Let’s remember JZ Knight, channeler of Ramtha, born on this day in 1946(March 16)
The Northwest has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to interesting characters. And then there’s Judy Zebra Knight, a Yelm resident who is charitably called a New Age teacher and author. Knight claims that she channels a 35,000 spiritual entity called Ramtha. It’s made her a fortune through books, videos, and the for-profit Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment.
Ramtha speaks through Knight, and Ramtha is something of a homophobe, racist, and anti-Semite, despite having the nickname “The Enlightened One.” In 2012, Knight was rebuffed by the Washington State Democratic Party, who first accepted $70K in donations, before handing the money off to charities when the videos of Ramtha’s bigotry emerged. Some of that is a little unfair because mic.com wasn’t even around 35,000 years ago.
Nevertheless, Ramtha is now firmly on the Trump Train. According to the Seattle Times:
On Monday, Knight posted video excerpts of a Dec. 8 “prophetic vision” in which she declared in her Ramtha voice: “The greatest misjudgment of character came when you thought a woman should win this race.”
In the Breitbart-worthy spiel, Ramtha/Knight, smoking a tobacco pipe, goes on to attack the Clinton Foundation and says the FBI was behind the leaking of Democratic Party documents to WikiLeaks. “It was never Russia,” she says.
Ramtha cheers the new president: “That man is trumping deceit. He doesn’t smoke, he doesn’t do drugs, he does business!”
As a kicker, Ramtha predicts Trump will receive the protection of UFOs while flying in his jet: “And the first time he looks out the window … when he sees two silver disks as escort, he is going to know it all — and this is a man who is not afraid — he is going to know it all.”
Mike Wright, a Knight spokesman, said in an emailed statement that Knight continues to support Democratic candidates and causes in local and state elections.
“She did not vote for candidate Trump but she sees what Ramtha describes as ‘purposeful good’ in his election,” the statement said. “Ramtha’s prophecies teaching from December 2016 provides a dynamic perspective of these dynamic times.”
Ramtha is likely the oldest Trump supporter out there. I mean, he beats Lou Dobbs by 34,927 years.
