PAT ROBERTSON
WHO IS HE? WHAT IS HE?
By: S.R. Shearer
Many Christians, of course, will find it difficult to come to any meaningful
understanding of a man - Robertson - who can, on the one hand, have
a black co-host for his flagship TV program, the 700 club and who also
is an enthusiastic supporter of the nation of Israel, while on the other
hand he embraces the anti-Semetic concepts inherent in the "Illuminist
Myth" and maintains a close relationship with a man - Tom Ellis - who
is (or has been) a director for the Pioneer Fund. How does one balance
a Tom Ellis against a Ben Kinchlow? How is it possible for one to believe
in the Illuminist Conspiracy while at the same time being an enthusiastic
supporter of Israel? The inconsistency here is mind-boggling and appears
to resemble the kind of inconsistency one would find in an naive buffoon.
But Robertson is no buffoon! It's more likely that he is trying to hide
his real feelings - but which ones? That's the question! - and this
kind of duplicity and obfuscation is apparent everywhere in certain
elements of the Secular and Religious Right! "Rank-in-File" evangelicals
should ask their leaders what they're trying to hide - which of their
agendas are real, and which are "window dressing?" For example, which
is real? - Kinchlow or Ellis? and which is "window dressing?" What really
reflects Robertson's state of mind? - his support for Israel or his
embrace of the Illuminist Myth?
