Gov. Sarah Palin has campaigned on being resistant to earmarks and corruption, but she can now claim to be witch-resistant. A video below has emerged on YouTube that shows Palin participating in a collective blessing from Bishop Thomas Muthee, a regular at her evangelical Wasilla Assembly of God church, who prays for protection from “every form of witchcraft.”
Normally, such a video would be dismissed as dubbed. What makes this a bit more credible is that Muthee is a witchhunter from Kenya.
In fairness to Muthee, he does not guarantee “witch proofing” of candidates. Water-resistant watches are generally guaranteed for up to 100 meters. A witch-resistant blessing is, therefore, likely only guaranteed up to 100 witches.
This could raise the bar for Biden, who may be protected from some forms of witchcraft but certainly not “every form of witchcraft”. Indeed, some forms of witchcraft are viewed as essential to the completion of the annual “balanced” budgets approved by the Senate each year.
Palin has heaped praise on Muthee and cited his blessing of her political career. Obviously, Palin may not have known (and probably did not know) about the witchcraft component of the blessing. Yet, this seems to be the same blessing that she later proudly referenced before the church congregation shortly before being selected as John McCain’s running mate. Moreover, it seems pretty obvious that this minister has some pretty bizarre beliefs and that her church (which she often credits in speeches) has a close association with him. It is very hard to refuse to answer questions about one’s faith when you publicly run on faith issues and use such ceremonies to advance your career, click here.

The SEC has blessed Gardnerian rituals by looking the other way on illegal sky-clad short selling. I suggest Biden seek out talismans from Palo. Scalia practices Opus Dei. I just saw this wonderful video from CatholicVote.com (below).
As the spiritual forces meet I can only help they cancel each other out!

I’m glad you wrote a thread on this video PT.
I just saw that video last night on Countdown, and all I can say is “Holy Haggery Batman!”.
This video was bizarre. I mean bizarre.
This freaky nutjob is performing some sort of prayer ritual, Palin on her knees, palms facing upwards, and praying in Jesus’s name to “buck her up”.
Now notice when he says “buck her up”, which most probably think meant to “shore her up”, he was actually praying for money for her campaign. He meant obviously “cash her up” and got the slang wrong because of his broken English. Apparently Witch Doctor U doesn’t have the best English department.
He sits there and prays for magic works for her to move up in her political career.
Which come to think of it, must have worked.
Thats the only explanation I have for her being nominated for the Vice Presidency of the United States.
Finally, a V.P. candidate that makes Dan Quayle look good.
As with most forms of insurance, it is ALWAYS better to have witch protection and not need it then to need witch protection and not have it. Kudos to Governor Palin for preparing for the worst.
We only have the American electorate protecting us from thge extremes of Gov. Palin. That’s not the most reassuring thought, is it?
I’ve finally figured out why Gov Palin subjected herself to an airline 22 hour oddysey in the midst of labor. As a member of the seperatist movement, The Alaskan Independence Party, it was obviously important to the Gov that her baby be born within what they believe should be the COUNTRY of Alaska. Now, when Governor Palin speaks of “Country First”, I’ll be wondering which country she means.
Actually rc she’s not a member of the Alaskan Independence Party. That was a rumor that got blown out of proportion on the internet.
Her husband Todd was at one time, but he reportedly never attended any meetings.
Just FYI.
Although there is evidence that she may be sympathetic to the party, and might at one time have been a member.
They deny her membership on their website, but their president said at a meeting once that she “used to be a member”. So it is a good thing to investigate further I think.
After all, if she’s advocating Alaska seceding from the US, then I don’t see how she could ever get a security clearence, or be elected to lead a nation she’s advocating seceding from.
I’d like to hear more about it, but right now the AIP’s website is stating in no uncertain terms that she was never a member.
I’d love to find out otherwise.
If Palin is participating in these rituals doesn’t that make her a practicioner of witchcraft? Shouldn’t Jesus be her sword and her sheild with no further need of protection against spiritual forces?

Well not a practicioner of it, but certainly a believer in it.
Her church is bizarre. Beyond the bizarre. That priest tried to murder that woman he accused of being a witch, and finally settled for driving her out of town with death threats.
This is not a good church. This is a bizarre cult, and when coupled with her potential sympathy for Alaska seceding from the nation, we have a picture of Palin that is so far from Presidential as to preclude any consideration of her for the role.
Yet the republicans picked her.
She’s a dangerous woman, simply because she’s a kook with power and is now aspiring to the highest office in the land.
That pastor is an evil man. A criminal by our standards. A “Jim Jones” type, using his power over people (who the hell would listen to this guy, he can’t even speak decent English) to manipulate and do harm.
If you watch that entire video on youtube, it will frighten you. It made my skin crawl.
Jill,
Back in the Evangelical days of my youth I once was witness to a “laying of hands” on a non-running mini-van. It didn’t work. When I told this to my formally “pagan” girlfriend (she was about as pagan as most College Buddhists are Buddhist) as an example of how weird some of the people at my church were getting. She showed me a charm in one of the books she had bought. Other than the addition of some plant matter and the substitution of the word “goddess” for “God” it was essentially the same as the laying of hands.
Theres more in that video Jill than just the Witchcraft incantations that Professor Turley had so much fun with above.
They pray over and over in Jesus name to bring her lots of money so she can move up in political power. It was like watching a witches coven working black magic to elect a world leader.
I wasn’t sure if she was Sarah Palin or Damien Thorn.
I am really glad PT decided to post on this. I watched the full video, and it was BIZARRE. Really, really bizarre. This demonic priest laying hands on her while people stood around, Palin, kneeling, palms upward, while he essentially ordered Jesus compel people to give her money so she could rise up in political power.
If I worked for the IRS and I saw that video, I’d be currently reviewing the Wasilla Assembly of Gods tax exempt status.
If that was not a clear demonstration of a violation of the requirement for keeping tax exempt religions out of politics, then there is no such thing.
Or dear Jesus, JT, this stuff really works. I can’t access the video from your entry!
Gyges,
I know what you’re talking about but I don’t think it’s the same. There is spiritual ditziness and “spiritual” power mongering and Sarah Palin is a practicioner of the latter.
And if I worked for the APA I’d have the guy, and Palin, committed.
Here Jill. Here is the link to the full video on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwkb9_zB2Pg
Watch it. It is so, so, so, very freaky.
“Bishop” Muthees voice sounds positively demonic.
Watch it closely Jill. Those two standing there talking while “Bishop” Muthee is doing his thing. What are they saying?
I can’t be sure because its a poor quality video but it doesn’t sound like they’re reciting his words. It sounds like one or both of them might be speaking in tongues?
Can’t tell. They might just be reciting what he’s saying, but you listen and tell me what you think.
Also whats she holding in her hand? Can’t tell.
Man thats some weird, freaky sh$t.
In fact, if Alaska wants to secede from the nation, I say let em.
With everyone of their leaders either corrupt or into voodoo cult worship, we’re better off without them.
Besides. Think of all the money we’ll save on invisible bridge building.
CroMM,
Thanks for the link. I don’t know what to say. The video sees off to me. His mouth and the sound don’t come out at the same time, then at a crucial jucture, the sounds speeds up and you can’t make any of it out. Is this the work of SATAN?
Gee I don’t know Church Lady, lol.
Maybe.
But it does sound to me like the guys standing next to her are speaking in tongues possibly.
All I know is the whole thing seems errie. Surreal. And that “Bishop”, he seems almost demonic. Like a Jim Jones or something.
I cannot believe they didn’t vet her. If they produced such a video of Obama, he’d never get in.
If by the way you’re suggesting the video’s doctored, no, its the same one I saw on Countdown last night.
If you’re experiencing a lack of synchronization between his mouth moving and his words then its likely just a buffering issue or something.
CroMM,
Here’s my experience. My neighbor goes to a church just like that. Actually many people around here go to this type of church. It’s like the religion bomb was dropped dead center in this area. This isn’t a secular community, so everyday, I am confronted by people who say things that, in all honesty, don’t make sense. It might be about god, the goddess, chakra’s, insincere exclamations of “nameste”, things like, “that’s my rainbow”, etc. If I had to make judgements about people based solely on their religious beliefs I’d be in a lot of trouble because basically, I’d have to reject most people for believing in bizarre stuff. So, that’s not a working plan. at least not in this area.
I have to make a judgement based on how people treat others, no matter what they say they believe. What is their intent and how do they act? I even know christian dominunists, who fortuanately, would not enforce that belief on others, even when they had the power to do so. It’s just not in their nature.
Sarah Palin is about power, for herself and her friends. She is obviously for a christian state where people would be persecuted for not believing as she does. That’s why she’s bad news for this nation.
“chakra’s”?
Wasn’t that the big harry dude on Star Wars?
I hear what you’re saying Jill, and thats a good forumula for dealing with neighbors, aquaintences, co-workers, strangers, etc.
But its not a good formula for choosing a Vice President of the United States.
People who intend to lead the most powerful country in the free world, full of the best and brightest minds and intellectuals, scientists, etc, need to be level headed. Its one thing to believe in God and go to a church. Its another thing to belong to a cult that believes in Witchcraft, sorcery, and performs prayer rituals to endow political power on one of their own.
That looked more like a seance than a church meeting to me, and that guy, that “Bishop” Muthee, if you read up on him you’ll find they he’s likely involved in all sorts of things in Kenya, possibly even murders. He’s a sick, twisted figure who tried to kill a woman for witchcraft. He’s unbalanced, and to follow him like that suggests to me, an unbalanced indiviudal.
I’d like to know Palins medical history. Whether or not she’s ever been treated for any mental conditions.
Since they didn’t vet her, guess I’ll have to wait, but after seeing that video I’m convinced she is not playing with a full deck. Not full enough anyway, to be Vice President over this country. Kenya maybe. But not here.
Jill said,

Agreed.
With this news that Palin is into this kind of “religous” experiences, it does explain alot!
With apologies to the Eagles, here’s my take on our Vice Presidentress in waiting:
Raven hair and ruby lips,
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night,
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
Ooh, ooh, witchy woman, see how high she flies
Ooh, ooh, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eye
It feels like we’re having to stand and bear witness to the decline and fall of the rule of law and any semblance of rationality or common sense. (sigh) It’s really worrisome to think what will happen if this isn’t the tail end of the pendulum’s swing.
Well, ShandyV, you will be singing a different tone when you see other nations taken over by witches and we remain witch-free. Halloween is just around the corner and dangerously close to election day. Have you considered that, ShandyV? Have you? I didn’t think so.
Hey JT, witches are people too!
That is just spin from the NWA — National Witches Association.

I wasn’t aware that Governor Palin had left the country.
Too many false persons try to define God solely based on their own limited personal experiences, knowledge, and if it did not happen to them it cannot happen to anyone else…

Does that mean I have to wait to meet a witch before I can argue that they do not exist?
Most people see the Sarah Palin/witchcraft blessing as either a joke or off-limits. But it’s more than that.
If witch hunting weren’t a component of a Christian belief system, what should people think about a person, Sarah Palin, who thankfully accepts the support of a man who, in the past, has accused a woman of magically causing car accidents and death and then has incited hatred against the accused? Do you really think that the woman caused the accidents? Or is it more likely that this guy, Rev. Muthee, has a problem with women? And does it matter that thanks to people like Muthee, Kenya has a big problem with women getting murdered by zealots – for being witches? Has Rev. Muthee incited murder? Witch hunting has consequences. Is Palin too stupid to realize this?

BLADE RELIGION EDITOR
The Rev. Bob Larson has been circling the globe for decades, battling Satan and his minions with a Bible and a cross.

Now you can watch him cast out demons from the comfort of your couch.
Mr. Larson, who was in Toledo earlier this month to lead one of his Spiritual Freedom Seminars, is joining the ranks of such luminaries as Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, and Jessica Simpson as the star of his own reality TV show.
The Real Exorcist premieres in a four-hour marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel on Thursday night – not coincidentally, it’s Halloween eve.
I had an opportunity to meet Peter Blatty the author of the Exorcist in Santa Monica about 14 years ago. We discussed the book, film and his motivation to write such a terrifying novel. The case of exorcism that he wrote about was a “true” case, he merely substituted a girl for a boy, when writing this novel. If you google this case history of demonic possession that began in Maryland, but was completed in St. Louis by a Jesuit priest at the Alexian Brothers hospital, you will find much information regarding the authenticity of the event. The boys name was altered to protect his anonymity. The boy was an adolescent who played with a ouija board with his aunt. After her untimely death a whole series of strange and inexplicable events began to unfold at Robbies’ home. Rappings and scratching sounds were heard by family members, emanating from the walls and attic. Robbie and his family were not Catholic, they were Lutheran. They took robbie, initially to a Lutheran pastor, he was shocked and terrifed when Robbie began to levitate in his home. This minister was a firm believer in parapsychology, and pooh-poohed the idea of “possession”. He later encouraged the family to take Robbie to see a Catholic priest, as he felt they were better equipped to deal with this type of preternatural event. Robbie along with his family all later converted to Catholicism. In fact, Robbie was baptized and made his first holy communion, while undergoing the exorcism in St. Louis.
Where I live in southern california, it is considered the gothic capital of the state. A recent feature story on missing cats was written up in our local “rag”. It seems that a number of teenagers may have used the felines for use in the practice of witchcraft and black magic..
Many young people use ouija boards in order to get their “kicks”. It is used as a parlor game that has a dark and sinister side to it. I have had friends in the past who played with it; and some less than wonderful things “transpired” after its’ activation, that made them wish they had never dabbled with this frightening board game..
Thomas B. Allen, a staff writer for “national geographic” wrote the book “Possessed, the true story of an Exorcism”, back in the early-mid 90’s. I had a copy and it was pretty spooky. I loaned it to my friends wife, she read it in one pulse-pounding night. She stated that she kept the lights’ on full blast in the house for about a month until the frightening imagery of the book slowly began to fade. The scary fact is the “reality” of the event, the comfort or solace that comes from this book is recognizing the triumph of good over evil…
