Moms for Liberty seems to align w/ dominionists, who believe that if Christians can take dominion (control) of Pennsylvania, the entire nation will follow. Philadelphia is the largest city in PA, so that’s where they want to go. 1/
David Barton (Wallbuilders) is affiliated w/ the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a dominionist network. He & his son collaborate w/ Moms 4 Liberty, as @KiraResistance & I have shown. Here’s a screenshot from an event he held w/ NAR leader Cindy Jacobs. 2/ generals.org/blog/conferenc… Image
This article explains how Pennsylvania is the NAR’s top target. PA is so important to the NAR that NAR leader Cindy Jacobs assigned a representative (NAR leader Abby Abildness) to oversee/create an infrastructure to take dominion of the entire state. 2/ salon.com/2023/06/17/unf…
Abildness leads, for example, the “Pennsylvania Apostolic Prayer Network (PAPN) in partnership w/the ministries of NAR leaders Cindy Jacobs & John Benefiel. 3/ archive.ph/2023.06.03-174…
4/ Screenshot from PAPN’s website. As you can see, Abby oversees the dominionist agenda for the entire state of Pennsylvania. Image
5/ As you can see, part of her job is to recruit local dominionist leaders to help take control of the state. The “Seven Mountains” (referenced at the top of the screenshot) is a supposedly divine strategy for achieving dominion. Image
6/ The “Seven Mountains” identifies 7 aspects of society that Christians must conquer. Followers are told to pick a “mountain” and help “re-claim” it for Christ. Image
7/ David Barton promotes the Seven Mountains dominionist agenda. adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/the… Image
8/ Here is where I first warned in Nov last year that Moms for Liberty collaborates with dominionist David Barton. archive.ph/2022.11.17-234… Image
9/ David Barton’s son, Tim Barton, will speak at the Moms for Liberty summit in Philadelphia.
Wallbuilders is David Barton’s organization. It collaborates with the so-called “Patriot Academy” in providing “biblical citizenship” training courses. Multiple Moms for Liberty chapters in PA have taken those courses, as shown by @KiraResistance. 11/
Moms for Liberty also works w/ “parental rights” groups founded by Michael Farris, a highly influential Christian homeschooling proponent who once wrote that “[We] will succeed when our children…engage wholeheartedly in the battle to take the land.” 12/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…
The article in post 12 is my latest for @BucksCoBeacon. 13/
As I said, the NAR (a network of like-minded dominionists) sees PA as the cornerstone of their agenda to take dominion of the country for God. NAR leaders Cindy Jacobs & John Benefiel put Abby Abildness in charge of making this happen. She’s their representative. 14/
Abildness also leads the PA Prayer Caucus which works with state legislators to try to pass laws that comport with their dominionist agenda. 15/
In this capacity, NAR leader Abby Abildness has worked very closely with state Senator Doug Mastriano who also sees PA as the “seed of a [Christian] nation.” 16/
Naturally, Moms for Liberty is a fan. 17/
You remember Mastriano, right? He’s still in the PA state senate. 18/
This article, which I cite in the thread, is by the amazing @FredClarkson and hot off the press! Must read. 19/ salon.com/2023/06/17/unf…
I only just now realized that this was Fred’s new article. And I had been waiting for it! He’s an excellent resource on the NAR. 20/
Further evidence of the alliance between Moms for Liberty and the NAR, a dominionist movement and network of like-minded dominionist leaders. Jim Garlow is a NAR heavyweight. This is an important and frightening find by @KiraResistance. 21/

25/ Recently posted by a member of Moms for Liberty in PA. Note the reference to the “full armor of God.”
I’m told she has also worked as a Mastriano volunteer. ImageImage
26/ Betsy DeVos spoke at the Moms for Liberty summit in Florida last year. They want PA to be the next domino that falls. Image
Dominionists have already made significant inroads into parts of Colorado, as @FredClarkson reported here. 29/
“IF EVERY CHURCH SAID, ‘WE WILL TAKE OVER OUR COMMUNITY.' The Christian Right Revolution Starts Small and Local.” @FredClarkson warned us in 2021. 30/ religiondispatches.org/if-every-churc…
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich has also appeared on American Family Radio, a project of the American Family Association, which published an essay called, “In Defense of Christian Nationalism.” h/t @KiraResistance 31/ archive.ph/2023.06.17-233… ImageImageImage
32/ Archived link to the essay. archive.ph/2020.01.21-150…
33/ More proof of active collaboration between Moms for Liberty & a “parental rights” group tied to Michael Farris, a highly influential Christian homeschooling advocate who wrote that, “[We] will succeed when our children …engage wholeheartedly in the battle to take the land.” Image
35/ Patriot Academy partners with “Seven Mountains” dominionist David Barton in providing “biblical citizenship” training. As I mentioned above, multiple PA Moms for Liberty chapters are on board w/ this. Further evidence below. h/t @KiraResistance 👇 Image
36/ More receipts. Again, Patriot Academy (founded by Rick Green) and Wallbuilders (founded by David Barton, a “Seven Mountains” dominionist) have a “biblical citizenship” training course. Moms for Liberty is a fan and vice versa. h/t @KiraResistance ImageImage
37/ If “biblical citizenship” training sounds familiar to you, it may be because Lauren Boebert has promoted it too.
Link: Image
40/ Moms for Liberty thinks it’s a great idea for Christians who homeschool their own kids (or who send their own kids to private Christian schools) to nonetheless stick their noses into the public school system.
41/ Moms for Liberty’s self-described partner says “we’re supposed to subdue the world and take dominion of our territory … We choose leaders that have fear of the Lord.”
43/ Moms for Liberty = Moms for Christian Supremacy. The national media has been far too slow making this connection. The public deserves to know before these zealots destroy more public schools.

Dominionist leader Lance Wallnau plans to use his multi-state “Fire and Glory” tour to recruit people for school board races. Wallnau has advised his followers to “destroy the public education system before it destroys America,” as reported in @ellehardy’s book, Beyond Belief. 1/
2/ Image
3/ This was one of Wallnau’s events in 2022. Wallnau is part of a global dominionist network called the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). They can pack stadiums as illustrated here.

Wow. @pryncyssa found a link between Moms for Liberty & the so-called “Truth & Liberty Coalition” where dominionists Lance Wallnau & David Barton sit on the board. Dominionism is the belief that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of society & culture. 1/
“Truth & Liberty” is based in Colorado and was founded by Andrew Wommack who also owns the Charis Bible franchise. @FredClarkson wrote about him here. 2/ religiondispatches.org/if-every-churc…
I’ve written about Wallnau and dominionism many times, including here. I discussed Truth & Liberty in here as well. 3/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/08/underr…

The “five fold ministry” is a reference to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a dominionist movement and network of like-minded dominionist leaders. I knew the Victory Channel platform NAR leaders. I didn’t know that they call themselves the “five-fold ministry in action.” 1/
The NAR works closely w/ MAGA leaders, such as Mike Flynn & Roger Stone (as well as MTG & Boebert), and was heavily involved with the effort to overturn the 2020 election, as I reported here. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/10/domini…
It seems that the NAR was also involved with the real-time effort to falsely blame Jan 6 on “Antifa.” What did they know, and when did they know it? 3/

Michael Farris used the “parental rights” rubric 2 oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ghost wrote Paxton’s brief challenging TFG’s loss, mentored Jenna Ellis, & led the ADF, which helped overturn Roe & hosted Amy Coney Barrett. He’s coming 4 the Constitution. 1/ Image
2/ I wrote about how Farris
has enabled the toxic Christian homeschooling environment from which the Duggars emerged & how Trump put Farris on his 1776 advisory board. Amy Coney Barrett spoke at the ADF (which he led until recently) 5X. #ShinyHappyPeople buckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…
3/ The public deserves to know the identity of the “parental rights” puppeteers (the people behind the current, pulling strings), as well as their agenda. Christian homeschooling leader Michael Farris is such a puppeteer. Here is his agenda: Image

Tom Fitton is president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), a Christian umbrella & strategy group that began strategizing to overturn the 2020 election in FEB 2020. He encouraged Trump to pardon Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, & Manafort in early 2020 (which Trump then did). 1/
Tom Fitton is the guy who drafted a proposed statement for Trump to use to preemptively declare victory on November 3, before all of the votes were counted. I wrote about him here. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/05/part-5…
