Weekly Update 4/27/24-The one with CNP in SoCal.

🚨CNP 🧵 1/16

People should be aware of the pervasive influence the Council for National Policy has in their lives.
3 members, Tony Perkins (FRC), Karen England (CRI), & Kimberly Fletcher (M4A), exert influence on SoCal communities.

Let’s see what they’ve been up to lately!

2/16
Perkins gave a guest sermon at Jack Hibbs Calvary Chapel this past Sunday. Jack Hibbs (TPUSA=CNP) is a Christian nationalist pastor heavily involved in SoCal school board politics.

3/16
At Chino Hills Calvary Chapel on Sunday, Perkins said the church was his “left coast home church,” called Hibbs his “battle buddy” and stated he and Hibbs are in
“constant contact.”

4/16
Perkins said he was in Israel 3 weeks ago, where he visited “sites of atrocities” and met with Netanyahu for an hour. He claims to have prayed over Netanyahu & that Netanyahu told him “we need the American church, because the administration is backing away.”

5/16
Perkins calls speaker Mike Johnson “a close personal friend” and blames Biden for Iran attacks. Throughout the sermon he jumps from Israel to crime in cities to “gender ideology” to “spiritual warfare” cracking jokes about skinny jeans and celebrities along the way.

6/16
“What we’re seeing today is the advancement of the doctrine of demons,” says Perkins, easily looping in outrage about Trans Day of Remembrance falling on Easter Sunday. Every section o/t sermon circles back to the need for Christians to vote & take control of institutions.

7/16
It’s a disturbing listen, mores because Perkins charisma is apparent, but worth hearing how CNP orgs like FRC partner w/both local churches & high-level gov’t officials 2 attempt a parallel political hierarchy.
Perkins is a featured SPLC extremist.

8/16
Meanwhile, another friend of Jack Hibbs & fellow CNP member Karen England (RW book ban queen doing speaking rounds at SoCal school board meetings) is currently attending a THINQ Media conference in Tennessee. ADF lawyer Kristen Waggoner is a key speaker there.



9/16
Waggoner argued the Masterpiece Cake shop case, which allowed discrimination against gay couples, at the Supreme Court.

10/16
Another THINQ speaker, Joel Penton, is the founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, a program that provides Bible education to public school students during school hours, blurring the once-clear boundary between church and state.



11/16
THINQ Media appears to be a kind of Christian Nationalist TED platform/series of conferences- founders Gabe & Rebekah Lyons feature NAR vocabulary on the site of parent company “Q Ideas.” Including “7 channels of culture” which shadow NAR’s 7 mountains.



12/16
While Karen England was busy in TN, Moms for America head & fellow CNP member Kimberly Fletcher was in Hungary for CPAC w/ Jack Posobiec, Paul Gosar, Rick Santorum & others. Fletcher was on a panel discussion titled “Gender Zero.”

13/16
Fletcher also appeared on panels at last week’s Leadership Institute, “Learn Right” Summit, which Sonja Shaw attended as well. At the Summit, Fletcher closed her comments by saying, “rise up peasants.”

14/16
Fletcher notably pled the 5th through her entire deposition regarding her group’s acquisition of permits for the January 6th ellipse rally. The deposition gives insight to just how involved Fletcher was in the capital insurrection.

15/16
Moms for America has been active in SoCal, hosting “cottage meetings” around the region. A local Ventura Co chapter is already threatening to bring book bans to school districts through its “Ambassador Program.” England and Fletcher (CNP) direct these “MamaBear” castoffs.

16/16
Perkins, Fletcher & England are all high-powered members o/t CNP, & each of their own orgs actively promote CNP efforts to subvert inclusive democracy & impose Christian supremacist hierarchies, hyper-locally & internationally. Follow for more updates on SoCal extremism.
