"Ramtha" And The Thurston County Commissioners

I was vaguely aware of J. Z. Knight, and knew that she had founded the very profitable Ramtha cult not far from here.

But I had not realized she was involved in politics.

Washington State Republicans called Yelm spiritual leader JZ Knight "an intolerant bigot" Tuesday, after video of her surfaced online making a variety of insensitive remarks about Catholics, Jews and homosexuals.

Knight, who claims she channels the 35,000-year-old Ramtha at her School of Enlightenment, has stepped into politics this campaign season after donating $50,000 to the Democratic party and $8,100 to other candidates.

Let's just say that "insensitive" doesn't quite capture how crude her rants are.   Before I give the link, I must warn you that the video is not fit for young children, or most work places.  So, with that warning, here it is.

If you look at the video, or just read the text accompanying the video, you will see that this is an attack on two Thurston County commissioners, Sandra Romero and Cathy Wolfe.

To be fair, I have to add that I have no knowledge about the truth of those charges, though I can say that I would not want to have Knight's support, if I were a public official.

And for those not familiar with Washington politics, I should say that our local political fights are rarely this strange or this exciting.

1. Is should not be a surprise to anyone, the demoncrats can't even mention God in their official platform. They hate god! When they were called on this at their own convention, they had to take three NO votes, and then never getting to a YES vote about including god in their platform, they looked at each other and ruled that the final No vote was really a Yes vote.

Amazing

2. She looks drunk. She's ranting like a drunken fool. I mean no insults to drunken fools.

3. With her hobby of multiple DUI's (She didn't get the nickname "Wrong Way" for nuthin'.) I'm surprised she could get elected dog catcher.

4. It doesn't matter if she's a bigot. She votes Democrat and that's all that matters. It excuses every possible nasty thing she says, b/c you are allowed to be disgusting as long as you vote democrat.
Are we clear on this?

5. House Republicans file complaint about 45th District Democrats hiding the source of multiple contributions to Democrat Roger Goodman's campaign. Apparently they are running scared about this race, considering we learned that Goodman was called "Out of the mainstream" for the district by the Seattle Times, presumably for his many pot group appearances and being far too beholden to the usual special interests in Olympia.

6. Speaking for, or "channeling", demonic spirits certainly renders Knight eminently qualified for inclusion into the (God hating) Dimocrat Party's "big tent".

7. Hmmmmm, as the 'church lady' would say, may be she's channeling Oh I don't know, could it be THE DEVIL!
I agree with the above about her likely being many 'sheets to the wind' in this rant.
Pretty superflous but INcredible and I have pity for anyone who would choose to 'follow her' and/or Ramtha. :)

8. Just another bigoted liberal progressive who showed transparency !

9. Knew a nutcase who lived outside Yelm for a while and was a member of the cult. Very sad, gullible disturbed people who are serial joiners in with an intense need to belong. Cults like Scientology and Ramtha prey on the weak. And they kind of remind me of Leftists/Progressives. Leftism is a cult of emotion and personality as well. Those who I know on the left are overly preoccupied with others, emotional causes, appearing to be part of the "in" political group of their peers, etc. And on the Left there is a deep seated need to be part of the collective for those on the Left. Be it a union, a member of Hope and Change with the bumper sticker prominently displayed, a green shopper with the "look at me" canvas tote bag, Prius driver with the politically correct car that cost a lot more than a ULEV and is no more efficient, etc.

If you are about individualism and freedom, chances are you don't need others to make yourself feel good, you are not in a cult and you don't vote Democrat.

10. The leftist progressive Democrats have now evolved into a large cult. Ramtha is the poster hag for Moonbat...

11. When she is getting here head clipped off by the "tolerant ones" then she'll know who the bigots are. Oh wait too late for freedom and liberty at that point.

12. This association with the cult/JZ will cause no harm to the candidate. Since it is a Dem candidate, this type of thing actually is a resume-enhancer. Tolerance of everything, except intolerance. What could possibly go wrong?

13. Well, well, well. FL voters--mostly republican---are receiving fraudulent letters mailed from Seattle with a clear intent to suppress their votes.

14. Ramtha couldn't be 35,ooo years old. The whole universe is only 6,000 years old.

16. She was definately "3 sheets to the wind" as they say. A bigoted, hate-filled, psychotic rant caught on video. Although I must say, the hosts on MSNBC are doing all of those things nightly on that cable channel.

18. She was channeling the conglomerate of MSNBC (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Mika Brezenski (sp ?)

19. @18:

The prospect of being forced to watch and listen to that bunch is scarier than anything JZ Knight could "channel".

Posted by: Saltherring on October 26, 2012 06:36 AM
20. @19 In addition, MSLSD (NBC) reaches a few more low information viewers than JZ does.

21. Where in the hell is Dorky Dorkman ? He has been MIA for since early October !

He must be organizing for post-election riots in Seattle or some other diseased urban center..

22. See? Just like I've said for years, and gotten thrown off the Olympian comments for, homosexuals who think the Democrats are "protecting" them are in for a rude awakening when they discover that, all the while, the Democrats consider them expendable.

Don't you wanna just flick ol' JZ's ear when she's in Ramtha mode?

Posted by: Joe Band Member on October 29, 2012 08:21 PM
23. Joanie is channeling JZ - she is an educator too, so parents beware. She shows up on this blog on occasion. It was recently found that JZ is endorsed by the Obama campaign and has been in communication with them.

I'd like to see that JZ gets a frontal lobotomy, but that is unlikely. It might do the hag some good though.

Posted by: KDS on October 30, 2012 11:50 AM
24. BHO is probably channeling the same demons as JZ and Joanie. They all seem to be on the same page.

25. Had an ex wife who got into this thing about Ramtha.True you have to be weak to accept such fraud.JZ is a scam artist of the highest order and should have been run out of town on a rail long ago.She wasnt nearly this violent when I last saw on of her tapes.That was in the 80s,needless to say,glad my ex is an ex.
