“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. Image
3/ It can happen fast. This is from 11/5/19. religionnews.com/2019/11/05/dou…
4/ Even Doug Wilson characterized Moscow, Idaho as a “blue dot.” That didn’t stop him. Image
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. #ShinyHappyPeople buckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ… Image

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

This is the story of one woman’s journey into the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), the "fastest-growing segment of Christianity in the country—a movement that helped propel...Trump to the WH, that fueled his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, ... 1/ theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
... and that is becoming a radicalizing force within the more familiar Christian right." 2/ By @mccrummens, 6/20/23
The NAR is a "sprawling ecosystem of leaders who call themselves apostles and prophets and claim to receive direct revelations from God." 3/

More on extremist Idaho pastor Doug Wilson who will hold a conference in PA on June 23. Seems Wilson promoted the “Big Lie” via the Every Legal Vote website, which was established by religious zealots too. 1/
I wrote about Every Legal Vote here for @BucksCoBeacon. The piece includes OSINT initially collected by @visionsurreal, but largely ignored by the national media. 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2022/11/united…
3/ The conference is called Repairing the Ruins.

“FBI resisted opening probe into Trump’s role in Jan. 6 for more than a year…In the DOJ’s investigation of Jan. 6, key Justice officials also quashed an early plan for a task force focused on people in Trump’s orbit.” 6/19/23 🥵 washingtonpost.com/investigations…
“But according to a copy of the briefing document, absent from Sherwin’s 11-page presentation to Garland on March 11, 2021, was any reference to Trump or his advisers — those who did not go to the Capitol riot but orchestrated events that led to it.”
