Private security chief defends John Hagee, Hits Hard on Soros Agenda

BY LAURA COHEN, Editor

VIRGINIA -- A 'Messianic Jew' who runs a private intelligence agency defended John Hagee late last night, in an interview with CAPITOL HILL NEWS.

W. Edward Griffith, who has gone on the offensive against 'the liberal media establishment' and bloggers like Richard Bartholomew, said the recent attacks on Hagee "reflect the agenda I recently outlined in a televised address".

Griffith, 44, said 'faith and security" go together, and added that the two go hand-in-hand when raising a family.

According to Bartholomew: 2006: At USA Today, Mark I Pinsky explains how John Hagee is a central figure in a new alliance between "Southern Jews and Evangelicals":

...[I]n November 2005, more than 1,000 evangelicals from central Florida gathered at a local hotel and raised more than $100,000 to buy an ambulance for Magen David Adom, Israel's Red Cross. Local rabbis delivered both the invocation and the benediction. As event sponsors promised, there was no effort to proselytize any of the estimated 200 Jewish guests. The Rev. John Hagee of San Antonio gave a thunderous keynote address supporting the Jewish state that he could easily have delivered at a rally for Israel's hard-line Likud Party.

2011: At USA Today, Mark I Pinsky explains how John Hagee is an absolutely marginal figure in Evangelicalism, a bogeyman puffed up by liberal websites but in truth so irrelevant that we don't even have to spell his name correctly:

These days, it's hard to turn to liberal websites, public radio or MSNBC without encountering some "investigation" or "expos" of a splinter, marginal figure, such as David Barton or John Haggee, from the evangelical world - followed by some tenuous if not tortured connect-the-dots link to a presidential or congressional candidate.

As readers may recall, Hagee's link to John McCain in 2008 was so "tenuous" that McCain was obliged to issue a repudiation of Hagee's endorsement after a sermon came to light in which Hagee referred to Hitler as a "hunter" sent by God to persuade Jews to move to Israel. That sermon was unearthed not by a professional religion writer such as Pinsky, but by an independent amateur researcher named Bruce Wilson."...

Bartholomew went on to attack Glenn Beck and David Barton.

Says Griffith: "What we have here is an agenda. Mr. Bartholomew believes in nothing but tearing people down who have faith and core values. This comes from a blogger in the United Kingdom, who clearly has no interest in keeping the United States safe and secure'.

Griffith has addressed Bartholomew, linking him to the agenda of George Soros. A rebroadcast of Griffith's public address can be heard here.
