1 of 43) To evangelical followers, take WARNING of an unrolling active measures effort directed at American Christians with a sense of national pride: you’re targeted for a dislocating attack. To my non-evangelical friends, do not be fooled. This should not happen in America.

2) “Divide and conquer.” These are the days when Niemöller’s words are to be taken to heart, modified for today, “. . . then they came for the Evangelicals, and I was not an Evangelical, and I did not speak out. Now they came for me, and there was no-one left to speak for me.”

3) Indeed, these are the days of discernment. From Jeremiah 23:1-2: “’Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!’ says the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: . . .

4) “. . . ‘You have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the LORD’.”

5) And from Matthew 7:15-16: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?”

6) Listen to both. From a political warfare POV, when an org or individual broadcast’s a narrative that get’s recognizable “play back” that synchronizes with that communication (w an air of submission):

7) The question must be raised as to whether a handshake took place indicating coordination along an understood line of operation (LOO) in a common active measures campaign – esp if rebroadcast:

8) From the “Explanatory Memorandum,” a strategy document that proved dispositive in the Holyland Foundation case, it is important to understand the relationship of the IM to the MB, domestically and internationally:

9) While the IM is among the drivers of the “Christian Nationalism” campaign, it will execute through along well-travelled interfaith LOEs relying on interfaith Christian pastors at the launch. IM fingerprints will be minimized.

10) Of course, whether known or not by those babbling it, the “Building Bridges” narrative, especially as used in the interfaith domain, signals that Sayyid Qutb’s dictum is in effect as part of the MBs outreach:

11) And when “Building Bridges” is included in IM narratives, it means the group participating in it is either the object or agent of negation of the org targeted.

12) And make no mistake, the “Building Bridges” LOE is a part of the IM’s (from OIC to domestic MB) Islamophobia effort to subordinate free speech to Islamic law:

13) Rev. Roberts appears at 47th annual ICNA-MAS May 2022 conv. in Baltimore, MD to reinforces narrative that “Islamophobia is real…it’s coming from my tribe.” (cue 58 s) & promotes Imam Mohamed Magid, ADAMS Ctr. (cue 2 min. 44 s)

14) Rev. Roberts lauds the IM, MB Zakat, Shariah compliant ICNA Relief & Helping Hand for Relief and Development orgs. (cue 8 min. 49 s) and reinforces the IM’s “Building Bridges” LOE that targets Christians (cue 11 min. 4 s)

15) And by Islamic law, we mean Sharia as defined by the Saudis and the MB –

16) MWL SecGen “Islamophob is the strongest mess of extremism that it threatens to mobilize the Islamic feeling agnst the other, indicating that when the logic of awareness is absent in the reading of events, we will be in front of a civilized clash.” spa.gov.sa/1602431

17) To be clear, from the MWL Journal, Vol 50, Iss 9: “Finally, Islamophobia must be stigmatized, as racism is. Non-Muslims must stand up with their Muslim neighbors and reject those who would dehumanize Muslims example and fail to see the dignity and worth of every individual.”

18) The objs are the disenfranchisement of normal patriotic Christians from their own institutions by tying them to contrived choreographed narratives associating them with 6 Jan 2021 while converting a powerful pro-Israel block from being Pro-Israel to anti-Semitic & hostile.

19) And this –

20) And this –

21) Is it really that hard to position Rev. Roberts in this campaign? And this –

22) Doesn’t “Interfaith Rev.” Chris Seiple have his own interfaith MB/Vietnamese Comms connection & weren’t they active when assisting Trump in his 2016/7 transition?

23) And, as has been recognized since Carlos the Jackal’s famous quote, at the international level, the IM interoperates with global left so that seemingly disparate activities strike the target as if coordinated – Internationally:

24) And domestically –

25) While the Interfaith movement was ordered stood up by the Comintern in the 30’s, with America’s Antifa run by Methodist Minister Rev Ward, it tends to execute through the GOPe –

26) And the GOPe has proven to be fertile territory for interfaith penetration –

27) And this –

28) And this -

29) And this –

30) At some point, the question must be asked, is the GOPe in on this campaign?

31) Those leading to campaign can be reasonably assured that trusted Christian media has been co-opted. How is it that al-Issa, the Saudi head of the MWL, is on the board of a targeted Christian media outlet?

32) And a very cordial relationship -

33) Deep penetration? AllArabNews is the Evangelical window into the Arab world run by established conservative Evangelical voices. When the accusations begin, where will AAN turn when followers turn to them?

34) The “Christian Nationalism” serves as the coordination document - advanced by Rev Roberts alongside the Islamic Movement, M Brotherhood & the GOPe: bjconline.org/wp-content/upl…

35) This united front op shows signs of tiered intense coordination from international, to national, to local, w red flags going back to 2015:

36) Imam Mohamed Hag Magid, former head of ISNA, a leading Muslim Brotherhood organization as identified in the Holy Land Foundation case. U.S. President Joe Biden appointed Magid as a Commissioner to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom on 1 July 2022.

37) Magid is also the Co-Founder of the Multi-faith Neighbors Network along with Pastor Bob Roberts, Jr, which focuses on “BUILDING BRIDGES” between Muslim, Evangelical Christian, and Jewish communities.”

38) The Comintern ordered the formation of the interfaith movement in the ‘30s. To this day, the largest interfaith organization is the IAF, which was founded by Saul Alinsky in ’40. (IAF link)

39) The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations Sec Gen Oussama Jammal is actively engaged in interfaith lines of effort coordinated through the Industrial Areas Foundation, National Council of Churches, Religions for Peace USA, and World Council of Churches.

40) Pastor Bob Roberts, Jr. introduction to interfaith by the IM, MB in 2006 at the Muslim World Forum in Qatar:

41) When this active-measures campaign escalates, there will be supporting action/reaction activities to steer disoriented Christians into unsavory reactive responses. Hence, no matter how real and personal these attacks may be.

42) Beware of overly supportive ministries that overleverage terms like “patriotic” or “Holy Spirit” – especially if the way they communicate aligns with the attack narratives directed at you.

43 of 43) As a primary objective is to convert Evangelicals to an anti-Israel posture, Do NOT get baited into making anti-Semitic comments or comments that can be used to string an attack against you.
