Hillary Clinton’s secret gov’t prayer group: The Fellowship
January 142010
Hillary Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the “Fellowship,” aka The Family…Sean Hannity has called Obama’s church a “cult,” but that term applies far more aptly to Clinton’s “Family,” which is organized into “cells” — their term — and operates sex-segregated group homes for young people in northern Virginia.
The Family’s most visible activity is its blandly innocuous National Prayer Breakfast, held every February in Washington. But almost all its real work goes on behind the scenes — knitting together international networks of rightwing leaders, most of them ostensibly Christian. In the 1940s, The Family reached out to former and not-so-former Nazis, and its fascination with that exemplary leader, Adolph Hitler, has continued, along with ties to a whole bestiary of murderous thugs. As Sharlet reported in Harper’s in 2003:
During the 1960s the Family forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa’s postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dictator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand “Communists” killed marks him as one of the century’s most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death squads before his own demise.
At the heart of the Family’s American branch is a collection of powerful rightwing politicos, who include, or have included, Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe, and Rick Santorum. They get to use the Family’s spacious estate on the Potomac, the Cedars, which is maintained by young men in Family group homes and where meals are served by the Family’s young women’s group. And, at the Family’s frequent prayer gatherings, they get powerful jolts of spiritual refreshment, tailored to the already-powerful.
Clinton fell in with the Family in 1993, when she joined a Bible study group composed of wives of conservative leaders like Jack Kemp and James Baker. When she ascended to the senate, she was promoted to what Sharlet calls the Family’s “most elite cell,” the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast, which included, until his downfall, Virginia’s notoriously racist Senator George Allen. This has not been a casual connection for Clinton. She has written of Doug Coe, the Family’s publicity-averse leader, that he is “a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God.”
Furthermore, the Family takes credit for some of Clinton’s rightward legislative tendencies, including her support for a law guaranteeing “religious freedom” in the workplace, such as for pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions and police officers who refuse to guard abortion clinics.
Sharlet generously attributes Clinton’s involvement to the underappreciated depth of her religiosity, but he himself struggles to define the Family’s theological underpinnings. The Family avoids the word Christian but worship Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the “meek.” They believe that, in mass societies, it’s only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God’s “dominion” on earth. Insofar as the Family has a consistent philosophy, it’s all about power — cultivating it, building it, and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or “cells.” “We work with power where we can,” Doug Coe has said, and “build new power where we can’t.”
Obama has given a beautiful speech on race and his affiliation with the Trinity Unity Church of Christ. Now it’s up to Clinton to explain — or, better yet, renounce — her longstanding connection with the fascist-leaning Family.

Exactly. These frauds and criminal scum follow esoteric gnosticism that has hidden beneath the Freemasons for centuries. They are witches and Clinton is one of many intelligence operatives reeking havok throughout the world. She is a bilderberger and they are NOT Christians, they represent the Antichrist.

Let’s remember that …
Let’s remember that the purpose of the pilgrims was to make a colony where christianity could dominate free of England. Christopher Columbus came to the new world to spread the Gospel per his diary. Jesus taught to go to the whole world and convert it. Uhh oh, people seeking to do the same must be an atheists’ nightmare. We will answer to our maker one day so get ready now.

this is a hit job …
this is a hit job on bashing Christians. There are no specific doctrines mentioned except to say that there are political right affiliations of the members but obviously if someone like Hillary, a big Democrat, is allowed to participate then it is not exclusive as insinuated. “Secret” or “Mysterious” group? I doubt it and probably because a prayer group is more personal they don’t want personal information made public and gossiped about. This is from low rated MSNBC so no surprise here.

They make this …
They make this group sound benign. But they have influence in many countries & through their “small group” strategy of making friends w/ people in high places have been responsible for overthrows of legitimate governments & installation of dictatorships that benefit the empire building strategems of this group & the US government. It’s an idea of “taking the nations for the LORD” except it’s evil & not christian at all.
Read The FAMILY by Jeff Sharlett which exposes the history of this group.

Obama’s Pastor is garbage. He’s racist and he disgraces God. It makes me sick.

actually this is …
actually this is quite possible for the members of the “Fellowship”. If you’d like to know how really powerful this group is read a book called The Family by Jeff Sharlet.
This video makes the group sound benign…they are far from it…and evil actions in politics doesn’t bother them a bit.

I honestly don’t …
I honestly don’t buy Hillary as a Christian. She doesn’t seem the type. She’s vindictive, arrogant, and to be blunt, the complete opposite of what a Christian was supposed to be. But, I do agree with her on the Wright scandal: if I were in that church and I heard a sermon blasting America or heavily rascist, I’d most likely get up and walk out, and I’d be tempted to give Wright a piece of my mind.

Hillary is toxic, an idiot, threatening her own party. You think she had nothing to do with the legal case.
