Former member of AIP, Sarah Palin, addresses Alaskan Independent Party convention.
Watch this other clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NK2sFJebGc
of Dexter Clark, vice chairman of the Alaska Independence party confirming that Sarah Palin was once a member of the AIP. The clips are long, you can skip to 6:00 in to hear the reference to Palin.


"Our current governor, we mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected. There's a joke, she's a pretty good looking gal, there's a joke goes around we're the coldest state with the hottest governor. And there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as a mayor of a small town -- that was a non-partisan job. But you get along to go along -- she eventually joined the Republican Party, where she had all kinds of problems with their ethics, and well, I won't go into that. She also had about an 80% approval rating, and is pretty well sympathetic to her former membership."

Clark goes on to talk about the need for AIP members to "infiltrate the major political parties".

Very important to watch these clips also to get the full context.

Since discovering this story on August 31st, it has been picked up by the mainstream media to some extent. I found these clips on youtube on Aug 31st and put two and two together.

Thanks to the original poster of the clips who apparently was unaware of the enormity of this story. (less info)
