Meanwhile, according to Norwegian journalist Tore Gjerstad, "Fellowship" head Doug Coe, described by Hillary Clinton as "loving" and a "spiritual mentor" but whom Gjerstad pegged as a "Hitler-admirer", was on the move. Coe's first stop: a meeting with the King of Norway... http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c219/talk2action/HitlerAdmirerstory.gif Earlier this week, the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, which has a circulation of roughly 140,000, ran a story, entitled (translated from the original Norwegian) "Hitler-admirer Received by King.", about "Family" head Doug Coe's visit to Norway, where Coe met with the Norwegian King. In the Dagbladet story, journalist Tore Gjerstad quoted Coe, from recordings of Coe's sermons, lauding the commitment of young Chinese Red Guard men, who decapitated their parents, and enthusing over the organizational methods and organizing prowess of Hitler, Lenin and Mao. Hillary Clinton, who denies having any links to Coe and his group, nonetheless has written of the "Fellowship" head as "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." By far the biggest break for this slowly emerging story on The Family/The Fellowship, almost certainly one of the most influential secret political networks on Earth, was in ABC's [sic - NBC's] April 3, 2008 exclusive, Political ties to a secretive religious group. The NBC story featured a video in which "Fellowship" (or "Family") head Doug Coe celebrated the political conviction of Chinese communists willing to lop off their own parent's heads [with with axes, guillotines were probably not readily available] for the good of the state, but the ensuing minor hubbub didn't quite convince the rest of mainstream media that the story trumped the hullabullulaballoo over sermons given by Barack Obama's ex-pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Although, as detailed by NBC, there exist numerous ties between leading US politicians and Doug Coe, leader of the secretive, global fundamentalist religious group "The Fellowship", who celebrates parental decapitation and waxes enthusiastic over the power inherent in the bond and covenant shared among Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler. NBC's story had the making of a great scandal but some essential plot elements and body parts were missing from the formula. It lacked celebrity draw, sure, but most importantly there were no obvious elements of sexual scandal. Dismembered heads are OK for shock value but there were no breasts, no starlets, no infidelity, nothing that would tend to rate a mention on Oprah, just the drab and pedestrian quality that seems to accompany the Fellowship's furtive and almost unimaginable global influence - as compared to Sun Myung Moon and his florid rants against "free sex" and bizarre explanations on the divinely ordained "concave" and "convex" nature of human sexual organs, Doug Coe might as well be a bank teller, a mailman or a grocery clerk. And, he prefers it that way. Coe is, as described in a Time story which crowned him "The Stealth Persuader" and one of America's 25 most influential evangelical leaders, the man in the dimly lit, smoky back room, brokering deals: you can't quite see his face. And, "The Fellowship" is one of the least libidinous organizations imaginable except to the extent that, as noted by Henry Kissinger during his "playboy" period as Richard Nixon's National Security Adviser, power is the "ultimate aphrodesiac". The story lacked obvious sexual protrusions and thus got little media oxygen and was quickly overwhelmed by the daily press of events such as Brittney Spears' minor fender-bender. The Family/Fellowship story has simmered down since NBC's April 3rd story but perhaps Dagbladet's coverage, migrating back over the Atlantic, will rekindle interest in a group lying, as Sharlet puts it, "at the heart of American power." . As Sharlet and Joyce put it, in "Hillary's Prayer", Besides the presidents and first ladies--Bill and Hillary Clinton attended in 1997--the one constant presence at the National Prayer Breakfast has been Douglas Coe. Although he's not an ordained minister, the 79-year-old Coe is the most important religious leader you've never seen or heard. Of course, Senator Hillary Clinton is not responsible for every word to issue from the mouth of "Family" head Doug Coe. Nor should she be. But there are deeper issues involved here, and given that Clinton joined a an elite prayer cell of "The Family" back in early 1990's it would seem appropriate for Clinton to address her current relationship with the group. According to a September 1, 2007 Mother Jones story, Hillary's Prayer: Hillary Clinton's Religion and Politics, by Jeff Sharlet and Kathryn Joyce, Senator Hillary Clinton's maintains a current relationship to "The Fellowship"/"Family" and there seem to exist also ideological and theological resonances between Clinton's views and views espoused by "The Fellowship". Such resonances might be evidenced, for example, in Hillary Clinton's early support for "Charitable Choice" provisions [described as "radical" by Fellowship member David Kuo who helped draft the provisions while working with then Senator John Ashcroft, another Fellowship member] inserted by John Ashcroft in the 1996 'Welfare Reform' bill that was then signed into law by Bill Clinton. Clinton's motivations for supporting those "charitable coice" provisions might not have been exactly the same as those of Kuo and Ashcroft but Clinton's support did not seem antagonistic to one of the long range goals of The Family: unmaking the government social programs of Roosevelt's New Deal. Why was Doug Coe meeting with the King of Norway ? Coe's access to European royalty supports the claims of David Kuo, former second in command at the White House Office of Faith Based Initiatives, that the fundamentalist, sex-segregated group "The Family", which organizes in "prayer cells" in a structure favored by communist revolutionary groups, wields, at the international level, almost inconceivable influence and that influence is not always benign. As journalist Jeff Sharlet, author of an upcoming book, "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power"" due to be released May 20th wrote in his landmark 2003 expose' "Jesus Plus Nothing: Undercover Among America's Secret Theocrats", Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 1.
