Lockdown at the US Capitol

[TX-Beau]

The FBI arrested Paul Caloia after Sedition Hunters identified him as one of the insurrectionists who broke in through one of the Capitol windows on Jan 6th.

Mr Caloia had an OnlyFans account under the name CashGodHypnotic where he enticed gay men to send him money in exchange for pics of his feet, as part of a "findom" fetish, where he posted profound statements like, "You're a dumb Fag and you know it. You live to serve alpha straight men. Why is that ? Findom Cashfag Faggot paypig atm", "I want fags deep in trance: worship. Send bitcoin" and "Feet. Findom. Hypnosis. real Fags Use bitcoin".

Paul Caloia, who went by the name "GodHypnotic," was "bragging" in a Skype chat about taking part in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, an FBI affidavit said.

Did someone pay money?

For THAT!

I guess with all that greasiness, you'd save on lube.

It figures that he was also one of those abusive findom freaks as well.

I had to look that up. You learn something new every day. I still can't see how anyone would worship that.

He had a bunch of his OnlyFans videos up on one of the tube sites. The videos got quickly deleted this morning. Not before I saw a few of them.

Part of his findom daddy schtick was that he apparently had hygiene issues. His greasy unwashed dirty clothes self camshows would include the "slaves" that he was interacting during their findom sessions.

Not only did his slaves pay for the sessions, they had their faces and, in some cases, naked bodies and their names shown on the OF videos while they sent him bitcoin or cash via Paypal.

When I see these guys who traveled to DC on Jan 6th, I think of the phrases, "The best people" and "Good people on both sides".

The next time you hear someone shovel shit like, "I don't like Trump but I liked his policies", remind them that they're on the same side as gay porn models like Sargeant Miles and this stinky guy in Mississippi who showed his junk for gay guys:

The latest issue of The Atlantic has a good essay by Tim Alberta about why there are so many lost and misguided evangelicals supporting guys like Donald Trump, Ken Paxton and Ron DeSantis while abandoning their more traditional conservative heroes like Asa Hutchinson and Mike Pence. The article also talks about something that the mainstream press hasn't mentioned: in addition to groups like the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers, there was a significant presence of evangelical Christians at the Jan 6th Insurrection.

My Father, My Faith, and Donald Trump

Here, in our house of worship, people were taunting me about politics as I tried to mourn.

www.theatlantic.com

In 2019, Alberta was on a book tour for "American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump". After doing an interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, he found out that his father, an evangelical minister at Cornerstore Church in Michigan, had passed away unexpectedly.

In the The Atlantic article, he talks about members of his father's church confronting him at his father's funeral about the book and Alberta's criticism of Trump. After the funeral, he was given a letter from one of his father's congregants:

He had composed this note, on the occasion of my father’s death, to express just how disappointed he was in me. I was part of an evil plot, the man wrote, to undermine God’s ordained leader of the United States. My criticisms of President Trump were tantamount to treason—against both God and country—and I should be ashamed of myself.

However, there was still hope. Jesus forgives, and so could this man. If I used my journalism skills to investigate the “deep state,” he wrote, uncovering the shadowy cabal that was supposedly sabotaging Trump’s presidency, then I would be restored. He said he was praying for me.

I felt sick. Silently, I passed the letter to my wife. She scanned it without expression. Then she flung the piece of paper into the air and, with a shriek that made the church ladies jump out of their cardigans, cried out: “What the hell is wrong with these people?”

Alberta's father's replacement at the church was a pastor named Chris Winans, who was more of a social gospel adherent who was more interested in the teachings from the Sermon on the Mount than the prosperity gospel of Jerry Falwell Jr and the like.

Winans told me, he was barely hanging on at Cornerstone. The church had become unruly; his job had become unbearable. Not long after Dad died—making Winans the unquestioned leader of the church—the coronavirus pandemic arrived. And then George Floyd was murdered. All of this as Donald Trump campaigned for reelection. Trump had run in 2016 on a promise that “Christianity will have power” if he won the White House; now he was warning that his opponent in the 2020 election, former Vice President Joe Biden, was going to “hurt God” and target Christians for their religious beliefs. Embracing dark rhetoric and violent conspiracy theories, the president enlisted prominent evangelicals to help frame a cosmic spiritual clash between the God-fearing Republicans who supported Trump and the secular leftists who were plotting their conquest of America’s Judeo-Christian ethos.

People at Cornerstone began confronting their pastor, demanding that he speak out against government mandates and Black Lives Matter and Joe Biden. When Winans declined, people left. The mood soured noticeably after Trump’s defeat in November 2020. A crusade to overturn the election result, led by a group of outspoken Christians—including Trump’s lawyer Jenna Ellis, who later pleaded guilty to a felony charge of aiding and abetting false statements and writings, and the author Eric Metaxas, who suggested to fellow believers that martyrdom might be required to keep Trump in office—roiled the Cornerstone congregation. When a popular church staffer who had been known to proselytize for QAnon was fired after repeated run-ins with Winans, the pastor told me, the departures came in droves. Some of those abandoning Cornerstone were not core congregants. But plenty of them were. They were people who served in leadership roles, people Winans counted as confidants and friends.

By the time Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Winans believed he’d lost control of his church. “It’s an exodus,” he told me a few weeks later, sitting inside Brighton Bar & Grill.

The pastor had felt despair—and a certain liability—watching the attack unfold on television. Christian imagery was ubiquitous: rioters forming prayer circles, singing hymns, carrying Bibles and crosses. The perversion of America’s prevailing religion would forever be associated with this tragedy; as one of the legislative ringleaders, Senator Josh Hawley, explained in a speech the following year, long after the blood had been scrubbed from the Capitol steps, “We are a revolutionary nation precisely because we are the heirs of the revolution of the Bible.”

Alberta's article concludes that the question we've all been asking, "How is it possible that Trump is running again and gets up to 80% support from white evangelical Christians over Joe Biden, who has always been very vocal about his own Christianity?". His conclusion is that evangelicals have compartmentalized their religious beliefs and are now Republican Nationalists first and Christians second.

We both kept quiet for a little while. And then I asked [Winans} something I’d thought about every day for the previous 18 months—a sanitized version of my wife’s outburst in the living room.

“What’s wrong with American evangelicals?”

Winans thought for a moment.

“America,” he replied. “Too many of them worship America.”

The Only Thing More Dangerous Than Authoritarianism

The forces of Christian nationalism are now ascendant both inside the Church and inside the Republican Party.

www.theatlantic.com

The corruption of American Christianity is nothing new: Modern-day pharisees from Jerry Falwell Sr. to Paula White have spent 50 years weaponizing the gospel to win elections and dominate the country, exploiting the cultural insecurities of their unwitting brethren for political, professional, and financial gain, all while reducing the gospel of Jesus Christ to a caricature in the eyes of unbelievers. The resulting collapse of the Church’s reputation in this country—with Sunday attendance, positive perceptions of organized religion, and the number of self-identified Christians all at historic lows—leaves evangelicals estranged from their secular neighbors like never before. Unbelievers might well prefer it this way. They might be tempted to shrug and move along, assuming that the crack-up of evangelicalism isn’t their problem. They are mistaken.

The crisis at hand is not simply that Christ’s message has been corroded, but that his Church has been radicalized. The state-ordered closings of sanctuaries during COVID-19, the conspiracy-fueled objections to Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, the misinformation around vaccines and educational curricula—these and other culture-war flash points have accelerated notions of imminent Armageddon inside American Christendom. A community that has always felt misunderstood now feels marginalized, ostracized, even persecuted. This feeling is not relegated to the fringes of evangelicalism. In fact, this fear—that Christianity is in the crosshairs of the government, that an evil plot to topple America’s Judeo-Christian heritage hinges on silencing believers and subjugating the Church—now animates the religious right in ways that threaten the very foundations of our democracy.

We have been sounding the alarm about this for decades.

The evangelicals have weaponized christianity and have in turn, been weaponized by evil people who understand how the mob can be used.

I happened upon another thread in the forum with hand-wringing about Muslim elected officials, which is what made me think of the Alberta articles I read last week. It's amazing that a lot of people see the dangers in Islamist extremism but they're blind to what is happening with Christian Nationalism in the US/Europe or Orthodox Jewish extremism in Israel.

It was just a little over 3 years ago that I was posting about those weird "Q" signs that were showing up at Trump's Nationalist rallies and wondering what that was all about. Little did we know how bad it was and how deep this stuff had gotten into the churches during the Trump years.

Pardon me. I'll finish reading this post after I'm done counting how many Commandments those "evangelical Christians" broke that day.

Pardon me. I'll finish reading this post after I'm done counting how many Commandments those "evangelical Christians" broke that day.

But isn't that one of the signs of a cult following a messianic leader? The ends always justifies the breaking of the rules?

Well, as the line goes... "There was only one Hilter and that was Hitler. There was only one..." and you can insert Jim Jones, David Koresh and Rev Moon into that same sentence.

But none of these guys were originals. They were just the latest incarnation. We can see that. Apparently, there are others who see them and see Jesus.... or Mohammed... or Maimonides... or whatever prophet they prefer.

Unfortunately, Steve Bannon, who also got 4 months for the same offense, was allowed bail and is out pending appeal. They'll do the same probably for Navarro. They're all hoping they get (another) round of Trump pardons in 2025.

All of these idiots hitching their wagon to the Orange Supremacists end up taking the fall for him. When will they learn?

I was wondering why he brought his cat to the Capitol.

Never mind.

But yeah...his crying like a little bitch is a pretty far cry from all of his social media posts blaming everyone but himself for his actions on the 6th.

Oh yeah, he is allowed to remain at large and no question but that he, Bannon and a host of others need Trump or similarly minded MAGAt Veep who becomes Prez when Trump is carted off to prison for State level crimes and is impeached, to pardon all of them.
