Christian Right - Pat Robertson, etc. = CIA/political/intelligence operatives?

[Hannah Bell]

Since Pat (who, by the way, is the product of multiple recent cousin marriages) is in the news again, thought I'd link to this series of DU posts speculating on intelligence links to the Christian Right:

"Is the VRWC linked to the CIA?

I don't usually like to post what people might consider tinfoil. But, when I started an investigation and I came up with something kind of weird."

When you look into what people like Robertson, Rick Warren, etc. are doing, it's typically political, & often in foreign countries/areas connected US/corporate economic/strategic interests.

Richard Mellon Scaife, one of the big funders, has an intelligence background:

Then there's "The Family" & their covert stuff...the history of which is connected to:

"Moral Rearmament" & Oxford Group,

which is connected to the Kim Philby/fifth man saga:

In which the fabulously wealthy "communist" Michael Whitney (of *the* Whitney family) had a role:

"Michael Whitney Straight, (September 1, 1916 – January 4, 2004) was an American magazine publisher, novelist, patron of the arts, a member of the prominent Whitney family, and a confessed spy for the KGB."

Religious spies/operatives go back a very long way in history.


Pat went to Yale Law: can he possibly be as stupid as his public persona would lead one to believe?

Like that blonde newscaster who graduated from Stanford but plays a bimbo on TV, not likely.
