If you want to understand the current situation with Christian fanatics in the military you must watch this video. If there is a Coup 2.0 attempt before the end of August, they will play a key role.
Christian fundamentalist nationalists in the senior ranks of the military, see Trump as an instrument of God’s plan to create an authoritarian Christian state. The military allows active proselytizing and recruitment of soldiers, contrary to the constitutional separation of church and state. Many of these officers and soldiers were involved in the events leading up to and on Jan 6th, which has been described as an attempted coup.

The problem is much bigger than most people realize.

Let me give you a statistic. I’m going to be off by a few little numbers, but Hitler only had 7.9%, actually, of the German populace in his national socialist movement. Stalin had something like 2.8%. With our analysis, we believe that the number of Christian nationalists, fundamentalist Christian nationalists or what are known as dominionists, you can Google Christian Dominionism, in the military is somewhere between 28 – 34%.

Mikey Weinstein
I told people all along about the distraction of the Three Percenters, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys. These are hooligan idiots. But when you look at a four star general, come on. Flynn was what, three stars? He has a brother that I think just got promoted to four stars. This man ran one of our seventeen national security agencies, all of which in unison determined that Vladimir Putin and Russia significantly helped and aided illegally Trump to win in 2016. It’s one thing to sit down and say, “I don’t think Biden was legitimately elected in the largest and most secure election in American history.” There’s nothing to show that whatsoever. But to show that Putin and his Russia significantly invaded our election system in 2016, all 17 of our national security agencies support that. We have hundreds of clients in the National Security Agency. I’ve had them reach out to me saying, “don’t stop what you’re doing.” When Pompeo was CIA head, we had CIA people come to us saying “help us, help us.” That involved “here’s what he’s doing. Here’s what he’s saying regarding Jesus.” That got into his confirmation hearing. We can send you a clip on when he was asked by a female senator about what Mikey Weinstein of MRFF said. He said “I don’t know what you are talking about. I have no idea.” The worst of the fundamentalist Christian para-church organizations out there, very few people have heard of. It’s called C Street, as in Washington, DC, a.k.a. the family, a.k.a. the Fellowship. Pompeo, Betsy DeVos, certainly Mike Pence, and many others were involved.
August is still ahead. Hopefully nothing will happen but tRump still has a chance to become the Antichrist.
BTW, Jay Paul did authorize me to publish the video in this diary.
