    theres a podcast called behind the bastards and they have been doing a series called behind the insurrection. theres a two-parter on hitlers munich beer hall putsch. its disturbing to listen to and theres definitely a warning there for us.

    the nazis blamed all the violence on the left (sound familiar?). all those involved basically got a slap on the wrist. hitler was charged with high treason and only served 9 months in a country club "prison". people didnt take them seriously and they were all emboldened.

    one lesson that should be clear is that people who commit treason and insurrection against their country should be held accountable.

    all successful coups started out as failed coups.

    All very accurate, but the people who need to really read some history are the same people who find a gentle mask to be too much trouble, never mind growing a spine and standing up to the Trumps and Cruzs of their party. We're going to have big problems for a long time.

    Sarah Posner/Reveal:

    How the Christian right helped foment insurrection

    Christian-right activists inside and outside of government promoted the election fraud lie and claimed God told them to “let the church roar.”

    White evangelicals have been Trump’s most dedicated, unwavering base, standing by him through the cavalcade of abuses, failures and scandals that engulfed his campaigns and his presidency – from the “Access Hollywood” tape to his first impeachment to his efforts to overturn the election and incite the Capitol insurrection. This fervent relationship, which has survived the events of Jan. 6, is based on far more than a transactional handshake over judicial appointments and a crackdown on abortion and LGBTQ rights. Trump’s White evangelical base has come to believe that God anointed him and that Trump’s placement of Christian-right ideologues in critical positions at federal agencies and in federal courts was the fulfillment of a long-sought goal of restoring the United States as a Christian nation. Throughout Trump’s presidency, his political appointees implemented policies that stripped away reproductive and LGBTQ rights and tore down the separation of church and state in the name of protecting unfettered religious freedom for conservative Christians. After Joe Biden won the presidency, Trump administration loyalists launched their own Christian organization to “stop the steal,” in the ultimate act of loyalty to their divine leader.

    False Christian Prophets that Christians must follow the Bible's strict instructions in dealing with:



    On that's right, SCWs don't actually read the Bible (or the Constitution). They just know inherently what should be there.

    If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them”, you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion (Heb: sara) against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn (Heb: nadah) you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you (Dt 13:1-5).

    Self-labels such as "Oath Keepers" shows how much these people suffer from delusions of grandeur.

    Kind of shocking that a special counsel has not yet been appointed to investigate and prosecute a conspiracy. Centralize the FBI’s investigation and the intelligence.
