Independent journalist Jonathan Larsen reported on 2 March that numerous US service members have lodged dozens of complaints saying senior officers are calling the war on Iran part of “God’s divine plan,” with claims that US President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus” to spark Armageddon. “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” one combat-unit commander allegedly told troops during a readiness briefing, according to a complaint submitted to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

From The Flag To The Cross: Fascism American Style

October 13, 2025 Ellen Taylor, Popular Resistance. Educate! Book Review, Fascism, Religion, Wars and Militarism

The Law and Disorder radio program has immortalized selected recent interviews as it expands into print media with a new book, From the Flag to the Cross: Fascism American Style. This compact collection draws a portrait of fascism that does not dwell on lurid images and horrors of fascist history, concentration camps, prison gulags or wars ravaging the planet, led by fascist governments. Instead, it delves into the structural foundation of fascism, how to identify it, and ideas about organizing to resist it. For two decades, Law and Disorder has reached a large number of devoted listeners with its weekly broadcasts on 140 stations across the United States and its podcasts. Its interviews have greatly deepened our understanding of complex world events. Like genocide, fascism is a controversial subject.

Russophobia By The Collective West Opens Doors Of The Cold War 2.0

The current orchestrated Western policy of total Russophobia, directed by Collective West, can be recorded to start by the British Cabinet of Theresa May – the focal servant-dog to US global imperialism, followed by the creation of the War Cabinet of the US President Donald Trump (first administration), was a nothing else than a jumping to the new stage of the post-WWII Cold War (2.0) which was originally started (1.0) by the US and never was over as its main task of total economic, political, and financial subordination or/and occupation of Russia still is not realized.

Muslim American Workers Advancing The Labor Movement

June 27, 2025 Chaumtoli Huq, Portside. Strategize! Labor Movement, Muslim Americans, Religion, Worker Rights and Jobs

Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the U.S., with an estimated 8 million Muslim-Americans projected by 2050. Muslims have long been part of American history, especially within African American communities. Today, Muslim Americans are racially, ethnically, and nationally diverse—and face significant economic hardship and workplace discrimination. According to the Pew Research Center, they are three times more likely to be unemployed and more likely to earn under $30,000 annually than the general population. Despite these challenges, Muslim Americans are politically engaged and active in community issues.

Inside New Jersey’s Fight Against Anti-Abortion Centers

October 31, 2024 Kimberly Izar, Next City. Resist! Abortion, Anti-abortion Centers, health, New Jersey (NJ), Religion, Reproductive Rights

Pilgrim Medical Center is a small, privately-owned abortion clinic in downtown Montclair, New Jersey, offering abortions conducted by licensed and board-certified medical professionals. Just three blocks down the street stands First Choice Women’s Resource Center. Its website promises “compassionate care” with cost-free services, and answers questions about abortions: How late can the abortion pill be taken? How much does an abortion cost? When is the latest I can get an abortion? “If you think you could be pregnant, please come in for a pregnancy test and to receive information about your options,” the website encourages. But First Choice does not actually provide abortion services or referrals to abortion providers.

‘Faith In Dialogue’ Won’t Stop Zionist Violence

In the early 2000s, I was a member of a group called Academics for Israeli-Palestinian Peace. The group went often to the Middle East, visiting most of the countries of that region. We repeatedly traveled to Israel and the Palestinian Territories. We interviewed both leaders and ordinary folks. When we would return to the U.S., I would seek out venues to report on our findings — which could be critical of Israel. I spoke at academic institutions, civic organizations, and to religious groups. However there were always two groups which kept me away from their members: Most synagogues — It was easy enough to explain this. Most organized Jewish institutions are partisan.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 136: Netanyahu Approves Ramadan Restrictions On Al-Aqsa Mosque

Months after Israel’s initial declaration that they would never attack a hospital, the Israeli military has assaulted several medical facilities in Gaza, rendering them inoperable and leaving the people of Gaza to die slow and painful deaths. On Sunday morning, Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis went out of service following a brutal military raid that lasted several days over the course of last week. In addition to several Palestinians who were killed by Israeli snipers near the entrance to the hospital, eight people in the hospital later died due to the siege of the facility, which prevented electricity and medical supplies from entering the hospital, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The Hypocrisy Of The Christian Church

April 9, 2023 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Christianity, Radicalism, Religion, Wealthy Class

We are here today to call out the Pharisees that run this seminary, the ones who speak about loving the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized, in the abstract, but who really love the rich, including the rich who make their fortunes by exploiting the families of the students I teach in the Rutgers college degree program in New Jersey prisons, students, many of whom should have never been imprisoned, who are victims of our system of neo-slavery. We are here today to call out the liberal church, so quick to wrap itself in the cloak of virtue and so quick to sell virtue out when it conflicts with monetary interests and requires self-sacrifice.

Gracias A Dios: The People’s Church In Nicaragua

March 5, 2023 Becca Renk, LA Progressive. Educate! Catholic Church, Nicaragua, Religion, US coup

“We are not typical Catholics,” explains Yamil Ríos of the Saint Paul the Apostle Christian Base Community in Managua. “Because we don’t have a priest here, thanks be to God.” Around the room parishioners chuckle on their folding chairs which are set up in a half circle. At the front of the room, musicians shift their instruments, gearing up for another upbeat number. In today’s Nicaragua, there is a rupture between the Catholic hierarchy and its abandoned base. The politicized official church has long collaborated with U.S. imperialism and, as a consequence, is losing the community of faith comprised of the poor and working people of Nicaragua.

The Catholic Church Expelled Me For Supporting Women Joining The Priesthood

December 24, 2022 Chris Hedges, The Real News Network. Resistance Report Activism, Catholic Church, Chris Hedges, Religion

As a young man, Roy Bourgeois enlisted to fight in the Vietnam War. After being injured, he became a volunteer at a local orphanage and was inspired to become a priest upon his return to the US. Bourgeois became a priest in Bolivia during the dictatorship of General Hugo Banzer. He decided he could not be an apolitical priest. He spoke out against Banzer’s political repression, leading to his arrest and expulsion from Bolivia. Back in the US, Bourgeois organized protests outside Fort Benning, Georgia where the US was training Salvadorian soldiers to fight the leftist insurgency. He was imprisoned twice for illegally entering the base during planned direct actions against the war. In 2012, Bourgeois was excommunicated by the Catholic Church for supporting the ordination of women.v

Supreme Court Takes ‘Wrecking Ball’ To Separation Of Church And State

June 28, 2022 Julia Conley, Common Dreams. Educate! Public schools, Religion, School prayer, Supreme Court

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Monday offered "another example" of the court's "conservative supermajority continuing its politicized agenda," said the head of one of the nation's largest teachers unions as the decision overturned decades of precedent which prohibited educators from leading students in religious displays. In Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, which concerned a coach who led prayers on the 50-yard line of a Washington state high school's football field, the court's right-wing majority ruled that the coach's prayers were protected under the First Amendment and that school officials who asked him to stop were not acting in the interest of the nation's bedrock laws separating church and state.

On Contact: Veritas: A Harvard Professor, A Con Man And The Gospel Of Jesus’ Wife

July 5, 2021 Chris Hedges, RT. Resistance Report Academia, Chris Hedges, Media, Religion

On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to journalist and author, Ariel Sabar, about his new book Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man and the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife. Sabar’s book exposes much about the bankruptcy of contemporary theology and the yearning by academics to be lionized by the mass media and popular culture, even at the expense of truth. In 1945 a collection of early Christian codices, or books, in fourth century A.D. script, were discovered at Nag Hammadi near the Nile, about 300 miles south of Cairo. The 52 works were translated from earlier Greek texts, many of them written by Gnostic sectarians. The Gnostics were condemned as heretics by the early church and their writings were banned.

Occupied Jerusalem - The Red Crescent said that the number of injuries among Palestinian worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque has increased to reach more than 215, including 135 cases that were hospitalized and 4 in critical condition. Most of the injuries were to the face and eyes, as the occupation forces have been firing rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades at the worshipers, the Red Crescent said. Several worshipers are also trapped in the Qibali prayer room at Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the Israeli forces prevented them from going to the courtyards of the mosque, and attacked them with tear gas canisters.
