A Christian Internicine War on US Soil? [1]

This is got to be the stupidest, most destructive time line ever . . . and this may all be in the realm of CT BUT if you had told many in 2000 about the long term planning and moving parts into place to get us to where we are today, you’d have been called a conspiracy theorist back then. So keep this information in mind when you see what SCOTUS, The Heritage Foundation, and Project 2025 are doing.

internecine adjective 1 : of, relating to, or involving conflict within a group bitter internecine feuds 2 : marked by slaughter : deadly especially : mutually destructive “Internecine.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/internecine. A

I was a Republican for about 10 years

During those 10 years (in the 90s) I was privy to a lot about the right’s plans for public education and it’s plans to take over everything (Rushdoony would be so proud) So when I ran across Shannon Vavich’s videos I took it in the same vein.

Shannon Vavich, is an American, living in Germany. She is is wife of a retired US Marine colonel of 30 years and the mother of 7 kids. She has a website called The Flying Kitchen

My job is to help you see the threat fascist-far-right Catholic cults like Opus Dei pose on democracy. I am a lifelong Catholic - now a liberal Catholic. - Shannon Vavich

She posits that it is Opus Dei as the power behind Project 2025. That Opus Dei is willing to let evangelicals do the work to bring the world these “united” right wing Christians want. Then they will take over and bring about a Catholic Monarchy for the US.

Theis is actually part of what the KKK’s mission is; To work against the power of the “Papists.” To think they too might being played would be delicious if the results weren’t so deadly.

There will be blood.

There has already been blood, see the 30 Years War.

The Thirty Years' War fought primarily in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648, was one of the most destructive conflicts in European history. An estimated 4.5 to 8 million soldiers and civilians died from battle, famine, or disease, while parts of Germany reported population declines of over 50%. Related conflicts include the Eighty Years' War, the War of the Mantuan Succession, the Franco-Spanish War, the Torstenson War, the Dutch-Portuguese War, and the Portuguese Restoration War. The war had its origins in the 16th-century Reformation, which led to religious conflict within the Holy Roman Empire. The 1555 Peace of Augsburg attempted to resolve this by dividing the Empire into Catholic and Lutheran states, but the settlement was destabilized by the subsequent expansion of Protestantism beyond these boundaries. Combined with differences over the limits of Imperial authority, religion was thus an important factor in starting the war. However, its scope and extent was largely the consequence of external drivers such as the French–Habsburg rivalry and the Dutch Revolt. - Wikipedia

It is this and more (including Puritans killing Quakers in Massachusetts) that made the founders very big proponents of the separation of church and state.

Shannon Vavich is very open that she wants to warn and she wants the fracturing of the far right Christians to happen now, to help diminish the power they think they have. Informing the far right protestants that they are actually being controlled by Opus Dei for the ends of Opus Dei — for a Catholic King not a protestant one, might just be it.

She covers the election of Pope Leo XIV and the possible check on Opus Dei he represents:
