Like, Dominionists taking over the US gov't. Odd that Republicans have been screeching for years about "Sharia Law" and they may be trying to install it here themselves. Read this thread.

(10,602 posts)Almost the entire Cabinet is tainted with radical Christianity if you look at it closely. Secular government will be under attack like never before. And they plan to force their version of Christianity on the rest of us.

From a 2009 article in The Economist.
"Now two former employees are accussing Erik Prince (pictured), Blackwater's boss, of wanting to start a religious crusade against Muslims. In an affidavit lodged with a court in Virginia, one of the witnesses said that Mr Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe." The statement continues"

Blackwater boss Erik Prince helped hack the election for Trump
Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince recently got back in the news when it emerged that hes serving as an informal adviser to Trump. Thats not the only time hes offered his services to the Donald. He played a key role in a conspiracy by rogue FBI agents to throw the election to Trump.
Late last night, HuffPo columnist Seth Abramson discovered that Prince gave a rather interesting interview to Breitbart News Daily on November 4less than 24 hours before Comey announced there was no there there in the new emails. Prince claimed that the FBIs hand was forced by hopping mad NYPD detectives investigating Anthony Weiner. Supposedly, they found State Department emails and evidence of a trove of criminal activity involving the Clintons and other prominent Democrats. Click over to my piece at Liberal America to hear itbut be sure youre sitting down. After all, this is Breitbartor rather, Trumpbartwere talking about.
According to this narrative the NYPD gave the FBI an ultimatumreopen the investigation, or we will hold a press conference to announce a ton of arrests. Supposedly, this pushed the FBI off their chairs, prompting Comeys now-infamous letter.
Two big problems. First, we know that the warrant contained no such thing. Rather, its sole probable cause was a possible email exchange between Hillary and Huma Abedin. On that basis, a number of legal experts have condemned it as hackery at best and a Fourth Amendment violation at worst.
More seriously, Prince openly admitted that he knew about the emails before Comey did. For those of you keeping score, that makes THREE close confidants to Trump who knew about the emails in the three weeks between when they were found and when Comey was finally notified. The other two? Rudy Giuliani and Jim Kallstrom, both of whom were in contact with active agents during the investigation.
