There's a post on the front page about Frank Gaffney's call to resurrect the House Un-American Activities Committee. What Hunter didn't tell us is that Gaffney made this call as the guest of a leading member of the New Apostolic Reformation, Rick Joyner. Joyner is founder and pastor of MorningStar Ministries (no relation to Morning Star International, the former name of the outfit known as Every Nation), based out of Jim Bakker's former complex in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Needless to say, this really hits close to home. Gaffney has been Joyner's special guest for much of this week on his Internet TV show, "Prophetic Prospectives."
Well, before endorsing Gaffney's call for a return to McCarthyism, Joyner claimed that the Muslims are engaged in a drive to take over the "Seven Mountains" of society.
Anyone who knows anything about dominionism will recognize this as a clear case of projection. A common stream in dominionist thought is the need to reclaim the seven forces that shape our culture--business, government, media, entertainment, education, family and religion--for the "Kingdom of God." Hmmm--sounds like Joyner is doing a bang-up job of describing exactly what the NAR wants to do to this country.
Apparently Joyner is so desperate to get this smear in that he can't get his facts straight. Notice that he likened the Muslim Brotherhood to the Bolsheviks. However, he incorrectly says that "Bolshevik" is Russian for "minority." As any reasonably educated person knows, "Bolshevik" actually means "majority."
According to Right Wing Watch, Joyner and Gaffney have been working together a lot of late. And on his radio show, Gaffney once described Joyner as a personal hero.
So there you have it, folks. We now have incontrovertible proof that one of the leaders of the dominionist movement has joined forces with one of the leaders of the neoconservative movement. And as most of us know, that's a pretty dangerous combination.
