Sarah Palin Gets Protection From Witches

Added: September 23, 2008

In this new video, available only as of today (September 23, 2008), Sarah Palin is shown accepting a special supernatural protection from witchcraft from Thomas Muthee, who also promoted Palin's campaign for Governor as a way to infiltrate the government with the right wing religious agenda of the Assembly of God. Really crazy stuff!

Pastor Muthee and Mayor Palin

A grainy 2005 video has emerged from the Wasilla Assembly of God featuring a Kenyan pastor named Thomas Muthee and then-Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin.

Some commentators have mocked the moment where Muthee prays to God to protect Palin from "witchcraft."

Catholic League president Bill Donohue said today that "for the past two decades, Americans have been lectured by educators and the chattering class that we must respect cultural, religious, racial and ethnic diversity. It seems that exceptions to the creed of multiculturalism are only made when it suits the ideological agenda of the left. ... Witchcraft is a sad reality in many parts of Africa, resulting in scores of deaths in Kenya over the past two decades. Bishop Muthee’s blessing, then, was simply a reflection of his cultural understanding of evil. While others are not obliged to accept his interpretation, all can be expected to respect it. More than that — Muthee should be hailed for asking God to shield Palin from harmful forces, however they may be manifested. And for this he is mocked and Palin ridiculed?"

Perhaps of greater interest to others are the comments Muthee makes before calling Palin to the stage.

"God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society, is in the economic area," Muthee says. "The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity, running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for. That's part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the -- you know -- if you look at the Israelites, that's how they work. And that's how they are, even today."

When Christian believers take over and become "the top transporters in the land ... the bankers," Muthee says, "we will not have the kind of corruption that we are hearing in our society."

Some are interpreting these comments to be a slam on Jews, the idea being that Muthee is saying believers need to take over the economy from Israelites so as to end corruption. Others believe Muthee is saying Christians should model Israelites, who put people of integrity in charge of the economy.

What do you think?
