Trump sponsors New Apostoic Reformation pro-theocracy "Rededicate 250" event on DC's Mall

On Sunday the 17th of May, a huge crowd of Christian nationalists, other fundamentalists packed onto DC's National Mall for what was billed as an all-day prayer vigil. It was reportedly organized directly or indirectly by the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and sponsored by Trump. Trump himself was playing golf, no doubt considering all this Christian extremist shit too boring to pull him away from his golf game. Still, this amounts to an official endorsement from the Office of the President for the NAR.

US House speaker Mike Johnson claimed the event "transcends politics" but the speakers were reported by a Reddit poster to not surprisingly be hardcore "MAGA Christians."

Remember that NAR promotes the totalitarian "Seven Mountains Mandate" concept that religion should dominate and control family, religion, education, media, arts/entertainment, business, and of course government.

A Matthew D. Taylor said on Substack (not linking to Substack due to Nazi issues) that Rededicate 250 was the NAR's "Crowning achievement" to date.

The billionaires behind the larger theocratic push in the US tend to fund and follow the NAR, which itself is a extremist offshoot of the Pentacostals. Some other churches notably the Catholics have called them out as "heretical" and inauthentic as they push the concept that people alive today can become apostles.

As I was nowhere near this mess, I have no idea if most of the attendees of the march were even aware that the NAR was the muscle behind this march. Lots of other fundamentalists however are chugging the Kool-Aid NAR is pouring at least so far as politics is concerned.

The Southern Poverty Law Center once called NAR: "he greatest threat to American democracy that most people have never heard of," as much of the work is pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Despite doctrinal differences deemed toxic by may old-style Baptists and similar fundamentalists, the powerful Southern Baptist Convention has endorsed the NAR on at least one occasion.

The video was liberated from an extreme-right Twitter poster, shortened to remove a Christian propaganda clip, and cropped down to cut out a racist logo. It is valuble intel, and shows how many people still support Trump and want an all-white theocratic successor state to the former US nominal democracy.

Thousands gathered in Washington for an America-themed prayer rally

Thousands of people have streamed onto the National Mall in Washington for a daylong prayer rally. The event Sunday is billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation under God.” President Donald Trump read a passage of Scripture in a video shown at the rally, the same footage used in a Bible-reading event last month. Most speakers celebrated Christianity’s ties to American history. It's a blending of ideas that critics flagged in advance of the prayer gathering as supporting Christian nationalism. The event was organized by a public-private partnership backed by the White House. Congressional Democrats see it as a Trump-controlled end run around a commission charted by Congress a decade ago to prepare 250th anniversary events.
