Oregon LE officer affiliated w/theocratic right runs for Portland, OR school board as a *Democrat*.

I'm so sick of the New Apostolic Reformation's "stealth candidate" game. I've been dealing with the NAR's deceptive electoral BS for a decade & a half...rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
...since John McCain picked Sarah Palin as is 2008 election vice presidential running mate. My groundbreaking reporting on Palin's extensive ties to the NAR was confirmed as accurate in 2011 by a top founding godfather of the NAR, C. Peter Wagner, in a 2011 NPR radio interview...
In 2010, I exposed James "Duke" Aiona, running as a #Republican for Hawai'i governor, as a "stealth" candidate for the New Apostolic Reformation. In 2011, I chronicled the array of NAR apostles & prophets who helped launch TX governor Rick Perry's failed presidential bid...
I didn't cover the NAR's backing of Donald Trump (I was aware), opting rather to write on Trump's ties to the racist right. But prior to the 2020 election, I fed to Rolling Stone video footage confirming Doug Mastriano (running to be PA's governor) was... 4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/tru…
..intimately involved in both the NAR and also it's efforts to help Donald Trump's failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021.rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
1 lesson I've learned in the years I've researched & written on the NAR is this - its apostles and prophets are consummate liars. The NAR is still very much a minority movement, which uses deceit as a strategy for achieving political power. Didn't Jesus say something about that?
Here's a screenshot (from the Internet Archive) of Derrick Peterson listed on the board of top NAR leader & apostle Che Ahn's antiabortion "1 Race 4 Life" nonprofit along with Ahn & other prominent NAR leaders such as Cindy Jacobs, Lance Wallnau, Jim Garlow, & others. Image
Of course, Derrick Peterson is denying it all. But highly incriminating evidence has already surfaced.

Paging Portland, Oregon...

Hey look guys, I know you're not big on theocrats. So DON'T VOTE FOR ONE! The evidence is undeniable. This guy was preaching at multiple theocratic churches back 2021.

North Carolina's Lt. Governor Mark Robinson reinvents Dave Chappelle's "Clayton Bigsby The World's Only Black White Supremacist" skit (but seriously...
Over a decade ago, I publicized video footage from a sermon in which a black New Apostolic Reformation apostle and preacher declared that she thanked god for slavery, because without slavery she would now be back in Africa "worshiping a tree".
The idea that enslaving Africans amounted to a "gift" that Christianity beneficently bestowed upon them is also promoted by the virulently racist Christian Reconstructionism movement.

Charlie Kirk's full of it. You can choose to believe me or not, but per my late friend George E. Lowe, the origin of Eisenhower's "Military Industrial Complex" remarks was VERY different Kirk's depiction. Lowe served in Naval Intelligence & claims... usni.org/people/george-…
..that during that time he served in a secret Naval Admiral "cabal" (as he called it) that fought the influence of the USAF's Curtis LeMay, b/c SAC had exclusive control of the "nuclear franchise". The Navy leaders regarded LeMay as a "Christian fascist" willing to commit...

"The Great Replacement" idea was a sub-component of William S. Lind's version of a conspiracy theory about "cultural Marxism" that in the 90s Lind & his colleague Paul Weyrich sold to both the racist right & the evangelical right.

It was a tour de force of cultural engineering.
This "cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory originated in the cult of Marxist turned Fascist Lyndon LaRouche. What Lind did was streamline it and market it as a narrative to draw together disparate elements of the US right, notable the racist right and the evangelical right.
According to Lind, the "political correctness" of the 1990s was Marxist ideology translated into cultural terms. "Political correctness" was, of course, roughly analogous to the much-maligned (from the right) "woke" of our current era. Per Lind, "PC" was the leading edge of...

This prophetic November 2022 article from Dave Troy has aged *extremely* well. Not only the mess of Twitter Blue, but BRICS is a growing challenge to US/European economic dominance. Another relevant data point (not directly covered by Troy) - Musk's in the deranged TESCREAL cult.
Here's a talk w/Timnit Gebru explaining what TESCREAL is & where it came from. As a collection of closely related ideologies, TESCREAL lends itself to fascism and traces *directly* back to the 20th Century Eugenics movement (that helped inspire the Nazis).
TESCREAL refers to the closely related ideologies of Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singulariansm, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism.

Timnit Gebru gets into TESCREAL about 1/2 way into the video.

3+ decades ago, a guy named David Barton wrote a book, almost unknown to secular America but wildly influential in the emerging leadership of the Christian right. The central premise was that a pair of Supreme Court decisions banning compulsory prayer in public schools...
...& banning compulsory bible study also, had sent god a clear message. In response, god withdrew his magical protective force field from over the nation, and as a consequence all sorts of bad things began to happen. SAT scores started to drop, teen pregnancy rose, divorce too...
Barton's book trundled out graph after graph showing these dismal trends, which generally were real. Now, some less subtle demagogues on the Christian right had wackier explanations which probably aided Barton. The Beatles had just hit America's shores. They, and other rock stars

Clearly, the 2nd Amendment was intended to allow citizens to own the finest advanced military technology of their day.

I, for one, am saving up to purchase a used A-10 "Warthog". A few ballistic missiles would be nice too. And maybe an Abrams M1 tank. Image
Seriously, though - immediately prior to the ratification of the US Constitution (1789) came Shay's Rebellion (1786-1787). Initially, the rebels attempted to storm the MA Springfield Armory, for weapons, but were repulsed. Had they been successful, would there be a United States?
Now, Shay's Rebellion was eventually put down with the MA militia & a privately financed militia. That would seem directly relevant to the 2nd Amendment (1791) b/c such a "well regulated militia" mentioned in the amendment had just put down a *major threat* to the new nation.
