PAT ROBINSON EVANGELIST-NUTJOB OR PROPHET?


Perhaps the most distasteful reaction to a natural disaster that it's possible to come out with:

On his show “700 Club” - put out on the Christian Broadcasting Network - American TV Evangelist Pat Robinson suggested Haiti’s earthquake might be the result of a pact with the Devil:


"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever.  "And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal… ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other"

Now whilst I appreciate his foundation is working in Haiti to help relieve the suffering of the victims, in my opinion these far right so called CHRISTIAN Prophets are as bad in their own way as Abu Hamza.

My vote is for NUTJOB!

Yeah he's a nutjob. How would he explain 9/11 ? Was that because of a past pact with the devil aswell ?
The right wing conspiracy theorist websites are putting a lot of stuff out.
Their take on the earthquake aftermath recovery is that it's all going to plan so far.
Hold off sending in any major help ( no serious medical help, food, water or heavy lifting gear so far after 3 days ). The number of casualties would overwhelm us so let the weaker ones die rather than try to evacuate them. Once the weaker ones have died send in mass burial parties. Set up camps with 10,000 US marines on guard. Start reconstruction. Brutal but that's the only way to do it.
It's similar to the reason why international aid is sent to countries where the corrupt dictators organise 'distribution'.
We know that hardly any aid will get through to the needy but there are too many people in the world so we've can't try too hard to save them all. We've sent the stuff in good faith and met our overseas aid budgets. Next year there will be less people around and so less need for aid. Everybody is happy.

Boabs, your cynical side is showing but aye, you've just about got it in one. I'll tell you one thing though, if there was any oil we would be in like a shot trying to beat the Russians and the Chinese. When I say we I mean us and the Americans, Son and Poodle. I was going to contribute something but where to send it is the problem.

I've sent them a couple of million bucks so that should help.
Where is it again ?

Scunnert, are you sure you're not mixing Haiti up with Cuba. I don't think Haiti has ever been wealthy. I've been in the Dominican Republic next door a few times and people even ther particularly inland are desperately poor. I gave the guy who serviced the bar in my room a $50 tip and he was crying and told me that would put his children through school for 6 months.

Tiger, you've never played there as I don't think they will have any courses and you've definately never shagged there as the women are all black.

If ever there was a country that would benefit from re-colonisaton Haiti is it, even if under the flag of a UN Protectorate perhaps sponsored by Norway.
This earthquake could thusly turn out to be the salvation of the sorry survivors.
I heard that the Presidential Palace took a servere hit, those of you sending donations might do well to ponder upon its reconstruction.

Dark Lochnagar said...

Banned, it was ever so, but I believe we in the West have an obligation to help towards something like this.

He's just like the born-againers.I've lived under the shadow of these nutjobs mate,ever since I fertalised my ex's eggs.They are more doolaly than you could EVER imagine,if you've never had first-hand experience.I could sit here and give you examples of them all day long,but I'd prefer to have a wank over the cat than talk about that lot.I actuslly fought these twats in a court of law.God wasn't shinning down of them though.I WON.Fuck 'em ALL.Religious retards.

Yes DL, we in the West do have a moral (though nt legal) obligation to these people and we would do them an even bigger favour if we could use the total collapse of their regime to impose ( yes impose some semblence of representative democracy at just local level and rid then of military dictators, voodoo witch cunts, Gangsters and warlords who have ruled them since their so called Republic kicked the French out. Much good that did them, Ton Ton Macouts and all that.

Dark Lochnagar said...

Banned, I agree completely and as I said previously if they had oil we would be in there like a shot. How can you go into Iraq to impose regime change and not, Haiti, Zimbabwe, Burma, Nepal...etc, etc. and a Papa Doc to you too.
