Today is January 4, 2017 Everything seems to be moving pretty fast, so let's jump right into the new year, shall we? The Messianic Prophecy Bible Project, a ministry in Israel, sent this on 12/29. The head of ISIS stated that their NUMBER ONE goal is to conquer Jerusalem (where our ministry is located), kill all of the Jews and then take over the whole land of Israel and kill every single Jew. "We will find you in every house, behind every bush, he said." We will kill every one of you; that is why God brought you Jews back to Israel. ---------- Honestly, and please don't take me wrong, I understand the situation Israel is in and I love and pray for the people of Israel, but I do not worry about Israel being wiped off the planet. I also love and pray for those who hate Israel; not to support their hate or their agenda, God actually wants us to love them apart from their hate and agenda. They make up a portion of the world he so loved that he sent his only begotten son. If Biblical prophecy is true, then the little nation of Israel will never be wiped off the face of the Earth ever again. Israel, as a standing nation, is under God's care and he will not allow it. The nations that hate Israel, on the other hand, have a very huge problem. As you will see in the articles, the United States - under the Obama administration - has taken sides with those who hate Israel, and also hate the United States. After all, Israel is the “Little Satan” and America is the “Big Satan” for those who hate Israel. I do not mean to bring anyone down, just don't allow yourself to fall into denial

  • Reportedly at the Hands of White Nationalists
    TRUMP AND HIS SURROGATES LOUDLY PEDDLED DEBUNKED RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY THEORIES TIED TO QANON AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS, GIVING THEM FALSE LEGITIMACY SUMMARY As Trump and his allies searched for justifications to claim electoral victory, the far-right online community played a pivotal role in originating claims for the campaign to push. Conspiracies from white supremacists, QAnon supporters, and long-time conspiracy theorists were elevated, disseminated, and pushed out by the president and his allies. There seems to be a direct flow from the furthest right reaches of the internet and the official spokespeople of the president —including the president himself — such as: • The president promoting numerical figures developed by “TheDonald.Win” — an online community founded to openly post hate speech and calls to violence — in an attempt to prove his false voter fraud claims. • Promoting “Stop The Steal” events planned by white supremacists, including one that led to a stabbing reportedly at the hands of white nationalists. • Lending credibility to the mysterious, propagandic twitter account “Election Wizard,” which promotes election conspiracy theories and follows noted white supremacists and QAnon accounts. • Using a QAnon promoted conspiracy to fire a top elections cybersecurity official.

    Super PACs and 501(c) Groups in the 2016 Election David B. Magleby* Brigham Young University Paper presented at the “State of the Parties: 2016 and Beyond”, Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, University of Akron. November 9-10, 2017. *I would like to acknowledge the research assistance of Hyrum Clarke, Ben Forsgren, John Geilman, Jake Jensen, Jacob Nielson, Blake Ringer, Alena Smith, Wen Je (Fred) Tan, and Sam Williams all BYU undergraduates. Data made available by the Center for Responsive Politics was helpful as were two interviews with Robert Maguire, whose expertise in political nonprofits was informative. 1 Super PACs and 501(c) Groups in the 2067 Election David B. Magleby Brigham Young University In only a short period of time, Super PACs have come to be one of the most important parts of American electoral politics. They raise and spend large sums of money in competitive federal elections. They have become fully integrated teammates with candidates, party leaders, and interest groups. While initially they were most visible in paying for television advertising, by 2016 they expanded their scope by providing a wide variety of campaign services once thought to be funded by candidate campaign committees (campaign events) or party committees, (get-out-the-vote, voter registration, list development). Where does the money come from that funds Super PACs and other outside groups? While much of the attention on sources of funding for Super PACs was initially on corporations and unions, the reality has been that most of the funding for Super PACs has been individuals. Publicly traded corporations have been infrequent funders of Super PACs, while unions have been more active in using Super PACs.

  • The King's Revolution
    THE KING’S REVOLUTION: A Prolegomenon On De-Democratization At The Dawn Of The 21st Century Jonah Benjamini [email protected] 415.307.7005 April 2021 Department of Sociology In Partial Fulfillment Of Haverford College Requirements for the Haverford, PA 19041 Degree Bachelor of Arts Abstract The 21st century has seen a global resurgence of right-wing populist movements that challenge extant democratic institutions, making the search for a systematic approach to these ‘democratic-backsliding’ events of ever-increasing importance. This paper defines the phenomenon under examination as revolutionary to employ a general theoretical framework through which de-democratization may be analyzed and proactively addressed: (1) strain, an opportunity structure, an authorizing belief, and precipitating factors constitute the necessary and sufficient conditions for the genesis of intra-state revolutionary activity; (2) an authorizing social movement elects a candidate who then affects a revolution from within along a developmental progression from a redefinition of executive powers, to a reorganization of the political collectivity, then a redefinition of institutionalized norms, and finally a total revolution of the base values that enable a radically different authority structure; (3) the sustainability of the anti-democratic movement is determined by its ability to garner legitimation from the societal community by a set of subterranean values, justification through patrimonial allegiances within a formal bureaucracy, and surplus product from the economy. This scheme is applied to the contemporary United States, where it is argued the 2016 election of Donald Trump and his activity in office manifest latent proto- fascist conditions in the first stages of what might become a more radical revolution within the state.

  • Participatory Propaganda Model 1
    A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 1 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Alicia Wanless Michael Berk Director of Strategic Communications, Visiting Research Fellow, SecDev Foundation Centre for Cyber Security and International [email protected] Relations Studies, University of Florence [email protected] Paper presented at the "Social Media & Social Order, Culture Conflict 2.0" conference organized by Cultural Conflict 2.0 and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway on 1 December 2017, Oslo. To be published as part of the conference proceedings in 2018. A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 2 Abstract Existing research on aspects of propaganda in a digital age tend to focus on isolated techniques or phenomena, such as fake news, trolls, memes, or botnets. Providing invaluable insight on the evolving human-technology interaction in creating new formats of persuasive messaging, these studies lend to an enriched understanding of modern propaganda methods. At the same time, the true effects and magnitude of successful influencing of large audiences in the digital age can only be understood if target audiences are perceived not only as ‘objects’ of influence, but as ‘subjects’ of persuasive communications as well. Drawing from vast available research, as well as original social network and content analyses conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, this paper presents a new, qualitatively enhanced, model of modern propaganda – “participatory propaganda” - and discusses its effects on modern democratic societies. Keywords: propaganda, Facebook, social network analysis, content analysis, politics A PARTICIPATORY PROPAGANDA MODEL 3 Participatory Propaganda: The Engagement of Audiences in the Spread of Persuasive Communications Rapidly evolving information communications technologies (ICTs) have drastically altered the ways individuals engage in the public information domain, including news ways of becoming subjected to external influencing.

Rhetoric commands our world. This dissertation project manifests four features. First, it reveals America’s promise through rhetorical artifact texts. Second, the project presents an academic investigation—America’s moves towards its promise. Third, it recounts the continuing injustices suffered by women and peoples of color, all hidden behind (rhetorical) masks, that continue to plague America. And fourth, this collection altogether serves as a pedagogical primer on rhetoric. Founding documents and public monuments serve as a ruse that masks injustice and inequality.

  • The Money Primary in 2019 and 2020 David B. Magleby, Brigham Young University Abstract Presidential Candidates in 2020 Have Adop
    The Money Primary in 2019 and 2020 David B. Magleby, Brigham Young University Abstract Presidential candidates in 2020 have adopted fundraising strategies consistent with their ideology and core support. The range is from self-funded billionaire candidates to an increasing emphasis on small individual donors. The “money primary” as a marker for candidate viability is well known but in 2019 and 2020, Democratic National Committee rules made small donor fundraising a condition for participation in televised candidate debates. President Trump, whose reelection fundraising began soon after he took office in 2017, has made raising money from large donors, including Super PAC donors, a higher priority while expanding his contributions from small donors and joint fundraising with the Republican National Committee. It is uncertain if Super PACs and social welfare groups will spend substantial sums in the 2020 nomination contest, unlike 2012 and 2016 when they were major participants. Taken together the 2020 contest has a highly competitive money primary for the top tier of candidates. Fundraising success has closely tracked candidates standing in the polls. Preliminary draft, not for citation without author permission. Prepared for delivery at the Iowa Caucus Conference, Department of Political Science, University of Iowa, February 1-3, 2020. 1 The Money Primary in 2019 and 2020 David B. Magleby, Brigham Young University1 Before the first votes are cast in the Iowa caucuses or New Hampshire primary, a great deal of attention is given to who is doing well and not so well in raising money—the money primary. For example, in its regular feature the “State of the Race,” the New York Times compares candidates in 2020 on three dimensions: polling average of five national polling organizations,2 individual contributions, and weekly media which is a measure of being talked about on cable television.3 The feature also has a check mark by the candidates who have qualified for the next presidential debate (Lee, Daniel, Liberman, Migliozzi and Burns, 2020).

  • The Public in Peril
    The Public in Peril This is one of the first books to critique thoroughly the rise of Trumpism and its potential impact, nationally and globally. One of the world’s leading social critics, Giroux offers new critiques of Trump and his cabinet choices in the context of longer-term trends, including the rise of right-wing populism, the threat of planetary peril, anti-intellectual fervor, the war on youth, a narrowing political discourse, deepening inequality and disposability, authoritarianism, the crisis of civic culture, the rise of the mass incarceration state, and more. Giroux dissects the diverse forces that led to Trump’s rise and points to pathways for resisting his authoritarian instincts. Offering a new language of hope and possibility, Giroux’s optimism is rooted especially in the resurgence of progressive politics among youth. Giroux reclaims the centrality of education to politics and boldly articulates a vision in which the radical imagination merges with civic courage as part of a broad-based struggle for a radical democracy. Deep inquiries into fast-changing and pressing issues of our time make this book ‘the essential Giroux’ that citizens and students must read, debate, and act upon. Henry A. Giroux is currently the McMaster University Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest and the Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy. His most recent books include Dangerous Thinking in the Age of the New Authoritarianism (2015), co- authored with Brad Evans, Disposable Futures: The Seduction of Violence in the Age of Spectacle (2015), and America at War with Itself (2017).
