It is Project 2025. Absolutely nothing has changed.
'In the Bible, Ziklag is where the character David lives for a time while he’s being persecuted. That name is now being used by wealthy Christian zealots who intend to steer the election in their favor.'
Ziklag, funded by wealthy donors, wants voter purges and Christian Nationalism
If you're not familiar with the Seven Mountains mandate, please check it out. It comes from the deeply Christian fundamentalist New Apostolic Reformation; the largest religious denomination about which most Americans have never heard. Nationally and internationally, the NAR is second only to Catholicism in sheer numbers. Sarah Palin is - at least was - a very active member of the NAR. She was ‘blessed’ by an NAR cleric when she became governor of Alaska.
The “Seven Mountains” intends for NAR Christian believers to unconditionally dominate the areas of Religion, Family, Education, Entertainment, Media, Government, and Business. It means taking over every church in the nation. It means having complete social and political control over America's government into which it is already deeply embedded. The overturning of Roe v Wade - the only time in American History a constitutional right has been revoked - represents that agenda. It is the long in the making Project 2025.
.
The NAR represents post-Dominionist, or christian reconstructionist, belief. This is the grotesque perception that human ‘believers’ can create conditions on Earth that will bring about the mythical and fictitious Second Coming. That means fire and doom for every non-christian Western belief structure (emphasis on Judaism and Islam).
.
It also includes the very many Christians who don't support the extreme fundamentalism of the NAR. This would not be wholly unlike the Islamofascists of Iran or Afghanistan - it is America’s Christian Taliban. The NAR and Christian fundamentalism are also the special interests behind school vouchers whose only interest in America’s public schools is to dismantle them.
School vouchers as related to so-called ‘school choice,’ is nothing but a front and a scam. ‘School choice’ doesn't have the remotest goal of supporting under resourced schools or struggling students. Instead, it's primary and principal intent is to redistribute money and resources away from public — especially urban public — schools and to (their) private parochial schools.
One thing novel and particularly alarming about the NAR aligned group identified as ‘Ziklag’ is that their primary focus is on dismantling voter registration and voter roles across states. They want to more dramatically reduce access to those voters who are less likely to support their Christian theocratic agenda. Politically, their goals are that of Trump and so-called MAGA.
Even if Trump now briefly starts talking about ‘unity,’ it's just another scam. Absolutely nothing has changed. Trump’s choice of JD Vance as his enforcer is the most clear indication that political violence, an intensified push for Project 2025 and the Seven Mountains continues a primary goal. Vance is the most volatile, least competent and least experienced selection Trump could have made. But, as were his SCOTUS picks, Trump’s choice of Vance was more likely handed to him.
Realize, too, that if something were to happen to Trump, or were the 25th Amendment to be suddenly invoked, Vance could become President.
So-called and self styled Christian Nationalists like MTG and Lauren Boebert are idiot fronts and distractions - very much as is Trump - who only indirectly represents the incredible danger posed by the NAR, Christian Supremacism and the very real goal of a Christofascist theocracy in this nation.
It is the NAR and those closely aligned who represent and drive a hardcore and pervasive Christian theocratic fundamentalist view in this nation. They are also simultaneously doing all they can to engage in extensive election interference.
Not only has nothing changed, but it will likely get a great deal worse as the media and Democratic Party are now even more intimidated by the still curious ‘assassination’ attempt on Trump. On Sunday, Trump was seen golfing without the huge pad on his ear which suddenly appeared when he was anointed on the first day of the RNC convention.
We also don’t know why the Secret Service allowed Trump to stand up without even being covered so he could get in his photo shoot and scream to ‘fight.’ ‘Fight’ who? That Trump was allowed to stand upright as he did also greatly increased the risk of harm to those still sitting behind him. And that we've had no information whatsoever from the hospital who treated Trump is rather unusual..
Nothing has changed
