In the early 1980’s I began to tape record and transcribe Robertson’s 700 Club because the topics discussed were decidedly political and involved grass-roots political recruitment for and against office holders. Robertson’s plans were breathtaking. He outlined a long-range program to gain nothing short of control of the government of the United States. The goal was to control the country by the year 2000.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had advance warning from OPEC of last month's failed coup attempt against him.
Mr Rodriguez told President Chavez that OPEC had learned that some Arab countries were agitating for a new oil embargo against the US. They were angry at the US stance following Israel's incursions into the Palestinian territories.
Rodriguez warned Chavez that if an oil embargo were to happen, the Bush administration would not tolerate Mr Chavez in control of Venezuela's oil production.
As the world's fourth largest oil exporter, Venezuela replaced Saudi Arabia as America's chief foreign source of oil during the last embargo in the 1970s.
Chavez said that he had tried to avert a coup by sending a note to President Bush, assuring him that Venezuela would never join any oil boycott.
But coup leader Pedro Carmona moved on 12 April, the day after a general strike began, and four days after Iraq banned oil exports.
