I watch the 700 club everyday. I watch for the testimonies of God at work in people's lives. I do not support nor do I put much stock in what Pat Robertson has to say.

But, I did see this segment, and indeed Robertson was calling for prayer and help for Haiti. He had a long segment with his head of “operation blessing” in Haiti. The man explained what the ministry was doing, and will do for the people of Haiti in the coming days. They have already given many supplies, and medical help, with more on the way.

Robertson only pointed out the history of Haiti. There is a statue commemorating the sacrifice of the black pig to satan. It isn't superstitious slander. It is a fact. Robertson did not conclude anything from the comment. But one can not help but conclude that the blood of pigs hasn't helped the nation of Haiti, and perhaps they should look to the blood of Christ to cleanse them and save them from the horrors of violence and poverty.

By the way, Robertson knows a great deal about pacts with the devil, as he himself has was a business partner with Charles Taylor, the murderous dictator in Liberia.

According to a 2 June 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot, Taylor had extensive business dealings with American televangelist Pat Robertson. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson (who also had business dealings with dictator Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire) the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia's mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the Commonwealth of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda. The subsequent investigation by the Commonwealth of Virginia concluded that Robertson diverted his ministry's donations to the Liberian diamond-mining operation, but Attorney General of Virginia Mark Earley blocked any potential prosecution against Robertson, as the relief supplies were also sent.
