Way More Than you Ever Wanted to know about Ralph Reed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“When the Jews returned \u00a0Zion and a comet rips the sky, and the holy Roman Empire rises, you and i must die. From the eternal seas he rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his brother, til man exists no more<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"The book of revelations predicted the return of the AntiChrist would be by means of a human personality entirely of his possession, and through him Satan would wage his last formidable offense.<\/p>\n

Satan’s\u00a0human emissary\u00a0will build his counterfeit kingdom here on earth.<\/p>\n

If you ever scratched your head wondering how\u00a0The GOP took the senate in 2010 or defeated Scott Walker’s WI recall election in 2012, or how we ended up with 5 raving lunatics as potential GOP nominees this year, look no further than Fake-Christian, preternatural baby-faced huckster, Messiah of Satan, The Lawless One, The Arch Deceiver who goes by the name Ralph Reed.<\/em><\/p>\n

He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; \u201cHe will do as he pleases\u201d[Daniel 11:36]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ralph Reed was, seemingly, just born bad. His mother describes him as if he were the little boy in Twilight Zone, whom adults must appease or he’ll send them to the corn fields – uncontrollable, willful, stubborn and selfish.\u00a0A little dictator. The kind of kid who just doesn’t care what other people want, he is going to force them to live by his way of thinking. I can see him, defiantly refusing to eat his vegetables, having to win at every game, mutilating animals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking more like he was about to blow up the school than an activist student, Reed met fellow student Jack Abramoff – who looks 40 – \u00a0at University of Georgia, as “Young Republicans”. Reed trolled college campuses organizing for Ronald Reagan. He fell for right-wing political activism and street theater after witnessing a vitriolic protest in response to the hostage crisis in Iran, students chanting \u201cnuke \u2018em \u2018til they glow,\u201d demanding that Iranian students in the US quit \u201ctaking our jobs and go home.”<\/p>\n

More pol than preacher, Reed was indifferent to religion, but a rabid Republican. He was a major douchebag, penning\u00a0a column taking hawkish positions on gun control and the nuclear freeze. Stepping\u00a0into the well of the state house as a freshman, he actually argued \u00a0in favor of raising the drinking age to 21, facing a wall of contempt from fellow students.<\/p>\n

\"\"While running student campaigns, Ralph gained a reputation as a dirty trick player, and elections rigger. He\u00a0was also the cheater in\u00a0a plagiarism scandal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span> His response to having been caught cheating was <\/strong>a harbinger of things to come from a new generation of Republicans: he attacked his victim, claiming the accusations were motivated by personal antipathy on the part of the student who exposed him, “and to imply otherwise is the most shocking, profane form of personal attack I can imagine”, <\/em>said Reed.\u00a0Former classmates describe him as creepy, nerdy and judgmental.<\/p>\n

What DOES it take to get kicked out of U of Georgia? And, seriously, how OLD was Jack Abramoff when he went to college?<\/p>\n

[Dan 11:37] He will only honor a \u201cgod\u201d of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a “College Republican”, Ralph was one of those Cold War idiots in shirt-sleeves and ties, using army metaphors and dreaming up stupid stunts. Members were ordered to memorize the famous opening speech from the movie “Patton”, substituting the word “Democrats” for the word “Nazis”. Despite his\u00a0clean-cut Latter Day appearance and protestations against underage drinking, the undergraduate political operative was no saint. Rather, he was described as a “hard-drinking ladies man”.<\/p>\n

When the sixth angel blew his trumpet, The Beast was freed from the bottomless pit. and wrecked havoc upon the earth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Ralph Reed had a religious conversion experience. \u00a0And it was at \u00a0a bar called “Bullfeathers” in Washington DC. Says Reed:<\/p>\n

“The Holy Spirit simply demanded me to come to Jesus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, there in the cavernous sports bar, amid the hooting sportsfans at\u00a0Bullfeathers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Ralph Reed\u00a0had a million dollar idea. He would take up the persona of an “outspoken Christian” in order to dupe real Christians for political gain. It was beautiful in it’s simplicity, a potential lucrative mainstream market in the vein of nouveau-Natives “finding” their fractional American Indian heritage and raking in benefits meant for the real blood quantum’s. Reed\u2019s newfound faith reportedly compelled him to seek forgiveness for his past transgressions.<\/p>\n

Soon after his miraculous call to Christ at Bullfeathers, the\u00a0well-oiled little fascist met his would-be wife\u00a0at a romantic rally for firebrand Senator Jesse Helms. Reed was 23. She was….16. “Fate” brought them together, the adult DC political operative and the teenager\/high school junior.<\/p>\n

After his come to Jesus moment at Bullfeathers, Ralph Reed began to devote his life to love, tolerance, acceptance, and forgiveness – as Jesus encouraged – by bursting into abortion clinic waiting rooms, verbally abusing patients and staging mock baby funerals. As the scheming leader of Operation Rescue, Reed rented a powder blue Cadillac to serve as a hearse and organized protests and \u201cpray-ins\u201d outside the clinic, and picket the homes of doctors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He will rise from obscurity\u2026a \u201clittle horn\u201d [Daniel 7:8]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was 1989, and the lilliputian AntiChrist was working as a hotel waiter until his “Time”. There he met Pat Robertson at an inaugural dinner for George H. W. Bush. Reed must have conjured up some very potent Satanic sex appeal to use on old Pat, because within months the 27 year old waiter was anointed executive director of the Christian Coalition.\u00a0The blue-eyed choirboy\u00a0was the perfect cure to the decade of TV-preacher scandals, putting to rest the stereotype of the creaky old fiery televangelist with\u00a0wagging moralizing finger. Reed was the personification of the modern, ascendant religious right, a presentable ambassador to lead the jowly old scolds \u00a0into the new political age.<\/p>\n

Reed’s recipe for success was far more simple than his coiffed exterior: master the banal drudgery of grassroots organizing.\u00a0He wasn’t the smartest guy in the room – but his organizational and oratorical skills were good enough to allow him to fan out around the country and sell the coalition like a crusade, convincing members to act as political missionaries for the cause.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reed took the Christian Coalition from a loose array of evangelicals into a 1.9 million member team able to activate on a moment’s notice, barraging politicians with calls and letters. Reed\u00a0created ‘ farm team’s’ of \u00a0”pro-family, pro-life, pro-free-market’ candidates at every level of government, from school board on up. He taught his candidates to avoid publicity, stay out of the limelight and not call attention to themselves.\u00a0He would campaign on their behalf exclusively in fundamentalist, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches, distributing his “Values Voter Guides”.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Reed was said to speak in crafted sound bites, speaking and laughing a little too loudly. He dressed in\u00a0flashy, double-breasted suits, impeccably knotted silk ties, Trumpian gold cuff links, and black ostrich cowboy boots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But it was\u00a0that face<\/em>. An\u00a0unlined heart, a pale peach under a swoop of ebony hair. Eyes the color of ice flashing from under a dark brow. The\u00a0pimply nerd in tear-drop lenses had become a swan. He really was an adorable little fucker,<\/p>\n

Before Ralph Reed, \u00a0the stock in trade of the fundamentalists was faith healings by scary old crones on TV evangelist broadcasts. Reed taught followers to focus on the literal realtime partnering with God \u00a0– and ix-nay on the tongues and snake-oil and faith healings – because that was harder to be skeptical about.<\/p>\n

Under Mr. Reed’s tenure, the Christian Coalition’s annual budget jumped from $200,00 to\u00a0$27 million<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Antichrist will rise up out of the sea of nations. <\/em>The Beast will appear as an astute and miraculous political leader, who comes in to power on a platform of peace, safety and prosperity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 1996, Reed turned the Coalition into a driving force behind Sen. Bob Dole\u2019s presidential campaign. Bob Dole was not Reed’s first choice \u2013 that would be clownshow ideologue Pat Buchanan – but Reed pulled out all the stops delivering the nomination to Dole. Reed and company took\u00a0over the Republican National Convention, turning it into a prime-time, right-wing pep rally.<\/p>\n

Alas, Reed’s stealth strategy didn’t work against the superpowers of Bill Clinton, and the zany convention antics scared\u00a0off voters.\u00a0Guys like Reed and Newt Gingrich were starting to seem dusty and dowdy after sexy Bill Clinton defeated boring old Bob Dole and old coot Ross Perot.<\/p>\n

He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era <\/em>[Daniel 7:25]<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reed\u2019s goal of making the Religious Right a key player in the Republican mainstream had failed, prompting Reed to contemplate quitting politics all together. If ONLY. Reed was reanimated when President Clinton tried to lift the ban on gays serving in the military. Via Robertson\u2019s \u201c700 Club\u201d broadcast, Reed mobilized his right-wing grassroots by orchestrating a flurry of opposition and\u00a0generating so many calls that they jammed the Capitol Hill switchboard.<\/p>\n

Reed was concerned that the Right had become, in his words, \u201cghettoized” by a narrow band of issues like abortion, gay rights and school prayer, that held it back from becoming a mainstream force. To counter “ghettoization,\u201d<\/em> Reed broadened his agenda to include issues like health care.\u00a0 Thus, when President Clinton announced his plan to expand healthcare to include more Americans, Reed unleashed the “Christian” Coalition\u2019s most expensive campaign ever. Reed spent $1.4 million to oppose a healthcare plan – just like Jesus wanted – by focusing primarily on its alleged abortion, gay rights, and sex education ramifications. Reed warned his minions that it was nothing but:<\/p>\n

\u201ca Trojan Horse for a not-so-hidden agenda to \u2026promote a radical social agenda.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

In 1997, 10 years after joining the Christian Coalition and having built it into one of the most potent forces in Republican politics, Ralph quit Pat. He left the CC having driven the it into the ground, bankrupt, and under investigation by the FEC, having ripped off members to the tune of 1 million dollars – typical Business Satan stuff. Reed formed his own organization, “Christian Coalition to form Century Strategies”, a political consulting firm whose clients had to oppose abortion, taxes and gambling. Reed left the CC in shambles, but succeeded in Satan’s goal of bringing religious extremism into American political life.<\/p>\n

After Reed\u2019s exit, the Christian Coalition continued to deteriorate and, by 1999, found itself $2.5 million in debt, having its tax-exempt status revoked and fined for having improperly supported Newt Gingrich\u2019s election and sharing its mailing list with right-wing Senate candidate, good old Oliver North.<\/p>\n

As Bob Irvin, a prominent Georgia Republican and former Speaker in the Legislature, put it:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Reed’s] M.O. is to tell evangelical Christians that his cause of the moment, for which he has been hired, is their religious duty, and therefore they need to write regulators, turn up at meetings, or whatever. As an evangelical myself, I resent Christianity being used simply to help Reed\u2019s business.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reed’s political consulting business got off to an inauspicious\u00a0start.\u00a0 In 1998, fewer than half of Reed\u2019s clients had won their election races. Many of\u00a0Reed\u2019s clients\u2019 losing campaigns followed a similar trajectory toward defeat: starting out strong, with heavy appeals on “moral” issues, faltered in the stretch and ultimate resorting to a blizzard of last-minute, outrageous, low-ball (sometimes racially tinged) tactics before stumbling toward defeat.<\/p>\n

Naturally, often these attacks were racially tinged. One\u00a0of Reed\u2019s clients, Gary Hofmeister, a congressional candidate from Indiana, ran an ad in which the face of his opponent, Julia Carson, who is black, melded into images of prison doors and hypodermic needles. HAHAHAHA<\/p>\n

Another client, Mitch Skandalakis, and candidate for Georgia lieutenant governor, reacted to his slide in the polls by launching a series of blistering attacks on the alleged incompetence of the predominantly black administration of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite is the ad Reed aired featuring an actor resembling Mitch Skandalakis’ opponent, Mark Taylor, clad in a tattered robe, shuffling down a hallway in an Atlanta mental asylum. \u00a0HAHAHHA<\/p>\n

Both Hofmeister and Skandalakis went down to defeat, and the blame was placed squarely on Ralph Reed, not just for his clients, but for for bringing down the entire Republican ticket in Georgia.<\/p>\n

\"\"“There is something wrong with his\u00a0eyes<\/em>.” – Rosemary Woodhouse<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“It’s like guerrilla warfare. If you reveal your location, all it does is allow your opponent to improve his artillery bearings. It’s better to move quietly, with stealth,<\/em> under cover of night. You’ve got two choices: You can wear cammies and shimmy along on your belly, or you can put on a red coat and stand up for everyone to see. It comes down to whether you want to be the British army in the Revolutionary War or the Viet Cong. History tells us which tactic was more effective.” – Ralph Reed to the Los Angeles Times, March 22, 1992<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reed’s “star power” had transcend the reality of him as a not-too-bright political operative, a difficult-to-fathom mix of high-end political pontificating and low-ball campaign tactics. But despite\u00a0Reed\u2019s embarrassing performance in 1998, he\u00a0continued to be in high demand – \u00a0talk-show pundits continued to book him as if he were still a wunderkind. People continued to be bamboozled by the charlatan.<\/p>\n

In 1998, Bill Gates hired Ralph Reed. He needed to garner George W Bush’s support to Microsoft\u2019s position in the Justice Department\u2019s antitrust case – \u00a0should he win the upcoming presidential election.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The software colossus had been getting grief from the Clinton Justice Dept over its alleged anti-competitive practices.<\/span> Naturally Microsoft leaned towards anti-regulatory, laissez-faire economic policies espoused by Republicans, but\u00a0it’s still weird that they’d hire a guy touting Christianity as the righteous cure for all that ails poor American’s pocketbooks. He was not\u00a0known for opposition to regulations and taxes, but for opposition to abortion, gay rights and other tenets of the Christian conservative agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Microsoft first hired Reed in 1998, he hadn\u2019t yet signed on officially as a Bush advisor. But Reed stayed on Gates’ payroll after becoming a senior advisor to the Bush campaign in 1999.\u00a0Gates may have thought he\u2019d had a stroke of luck when his lobbyist ended up as a key insider in the Republican candidate\u2019s campaign. Reed, however, knew exactly what he was doing.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, the perception was that the software barons were brazenly trying to buy its way into a presidential candidate\u2019s graces, and it was a p<\/span>ublic relations fiasco.\u00a0Naturally, when the story of Reed’s involvement with Microsoft came out, Reed claimed that he had never, ever <\/em>asked Bush to take a position on the government\u2019s antitrust case against Microsoft. Bush spokesidiot Scott McClennen said:<\/p>\n

\u201cRalph said it was an error on his part. Neither the governor nor the campaign has been talked to or personally lobbied by anyone at Ralph\u2019s firm about Microsoft.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses-but only for a time<\/em>\u201c\u00a0(Dan 11:21-24)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reed claimed that he was “done with electoral politics”, and now was the time for him “to start humping in corporate accounts”. He\u00a0joined the Jack Abramoff \/Grover Norquist self-described\u00a0\u201cTriumvirate”, <\/em>a perfect partnership of skulduggery: Grover, the bearded, anti-tax ideologue; Jack, the world-class schmoozing straight man,\/peddler of congressional influence; and Ralph, the “born again” sleazebag who’d be the motivational organizer and undercover operative, OR as Abramoff said of him:<\/p>\n

“a bad version of us”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"Since his religion was just something dreamed up over Amstel Lites and chicken wings at Bullfeathers, Ralph Reed had no problem squaring up all the terrible, immoral, illegal things he would be asked to do with his salvation through his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I mean, he couldn’t possibly be a real<\/em> Christian because he would know\u00a0his actions are damning his eternal soul, right?<\/p>\n

There were the moneymaking schemes pegged to life insurance payouts from elderly African-Americans (“mortgaging old black people<\/a><\/strong>“), where\u00a0Reed would have been the point man with church leaders, ushering them through the sticky process of getting their elders to sign up for life insurance policies payable to Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed.<\/p>\n

There was the public condemning of China for its horrific human rights history, while privately being paid to lobby for supporting<\/em> China’s trade status.<\/p>\n

It went like this: In order to appease his business clients, who it behooved to have a relaxed U.S. trade policy toward China, Reed tapped into his vast network of conservative religious activists, to whom China was anathema. Soon something called the “Alliance of Christian Ministries” in China was telling Congress that free trade would open doors for missionaries in an atheistic nation. The alliance, naturally, was a facade.\u00a0Reed’s MO was to trick conservative Christian groups into making the case for causes that benefit Reed’s clients – obscuring the clients’ identity. Reed would exploit his connections in the evangelical Christian community even as they contradict positions he advocated as one of the nation’s most prominent spokesmen for the religious right.\u00a0Reed formed the “Alliance for Christian Ministries” to exploit its evangelical goals to serve the interests of his paying clients, a “coalition” of big businesses including Boeing Co., which had a more secular objective: to sell the Chinese government $120 billion worth of airplanes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Triumvirate opened the money spigot and\u00a0the one-time college Republicans turned the conservative revival into a full-on racket.\u00a0Reed’s role was, literally, to “BRING OUT THE WACKOS”.<\/p>\n

With that directive, Ralph Reed went full Antichrist.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Reed’s assignments from Abramoff came swiftly. Abramoff used Reed to undermine human rights installments in the Mariana Islands – a US Commonwealth that had been under US control since the end of World War II.\u00a0The US at that time was making long-overdue efforts to clean up sweatshops on the Mariana islands, where Chinese women had been brought in to work under despicable conditions\u00a0and paid pennies for producing garments labeled \u201cMade in the USA”.<\/p>\n

The women were forced to live behind barbed wire in squalid shacks without plumbing. Women and children were forced into prostitution. Women were routinely\u00a0subject to forced abortions.\u00a0Frank Murkowski, then (R) Sen from\u00a0Alaska, submitted a bill to extend U.S.\u00a0minimum-wage labor protection to the workers in the CNMI. The Senate passed the worker reform bill unanimously. The bill was blocked in the house by\u00a0Tom DeLay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From 1995 – 2001, Jack Abramoff was employed – for\u00a0$6.7 million –<\/em> by corrupt CNMI officials, to stop t<\/em>he Washington reforms. Abramoff, in turn, brought in his faux-Christian boy bully and his direct mail company, “Millennium Marketing”, to conduct\u00a0a phony grass roots campaign urging Alabama Christians to take political action to oppose <\/em>the human rights reforms.<\/p>\n

Reed didn\u2019t tell these Christians that he was being paid millions to keep the sweatshops running and the forced abortions coming. His company explained it was just trying to encourage \u201cgrass roots citizens to promote the propagation of the Gospel\u201d and that many of the workers were \u201cconverted to the Christian faith and return to China with Bibles in hand.” Reed\u00a0told the gullible Christians that the reforms were a “trick” orchestrated by “The Left and Organized labor”, and that limits on the treatment of Chinese workers would keep them from being \u201cexposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Watch the great Bill Moyers‘ <\/span>The Resurrection of Ralph Reed <\/span><\/a><\/strong>featuring the\u00a0pimply whipper snapper in a brass encrusted office, illegally wheeling and dealing).<\/p>\n

It’s 1994 and Reed is credited with catapulting the Republicans to their first victory in the House in 40 years. The\u00a0Republican Party is riding high. Under Newt Gingrich, the GOP pursued an ambitious agenda, highlighted by their stupid <\/span>Contract with America.<\/em> Unfortunately for them, they <\/span>going up against President Clinton,<\/span><\/a><\/strong> their intellectual superior, who wielded\u00a0veto power, tore apart the Contract with America point by point on TV, and reveled in repeatedly cock blocking Newt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The Antichrist was now infamous enough to get his rubbery mug on a horrifying\u00a0cover of\u00a0Time<\/em>.\u00a0Little did Americans know that The ” Right Hand of God” had the left hand hand up Abramoff’s ass and in everybody’s bank account.<\/p>\n

Fuck TIME for stoking his ego – but then again, it started the pathway toward disgrace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before the hanging chads, before the 6-hour lines of black voters, before the thieving of an election, George W Bush had to get the party’s nomination. During the 2000 election cycle, Then-Governor George W Bush was threatened enough by Reed’s ability to siphon wacko born-again votes to not have him on his team, by any means necessary. W put a call into his good buddy Ken Lay and suddenly Ralphie had himself a\u00a06-figure lobbying gig at <\/span><\/a>Enron<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ralph<\/p>\n

After W lost the New Hampshire primary to Sen. John McCain by nearly twenty points, Reed went to work targeting evangelical voters in South Carolina, just as he had done for Bob Dole.\u00a0Reed promised Karl Rove that he could deliver the nomination to W. He gleefully took on his unsavory role in the campaign, running a vicious smear attack against John McCain, the likes of which\u00a0modern politics has never seen. Reed contended that; McCain’s wife, Cindy, was a drug addict; McCain had slept with hookers and given Cindy \u00a0V.D.; he\u2019d turned traitor in the \u201cHanoi Hilton,\u201d; he was mentally unstable from his captivity; was a Manchurian Candidate, brainwashed to destroy the G.O.P. and, in the coup de gras, that he had fathered an “illegitimate black baby”. Veterans had formerly been off limits, but Ralph Reed changed those rules forever. Reed\u00a0succeeded in taking the ex P.O.W out of the presidential running. Although “Swiftboating” was not officially coined until 2004, the practice was created in 2000 by Ralph Reed.<\/p>\n

As one of Reed\u2019s political allies would say years later:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Reed] is completely Machiavellian.\u00a0 He will do anything to win”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a GQ article entitled,\u00a0The Sins of Ralph Reed<\/a>, <\/strong><\/span>former Reed adherent and Southern GOPer\u00a0Maurice Atkinson\u00a0says about his former colleague that he’s “got no core”<\/em> and that he’s “either an awfully cheap whore, or he’s diabolical.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reed’s shameless public espousals\u00a0of “faith” were in sync with W’s own evangelical efforts needed to remedy a lifetime of slackery, draft-dodging, boozing and cocaine use. Under Reed, self-professed evangelicals became one of Bush’s largest bases of support. Like an evil Pete\u00a0Campbell, all shameless shenanigans\u00a0and bluster, Reed helped put W over the top even before hanging chads sealed the deal. The elfin AntiChrist made the Christian Right seem as if they were ascendant and inevitable future, putting into practice the destructive and alchemization of Republican politics and evangelicalism that is ruining our country today.<\/p>\n

Reed’s next move was to get himself elected Republican chairman in Georgia, presiding over the best Republican election year since Reconstruction. Predictably, his powers of persuasion are the roots of his strength and the roots of his frequent failures.<\/p>\n

His major atrocity as chairman was his\u00a0attack on sitting Senator, Max Cleland<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/strong> Reed launched ads<\/a> <\/strong> against Cleland attacking his “patriotism”. The ads featured footage of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden and attacked Cleland’s record on national security, suggesting that Cleland was in league with terrorists. The voice-over announced that Cleland had voted against the Homeland Security legislation – legislation that he had actually co-sponsored<\/em>.\u00a0Reed defended the ads, denying the they equated Cleland with Osama and Saddam because their photos were not literally morphed into Cleland’s face. <\/em>Republican\u00a0Sens. Chuck Hagel and John McCain \u00a0— both Vietnam veterans — were so offended and irate that they forced their party to remove the ads.<\/p>\n

\"\"Senator Max Cleland was a decorated war hero, a triple amputee, a victim of a grenade explosion in Vietnam in 1968 that left his body mangled, three limbs left on a battlefield in\u00a0Khe Sanh. After Vietnam, Cleland spent years recovering from his physical and emotional scars. Yet, he says that his Senate defeat after one term at the hands of Ralph Reed was even worse than the trauma <\/span><\/a><\/strong>than he suffered in Vietnam. The American patriot had to be readmitted to\u00a0Walter Reed —\u00a0where he’d first been put back together nearly four decades earlier — for crippling depression.<\/p>\n

“I cried uncontrollably for 2 \u00bd years.”<\/p>\n

“I was younger when I got blown up. I had only my limbs to lose. This time I had a … career. It was the losing of the lifestyle, the losing of the sense of purpose.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking of himself and john Kerry who was similarly attacked by these jackals:<\/p>\n

“Karl Rove managed to take away our service.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Something about the parable in Matthew with the “whited sepulchers” — outwardly beautifully whitewashed tombs with dead men’s bones and rotting corpses inside — seems to sum up Ralph Reed.<\/p>\n

By using his position to shovel GOP cash towards destroying Max Cleland, and away from the presumably doomed gubernatorial campaign of Sonny Perdue, Reed had made a strategic error. When Perdue won and became Georgia’s Republican potentate, he quickly kicked the smarmy Ralph Reed out the door.\u00a0During Reed’s apparently “triumphant” 2002 stint as state party chairman,\u00a0he made himself the object of a deeper, and less publicized, scorn.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Reed, in between his high-profile election work, he had been busy building his “consulting” business.<\/p>\n

Beginning in 1999, Reed, who had once called gambling \u201ca cancer on the American body politic,\u201d was hired by Jack Abramoff \u00a0to employ his expertise in mobilizing the right-wing grassroots to help shut down gambling initiatives that threatened the interests of Abramoff\u2019s casino-owning clients.\u00a0Abramoff \u00a0subcontracted Reed\u2019s “Century Strategies” to generate opposition to attempts to legalize a state-sponsored lottery and video poker in Alabama, an effort that was bankrolled by the Choctaw Tribe, the wealthiest gambling tribe in the country.\u00a0Reed’s one directive: to enflame moral outrage over gambling among Christian activists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reed promised that “Century Strategies” was \u201copening the bomb bays and holding nothing back\u201d, running a\u00a0religious-themed anti-gambling campaign<\/a><\/strong> at the behest of the interests of the Choctaws. He directed Christians to pressure politicians and voters to end gambling activities at competing casinos. He\u00a0engaged the Alabama chapter of the Christian Coalition, as well as influential right-wing figures such as James Dobson, to work to defeat the proposals.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Ralph Reed repeatedly assured the Christian Coalition that the funding for its work was not coming from gambling interests. But it was. To pay for this campaign, Reed took millions from the Choctaws and funneled it through the bogus “Christian Coalition of Alabama” and “Citizens Against Legalized Lottery”. Christian groups were ignorant to the fact that Reed was being paid $4.2 million by competing Indian casino owners. From 2000 – 2002, Ralph Reed perpetrated the theft of $88 million from six Indian tribes.<\/p>\n

For his part, Abramoff dismissed his Indian clients as \u201cmorons,\u201d \u201cmonkeys,\u201d and \u201ctroglodytes\u201d in widely publicized emails to Scanlon\u00a0and was primarily concerned with getting his \u201cmitts on [their] moolah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When word of the grift first broke, Ralph and Jack turned on each other like a pitbull on a Palin. Reed claimed that he had \u201cno direct knowledge of Abramoff\u2019s lobbying firm\u2019s clients or their interests.\u201d\u00a0But Reed knew exactly what was going\u00a0on, that the money funding his anti-gambling operations was coming from the Choctaw tribe and that he was indirectly working to protect the tribe\u2019s multi-million dollar gambling interests. Emails emerged from the Abramoff investigation that made it clear that Reed was fully aware of the whole mess.<\/p>\n

There seems to be a puerile, romantic element to Reed’s description of himself to a Virginia newspaper in 1991:<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be invisible. I do guerrilla warfare. I paint my face and travel at night. You don\u2019t know it\u2019s over until you\u2019re in a body bag. You don\u2019t know until election night.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the information began to surface in the press and the Christian Coalition learned of the source of the $850,000 it had received, it demanded an explanation from Reed who apologized in a letter saying he should have \u201cexplained that the contributions came from the Choctaws,” admitting he had been fully aware of the source of the funding. But by the time Reed offered his \u201cafter-the-fact apology,\u201d the gambling initiative had been defeated and the Christian Coalition had been duped.<\/p>\n

Things got worse when e-mails showed that the casino Reed secretly helped Abramoff close was run by the Tiguas, whom Abramoff turned around and signed up as clients months later with promises that he could help them reopen their gambling operation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Antichrist’s central role in the Abramoff fiasco was fully\u00a0revealed<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>during a now infamous Senate investigation. The hearings also spotlighted the Marianas sweatshops, which led to reform via congressional action.\u00a0Fast forward to the 2012 presidential elections, and the Mariana Islands minimum wage plank is weirdly part of the 2012 Republican platform<\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em>When\u00a0the smoke cleared, Abramoff was behind bars, but Reed – miraculously- was left standing. Reed correctly notes that he has never been charged with a crime and implies that he had been fully investigated by John McCain\u2019s Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. But that is demonstrably false. According to sources, Reed was supposed to have been called before McCain\u2019s committee but Karl Rove intervened and threatened McCain not to call Reed. Reed was still an enormously powerful fund-raiser for the Republican Party.\u00a0His\u00a0satanic\u00a0trajectory, however, was derailed. His poll numbers plummeted. He was disgraced.<\/p>\n

“In 2005, the evangelical magazine World came under fire after it published an article about\u00a0[Ralph]\u00a0Reed\u00a0that concluded:<\/p>\n

“The portrait that emerges is one of a shrewd businessman who has spent years leveraging his evangelical and conservative contacts to promote the economic interests of his clients, rather than the principles of the political movement he once led.\u201d<\/p>\n

He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2006, the once mighty Reed was relegated to running for Georgia’s lieutenant governor, a second-tier office in a down-ballot race in an off year. When polls indicated Reed losing to a generic Democrat, and with Republicans became increasingly nervous that nominating Reed could nationalize the entire Georgia election and make it easy for Democrats to raise money country-wide to counter Reed’s war chest.\u00a0Party concern over Reed’s chilling effect on the entire GOP ticket prompted 21\u00a0of Georgia\u2019s Republican state senators to issue an open letter\u00a0calling on Reed to withdraw from the race; one even formally requesting the return of his $4000 contribution. Reed stayed in the race. His\u00a0brimstone foundation melting, he stayed in the race.<\/p>\n

The only support Reed could muster was from Rudy Giuliani and \u00a0Zell Miller, and\u00a0Mississippi’s lunatic-in-charge lunatic Haley Barbour. On\u00a0election night, the big names who\u2019d once groveled at his feet were nowhere to be seen, as were his diminished fundamentalist base. In a half-empty hotel ballroom, Reed conceded defeat before a scraggly bunch of downcast loyalists and a sobbing wife. In the end, voters punished Reed for the same kind of duplicitous political behavior he used to build campaigns against. In the end, Ralph Reed couldn\u2019t even fill a room.<\/p>\n

Reed\u2019s willful, unrepentant participation in Abramoff\u2019s schemes\u00a0didn\u2019t sit well with his church-going base, who found his hypocrisy too much to take, and even the \u201cThe Right Hand of God\u201d ultimately couldn\u2019t get himself out of this one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few years later, Ralph Reed dropped a hot pile of\u00a0slash fiction<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>upon the earth, a\u00a0bawdy\u00a0roman-\u00e0-clef<\/em> called\u00a0The Confirmation,<\/em> a\u00a0High\u00a0Supreme Court drama. It had Somali pirates, Iranian nuclear scientists, \u00a0\u201cyellow cake\u201d uranium (just like in pretend recent history), randy Dem senators and hot young interns, and high fashion. The Confirmation <\/em>is that creepy conservative political fiction sub-genre of alternate-history fantasy. “What would it look like if the\u00a0Democrats<\/em> were the lecherous scumbags?”. Take all the recent GOP scandals: briberies, elections fraud, anonymous gay sex in airport bathrooms, phone sex with male interns, meth, secret Argentinian lovers, Cheese Wiz fueled passion withLouisiana crack whores, $100k payoff’s to your mistress’ husband— but instead of\u00a0Republicans<\/em>, have it be the\u00a0Democrats<\/em> doing it. Ka-zing!<\/p>\n

So…..surely\u00a0even today\u2019s Republican party<\/em> could have welcomed the actual Antichrist <\/em>back into the ranks just 8 years after imploding in spectacular, biblical fashion?\u00a0Surely even todays Republican party <\/em>wouldn’t\u00a0accept back into their fold\u00a0the grunge-era huckster of manufacturing rube hysteria and gobbling up of Jack Abramoff lobbying fees to fund his hideous $2 million dollar house in Duluth. Right?<\/p>\n

Oh Ye, of little faith.\u00a0Republican leaders are lining up to kiss his ring and pander to his minions. It\u2019s a reminder that there is literally nothing a conservative can do to be permanently excluded from polite company.\u00a0By any reasonable measure, Republicans should avoid taking this lunatic’s phone calls. As Dave Weigel noted<\/a> <\/strong>last fall:<\/p>\n

\u201cReed was supposed to be dead, dead, dead. His 2006 defeat was covered as the effective end of a 45-year-old political strategist who was forever tainted by scandal.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rather than serving hard time, Reed is out painting himself as the hero of moral conservatives and championing the likes of Newt and Mitt and fucking Tom DeLay. It seems as if the”conservative” friends Reed fucked over in 2004 have forgiven his trespasses. His ties to Jack Abramoff are ” largely in the rear view mirror”, they say. So the AntiChrist is\u00a0out of his lair, looking for a bunch of morons to rob with his same old running buddies, like Steve Scheffler, the GOP’s Iowa National Committeeman, Iowa Christian Alliance’s President, and Iowa’s Faith & Freedom Coalition Fuher. Scheffler says about Reed\u2019s association with Abramoff :<\/p>\n

\u201cif you look at the whole explanation it was a nonissue, it was the press that made something out of nothing that was there.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Ralph does not like to talk about his connection<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0to Jack Abramoff.<\/p>\n

\"\"In 2008, 60% of caucus goers identified themselves as evangelical, propelling fatty Mike Huckabee to a surprise win over establishment candidate Mitt “Mittens” Romney. Later that year, Reed held a forum that was attended by nearly every Republican candidate: Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Pro-Life dipwads Ron Paul and Herman Cain, freak of Jesus Rick Perry. The Mormon wisely abstained. In\u00a0attendance was the AntiChrist’s Co-Chief Money Launderer Steve Scheffler, fresh from a a conjugal visit with crime partner Jack Abramahoff.<\/p>\n

Satans of A Different Cloth,\u00a0trying to pick each others pockets, money exchanging hands for fresh laundering at the Antioch Church. Ladies, Watch Your Purses! The keynote speaker was famous\u00a0propagandist historian, David Barton<\/a>.<\/strong> The GOP’s\u00a0favorite amateur historian<\/strong><\/a> (suck it, Newt), gave his usual King James Version of American History. God supposedly talks to Mr. Barton, so when will God ask Barton produce a historical work on the Abramoff\/Reed\u00a0scandal? When will anybody connected with Jack and Ralph\u00a0ever<\/em> tell the truth;<\/em> the whole truth and nothing but the truth; so help them God?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The AntiChrist was called in again, this time by a top-secret group of mega-rich and powerful individuals to assist in Governor Walker’s recall fight in Wisconsin. Cometh the preternaturally youthful operative, again cloaked in the cape of a Christian crusader, now 51, aged enough only to not arouse suspicion, possibly with some “work” done. Reed’s new\u00a0Faith & Freedom Coalition – <\/em>which Reed\u00a0describes<\/a><\/strong> as “a 21st century version of the Christian Coalition on steroids” \u00a0and\u00a0“not your daddy’s Christian Coalition” – purportedly activated\u00a0600,000 conservative Wisconsin voters in the recall fight, despite substantiated charges of corruption leveled against Walker. If you’re looking for reasons that the Walker recall effort failed, you’re looking at Ralph Reed.<\/p>\n

The newly activated Mr. Morally Superior “Christians-for-Hire” boasts a 5 million membership, massive database,full-time lobbyists in all fifty state capitals, and an annual budget of $100 million, a colossal effort aimed at putting in place a right-wing social agenda.<\/p>\n

Where is the money coming from, you ask? That money is funneled through so many \u00a0subterranean, untraceable tunnels, through Kochs and “non-profits” and evil CEOS, under the guise of a\u00a0shady company called “Century Strategies”, which is a subsidiary of that old\u00a0for-profit consulting firm<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>– Millenn<\/a>ium Marketing<\/a>,<\/strong> <\/span>a political consulting firm\u00a0whose CEO just happens to be <\/em>Ralph Reed. As Bill Moyers says:<\/p>\n

“The Right Hand of God doesn’t need to reveal what the left hand is doing.”.<\/p>\n

Reed’s short-term business strategy is to keep\u00a0evangelicals in the Republican fold by melding the old religious far-right loons with the modern Tea Party loons. Their strategies are, after all, similar: exploit the mobilizing effect of social issues on older Christian conservatives, while folding the issues into a larger agenda that emphasizes individual liberty and economic freedom against the stranglehold of “Big Government”. It’s the\u00a0same old foul confluence of radical-mean conservative religiosity coupled with a determination to make the rich richer. Although marketed as a “revolt of the fiscal conservative”, The Tea Party’s candidates turned out to be the same old religious nuts that Reed’s been recruiting for years:\u00a0Sharron Angle, Joe Miller, Christine The Witch, the guy in Colorado. Religious nuts, sailing under the Tea Party banner.<\/p>\n

\"\"Perhaps on the basis of his lifelong immoral and illegal acts, rather than despite them,\u00a0Reed\u00a0was tapped to speak at this year’s Republican National Convention, where he asked his faithful to pray for seventy two days straight to defeat President Obama. He did this despite the fact that he believes Mitt Romney belongs to a cult and that he\u00a0is not a Christian. Mittens, naturally, was delighted to accept Reed\u2019s support. Flashy now to the point of efete, Reed in Tampa was a thing reborn, lauded at Grover Norquist\u2019s “First National Center Right Meeting” aka right wing revival tent, in his tragic glory, sharing a stage\u00a0with crackpots Newt and Phyllis Schafley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reed is working his old grift – the smarmy, V05 line of rubber chicken poppycock. But it is a snake in a new, lime green Zoot suit,\u00a0Brylcreem<\/a> slick-backed hair. His missions this time: to give the Mormon nominee Jesus cred, because it seems that 1 in every 4 conservative christian is weirded out by Mormonism. The Christian Cleaner was called in to mindfuck Christians into believing that Mitt Romney \u00a0is really one of them, that Mr. Romney is actually an evangelical Christian.<\/p>\n

\u201dI am proud as an American, and particularly proud as a conservative evangelical, that we have nominated a ticket that is the first ticket in U.S. history without a Protestant on it.” – Ralph Reed, 2012<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reed has reportedly raised $12 million for the Romney campaign.<\/p>\n

“He is a liar and a thief of thieves. He makes an agreement and promises peace but then breaks his promise and deceives many.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0baby-faced,\u00a0disgraced false Xristian Xrazie who milked his flock for Abramoff is shearing a new flock, literally littering the country with mailers<\/a> <\/strong>(a real barn-burner, right wing grab bag of debunked, and malicious rhetoric, comparing the President’s policies to the threat of Nazi Germany and Japan circa World War II), texts and email subscriptions. His propaganda flier’s best\u00a0line is that, if Obama wins reelection:<\/p>\n

“He can complete America’s destruction”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The religious right has been the ground troops for the GOP since the the Jimmy Carter era, \u00a0but only in the past few decades has the extremist church served as the grassroots base for this breed of corporate totalitarianism. It doesn’t matter who<\/em> the Democrat is, they’re always outraged that one’s in office, and they always activate their mobilization network against him. The biggest advantage the Republicans have over the Democrats is the messianic intensity that it’s able to harness in linking its electoral base to the religious right. There is no close analogue to that in the Democratic party. Sometimes, someone like Clinton or Obama is able to articulate a powerful vision for why Democrats need to hang together. But in a party that has increasingly drawn upon the language of “reason” to make its case, there’s never\u00a0going to be an equivalent to those who believe:<\/p>\n

A) the shit that is in the Bible is real.<\/p>\n

B) that we are on the threshold of the apocalypse.<\/p>\n

C) that the election is a call from Jesus to suit up and wage war against the forces of evil.<\/p>\n

Establishment of a state religion is not conducive to, “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”\u00a0Ralph\u00a0Reed\u00a0and his disciples have endeavored to rebuild the ruins of their temple to the root of all evil. Iowa’s early presidential selection status is a foundation stone in the attempted resurrection of what the gospel according to\u00a0Reed\u00a0wrecked.\u00a0What\u00a0Reed\u00a0and his cult once cultivated is not and never been the major concern of the majority. To achieve their ends, infiltrate and take over a movement more in tune with desired political change. Their leadership is a short cut on the highway to hell.<\/p>\n

Republican Presidential candidate and gay rights activist Fred Karger has been spearheading an effort to expose from whom devils like Ralph\u00a0Reed\u00a0get their money. Hopefully. The “Anti-Romney” candidate, who said his campaign was run “specifically designed to throw a wrench into Romney’s run” was shut out of all the GOP’s reindeer games. Ralph Reed and other RNC members vowed to prevent him from running, threatening to keep Karger out of the race<\/a><\/strong> and intentionally shutting him out of Reed’s\u00a0presidential forum in Des Moines<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last month, the Crookedest Carpetbagger from Georgia, twas – alarmingly – given a platform on Meet the Press<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> Conservative enablers David Gregory and Fischer Martin listening to this smarm with his snake oil and Bibles call the president a liar. Do I care about what\u00a0Ralph Reed<\/em> thinks of the President’s honesty? Ralph Reed accusing Obama of dishonesty is a like Rush Limbaugh criticizing Michael Moore for being fat. I mean, was Snidely Whiplash unavailable? How about Don Blankenship? I mean, Jesus. Faux journalists, the perfect cowards. Scared of being called Liberal. Bowing to the God of false equivalency. Couldn’t ask a follow up if their lives depended on it. Of course their jobs don’t depend on it. Just let him smile and nod at\u00a0The gospel of the Green Back Dollar and Republican talking points.\u00a0I’ll tune in to MTP again when David\u00a0Gregory invites David Duke on to discuss civility and reconciliation between whites and African Americans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six\u2014but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reed is a monstrous liar and evildoer of monumental proportions. His blind ambition, and his willingness to use crime to further his own agenda have been in evidence ever since he was a rabble-rouser at U of Georgia. He marches on, Christian soldier to the end, turning the temple of faith into one big ATM. He tries to balance right-wing \u201cguerrilla\u201d who leaves his enemies in rhetorical body bags with moderate, devout family-man. There\u2019s a word for all this in the Bible:<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Abomination<\/em>.<\/span><\/div>\n

A true man of God would work to make this a better world rather than compound its problems. A true man of God would weep at a world full of human suffering; an unsustainable civilization threatened by environmental destruction; overpopulation, water, oil and industrial metal shortages; corporate third world exploitation; crumbling infrastructures; a deteriorating economy; political corruption; resource privatization, and so on. After 25 years, the Christian Coalition still lives in a foggy bubble world where the most critical issues as humans are\u00a0promoting Religious Fundamentalism, censorship, outlawing abortion and gay marriage, and packing the courts with neocon judges. How can the US get off the dime and regain leadership in tackling major world problems? \u00a0Problems it’s largely responsible for, by pursuing world empire for the last 60 years – when our political system is held hostage by extreme right wing Evangelical Christians.<\/p>\n

What can stop our Boy AntiChrist from reaping ever more damage upon this planet?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Churches.<\/strong> The idea that Jesus\u00a0would lie, cheat and steal, hate gays and Arabs, love guns and the death penalty and the wholesale slaughter of humans in oil-rich nations, stretches the imagination. Churches cannot tolerate forever the theft of Christ\u2019s legacy for ungodly GOP purposes, reading the calls to justice from the Hebrew prophets and the words of Jesus for themselves, absent the distortions of the Religious Right. \u00a0They know that it is impossible to reconcile Jesus’ call to be peacemakers, his concern for the tiniest sparrow or his injunction to care for “the least of these”, with the agenda of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

2. The Feds. <\/strong>They’ll demand to know where Ralph Reed gets – and who directs – \u00a0the money, where he got his lists, where his money really goes, who it connects to, where the people are clustered.\u00a0Exposing who pays Hell’s heating bills could prove more than just embarrassing….\u00a0Is this an op or not? How big are the lies they are hoisting? Is it across state lines? Where are his taxes? \u00a0Requesting “donations” from candidates to buy tables at “Christian” Alliance” fund raisers shows up on candidate campaign F. E. C. reports.<\/p>\n

3. The Sheeple.<\/strong> People will come to their fucking senses and start\u00a0papering car windows in church parking lot with fliers, just\u00a0just like they do. They will expose the charlatans, the wolves in sheep’s clothing, showing them a nice clear money map of the shell organizations and the corporate interests behind them.\u00a0Fiscal transparency through Hell’s smoke and roar could make Hell freeze over.<\/p>\n

4. The Church again.<\/strong> If all else fails, Priests armed with ancient daggers will hunt the Antichrist to the ends of the earth, killing Him before he can destroy us all.<\/p>\n

5. God.<\/strong> At some point God will ask: What would Jesus do with Ralph Reed?<\/p>\n

6. Himself.<\/strong> It must be lonely to be Ralph Reed. Ralph\u00a0doesn’t know what it’s like to have any friends that aren’t crooks, convicts, money launderers or free loaders. He is addicted to this life of greed and graft.\u00a0Perhaps Ralph Reed will really <\/em>“find God”, see the light, set upon a path of righteousness. Even the AntiChrist must be vulnerable to something? Beauty? A bird? His child?<\/p>\n

Denizens of God’s country: being lulled from the garden our forefathers created to the desert of eternal Totalitarianism awaits the unwary. The gate swings one way. Satan is offering an apple.\u00a0Beware of false prophets.\u00a0But watch out. Keep your children and pets indoors. Drink the blood of Christ and eat his flesh, for only if He is in you can defeat the son of the devil. He’s killed once, he’ll kill again. He’ll kill until everything that is yours is His<\/p>\n
