True.We have to call out how politics is bullshit theatrics with an agenda to begin with. Human greed seems to be the biggest threat to freedom rather than belief systems that people claim rather than live by
I can recall an episode of the 700 Club where they went DEEP into the jungles of Southeast Asia, like so deep the people didn't have shelter, they were living in the jungle under the foliage and eating bark and grass & etc..... this was due to their violent persecution for becoming Christian. So on the one hand, Pat Robertson & co. had no care for these people........ because if they did, they would have helped them integrate not only their faith, but their daily lives into the communities they had lived in all along. Instead, they used these people as a foothold in the area to "spread the gospel" through. However since they were hiding for their lives in the jungle their "theological outreach" efforts were obviously non-existent, so more than likely their real value to Robertson's "ministries" was to star in this (under five minutes mind you, still have commercial time to sell!) heart-wrenching propaganda piece designed to elicit donations from the faithful. Such an obvious, cunning and heartless charade. You want to know how I know its a charade? As I said, they made it obvious. When they finally found these peoples in the jungle, desperate and frantic, starving and on the edges of life and death, of sanity and madness...... what do you suppose they brought them? Was there food and water, the most basic elements of survival? How about adequate clothing? Perhaps the materials to build shelter? At least a communal shelter? At the very, very least they could have provided arms and ammunition as they were surely aware of the violence, being as they required their own armed escorts in and out of the jungle..... so what did they bring? Bibles. I will never forget the look of desperation on the faces of these people when the cameras first recorded them.... and I will never forget their wails as the begged for food and survival..... and to have the cold hearts of exploitation answer those calls of anguish with prayers and bibles.
After that section of the 700 Club concluded, they cut to Robertson...... on his multi-million dollar racehorse ranch where he called for more donations.....
