I might need a good #ancestor #theology to start practicing. I'm in the same boat as @[email protected] when it comes to current major theistic #religions. The #ProblemOfEvil seems insurmountable, let alone others. & we see #BarryGoldwater was right about mixing religion & politics.

#NavajoNation Targeted Again for Sacrifice Zone: '#Energy Companies Preying on the People'
#Diné ask: Why is the Navajo Nation allowing energy companies to prey on communities and individuals?
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, May 23, 2024
"Dine' on the Navajo Nation are now targeted with a push to revitalize dirty coal energy, and a hydropower project that would pump precious water from their aquifer. Dine' question why the Navajo Nation government is allowing energy companies to prey on the communities and individuals.
"#LouiseBenally of #BigMountain [#KleeBenally's aunt] said the bottom line is greed. 'They want to eat up everything but, don't know that even their lives depend on it too. Poisoning the natural cycle will come back and destroy them too.'
"The new stampede of parasitic energy companies to the Navajo Nation comes at the same time that #radioactive #uranium trucks, covered only with tarps, are traveling across the Navajo Nation, from the #GrandCanyon uranium mine to the mill in the #WhiteMesaUte community in Utah.
"At the same time, more than 500 #UraniumMines, and scattered radioactive debris, remain on the Navajo Nation, and was never cleaned up by the U.S. government. Dirty coal mines and power plants left the legacy of death and #ForcedRelocation.
Navajo Council Plans Meeting on Revitalizing Coal Industry
"Citing #Trump's push for new #CoalMining, the #NavajoNationCouncil plans to hold a public hearing on
revitalizing the coal industry.
"The Navajo Nation Council announced the public hearing, stating that on April 8 President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order entitled, 'Reinvigorating America’s #BeautifulCleanCoal Industry
and Amending Executive Order 14241' aimed at reversing past federal policies, to boost the coal industry and to strengthen the country’s national energy security, according to the White House."The public hearing is scheduled in Forest Lake Chapter on Friday, May 30. Louise Benally and her family spent their lives battling #PeabodyCoal and resisting forced relocation at Big Mountain on #BlackMesa. She said what Trump is doing is another chapter in the assault on the land and people.
" 'Pl 93-531 is a law created by #BarryGoldwater to target our rights to water and land base to be taken away. He developed that law so, with what Trump is trying to do is no different.'" 'They want to eat up everything but, don't know that even their lives depend on it too. Poisoning the natural cycle will come back and destroy them too.'
" 'The American political system is not our government as traditional people which is where all our modern day problems come from in the form of an endless greed to keep eating up the earth and the natural resources.'
"Louise questioned Navajo Nation President #BuuNygren's support of Trump and coal mining in Washington, and Nygren's agreement for uranium trucks to cross the Navajo Nation. 'The Navajo Nation government is at a crossroads. Buu has been taken by Trump, and the people he is supposed to be responsible for are in question.'
" 'He has been taken into the bag of greed -- uranium and coal yet, there is no water. We want accountability.' "

J.D.Vance himself has admitted he is “plugged into a lot of weird, right-wing subcultures” and one of his faves is the obscure #ClaremontInstitute .
Spawned in Southern California out of the teachings of an academia entrenched #BarryGoldwater speech writer named #HenryJaffa , since his death, it has found new life embracing 21st century figures like #CharlieKirk , #RonDeSantis , #JohnEastman and actively seeks out extremist #RWNJ sheriffs for intensive "fellowships".
What #Politico terms "the intellectual nerve center of the Trumpist right " it's #thinktank was one of seven main influences recently highlighted as shaping recent #Catholic convert #JDVance and his #weird worldviews. Vance has eagerly embraced a host of #FarRight milieu members including members of secret societies, maverick publishers, and acolytes of advocates to "prioritize re-Christianizing America".
#Claremont Institute has rebranded itself from its right wing roots in #academia to a more fearsome forefront of racially divisive anti-Democratic alt right think tanks and what one prominent former #GOP campaign manager called the "West Point of American fascism".
Nowadays Claremont seeks out #socialmedia savvy and influential leaders, such as Vance, DeSantis & Josh Hawley who are white and wryly and openly contemptuous of the left, most minorities and even #democracy itself. Eagerly embracing divisions and propelling #MAGA Xtian supremacist ideologies, the place that brought you #Pizzagate is far from honest #AbeLincoln or other flag bearers of Claremont's #conservatism hailed at the orgs founding.
Nowadays, largely estranged from the CA based institution it was founded at, the founder of the Claremont Institute's archives are actually held at Michigan's rural #HillsdaleCollege—a private, #conservative #ChristianAcademy headed by one of the institute’s 70's era original members.

#JackieRobinson skewered the Republican establishment for nominating #BarryGoldwater in 1964, saying the Party was in danger of “being taken over by the lily-white-ist conservatives.”

During the ‘64 campaign, Republican party officials in #California asked #Reagan to film a speech on behalf of #BarryGoldwater.
The speech aired on October 27, 1964 and it was electrifying.
Donations to the Republican party and candidates increased dramatically.
The Republican Party took note and they targeted Reagan as a candidate from that point forward.
He agreed in 1966 to run for Governor of California.
He won two terms, and eventually won the Presidency.

14/23 #RichardMNixon, the Republican California senator (though born in NY) who had been vice-president under #DwightDEisenhower, ran for president back in 1960, losing to #JFK.
He lost the 1964 nomination to #BarryGoldwater (noted as a significant conservative shift for the Republican party).
Nixon ran again in 1968 and (finally) won — but just barely; to strengthen his administration, he needed an angle, coming up with his #SouthernStrategy.
Nixon strategically powered the #PartySwitch

[SPOILER WARNING BELOW]
#Peace, little girl aka Daisy aka Daisy Girl was the #PoliticalAd campaign to end all ad campaigns. It opens innocently enough with a little blonde girl, picking the petals of an ox-eye #daisy while counting. When the final petal's gone, the tone changes completely*
This deceptively simple #propaganda #film was made in support of Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign by ad agency #DBB and media consultant #TonySchwartz. It was so effective and bleak in is insinuations that the Johnson campaign was forced to pull it after only one screening.
What fascinates me is the similarity with one particular scene from James Whale's Frankenstein (1931). The Monster (#Karloff) meets a little girl who sits on the shore of a lake, picking daisies. He approaches her, and the girl, knowing the creature is a good man at heart, invites him to play a game with her involving them tossing the daisies into the lake. <spoiler>When they run out of daisies, the Monster picks up the girl who to him is as pretty and innocent as a flower, and throws her into the water.</spoiler>.
This scene was cut and considered lost until the 1980s. Could Tony Schwartz have been aware of that scene? He was at the right age to have seen the pre-code, pre-cut version.
*Peace, little girl is deceptively simple and only a minute long. However, do watch it on a sunny day: https://www.loc.gov/item/mbrs01185386.

This deceptively simple #propaganda #film was made in support of Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign by ad agency #DBB and media consultant #TonySchwartz. It was so effective and bleak in is insinuations that the Johnson campaign was forced to pull it after only one screening.
What fascinates me is the similarity with one particular scene from James Whale's Frankenstein (1931). The Monster (#Karloff) meets a little girl who sits on the shore of a lake, picking daisies. He approaches her, and the girl, knowing the creature is a good man at heart, invites him to play a game with her involving them tossing the daisies into the lake. <spoiler>When they run out of daisies, the Monster picks up the girl who to him is as pretty and innocent as a flower, and throws her into the water.</spoiler>.
This scene was cut and considered lost until the 1980s. Could Tony Schwartz have been aware of that scene? He was at the right age to have seen the pre-code, pre-cut version.
*Peace, little girl is deceptively simple and only a minute long. However, do watch it on a sunny day: https://www.loc.gov/item/mbrs01185386.

Im US-Wahlkampf 1964 kaperte der Rechtspopulist Barry Goldwater die Republikanische Partei und wurde Präsidentschaftskandidat. Er scheiterte, doch die Parallelen zu Trump sind verblüffend.
