America in "2024" is haunted by the spectre of Christian Fascism, indeed such was always the case!

Simultaneously death strides across the planet unchecked and indeed supported by powerful right-wing forces who even pretend that they want to renew American Civilization as described in the benighted Newt Gingrich in his 1993 book Renewing American Civilization, the contents and totalizing purposes of which are described in great detail in the 2025 project which as per Gingrich's early totalizing manifesto is promoted by the benighted Heritage (lies, lies, and more lies) Foundation.

I have always been horrified by applied politics of right-wing Christians, especially in the US and how they were dramatized with murderous effect in Central & South America as described or pointed to in this reference which describes the applied politics of the former (but now renamed) School of the America's http://www.soaw.org

One particular book confirmed my horror. It was/is the little known (1997 book by Linda Kintz titled Between Jesus and the Market - The EMOTIONS (my emphasis) That Matter in Right-Wing America. Using copious quotes/references to all of the benighted characters and their movements Linda describes in great detail dark totalizing vision. One thing that is interesting in "2024" that many/most of the characters and their movements described in that book are now in one way or another connected to the 2025 project.

That totalizing project was even quite recently mooted/described by the benighted Chris Rufo in his

Conservative (sic) Manifesto.

Please also find an incomplete list of books which describe and warn us against such applied right-wing Christian politics.

1. Christian Fascism - Right Wing Christians and Their War Against America by Chris Hedges - Chris recently re-amplified the warnings described in that book.

2. American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips

3. The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart.

4,. Unholy by Sarah Posner

5. Jesus & John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez

6. Taking America Back For God by Whitehead & Perry

7. Defending Democracy Against Its Enemies by David Gushee

8. The Undertow by Jeff Sharlet - and his other 2 books including The Family

9. White Too Long by Robert P Jones the convenor of the always excellent religiondispathes website

10. The Kingdom The Power & The Glory by Tim Alberta

This website which describes the behind the scenes power-and-control machinations of the benighted outfit opus dei. http://www.odan.org

There are of course many more such references and essays too including the book by David Yallop titled The Power & the Glory- The Dark Heart of JPII's Vatican - JPII essentially provided the idelogical justifications for the applied politics of the former School of the America's
