
answer: “Country First”. But which
country? My guess is Israel. But Sarah Palin is not your typical Sunday morning
John Hagee war-hawk. This Christian soldier is on the
extreme right of even that group of crazies. Palin
was schooled in a church that preached the “Third
Wave, Latter Rain, Dominionist” form of
evangelical, dispensationalist theocracy. I plucked this from an article I found on the
Information Clearing House website dated September 5,
2008 by Rachel Tabachnik titled “Palin’s Churches
and the Third Wave”: Sarah Palin has refused to acknowledge
belonging to any specific denomination or any
particular religious stream. However, it is now well
documented that she spent her youth in an Assembly of
God church and has regularly attended another AoG
church, as well as two Independent Churches. At least
three of four of these churches have close ties to
prominent organizations and leaders in the Third Wave
movement, also known as the New Apostolic Reformation…. As Pentecostal denominations were developing
institutionally and joining forces with the larger
Evangelical body, a new revival was brewing. It was
grounded in the ideas of Latter Rain, a theology that
had, from the beginnings of Pentecostalism, been used
to juxtapose their belief in their end time
supernatural gifts with the imminent doomsday scenario
of Dispensationalism. The New Order of the Latter
Rain was led by faith healer William Branham. George
Warnock wrote Feast of Tabernacles in 1951, considered
to be the classic text of the movement. These theologies greatly altered the doomsday
narrative of Dispensationalism. Dispensationalists
were consumed with the role `ethnic Jews’ must play in
the apocalyptic drama by returning to Israel and
rebuilding the Temple. Warnock’s Feast of Tabernacles
redefined the Jewish feast days in Christian terms
with each representing a fulfillment of the coming
Kingdom of Jesus. The Feast of Tabernacles, which
corresponds with the Jewish celebration of Sukkot, is
not yet fulfilled. Its fulfillment signifies the
manifestation of the Sons of God or Overcomers who
would take dominion over the earth. There would be no
more waiting passively for the Rapture. A
non-denominational and global church not divided by
doctrine would be restored through the Fivefold
Ministry and recapture the earth from evil, therefore
allowing the return of Jesus. The most extreme form
of this theology included the idea that these Manifest
Sons of Gods would achieve perfection of the saints
and become like small gods themselves with great
supernatural powers. And… Dominionism encompasses Christian groups which
believe that they must work not only to improve the
world, but that they are mandated to literally take
dominion over society and government of the U.S and
the earth. Her church in Wasilla, Alaska is also known to
engage in a practice known as “Spiritual Warfare”; a
military model designed around a regiment of hard
praying and arm-twisting. Now we already know how devoted this woman is to
Israel. We know that she had an Israeli flag
prominently displayed in her Governor’s office and she
has been quoted as saying that we cannot “second guess
Israel”. So what does this kind of thinking lead us
to conclude? There is nothing this woman would not do
for Israel. There is no crime or atrocity that Israel
could commit that would warrant even the slightest
criticism. Her very soul depends on complete,
unconditional, blind allegiance to the State of
Israel. Scary, huh? And now it is rumored that World Net Daily
chief Joseph Farah is being considered as a potential
running mate. Can you imagine that? Look out world!
Jesus is coming…and he’s pissed! Sure she’s as dumb as a box of rocks but when has
knowing anything been a pre-requisite for acquiring
political clout. Just look at clowns like Glenn Beck
and Rush Limbaugh. These two guys spun top 40 records
before they became respected political pundits. Two
of the toughest talking men in America haven’t even
served in the military or even been in a fight. They
prove that you don’t have to have an exceptional mind
or any amount of political experience to make good
with the American people. All it takes is one thing:
allegiance Israel. Do that and the fame and money
will start pouring in. That’s right, folks! The Sarah Palin cancer is no
longer in remission! It has now become malignant and
is coming to a town near you! Next stop: Nashville,
Tennessee, where Sarah Palin and her band of
“Rough Riders” will attempt to take the “Tea
Party Movement” by storm. And, as expected, many
from the Republican Party have decided to distance
themselves from this event. But that only gives her
more strength. It gives her “Street Cred” to the
hapless patriots that will be suckered into her web. Snap out of it, Patriots! I don’t suggest that you
not attend; to the contrary. Show up in full force.
Make your way to the front of the stage and hoist
those signs high: “NO MORE WARS FOR ISRAEL!” Make a
scene! Be heard! Don’t let her horses trample you
down. Stand your ground…and take that hill! |
