Q Sent Me - the conspiracy theory's body count

 

Qanon isn't military intelligence.

It's not an authentic, grass-roots movement to combat evil pedophile rings & "save children".

It's a LARP, a disinformation psy-op, with links to pornography, on-line misogyny, neo-Naziism, hacking, collective meme-trolling & data-mining.

It was then weaponized & amplified by hostile state-sponsored troll farms (based in Russia, China, Iran, Romania etc) to further disorientate populations, sow chaos & division and undermine western democracies.

In un-tethering susceptible people from reality, it has caused great harm to those whose grip on reality was perhaps already tenuous, & whose mental health was already fragile.

If you actually care about combating porn, child sexual abuse, sex trafficking, please get your information from these reputable organizations, with verifiable fact, data & evidence.

Swarming disinformation across the internet, helping troll farms do their evil work, does NOT help these organizations or help save & rescue victims, Quite the opposite - it deflects from the crimes of real perpetrators & distracts from real work combating these nefarious individuals & groups.

It is vital to understand that all such organizations confirm that these hideous crimes occur across the political spectrum and are perpetrated by people from all walks of life.

The common denominator is not left wing politics, or right-wing politics - despite extremists hi-jacking the issue as leverage for their particular political agendas.

The common denominator is nearly always misogyny.

Here is a list of Qanon followers, believers, & influencers, whose journey down the rabbit hole of disinformation & conspiracy theories did *not* "save" any children ... but instead, put innocent people in the way of actual, real-world harm.

It's quite a body count. 

2017:

Edgar Maddison Welch - arrested at Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant because he believed the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory. There was no basement. There were no trafficked children.

2018: 

Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer - leader of a veteran's group in Arizona, in May 2018 claimed he'd uncovered a child sex trafficking ring at a cement works in Tucson. Occupied the site for 9 days, arrested for trespass. Insisted that the homeless squatters camp there was really child traffickers.

Matthew Philip Wright - Nevada man tried to block traffic at the Hoover Dam in June 2018, demanded "inspector general's report" on "Hillary's email" which Qanon followers had discussed on line. He fled, & was arrested in Arizona, in possession of a variety of weapons. Pleaded guilty to terrorism offences.

William Gregory Douglas - Oregon man arrested in September 2018 for threatening to shoot YouTube employees for placing restrictions on his Qanon-promoting account.

2019:

Buckey Wolfe - 26 year old Qanon-er & Proud Boy, murdered his brother in January 2019, stabbing him with a sword. He believed his brother was a "lizard person" (another Qanon trope).

Ryan Jaselskis - a 22 year old who was seen on surveillance footage after an arson attack at Comet Ping Pong restaurant (again) because he'd been consuming Pizzagate/Qanon conspiracy theory material on-line. In February 2019, he was arrested after a brawl with police outside the Washington Monument. 

Anthony Comello - believed he had the "full support & protection of President Trump" when he gunned down mob boss Frank Kali in March 2019. Appeared in court with "Q" written on his hand.

Timothy Larson - a Qanon supporter who was arrested in September 2019 after smashing up a church he believed was engaged in human trafficking.

2020:

Cynthia Abcug - Colorado woman arrested in January 2020 in kidnap plot of her son, with the help of other Qanon-ers, because she believed her son's foster family were "evil Satan worshippers".

Neely Blanchard / Neely Petrie-Blanchard - Kentucky woman & "Qanon Mom" kidnapped her daughters from their grandmother's legal custody in March 2020. Less than a year later in January 2021, Petrie-Blanchard was arrested for the murder of "fringe legal theorist" Chris Hallet, who had been helping her in her fight to gain access to her children, but she believed he was working against her.

Jessica Prim - Qanon-er from Illinois, arrested in April 2020, in possession of 18 illegal knives. Felt Donald Trump was talking to her personally to tell her to "take out" Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton & John Podesta. Believed the Qanon conspiracy theory that the USS hospital ship Comfort was rescuing "mole children" from the "cabal".

Eduardo Moreno - train engineer who intentionally ran a rain off a track at full speed near the hospital ship USNS Mercy in Los Angeles in April 2020, because he believed the Qanon conspiracy theory that hospital ships used in the Covid response were actually being used in child trafficking.

Alpalus Slyman - Boston man led police on a 30 km car chase in June 2020, with his 5 children in the car, while live-streaming about Qanon & begging Trump to "come & save us" because the police were "coming to abduct the children". Hi terrified wife hurled herself out of the van & police were able to stop the van safely & arrest Slyman.

Corey Hurren - rammed a truck into the Prime Minister's residence in Ottawa, Canada, in July 2020, after posting on social media about following "Q" and the "White Rabbit" down the rabbit hole (Elon Musk also posted about "follow the (white rabbit icon)", in 2022).

Cecilia Fulbright - rammed a van while DUI in August 2020, because after becoming immersed in Qanon content, she believed the driver of the van she rammed was a paedophile, and she was "rescuing" an abducted girl. The vehicle was a catering van & the girl in question was the driver's daughter. Fulbright remained convinced, after her arrest, that Trump was "literally taking down the cabal & the pedophile ring".

Misinformation about wildfires - As wildfires spread across large parts of the Western U.S. in September 2020, false rumors spread on social media that "Antifa" activists were setting fires and preparing to loot property that was being evacuated. Some residents refused to evacuate based on the rumors, choosing to defend their homes from the supposed invasion. Authorities pleaded with residents to ignore the false rumors. A firefighters' union in Washington state described Facebook as "an absolute cesspool of misinformation" on the topic. QAnon followers participated in the misinformation, with one false claim that six Antifa activists had been arrested for setting fires amplified by Q specifically.

Emily Jolley - Qanon-er from Utah, arrested in Oregon in October 2020, for snatching her son from his fther's custody during a supervised visit. Claimed on social media that child protective services ran adrenochrome harvesting (a Qanon trope).

2021:

Matthew Taylor Coleman - 40 year old Californian & family man who ran a surf company, began consuming Qanon & "Illuminati" conspiracy theories on line. In August 2021, he drove his two young children to Mexico, murdered them because they had "serpent DNA" from their mother.

Melissa Rein Lively

Attack on the U.S. Capitol - Various QAnon-affiliated protesters participated in the storming of the United States Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Rioters were either seen wearing clothing with Q-related emblems or identified as QAnon followers from video footage.

Ashli Babbitt - a rioter who was shot dead by police on January 6, 2021, as she was trying to get into the Speaker's Lobby, was an adherent of QAnon. On the day of the attack, she had retweeted a message from conspiracy theory attorney L. Lin Wood which called for the immediate resignation of Mike Pence.

Rosanne Boyland

Interruption of Ghislaine Maxwell court hearing - On January 19, 2021, a hearing on the unsealing of documents related to a settled Ghislaine Maxwell civil defamation suit with Virginia Roberts Giuffre was interrupted after it was discovered that someone present was unlawfully streaming the proceedings on YouTube. The unauthorized stream reached approximately 14,000 viewers, including a contingent of QAnon supporters, before it was shut off after the judge warned the room.

Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann case:

Rémy Daillet-Wiedemann, a French far-right conspiracy theorist living in Malaysia, adapted QAnon theories for a French audience and published online videos in which he called for an overthrow of the French government. In June 2021, he was expelled from Malaysia, deported back to France and put under arrest for his involvement in the kidnapping of a child who had been removed from the care of her conspiracy theorist mother. Daillet-Wiedemann had helped coordinate the abduction from Malaysia.

In October 2021, Daillet-Wiedemann was charged with running a terrorist organization after it emerged that he and his Internet followers - who included members of a neo-Nazi group - had been seriously planning to carry the coup he advocated against the French government. Several associates of Daillet-Wiedemann were also arrested.[107][108] Besides the coup attempt, the group had planned other violent actions, including attacks against COVID-19 vaccination centers, masonic lodges, public figures and 5G antennas.[109] In March 2022, seven other people were interrogated by the police for their involvement in Daillet-Wiedemann's network

Death threats against Canadian healthcare workers

Romana Didulo, a QAnon-affiliated, Philippines-born conspiracy theorist residing in British Columbia and styling herself as the "Queen of Canada", built an online following in the course of 2021 and caused her community to harass Canadian businesses, governments and police forces with hundreds of "cease and desist" notices demanding that they stop their activities related to combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Didulo eventually called on her 73,000 Telegram followers to "shoot to kill" all healthcare workers administering COVID-19 vaccines.

 

2022:

National Butterfly Center - After a QAnon-related conspiracy theory spread on social media that the National Butterfly Center was smuggling immigrants into the US, in late January 2022 two people visited the center referring to "the rafts with the illegal crossing" and to child rape, then reportedly injured the director, Marianna Trevino Wright, and almost struck her son with their vehicle. In response, the center closed for three days the following weekend as a precaution during the We Stand America rally nearby, and announced on February 3, 2022, that it would be closed indefinitely for "the safety of our staff and visitors". (This is a REAL incident of something being "cancelled").

Freedom Convoy - The Freedom Convoy 2022 (French: Convoi de la Liberté) was a protest in Canada against COVID-19 vaccine requirements for truckers to re-enter the country by land introduced by the Government of Canada on January 15, 2022.The trucking convoys were then joined by pedestrian protesters. One of the lead organizers of the convoy, James Bauder, has previously stated support for QAnon, endorsed conspiracy theories around the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and called for the arrest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for alleged treason. On February 3, 2022, Romana Didulo, who calls herself the "Queen of Canada" (she's from The Philippines), joined the convoy with supporters.

One of the lead organizers of the convoy, James Bauder, has previously stated support for QAnon, endorsed conspiracy theories around the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and called for the arrest of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for alleged treason.[117] On February 3, 2022, Romana Didulo joined the convoy with supporters

Break-in at a Tokyo vaccination center - A Japanese QAnon-affiliated group called YamatoQ waged an online disinformation campaign against the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Japan, claiming that the coronavirus did not exist and that vaccinations were part of a plan to decrease the population through the administration of harmful substances. On April 7, 2022, twelve members of YamatoQ trespassed into a Shibuya health care clinic that provided COVID-19 vaccine shots; four of them were immediately arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.

Attempted "arrest" of Peterborough police officers - On August 10 2022, Romana Didulo called on her Telegram followers to "arrest" the police forces of Peterborough, Ontario for enforcing COVID-19 restrictions. Three days later, about 40 of Didulo's followers demonstrated in front of the Peterborough Police station and, after listening to a speech from Didulo, attempted to perform a citizen's arrest of the police officers, whom they accused of "COVID crimes". They were not allowed to enter the police station. Six of the demonstrators ended up being arrested; two of them were charged with assaulting a police officer.

Walled Lake family shooting - On September 11, 2022, a QAnon adherent named Igor Lanis shot his wife, one of his two daughters and the family dog following a heated argument. The other daughter, Rebecca Lanis, was out of the house at the time and was not harmed. She told reporters that her father had once been kind but had become rude and unsociable after becoming obsessed with several QAnon-related conspiracy theories following the 2020 presidential election

Attack on Paul Pelosi - On October 28 2022, Paul Pelosi, husband of Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was assaulted at his home and beaten with a hammer by a man. The suspect, David DePape, operated a blog that featured QAnon content among other conspiracy theories.

German coup d'état plot - On December 7, 2022, police in Germany arrested 25 people for allegedly plotting an overthrow of the German government. Part of the alleged plot included planning to storm the Reichstag building. At least 50 people are alleged to be a part of the group, which included QAnon adherents as well as people involved with the Reichsbürger movement.

2023:

QAnon: a timeline of violence linked to the conspiracy theory

"In the past two years, kidnappings, car chases and a murder appear to have been fueled by belief in a fictional narrative

The QAnon conspiracy theory has been linked to several violent acts since 2018, with QAnon supporters arrested for threatening politicians, breaking into the residence of the Canadian prime minister, an armed standoff near the Hoover dam, a kidnapping plot and two kidnappings, and at least one murder."

Timeline of incidents involving QAnon

"Since the movement's emergence in 2017, adherents of the QAnon far-right conspiracy theory have been involved in a number of controversial events, some of them violent, resulting in the filing of criminal charges and one conviction for terrorism."

QAnon Believers Committed Nearly 80 Conspiracy-Motivated Crimes, Report Finds

May 2021  

"QAnon adherents have committed 79 ideologically motivated crimes across the United States, researchers from the Domestic Radicalization Project at the University of Maryland found. Over half of those crimes (40) were committed by QAnon believers who had stormed the Capitol on January 6."

Examining Extremism: QAnon

From the Center for Strategic & International Studies

June 10, 2021

"Even if QAnon is but a temporary meme, dangerous conspiracy theories will not go away. As long as the Internet provides forums for fringe content, QAnon adherents will continue to perpetuate their fact-free beliefs and occasionally be radicalized to conduct violent attacks. And if QAnon does disappear, it will still have highlighted a path for both nefarious extremists and state-actor rivals to polarize and divide American society, often with violent consequences."

2024

February 2024

Justin Mohn - shot and decapitated his own father after becoming radicalized and unhinged from consuming a variety on on-line far-right content.

“The bigger picture here is that this is another example of the fact that the kind of overheated, deeply politicized, extreme rhetoric that you hear sometimes in this country from politically elected officials and leaders actually has an impact on these marginalized people with extremist views who might be … driven to embark in acts of violence,” he said.

QANON - CATCHING PEDOPHILES ... OR BREEDING THEM?

If Qanon is really about STOPPING  evil rapists and pedophiles (rather than about projecting guilt for these crimes onto their left-leaning political opponents), why are there so many perps among them?

The Qanon scam was cooked up by pornographer Jim Watkins, called "the King of Porn", who set up porn sites to evade regulation by Asian governments, and directly contributed to widespread child sex abuse & trafficking in The Philippines & other Asian countries, and his son Ron Watkins - a hacker who was part of Steve Bannon's "Gamergate" misogyny-fest.

Given that Qanon claims to be about "saving children" from a "global pedophile elite" (really just a regurgitation of old anti-Semitic tropes blaming Jews for everything from pandemics to recessions to child sacrifice), it seems ironic that so many of these pedophilia-obsessed hash-tag-save-our-children types turn out to be depraved perpetrators themselves.

Matthew Coleman - Qanon believer, murdered his two children with a spear-fishing gun.

Charles Dyer - former marine, member of Oath Keepers, accused of raping his 6 year old daughter

Phil Godlewski - Qanon leader who claimed Democrats were groomers & pedophiles. Guilty of statutory rape

Ben Gibson - GOP candidate, Qanon supporter, arrested for child sexual abuse material

Tim Nolan - Trump campaign chair in Kentucky, Qanon amplifier who claimed Democrats are pedophiles - charged with 28 felonies including rape, trfficking, sodomy. 8 of his 22 victims were minors.

George Nader - Trump campaign adviser, plead guilty to child porn & sex trafficking

David Trent - Qanon "influencer" who accused Democrats of being pedophiles, is a convicted child molester.

 WHO ARE THE REAL GROOMERS HERE?

Watch out for the "Watchman Decree"

 

The Watchman Decree was written by Christian Nationalist Gene Bailey.

It was recited here, leading the congregation here to do likewise, by:

Hank Kunneman, Lance Wallnau, Dutch Sheets, Mario Murrillo and Gene Bailey.

(Funny - no women).

These are popular "prophets" in the New Apostolic Reform movement, which has veered into 7 Mountains Dominionism, particularly since Trump, Qanon and the pandemic.

But the seeds of white supremacy, masqueraring as patriotism, masquerading as fervent Christianity, have been there in white American evangelicalism all along.

 It degenerates into fervent chants of "You Ess Ayy! You Ess AYY!"

 It is eerily similar in vibe to Hitler's rallies.

"Wild Enthusiasm at Nuremberg"

 

 

I have two reasons for not wanting a "Christian nation": 

1. I don't want to have religious/spiritual bullying/domination towards those who aren't Christians on my conscience

2. We will end up with a fake, powerless and watered down Gospel that relies on political power and cultural supremacy instead of the truth of the Gospel and the life-healing, life-giving power of the Holy Spirit. 

I don't want the bloodshed and violence of 1.

and 

I don't want the counterfeit of 2.

Here is the transcript:

Below, I will give my rebuttal. It's .... different.

Watchman Decree - by Gene and Teri Bailey

"As a patriot of faith, I attest my allegiance first and foremost to the Kingdom of God and the Great Commission. Secondly, I agree to be a watchman over our nation concerning its people and their rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (Photo of Gene and Teri Bailey)

We will NEVER stop fighting!

We will NEVER, EVER, EVER give up or give in!

We WILL take our country back.

We WILL honor the ONE TRUE GOD – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

AMERICA SHALL BE SAVED!

*Watchman Decree was written and shared by FlashPoint on 7/1/2022.

**Seven Mountains of Influence include media, business/finance, family, education, politics, arts/entertainment, and religion.

Religious nationalism typically cloaks itself in religious garb, even when its tenets sharply diverge from the real values of the religion it politically/culturally hijacks. 

But notice the real agenda couched in lots of Bible-y language.

"energy independent"

They mean, CAPITALISM, with no responsibility for climate change

"Judeo-Christian"

They mean, WHITE.

Notice there is no reference to JESUS, whom we're meant to be following, anywhere in this "decree".

But imagine if this declaration really did reflect the heart of God and the principles in His word?

It might look something like this:

The Watchman's Prayer

By Julie Bell

As a follower of Christ, in love covenant with Jesus, I consecrate my heart first and foremost to JESUS, to serve a Kingdom that is not of this world. (John 18:36)

Acknowledging that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to JESUS (Matthew 28:18), I therefore embark on the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18) to preach the good news to the poor (Luke 4:18) heal the sick (Matthew 10:8), release the oppressed (Luke 4:18), reach the untouchables and teach them to obey all of God's commandments (Matthew 18:19) that are summed up in this commandment: "LOVE GOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER" (Matthew 22:37-40), making disciples, that is, followers of Jesus, who will enter his rest and walk with Jesus (Matthew 11:28) - knowing that wherever I go, He is with me (Matthew 28:20).

Secondly, I agree to be a watchman over my own lips (Psalm 141:3) and my own soul, inviting the Holy Spirit to search my own heart to see if there is any offensive way in ME and guide me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139: 23-24)

I pray blessing over my own earthly nation and seek the peace and prosperity of the city where I live, even when or if it is a place of exile (Jeremiah 29:7)

As an ambassador of Christ and a citizen of a heavenly Kingdom, I surrender my "rights", and instead, I deny myself, take up my cross and follow Jesus. (Matthew 16:24)

As a Christian, I respect the governing bodies God has instituted on earth, even when they happen not to cater to my world view or do not serve my own personal privilege or interests. (Romans 13)

I acknowledge that the authorities that exist have been established by God (Romans 13:1)

This means I do not get to rebel against and overthrow the ones I don't like, who won't give preference to me and those of my particular world view.

I am an ambassador of Christ, here to serve as a vessel of his love, to share the Gospel of peace that is indeed good news for the poor, as Mary prophesied in Luke 1:51-53

WHEREAS:

·        * We, the church, are the bride of Christ, redeemed, restored and called to intimacy the fellowship with God. In Christ, we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a Holy Nation, a people belonging to God, that we may declare HIS praises.

·       * Since we have been raised with Christ, we set our hearts on things above, not on earthly things, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:1-3)

·       *  All authority on heaven and earth has been given to Jesus, and from this comes our impetus to go to all nations to preach the Gospel of peace to the poor, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

·       * We are Christ’s ambassadors of the message of reconciliation, compelled by Christ’s love, to no longer live for ourselves and our own interests, but for Him. (2 Corinthians 5:14-20)

·        * Through the power of God, we are subject to the influence of the Holy Spirit to perfect in our hearts his love and truth, so that in everything, we may be temples of the Holy Spirit and couriers of God’s presence.

·       * We know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. We therefore acknowledge that it is not our right to mis-use Biblical concepts of spiritual warfare to gain supremacy in culture wars and political contests, or to demonize or marginalize people we disagree with, who believe and worship differently to ourselves. Our fight is in the heavenly realm, not the earthly realm, and our victory is in the unseen spiritual realm, not on the civic stage. (Ephesians 6:12) Our battle field is our own minds, hearts, habits, behaviours, relationships and lives – and we are called to be humble, to submit ourselves to Jesus, and resist the devil so that he will flee from us. (James 4:7)

WE MAKE OUR DECLARATIONS:

1.      1. We acknowledge that all earthly governments are established by God and we decree peace, wisdom, moderation, wisdom and restraint for all world leaders and the nations they are responsible for.

2.      2. We affirm that the legislative branch of our nation will make laws that are fair and just and reasonable for all citizens, not only the ones who subscribe to our particular faith and preferred ideology.

3.     3. We affirm that we, the church, do not have the final authority to determine and distinguish what rulings are constitutional, and that the laws of the land are not to be determined according to theocracy, neither do clerics have superior power to assert their world view over the judicial system.

4.      4. We declare that we stand against polarization, demonizing the ‘other’, radicalization and every kind of extremism that has prevented us being able to listen with an open heart to those most affected by injustice and oppression.

5. We declare that when our presumed God-given freedoms impinge on the rights and freedoms of other people who may not share our particular world view, we will be reasonable and not aggressive in respecting their right to believe, worship and live differently to ourselves.

6.      6. We declare that we will be salt and light in our local communities, serving and sowing generously, while respecting the right of people of different faiths and world views to have influence and representation for their communities, too.

7.      7. In the areas of media, business/finance, family, education, politics, arts/entertainment, and religion, we surrender control and supremacy and repent of any undue exceptionalism and supremacy that causes us to presume superior influence or domination over other citizens who have as much of a right to representation and participation in civic life as the church. We commit to being light and salt and having a positive witness that draws people to Christ and makes the Gospel attractive to them, rather than driving them away through our attitude of domination.

8.     8. We declare that God so loved the WHOLE world, that he gave his son Jesus, so that anyone, of any tongue and tribe and nation, who would choose to believe in Him, may experience new life in Jesus. (John 3:16) We acknowledge the heart of God for all nations and that all people in all nations have a responsibility to do justly, love, mercy and walk humbly with God.

9.      9. We affirm that our nation is not independent, but inter-dependent, and that decision that we make within our borders concerning energy consumption have repercussions for climate change and thus the safety and well-being for peoples and nations beyond our own borders, who are equally precious to God.

10.  10. We agree that every nation on earth has an interest in being secure, stable and strong and able to serve the needs of its own citizens, and that our country has no right to presume supremacy over any other. We decree that all nations will live considerately, peaceably and justly and be good neighbours to one another.

11.  11. We agree that in self-interest, our nation will not exert power, authority and rights over other people and other lands in ways that result in evil outcomes for peoples beyond our shores, with evil repercussions for our own citizens.

12.  12. We affirm that we will operate in unity, both within church and between denominations, going beyond political and ideological lines to seek compromise and consensus even with those from different political positions, ideologies, priorities, faiths and religions to our own.

13.  13. We agree that all people have a right to hear the Gospel and experience the love of God and encounter the presence of God for themselves, and acknowledge that the salvation comes only from God and through the power and witness of the Holy Spirit interacting with each individual person’s own soul, and that this cannot be enforced or legislated, lest people be forced to accept a wordly and legalistic counterfeit.

We declare the truth that we must first put our own house in order and that judgement must begin in the house of God, and we must know the truth that sets us free, and repent corporately of such sins and errors that have led us astray for the simple Gospel – such as Qanon, conspiracy theories, Trumpism, white supremacy, Great Replacement Theory, Christian nationalism, Covid denialism, climate change denialism, unfettered exploitative capitalism, and rampant sexual abuse by, and cover up by, Christian leaders throughout the church.

We will continue to stand up for justice, especially for the poor and the marginalized, and not perpetuate the sins of Sodom by indulging in pride, gluttony and prosperous ease, while ignoring the suffering of the poor and needy (Ezekiel 16:49)

We commit to listening and compromising and making concession where in the past, we have been stubborn and hard-hearted. We ask that God will give us a heart of flesh where there was once a heart of stone, and that we will work to bring healing to our nation.

We humble ourselves, submit ourselves to God, resist self-serving evil, so that the enemy might flee from us (James 4:7)

We lay our lives down.

We will follow Jesus and his lived example, as true disciples of the prince of peace and commit ourselves to the increase of his reign, government and peace (Isaiah 9:6-7)

We commit to moving beyond noisy and showy religion and worship, to hear the heart of God and allow justice and righteousness to roll on like an ever-flowing stream. (Amos 5:21-24)

We will do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).

We declare that salvation comes from God, by his love sacrifice (Revelation 7:9-10), from his heavenly Kingdom and not through Christian theocracy, achieving salvation for people from every tongue and tribe and people and language, not just America. 

So that our nation, and all nations, might be saved.
