“A Guardian investigation has revealed that a controversial church whose leader has openly expressed the ambition of creating a ‘theocracy’ in America has accumulated significant influence in the [traditionally “blue”] city of Moscow, Idaho.” 11/2/21 1/ theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…
2/ If you think you are safe from the theocratic assault on America because you live in a “blue” city, you may want to take a look at what Doug Wilson is doing in Moscow, Idaho.
4/ Even Doug Wilson characterized Moscow, Idaho as a “blue dot.” That didn’t stop him.
5/ I included a discussion of Doug Wilson in my recent piece on Michael Farris. Wilson’s church church previously ran Canon Press, which is now part-owned by his son & recently published a book promoting Christian Nationalism. #ShinyHappyPeoplebuckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…

8/ Wilson has also helped produce a Christian (“Classical”) homeschooling curriculum.
9/ Doug Wilson’s Christian homeschooling curriculum is as offensive as you might expect.

11/ Doug Wilson’s annual “Repairing the Ruins” conference is coming to Pennsylvania on 6/23/23, less than a week before the Moms for Liberty annual summit, which will also take place in PA. Theocrats have targeted the Keystone state. They want it bad.
In 2004, the SPLC profiled Doug Wilson “after he co-authored a pamphlet on slavery, characterizing it as a ‘life of plenty’ 4 Black people. (His co-author was Steven Wilkins, the former director of the white nationalist League of the South.)” 8/1/20 18/ hcn.org/issues/52.8/ex…
Wilson “revels in his controversial profile: In one 2018 video, he casually smoked a cigar while sitting on a burning couch. ‘It’s not the job of the preacher to be a firefighter out in the world,’ he said. ‘We’re supposed to be arsonists.’” 9/

Elon Musk says it would be “great” to make Ron Paul part of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.” About that … 1/

3/ Thread about Ron Paul’s relationship with Christian Reconstructionist Gary North, a biblical economist who viewed societal collapse as an opportunity to establish a new theocratic form of government.
“Polymarket Hires Nate Silver After Taking in $265M of Bets on U.S. Election … Founded in 2020, Polymarket has raised a total of $70 M from investors including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund … and Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin.” 1/ coindesk.com/arc/outboundfe…
JD Vance & Peter Thiel are friends of Curtis Yarvin who once proposed (under his pen name) converting unproductive people into biodiesel. Yarvin said the proposal was a joke but that the joke “helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal … is a humane alternative to genocide.” By @gilduran76, 7/22/24 1/ newrepublic.com/article/183971…

2/ Yarvin “then concluded that the ‘best humane alternative to genocide’ is to ‘virtualize’ these people: Imprison them in ‘permanent solitary confinement’ where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected to an ‘immersive virtual-reality interface’ so they could ‘experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.’”
If Trump wins, there’s a good chance he’ll choose Moms 4 Liberty advisor Erika Donalds (Byron Donalds’ wife) as education secretary. Here, she says: “We will…rise up as the most powerful voting bloc & political force in the entire world as Christians” 1/
Before the 2000 election, former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris (R) used a faulty felon list to erroneously purge between 1100 and 12K properly registered voters. This alone may have sufficed to throw the election to Bush who later “won” by just 537 votes in FL. 1/ tampabay.com/news/politics/…
