Benny Hinn: Healer or Hypnotist?
Joe Nickel

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benny Hinn tours the world with his "Miracle Crusade," drawing thousands to each service, with many hoping for a healing of body, mind, or spirit. A significant number seem rewarded and are brought onstage to pour out tearful testimonials. Then, seemingly by the Holy Spirit, they are knocked down at a mere touch or gesture from the charismatic evangelist. Although I had seen clips of Hinn's services on television, I decided to attend and witness his performance live when his crusade came to Buffalo, New York, last June 28-29. Donning a suitable garb and sporting a cane (left over from a 1997 accident in Spain), I limped into my seat at the HSBC Arena, downtown.

It's very interesting to observe how Benny's vast televised audience (I don't know how many, a few thousands, I guess) seem to be virtually 100% "true believers;" yet how the vast majority of people, not in (nor inclined to be in) his audience, correctly and immediately see him as a fraud.
Surely there are some parallels there with Whites who hold our racialist position; but the proportions of those who basically see the truth in this case are reversed. I can think of no other reason how this could be so, besides the obvious one that the propaganda promoting the lie is in our case (of "democracy" and "equality") much more relentless and pervasive than Benny Hinn's.

Personally, I believe all those "miracle" healing televangelists are nothing but bullshitters who stage their "miracles". You know when they invite a group of people in wheelchairs and stuff on the stage and then magically heal them all and those cripples start walking. I think it's staged and to some degree, a huge element of fanaticism and screaming and emotions.
