  12. From 2018: THEOCRATIC MERCENARY ERIK PRINCE AND THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT.

    "President Donald Trumps election allowed the Christian right to achieve a new level of domination in the US government. Since the 1960s, the #ChristianRight has become the loudest voice in the Republican Party, moving their message from the revival tents and into the political arena. Continuing this tradition, Erik Dean Prince, founder of the private security services firm RBlackwater, embodies the values of a heavily financed movement in American politics, combining elements of corporate greed, pro-war fanaticism, and religious fundamentalism. Prince has been eyeing a run for political office, which would enable him to help legislate his proposals and build momentum for his fellow travelers to achieve the same in the 2018 and 2020 elections.

    A Son is Born

    "Erik Dean Prince was born in Holland, Michigan, on June 6, 1969, the youngest child and only son of Edgar and Elsa Prince, who also had daughters Betsy, Emilie, and Eileen. As documented by author Suzanne Simons in her 2009 book Master of War: Blackwater USA's Erik Prince and the Business of War, Prince grew up in a religious household and attended Christian schools; the Princes were members of the Reformed Church in America, a conservative Christian sect that follows the philosophical template of theologian John Calvin.

    "Edgar Prince worked as a die caster and then chief engineer for the die cast machine manufacturing outfit Buss Machine Works after serving in the US Air Force. In 1965 he and two co-workers struck out on their own to establish Prince Manufacturing. By the 1970s the company expanded its operations and became financially successful, as did the Prince family. Edgar Prince died of heart failure in 1995, and the company was sold to Johnson Controls for over $1 billion.

    "Surrounded by those who share their belief in Christian-based politics, the Prince family has used its fortune to help build the conservative Christian movement. Focus on the Family founder #JamesDobson and Richard Nixon's disgraced former special counsel Charles Colson (who became a born-again Christian after serving seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal) were family friends. Edgar and Elsa Prince were major contributors to the Family Research Council and founded the nonprofit Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation in 1979, substantial funds from which have gone toward the effort to abolish the legal wall separating church and state. lhe Prince family also has deep ties to the Council for National Policy (#CNP) which, according to its vision statement, supports 'a united conservative movement to assure, by 2020, policy leadership and governance that restores religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and Judeo-Christian values under the Constitution.'

    "From Reverend Billy Graham's "spiritual counsel" to twelve US presidents, to Reverend #JerryFalwell's #MoralMajority movement of the 1970s and '80s, to Marion Gordon #PatRobertson's #ChristianCoalition (now the Christian Coalition of America), the movement to push a fundamentalist 'Judeo-Christian' agenda into the public sphere has been an ongoing crusade. Keeping with family tradition, #ErikPrince's sister Betsy married fellow Christian right figure Dick DeVos, whose father is the founder of Amway and the past president of the CNP from 1990-1993. #BetsyDeVos served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party and now serves as US Secretary of Education under Donald Trump. The DeVos dynasty, labelled a 'family of extremists' by the Center for American Progress, is undoubtedly having an influence on the Trump White House.

    "As many readers of this publication [#TheHumanist] likely know, the Christian right calls for: mandatory prayer in school, the abolition of #ReproductiveRights and bans on #SameSex marriage, persecution of #minority groups, and funding of #pseudoscientific studies (such as those that deny #ClimateChange and promote intelligent design). Recently, Secretary DeVos instructed her office to remove guidelines protecting the #CivilRights of #transgender students. This is only one of many ways that she and her #Trumpian cohorts are ignoring the will of the majority in favor of the #theocratic #tyranny of the few. By contrast, DeVos's brother Erik, characterized by critics as a 'mercenary' and '#WarProfiteer,' made his mark on US policy through his controversial outfit Blackwater. "

  14. The unrest in #Iran is more than anger about the economic free fall in that benighted country. It’s been simmering for decades, as well-educated Iranians have grown sick of the shackles placed on them by the mullahs and their #Islamist regime.

    May 2006 be the year of their liberation. And may the US and Israel—despite their corrupt, incompetent, and reactionary administrations—not fuck this up. A #democratic (or at least, non- #theocratic) government in Iran is a world-changer, if the west supports its establishment and preempts alliances with Russia and/or China.

  20. #DougWilson Has Spent Decades Pushing for a #Christian #Theocracy. In #Trump’s DC, the #NewRight Is Listening.

    #DougWilson has built a #theocratic regime in Moscow, Idaho, where men rule and biblical teachings guide everything. Now he’s taking the model national, with a receptive crowd in the #GOP.

    By Ian Ward, 05/23/2025

    Excerpt: "Wilson has spent much of his career outside the conservative mainstream, which has distanced itself from his frank defense of theocracy, his ultra-#patriarchal views on gender relations and his reactionary stances on race and 'the war between the states,' as he still calls the #CivilWar. (On the 'About' page of his blog, Wilson describes his politics as 'slightly to the right' of the #Confederate general Jeb Stuart.) Online, Wilson has cultivated a punk-rock aesthetic designed to foster his reputation as the 'based' intellectual bad boy of American #evangelicalism: In a promotional video posted at the height of the conservative backlash to '#woke' media companies in 2023, Wilson used a skull-and-crossbones-emblazoned flamethrower to torch oversized cardboard cutouts of various Disney princesses and social media companies, all while puffing on a fat cigar."

  22. I think #Trump is a sick man, we can make jokes and laugh at him to see him get angry.
    But that is not the point.
    The point is, #Trump, the #GOP, #Project2025 are trying to demolish democracy.
    Be it #fascist or some #theocratic #dictatorship.
    If Trump is NOT stopped this will end democracy in the USA and in a short while in the rest of the world.
    So DON’T laugh at Trump, don’t think it will go away.
    But FIGHT !!!!!!

  27. @PDFlynn so it's not what elected or appointed public officials say ... It's also what they refuse to say. It's also that same issue that they will exploit to make "their" new America a great big, beautiful #Theocratic #Oligarchy.

  28. @jeffjarvis

    You can't have an #Theocratic #Oligarchy type government with all those scientific theories getting in the way of their stupidity.

  29. #Billionaires #USpol #Taxes

    I hope every taxpayer in the #USA understands that as long as billionaires are running this country, billionaires will never pay their share of taxes.

    It's why the #RepublicanParty has allowed this #Theocratic #Oligarchy type of government to form.

    Remember: The #MAGAcult believes God loves billionaires way more than the middle class and the poor.

Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance?

    You also know #Zionists will call anyone they see as a threat to the #Isreali state #antisemite, right?

  35. Donald #Trump was surprised that he won the election. No lie, even he thought he would lose.

    You wonder if he attributes that to Elon #Musk, since he's so cucked due to the immigration visa debacle.

    It's like the dumbest election cycle yet. The republicans won based on a #FarRight, #Theocratic and #xenophobic ticket, which the #neonazi #MAGA crowd loved, only for the entire dog and pony show to become apparent as Musk doesn't want to lose his #Indian #tech workers - who he exploits.

    The left media has pandered to people like me for nearly a decade, focusing about how misguided or ignorant the #maga movement is, or how #Trump is going to face consequences RealSoonNow. That needs to change, fast.

  38. The #GOP has been taken over by an anti-American, #fascist #cult that seeks to overthrow the democratically elected government, and install a #Christofascist, #theocratic, #authoritarian regime centered on a 34x convicted felon and rapist. This is what we are facing. If they succeed, it will be the end of America as we know it. By their own words and actions, they are done with democracy and seek to end it.

  40. It's disgusting that #USAToday gave this #HeritageFoundation #Christofascist a national platform to launder his #HandmaidsTale-inspired, #ChristianNationalist, #theocratic agenda for America. These people are the scum of the earth, and their literal demise cannot come soon enough. They want America to be a #Christian #theocracy, where everyone is forced to live by their #regressive, #puritanical, #antiIntellectual, #homophobic, #misogynistic ideals. Fuck this guy.

  42. To achieve #Peace in the #Middle #East (for real)
    it's necessary
    first of all
    that the #fundamentalist #theocratic #regime in #Iran ends,
    and that #Persia returns to being #free and #democratic.
    Afterwards there will be peace in the Middle East IMMEDIATELY.
    Since ALL frictions terror violence are fomented, engineered wanted caused >>> By the #Iranian #Dictatorship.

    As long as the Iranian Dictatorship is in power
    There will be NO peace in the Middle East.

  43. "The Case for Christian Nationalism"
    is a 2022 book by Stephen Wolfe.

    The book argues for #Christian #nationalism based on cultural and ethnic affinity from a Christian perspective,
    and a retrieval of traditional Christian political thought

    Summary

    Stephen Wolfe approaches nationalism as becoming conscious of, and "being for", one's own "#people-#group".

    He argues that #homogeneity within each people-group allows it to more properly pursue the good
    by ordering earthly life toward heavenly life,
    and that while a principal image of heavenly life can be found in Christian worship,
    💥only a Christian nation can provide a complete image.

    Wolfe argues for homogeneity by constructing a theological anthropology,
    positing that humans would have formed separate, culturally distinct communities,
    even if the fall of man had not occurred.

    In addition, he argues that this should be accomplished through a "measured #theocratic #Caesarism",

    a #Christian #prince.

    Wolfe follows early Reformed thinkers, such as Francis Turretin, in
    🧨 assigning the government a role in suppressing outward displays of "false religion",

    -- but not a power to coerce the conscience or inward religion.

    The civil magistrate is tasked with wielding "formal civil power" for the public good.

    He also argues that Christian nationalism is compatible with the tradition of the American founding.

    Reception:

    In a review, Kevin DeYoung of The Gospel Coalition gave the book one star out of five, stating,
    "I understand and sympathize with the desire for something like Christian Nationalism,
    but if this book represents the best of that ism,
    then ➡️ Christian Nationalism is not the answer the church or our nation needs."

    Paul Matzko of Reason magazine called the book "#segregationist",
    stating,
    "Wolfe's ethnicized vision of Christian nationalism is a reminder that, in a post-liberal vacuum,
    ➡️ fearful American Christians have become easy targets for people whispering to take up the sword of the state and smite their foes."

    James Clark of The North American Anglican wrote that "Wolfe's account of revolution could be stronger"
    but he has nevertheless "written something important here,
    something that deserves to be read and contemplated."

    Owen Strachan suggests that ⚠️the New Testament is largely missing from "Wolfe's Thomistic project of political philosophy."

    The book's epilogue has a looser tone and structure from the preceding chapters.
    Reviewers have called it a "#rant" that attacks many cultural and political issues,
    including "#gynocracy"
    (rule by women),
    #sexual #deviancy,
    and the "#globalist American #empire",

    and which calls for banishing or #executing #heretics.

    Reviewers have said that the book calls for #blood-#and-#soil nationalism

  45. The notion that #Trump isn't associated with #Project2025 is a brazen, poorly-conceived lie. The truth is that he is inextricably linked to the #farRight, #authoritarian, #theocratic agenda. He has made no secret of his love and support for the #HeritageFoundation, and the architects of the agenda were part of his campaign, and administration. Trump's recent public disavowel is nothing but a charade intended to mitigate the criticism, and mollify the outrage to the toxic plan. Don't believe it.

  47. Louisiana’s new 🔸Ten Commandment’s law🔸 is a legal, political and theological #mess.

    The new law💥 not only runs afoul of the First Amendment but also the Supreme Court precedent 💥established in a ruling in 1980 in Stone v. Graham.

    In that case, the court found that a Kentucky statute requiring school officials to post a copy of the Ten Commandments violated the Constitution’s Establishment Clause,
    commonly understood to refer to the separation of church and state.

    Of course, what makes this all so interesting is that 🔥there seem be a number of Supreme Court Justices who care little for precedent🔥and who are shockingly amenable to a #theocratic approach to American jurisprudence.

    Listen the crime itself is horrible, there is no justification for it. But castration? Is #Louisiana turning into a #Theocratic state? In some middle eastern countries a thief has their hand cut off, and people in the west see that as barbaric. Yet…
