The posted article is nearly a complete farce. By misquotes and innuendo, somehow a case is made that Panarin is a tea party hero?
First as stated in this story, WND's Joseph Farah, the founder of website WorldNetDaily, wrote in December that he wasn't "buying into Panarin's entire prediction" but that "there's something to it". More than half of the nearly 3,000 WND readers responded to a poll agree that "the US is on course to break up soon, another 18% said they thought the US wouldn't break up, but would 'continue to lose sovereignty to the UN and other global entities.'
Hardly equates to "hero worship".
As for Chuck Baldwin, the story quotes:
Since the Drudge Report first highlighted his theories last November, several conservative websites and blogs have featured him. In September, Chuck Baldwin, a perennial far-right presidential candidate on the Constitution Party ticket, observed that Panarin's predictions of "some sort of break up of the United States in the near future" was a "very realistic probability."
Following the link, there is no such quote!
Researching on my own, a proper quote of Baldwin in context shows he did NOT think Pandarin's prediction of a breakup in 2010 to be likely.
Will the Russian analyst's prophecies come true in 2010? Probably not. Does that mean that America is impervious to some sort of national demise? Not at all. Is America already in serious trouble? You bet. Could there be some sort of break-up within the United States in the near future? In my opinion, that is a very realistic probability. If this happens, will freedom suffer? Almost certainly. Will those with tyrannical tendencies use the opportunity of any national disaster to try and enslave us? They already do. I personally do not believe that there is any "If" to the question. The only questions are, "When?" and "To what degree?" And, of course, there is another question: "When the break-up comes, how many Americans understand the principles of liberty enough, and are personally prepared enough, and are willing enough to resist whatever power it may be that seeks to place us under the thumb of oppression and fight for the same protections and vanguards of liberty that first established this land?" Obviously, the answer to that question is yet to be determined.
Next there is the Tea Party event: Panarin's hosts, according to a flier promoting the event, want to "make sure" Panarin's scenario "never happens." In a blog post promoting the event, these tea party activists noted that Panarin's prediction has been dismissed as a "radical impossibility. But is it?"
The event was "to make sure it never happens". Hmm, sounds like cult worship to me!
Then, the story moves to speaking engagements in DC. The story quotes: One of them, Bob Hoy, a tea party organizer from Northern Virginia, echoed Panarin's prediction of racial strife, but differed with the Russian on the timeline for America's impending disintegration. He thought it would be a matter of decades, not months. Hoy said that by 2065, "100 years after Ted Kennedy changed the immigration laws,"
More obvious cult worship!
Lastly, he puts the crowd on the spot. Point blank do you believe in my theory? 10 out of 50 raised their hand.
Devil worshipers!
So after an obvious attempt to smear, the point falls flat. The majority does not believe in Pandarin's break-up into six parts theory. Speaking of a potential breakup in general, under whatever circumstances economic or social is a possibility irrespective of some six-way split theory and short time frame. So the headline is completely bogus. There is no hero worship going on. The Mother Hubbard cult worship can continue, but in doing so, you're only deluding yourselves.
