Lance Wallnau , a proponent of Seven Mountains Dominionism and a prominent “ prophetic ” supporter of President Donald Trump , used a Pentecost Sunday webcast May 31 to urge Christian leaders to work to reelect Trump and to prepare to take greater governing authority in the world .
Wallnau and other dominionists argue that the “ shaking ” that the United States has experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout—in addition to the the unrest in many cities following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police—are being used by God as a divine “ reset , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take new levels of power and authority in government , business , and other spheres of influence in society .
Before the 2016 election , Wallnau declared that Trump was divinely anointed as “ God ’ s Chaos Candidate.
” Since then , he has been a vocal defender of Trump and has been rewarded with insider access at the White House .
Wallnau is part of the leadership of POTUS Shield , a network of dominionists organized to support Trump ’ s presidency and help bring about the “ prophetic order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conservative Christian leaders said in recent weeks that Pentecost Sunday this year would spark a global spiritual revival and an End Times “ billion-soul harvest ” —along with new power—Wallnau said Sunday that the church ’ s focus at this moment should not be winning individual conversions but fulfilling a biblical mandate to “ disciple nations.
” Wallnau said Christians focus on winning souls because they aren ’ t used to having governmental authority and think , for example , that it ’ s a big deal to get invited to the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ That ’ s a big deal for the average Christian , but from Heaven ’ s perspective—the kingdom of God and the king of the universe—we should be administrating .
Jesus was promised nations for his inheritance , ” he said .
Government and the church are “ both receiving a prophetic infusion and visitation right now , ” because “ governments in the Earth are supposed to be under of government of Jesus , ” Wallnau told the 20,000 people he said were listening online .
Trump ’ s reelection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
Trump is “ taking on the devil everywhere he meets him , ” often fighting battles that preachers should have been leading , Wallnau said .
California-based evangelist Mario Murillo also described the upcoming election in terms of spiritual warfare , saying , “ I believe that one thing that Satan needs is for Trump not to be reelected , ” he said .
“ I think that ’ s the game changer.
” Trump is “ a disruptive force that God has sent at this hour , ” Murillo said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point of all of this is when pastors are in the American pulpit openly telling their people to vote for Donald Trump.
” Dominionist author Robert Henderson repeated his claim that God told him to be Trump ’ s spiritual running mate “ because I need for him to be president for eight years to accomplish what I ’ ve set him to do.
”  Wallnau talked about how the 2016 election hinged on a tiny percentage of people in battleground states shifting the electoral college and putting “ a reforming wrecking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this year ’ s election is a battle over the future of America and whether or not the U.S. can “ maintain a global order ” and defend the freedom of the church worldwide .
And it ’ s not just about getting Trump reelected .
Wallnau said local churches have to “ step up into the apostolic dimension ” of their authority .
“ You can ’ t just pray for , you know , pray for a mayor to rise up now.
” People have to understand that “ those mayors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of God , ” Wallnau said .
“ From this day forward , politicians are either aligned for or against the kingdom of God.
” Wallnau said God is telling his people to make United States their “ project ” and warned that religious freedom is at stake in November ’ s election : Because you could have people that get saved , and you can have a whole move of God with a bunch of people getting saved—I don ’ t think Christians think this thing through—and then if they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you can have Nero come to power or the Third Reich for that matter , and your revival becomes a very short-lived fantasy .
Because following that move of the Spirit , you ’ re going to have a crushing suppression of everybody ’ s religious liberty .
That is so close .
We ’ re only months away from it … The church must rise up and be a governing force .
There ’ s a major global component to the effort of dominionists to “ disciple ” and “ transform @ @ @ @ @ @ @ travels the world as head of the Latino Coalition for Israel , also spoke on Sunday night ’ s webcast .
He said that Latin American presidents are scared but that God is using the “ shaking ” to bring government leaders “ to their knees.

” Jacobs is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation , a network of modern-day “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seek to “ transform ” Christianity and nations .
Wallnau said he has heads of state and legislators from multiple countries calling to ask what God is saying in these times .
“ Could it be that God is calling us into a greater kingdom expression of the power of the age to come than we thought ?
”  he added .
Bramnick said his greatest fear at the moment is not a rebound in the coronavirus but that the church would go back to business as usual rather than seizing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic an “ End Time birth pain for the coming of the Messiah ” and said “ it ’ s time for the church to arise and focus on the reformation of nations.
” Wallnau also used the webcast to promote “ As One , ” a gathering his ministry will host at Trump ’ s hotel in Washington , D.C. , the weekend before the November elections .
“ If Republicans lose the 2020 election , the gains we have made over the last 4 years under President Trump will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sanctity of life , religious liberty , strong economic growth , record low unemployment , a secure border , and much more hang in the balance , ” the event ’ s website claims .

While many conservative Christian leaders said in recent weeks that Pentecost Sunday this year would spark a global spiritual revival and an End Times “billion-soul harvest”—along with new power—Wallnau said Sunday that the church’s focus at this moment should not be winning individual conversions but fulfilling a biblical mandate to “disciple nations.”
Wallnau said Christians focus on winning souls because they aren’t used to having governmental authority and think, for example, that it’s a big deal to get invited to the president’s inauguration or the White House. “That’s a big deal for the average Christian, but from Heaven’s perspective—the kingdom of God and the king of the universe—we should be administrating. Jesus was promised nations for his inheritance,” he said.
Government and the church are “both receiving a prophetic infusion and visitation right now,” because “governments in the Earth are supposed to be under of government of Jesus,” Wallnau told the 20,000 people he said were listening online.
Trump’s reelection is essential, Wallnau and other speakers said. Trump is “taking on the devil everywhere he meets him,” often fighting battles that preachers should have been leading, Wallnau said.
California-based evangelist Mario Murillo also described the upcoming election in terms of spiritual warfare, saying, “I believe that one thing that Satan needs is for Trump not to be reelected,” he said. “I think that’s the game changer.”
Trump is “a disruptive force that God has sent at this hour,” Murillo said. He added that “the tipping point of all of this is when pastors are in the American pulpit openly telling their people to vote for Donald Trump.”
Dominionist author Robert Henderson repeated his claim that God told him to be Trump’s spiritual running mate “because I need for him to be president for eight years to accomplish what I’ve set him to do.”
Wallnau talked about how the 2016 election hinged on a tiny percentage of people in battleground states shifting the electoral college and putting “a reforming wrecking ball into office.” And he said this year’s election is a battle over the future of America and whether or not the U.S. can “maintain a global order” and defend the freedom of the church worldwide.
And it’s not just about getting Trump reelected. Wallnau said local churches have to “step up into the apostolic dimension” of their authority. “You can’t just pray for, you know, pray for a mayor to rise up now.” People have to understand that “those mayors are working for or against the kingdom of God,” Wallnau said. “From this day forward, politicians are either aligned for or against the kingdom of God.”
Wallnau said God is telling his people to make United States their “project” and warned that religious freedom is at stake in November’s election:
Because you could have people that get saved, and you can have a whole move of God with a bunch of people getting saved—I don’t think Christians think this thing through—and then if they’re politically agnostic, if they are uninformed, you can have Nero come to power or the Third Reich for that matter, and your revival becomes a very short-lived fantasy. Because following that move of the Spirit, you’re going to have a crushing suppression of everybody’s religious liberty. That is so close. We’re only months away from it … The church must rise up and be a governing force.
There’s a major global component to the effort of dominionists to “disciple” and “transform” nations. Mario Bramnick, who travels the world as head of the Latino Coalition for Israel, also spoke on Sunday night’s webcast. He said that Latin American presidents are scared but that God is using the “shaking” to bring government leaders “to their knees.” He said that he, Wallnau, and Cindy Jacobs would be meeting soon with 70 legislators from various nations to “tell them the prophetic word of the Lord.” Jacobs is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation, a network of modern-day “apostles” and “prophets” who seek to “transform” Christianity and nations.

He called the consequences of the pandemic an “End Time birth pain for the coming of the Messiah” and said “it’s time for the church to arise and focus on the reformation of nations.”
Wallnau also used the webcast to promote “As One,” a gathering his ministry will host at Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C., the weekend before the November elections. “If Republicans lose the 2020 election, the gains we have made over the last 4 years under President Trump will be in jeopardy – the Supreme Court, the sanctity of life, religious liberty, strong economic growth, record low unemployment, a secure border, and much more hang in the balance,” the event’s website claims. “The 2020 election will determine what it means to be an American. It will be a public referendum on the ideas that govern this country… and the enemies of America will stop at nothing to steal this election and overthrow the will of the people.”
The $250 ticket for the ”As One” rally does not include a Friday night gala, which has already sold out.


rightwingwatch--2020-06-08--Rick Wiles Declares That ‘The Republic Is Over’

A somber and disheartened Rick Wiles used his End Times “ TruNews ” program Friday night to break the startling news that the United States that had existed for 244 years was no more , as it has officially been taken over by “ God-hating communists.
” The breaking point , according to Wiles , came when District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser requested that federal law enforcement and military personnel who had been dispatched to quell protests over the police killing of George Floyd be removed from the city and Defense Secretary Mark Esper ordered National Guard troops disarmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wiles , this was a sign that “ the republic is over ” and that the time had come for him to seriously consider fleeing the country because soon “ the military is going to be ordered to shoot the Trump supporters.
” “ The god-hating communists are now in control of the country , ” Wiles said .
“ I know what history shows about communist takeovers .
They don ’ t hand out Bibles , they burn Bibles , they burn churches , they slaughter pastors , they massacre Christian populations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ Unless God intervenes in the very near future , Donald Trump is finished , ” he continued .
“ If you think he ’ s gon na win reelection and he ’ s gon na fight this group , they neutered him today .
He was neutered in public today .
He can ’ t call on the military now … The only people left are his hardcore supporters , and are they going to go out in the streets and be mowed down by the U.S. military ?
Because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Trump because he doesn ’ t have control of military anymore—the military is going to be ordered to shoot the Trump supporters.
” “ That ’ s what happened today , ” Wiles declared .
“ I want to vomit today .
I ’ ve been sick on my stomach—grieved , depressed—because the republic fell today .

The breaking point, according to Wiles, came when District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser requested that federal law enforcement and military personnel who had been dispatched to quell protests over the police killing of George Floyd be removed from the city and Defense Secretary Mark Esper ordered National Guard troops disarmed and sent some forces home.
For Wiles, this was a sign that “the republic is over” and that the time had come for him to seriously consider fleeing the country because soon “the military is going to be ordered to shoot the Trump supporters.”

rightwingwatch--2020-06-09--Right-Wing Catholic Bishop Praises Trump for Fighting ‘Biblical’ Battle Against Deep State

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò , a right-wing culture warrior and former papal representative to the U.S. , released an open letter to President Donald Trump Sunday praising Trump as a leader in what he called the biblical struggle between “ the children of light and the children of darkness.
” The letter , which was published and praised by the “ traditionalist ” Catholic newspaper The Remnant , was rife with the kind of conspiracy-theory rhetoric that can be found across right-wing social media .
Viganò ’ s letter could hardly be more different in substance and tone from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Archbishop Wilton Gregory objecting to Trump visiting the John Paul II shrine in the nation ’ s capital for a photo op the morning after peaceful protesters were violently moved for a Trump picture-taking session at St. John ’ s Episcopal Church .
While Gregory strongly criticized Trump , Viganò told Trump , “ For the first time , the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life , who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world , who speaks of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to freedom of worship.
” Among the “ children of darkness ” Viganò denounced in his letter was the “ deep state ” —a term originating among right-wing conspiracy theorists to describe high-level government officials supposedly trying sabotage and overthrow Trump—which he claimed is “ fiercely waging war ” against Trump .
Viganò also described a “ deep church ” that he claimed includes bishops who are “ aligned on the opposing side ” : For this reason , I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order , but to aggravate dispositions ; not to bring justice , but to legitimize violence and crime ; not to serve the truth , but to favor one political faction .
And it is disconcerting that there are Bishops – such as those whom I recently denounced – who , by their words , prove that they are aligned on the opposing side .
They are subservient to the deep state , to globalism , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Order which they invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood which has nothing Christian about it , but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those who want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts , out of schools , out of families , and perhaps even out of churches .
Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic , Viganò wrote , “ We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity , arrogating to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.
” And regarding the widespread protests that have spread since the police killing of George Floyd , Viganò wrote , “ It will not be surprising if , in a few months , we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom : Solve et Coagula , as the Masonic adage teaches.
”  ( Solve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; it is a term used by medieval alchemists that Viganò appears to be using in the metaphorical sense of tearing society apart and reconstituting it . )
Viganò was at the center of a controversy in May over a petition that portrayed public health restrictions related to COVID-19 as a “ pretext ” by shadowy figures to keep faithful Catholics from attending Mass and “ a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control.
” Viganò has been a fierce critic of Pope Francis ; in 2018 he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up sex abuse and called on him to step down .
National Catholic Reporter , an independent Catholic news outlet with a more progressive outlook , published a profile of Viganò in 2018 , which suggested that his eagerness to publicly attack church officials may be traced to his being denied a promotion to cardinal .
Among the controversies involving Viganò were his arranging a meeting between the pope and Kim Davis , a county clerk from Kentucky who became a religious-right folk hero when a judge jailed her for several days for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the U.S. Supreme Court ’ s 2015 marriage equality ruling .

Henderson , who claims to have secured Trump ’ s 2016 victory by beseeching “ the courts of Heaven ” and asserts that he has been called by God to serve as Trump ’ s spiritual running mate in 2020 , wore an American flag shirt during the broadcast because he said that he had been commanded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God said to me , ‘ When you stand before me in this , it causes me to remember the United States of America .

rightwingwatch--2020-06-09--Ohio National Guard Member Sent Home for White Supremacist Views Is Likely a Fascist YouTuber

A pro-fascist , white supremacist YouTuber operating under the name “ Zoltanous HN ”  claimed last week to be a soldier deployed to Washington , D.C. , to assist with the federal response to protests after George Floyd , a black man , was killed by a white police officer .
Details about the YouTuber ’ s life shared months ago to a small , obscure chat room make it likely he is the Ohio National Guard soldier who was pulled from his mission in the capital city last week for expressing white supremacist views .
“ Well lads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hear of me either tonight or tomorrow in the news , ” a June 2 message on a Telegram channel linked to his YouTube presence stated .
He posted an acronym coined by white supremacists for “ race and holy war.
” “ They activated my unit and we ’ re getting real ammunition to shoot and kill , ” he wrote .
“ Rahowa.
” On June 5 , Ohio Gov .
Mike DeWine announced that a member of the state ’ s National Guard had been suspended and removed from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had expressed white supremacist views .
The Ohio National Guard stated the member was part of Company C , 1st Battalion , 148th Infantry Regiment .
“ Zoltanous HN , ” as he operates online , may have been that solider .
Right Wing Watch was unable to confirm the exact personal identity of the owner of “ Zoltanous HN ” social media accounts , for which little information is available .
When reached via email , the FBI declined to comment .
The Ohio National Guard said the suspended member was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a member since May 2018 , and was alleged to have ties to an “ extremist organization.
” The Guard declined to comment further or provide the soldier ’ s name due to the investigation ’ s ongoing status .
The  ” Zoltanous HN ” YouTube channel began uploading videos seven months ago , primarily sharing archival films of fascist politicians , promotional material from extremist groups , and clips of far-right speakers .
Most of the videos uploaded to the YouTube channel have less than 1,000 views and his channel has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” section of the channel states : “ I ’ m a Dissident Right content creator who uploads archived videos that agree with the Third Position from economics , philosophy to just generally normal politics .
Enjoy the channel , Hail Victory !
” In 2016 , Chip Berlet , writing at Political Research Associates , identified “ Third Position ” as a form of fascism that “ seeks to overthrow existing governments and replace them with monocultural nation states built around the idea of supremacist racial nationalism and/or supremacist religious nationalism.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Nazi victory salute “ Sieg Heil.
” In a Telegram chat room for fans of his video content , the video creator disclosed information about his personal life that align with what is known about the suspended soldier .
 ” Zoltanous HN ” mentioned in chats with fans being from Huber Heights , Ohio , and alluded to serving in the military several times .
He wrote on April 17 that he was “ being sent ” to a correctional facility in Marion , Ohio , the same day Ohio announced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respond to a COVID-19 outbreak at the prison .
After another user claimed they also lived in Ohio ,  ” Zoltanous HN ” wrote : “ My unit is like 3 hours away from Dayton.
” The unit the Ohio National Guard said the suspended soldier belonged to is headquartered in Walbridge , Ohio , which—depending on the route and where the video creator lives exactly—is about three hours away from Huber Heights .
Announcing that he would be sent to Washington ,  ” Zoltanous HN ” posted a photo of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cot with the caption “ it ’ s time.
” He later sent a photo of his gear piled with others , writing that he had arrived in Washington .
“ We got live ammo , riot gear and tear gas , ” he wrote .
After news broke of the Ohio National Guard member ’ s suspension , the online presence of  ” Zoltanous HN ” immediately halted and his fans have since assumed the worst .
One chat member mourned , “ I feel so bad and I wish there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it ’ s almost like he committed social suicide on purpose .

I want to take a moment to address a situation regarding a member of the @OHNationalGuard, who was removed from the mission in Washington, DC, after the FBI uncovered information that this Guardsman expressed white supremacist ideology on the internet prior to the assignment. — Governor Mike DeWine (@GovMikeDeWine) June 5, 2020
“Zoltanous HN,” as he operates online, may have been that solider.
Right Wing Watch was unable to confirm the exact personal identity of the owner of “Zoltanous HN” social media accounts, for which little information is available. When reached via email, the FBI declined to comment. The Ohio National Guard said the suspended member was a private first class, has been a member since May 2018, and was alleged to have ties to an “extremist organization.” The Guard declined to comment further or provide the soldier’s name due to the investigation’s ongoing status.
The ”Zoltanous HN” YouTube channel began uploading videos seven months ago, primarily sharing archival films of fascist politicians, promotional material from extremist groups, and clips of far-right speakers. Most of the videos uploaded to the YouTube channel have less than 1,000 views and his channel has about 1,500 subscribers.
The “about” section of the channel states: “I’m a Dissident Right content creator who uploads archived videos that agree with the Third Position from economics, philosophy to just generally normal politics. Enjoy the channel, Hail Victory!” In 2016, Chip Berlet, writing at Political Research Associates, identified “Third Position” as a form of fascism that “seeks to overthrow existing governments and replace them with monocultural nation states built around the idea of supremacist racial nationalism and/or supremacist religious nationalism.” Hail Victory is the English translation of the Nazi victory salute “Sieg Heil.”
In a Telegram chat room for fans of his video content, the video creator disclosed information about his personal life that align with what is known about the suspended soldier.
”Zoltanous HN” mentioned in chats with fans being from Huber Heights, Ohio, and alluded to serving in the military several times. He wrote on April 17 that he was “being sent” to a correctional facility in Marion, Ohio, the same day Ohio announced it was training National Guard troops to respond to a COVID-19 outbreak at the prison. After another user claimed they also lived in Ohio, ”Zoltanous HN” wrote: “My unit is like 3 hours away from Dayton.” The unit the Ohio National Guard said the suspended soldier belonged to is headquartered in Walbridge, Ohio, which—depending on the route and where the video creator lives exactly—is about three hours away from Huber Heights.
Announcing that he would be sent to Washington, ”Zoltanous HN” posted a photo of military equipment on a soldier’s cot with the caption “it’s time.” He later sent a photo of his gear piled with others, writing that he had arrived in Washington. “We got live ammo, riot gear and tear gas,” he wrote.
After news broke of the Ohio National Guard member’s suspension, the online presence of ”Zoltanous HN” immediately halted and his fans have since assumed the worst.
One chat member mourned, “I feel so bad and I wish there was a way to help him, but it’s almost like he committed social suicide on purpose.”

Trump Lawyer Jenna Ellis Claims Progressive Left Is ‘Domestically Grown Enemy’ That Seeks ‘Breakdown’ of Society

Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis , a fellow at Liberty University ’ s Falkirk Center , asserted in two recent podcast interviews that civil government must be grounded in the “ objective ” truth of the Bible and Christian definitions of justice , morality , and family , and claimed that “ the progressive left ” is a “ domestically grown enemy ” that is trying to destroy “ ordered society ” and “ create chaos.
” In an interview with CBN ’ s David Brody last Friday , Ellis charged that progressives “ are trying fundamentally to transform America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth , that denies that there ’ s any morality , and certainly that denies God.
” She made similar comments on a Falkirk podcast released June 3 , decrying “ what we ’ re seeing in this postmodern society that has given up the accurate , objective definitions of truth , of justice , of morality.
” She said that anarchists are out to destroy “ these three institutions that God has ordained : the church government , the civil government , the family government.
” When Brody asked Ellis what kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the folks behind it want , ” she began talking about “ The Communist Manifesto ” and went on to charge that “ their ultimate utopia and goal is the fundamental transformation of society to end up in a totalitarian and communist socialist regime.
” Remarkably , she portrayed Democratic governors ’ COVID-19-related public health restrictions as evidence of that totalitarian worldview : And so they want to break down all of the institutions and the pillars of a morally upright law and order civil society to have absolute chaos .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reality for them , is the complete reliance on a communist government that is absolutely not founded on any sort of moral virtue .
And so when you look at these riots and when you look at even the Democrat-led cities and governors who have imposed these tyrannical orders , it ’ s remarkable to me that we ’ re seeing in these cities , examples of tyranny and anarchy simultaneously .
And this is leading to the ultimate end that they want to perpetuate , which is the complete breakdown of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the persistence of racism and policy brutality , which he said God views as evil .
Ellis began her answer by questioning the premise that there is systemic racism in America : Ellis said that she shares protesters ’ outrage about what happened to George Floyd ,  who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer , and compared his murder to the availability of abortion : And she insisted Christianity is the only way to ensure equality : The truth of all of this is that the Christian worldview is the only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is the fact that all humans , regardless of race , gender , age , any of our immutable characteristics , all of us are human beings made in the image of God and as such , have inherent dignity , value , and worth .
We will never genuinely combat racism or any of these constructs in society unless we get to the root of the worldview , which is to make sure that we are approaching this with truth , with biblical truth , and not with all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ podcast , Ellis charged that the “ progressive left ” is a “ domestically grown enemy ” that wants to “ create chaos ” : And for the progressive left , their entire goal for America is transformation .
They don ’ t want a constitutional republic that maintains that ordered liberty , that maintains the freedom and the presumption that our rights are our own .
They want to say , ‘ We will give you privilege , how we define it , ’ and how they define privilege is to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exercise certain freedoms when , where , and how we deem acceptable and permissible.
’ And so , then they will charge all of these loaded terms to divide us , like racism , like identity politics , like all of these different politically charged ideas .
And again , this is why it ’ s so important to see all of this as the whole and understand that they are doing this purposefully to create chaos and to have the breakdown of all of the institutions that are paramount to an ordered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the civil government , and the family .
And so , when they are purposefully taking these terms , and they ’ re redefining them , and they ’ re defining them in a way that ultimately is meaningless , that leads to the breakdown of a moral society , and that ’ s their intent , is the true transformation .
And so , this is what our Founding Fathers talked about when they talked about enemies , both foreign and domestic .
This is a domestically grown enemy , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberty and ordered society .
On Brody ’ s podcast , Ellis claimed that what Thomas Jefferson “ actually meant by separation of church and state ” was that “ civil government doesn ’ t compel you to believe in God , doesn ’ t compel you to attend church—that ’ s part of our liberty and freedom.
” But she said that “ the civil government and the church government are both founded on this understanding that moral truth is objective , and it ’ s part of the universality of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ common experience that is ordained by God , and for his own sovereign purposes he has created the reality that we are privileged to live in.
” Later in the podcast , she declared , “ And so we have to make sure , David , that we aren ’ t participating in this idea of separation of church and state , ” insisting that “ the truth , the fundamental truth and the definition coming from God , our Creator of our rights , of our civil liberties , and of moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ society begins and ends with the Gospel message.
” Brody responded by criticizing what he called “ the social justice folks out there , the left-wing Christians is what they ’ re also called , ” complaining that “ folks on the left ” have turned social justice into the Gospel .
“ They ’ re going to talk about social justice all day , they ’ re going to talk about Jesus and compassion and guess what ?
Great , Jesus was all about compassion .
However , it was not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jesus dying for our sins and giving us a path to Heaven and salvation and to believe in him .
That ’ s the Gospel .
Compassion , social justice , is not the Gospel.
” Brody ’ s rhetoric was reminiscent of that used by Christian fundamentalists who reject and denounce efforts by some church leaders to focus congregational or denominational efforts on social justice , racial injustice , and racial reconciliation .
Some have even called social justice activism “ evil.
” On the Falkirk podcast , Ellis similarly warned against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secular society : So , we have to , as the church and as Christians , we have to make sure that we aren ’ t borrowing from the secular society .
And we ’ re not allowing those ideas to infiltrate our lives and our church , but rather it needs to be the opposite .
The church is the one that is supposed to go into the world and teach the Gospel .
We are the ones that should be defining the narrative , we should be defining the terms we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only true definition of justice , because God himself is the divine lawgiver , and he himself has defined justice .
It ’ s not open for redefinition .
You know what else isn ’ t open for redefinition ?
Basically , everything else—the church , marriage , family , all of this has been defined already by God .
It is not open for redefinition .

Brody asked Ellis about the persistence of racism and policy brutality, which he said God views as evil. Ellis began her answer by questioning the premise that there is systemic racism in America:
Absolutely. And, you know, the question really is, you know, as Joe Biden articulated, you know, ‘We have to combat a systematic racism in America.’ Well, that presumes that we have systematic racism.
Ellis said that she shares protesters’ outrage about what happened to George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer, and compared his murder to the availability of abortion:
I share their outrage at what happened to George Floyd, what happens when there are instances of brutality based on race. That’s the same thing as sexism. It’s the same thing as ageism—you know, as treating the unborn child as not as valuable in dignity and worth as a human being.
And she insisted Christianity is the only way to ensure equality:
The truth of all of this is that the Christian worldview is the only explanation that gets us to genuine equality, which is the fact that all humans, regardless of race, gender, age, any of our immutable characteristics, all of us are human beings made in the image of God and as such, have inherent dignity, value, and worth. … We will never genuinely combat racism or any of these constructs in society unless we get to the root of the worldview, which is to make sure that we are approaching this with truth, with biblical truth, and not with all of these false ideologies.

Jim Hoft , founder of the far-right news blog The Gateway Pundit , called the Federal Bureau of Investigation a “ disgrace ” after it sent a memo warning that white supremacists posed the biggest threat of deadly violence at nationwide protests following a white Minneapolis Police officer killing George Floyd , a black man .

In the accompanying article , Hoft repeatedly attacked the FBI and its director Christopher Wray , whom right-wing activists have publicly and privately pressured Trump to fire over the agency ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Trump ’ s former national security adviser .
Hoft only attacked Wray and the FBI , ignoring the other two agencies involved in the issuance of the bulletin .
“ Despite the mass looting and violence by the left Chris Wray ’ s FBI sent out a memo warning white supremacists pose the greatest risk of violence , ” Hoft wrote .
“ What a disgrace.
” “ Maybe it ’ s time to disband the FBI , ” Hoft stated .
“ It ’ s become a joke.
” The FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of other law enforcement agencies .
Federal investigators have found little evidence to support claims from Trump and his supporters that anti-fascist activists have organized violent action at protests for George Floyd .
That hasn ’ t stopped right-wing media outlets and politicians from circulating dangerous disinformation about the protests , resulting in proliferation of antifa scare hoaxes and the targeting of innocent civilians .
The Daily Beast reported last week the first 22 criminal complaints related to protests charges did not mention anti-fascism in any way .

Jim Hoft, founder of the far-right news blog The Gateway Pundit, called the Federal Bureau of Investigation a “disgrace” after it sent a memo warning that white supremacists posed the biggest threat of deadly violence at nationwide protests following a white Minneapolis Police officer killing George Floyd, a black man.
ABC News reports that the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center issued an intelligence bulletin to local law enforcement warning that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists posed the “greatest threat of lethal violence” at protests across the country. The memo, ABC News reported, “makes only a limited mention of the left-leaning, loosely affiliated antifa movement, and appears to undercut recent criticisms of the movement by President Trump and top administration officials.” Anarchist extremists are mentioned in the memo, however, as the “most significant threat” against police officers and government property.
“WHAT A JOKE,” Hoft’s headline declared.
In the accompanying article, Hoft repeatedly attacked the FBI and its director Christopher Wray, whom right-wing activists have publicly and privately pressured Trump to fire over the agency’s conduct during its investigation into Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser. Hoft only attacked Wray and the FBI, ignoring the other two agencies involved in the issuance of the bulletin.
“Despite the mass looting and violence by the left Chris Wray’s FBI sent out a memo warning white supremacists pose the greatest risk of violence,” Hoft wrote. “What a disgrace.”
“Maybe it’s time to disband the FBI,” Hoft stated. “It’s become a joke.”
The FBI’s findings are consistent with that of other law enforcement agencies. Federal investigators have found little evidence to support claims from Trump and his supporters that anti-fascist activists have organized violent action at protests for George Floyd. That hasn’t stopped right-wing media outlets and politicians from circulating dangerous disinformation about the protests, resulting in proliferation of antifa scare hoaxes and the targeting of innocent civilians. The Daily Beast reported last week the first 22 criminal complaints related to protests charges did not mention anti-fascism in any way.

Progressive Jewish advocacy groups released a statement Thursday condemning right-wing extremist Morton Klein and his pro-Israel group Zionist Organization of America—a source conservatives on Capitol Hill have called on for expertise on white nationalism and hate crimes—for his latest round of bigoted attacks , this time against Black Lives Matter .
In light of protests and calls to action after a white Minneapolis police officer was filmed killing George Floyd , a black man , Klein asserted that Black Lives Matter should be considered a “ hate group ” and retweeted calls for the group to be considered a terrorist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hating , White hating , Israel hating , conservative Black hating , violence promoting , dangerous Soros funded extremist group of haters , ” Klein tweeted on June 6 .
 The joint statement denounces Klein ’ s remarks and states that his comments and track record of bigotry “ should make him unwelcome in any mainstream Jewish communal spaces and should lead to his expulsion from organizational umbrella groups such as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
” Last year , the conference issued its first-ever written warning to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insulting member groups and their leaders .
The statement , authored by J Street , the New Israel Fund , Partners for Progressive Israel , Reconstructing Judaism , The Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association , and T ’ ruah , and co-signed by former National Council of Jewish Women CEO Nancy Kaufman reads : This is far from the first time that Klein has launched vicious attacks against minorities , people of color , Palestinians or his fellow Jews — and we know it will not be the last .
In recent years , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for “ resettling Muslim Jewhaters in America , ” amplified an accusation that George Soros “ helped the Nazi extermination system by identifying Jews ” and slandered President Obama and two Muslim congresswomen as supporters of terrorism .
There is nothing he will not say to malign anyone who dares to criticize Israeli government policy or support Palestinian rights .
There is apparently no limit to the extent that he will go to dehumanize and otherize Muslims , Palestinians and people of color .
Our community , of course , can and must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ variety of views , with plenty of space for strong debate and disagreement .
Yet the fundamental dignity of people of color and the legitimacy of their struggle for equal rights can not be called into question .
The continued presence of Klein and the ZOA in important umbrella groups is an affront to Jews of color and all people of color , and to the overwhelming majority of all American Jews .

Ardent pro-Trump commentator and right-wing conspiracy theorist Bill Mitchell used Friday night’s broadcast of his “YourVoice America” program to insist that systemic racism could not possibly exist in the United States because minorities receive special treatment while white people have to foot the bill.
“Systemic racism is not a bunch of hillbillies with a rebel flag and a pickup truck screaming obscenities at black people on the side of the road,” Mitchell said. “Systemic racism is racism like South Africa used to be, where if you were a black person, you couldn’t own property, you couldn’t do anything, you were being harassed by the government.”
“We don’t have that in America,” Mitchell fumed. “It doesn’t exist. It is a fantasy created by the media. There is no systemic racism in America. As a matter of fact, in America, if you are a minority, you have special scholarships for you. You have special housing programs and special loan programs that you can get. You have better access to food programs and this sort of thing than white folks get. I mean, as a white person, you have no particular privilege at all, except for the privilege of paying the bill of higher taxes.”
