Did the Qanon conspiracy theory’s most ridiculous elements have come from Evangelical Christianity?

PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM: “Is Capitalism The Virus? with Richard Wolff” / Thom Hartmann Program / Thom Hartmann ☮
Why didn’t the invisible hand of the free market save us from the Corona virus pandemic? Why wasn’t a cure invented that saved everyone from the illness and made a large profit? Because capitalism doesn’t work like that, Richard Wolff explains how the real sickness is the system!
PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM: “Republicans Struggle to Reboot Their ‘Small Government, Personal Responsibility’ Scam; Will Americans Buy It Again?” / Thom Hartmann / MUST READ! ☮
Joe Scarborough, on his morning TV show, had a roundtable with George Will and David Frum in which these three old conservative war horses discussed the possibility of the Republican Party returning to its “conservative values.”
Those values they identified included balanced budgets, personal responsibility, and small government. It’s important for Americans to understand what conservatives mean when they use these words.

PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM: “YOU are in a New Global Crisis, but Don’t Know it with Richard Wolff” / Thom Hartmann Program / Thom Hartmann ☮
The Federal Reserve is buying junk bonds to keep business in business, causing a new global crisis. This is desperate action and building up a massive debt. This is the third economic crash this century. The corporate debt is so large, that they are zombie companies, which are technically bankrupt.

The number of Americans who call themselves Christians or even religious has sharply declined over the last decade and it looks like it is big money pushing people away from their faith.
WHITE-WING REPUBLICAN CONSERVATISM: “The Ignored Legacy of George H.W. Bush: War Crimes, Racism, and Obstruction of Justice” / The Intercept / Mehdi Hasan ☮
[George H. W. Bush] was a public, not a private, figure — one of only 44 men to have ever served as president of the United States. We cannot, therefore, allow his actual record in office to be beautified in such a brazen way. “When a political leader dies, it is irresponsible in the extreme to demand that only praise be permitted but not criticisms,” as my colleague Glenn Greenwald has argued, because it leads to “false history and a propagandistic whitewashing of bad acts.” The inconvenient truth is that the presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush had far more in common with the recognizably belligerent, corrupt, and right-wing Republican figures who came after him — his son George W. and the current orange-faced incumbent — than much of the political and media classes might have you believe.
Consider:
– He ran a racist election campaign.
– He made a dishonest case for war.
– He committed war crimes.
– He refused to cooperate with a special counsel.
– He escalated the racist war on drugs.
Facts–not uninformed opinions–matter!!!
Headlines have largely glossed over and ignored other parts of Bush’s legacy. We look at the 1991 Gulf War, Bush’s pardoning of six Reagan officials involved in the Iran-Contra scandal and how a racist election ad helped him become president. We speak with Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan.
“Remembering George H.W. Bush’s Inaction on AIDS at Home While Detaining HIV+ Haitians at Guantánamo” / Democracy Now! / Amy Goodman ☮
George H.W. Bush died in Houston on Friday night at the age of 94. Bush was elected the 41st president of the United States in 1988, becoming the first and only former CIA director to lead the country. He served as Ronald Reagan’s vice president from 1981 to 1989. Since Bush’s death, the media has honored the former president by focusing on his years of service and his call as president for a kinder, gentler America. But the headlines have largely glossed over and ignored other parts of Bush’s legacy. We look at the 1991 Gulf War, Bush’s pardoning of six Reagan officials involved in the Iran-Contra scandal and how a racist election ad helped him become president.
