Interesting piece Patrice, I’ve been following this topic for years, and you’ve made excellent points and suggestions to fight these wastrels! The Opus Dei and New Apostolic Reformation cultists are a couple of others worth noting. Thanks for sharing, Sla’inte!!
Opus Dei is especially disturbing to me as a Catholic. I hope Pope Leo sees through this and does not condone it. I’ve always considered the Bible Belt thumpers to be fringe and cringe with their fake promises and collection plates. It is a failing that our nation has let people become so broken that they search for validation from the snake oil salesmen and hucksters. We were too complacent sitting in our Lazy Boys with the 60” technicolor opiod filling our brains while real life struggled outside the door. If nothing else, the massive marches are giving voices a chance to be heard, neighbor to neighbor. While we are marching and chanting and talking and listening in real life we are unplugged from the poisonous drip. Viva La Compagnie!
All of them are evil, odious cult creatures, sans souls or empathy Patricia. The latest founders of these cults twist biblical words into insane truths that suit their agendas, Colour me disgusted!!
Absolutely agree—and thank you for raising this. The more united the Christian community is in standing against Christian nationalism, the harder it becomes for extremists to hijack the faith for political power. A clear, public, and collective denunciation from diverse denominations could help reclaim the moral narrative and draw a firm line between faith and theocracy. Appreciate your commitment to this fight—it matters.
Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
Jarno, This reads like a fevered prophecy—but buried beneath the apocalyptic tone is a sharp intuition: Trump’s moves aren’t random chaos; they’re patterned destruction. The tariff wall isn’t about economics—it’s about severing America from global influence to consolidate power internally.
The shift to cashless systems and biometric surveillance won’t be sold as tyranny—it’ll be packaged as “efficiency,” “safety,” and “freedom from fraud.”
War with Iran won’t just be a distraction—it’ll be a loyalty test. A crucible. Those who don’t cheer will be labeled traitors. Those who do will be rewarded with illusion.
The real question isn’t what the beast will do—it’s how many will beg him to do it.
It’s easy to dismiss these people as simply crackpots and loons; they are, but they also have a seat at the table of power. In addition to your fine work, I also recommend For Such a Time as This by Andra Watkins who gives excellent explanations from one who grew up in a CN household, but broke free.
As a Christian, I believe that Jesus will return to rapture his Church.
Yet, it saddens me that there are a lot of Christians who are in a hurry for God to bring all of His prophecies to pass. Is it not better to let God Himself determine the perfect time to come back?
From the Puritans to the CN’s there’s a desire to legislate ethics —and you can’t legislate ethics with hundreds of laws. First the quasi-Christians or Christian Nationalists must obey their own Gospels. It appears that the Trump-Vance-Joel Osteen prosperity gospel is all they can do. Forget the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments. I’ve never seen so many hypocrites processing everyone else is dirt and unworthy of the white American dream.
Exactly, Diane. The irony is that they weaponize scripture to judge others while ignoring its core teachings themselves. You can’t legislate morality from the top down when your own foundation is greed, grievance, and self-worship. Christian nationalism isn’t about faith—it’s about power dressed in piety.
Thank you, Annie. I really appreciate your message. Jeff Sharlet has been sounding the alarm for years, and I’m glad more people are finally connecting the dots. What concerns me most now isn’t just the beliefs—it’s how quickly they’ve moved from the fringe into the mainstream. This isn’t just a warning anymore; it’s a reality. I’m grateful to be in this with thoughtful readers like you. Take good care.
Can I say, power hungry idiots? Why do they think their beliefs trump all other religious beliefs? I'm so confused,,, there so many versions of Christianity.
I think my father was or became an adherent (he's long dead so I can't ask). I remember reading Revelations and being terrified.
there will always be "wars and rumors of wars" and there will always be "leaders" who co-opt religion for for their own power but this regime checks every single box for the AntiChrist.
the AntiChrist is not one monolithic figure however, but perhaps the modern equivalent of the Hydra from Greek mythology or the demon King Ravana from the Ramayana or another demon from Vedic mythology which sprouted more demons from blood reaching the ground if one head was cut off.
that last demon was finally defeated when the male gods petitioned the goddess Durga to enter the fight, the goddess Kali emerged from her to lap up the blood before it reached the ground and it thus was female divine energy which defeated the demon.
Thanks for sharing this—it’s powerful to hear how your father’s beliefs shaped what you saw and felt, especially through something as intense as Revelation. And the idea that it was female divine energy that finally ended the threat? That feels both timely and hopeful.
This isn’t just politics—it’s a theocratic power grab fueled by a dangerous preoccupation with eschatology. When national policy is shaped by end-times prophecy, democracy becomes collateral damage.
So, what to do? Call it what it is. Support real journalism, vote to defend pluralism, and resist the fusion of faith and state. Silence is consent.
Each one of us has been blessed with free will. How we choose to behave is not a given. The future is uncertain because of individual freedom of choice. I choose to try to make the world better place, to have empathy for others, to sacrifice … when one gives in to the idea of “prophecy” they give up their own agency and can be tempted to tear down creation rather than build it up. A prophecy is not a given, but merely a vague statement of possibility by some sketchy person translated through the eons. To willfully want destruction is counter to our Creator’s love of his creation. Death and destruction is not the way of the Creator. We should all be consumed with making our world a better place for one another. Then when we are held to account as good and faithful servants we can return our gifts multiplied. Destroying the world is a disgrace.
Chris… You’re right to focus on agency. What’s dangerous isn’t just the belief in prophecy—it’s how that belief can be weaponized by those seeking power. When people convince themselves that destruction is divinely ordained, they stop asking whether it’s morally right. That’s not faith—it’s fatalism disguised as virtue.
I read your pieces of thought and am returned to a world that I find both forbidding and also hopeful. That eugenics and white supremacy are foundational to this? No surprise. It is the concept of human plans. Not for every being, but certainly for those who see themselves as the Masters of the Universe. What is hopeful is that when a destruction of this is over? A new world can begin to form. We have (I hope) arrived at a turning point.
Thank you for this powerful reflection, J.J. You're absolutely right—none of this should surprise us. The roots run deep, and those who see themselves as ordained to rule have long clung to ideologies like eugenics and white supremacy to justify their grip on power. But your hope is not misplaced. The myth of inevitability is cracking. And with every revelation, every act of resistance, every refusal to bow, we clear space for something better. A turning point is only real if we turn. Let’s make sure we do.

NO PLACE TO RUN TO, NO PLACE TO HIDE!!! I am sick of this insanity, this faux Christianity and their hate and extremism!!!
We need to get all Christian denominations we can recruit to denounce Christian nationalism.
Absolutely agree—and thank you for raising this.

Thank you for the links. Looking for a way to get involved locally.

Exactly!
Looks like the handmaids tale comes to life
Really!
God speaking through Trump is such a ridiculous lie!
Excellent piece! Written so well. It had to break your heart. Thank you for your bravery.
Been watching this for a long time. Jeff Charlet is an expert author.
Please take good care everyone.

we are stronger together and we outnumber them.

Not to mention that "The number of the beast" is actually an anti-Roman protest slogan.
666 is all the Roman numerals in order:
DCLXVI
Christianity was founded as an anti-Roman movement.

This is an amazing comment, spiritually savvy and reflecting of true Christianity as it was originally designed to be! Thank you, Chris.
