Sarah Palin’s Strange Scientology Connections

Governor Sarah Palin With New BFF Fox Anchor Greta Van Susteren
Governor of Alaska and popular maverick Sarah Palin, is according to the Washington Post, “simultaneously the hottest commodity on the Republican fund-raising circuit and a figure of ridicule among Democrats (and even many Independents) who believe that her status as a national figure is entirely undeserved.”
Well I agree that her status is definitely undeserved.
Sarah Palin wasn’t able to wink herself into the vice presidency, but she is aiming her peepers for 2012. After many embarrassing whoopsies like her pregnant daughter, the whole “Trooper Gate” fiasco and let’s not forget that back in 2005, just before she was elected governor, Pastor Thomas Muthee of the Wasilla Assembly of God Church blessed Sarah and asked that Sarah be protected from witchcraft, and said that electing Sarah Palin would help keep witchcraft out of schools, and help the right wing.
This blessing was caught on video and was posted on Youtube and received over 700,00.00 views. Two days later she formally announced her gubernatorial bid and was elected the next year. Nuff said.
You would think that this time around, Sarah Palin would really be minding her P’s and Q’s and be more cautious not to create a pre-2012 election faux pas.
Think again.
Since her failed efforts to become Vice President of the United States, Palin’s kept herself busy getting cozy with uber Scientologist Greta Van Susteren and her husband and fellow Scientologist, lawyer John P. Coale. Geoffrey Dunn had this to say about the Susteren/Palin connection in a recent article on The Huffington Post:
“Ever since Palin was first selected as John McCain’s running mate last August, Van Susteren–she of the rather severe face lift and right-wing tilt–has been utterly infatuated with the Palins (especially with Todd) and has enjoyed unequaled access to the Last Frontier’s first couple and their family. “
But just how did Susteren’s husband get involved in the Palin love-fest? Perhaps knowing more aobut Coale will help make the connection.
John P. Coale has contributed to several political campaigns. Especially WOMEN’S campaigns. He has financially helped Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Greta boasts, “He has fun doing it. He happens to enjoy helping them with advice. He likes to see women succeed…” Coale has been quoted as saying “he talks to Palin regularly and that she is a “fascinating person” who is “definitely not what the right thinks or the left thinks.” Fascinating?
I find it hard to believe that Coale would find her “fascinating” or that his only agenda is to “help” her. Followers of Scientology just don’t work that way. Scientologists, especially the powerful ones, have one common goal, to further Scientology. If you believe Coale’s intentions are true, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. There are no freebies in Scientology.
So how does Scientology fit in the man behind Greta Van Susteren? Besides being a well known Washington lawyer, he is also an OT VII (Operating Thetan 7) which is currently only one level away from the highest OT level on Scientology’s Bridge To Total Freedom.
What can an OT 7 do? In truth, nothing a none-OT 7 can do, but according to Scientology, they can “project intention.” Here’s a fair use extract from Scientology’s OT VII Advanced Technology. Part of an OT-VII Scientology drill is the following, “Find some plants, trees, etc., and communicate to them individually until you know they have received you communication.” Apparently John thought that this “knowledge” was DEFINITELY worth every penny of the over $300,000.00 he spent to get to that level. You know what they say, knowledge is power, and apparently really expensive.
Coale also backed Hillary Clinton in the primary. No surprise there. Bill Clinton was very receptive of John Travolta’s pleas for him to ask Germany to be more warm and fuzzy with Scientology. Despite prior friendliness towards Democrats, Coale then shocked everyone by backing McCain in the presidential election and has been sucking up to Governor Palin ever since.
He also represented Lisa Marie Presley in her divorce from Michael Jackson. Wasn’t that divorce so tragic?
Since last August, he has been on the Board of Directors of UMMS (University of Maryland Medical System). …YES a Scientologist on the Board of the UMMS Medical System. I kid you not.
He was appointed to that position by Governor Martin O’Malley after Coale “lent” him $500,000 to clear up his 2006 campaign debts. What a splendid idea O’Malley had! Especially when you consider Scientology’s main missions is to “obliterate psychiatry”. No conflict of interest there!
Coale is also known as an ambulance chaser. He aquired the name “Bhopal Coale” for swooping into India after the 1984 Union Carbide Corp. poison gas leak that killed more than
2,000 people.
In 1998 the St. Petersburg Times wrote about Coale: “Train wrecks, plane crashes, fires — you name it, the avuncular Coale has been there, trolling for business among grieving survivors. Valujet’s plunge into the Everglades in 1996 gave him several cases. He has handled politically charged suits against tobacco companies and gun makers. He was a key negotiator of the now-defunct $360-billion federal settlement that was supposed to end cigarette makers’ liability for smoking deaths in exchange for cash payments to the government. Coale was perfectly suited for Scientology, a group well known for circling tragedy like starving vultures.
So how did Coale get into Scientology? Drug addiction apparently.
“I did a lot of drugs back in college,” he explained. “Into the ’80s, I didn’t do a lot of them, but I felt that I wanted to handle this problem, and Scientology handled it.” They handled it alright. What they did, was put their hands in his pockets.
Circling back to the Coale/Susteren/Palin connection.
Anyone who is familiar with the Alaskan governor knows Palin is a very devout Christian. Palin is also staunchly pro-life and this is a major source of her appeal to the Christian base she so adeptly courted during the presidential race. The obvious question is how will this Christian base respond to Palin being advised by a high-level practicing Scientologist?
That certainly depends on whether Palin and her supporters find out about Scientology’s history of forced and coerced abortions. There is currently a pending lawsuit against the Church which outlines these forced abortions by a very convincing witness, and rest assured, the abortion issue is the tip of the iceberg. There’s the whole “Christ never existed” belief which is part of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings. According to Hubbard:
For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has
been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings inspired to see where it all inevitably leads. It Is historic fact and yet man still clings to the ideal. so deep and insidious is the biologic implanting.”
Apparently LRH and creator of Scientology taught his followers that Jesus’ divinity was only a myth and he was in fact an homosexual and a pedophile (’cuz you know, those two are mutually inclusive), not to mention an angry hypocrite who didn’t practice what he preached. Something makes me think Hubbard never actually READ the holy scriptures. Just a guess.
How could any self-respecting Christians vote for Sarah Palin if she is getting political advice from a man who believe Jesus molested little boys, had sex with men and belongs to an organization which not only advocates abortion, but forces them on its most devout members? They’d have to be NUTS to follow that bizarre train of logic.
Besides the fact that other religions are CLEARLY not compatible with Scientology, there is that TINY little matter of Scientology’s extremely anti-family policy thing to deal with. If we know anything about Sarah Palin, its her dedication to the family unit. This is a woman who practices what she preaches when it comes to keeping families together regardless of difficulties or opposition to her own beliefs. Palin advocated abstinence-only programs for teens and her owned teenage daughter Bristol became an un-wed mother, but like her mother she chose life over abortion. Lucky thing Bristol wasn’t a member of Scientology’s most devout sect, the Sea Org.
Scientology’s Sea Organization does NOT welcome children into their unit and this is at the crux of their forced abortion policy. In theory, had the Palin’s been in the Sea Org and daughter Bristol chose to keep her baby, Sarah, Todd and the other Palin’s would have been forced to disconnect from her and her baby, like so many unfortunate Scientologist who become pregnant while serving in the SO. There are few “religious” organizations which are more anti-children and anti-family than Scientology.
The connection between Palin, Coale and Susteren just doesn’t make sense. Unless of course, Sarah and her family are clueless about the dangers of Scientology. Many people still are.
For those of us who are aware of Scientology’s real agenda, the appeal of Sarah Palin is obvious. Scientology seeks powerful people to help push their agenda, which already includes a tax exempt status far beyond what any other religious group gets. In many ways Sarah is a perfect Scientology candidate. Secluded from the mainstream media she so detests, Palin would be susceptible to the smarmy ass-kissing of the elite, which Scientology are so excellent at.
Plus, as a VIP, she would be kept far away from knowing the true evils of Scientology, like all other celebrities who are kept in a cocoon-like and pampered existence. She would splendor at the thought of rubbing elbows with the likes of Cruise and Travolta at the Celebrity Center. As twistedly humorous as it may be, I wouldn’t wish Scientology on anybody, not even Sarah Palin.
So the question is, will the Christian base which is essentially Sarah Palin’s base, discover the disturbing facts about Scientology before she gets too entrenched, or will this unholy alliance be allowed to continue?
For those who aren’t fans of Palin, perhaps they should be thanking Greta and John. Not for trying to get her inducted into the cult of Scientology, but for narrowing her chance of getting elected in 2012. Because those two factors are mutually inclusive as well, let’s face it, being association with Scientology has now become as detested as being associated with communism.
Sarah is of course hopeful for her presidential future and she is not wasting any time. She currently posted an ad on Youtube where you can donate directly to her campaign. Count me out on that contribution. I surely don’t want to be the one who initiated the first e-meter in the White House.
