VP Mike Pence, Franklin Graham and Russian Orthodox Priest are Far Right Religious Zealots

In the wake of this week’s horrific shootings in Las Vegas & the usual drivel and excuses spewing from Republicans, Far Right commentators & usual gang of idiots, I decided to explore a few peculiar stories that keep exposing links between the NRA, the GOP & members of the far-right wing of U.S. Christianity.

What seems to be very strange bedfellows begins to make a lot of sense when we Follow The Money.

A. The NRA & Russia and the Merchants of Death

Josh Sugarmann, Executive Director of the Violence Policy Center has said, “The NRA is a gun industry trade association masquerading as a shooting sports foundation. The organization has received tens of millions of dollars in gun industry financial support from around the globe and has partnered with gunmakers on a wide range of marketing efforts. The NRA’s reasoning in working to establish a Russian beachhead could range from working to end those Obama Administration sanctions that among many other things ban the import of Russian-made AK-47s and assault shotguns to hoping for new financial donors as the result of a loosening of the country’s gun laws.”

There has been major trips between Russia and U.S. with NRA leadership like David Keene & Pete Brownell and infamous Trump supporters like David A. Clarke promoting NRA-Russian business deals that stand to make billions.

B. The Trump Russia Conspiracy featuring an all-star GOP cast.

Ladd Everitt in Medium writes, ”The first hint that the NRA’s position on Russia might be changing occurred on July 28, 2016. On that day, John Bolton — a foreign policy surrogate for the NRA and chairman of their International Affairs Subcommittee — appeared on Breitbart News Daily with Stephen Bannon to defend then presidential candidate Donald Trump after Trump urged Russia to continue its cyberattacks on his opponent (“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails [on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private server] that are missing.” ​​​​​​

Mueller’s Investigative Team is hard at work untangling this web of deceit with possible indictments against the Trump Administration, Family & GOP Leadership (See Rep. Dana Rohrabacher -known through the halls of Congress an Putin’s favorite Congressman)

C. The unholy alliance of the U.S. Christian Right and the Russian Orthodox Church

In what seems like the strangest collaboration Far Right Wing Evangelists like Franklin Graham have traveled to Russia to meet ( and coordinate?) the enactment a host of Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice Laws.

Putin is happy to use the Russian Orthodox Church to “push against the liberal west” says Russia analyst Casey Michel describing Russia as “the leader of the global Christian Right.”​​​​​​ Under the guise of “national security” Putin is free to put-in place as many restrictions on cultural and social activities in order to control and consolidate his power.

It is common knowledge that Trump had picked Chris Christie as his V.P. But Paul Manafort ( who is intimately tied to Russians & Ukrainians) wanted Mike Pence. Manafort maneuvered (lied) to Trump to say their plane had a problem & they had to remain in Indianapolis overnight.

He arranged for Trump to meet Pence & “Mother” for breakfast the next morning. The deal was done and is there a bigger Theocrat than Pence?
