Stop Christian Nationalism

The Ziklag Elite


Listen Later

The Ziklag Elite is the first coordinated effort to unite wealthy donors to create a Christian Nationalist ruling class. The Ziklag Elite pushes for the Seven Mountains Mandate of the New Apostolic Reformation… and for special tax breaks and economic loopholes for America’s most powerful financial dynasties. The Ziklag Elite would create an American aristocracy in the name of Jesus.

Along the way, members of the Ziklag Elite want to create a Christian Nationalist big government system of centralized control over American culture. Members of Ziklag say that they intend to “take down the education system”, and to bring Hollywood under Christian Nationalist control.

Under the Ziklag Plan, 80% of American movies and television shows would be required to spread the message of Christian Nationalism. Ziklag also wants the federal government to require that all executives in movie and television studios are Christian Nationalists.

According to documents and video recordings obtained by ProPublica, in order to achieve its seizure of power, the Ziklag Elite plans to use its massive wealth to mobilize pro-Republican voters. Going even further, members of Ziklag have developed plans to prevent large numbers of other Americans from exercising their right to vote.

Ziklag’s Steeplechase project will encourage Christian churches across the country to break the law by making their congregations part of the Republican Party’s political machinery. A preacher working for the Ziklag Elite says that the group will “coordinate extensive pastor and church outreach through pastor summits, church-focused messaging and events and the creation of pastor resources …We need a church that’s willing to do anything and everything to get to the point where we reclaim that which was stolen from us.”

The Ziklaq Elite is also funded by other Christian Nationalist organizations. One of these is the extremist organization WaterStone, which is in turn funded by Fidelity Investments, which sends checks to the Christian Nationalist organization for six million dollars each. Fidelity Investments is heavily invested in other projects of Christian Nationalism extremism as well, having given at least $100,000 to the racist white nationalist magazine American Renaissance between 2015 and 2019.

Thank you to ProPublica for their research into the dangerous Christian Nationalism of Ziklag.
