Pat Robertson – American Prophet

Recent comments (see addendum) by Pat Robertson, ultra-right-wing Christian Zionist, calling for the assassination of Chavez, President of Venezuela, confirms America’s inverted form of ‘Christianity’; Robertson’s religious ideology is clearly Old Testament:

Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Joshua 6:9 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the LORD and must go into his treasury. 21. They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it; men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. 24. Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD's house. 27. So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land. (NIV)

Put plainly, the God of Moses is a God of war, a plunderer and a military expansionist who commits genocide, infanticide and other horrendous acts (dumb animals included) to satisfy a blood lust and to accumulate material wealth! This ‘God’ is completely at home with the murderous diatribes of the American religious right but is a polar opposite to Jesus Christ prince of Peace.

[Is it a coincidence that Venezuela is one of the world’s largest oil produces and Rumsfeld’s ‘criticisms’ of Robertson were extremely mild?]

From a theological perspective, America has become an ideological colony of Israel. Analysts have drawn attention to the inevitability of this outcome citing the principals involved – Wolfowitz, Kissinger, Perle, Rumsfeld, who have their religion in common. Urged on by these and other Zionists, the lobby of the ‘Christian’ religious right has become a major formative force in US politics; it is little wonder that people like Robertson are now openly voicing their (insane) opinions with confidence and a smugness that betrays support from those in high places.

These events confirm the future direction of US policies; no longer can the population deny the glaring light of day and feign ignorance of their leader’s intentions (military expansionism, war and plunder). I would remind those who refuse to consider the consequences of these policies, that this formula spells death for the lower classes forced into combat due to economic pressures but wealth to those who are above getting their hands dirty. Let the people do the dying while we accumulate the wealth is the motto of those in power. The American people are slow to recognise the real enemy.

According to the definition of the Jewish term, prophet, Robertson would certainly qualify. He claims divine inspiration, has a huge following and is as rabid as any of the Old Testament prophets – especially the militarists. The fact that in today’s world his mental condition and behaviour would be considered socio-pathological is lost on the millions of people who consider him a guiding ‘light’.

With help from the Zionists, ‘Christian’ Zionists and modern prophets, America has taken an abrupt change in direction. Gone is the America of the founding fathers, the principles embodied in The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights and the forming democracy of Abraham Lincoln. Welcome instead to the ‘new’ Old Testament America and the inversion of Christian principles in favour of that which Jesus reformed; welcome to the ideological colony of Israel!

Analysts were not surprised by Robertson’s comments, they were expected from representatives of the religious right, however, something overlooked by the public but keenly noticed by analysts was the lack of rigorous denunciation from the US administration regarding Robertson’s comments.

The USA is now overtly claiming the title of number one terrorist and rogue nation. The free world will respond accordingly.

God bless America.


Addendum:
For those readers who are not familiar with Robertson’s offending remarks, they are quoted below:

“You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think any oil shipments will stop…….this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.” [Editors]
