TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN FOR

EVANGELIST JIHAD IN THE U.S. of A.

American Madrassas?

“You could call it brainwashing, but I am radical and passionate in teaching children about their responsibility as Christians, as God-fearing people, as Americans,” says Becky, the Pentacostal, female children’s pastor who runs "Kids on Fire," a summer camp for fundamentalist Christian children in North Dakota. At one point she denies indoctrinating children politically but then admits it. 

In this 97-minute documentary, released nationwide on September 15, 2006, viewers can peek into a strange world and follow the recruitment and training of three children Levi, 12, Rachel, 9, and Tory, 10 as they are molded into “foot soldiers for the Lord,” in a camp intended to reinforce the evangelical religious training to "take back America for Christ" that most of the kids are already receiving at home (the majority of the campers are "home-schooled" by their "born-again" parents).

See the children being propagandized  by toys, Christian combat video games and anti-evolution animated videos as you listen with the kids to führer Becky's strident voice; watch the group activities as they pray over a cardboard cutout of President George W. Bush of the smirking smile to make this “one country under God,” break white coffee cups with hammers to show they’re at war with the government, chant “Righteous Judges” in protest of abortion, and hone their "prophetic gifts"; and observe incredulously how the little ones pray with such uncommon fervor and sometimes speak in tongues. Says the Becky in the film, “The extreme liberals, they have to look at this and start shaking in their boots at what these kids will be like when they grow up ... If you want to see intense kids, passionate for Christ, this is it!”

Mike Papantonio, a Methodist and Air America Radio “Ring of Fire” radio talk show host appears in the film as an antagonist and says the religious right is destroying youth and American democracy, and taking the church in the wrong direction. “They’re training Christian soldiers for the Republican Party … a “religious-political army …

“We have been asleep at the wheel, while the political fundamentalists have gained power over our country.”

Evangelical Christians in the U.S. are estimated to number some 75 million in the United States, 80% of whom vote Republican. Ted Haggard, head of the National Association of Evangelicals with some 30 million members, says in the movie (from his Colorado Springs New Life megachurch) that the children are fueling a boom in his churches that will continue to have a profound effect on U.S. politics. “There’s a new church like this every two days,” he says. “It’s got enough growth to essentially sway every election. If the evangelicals vote, they determine the election!” says the grinning evangelist head. “God has a special place for those who mess with kids and it’s not a pretty place,” says Papantonio.

Are you ready for your Rorschach test? Click here to watch a video clip of the film and ask yourself what you think of schools dedicated to youth indoctrination for the creation of religious armies - in the Grand Republic, the good ol’ U.S. of A. Did any one else hear? In their community-speak, and in sound and music, aren't they transmitting hypnotically, inducing hidden subliminal trainings?

At the core of the belief as heard in one ear is this: We are Love: Either you're with us or against us!(new window)  http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/jesuscamp/trailer/
