Project 2025 and the Seven Mountain Mandate

“Christian nationalists walk around with a mouthful of scripture, and a heart full of hate. Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus didn’t tell us to love our churches. He didn’t tell us to love our doctrines and our creeds.

He didn’t even tell us to love our scriptures.

He told us to love our neighbors. And there was no exception to that commandment. Love thy neighbor regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or immigration status.

One of my favorite theologians, Barbara Brown Taylor, once wrote:

The only clear line I draw these days is this, when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor. Jesus never commanded me to love my religion.

You know what’s interesting? Not once in the entire bible does Jesus ask us to worship him. All he asks is that we follow him. Love like he loved. Love the outcast. Welcome the stranger. Feed the hungry. Heal the sick.

Free the oppressed.

As the hymn says, they will know we are Christians by our love. We have to get back to that.”

~James Talarico

James Talarico is pointing out a stark contrast between the way Christian nationalism uses religion versus what Jesus actually taught.

1. Love of Neighbor vs. “Enemies Within”

• The quote emphasizes love without exceptions — race, class, gender, immigration status.
• Christian nationalist rhetoric, by contrast, frames opponents (the “left,” immigrants, protestors) as threats or even terrorists.
• This shift in framing justifies turning the tools of state power inward. If neighbors are cast as enemies, the biblical command to love is replaced by a political mandate to control.

2. Militarization of the Domestic Sphere

• Project 2025 and Trump’s rhetoric show a pivot: fewer troops abroad, more willingness to deploy federal power at home.
• Labeling dissenters as “terrorists” opens the door to use counterterror tools — surveillance, fusion centers, even troops — against citizens.
• This stands in direct opposition to the ethic in Talarico’s passage: feeding the hungry, healing the sick, freeing the oppressed.

3. Religion as Justification

• The passage notes Jesus never told people to love scripture or religion — only neighbors.
• Yet Christian nationalists use scripture as a weaponized identity marker.
• That identity politics provides the moral cover for authoritarian practices, like suppressing protests in the name of “order” or deploying troops under a “Christian” banner.

Think of ICE and how they’re marketing it as “defending the homeland”. That’s the packed Cancer 8th house of our chart right there. Who are they protecting it from? Their neighbors. The same neighbors Jesus told them to love as fulfillment of the law.

4. How It All Connects to the Plan

• Narrative: Dissent = terrorism → Christians must “defend” the nation.
• Infrastructure: Military/legal powers built for foreign wars redeployed at home.
• Ideology: Christian nationalism redefines “neighbor” narrowly, excluding those who differ in politics, race, or belief.
• Result: A fusion of political power, military force, and religious justification — the opposite of the ethic quoted by Talarico.

So, how did we get here?

Well, Pallas Athena just stationed direct in Aquarius yesterday. So, let’s talk about patterns, as she would have us do. The third house in America’s chart is Aquarius, where Pluto will soon station direct. We are going to find out really awful things about our government.

Especially as Pluto readies to station direct there, and will be out of bounds Southward for the next decade. Ultimately I do see this as more democracy in the end, but before we get there, fascism must be defeated.

Before Bacon’s rebellion in 1676, poor white indentured servants and enslaved africans sometimes worked and revolted together. But, it had never become a full-blown, racial caste system. But Francis Bacon was interested in driving more natives out of VA.

He was related to the governor, William Blakely, and pissed that Blakely wouldn’t fall in line. So, he deceived the group of poor white people and enslaved black people. There was a giant uprising against the colonial elite.

Bacon wanted power. So he promised them their freedom.

The elite reaction was terror and fear. They started to truly understand how concentrating wealth and resources in the hands of a few could be a real problem. And so, they began to enstate laws that divided us by race. It was shortly after the rebellion we get our first white supremacy laws.

This restricted freedom for black people and granted the poor white people privilege to keep the black people “in line”. And this racial bribe is what became law in the US. They don’t actually care about race, or didn’t. It also didn’t meaningfully change the plight of the poor whites.

It was a strategy to prevent unified uprisings against concentrated wealth and power. The poor whites and the enslaved black people were creating all the wealth and receiving none of it.

By the time we make it to 1776 and the constitution that hadn’t changed. The declaration of independence says all men are created equal, but it meant white, male property owners; not all men.

The Constitution was designed with many anti-majoritarian features (Senate, Electoral College) to protect elite interests. Enslaved people were counted as 3/5 of a person for representation, but they couldn’t vote. Women had no legal personhood. Native nations were excluded entirely.

This is why republicans try so hard to convince you that undocumented people are voting, that they need to suppress the civil rights act and the right of black people to vote. They only want rich, white men to count. Eventually they’ll take away the poor whites votes, too.

That’s why every expansion of rights — abolition, Reconstruction amendments, women’s suffrage, civil rights, voting rights — had to be fought for rather than assumed. And why the constitution has had to be amended over time. It’s also why those on the right tell you the constitution is not a living breathing document, but fixed in place.

Even white men couldn’t vote if they didn’t own property. So, no, they don’t care if you’re white. It’s not even about white nationalism. It’s about protecting the elite, who perform wage theft and exploitation.

Modern Attacks on Amendments show that not only do they not want to add protections for the rest of us, but they want to take away amendments we already fought and died for.

• First Amendment (speech, press, assembly): You’re seeing crackdowns on protest rights, book bans, and legislative moves to criminalize dissent or limit journalists. Banning Kimmel, removing Colbert, cracking down on the protests with military.
• Second Amendment (bear arms): They are currently trying to take rights from transgender people to own guns. Your group will be next.
• Nineteenth Amendment (women’s suffrage): Key figures in the Christian nationalist orbit (including some in Pete Hegseth church network) have openly questioned women’s right to vote. Pete himself retweeted that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

The pattern: when democratic participation threatens entrenched power, the powerful work to narrow who counts as “the people.”

Some say that can’t be true because why would women be on the right, knowing their own rights will be lost? Look to the Handmaid’s Tale for speculative fiction here in the US, but from historical and psychological standpoints it also makes sense.

Socialization & Identity

• From childhood, girls in patriarchal cultures are often rewarded for loyalty, compliance, and caretaking. Supporting “strong male leaders” becomes part of being a “good woman.”
• Religious and political movements frame this as virtue: “submission,” “obedience,” “femininity.” It’s not presented as oppression but as safety and righteousness.

Psychological Safety & Belonging

• Systems that promise order and clarity can feel safer than freedom, especially when the world is chaotic.
• By aligning with the powerful group, women can feel less at risk of ostracism or violence. There’s a survival logic: “If I stand with them, I’ll be protected.” But they never are.

Status & Proximity to Power

• Patriarchal movements give certain women status as gatekeepers — pastors’ wives, influencers, “trad wives,” political surrogates. These women may enjoy influence within the system as long as they enforce its norms. Just like white people became gatekeepers of black people after Bacon’s rebellion.
• This is sometimes called the “patriarchal bargain”: trading some autonomy for security or privilege.

Internalized Misogyny

• When a culture constantly tells women that they’re less competent, sinful, or dangerous when free, many internalize those beliefs.
• Then, defending male leadership feels like defending “truth” or “God’s order” rather than oppression.

Fear of Change

• Movements promising “biblical values” or “traditional roles” market themselves as a return to false stability.
• Women who have suffered in chaotic or abusive contexts may genuinely believe these movements will heal society, even if it costs them their rights.

Weaponized Religion

• In the Christian nationalist frame, submission isn’t just a suggestion — it’s a command from God. To question it is to risk hell or social exile.
• “Good women” are framed as warriors for their families, protecting children from “degeneracy.” This gives them a sense of moral heroism, even as they reinforce a system that limits them.

A Helpful Lens: “The Patriarchal Bargain”

Coined by feminist scholar Deniz Kandiyoti, this idea explains why women support systems that disadvantage them:

• They make a bargain to gain short-term benefits (status, safety, belonging).
• In return, they reinforce long-term structures that limit all women.
• Breaking that bargain feels terrifying, because it means losing the only security they’ve known.

1787–1865: Founding Era to Civil War

• Who had rights: White, male property owners.
• Who didn’t: Enslaved Africans, Native peoples, women, poor white men without property.
• Expansions:
• 1791: Bill of Rights (speech, religion, press — but applied narrowly).
• 1820s–1830s: Many states drop property requirements → most white men can vote.

Contractions:

• 1790 Naturalization Act: Citizenship limited to “free white persons.”
• Dred Scott (1857): Supreme Court declares Black people “have no rights which the white man is bound to respect.”
• Indigenous peoples are repeatedly dispossessed through treaties, wars, and forced removals.

1865–1890s: Reconstruction & Backlash

• Expansions:
• 13th (abolition of slavery, 1865)
• 14th (citizenship & equal protection, 1868)
• 15th (Black men’s right to vote, 1870)
• Freedmen briefly hold office and build institutions.

Contractions:

• Rise of Jim Crow laws, racial terror, literacy tests, poll taxes → Black disenfranchisement.
• 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act (first federal immigration ban by ethnicity).
• Women’s suffrage activists split over prioritizing Black men’s or women’s rights — women remain excluded.

1900–1930s: Progressive Reforms

• Expansions:
• Labor reforms: minimum wage debates, early workplace protections.
• 19th Amendment (1920): Women’s suffrage.
• Child labor begins to be curbed (Keating-Owen Act 1916, though struck down at first).

Contractions:

• Segregation entrenched by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
• Immigration Act of 1924: bans Asians, creates quotas privileging Northern Europeans.
• Labor rights uneven; children still widely working until 1930s.

1930s–1950s: New Deal Era

• Expansions:
• Labor: Fair Labor Standards Act (1938) sets minimum wage, 40-hour week, bans most child labor.
• Social Security (1935).

Contractions:

• Many New Deal benefits excluded agricultural/domestic workers — disproportionately Black, Mexican, and women.
• Japanese internment (1942–45): 120,000 Japanese Americans forcibly relocated.

1950s–1970s: Civil Rights & Liberation Movements

• Expansions:
• Brown v. Board (1954): ends “separate but equal.”
• Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), Fair Housing Act (1968).
• Women’s movement: Title IX (1972), Roe v. Wade (1973).
• Disability rights: Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act (1973).

Contractions/Backlash:

• Southern Strategy → mass resistance to integration.
• Criminalization increases (War on Drugs 1971 onward disproportionately targets Black and poor communities).
• ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) fails to be ratified.

What Was the Southern Strategy?

• The Southern Strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy starting in the 1960s.
• Its core idea: win white voters in the South (and beyond) by appealing to racial resentments after the Civil Rights Movement.
• Instead of openly racist language, politicians used “coded” language (dog whistles) about “law and order,” “states’ rights,” and “welfare dependency.”

Historical Background

• Civil Rights Movement (1950s–1960s): Black Americans and allies win major victories — Civil Rights Act (1964), Voting Rights Act (1965), desegregation rulings.
• Political shift: For a century, the South had been “Solid Democratic” (the Dixiecrats), but those Democrats were segregationist. Once the national Democratic Party embraced civil rights, many Southern whites felt betrayed.

This opened the door for Republicans to flip the South.

How It Worked:

Goldwater (1964): Opposed Civil Rights Act → won five Deep South states.

Nixon (1968, 1972): Perfected the strategy with appeals to “law and order,” “silent majority,” and resistance to busing/integration.

Notably, one of his strategists, Kevin Phillips, said openly:

“The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans.”

Reagan (1980): Launched his campaign near Philadelphia, Mississippi — infamous for the murder of three civil rights workers — talking about “states’ rights.”

Later decades: “Welfare queen” rhetoric, crime policy, anti-immigrant stances — all carried the same logic: racial resentment framed as policy concern. Democrats and Republicans are to blame.

The government has moved so far to the right it’s insane. This means the further right they go, the more of us who they call “the left”. It was Reagan who signed into law that everyone in the country, including undocumented immigrants, could receive emergency care if it was required without insurance. They would later be billed.

And today, you have the entire republican party suggesting we repeal that and let them die in the streets, all for having the wrong papers. It’s my contention Jesus would NEVER accept this.

Key Features

• Dog Whistles: Racial appeals without saying “race” explicitly.
• “Law and order” = fear of Black uprisings.
• “States’ rights” = opposition to federal desegregation.
• “Welfare reform” = coded as Black women “abusing the system.” When it’s the rich, white elite abusing it everyday; exploiting us all.
• Divide & Rule: Similar to the post–Bacon’s Rebellion tactic — keep poor whites aligned with elites by giving them a racial identity of superiority.
• Long-Term Impact: Flipped the South red, reshaped the Republican Party around white grievance politics, and influenced national policy on crime, welfare, and voting rights.

Why It Matters Today

The Southern Strategy didn’t just change voting patterns; it reshaped U.S. culture and law. Its legacy shows up in:

• Voter suppression laws targeted at Black communities.
• Mass incarceration policies (especially from the 1980s–1990s).
• Culture wars over immigration, education, and policing framed in “neutral” language but tied to race.

So, in short: the Southern Strategy was about weaponizing racial backlash into political power. It didn’t invent racism, but it institutionalized it as a permanent electoral tool.

1980s–2000s: Rights Expanded & Contested

• Expansions:
• 1980s–90s: LGBTQ+ visibility grows, limited protections emerge.
• 1990: Americans with Disabilities Act.
• 2015: Obergefell v. Hodges legalizes same-sex marriage.

Contractions:

• 1994 Crime Bill, “three strikes” laws, mandatory minimums → mass incarceration.
• Voting Rights Act gutted by Shelby v. Holder (2013).
• Abortion rights eroded by state restrictions.

2010s–2020s: Present Struggles

• Expansions:
• #MeToo & workplace rights awareness.
• Some states expand voting access, LGBTQ+ protections, higher minimum wages.

Contractions:

• Supreme Court: Dobbs (2022) overturns Roe v. Wade.
• State laws limiting trans rights, banning books, restricting protest.
• Renewed attacks on women’s suffrage in some Christian nationalist discourse.
• Voting rights further restricted through voter ID, purges, gerrymandering.
• Workers’ protections rolled back in “gig economy.”
• The Supreme Court is going to overturn gay marriage next.

Every expansion of rights (emancipation, suffrage, labor protections, civil rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality) is followed by pushback (Jim Crow, segregation, incarceration, abortion bans, voter suppression).

This is the rhythm of U.S. democracy: rights are never gifted freely; they are won in struggle and defended constantly.

Republicans who frame America as a republic are technically correct. It was stolen from natives to give wealthy white men a space to conquer. The only reason we have ever gone to war is to conquer resources and colonize the world.

Democrats who frame America as a democracy are technically correct. We have fought, died, and struggled for representation. And today both parties are sold out to corporations. None of them experience hunger, inability to pay rent, choosing between paying your doubled electric bill and eating.

Neither party represents Americans. The United States was never supposed to represent its people. We, the people, meant the rich, white men in power. And ever since we’ve had to fight for our rights. This is seen in the duality of a Sagittarius rising chart. (The Sibley Chart).

I’ve been warning about Christian Nationalism since 2012. It’s insane for me to watch it take over, even though I’ve known for years it wanted to. I guess I envisioned the democrats protecting us, and had to work through the grief of understanding they are not real opposition; they are controlled.

In order to understand this fully we need to talk about Project 2025, which is deeply tied to Christian Nationalism. In truth, most of those in power don’t believe in Jesus as a savior. Like Israel weaponizes Judaism to deflect criticism of evil, so, too, America uses Christianity for the same.

What is Project 2025?

• Project 2025 is a sweeping, forward-looking policy and personnel plan initially crafted by the Heritage Foundation in 2022, with help from former Trump administration officials and many conservative allies.
• Its goal: to “deconstruct the administrative state” — i.e. reshape the federal government so the president has far more control, reduce what it views as bureaucratic overreach, and align government more squarely with a conservative (often Christian nationalist) vision.
• It contains four overlapping “pillars” or elements:

1. A policy blueprint (called Mandate for Leadership) with hundreds of proposed actions.
2. A “personnel database” of vetted conservative loyalists ready to replace civil servants.
3. 3. Training and recruiting mechanisms (some call it a “President Administration Academy”) for those personnel.
4. 4. A “180-day playbook” (some parts unpublished) aimed at how to execute major structural changes quickly in a new administration.
5. The document is large (around 900+ pages in its published sections) and covers many sectors: economy, immigration, education, culture, federal agencies, tech, media, civil service, etc.

What’s already happening: Implementation & alignment

Personnel / Staffing & Federal Workforce Control

Reinstatement of Schedule F / “Schedule Policy/Career”.

Project 2025 explicitly calls for reclassifying civil service roles to reduce protections so the president can more easily fire or replace employees.

On Jan 20, 2025, Trump signed EO 14171 which rescinded Biden’s EO on Schedule F and restored a version of it.

Hiring freeze across executive branch. Project 2025 advocates slowing or stopping hiring in many agencies as part of shrinking the administrative state. On January 20, 2025, a presidential memorandum froze hiring of federal civilian employees (vacant positions could not be filled) unless specifically exempted.

Personnel from Project 2025 installed in key roles

Top appointees who helped draft Project 2025 or are tied to it. This gives the implementation engine internal alignment. Trump tapped Russ Vought, a key author/contributor of Project 2025, as Director of OMB. Also, other contributors like Tom Homan (immigration “czar”) and Stephen Miller in policy roles.

Executive orders mirroring Project proposals

Many early EOs under Trump’s second term mimic items from the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership”. For example: government downsizing, deregulation, cutting agency roles, shifting agency powers, etc.

One analysis found nearly 45% of Trump’s executive orders (excluding tariffs) closely align with Project 2025 proposals. CBS News says many first-100-day actions echo Project 2025’s blueprint.

Trump reactivated changes in FEMA structure and proposed shifting costs to states, a proposed idea in Project 2025. They defunded weather notifications which led to so many deaths in the Texas flood.

Agency & program restructuring

Moves to reduce or eliminate certain agency functions, deregulate, shift enforcement. This is why we now have radioactive shrimp. They are no longer regulating the corporations who sell it to us. This is part of “deconstructing the administrative state” which is central to Project 2025.

Trump has pushed to dismantle or downscale the Department of Education via executive orders. Also, “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement” executive order to shift powers to law enforcement and reduce constraints.

Tracking & public monitoring

Project 2025 Executive Action Tracker. Civil society (progressive groups) are actively tracking whether Trump’s administration is following the Project’s proposals, showing there’s enough alignment to monitor.

Why this matters (and what to watch for)

• The personnel placement is a key vector. When staffers already believe in the Project’s vision, the machinery of government becomes more pliable.
• Structural moves (hiring freezes, altering civil service status) shift power subtly but permanently.
• The first 100–200 days tend to set the momentum. If those align with Project 2025’s agenda, many gains may become entrenched.
• Courts, Congress, and state-level actors will become battlegrounds. If legal or legislative pushback is weak, the deconstruction continues.

Shutdown as leverage: How President Trump is using the government closure to fire and punish

What to know about the threats to fire federal workers amid the government shutdown

Trump Associates:

Pete Hegseth- There is concern (in reporting) about how deeply his theological views might influence decision-making in defense affairs, especially around religious pluralism, religious freedom within the military, and civil-military roles.

Important to research The Apostolic Reformation here. Paula White, Trump’s personal pastor, and leader of the newly instated “office of faith” is part of this. They have a “7 mountain mandate”. And even if you are Christian, you will not be spared.

Russ Vought- Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) (Trump’s second term). Because the OMB shapes budgets, agency priorities, and structural reorganization, his alignment gives Project 2025 real operational leverage.

Trump, 79, Posts Bizarre Grim Reaper-Themed AI Music Video

Part of Project 2025 is the government shutdown we are currently in. It’s giving Russ the chance to go in and stop funding of whatever they want. It’s already affecting transportation and other crucial elements of society that we use everyday.

Steven G. Bradbury- Former acting official; contributor to Project 2025. He authored the chapter in Mandate for Leadership dealing with transportation and has promoted more concentrated executive control over agencies like the FBI / DOJ.

Brendan Carr- He was a co-author of the Project 2025 chapter on communications / tech, and his nomination is seen as an inroad for the agenda. Control over the FCC is key for regulating (or deregulating) media, content, platform liability, and information flows — a powerful lever in information politics.

He is the one who fired Kimmel and said “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” In order to understand why this is crucial to the Apostolic Reformation you have to understand what the 7 mountains are.

Tom Homan- “Border Czar” / high-level immigration enforcement. Named as a contributor to Project 2025; his appointment is seen as reflecting the Project’s hardline posture on immigration. The goal of the reformation is whites only.

How Tom Homan wound up ensnared in an FBI contracts-for-cash sting

There are many, many more associations.

Why these connections matter (beyond names)

Policy Implementation bridge:

Having people in actual government posts who co-authored or contributed to a radical blueprint means many of the proposals aren’t theoretical — they have champions inside the machine. That lowers the friction of implementing structural change.

Ideological embedding

Christian nationalist or values-based influences in policy (e.g. emphasis on “biblical principles,” stricter moral regulations) are more likely to show up when those in authority share those worldviews.

Some reporting suggests that in this administration, certain denominational Christianity is being prioritized.

These are the same people who crash Grindr, a gay app, every time they gather in places like the RNC or the Charlie Kirk memorial. Reminds me of Handmaid’s Tale, and how the men would go to the brothel. No pleasure and fun for you, just me.

Why Grindr Crashes When Republicans Gather - UOMOD

They aren’t actually racist, against gayness, etc. They want control for the wealthy elite, so they use those things as “moral” arguments to achieve it.

Network & vetting control

Project 2025 includes a personnel database of vetted loyalists. Many of the above names are likely part of that pipeline. That means the people making decisions are already aligned with the ideological project, not just temporarily placed.

Institutional leverage

The posts, OMB, FCC, immigration, regulatory /Justice oversight, are not fluff. They’re levers of power over budgets, civil liberties, enforcement, surveillance, and the flow of information.

The Seven Mountain Mandate (7M) is an idea within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) — a loose global charismatic Christian movement. It teaches that Christians are called to “take back” or exercise dominion over seven key areas (“mountains”) of society in order to bring about God’s kingdom on earth.

The phrase traces back to 1975, when Bill Bright (founder of Campus Crusade for Christ) and Loren Cunningham (founder of Youth With A Mission, YWAM) both claimed to have received visions from God identifying these spheres. Later, Francis Schaeffer, a Christian philosopher, gave similar warnings about culture-shaping institutions.

The Seven “Mountains” They Want to Climb

The mandate says Christians should aim to influence/control these seven spheres:

1. Religion (Church) — Reassert Christian authority over spirituality, often casting other religions and denominations as false.

2. Family — Uphold patriarchal, “biblical” family models, oppose divorce, LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights. ALl while the men rush off to have gay sex, and their women give up careers and livelihoods to allow it.

3. Education — Influence schools and universities, replace secular teaching with biblical worldview. The bible in every classroom.

4. Government / Law — Place Christians in political office, implement laws reflecting “biblical values.” I’ve been warning of this since 2012. It’s insane to see it being implemented.

5. Media — Control news, journalism, and entertainment reporting to promote Christian narratives.

6. Arts & Entertainment — Shape film, music, sports, literature toward evangelism or “family-friendly” culture.

7. Business / Economy — Dominate markets, see wealth as a tool for kingdom-building.

Christianity is in full force in our government. They’ve even invented an office of faith. They push the nuclear family, even as they admit in interviews they are married more for business reasons than love. But that’s how it was done for centuries. Arranged marriages to benefit the wealthy.

People like Betsy Devoss are all over the education system. They’re pushing for ten commandments in schools. Bibles in every classroom. Forced prayer, even for children who aren’t religious. But yet, they want to stop funding children’s breakfast and lunch. Marry that to Jesus for me.

Many of them are in government. Ted Cruz and them go way back. I’ve been warning about this tea party takeover, too, for twenty years now.

1975 — The Origins

Loren Cunningham (founder of Youth With A Mission / YWAM) and Bill Bright (founder of Campus Crusade for Christ) each claim to receive a vision from God about the “seven spheres” that shape culture.

They identify: Religion, Family, Education, Government, Media, Arts/Entertainment, Business as key areas Christians must influence.

Around the same time, Francis Schaeffer (evangelical thinker) is warning that Christians are losing influence over culture.

Think TPUSA. Notice the pattern? Charlie was losing the youth, especially as it related to Israel. In order to keep them he allowed people critical of the Israeli government to speak on his platform. They didn’t like that.

They tried so hard to make the shooter trans. They used that as the reason we should take guns. They tried pushing a polished rich boy, whose daddy got rich on section 8 housing, and failed.

Israel controls a lot of the United States, not Jews. Stop conflating the people with the government who claims to represent them. We’ll go into what they control and why, as it relates to the 7 mountain mandate in the next blog. It goes pretty far back to Operation Paperclip.

What Was Operation Paperclip? The Secret US Intelligence Program

1980s — Early Echoes

The idea circulates in charismatic/evangelical circles but isn’t yet mainstream.

Pat Robertson (Christian Broadcasting Network, presidential run 1988) emphasizes Christians must “take dominion” in politics and media — similar language to the 7M mandate.

The rise of the Moral Majority (Jerry Falwell Sr.) and the Religious Right aligns with these themes.

1990s — New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)

C. Peter Wagner, a Fuller Theological Seminary professor, begins to organize what he calls the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

Wagner emphasizes modern-day “apostles” and “prophets” who will lead a global transformation.

He begins explicitly connecting the 7M framework with NAR strategy: Christians must take back every sphere of society.

2000s — Popularization

Lance Wallnau, a business consultant turned preacher, becomes the major popularizer of the “Seven Mountain Mandate.”

He reframes it as a battle plan for cultural takeover and begins linking it to politics.

Conferences, books, and sermons spread the idea through charismatic and Pentecostal churches.

Lou Engle (The Call prayer rallies) also promotes the vision of Christians reclaiming society.

2010s — Political Mobilization

Paula White-Cain, prosperity preacher influenced by NAR/7M thought, becomes a close advisor and spiritual counselor to Donald Trump. Leads the white house office of faith.

Lance Wallnau publicly calls Trump “God’s chaos candidate” who will help Christians conquer the seven mountains.

7M language shows up at rallies, prayer meetings, and pro-Trump evangelical events.

Other figures like Cindy Jacobs and Dutch Sheets spread similar dominionist teaching.

2020s — Open Christian Nationalism

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and some Christian nationalist rhetoric overlap with 7M-style thinking: targeting education, law, family, and media as battlegrounds.

Pete Hegseth, tied to CREC churches (Doug Wilson’s network), shares dominionist views that echo “All of Christ for All of Life” — a similar 7M vision. Tweeted that we should repeal the 19th amendment and women’s right to vote.

Netanyahu’s allies in Israel and Trump’s evangelical base often overlap with 7M networks through shared conferences and Christian Zionism.

Today: the 7M mandate is no longer just theological language — it’s tied to real-world political power, shaping education policy, government staffing, and media messaging.

Project 2025’s stated goal: bring the “war on terror” home

In the Mandate for Leadership chapters, one recurring theme is that “security” should be redefined to include not just foreign threats but “domestic enemies.” That can mean:

Expanding federal power to surveil and police citizens inside the U.S. Using the military or federalized forces for internal security or border enforcement. Lowering the institutional barriers between domestic law enforcement and national security operations.

This framework dovetails with rhetoric like “ANTIFA is a terrorist organization,” because once something is called “terrorism,” post-9/11 powers kick in. You know, like LA, Chicago, and “war torn” Portland, OR. Coming soon to a city near you.

Don’t think it’s only blue cities. Republicans running red states are requesting the troops come. You will not be spared by slobbering on his knob. Sorry, power doesn’t work that way. It maintains power that way.

Trump’s troop posture abroad vs. at home

Drawdown abroad: His stated position of ending “reckless adventurism” overseas frees up personnel and resources.

Posture at home: At the same time, his administration has been more willing to use federal agents or even hint at military force to control protests or perceived domestic unrest.

Legal hooks: Tools like the Insurrection Act or DHS’s domestic intelligence programs give a president more latitude to act internally without new laws from Congress.

That shift — less foreign intervention, more domestic policing — is exactly how you’d operationalize Project 2025’s call to “deconstruct” traditional agencies and realign them under direct presidential control.

Labeling political opposition as “terrorism”

When you declare a loosely defined movement (like “ANTIFA”) a terrorist threat, even without a formal legal mechanism, it:

Justifies expanded surveillance.

Justifies using fusion centers, watchlists, and social-media scraping tools on domestic citizens.

Primes the public to accept seeing federal forces on U.S. streets as “counterterrorism” rather than “suppression of dissent.”

This is a known tactic globally — it’s how counter-insurgency frameworks get applied inside countries, not just abroad.

How this connects to Project 2025

Personnel: Project 2025’s vetting of loyal staff for DHS, DOJ, DoD makes it easier to execute these shifts quickly.

Policy blueprint: It explicitly calls for weakening internal guardrails (like civil-service protections and some oversight boards) that might otherwise resist misuse of security powers.

Ideological vision: Many of the Christian nationalist and dominionist elements see the U.S. as a nation in spiritual warfare — which blends easily with treating domestic dissent as a security threat.

So you can think of it like a triangle:

Narrative (“leftists = terrorists”)

Infrastructure (post-9/11 surveillance & militarization powers)

Personnel (Project 2025’s pre-vetted appointees)

Put them together and you get a government more willing to deploy federal power inward rather than outward, which is the structural through-line between the troop shift, the rhetoric, and the plan.

You might not understand the LGBTQ community, the demands for healthcare and higher wages, that a woman should have autonomy over her life and choices, but none of those people have the power to beat you, arrest you, or make you disappear. This administration does.

So think hard about what side of history you’re on. Especially if you’re a Christian. They aren’t above repealing amendments. They’re already coming after the 2nd and the 19th amendments. I say we give up the red vs blue illusion, and unite as the purple party for the people.

In order to fully implement their plan they must attack the first amendment, which they are also doing. It prohibits any laws being implemented based on religion, and allows protests against a tyrannical government. We’ve never had a more tyrannical government.

It’s them against us, but we’ve been fighting the wrong “them”.

Some billionaires and mega-donors already linked to Christian nationalist or dominionist infrastructure:

Tim Dunn & Farris Wilks (Texas oil billionaires)

Major funders of Texas right-wing/regional Christian nationalist infrastructure, state legislatures, think tanks, PACs. They aim to promote “biblical worldview” laws, “Christian rule” narratives, and to push state laws aligning with Christian nationalist ideals.

They are openly evangelical and tied to Christian nationalist movements. (E.g. Dunn has said only Christians should hold leadership).

David Green (Hobby Lobby founder)

Significant donations to evangelical organizations and Christian causes. His funding helps sustain evangelical institutions that can feed into broader Christian conservative networks; supporting the “religion mountain” of the 7M model.

Green is explicitly Christian and has used philanthropy to amplify evangelical causes.

Uihlein Family & Greens (Hobby Lobby / conservative Christian donors)

Backing of Ziklag, a secret charity pushing Christian legal and political influence. Their funds help support Christian legal networks (e.g. Alliance Defending Freedom), which play a role in enforcing or creating laws favorable to Christian nationalism. Their backing is more behind-the-scenes, masked by nonprofit structures.

Peter Thiel owns Palantir and describes himself as Christian. He just went around and give six lectures on the antichrist. He is heavily invested in spyware that allows governments to control us. He funds projects that overlap with Christian nationalism and wants to turn humans in robots.

Larry Ellison is not a Christian Zionist, but a Jewish Zionist. It doesn’t matter honestly because they work together. They don’t actually believe in Christianity or Judaism. They are mostly secular, and just want control because they’re all rich. The labels are to keep us divided.

Why some non-Christian or secular billionaires might help even if they don’t believe the theology, there are strategic incentives:

Power & Social Control

Religious narratives can help legitimize concentrated power. If moral/religious authority supports ruling elites, dissent gets framed as “sin” or “rebellion” rather than legitimate protest.

Aligning with but not being consumed by the movement

Supporting Christian nationalist institutions gives them an ally in shaping policy, social norms, and the ruling class, without requiring the donor to be doctrinally orthodox.

Cultural hegemony & narrative control

Religion is one of the strongest soft-power tools. If you control or influence religious institutions, you control part of the narrative infrastructure (schools, media, “morality”).

Protection & loyalty networks

By funding religious majorities or moral crusades, donors can gain loyalty from sectors (politicians, pastors, local power brokers) who feel obligated or grateful to people who support their “values.”

Masking or legitimacy

If your movement is rooted in religious/moral language, it can deflect critique as theological or cultural, not political. That gives cover: “I am defending faith, not political power.”

What we do know about Ellison’s influence & moves

Media control expansion

• Reports say Larry Ellison (through his son David Ellison’s Skydance / Paramount move) is building a media empire that could control CBS, streaming, film, and news.
• Ellison is in talks to acquire U.S. operations of TikTok, with Oracle slated to host user data infrastructure.
• He’s being described as a “shadow president” in some profiles: someone working behind the scenes pulling many of the strings in Trump’s second term.

Political giving & PACs

• Ellison gave $15 million to a super-PAC supporting Senator Tim Scott in 2022, which is one of his largest recorded political donations.
• He has long supported Republican candidates and causes.
• He’s backed candidates who question or contest election legitimacy.

Connections with Israel & Zionism

• Ellison is a donor to the Israeli military (Friends of the IDF) and supports pro-Israel causes.
• Some articles suggest he has close ties with Netanyahu and has lobbied in Israeli political circles.

Lobbying / Government influence

• Oracle (Ellison’s company) invested heavily in lobbying around acquiring a stake / role in the TikTok transition.
• Ellison’s political presence is sometimes quiet, but influential — his name comes up in strategic decision circles.

Interpretation: Why would someone like Ellison align (or appear to) with a Christian nationalist or 7M-style power structure?

It doesn’t necessarily mean he believes all the theology. But here are strategic reasons:

• Control over narrative & culture: Owning media gives you control over what stories dominate, which aligns with the “media mountain” in the 7M schema.
• Access & protection: Being welcomed in religious-political circles gives access to policy influence, regulatory favor, and protection from pushback.
• Soft cover: Aligning publicly with Christian nationalist figures can deflect criticism; critics may frame challenges as “attacks on faith” rather than on power. Like how Israel calls anyone who questions the genocide they’re committing an antisemite.
• Shared interests: Even secular or Jewish elites may share interests like strong state power, conservative social order, property protections, religious alignments on Israel, etc. In other words: overlapping agendas even if not shared theology.

Billionaire Oracle Boss Larry Ellison actually vetted Marco Rubio’s blind loyalty test to Israel in 2015, we learned through leaked emails.

He Set Up shady meetings with Israeli Spies and Tony Blair, Then flooded Rubio’s Campaign with millions. Now Ellison’s Israel’s TOP U.S. SUGAR DADDY, Dumping $350M into Blair’s Gig and Vowing to rebuild a reimagined Gaza with Trump. These are easily searched claims.

Jewish billionaire Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, now, TikTok wants data centralization and total surveillance:

“We’re going to have supervision. Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

Current Sky Themes

• Uranus Rx in Gemini (7th house in Sibley): shaking up alliances, contracts, diplomacy, and the “us vs. them” axis. Revolutions in how we partner, who we trust, and how we exchange information.
• Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius (3rd house): power shifting through networks, communication systems, grassroots information, and community organizing. Aquarius always pushes power outward and downward, not just upward.
• Saturn–Neptune conjunction brewing in early Aries: new collective ideals (Neptune) meeting structural tests (Saturn) right at the zodiac’s ignition point. This screams “reset of collective dream + responsibility.”
• Pluto Out of Bounds (south): historically tied to moments when underground or marginalized groups suddenly exert massive influence — because the “normal channels” of power are disrupted.

Historical Echoes

1. 1940s: Uranus in Gemini & Pluto in Leo

• During WWII, Uranus in Gemini (like now) was shaking the structures of diplomacy and alliances. Fascism (Germany, Italy, Japan) rose — but it was also during this period that international cooperation (think: Allied powers, and later the UN in 1945) defeated fascist regimes.
• People underestimate how much the “information war” mattered — radio, codebreaking (Enigma), grassroots propaganda — all Gemini/Uranus in action. This is why they want to control media.

Parallel: Uranus Rx in Gemini today could signal new “information alliances” and digital resistance against authoritarian systems.

2. 1960s: Pluto in Virgo, Uranus–Pluto Conjunction

• Civil rights movements, anti–Vietnam War protests, student uprisings across Europe and the US. The structures of systemic racism, patriarchy, and militarism were being cracked open.
• Pluto was south out-of-bounds in much of the ’60s: the “people power” was literally off the charts. Think: marches that turned governments, counterculture rewriting norms, and the fall of colonial regimes worldwide.

Parallel: Pluto OOB now can amplify grassroots resistance movements. When systems overreach, people organize in new, unstoppable ways.

3. Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989–1991)

• Uranus + Neptune conjoined in Capricorn, Saturn also nearby — huge restructuring of power and ideologies.
• This was about dissolving old rigid systems and redefining collective alliances. Eastern Europe pushed back against authoritarian regimes and won.

Parallel: Neptune–Saturn in Aries may be our generation’s “new wall falling” — the dissolving of ideological prisons.

4. American Revolution (late 1700s)

• Pluto was in Capricorn (like we just experienced 2008–2023). The breakaway from monarchy and the creation of a new democratic experiment came directly from grassroots uprisings.
• Uranus was in Gemini too — sparking revolutions in communication (pamphlets, newspapers, “Common Sense” by Paine).

Parallel: We’re literally in the echo cycle of the Revolution. Pluto’s shift into Aquarius is the next phase:

What do we do with the “freedom experiment” now?

The Astrological Lesson

Every time Pluto shifts signs or goes out of bounds, power structures that seemed permanent crumble from below. Uranus in Gemini specifically points to information revolutions and alliances as the weapons that undo fascism. Saturn–Neptune at 0° Aries is like striking the match on a brand-new collective story.

So if history is a guide, we’re entering one of those rare eras where authoritarian overreach sparks its own undoing.

The “people” are the wildcard.

This is America’s chart with today’s transits:

The Sag Rising Dilemma (Republic vs. Democracy)

• Sagittarius Rising 12°: This is the “identity” axis of the U.S. — why we appear bold, righteous, pioneering.
• Republic vs. Democracy is literally Sagittarius’ polarity: zealous in belief systems, but also expansive and freedom-oriented. Both political parties sit inside that spectrum, but both have sold their souls to oligarchy (Pluto in the 2nd and our recent Pluto return exposed this).
• With Juno entering Sag at 1° and Vesta at 9° right on the Ascendant: themes of loyalty, devotion, and sacred focus are being highlighted. The U.S. is being asked, “What marriage vows have you broken? What sacred fires are you feeding?”

Translation:

Citizens are revisiting what America promised to be vs. what it is.

2nd House Capricorn + Pluto Return

• Pluto at 27° Capricorn in the natal: America’s resource story is capital, control, oligarchy. The return (2022–2024) revealed the rot in that system.
• With no big transits there right now, it’s like a quiet aftershock. The ground has shifted, and everyone is pretending business is normal, but the structure’s already cracked.

3rd House Aquarius + Pluto Station Direct

• Natal Moon 27° Aquarius conjunct Pallas 26°: the people (Moon) + strategic wisdom (Pallas).
• Right now Pluto is stationing direct at 6° Aquarius — this is a handoff. Power is moving into the people’s hands, but it’s slow.
• The fact that transiting Pallas just stationed direct on America’s South Node (karma, old patterns) means: we’re seeing old communication systems, propaganda, and “echo chambers” being revealed for what they are. Their performance no longer works.

This is ripe for grassroots organizing, whistleblowers, and collective intelligence to rise up against authoritarian information control.

4th House Pisces + North Node Transit

• Natal Ceres at 8° Pisces: nourishment, “motherland,” the soil of the nation.
• Current North Node 18° Pisces is drawing us toward the deeper values of compassion, inclusivity, and collective care. But Saturn Rx at 27° Pisces is showing the failure of structures that were supposed to protect home/family.
• This house is always about “the homeland” and fascism tries to own it (“defend the homeland”), but the North Node is tugging toward a different story of home.

5th House Aries + Chiron

• Natal Chiron at 20° Aries: America’s core wound is in self-expression, risk-taking, identity as a “hero.”
• We just had a Chiron return → national wound exposed (gun violence, endless wars, toxic “rugged individualism”).
• Neptune at 0° Aries is about to retreat into Pisces, but when it re-enters Aries, the dream of a new identity starts. Saturn will be there to test it. This is the same vibe as post-WWII, when fascism was defeated and a new “American identity” was born.

7th House Gemini + Uranus/Mars

• Natal Uranus 8° Gemini + Mars 21° Gemini: our alliances are inherently volatile and warlike. We don’t do “partners,” we do “frenemies.” Think Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.
• Transit Uranus Rx at 1° Gemini is creeping toward that Uranus return (2027–2028). When it hits, America’s entire alliance system resets. Historically, Uranus returns = revolutions.
• When it hits Mars (21°), alliances ignite into conflict — likely around 2032. This is one of the clearest markers of potential war but also liberation.

8th House Cancer Party

• Natal Venus 3°, Jupiter 5°, Sun 13°, Mercury 21° Cancer.
• This is why America is so obsessed with “homeland security,” family values, and tying money to emotional appeals.
• Fascism tries to weaponize this house (“protect the homeland!”), but because Jupiter + Sun sit here, this is also where we can rally massive shared wealth and shared values to defeat authoritarianism.

9th–12th House Layers

• Leo 9th house Lilith (27°): America’s dark side of “we’re the chosen one” exceptionalism.
• Virgo 10th house Neptune (22°): The illusion that empire = service. The veil is thinning now with transiting South Node + Venus there.
• Libra 11th house: Friendships, alliances, collective identity crumbling (Sun, Mercury transiting). The MC at 1° Libra is under siege.
• Scorpio 12th house Mars + Lilith (9°): Shadow wars, covert ops, underground violence. This is our hidden fascism signature. It’s rising now with all the 8th house and Uranus triggers.

How This Shows a Path to Defeating Fascism

Sagittarius Rising activations (Juno + Vesta): Re-lighting the sacred flame of why we exist. People are demanding integrity in belief systems.

Pluto in Aquarius 3rd house: Information belongs to the people. Authoritarian regimes rely on secrecy; Pluto here forces exposure.

Chiron return in Aries: The wound is acknowledged → only then can healing begin. Fascism thrives when wounds are ignored.

Upcoming Uranus return in Gemini: Every Uranus return = revolution. Alliances, media, and speech will be the tools of freedom.

Cancer 8th house stellium: Fascism will fall when the collective stops funding it. “Shared revenue” is key — the people reclaiming how money is spent.

I will leave you here for now. It’s a lot to take in. Remember to take breaks to breathe. I post and share a lot, but I also take a lot of breaks. I go visit family, I attend baby showers, I meditate, I journal, I drink my water.

I am still a believe in structural metaphysics and see it playing a huge role in this. We inherit identities and then marty ourselves for them. That is stopping. All the retrogrades through Leo means that performance no longer sells.

So Netanyahu can say on video Elon is a friend and he’s going to call him up, and then Elon can take away checkmarks, suspend accounts, and censor your speech, but there are many alternatives to X now. To all forms of social media. And they’re not going to stop the inevitable awakening.

America’s natal chart is showing exactly where authoritarianism rises (12th house Scorpio shadow ops, 2nd house Pluto oligarchy, 8th house “defend the homeland”).

But the current transits are lighting up the counter-moves: people power (Pluto in Aquarius), sacred fire (Sag Asc + Vesta/Juno), and grassroots alliances (Gemini Uranus).

I can’t in good conscious not speak out. I can’t promote manifesting your best life without being realistic about what that looks like. It’s not just your own framework that matters. The collective framework does, too. ❤
