I can't believe just how STUPID the Freepers are.

They've bought into the big "The Storm" conspiracy theory lock, stock and barrel.

Slacktivist blog at patheos posts about how this revamping of the claim of there being innumerable satanic baby-killers is being marketed to Evangelicals. The mag is widely read, Strang's book about Trump being chosen by god is also, and their frequent appearances on the Jim Bakker show---all encourage Evangelicals' acceptance of the claim.

Even money if they ever DO find "Qanon," he'll be a 13-year old kid who's flunked 6th grade.

It's even simpler----'who cares what T really thinks; he'll give us the judges to criminalize gays and abortions.'

Also Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the Evangelicals' favorite expositor of the OT foreshadowing of US history, has stated HRC, Bill, and T have been replaying the OT story of Jezebel. Thus HRC as Jezebel gives/will give the nation over to the enemies of god, and T as ?Ahiz? saves/will save the nation from her and Bill as Ahab, her ridiculously hen-pecked husband.

For some months before the election Cahn was expounding this thesis which he had set forth in his book The Paradigm ('a NYT bestseller'). He showed Evangelicals that god would save them and America just as he had saved the Jews and Israel. So now all those in Jim Bakker's audience are at peace, knowing that god has saved us all from evil.
