'The Fellowship' aka 'The Family' secretive DC prayer group

[DJGimpmeister]

i think i have digged into the fucked up part of youtube long enough now

[cboneofenglewood]

So, our "nations leaders" are part of a nationwide cult? Does this surprise anyone? Look at their work.

[Teflon65]

What's this? A so-called Christian Bilderberg Group?

[rocsvt1]

MOST OF THEM ARE FROM THE GROUP OF BILDERBERG AND ARE IN WAR WITH THE FAMILIA CHRISTIAN MAFIA.....WATCH THE OBAMA DECEPTION!!!!!

[HostileNegotiator]

Christian mafia? This is the group planning the end of days AKA WWIII. Good work around the world funding terrorism, implanting fascist regimes, and building regional tension just ripe for war. These people are worse than the Italian mafia!

[cpmondello]

I suggest you ALL watch the following DVDs & Videos:

'Constantines Sword'

'Theologians Under Hitler'

'The God Who Wasn't There'

'Imagine If All Atheists Left America' (youtube.com/watch?v=mbef07aQt­B8)

[Atheistx82]

These guys are connected to the Quiverful movement and have a directed agenda to take over the United States and turn it into a theocracy via democracy. Quiverful Christians have as many children as possible, some of the breeders are clueless to the fact that their movement is a guided effort. This man is one of the most dangerous people to our democracy.

[Atheistx82]

That is, to our democratic republic.

[hieronomy]

America is alive and well just look at all these ass kickers for justice . Stand up and bust these hypocritical motherfuckers right in the chops !!

[chapsroc]

1:56-2:24

Douglas Coe Knows his Bible, and Mao Ze Dong and his Red Guards would make excellent Christians...

(Luke 14)

25 Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He (Jesus) turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. 27 "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

[thirdworldassassin]

the fellowship of the ring of saturn !!!

[MeritisDE]

Douglas Coe wanted to have the power that Hilter and the fascist movement had during it's heyday.

Douglas Coe and The "fellowship" is one of the greatest threat to this nation from within.

[atomic57]

This C Street organization that claims to be about Christianity. Sounds more like a Satanic Cult if you ask me. What's the secrecy about? The only reason anyone would try to keep it secret is because it's a front operation for something else. None of these vermin actually believe in Christianity. Nobody actually believes any of that boring myth about god but they pretend to believe so they can belong to something. The C STREET characters are all adrenaline and power junkies. There is no god.

[onthebus17]

Every President since Eisenhower has attended that damn National Prayer Breakfast. What democracy?

[DJWWMU]

When Coe was talking about the power of Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbles, he was so enthralled he could barely finish his sentence, "metaphor" my ass, that is one power hungry bastard

[MrOldSlacker]

It's just as I have learned over the years: Evangelical Christianity does nothing but use Jesus as a front so that they can gain political power in their quest to turn this country into a fascist nightmare.

Hitler, Stalin and Mao are role models for these people....not Jesus.

[tymjar]

They are super secretive and have, for decades, been gathering up MUCH more power than you would think it possible for them to have acquired. They are believers in Leo Strauss' idea of feeding all of us the "noble lie", in order that might 'save us from ourselves' = ultimately, they do NOT believe in a democratic system of government = they are very patient/methodical, AUTHORITARIANS!

[Arcane1Soldier]

Do you think that the Rotchschilds, Rockefellers, etc are below this group?

[distressed7]

This whole phoney group will bend morals,for the "Jesus" they worship. They will kill for their agendas, and believe me, he may call it metaphor, but just as criminals dedicated to getting money will take off their own mother to keep the habit going, so will Coe find a rationale to do the unthinkable to keep his game alive. He will sit with blood drinking dictators to "work with power" & ask no questions.Yet, these same asswipes and their ilk demand repentance and honesty from the little guy.

[distressed7]

All these "great christians" going to their big money spas to play "important" games. The Cedars. The Bohemian Grove. Haha! idiots all of them. I am just as dedicated. Every bit so. To kick their ass.

[msteras]

u gotta pray for the poor before you whack em off and steal their resources...duh.

[SkepticalIdealist]

I read an article about this corporate cult about a year ago. It's frightening.

Thank you NBC and Rachel Maddow for this story. I hope everyone, including Christians, watches this story and reads the book. Free market McChristianity is about money and power not Jesus Christ.

The Christian Right is a proto-fascist movement. It is not Christian or moral. It is evil.

[theeyeisblind]

haha free market mcchristianity.

[howdoiquityou2006]

you have too hate your mother and father and brother and sister over the lord according too doug coe thats crap we are in big trouble if this loser is running our country "shine the light on those rats" i ask another question do clintons hate there daughter ???? thats unlikely..

[sgillespie1978]

Andrea Mitchell is a great reporter. It troubles me however that she is married to Alan Greenspan, former FED chairman, who is a member of the Bohemian Grove. ???

[alpha56667]

well everyone at the FED bangs there sisters, blow there brothers and FUCK THE PEOPLE lol...there all jerk offs

[Spiritflier07]

Wonder how come this coerage didn't point out his groups extreme influence in the tearing down of democracies all over the world and installing of tyrant governments.

[RubyStCatherine]

This is who picked Palin....and who McCain bartered for full base support in exchange for a VP he didn't know.

[clockmouse]

is sarah palin doug coe's rising star?

[abram730]

Good works around the world????

Like there support of Indonesian dictator Suharto after hearing he had killed 100,000 of his own citizens they knew he was "their kind of guy". They funneled money and weapons to him boosting the death toll to over one million.

Some good works NBC!! What a white wash.

[abram730]

David explained that when Genghis Khan entered a defeated city he would call in the local headman and have him stuffed into a crate. Over the crate would be spread a tablecloth, and on the tablecloth would be spread a wonderful meal. "And then, while the man suffocated, Genghis ate, and he didn't even hear the man's screams."

"Do you know what that means?" He was thinking of Christ's parable of the wineskins. "You can't pour new into old,"

[abram730]

"Isn't that great?" David said. "That's the way everything in life happens. If you're a person known to be around Jesus, you can go and do anything. And that's who you guys are. When you leave here, you're not only going to know the value of Jesus, you're going to know the people who rule the world. It's about vision.

[abram730]

It's not a metaphor!!

David Coe said, "let's talk about the Old Testament. Who would you say are its good guys?"

"King David," David Coe went on, "liked to do really, really bad things." He chuckled. "Here's this guy who slept with another man's wife—Bathsheba, right?—and then basically murders her husband. And this guy is one of our heroes."

[formless777]

So we hear about a fascist conspiracy taking over in Washington, people say it's the Illuminati. Yet here we have a group of people doing Satan's work in Jesus' name, supporting the rich against the poor, recruiting dictators and ex-Nazis, and doing it in secrecy, citing Hitler, Stalin and Mao like a holy trinity. Smoking gun much ?

[barbsnow37]

there is more here than meets the eye..I do have a problem with the secrecy issue and what that entails..The Bush administration had their code of secrecy which has put a stranglehold on getting the news out to the people and stonewalling prevails. I hope that more comes out when the book is released.

[barbsnow37]

My problem is with the secrecy issue..there is more here than meets the eye..I do hope that it is revealed in the book that is due to come out soon.

[Spiritflier07]

The book THE FAMILY by Jeff Sharlet shows how completely evil this group is.

[howdoiquityou2006]

yes and my mother was like oMg this has got too stop now !!!!!!

[stillcool47]

The Fellowship's God-led men have included General Suharto of Indonesia; Honduran general and death squad organizer Gustavo Alvarez Martinez; a Deutsche Bank official disgraced by financial ties to Hitler; and dictator Siad Barre of Somalia, plus a list of other generals and dictators. Clinton has become a regular visitor to Coe's Arlington, Virginia, headquarters. Hillary joined the group in 1993. Obama attended a breakfast.

[shockingtruths]

Clinton has championed federal funding of

faith-based social services, which she embraced years before George W. Bush did; Marci Hamilton, author of God vs. the Gavel, says that the Clintons' approach to faith-based initiatives "set the stage for Bush." Clinton has also long supported the Defense of Marriage Act, a measure that has become a purity test for any candidate wishing to avoid war with the Christian right.

[hraka1962]

To go off on another subject, H Clinton's support of DOMA seems more cowardly or gutless. She defends DOMA as a way of protecting us from the FMA. She's leaving individual freedom up to the states, even saying, "One of the strongest arguments we had against the constitutional amendment... was DOMA—that [the FMA] was not necessary; marriage has always been the province of states."

[shockingtruths]

The Fellowship's long-term goal is "a leadership led by God—leaders of all levels of society who direct projects as they are led by the spirit." According to the Fellowship's archives, the spirit has in the past led its members in Congress to increase U.S. support for the Duvalier regime in Haiti and the Park dictatorship in South Korea.

They use God to justify their profiteering, exploiting labor, as they exchange arms and oil with our tax dollars.

We can only imagine how god see it.

[kv012345]

I attended the most recent National Prayer Breakfast, and was inspired by the diversity of people brought together in the name of Jesus. Democrats and Republicans, Catholics and Protestants, Muslims and Christians- the last event closed with a filmed interview of Benazir Bhutto, describing the positive influence of the breakfast movement, and yes, she had a good opinion of Doug Coe.

[madashelldude]

I think DC politicians attending "prayer breakfast" is against the separation of church and state. I don't care if you attend the same church as another politician in your district. I have a problem with religious events devoted to politicians. This is so corrupt and evil it's against everything the founders stood for: a religious figure in awe of the power Hitler and Mao held, very disturbing.

[kv012345]

Even Jeff Sharlet states that it is the "leadership techniques" which he questioned, though he certainly implies more. Do these rhetorical devices used as "leadership techniques" imply any greater connection? No. Does Senator Clinton have any need to distance herself from a former "genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide"? Again, the answer is no. (cont. next post)

[kv012345]

Standard contemporary journalism, designed to excite attention. As always, one must distinguish the facts from the dramatic effect. What is the full extent of the connection between Mr. Coe and Hitler? As Mr. Kuo said, "he's using Hitler as a metaphor... for commitment." According to the news reporter, Coe has "a rhetorical technique that draws immense criticism," "A close friend said he invokes Hitler to show the power of small groups for good and bad." (cont. next post)

[MikeRenzulli]

Doug Coe is saying the things that other religious leaders won't discuss or talk about. How religion, communism and fascism are all interlinked with their putting the primacy of self-sacrifice (i.e. altruism) above individual rights. Ayn Rand (who was an athiest like me) pointed this out and this news report is a testament to her wisdom and, hopefully, will pull the wool over the eyes of the faithful.

[hraka1962]

Not sure I understand your point. Pulling the wool over someone's eyes means to fool them. Is that what you meant to say?

[MikeRenzulli]

No I meant to say remove the wool from people's eyes. Thanks for clarifying!
