GOP's Religion

#1

Post by Lani »

The GOP is the favorite of the evangelicals, and it's working hard reinterpret the Constitution and destroying laws that provide equality for people of color, gender equality, and different or no religions.

Now we know that another hard right religion is having an impact on our rights.

Shinzo Abe’s Assassin Succeeds in Twisted Plot to Expose Japan’s Deep Ties with ‘Cult’

:snippity:

Before shooting Abe, he wrote a letter to a freelance journalist—obtained by The Daily Beast—explaining that he murdered Abe in order to expose the deep links between Japan’s ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), and the Unification Church.

The Unification Church under various names and guises has not only cultivated strong ties with Japanese politicians, especially the Liberal Democratic Party, but has also managed to forge tight connections to the Republican Party in the U.S., links intensified under President Donald Trump.

One of the sons of Reverend Moon, Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon, created a splinter group, Rod of Iron Ministries, that worships with AR-15s and virulently supports Trump. Sean Moon and congregation members were not only allegedly present at the Jan. 6 insurrection but are seemingly connected to some MAGA megastars. Steve Bannon called into the group’s Freedom Festival last October.

BTW Rod of Iron Ministries - the Rod of Iron is a military rifle.

I remember seeing video of a Rod of Iron service before, it was really freaky.

OGLAF requires you to certify (under internet oath) that you are at least 18 years old to view their content which is often on the very unsafe side of NSFW.

However, THIS episode is quite SFW, unless perhaps your work is the Spanish GQP Inquisition.

Just don't go to previous editions.

Unless you like to laugh at dirty jokes.
