#Theocratic #Mercenary Erik Prince and the #ChristianRight
by Mike Kuhlenbeck • 19 June 2018
"Erik Dean Prince was born in Holland, Michigan, on June 6, 1969, the youngest child and only son of Edgar and Elsa Prince, who also had daughters Betsy, Emilie, and Eileen. As documented by author Suzanne Simons in her 2009 book Master of War: #Blackwater USA’s Erik Prince and the Business of War, Prince grew up in a religious household and attended Christian schools; the Princes were members of the Reformed Church in America, a conservative Christian sect that follows the philosophical template of theologian John Calvin.
"Edgar Prince worked as a die caster and then chief engineer for the die cast machine manufacturing outfit Buss Machine Works after serving in the US Air Force. In 1965 he and two co-workers struck out on their own to establish Prince Manufacturing. By the 1970s the company expanded its operations and became financially successful, as did the Prince family. Edgar Prince died of heart failure in 1995, and the company was sold to Johnson Controls for over $1 billion.
"Surrounded by those who share their belief in Christian-based politics, the Prince family has used its fortune to help build the #ConservativeChristian movement. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and Richard Nixon’s disgraced former special counsel Charles Colson (who became a born-again Christian after serving seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal) were family friends. Edgar and Elsa Prince were major contributors to the Family Research Council and founded the nonprofit Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation in 1979, substantial funds from which have gone toward the effort to abolish the legal wall separating church and state. The Prince family also has deep ties to the Council for National Policy (#CNP) which, according to its vision statement, supports “a united conservative movement to assure, by 2020, policy leadership and governance that restores religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and #JudeoChristian values under the Constitution.”
"From Reverend #BillyGraham’s “spiritual counsel” to twelve US presidents, to Reverend #JerryFalwell’s #MoralMajority movement of the 1970s and ’80s, to Marion Gordon #PatRobertson’s #ChristianCoalition (now the #ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica), the movement to push a #fundamentalist “Judeo-Christian” agenda into the public sphere has been an ongoing crusade. Keeping with family tradition, Erik Prince’s sister Betsy married fellow Christian right figure Dick DeVos, whose father is the founder of Amway and the past president of the CNP from 1990-1993. Betsy DeVos served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party and now serves as US Secretary of Education under Donald Trump. The DeVos dynasty, labelled a “family of extremists” by the Center for American Progress, is undoubtedly having an influence on the Trump White House."

It seems #Israel #Iran have started making the 'slapping' serious...
it was a clash that 'seething' by at least 60 years
and the only thing that had brought it under control
was the 'American's Authority'
> Authority that with #trump it's in the toilet <
it was, therefore, to expect something to happen.
Anyway...
in my opinion, if Israel eliminates the #Fundamentalist Dictatorial Fanatical Iranian Governament ...
they'll do a big favor even to the #Iranian people.
"Eve was Framed" is a former #fundamentalist #Christian. Her story is compelling. Her work is important.
In my first teen journal post, there was a journal entry I included which read, “Why are there nicer non-Christian women than Christian women? Or at least it seems that way to me. If you ask me, something ain’t right.” And instead of expounding upon that, because I kind of felt like it spoke for itself, I added, “There are no notes.” In a way, it does speak for itself, as it was an observation and critique that I was making at the tender age of 15 years. And it was truly a question — I didn’t have the answer then. But after I posted that newsletter, I immediately started thinking about how it wasn’t as simple as it was written. And so, this is my contextual note on that journal entry. Buckle up…

"My #faith was #fundamentalist #Christianity. Here are some of the terrible things it made me do. "
I would say that the term child marriage is not quite accurate - it will mainly be girls who are married there. So young girl marriage would fit better.
How sick in the head parents must be who hand over their little girl to be raped by an adult man.
These are the effects of a religiously fundamentalist society.

"Here, I talk about how I went from #Evangelical #Fundamentalist #Christian to what I'm now calling a #Spiritual #Agnostic #Atheist. We talk about #ChristianNationalism, the problem of suffering in the world, and the lack of empirical evidence for a #creator-being."

This is a short clip from a full episode of The Kayse Melone Show. Here, I talk about why I think #Deconstruction from Evangelical #Fundamentalist Christianity is so important. Also, what happens after we go through Deconstruction?
With many #muslims and #ArabAmericans realizing their support for #trump was in error, now is an opportunity for #socialists and other #leftists to do what #liberals failed to do.
Rather than just assume "well who else would they vote for, the racist #republicans?," recognize that they hold the same #conservative values as your #fundamentalist uncle and that you will need to work on deconstructing those prejudices.
Ever since the erasure of female chest nudity out of the European public domain by US media companies, we knew this erasure of #abortion was coming. It is just the blatant way US companies are exporting their #fundamentalist #christian values that still shocks me.

No wonder Trump has demanded the Bishop of Washington be sacked for her #Trump #inauguration sermon at Washington Cathedral
Speaking truth to power as plainly as Bishop Budde did is never easy and especially brave when faced with the Orange #fascist and his #fundamentalist bigots
But bearing witness, truth-telling and challenge are all acts of #resistence that people of honour will increasingly need to embrace across what used to laughably be known as the “free world” [sic]
"Guys, when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're repealing regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.
They are talking about civil rights."

Jim Bob Duggar is a horrifyingly loathesome human bein', an I'd know since Kilomin wuz raised in the same cult!
There's a documentary called "Shiny Happy People" that exposes them, I highly recommend it. Their hooks are deep in US politics.

Remembering Our Collective Back Story

..."The #American #Christian #fundamentalist version of the #EndTimes has a very powerful influence on American #politics today. Besides a literal belief in the events described in the Book of Revelation, these fundamentalists believe in a doctrine called dispensationalism, formulated by two 19th Century American preachers. This doctrine states that #Israel must exist as "...
To the religious who put the 'mental' in 'fundamentalist':
A martyr sacrifices their person to save others so that they may be judged by God.
So it is hubris and arrogance, not martyrdom, for a suicide bomber to appropriate God's judgement in order to rationalize killing others in His name.
"God: Hmm, I C you killed a lot of ppl in my name; not quite what I had in mind actually, why don't you have another go as a worm." - Marcus Brigstocke
