On Jan 26, Trump will visit Dream City megachurch in AZ, which opened a Christian Academy with Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA to fight “wokeness” in public schools. Today, news broke that one of Charlie Kirk’s teachers was arrested for alleged sexual assault involving a minor. 1/

11/ This promotion of Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA Academy didn’t age well.
14/ Backup. Image
15/ Hypocrisy is a feature not a big. Here’s Charlie Kirk schmoozing with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Image
16/ For those who are unaware of the SBC’s sprawling sex abuse scandal.
17/ As if that weren’t enough…. Thread. 👇
18/ Charlie Kirk is also in the CNP. As I said, hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.👇
19/ Image
20/ Dream City & TPUSA seek to “continue winning the American Culture War.” 🙄 Image
21/ The allegations against former CNP president Paul Pressler (a former SBC leader) are what triggered the broader investigation into sex abuse in the SBC.
24/ Ties between Dream City megachurch in AZ and Awaken megachurch in San Diego (led by Jurgen Matthesius whose wife is Leanne).
26/ This is from the Awaken megachurch’s Emerge Men’s conference.
27/ Correction post 1: the story broke Jan 18, not Jan 20.
28/ From 2020. It seems they have become even more bold about holding Trump rallies since then.
29/ Trump’s speech at Dream City megachurch during the pandemic.
31/ Image
32/ Both Dream City megachurch and Awaken megachurch have hosted Mike Flynn’s Reawaken America tour. rawstory.com/mike-flynn-265…
Image
32/ Dream City also hosted a Flashpoint Live tour with NAR leaders Lance Wallnau and Dutch Sheets, as well as pastor Mark Burns and others. NAR = New Apostolic Reformation.
33/ Flashpoint is on Kenneth Copeland’s Victory Channel.
35/ I reported on the NAR, Flashpoint, and the Reawaken America Tour (RAT) here. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/08/underr…

36/ It was this tweet of a Flashpoint event in GA that launched my NAR research. It featured NAR leaders Lance Wallnau and Dutch Sheets, along with pastors Mario Murillo and Hank Kunneman. Flashpoint host Gene Bailey was there too. They prayed over MTG during the same event.

The Christian Right coalesced into a political movement not over Roe v Wade, but rather over outrage due to the removal of the tax-exempt status of segregated schools, as explained by Rev. Dr. Randall Barber, quoting Christian Right leader Paul Weyrich. 1/
2/ Christian Right leader Paul Weyrich said that opposition to abortion was not the precipitating cause of evangelical political activism, but rather “Carter’s intervention against Christian schools trying to deny them tax-exempt status on the basis of so-called ‘segregation.’”
3/ Paul Weyrich said he had tried and failed since the early 1970s to persuade evangelical leaders to involve themselves in politics on issues such as abortion & prayer in schools. These leaders changed their minds to defend racial segregation in schools.

It’s happening again. Harry Haury of United Sovereign Americans seems tight with the same Christian supremacist cabal whose massive propaganda machine fueled the “Big Lie.” If this doesn’t make ur blood pressure go up, I’m not sure what will. 👇 1/

Listen to them laugh. Speaker Mike Johnson was dean of a school named after Paul Pressler, a former president of the CNP, a Christian Right umbrella that deflects from church sex abuse by accusing others of grooming. Pressler is accused of sexual misconduct involving minors. 1/
At least 6 men have accused Paul Pressler of sexual misconduct. 2 were minors at the time. The claims against Pressler, a former Southern Baptist Convention leader, led to this investigation. Speaker Mike Johnson, a Southern Baptist, was dean of a school named after Pressler. 2/

Christian fundamentalists loathe Child Protective Services & mandatory child abuse reporting laws. In fact, this is the basis for the “parental rights” movement. I wrote about this in my article re: Michael Farris who sat on Trump’s 1776 commission. 1/
3/ We can “thank” Michael Farris for this. It’s in my article.
