So Todd Palin got a new plane.

Click image to see pretty plane video on Willow's Instagram.

Now if you are like me you are probably wondering just how Todd could afford to buy a plane when we all know that SarahPAC dollars are drying up like Palin's nether regions and Sarah's ability to make money off of reality shows, speeches, and public appearances is all but disappearing?

Well an industrious member of our IM team did a little checking, and though the source for the money is not revealed the time of the sale and the former owner is.

As you can see the N-number on the tail is N305SP.

According to Flight Aware that plane is now registered to Iron Investments which has exactly two members:

Sarah and Todd Palin.

Now according to Flight Aware the previous owner was Samaritan's Purse, and we all know that it is a "charity" run by none other than Franklin Graham.

You know Graham, the guy who went with Palin to drop off cookies to the wrong Alaska village in response to pleas for assistance by natives in entirely different villages.

And as for Todd's old plane? Well he sold that to Matthew McKenna.

You remember McKenna don't you? He was the guy that kinda sorta backed up the Palin version of the Throwdown at the Hoedown.

Gee it all seems a little....incestuous doesn't it?

And why do I feel that there is much more going on here than meets the eye?

And speaking of meeting the eye does Palin even own a mirror these days?

Sarah Palin squeezes every little bit of attention out of her schmoozing with the Duck Dynasty clan, even manages to include Franklin Graham and Fox News.

Such a beautiful day in Port Alsworth, Alaska, as our family joined Rev. Franklin Graham & the Duck Commander crew to again welcome veterans and their spouses at an Operation Heal Our Patriot's retreat. This tremendous program for wounded warriors is run by Samaritan's Purse and works to help heal our returning heroes who have the same emotional and spiritual scars the rest of us have (You know after Franklin Graham skims a little from the top first.), but theirs are compounded by extreme circumstances in war zones, and they return with scars all to often overlooked. Thank you to all the dedicated OHOP volunteers committed to our returning heroes to heal marriages affected by these scars. (Not sure she is the best person be talking about "healing marriages.") Our prayers are with the couples we welcomed yesterday on a chilly end-of-summer evening that reminds us our Alaskan winter rolls in quickly and spectacularly. It was 27 degrees there this morning (She got this part right. Colder than hell this morning.), and bear viewing is great as the nearby animals fatten themselves up before hunkering down for the cold winter months. This Bristol Bay region is a most beautiful spot in the Last Frontier; it's the region where Todd was born and raised. We're blessed to have this chunk of God's country in our backyard. Glad the Duck Commander crew traveled North for these views, too! 

America, please join us in supporting and praying for all our vets and their families. If you love your freedom, thank a vet!

Nothing says "We're just small town living Americans like all of you" like hobnobbing with reality TV stars and having it covered by a host on a popular cable news channel.

And of course while she has this "star" power at her disposal, why not use them as a lure to get somebody to finally visit her stupid all about me vanity channel?

Seriously where is a hungry bear fattening up for winter when you need one?

Sarah Palin goes to Alabama. I think she was embarrassed that she was not the FIRST natural disaster to arrive there.

Is she clearing brush?

I thought she wanted to be Ronald Reagan, not George Bush.

If you want to help the people of Alabama, make damn sure to send your money to the Red Cross, or look for a suitable charity on this Facebook page, but do NOT give your money to Samaritan's Purse!

Even if knowing that Grandma Grifiter was involved with this agency were not enough to alert you to the likelihood that they are not reputable, then perhaps knowing that they have been investigated for using natural disasters as an excuse to proselytize and accused of attempting to convert desperate people at the very lowest point in their life to their fundamentalist brand of Christianity, might give you a hint as to their real agenda.

And if you DON'T think that Sarah Palin gets a little piece of the action, or some other compensation, for putting on her work gloves and running the risk of smudging her makeup, then you simply not know this greedy, self promoting hypocrite nearly as well as you think you do.

Sarah does Haiti part two: "There! Now I touched some brown people! Take that you haters who call me a racist!"

From the Samaritan's Purse website:



Okay that video literally made me sick to my stomach.  Using these suffering children as a back drop to push forward Franklin's version of Christan propaganda is horrific, and I don't think I have seen the Grizzled Mama look so uncomfortable since last week's "hunting" episode of SPA when her daddy kept handing her that loaded "killing stick" over and over again. ("Will it kick?")

Did Palin actually refer to Samaritan's Purse as an "efficient organization?"

From the Guardian:

Samaritan's Purse has been accused during other humanitarian crises of putting its evangelical mission ahead of more tangible assistance to those in need. The organisation raises large sums of money from US Christians but the proceeds are not always visible on the ground.

During the 1994 Rwandan refugee crisis, Samaritan's Purse was criticised by other aid organisations for spending large amounts on luxury accommodation for its staff and providing only minimal assistance as tens of thousands of people died of cholera. That assistance principally consisted of sending stretcher bearers to carry the sick for treatment as a third person ran alongside the victim reading passages from the Bible.

In 2001, Samaritan's Purse was scorned for requiring victims of El Salvador's earthquake to attend prayer meetings before they could receive aid.

Knowing Palin the way I do, I believe this is the ONLY kind of charity organization she would be connected to.  You know, one that hides their REAL agenda behind philanthropic activities.

There was another interesting observation made in this Guardian article concerning Samaritan's Purse as well:

It declined to reveal her itinerary and told reporters to leave its compound in Haiti before the former Alaska governor's arrival, saying it was under a "security lockdown".

Really?  A "security lockdown?"  The only threat to Palin posed by reporters is the threat that she will be revealed as a giant phony, or that somebody will photograph her daughter from an unflattering angle.  This idea that Sarah Palin is putting herself at risk is just to keep her minions in a lather as they constantly worry about her safety.

Update: I guess even Sarah could not keep ALL unflattering pictures from seeing the light of day.
