  • Homeland Fascism Today: an Introduction”
    Editor’s Preface “Homeland Fascism Today: An Introduction” Jeff Shantz There is a certain complacency, perhaps arro- gance, among commentators in the United States concerning the prospects for violent uprisings or mo- bilizations in the US. It is widely held that violent uprisings, coups, oppositional movements, will not, even cannot, emerge or take hold in the United States. America is viewed as a stable system with democratic checks and balances and a civil makeup mitigating against such dramatic eruptions in the body politic. Furthermore, truly oppositional move- ments are viewed as being too small, too marginal, or too trivial to pose a real challenge to the liberal democratic order of things in the United States. There are some recurring factors that historically appear as what might be preconditions for dramatic social upheaval and change. These are: extreme eco- nomic inequality; significant, major economic or po- litical crisis or shock, usually unexpected; a middle iii IV | HOMELAND FASCISM strata that feels threatened or is experiencing eco- nomic threats (Judson 2009, 174). Conflict can be triggered by a dramatic event such as a coup d’état, ri- ots, a terrorist attack, etc. (Judson 2009, 174). Responses to these issues are also important. Does the middle strata mobilize against specific scapegoats (migrants, minorities, unionists, etc.) or focus anger at a ruling elite? Does the government lose legitimacy or offer a believable remedy to the problems? Does it maintain legalistic means or resort to force and vio- lence? Conditions typically giving rise to upheaval are present throughout US society. Millions have lost jobs and others the prospect of finding jobs that pay a sus- tainable living wage and/or offer some financial secu- rity.

  • The Origin and Development of Prison Fellowship International
    The Origin and Development of Prison Fellowship International: Pluralism, Ecumenism and American Leadership in the Evangelical World 1974-2006 Kendrick Oliver (University of Southampton) In spring 1974, as Watergate prosecutors began to issue indictments against Nixon administration aides and the US House of Representatives considered whether the President himself should be impeached, the prominent liberal writer Richard Goodwin visited Washington, DC. The mood was sombre, but even in the ‘grimmest gathering of political sophisticates,’ he noted, a laugh could still be guaranteed. One only had to refer to the religious conversion of Charles Colson, former Special Counsel to the President. Colson was widely associated with the partisan excesses of the Nixon administration and with its efforts – some of them illegal - to undermine and stigmatize any sources of opposition to the Presidential will. The Wall Street Journal had referred to him as ‘Nixon’s hatchet man’.1 As prosecutors closed in, however, Colson announced he had accepted Jesus Christ into his life. Goodwin observed that the story ‘was sure to touch off an instant competition of Buchwald- style one-liners, tinged, nevertheless, by a slight underglow of professional appreciation for what appears to me a supreme con.’2 Doubts about the authenticity of Colson’s conversion never entirely disappeared. Within a couple of years, after Colson had served a seven-month prison term, published his conversion narrative, Born Again, and established a ministry directed towards prison inmates,

  • The Family the Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power 1St Edition Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    THE FAMILY THE SECRET FUNDAMENTALISM AT THE HEART OF AMERICAN POWER 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jeff Sharlet | 9780060560058 | | | | | The Family The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power 1st edition PDF Book In response to a question the Bishop said and I paraphrase that certainty was not a good thing. Many readers will be shocked and dismayed at the inroads that have already been made. The questions were, where and when to begin. Be prepared to take your time accumulating all the information Sharlet has unearthed. For His pleasure, nothing else. Not here. This is a must read. What i had heard of this book and expected was the sort of conspiracy you might find in a Dan Brown novel. They can get away with it because there is nothing to tie the Family to these dictators. The Family is an important read because it exposes a form of Fundamentalism unlike any you know. The true story of fundamentalism in America and its manifestation in the halls of power today is well researched and frightening in its implications for the way things get done in certain spheres of influence. Refresh and try again. One of the reasons is that very few people even know the Family exists, not because they are secretive but simply because they do not talk about it. That was what Jesus said. Not shocking is the list of folks that have had ties to the family, lots of good Washington folk, past and present. Sharlet is disingenuous at times. I'm a contributing editor for Harper's and Rolling Stone and I also write about music for Oxford American, politics for The Nation, and media for The Revealer, a review of religion and the press published by the New York University Center for Religion and Media, where I'm an associate research scholar.

(AECOM) of Arlington County, Virginia conducted a cultural resources survey of Lee Highway (US Route 29), in Arlington County, between January 2019 and February 2020. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey is a component of the larger “Plan Lee Highway” project, a long-range plan and comprehensive vision for the Lee Highway corridor conducted by AECOM for the CPHD. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey consisted of the following tasks: 1) Meetings; 2) Background Research; 3) Field Investigation; and 4) Report of Findings. The survey was conducted by AECOM’s Secretary of the Interior (SOI)-qualified architectural historians, who attended numerous in- person and telephone meetings with CPHD staff as well as three public meetings, and submitted weekly progress reports to the CPHD during the field work phase. Working with both CPHD staff and the general public, AECOM developed a list of 120 resources (buildings, structures, objects, and sites) within the Plan Lee Highway study area to be researched, surveyed, and documented either at the reconnaissance level (105) or in-depth level (15).

This is not the original version of the Pledge of Allegiance. However, it is now the version in which elementary schools across America recite and teach. Why would a country, which holds freedom as its greatest priority, limit citizens from all religious backgrounds into saying they pledge their allegiance under God; under one God? How did we, as a nation, begin identifying a God to “be under”? Often in the media we see, hear, and read about other countries, which do not claim separation of church and state, struggling between politics and religious groups.
