Liberty University’s Falkirk Center Celebrates One-Year Anniversary as Fellows Promote ‘Stolen Election’ Falsehoods and COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories

Liberty University ’ s Falkirk Center celebrated its one-year anniversary this week .
The Center describes its purpose as “ educating , inspiring , and mobilizing Christians in the battle to preserve American liberty and rally citizens in an effort to shape government policies , national institutions , and American society through a Biblical worldview.
” Like its bullying co-founders Jerry Falwell , Jr. and Charlie Kirk , the Center takes an aggressive posture in defense of a Christian nationalist vision and in opposition to secularism .
“ I don ’ t care what the winds of wokeism tell us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an article on Liberty ’ s website .
“ We don ’ t just want to be an organization that barks ; we want to be an organization that bites.
” “ The function and the moral mission of the Falkirk Center is to go on the offense in the name of Christian principles and in the name of exceptional , God-given American liberties , ” says the Center ’ s website .
“ Accomplishing this end requires more than adding noise to the echo chamber .
It requires an army of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowledge to speak truth to believers and unbelievers alike in every professional field and public forum.
” The leaders of Falkirk ’ s “ army of bold ambassadors ” are its fellows , who include : • Kirk , head of right-wing youth organizing group Turning Point USA and a vocal ally of Christian nationalist and dominionist religious-right leaders .
Kirk recently tweeted , “ There is more evidence of systemic voter fraud in America than ‘ systemic racism ’ yet which one do you think Democrats are more worried about ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ church gatherings as a Democratic plot against Christianity .
• Eric Metaxas , author and pundit and promoter of pro-Trump conspiracy theories who will emcee a right-wing rally on the National Mall Dec. 12 .
• Jenna Ellis , an attorney for Trump and the Trump campaign who has been joined at the hip with Rudy Giuliani as they press false and unsubstantiated claims that have been tossed out of one court after another ; as special counsel to the religious-right Thomas More Law Center , she has represented churches defying COVID-19-related public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former member of Congress from Virginia .
• Darrell Harrison , a podcaster and dean of social media at Grace to You , a ministry of controversial outspoken evangelist John MacArthur .
• David Harris , Jr. , a right-wing social media figure who is on the board of Black Voices for Trump and Candace Owens ’ BLEXIT .

Among the first-year accomplishments cited by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ summit ” called “ Get Louder , ” which featured Christian Reconstructionist Gary DeMar as a speaker on a panel moderated by Metaxas .
The celebratory post , written by Liberty communications staffer Logan Smith , mentioned that “ Falkirk Podcast ” guests have included Trump lawyer and national punchline Giuliani and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis , who teaches that genuine Christians must adhere to a belief in a literal six-day Creation and a universe that is thousands of years old .
It also placed the Falkirk Center firmly on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conversations about social justice and racism within the church are dangerous , evil , and enemies of the Gospel .
The article quotes a Liberty University parent praising Falkirk for “ drawing attention to leftist thinking that is attacking the Church.
” “ The Falkirk Center fills a need deeply felt during this time of increasing wokeness and social justice inside the church , calling Christians and pastors to return to the true doctrine of God ’ s Word , ” said Grant May , one of a growing number of Falkirk Center @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Liberty blog post .
“ The center has inspired and encouraged me during the rising fad of cultural Christianity to truly dive into the Word and remember what Christ ’ s commands for the Church were , not modern-day pastors ’ advice on how to be culturally relevant.
” The post also celebrates that the Falkirk Center “ has consistently encouraged churches and pastors to defy ” pandemic “ lockdown orders.
” The anniversary blog post included no mention of the Falkirk Center ’ s co-founder Jerry Falwell , Jr. , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Falkirk moniker is a fusion of Falwell ’ s name and that of cofounder Charlie Kirk , who heads the right-wing youth organizing project Turning Point USA , as well as a reference to the battle of Falkirk , memorialized in the movie Braveheart .

Liberty University’s Falkirk Center celebrated its one-year anniversary this week. The Center describes its purpose as “educating, inspiring, and mobilizing Christians in the battle to preserve American liberty and rally citizens in an effort to shape government policies, national institutions, and American society through a Biblical worldview.”
Like its bullying co-founders Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Charlie Kirk, the Center takes an aggressive posture in defense of a Christian nationalist vision and in opposition to secularism. “I don’t care what the winds of wokeism tell us,” said Executive Director Ryan Helfenbein in an article on Liberty’s website. “We don’t just want to be an organization that barks; we want to be an organization that bites.”
“The function and the moral mission of the Falkirk Center is to go on the offense in the name of Christian principles and in the name of exceptional, God-given American liberties,” says the Center’s website. “Accomplishing this end requires more than adding noise to the echo chamber. It requires an army of bold ambassadors equipped with Biblical and Constitutional knowledge to speak truth to believers and unbelievers alike in every professional field and public forum.”
The leaders of Falkirk’s “army of bold ambassadors” are its fellows, who include:
Kirk, head of right-wing youth organizing group Turning Point USA and a vocal ally of Christian nationalist and dominionist religious-right leaders. Kirk recently tweeted, “There is more evidence of systemic voter fraud in America than ‘systemic racism’ yet which one do you think Democrats are more worried about?” He has portrayed public health restrictions on church gatherings as a Democratic plot against Christianity.
Sebastian Gorka, a Steve Bannon acolyte, pugnacious right-wing pundit, and former Trump White House aide.
Eric Metaxas, author and pundit and promoter of pro-Trump conspiracy theories who will emcee a right-wing rally on the National Mall Dec. 12.
Jenna Ellis, an attorney for Trump and the Trump campaign who has been joined at the hip with Rudy Giuliani as they press false and unsubstantiated claims that have been tossed out of one court after another; as special counsel to the religious-right Thomas More Law Center, she has represented churches defying COVID-19-related public health restrictions.
David Brat, former member of Congress from Virginia.
Darrell Harrison, a podcaster and dean of social media at Grace to You, a ministry of controversial outspoken evangelist John MacArthur.
Virgil Walker, a pastor and seminary student who co-hosts Harrison’s “Just Thinking” podcast.
David Harris, Jr., a right-wing social media figure who is on the board of Black Voices for Trump and Candace Owens’ BLEXIT.
Erika Frantzve, a model, podcast host, “social entrepreneur,” and Liberty University doctoral student who recently became engaged to Kirk.
Among the first-year accomplishments cited by the Falkirk Center was its day-long “faith summit” called “Get Louder,” which featured Christian Reconstructionist Gary DeMar as a speaker on a panel moderated by Metaxas.
The celebratory post, written by Liberty communications staffer Logan Smith, mentioned that “Falkirk Podcast” guests have included Trump lawyer and national punchline Giuliani and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis, who teaches that genuine Christians must adhere to a belief in a literal six-day Creation and a universe that is thousands of years old.
It also placed the Falkirk Center firmly on the side of right-wing evangelicals who believe that conversations about social justice and racism within the church are dangerous, evil, and enemies of the Gospel. The article quotes a Liberty University parent praising Falkirk for “drawing attention to leftist thinking that is attacking the Church.”
“The Falkirk Center fills a need deeply felt during this time of increasing wokeness and social justice inside the church, calling Christians and pastors to return to the true doctrine of God’s Word,” said Grant May, one of a growing number of Falkirk Center ambassadors from across the country, according to the Liberty blog post. “The center has inspired and encouraged me during the rising fad of cultural Christianity to truly dive into the Word and remember what Christ’s commands for the Church were, not modern-day pastors’ advice on how to be culturally relevant.”
The post also celebrates that the Falkirk Center “has consistently encouraged churches and pastors to defy” pandemic “lockdown orders.”
The anniversary blog post included no mention of the Falkirk Center’s co-founder Jerry Falwell, Jr., the university’s disgraced former president. The Falkirk moniker is a fusion of Falwell’s name and that of cofounder Charlie Kirk, who heads the right-wing youth organizing project Turning Point USA, as well as a reference to the battle of Falkirk, memorialized in the movie Braveheart.

rightwingwatch--2020-12-11--Right Wing Bonus Tracks: Gonna Do a Miracle

Rev. Pat Robertson told viewers of his “700 Club” show on CBN that a “miracle” is in the offing with the lawsuit the state of Texas is bringing before the Supreme Court, seeking to overturn the results of 2020 presidential election. In a clip featured on Newsweek’s website , Robertson said, “God is never late. We declared on this program, and you joined with me, that God almighty was gonna do a miracle and stop the theft of our election and the fraud that was being perpetrated on the American people, and that God himself would intervene.”


rightwingwatch--2020-12-11--Infighting Among ‘Stop the Steal’ Activists Intensifies Ahead of Competing D.C. Saturday Rallies

Trump loyalists , conspiracy theorists , religious-right activists , and far-right activists will converge on Washington , D.C. , yet again this weekend to make unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in an effort to keep Donald Trump in the presidency .
But while the Nov. 14 “ Million MAGA March ” saw conservatives and extremists come together for one large rally , the Dec. 12 events show how that loose coalition has suffered some splintering , as infighting about tactics and combative personalities take center stage .
As Peter Montgomery reported earlier this week , the so-called Stop the Steal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will team up with Jericho March and Ed Martin ’ s Phyllis Schlafly Eagles for a “ Let the Church ROAR ” prayer rally on the National Mall .
( Martin has also been working as part of the Stop the Steal team . )
The morning will begin with simultaneous marches around the U.S. Capitol , Supreme Court , and Department of Justice before converging on the National Mall for the prayer rally that will feature such right-wing superstars as disgraced former four-star general Mike Flynn .
Right-wing pundit and radio show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virginia Women for Trump—not to be confused with the national Women for Trump—has recently joined as a sponsor .
A competing rally , “ March for Trump , ” led by Women for America First , American Priority , Latinos for Trump , LEXIT , and Drag the Interstate 1776 will take place at Freedom Plaza , just east of the White House at noon .
The Proud Boys hate group has also advertised the event on their Telegram channel , suggesting that a Proud Boy contingent will be on hand .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Amy Kremer , chair of Women for America First , said in a tweet that used the # StoptheSteal hashtag .
“ It has not changed and WILL NOT change … Others are trying to confuse & dilute the effort.
” In other tweets , Kremer and her daughter and fellow MAGA activist Kylie Jane Kremer attacked the “ fake news media ” for reporting on the “ Let the Church ROAR ” rally on the National Mall .
On the website for their efforts , a pop-up repeats that it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ FAKE NEWS ” and makes no mention of the other , official Stop the Steal event being held there .
Meanwhile , Stop the Steal graphics for its event prominently advertise the location of the National Mall .
The antagonistic tone may be surprising for some who remember that the Kremers and Alexander , who is in league with the competing “ Let the Church ROAR ” event , had worked together on Stop the Steal in November , with the Kremers listed as “ running point ” for different events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is chaired by Amy Kremer , started the popular Stop the Steal Facebook page until it was shut down for peddling disinformation about the election results .
Kremer ’ s group was also the only organization to get a permit for the Nov. 14 “ Stop the Steal ” rally , which also went by “ Million MAGA March ” and “ March for Trump ” —formerly different events that came together under one banner—and they were among the first to speak at that rally .
The bickering and snide comments seems to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kremer launched a two-week March for Trump bus tour and billed it as a follow-up to the Nov. 14 event and part of the Stop the Steal campaign .
Alexander took to social media to deride the tour shortly after it was announced , telling his audience , “ We ’ re not doing this stupid bus tour.
” But Alexander found himself in hot water last week , the day after he had threatened to burn down the GOP , when during a hot mess of a so-called Stop the Steal rally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encouraged voters not to vote for Republican Sens .
David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in Georgia ’ s Jan. 5 U.S. Senate runoffs , which will determine which party ultimately controls the Senate .
Alexander ’ s friend and fellow far-right activist Mike Cernovich called that rally an “ insurrection , ” prompting public criticism from far-right activist Jack Posobiec .
Alexander , in turn , launched a full-throated attack on Posobiec , suggesting he had dirt on him .
While the Kremers have avoided calling Alexander out by name , they appear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , whom they retweeted , as she lashed out at Alexander in a series of tweets for suggesting that his people won ’ t vote for Loeffler or Perdue .
In a Periscope video posted last Thursday , Alexander took an opportunity to lash out at the Kremers , whom he did not refer to by name .
Instead , he accused “ these two women with a bus ” of trying to steal a donor of his , calling them “ Jezebels … without the action.
” “ We had two women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weird , ” Alexander said in discussing a Georgia Stop the Steal event .
“ My event outside was hijacked by the March for Trump women .
It was disgusting.
” Ali , who had at that time not yet announced his rally , teased the event and announced in that broadcast that he was indeed heading to Washington , Dec. 12 , telling his audience , “ Don ’ t you worry , I ’ m not going to let these hijackers , these hijackers hijack our movement.
” “ Remember when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he said , claiming 250,000 people turned out .
“ Right now D.C. is so low—right now there is probably 20,000 people or less going .
Right now D.C. is so lame because all of these grifters are putting it on , not Stop the Steal , not legitimate people.
” While thousands attended the event , Alexander ’ s estimate of the crowd size is perhaps unsurprisingly very generous to himself .
Just days ago , he announced an over-the-top “ The Steal ” movie about the Stop the Steal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as some kind of mythic hero and set to epic music usually reserved for scenes of warriors running into battle .

rightwingwatch--2020-12-14--Violence, Both Literal and Rhetorical, Marks Right-Wing Convergence on Washington, DC

Roaming the streets of Washington , D.C. , Saturday night , the Proud Boys , a self-declared “ Western chauvinist ” group with ties to white nationalists , looked for fights .
They found them ; in most cases , they seem to have started them .
In one instance , members of the hate group , dressed in their signature black-and-yellow polos , shoved a counterprotester to the ground and began kicking him .
When a woman tried to escort him away from danger , Proud Boys members sucker-punched him while another yanked her hair , throwing her to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the weekend , nearly three dozen people were arrested , four members of the Proud Boys were stabbed after a cornered man defended himself from attacks , and four Black churches were vandalized , one of which saw its Black Lives Matter sign burned—acts that are being investigated as possible hate crimes .
The groundwork for the chaotic violence was laid earlier that day at a series of pro-Trump events convened to call for President Donald Trump to remain in the White House—where talk of violence and rebellion was loud and clear , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before thousands , and conspiracy theories were touted as fact .
All were given the thumb of approval from Trump , who basked in the display of loyalty to him on Twitter .
Prior to their violence-fueled night , the Proud Boys joined pro-Trump activists gathered for two competing events : “ Let the Church Roar ” on the National Mall , organized by the Stop the Steal campaign and Jericho March , and “ March for Trump ” at Freedom Plaza , organized by Women for America First .
Both rallies staked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign , which was the driving force behind a similar Nov. 14 rally and march in the nation ’ s capital that attracted extremists , including the Proud Boys , conspiracy theorists , and militia groups .
And both Dec.12 rallies featured extreme rhetoric and shared some of the same speakers , including disgraced former four-star general Mike Flynn and right-wing pastor Mark Burns .
Standing behind a podium bearing the Women for America First logo at Freedom Plaza , Burns launched the “ March for Trump ” rally , getting the crowd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before introducing himself and setting the tone for the day : “ I ’ m pastor Mark Burns , and I ’ ve come to let every race-baiting Democrat and liberal that we are not backing down , and we are never , never shutting up !
” Picking up the microphone and pacing the stage , the televangelist , who once called for war at a fringey 2019 gathering at the Trump National Doral Miami , was no less ready for battle .
“ We ’ ve come , we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And I believe we have patriots who are ready for a fight .
We ’ ve come to serve notice on every race-baiting , dividing , God-hating liberal in America that you will not take away the beautiful country that we call the United States of America—never , never , never !
” he shouted , a massive Trump 2020 sign serving as his backdrop .
“ I want you to declare to antifa , and anyone who tries to fight us , if you mess with one of us , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prompting their response : “ You mess with all of us !
” With a rendition of the “ Star Spangled Banner ” underway , Marine One flew overhead with Trump on board , en route to the Army-Navy football game , prompting the commentators at the right-wing Right Side Broadcasting Network—a new favorite since Fox News fell out of favor for reporting on election night that Arizona had voted for Joe Biden—to say that Trump was gracing the rally with his presence .
After Kylie Jane Kremer and her mother Amy Kremer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tea Party laid the groundwork for a Trump presidency , Katrina Pierson , a Tea Party activist and adviser to Trump campaign , discussed rebellion , couched in the narrative of the Founding Fathers .
“ Thomas Jefferson said that a little rebellion is the best medicine for government .
Benjamin Franklin said we have given you a republic if you can keep it .
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God .
So we ’ re going to fight .
We ’ re not going to fight like liberals screaming in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” she said .
“ We ’ re going to fight like patriots.
” She added later on : “ The Second Amendment , that ’ s No .
2 because it ’ s meant to protect the first !
” She wasn ’ t the only one to discuss revolution .
Matt Couch , a Seth Rich conspiracy theorist who is currently being sued by Rich ’ s family , was eager to overturn the votes of 81 million people , particularly those in cities with a large Black population .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1776 right now , right here , in Washington , D.C. , ” he said .
“ Literally eight cities in six states have caused this chaos .
Eight Democrat-run cities .
Milwaukee , Philadelphia , Atlanta , and I could go on and on .
You get the point.
” But the crowd favorite by far was disgraced former national security adviser Mike Flynn , who was welcomed to the stage with cheers and chants of “ Fight like Flynn.
” Flynn is a hero among followers of the far-right QAnon conspiracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example of someone who fought the “ deep state ” and won .
Earlier this summer , Flynn threw his support behind the movement , reciting the QAnon pledge in a video shared to Twitter , and on Dec. 1 , Trump granted Flynn a pardon .
As Right Wing Watch has reported , Flynn endorsed pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood ’ s call for Trump to declare martial law and use the military to oversee a new election .
At the “ March for Trump , ” Flynn alluded to a globalist deep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him , used the American Revolution as a steppingstone to talk about the battle he sees worth waging .
“ I mean it was so patriotic , I get emotional just thinking about them , ” he said speaking about the battles of Lexington and Concord .
“ These were farmers , these were people from their churches and their communities , and they stood up at the time against the greatest power at that time in the world .
We ’ re facing that power right now .
That power is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wants to put their thumb down at who we are .
We are not going to allow that .
We are not going to allow it .
Have faith , have courage , and fight like a Flynn !
” His speech was followed by Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones who seemed keen on raising the rhetorical stakes .
“ We ’ re just locked and loaded , we ’ re just looking for the white of their eyes—not in a violent sense , ’ cause they ’ re going to twist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before talking about William Sherman ’ s march to the sea , in which the Union general conducted a scorched-earth policy through Georgia leading to the Confederacy ’ s surrender .
“ You remember the last march on Georgia with General Sherman ?
I ’ m giving you the green light to come to Georgia .
I want you to join me in holding the line , ” he said .
Two high-stakes run-off elections for U.S. Senate will take place in Georgia on Jan. 5 ; the outcomes will determine which party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the National Mall , some speakers at Stop the Steal and Jericho March ’ s “ Let the Church ROAR , ” were more extreme and blunt in their thirst for war .
Radical conspiracy theorist Alex Jones—apparently tired of attacking the parents who lost their children in the Sandy Hook massacre—took to scream-ranting about a “ Satanic pedophile , globalist New World Order ” he claims is “ publicly stealing this election from the biggest landslide and the biggest political realignment since 1776 , ” while Orthodox Christian George Michalopulos , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to “ crush his enemies ” and “ use his authority under the Insurrection Act to arrest and/or kill everyone who participated in this plot , ” told the audience : “ I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
” The leader of the Oath Keepers , Stewart Rhodes , called on the president to invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law , adding that if Trump doesn ’ t , “ we ’ re going to have to do it ourselves later in a much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s the environment in which the Proud Boys took the streets of Washington Saturday .
By night ’ s end , the founder of Stop the Steal , Ali Alexander , was applauding the hate group , claiming , “ Brave patriots defended the helpless last night .
Thank you .
Dinner ’ s on me .
Proud of my dudes .
”

Roaming the streets of Washington, D.C., Saturday night, the Proud Boys, a self-declared “Western chauvinist” group with ties to white nationalists, looked for fights. They found them; in most cases, they seem to have started them.
In one instance, members of the hate group, dressed in their signature black-and-yellow polos, shoved a counterprotester to the ground and began kicking him. When a woman tried to escort him away from danger, Proud Boys members sucker-punched him while another yanked her hair, throwing her to the ground.
By the end of the weekend, nearly three dozen people were arrested, four members of the Proud Boys were stabbed after a cornered man defended himself from attacks, and four Black churches were vandalized, one of which saw its Black Lives Matter sign burned—acts that are being investigated as possible hate crimes.
The groundwork for the chaotic violence was laid earlier that day at a series of pro-Trump events convened to call for President Donald Trump to remain in the White House—where talk of violence and rebellion was loud and clear, extremists were welcomed and given a platform before thousands, and conspiracy theories were touted as fact. All were given the thumb of approval from Trump, who basked in the display of loyalty to him on Twitter.
Prior to their violence-fueled night, the Proud Boys joined pro-Trump activists gathered for two competing events: “Let the Church Roar” on the National Mall, organized by the Stop the Steal campaign and Jericho March, and “March for Trump” at Freedom Plaza, organized by Women for America First. Both rallies staked a claim to the Stop the Steal campaign, which was the driving force behind a similar Nov. 14 rally and march in the nation’s capital that attracted extremists, including the Proud Boys, conspiracy theorists, and militia groups. And both Dec.12 rallies featured extreme rhetoric and shared some of the same speakers, including disgraced former three-star general Mike Flynn and right-wing pastor Mark Burns.
Standing behind a podium bearing the Women for America First logo at Freedom Plaza, Burns launched the “March for Trump” rally, getting the crowd going with a “U-S-A” chant before introducing himself and setting the tone for the day: “I’m pastor Mark Burns, and I’ve come to let every race-baiting Democrat and liberal that we are not backing down, and we are never, never shutting up!”
Picking up the microphone and pacing the stage, the televangelist, who once called for war at a fringey 2019 gathering at the Trump National Doral Miami, was no less ready for battle.
“We’ve come, we’re ready for a fight, America. And I believe we have patriots who are ready for a fight. We’ve come to serve notice on every race-baiting, dividing, God-hating liberal in America that you will not take away the beautiful country that we call the United States of America—never, never, never!” he shouted, a massive Trump 2020 sign serving as his backdrop.

So we’re going to fight. We’re not going to fight like liberals screaming in the streets, crying like adult children,” she said. “We’re going to fight like patriots.”
She added later on: “The Second Amendment, that’s No. 2 because it’s meant to protect the first!”
She wasn’t the only one to discuss revolution. Matt Couch, a Seth Rich conspiracy theorist who is currently being sued by Rich’s family, was eager to overturn the votes of 81 million people, particularly those in cities with a large Black population. “Patriots and tyrants, this is our 1776 right now, right here, in Washington, D.C.,” he said. “Literally eight cities in six states have caused this chaos. Eight Democrat-run cities. Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and I could go on and on. You get the point.”
But the crowd favorite by far was disgraced former national security adviser Mike Flynn, who was welcomed to the stage with cheers and chants of “Fight like Flynn.” Flynn is a hero among followers of the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory-movement, who see him as an example of someone who fought the “deep state” and won. Earlier this summer, Flynn threw his support behind the movement, reciting the QAnon pledge in a video shared to Twitter, and on Dec. 1, Trump granted Flynn a pardon.
As Right Wing Watch has reported, Flynn endorsed pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood’s call for Trump to declare martial law and use the military to oversee a new election. At the “March for Trump,” Flynn alluded to a globalist deep state and, like the speakers before him, used the American Revolution as a steppingstone to talk about the battle he sees worth waging.
“I mean it was so patriotic, I get emotional just thinking about them,” he said speaking about the battles of Lexington and Concord. “These were farmers, these were people from their churches and their communities, and they stood up at the time against the greatest power at that time in the world. We’re facing that power right now. That power is in the media, the global crowd, who wants to put their thumb down at who we are. We are not going to allow that. We are not going to allow it. Have faith, have courage, and fight like a Flynn!”
His speech was followed by Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones who seemed keen on raising the rhetorical stakes. “We’re just locked and loaded, we’re just looking for the white of their eyes—not in a violent sense, ’cause they’re going to twist my words,” he added, before talking about William Sherman’s march to the sea, in which the Union general conducted a scorched-earth policy through Georgia leading to the Confederacy’s surrender. “You remember the last march on Georgia with General Sherman? I’m giving you the green light to come to Georgia. I want you to join me in holding the line,” he said. Two high-stakes run-off elections for U.S. Senate will take place in Georgia on Jan. 5; the outcomes will determine which party will control the Senate.
Meanwhile, on the National Mall, some speakers at Stop the Steal and Jericho March’s “Let the Church ROAR,” were more extreme and blunt in their thirst for war.
Radical conspiracy theorist Alex Jones—apparently tired of attacking the parents who lost their children in the Sandy Hook massacre—took to scream-ranting about a “Satanic pedophile, globalist New World Order” he claims is “publicly stealing this election from the biggest landslide and the biggest political realignment since 1776,” while Orthodox Christian George Michalopulos, who recently praised a call for Trump to “crush his enemies” and “use his authority under the Insurrection Act to arrest and/or kill everyone who participated in this plot,” told the audience: “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.”
The leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, called on the president to invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law, adding that if Trump doesn’t, “we’re going to have to do it ourselves later in a much more desperate, much more bloody war.”
That’s the environment in which the Proud Boys took the streets of Washington Saturday. By night’s end, the founder of Stop the Steal, Ali Alexander, was applauding the hate group, claiming, “Brave patriots defended the helpless last night. Thank you. Dinner’s on me. Proud of my dudes.”
This post has been updated to reflect that Michael Flynn received three stars from the Army, not four.

Organizers of Saturday ’ s pro-Trump “ Let the Church ROAR ” rally on the National Mall—also referred to as the national “ Jericho March ” —were proud of the fact that the event ’ s organizers represented different strands of conservative Christianity .
Jericho March , which has been encouraging activists to hold daily rallies at state capitols—was created by Rob Weaver , a Pentecostal Christian , and Arina Grossu , a Catholic .
Both have worked for the Trump administration .
The Pentecostal wing of Trump ’ s movement , which includes the dominionist “ apostles ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the New Apostolic Reformation , was represented by speakers like Lance Wallnau , Cindy Jacobs , and emcee Eric Metaxas .
The Messianic Jewish wing , which overlaps others , was represented by speakers like Curt Landry and End-Times author Jonathan Cahn .

QAnon conspiracy theorist Johnny Enlow appeared on the Elijah Streams YouTube channel Friday , where he declared that he had been told by God that any presidential election vote total showing President Donald Trump receiving fewer votes than he has followers on Twitter is fraudulent .
Enlow , who is a leading proponent of Seven Mountains Dominionism , spun a convoluted conspiracy theory alleging that there was a “ red tsunami ” in the 2018 midterm elections in which Republicans made massive gains , only to have those gains wiped out by Democratic voter fraud .
Enlow claimed that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fraud , and rather than contest or expose it , they set up a “ sting operation ” for the 2020 election .
According to Enlow , the Trump campaign did not want to win the presidential election outright because that would have foiled its plans to expose the widespread fraud .

“ It was a sting operation , ” Enlow said .
“ They knew [ the Democrats ] had to cheat , and they knew they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already knew they were going to cheat at least 15 percent , because that ’ s what they did last time .
What they ended up having to do is to cheat by every means known to man .
They had to do the Dominion software , they had to enter into the new algorithms , they had to freeze the election , produce new ballots , pull them out of suitcases .
It ’ s the most flagrant cheating in history.
” “ Until we see at least 88 million votes show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it will not have been [ legitimate ] , ” Enlow added .
“ The numbers are actually greater than that .
I don ’ t know why the Lord gave me two sets of numbers , but he just says , ‘ You ’ re not even seeing close to the truth unless you see at least 88 million.
’ He told me in a weird way : ‘ If you don ’ t see at least as many votes as he has followers on Twitter ’ —88.6 million followers on Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well .

At ‘Stop the Steal’ Rally, Jonathan Cahn Warned of Anti-Christian Persecution Under Democratic Rule and Asked God to ‘Have Your Way’ With Government

End Times author Jonathan Cahn delivered the closing speech at Saturday ’ s “ Let the Church ROAR ” rally , one of several events that brought thousands of right-wing activists to the nation ’ s capital to support President Donald Trump ’ s desperate efforts to remain in power despite losing the election .
Cahn ’ s speech was an example of a primary strategy used by religious-right leaders to drive conservative Christian turnout for Trump : fostering fear of anti-Christian persecution .
“ Let the Church ROAR ” was sponsored by Jericho March and Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was in competition with a “ March for Trump ” being held nearby .
The weekend rallies were sandwiched between the Supreme Court ’ s rejection of a bid by Texas to overturn swing state results and Monday ’ s official Electoral College vote .

”

End Times author Jonathan Cahn delivered the closing speech at Saturday’s “Let the Church ROAR” rally, one of several events that brought thousands of right-wing activists to the nation’s capital to support President Donald Trump’s desperate efforts to remain in power despite losing the election. Cahn’s speech was an example of a primary strategy used by religious-right leaders to drive conservative Christian turnout for Trump: fostering fear of anti-Christian persecution.
“Let the Church ROAR” was sponsored by Jericho March and Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and promoted on conservative Christian media. It was in competition with a “March for Trump” being held nearby. The weekend rallies were sandwiched between the Supreme Court’s rejection of a bid by Texas to overturn swing state results and Monday’s official Electoral College vote. But many of Trump’s religious-right supporters continue to believe and declare that God will yet intervene to give the “anointed” Trump a victory. The weekend featured calls for violence from Trump supporters on stage and actual violence from Trump supporters in the streets.
Cahn has sold a lot of books for his publisher Charisma by purportedly decoding and explaining a biblical “paradigm” he says God revealed to him, in which stories and prophecies in the Bible foretell specific events in modern history, from Mark Twain’s visit to Israel to the elections of U.S. presidents up to and including Trump. Cahn was one of the primary organizers of “The Return,” a Sept. 26 gathering on the National Mall that was meant to seal Trump’s reelection victory and spark a national religious revival.
Cahn teaches that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were God’s way of letting us know that we were due to experience his wrath, but that there would be a window of time during which judgment could be forestalled if the nation would “turn back to God.”
At “The Return” in September, Cahn smashed a clay jar to the ground as a sign of what will happen to the U.S. if it fails to repent and return to God. On Saturday, Cahn didn’t explicitly say that by rejecting Trump, U.S. voters have invited divine wrath, but that was the implication.
Cahn’s remarks at Saturday’s rally, delivered by video, were filled with a litany of woes facing America according to what Cahn called the “biblical template for national judgment.” Cahn painted a dire picture of what the future will look like in an America that has “forgotten her God” and allowed a “spirit of radicalism” to sweep universities, the media, and the Democratic Party.
He warned that those preparing to assume power in Washington “will seek to end the culture war with a total vanquishing of the opposition.” He warned of an America in which believers are forced to perform abortions and their children are indoctrinated into “the ways which war against the ways of God.”
Cahn called attention to the upcoming Jan. 5 runoff elections for the two U.S. Senate seats from Georgia, the outcome of which will determine whether Republicans or Democrats control the U.S. Senate. “Right now, we are standing only two votes, two Senate seats away from a government that is ready to enact the most radical anti-biblical agenda in the history of this nation, without any restraint,” he claimed.
Noting that the rally was taking place during Hanukkah, Cahn drew a long analogy between the events the holiday commemorates and the position of Christians in the U.S. today. He described a time when Israelites were being forced to bow to a wicked government until “the deplorables of that nation” rose up in revolt, and despite being “out-financed” and “out-weaponed,” won the battle with God’s help.
Shifting to a more encouraging tone, Cahn said the message of Hanukkah was never to give up hope, even when the chances of victory appear slim. “God doesn’t look at the odds,” Cahn said. “He doesn’t look at the numbers or the weapons. With God, the odds mean nothing. Just a few people with God who are all out and on fire, whose heart is completely his, are mightier than the many, even mightier than the world.”
Cahn reminded people of the teaching that it is God “who raises up kings and sets them down” and said that God will reign no matter who is sitting in the White House or in control on Capitol Hill. He vowed and encouraged defiance:
We will not surrender to the darkness. We will not give in to the night. No matter what happens in this world, no matter what man may do, no matter what princes may say, no matter what thrones may decree, we will not bow down to Baal. We will not bow down to the gods and idols of man. We will not bow down to princes or kings. We will not bow down to the sacred cows of this age. We will not bow down to the edicts of immorality and the decrees of darkness. We will not bow down to a radical agenda and the totalitarianism of a political correctness. We will not bow down darkness, and we will not bend our knees to evil.
Cahn called Jesus Christ “the foundation stone upon which this nation came into existence and the only answer, the only chance, and the only hope America has that it might once again shine with the light of the fire of the presence of the glory of the living God.”
Cahn asked God to bring spiritual revival to the U.S. and to “have your way” with the government.
After Cahn’s video, rally emcee Eric Metaxas said that God has allowed the U.S. to go through this “weird time” because he is “preparing the church.”
“Don’t lose sight of the fact that this is a spiritual battle,” Metaxas said. “God is in this. God will do this.”
“You know the path to victory? We do not know the path to victory,” Metaxas added. “He knows the path to victory, and he will make a path to victory as he made a path through the Red Sea. Only the God of Israel, the Lord of Hosts, can do what is needed.”


rightwingwatch--2020-12-15--Right-Wing Leaders Join Call for State Legislatures to Overrule Voters and Give Election to Trump

Late last week , just a few days before Electoral College votes were cast in state capitols on Monday , a large group of President Donald Trump ’ s right-wing supporters signed a letter falsely declaring Trump to be “ the lawful winner of the presidential election ” and urging state legislators to ignore certified election results and appoint pro-Trump electors .
The letter was organized by the Conservative Action Project , an advocacy arm of the secretive Council for National Policy network .
Here is the text of the letter : The evidence overwhelmingly shows officials in key battleground @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign by Democrats and allied groups—violated the Constitution , state and federal law in changing mail-in voting rules that resulted in unlawful and invalid certifications of Biden victories .
There is no doubt President Donald J. Trump is the lawful winner of the presidential election .
Joe Biden is not president-elect .
Accordingly , state legislatures in the battleground states of Pennsylvania , Arizona , Georgia , Wisconsin , Nevada , and Michigan should exercise their plenary power under the Constitution and appoint clean slates of electors to the Electoral College to support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House and Senate should accept only these clean Electoral College slates and object to and reject any competing slates in favor of Vice President Biden from these states .
Conservative leaders and groups should begin mobilizing immediately to contact their state legislators , as well as their representatives in the House and Senate , to demand that clean slates of electors be appointed in the manner laid out in the U.S. Constitution .
Several signers were also speakers at the weekend ’ s pro-Trump rallies in Washington , D.C. , including Ed Martin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Frank Pavone of Priests for Life .
The letter , whose signature page was updated Monday , attracted the support of leaders from across the religious and political right-wing movement as well as some corporate CEOs .
Signers include Council for National Policy leaders William Walton and former Rep. Bob McEwen , Rebecca Hagelin of the religious-right voter mobilization group United in Purpose , the Family Research Council ’ s Tony Perkins and Jerry Boykin , the Leadership Institute ’ s Morton Blackwell , the Media Research Center ’ s Brent Bozell III @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Judson Phillips , American Values ’ Gary Bauer , Citizens United ’ s David Bossie , Western Journal publisher Floyd Brown , Elaine Donnelly of the anti-LGBTQ-servicemember Center for Military Readiness , and quite a few others .

Under Virginia law, maliciously disseminating sexual photos without the victim’s consent, with the intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate, is a Class 1 misdemeanor, subject to up to two years in prison and a fine.
On Aug. 11, a video of Ralph and an 18-year-old woman was reportedly posted on Instagram and then Kiwi Farms, a website referred to as “the Web’s Biggest Community of Stalkers” by New York Magazine in 2016 and known for reposting the white nationalist manifesto of the Christchurch shooter in 2019. Ralph claimed he did not leak the video, but far-right websites and personalities suggest otherwise.
Ralph was released from jail on recognizance bail on the same day he was arrested, according to court records, meaning he did not have to pay bail. Ralph claims he was only in jail for about 2.5 hours and that he had another hearing this morning, which he claimed in a tweet was “5 minutes.” This wasn’t his first stay in jail either. Ralph spent eight months in jail after resisting arrest and attacking an officer in September 2016.
In his “Killstream” podcast, which was recorded Tuesday night after his arrest and posted online Wednesday morning, Ralph said police showed up to his home in Richmond, Virginia, Tuesday evening and informed him there was a warrant out for his arrest. Ralph claimed that police officers, whom he called “Richmond’s finest,” allowed him to put on warmer pants and shoes, adding, “the magistrate was very polite, the police officers were amazing.”
“I saw a magistrate, and it was about the whole sex tape thing back in the summer,” Ralph said. “And the magistrate was very polite, the police officers were amazing. They had so many stories to tell, I went into my escapades in Loudoun County.”
“But I had a great time talking to the officers and went down there,” he said. “The magistrate was very kind, allowed me … a recognizance bond, which I walked out without having to pay any money. Since it’s so understaffed because of COVID quote unquote, it took me two hours to get out even though I got bond in like 30 minutes, so that was slightly annoying, but I understand how that goes.”
Ralph claimed he was “very confident of prevailing on this matter” and that he didn’t “want to get in the nuts and bolts … because I don’t feel like it’s appropriate.”
He also claimed he didn’t want to “see any attacks on her or anything like that,” adding, “I am not going to attack her myself. It’s not conducive to anything. I’m very confident in my position as it is. It’s a regrettable situation, I mean, let’s not act like it’s not. But you guys know me.”
However, shortly after Ralph was released from jail, he took to Twitter to publicly attack the victim, a woman with whom it appears he has a son, as “a liar denounced by her own parents,” claiming that she was jealous of his relationship with another woman.
Ralph also took time on his podcast to thank the Richmond PD and gave a shout-out to the magistrate.
“Thank you so much to the Richmond PD. Oh my god, they were—oh, fuck. I shouldn’t even say all that,” he said. “Oh, man, it was funny as fuck, let’s just put it that way.
