WEEKLY👉🏼SoCal👈🏼UPDATE
SCEW reports this week on the convergence of religious extremists, media outlets, and recognized dark money organizations exerting influence on our societal landscape.
Let’s kick this week off with the CNP and end it with some #UCLA dirt. 1/
When dark money & Christian nationalist team up to manipulate unsuspecting parents and grandparents, you just know the CNP is involved!
Heritage, California Family Council, and California Policy Center collaborate to offer “parents rights” training, but there’s a kicker. 2/17 
These panel members are advertised as
“grassroots,” which starkly contradicts their actual affiliations and origins.
Schenkoske, a podcaster, is just a crackpot homeschool mom who does research on the internet.
I guess that’s grassroots? 3/17
 
Fellow CNP member Rob McCoy, is advertising a speaking engagement with top New Apostolic Reformation #NAR leaders.
Jennifer Donnelly runs Her Voice MVMT, which believes the nation is in crisis because abortion is still legal in most states and LGBTQ+ people exist. 4/17 
“The agenda for Donnelly, in particular, is to roll back the LGBTQ rights movement, which she insists is a Satanic slippery slope to pedophilia.” 5/17

Donnelly’s #NAR rhetoric is being spread and watered down through other Christian nationalist groups like “She Leads”, a newer Christian astroturf org forming state chapters, including one in California. 6/17 
“She Leads” honored Jessica Tapia, a CA teacher fired for refusing to follow state laws that conflicted w/her extreme Christian views. “She Leads” mirrors #NAR 7 mountain dominion theology on its website. 7/17
Back to CNP member Rob McCoy. Just 9 days ago he lead an evening with PERK & ex-dem presidential candidate, Assad apologist, & homophobic yoga cult member Tulsi Gabbard, who appears to be the shiny new right wing grifter. 8/17 
Not only does Godspeak host an evening with Gabbard, but the local right leaning paper @TOAcornNews publishes a puff piece on the extremist event. 9/17
Gabbard has a wild extremist past and throughout her varied career, she has maintained ties with it. You should give her story a read and listen. 10/17

PERK also threw a $250/pop Gabbard event in DTLA w/ RW guests Bill Essayli (Ca Policy Center) and Halla Maher (VC GOP) & Sonja Shaw. Gabbard honed her politics through anti-gay activism in Hawaii, and is now utilizing this angle in anti-LGBTQ+ circles to sell her book. 11/17
As Tulsi Gabbard makes her rounds, upheaval at #UCLA occurred when Zionist disrupted peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters, attacking their encampments with violence and throwing fireworks into their area while police looked on. 12/17

The slow police response is questionable given law enforcement was allegedly working with Israeli para-military subsidized security company Magen am. 13/17

SCEW can’t confirm whether Aaron Cohen of Magen am armed security was actually working with LE, or embellishing his non-profits’ role on #UCLA campus that night, but he does lay out his plan to disrupt peaceful protesters…. with Dr Phil? 14/17 
Dr. Phil’s involvement is not shocking given he partnered w/one of the top 3 Christian nationalist media companies to establish Merit Street Media. 15/17
This alliance between Zionist and Christian media indicates that Christian nationalists are now proactively endeavoring to undermine any opposition to Israeli policies. 16/17
And just recently, Tony Perkins from the CN org Family Research Council joined forces with MAGA pastor Jack Hibbs to discuss his encounter with Netanyahu. During this meeting, Netanyahu explicitly stated that the church must actively support Israel. 17/17

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.” pic.twitter.com/UQyCJhZm0F
