SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Lurking behind the trainwreck that is Donald Trump is the even more chilling prospect of a Pence presidency. America is now staring down the barrel of a Christian theocracy if Trump is sent packing. #Impeached mintpressnews.com/evangelical-ag…
Far right-wing theocratic fascism has crept into the halls of the United States government and Trump's impeachment will be the ultimate coup for this sect of stringent conservatives.
latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
It will put Pence in control, ready to unleash a wave of restrictive domestic, social, and economic policies aligning w authoritarian evangelical Christian principles. #Surveillance #Torture #EnemiesOfTheState theintercept.com/2016/11/23/mik…
Consider his links to Erik Prince, founder of mercenary firm Blackwater — one of several disturbing affiliations between Pence and groups devoted to actively advancing the Christo-fascist agenda. theintercept.com/2016/11/15/mik…
Pence is generally regarded (in comparisons with Trump) as the lesser menace. There is a real danger in this of confusing less florid with less menacing. The quiet politician with a fondness for authoritarianism must not blithely be given a pass. newyorker.com/culture/jia-to…

🧵Activision Blizzard’s new video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has some seriously problematic aspects, not least the dehumanization of Arabs. It is set in Iraq, where players kill Iraqi combat forces and pursue Saddam Hussein. Previous Call of Duty games have glorified the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and Cuba’s Fidel Castro.

This targeting of America’s enemies is no coincidence. The game’s developer, Activision Blizzard, work closely with the US military and the US national security state to create the games. Furthermore, top Activision Blizzard executives are former CIA operatives.Image
