"Heads Up: Prayer Warriors and Sarah Palin Are Organizing Spiritual Warfare to
Take Over America"
"The New Apostolic Reformation, the largest religious movement you've never
heard of, aims to take control of communities through 'prayer warriors.'"
[
Imagine a religious movement that makes geographic maps of where demons reside
and claims among its adherents the Republican Party's most recent vice
presidential nominee and whose leaders have presided over prayer sessions (one
aimed at putting the kibosh on health-care reform) with a host of leading GOP
figures.
It's a movement whose followers played a significant role in the battle over
Proposition 8, California's anti-same-sex marriage initiative, and Uganda's
infamous proposed Anti-Homosexuality Law, more commonly associated with the
Family, a religious network of elites drawn from the ranks of business and
government throughout the world. But the movement we're imagining encompasses
the humble and the elite alike, supporting a network of "prayer warriors” in all
50 states, within the ranks of the U.S. military, and at the far reaches of the
globe -- all guided by an entire genre of books, texts, videos and other media.
Imagine that, and you've just dreamed up the New Apostolic Reformation, the
largest religious movement you've never heard of.
NAR's videos, according to researcher Rachel Tabachnick, "demonstrate the
taking control of communities and nations through large networks of 'prayer
warriors' whose spiritual warfare is used to expel and destroy the demons that
cause societal ills. Once the territorial demons, witches, and generational
curses are removed, the 'born-again' Christians in the videos take control of
society."

The movement's notion of "spiritual warfare" has spread from the California
suburbs to an East-Coast inner city, and has impacted policy decisions in the
developing world. Movement operatives are well-connected enough to have
testified before Congress and to have received millions of dollars in government
abstinence-only sex-education grants, and bizarre enough to maintain that in its
prototype communities, the movement has healed AIDS, purified polluted streams
and even grown huge vegetables. Leaders in the NAR movement refer to themselves
as "apostles."
In the days leading up to the historic vote on health-care reform in the Senate,
Apostle Lou Engle led the Family Research Council's "Prayercast” against
health-care reform, a Webcast featuring Republican Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.)
and Sam Brownback (Kans.), and Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.). Earlier in the
year, Engle, who leads the group TheCall, prayed over Newt Gingrich at a
Virginia event called Rediscovering God in America. In 2008, Engle, at an event
he staged at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, advocated acts of Christian martyrdom
to end abortion and same-sex marriage. This "apostle" claims LGBT people are
possessed by demons. And Engle is not the only NAR apostle with political
connections.
Presidential campaign watchers got their first taste of the New Apostolic
Reformation when it was revealed that Sarah Palin, while mayor of Wasilla, had
been prayed over in a laying-on-of-hands by Rev. Thomas Muthee of Kenya,
director of the NAR East Africa Spiritual Warfare Network, in a ceremony
designed to protect Palin from witches and demons. Muthee, it turns out, is
famous in his native land for driving out of town a woman he deemed a witch, a
charge that had her neighbors calling for her stoning.
Palin, according to Alaskan Apostle Mary Glazier, became part of her prayer
network at the age of 24. Wasilla is no stranger to wandering NAR leaders. Last
June, Apostle Lance Wallnau stopped through in the course of his world travels,
promoting the movement's Reclaiming the Seven Mountains of Culture campaign at
Wasilla Alaska Assembly of God Church -- the very church at which Muthee laid
hands on Palin. (The "seven mountains" are the realms of business, government,
media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion.) Other NAR
luminaries dropping by Wasilla last year include leading international Apostles
Naomi Dowdy and Dutch Sheets.
.....
In 2006, former Senator Rick Santorum, R-Penn., who appears to be positioning
himself for a run at the presidency, took the stage with Apostle Alistair Petrie
at a NAR "Transformation Summit" in Ephrata, Pennsylvania.
....
BB: Where does Sarah Palin fit into all this?
RT: The movement made early inroads in Alaska through an ICA apostle named Mary
Glazier, who claims that a 24-year-old Palin joined her spiritual warfare
network. These communication networks allow apostles to disseminate new prophecy
to their "prayer warriors." During the presidential election this included
prophecies about Palin, including one in which Glazier described a vision that
Palin would take the "mantle" of leadership after a period of national mourning,
apparently following John McCain's demise.
The first Transformation film so impressed pastors in Wasilla, Alaska, that they
contacted some of the religious leaders featured in the movie including Thomas
Muthee, who was shown driving a witch out of Kiambu, Kenya. Wasilla Assembly of
God developed an ongoing relationship with Muthee and a 2005 church video shows
him anointing Palin. Unfortunately the press picked up on the witch part of the
story, and not the more important fact that Palin has ties to top leaders of the
New Apostolic Reformation.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - George

The conservative Texans are fixing the problem.
They are altering history.
Jefferson did not exist.

"The Texas twist: textbooks unfit for consumption"
[
Texas Gov. Rick Perry knew what he was doing when he declared with a straight
face that he might lead a Lone Star State movement to secede from the rest of
the United States and go it alone because of Washington policies. Such brash,
wacky talk helped him beat the far more moderate, even-keeled Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison in the GOP primary.
Perry offered more big talk, which Texans relish. Yet, it's not big talk, but
lunacy that's happening over at the state's Board of Education. The 10-member
majority consists of unabashed far-out conservatives who are vowing to help
create a new national group-think tilted toward their politics by approving
social studies textbooks they deem historically correct and ideologically pure.
The five-member minority's opposition has been futile.
Don't scoff. As the largest state buyer of school textbooks, Texas, in effect,
forces publishers to adopt the Lone Star versions that are also sold in other
states.
So, reasons the Texas education board, if other states teach young people what
Texans believe about American history, in a generation or so the adult mindset
will be canted toward conservatism.
Not all Texans are sanguine about this attempt to twist, rewrite and blur
history.
Dallas Morning News columnist Jacquielynn Floyd, among others, writes that "this
whacked-out troop of under qualified ideologues ... embarrass us, humiliate us,
make us look like a bunch of goobers."
A list of inclusions and omissions as well as twisted history suggests the board
is unapologetically racist, revisionist and obsessed by what they consider
"liberal."
The board eliminated listing eight Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) who died alongside
Davey Crockett at the Alamo 174 years ago. It de-emphasized Thomas Jefferson and
ordered more history about Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
The board also included data suggesting it agreed with Sen. Joe McCarthy's
allegations that the U.S. State Department was crawling with communists in the
1950s (never proven by McCarthy).
Hip-hop, mostly a black phenomenon, also was rejected for inclusion in the
textbooks as an influence on culture.
The board majority also rejected requirements that teachers and textbooks cover
the late Sen. Edward Kennedy and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, but
increased textbook attention to President Ronald Reagan. The board has until May
to change its mind. Not likely.

"Anything But Straight: Texas Fool Board"
[
Last week, the Texas Board of Education voted 10-5, along party lines, to
replace history textbooks with right wing political propaganda. The vote
followed a separate, contentious scrum over whether creationism should be taught
in science courses.
Would it not have been easier to have simply jettisoned all textbooks and
replaced them with episodes of Glenn Beck and Pat Robertson's 700 Club on a
continuous loop during school hours?
In defending his bid to jam creationism into the school science curriculum and
rewrite history, ultra-conservative board member, Dr. Don McLeroy, said,
"Somebody's gotta stand up to experts."
....
Of course, many fundamentalists have long disdained experts, such as historians,
because they have a tendency to reveal men like McLeroy to be agenda-driven
amateurs. The extremism of the Texas School Board is evident by the guidelines
they voted for.
For example, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, the Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly
and the National Rifle Association have replaced Thomas Jefferson. This is in a
despicable effort to marginalize the man who coined the phrase, "separation of
church and state", while elevating America as a right wing "Christian Nation."
(Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were also eliminated to make room for these
conservatives)
Newt Gingrich's flash-in-the-pan Contract with America and Rev. Jerry Falwell's
short-lived Moral Majority are elevated as historically important, while the
supposed religious roots of the American Revolution will be now be studied.
"I reject the notion by the left of a constitutional separation of church and
state," David Bradley, a conservative school board member from Beaumont, told
The New York Times.
Social conservatives have created an entire industry to twist our nation's
history.
....
The bloc of seven fundamentalists on the Texas Board of Education doesn't really
care about public education. In fact, several members either home school their
children or send them to private schools.

"Palin On Pledge Of Allegiance: "If It Was Good Enough For The Founding
Fathers, It's Good Enough For Me""
[
In a 2006 questionnaire for Alaska's gubernatorial race, vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin seemed to muddle her American history.
Question: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of
Allegiance? Why or why not?
Palin: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its
good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.
The pledge, of course, was not written until 1892 and the words "under God" were
not added until the 1950s.
...

It's good that she likes it though. It was written by a famous Socialist.
Eisenhower kind of made it a bit more official in 1954 for the new "Flag Day".
Have to love how wingers know US history.
Once they get rid of Thomas Jefferson & Democracy ... as Texas
is doing.

"I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the
unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them," Grayson said. His
campaign added that "[s]cientists are studying Sarah Palin's travel between
Alaska and Florida carefully. They hope to learn more about the flight patterns
