A Secret Christian Society That Worships Power: ‘The Family’ (aka ‘The Fellowship’)
Robert and Rebekah Mercer have spent scores of millions of dollars on various right-wing candidates and institutions in recent years, including establishment organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute. In the Republican primaries they backed Sen. Ted Cruz with the Keep the Promise super PAC and later the Defeat Crooked Hillary PAC. Both of those groups employed Kellyanne Conway and David Bossie, who later joined the Trump campaign alongside Steve Bannon, assigned their new roles by Rebekah Mercer. The Mercers fund the Ayn Randian ‘Objectivist’ think tank, The Atlas Network. ‘Atlas Network’ is a ‘think tank’ organized during Reagan’s Republican reign, and masquerading as ‘Reaganomics.’
The Atlas Network has heavily infiltrated a shadowy ‘Judeo-Christian’ secret society, called ‘The Family,’ that is centred in Washington D.C. but which maintains chapters throughout the world, including within the Vatican City. Also known as The Fellowship, the Family is a secretive Fundamentalist Christian association led by Douglas Coe. Like Bannon, The Family elevates nihilistic fascist leaders they liken to Jesus. The secret society’s basic philosophy is that, if a man is powerful, he can’t do wrong.
The logic informing this astonishing credo is that, if a man is powerful, he has been put into that position of power by God — like unto the flawed but elect figures of King David, Moses, or Solomon — and so it is The Family’s duty to serve them. For reasons of His own, God has anointed his ‘chosen,’ and so the organization must obey their edicts and serve powerful men with an unquestioning and un-judgmental authoritarianism, hence the slavish adherence to Trump. Like King David, Trump does apparent wrong; David desired Batsheba and so murdered her husband to possess her, but God in His inscrutable wisdom has appointed Trump to supreme worldly power, and so it is the duty of the Christian ‘Fellowship’ to support him in every way possible. (This doctrine also informs Bill Barr’s unquestioning obedience to Trump’s criminal edicts, acting as an operative for Opus Dei and striving to implement Fundamentalist Catholic, anti-abortion, anti-birth-control agendas in terms of embedding Religious-Right judges at the Federal and Supreme Court levels, in direct contravention of the principles of his office and his oath as U.S. Attorney General, which is to say America’s top law enforcement officer.)
The organization fetishizes power by comparing Jesus to Lenin, Ho Chi Min, Bin Laden and others as examples of strong leaders who demand absolute loyalty and who change the world through the strength of the covenants they had forged with their “brothers.” (Bannon presented his ‘Judeo-Christian values’ laissez faire survivalist views to the Third International Conference on Human Dignity, in the Should Christians impose limits on wealth creation? panel, held in the Vatican, in July, 2014. His speech was praised in Catholic publications worldwide.)
The D.C. headquarters is a brownstone at 133 C Street S.E., a red-brick structure registered as a church and affiliated with the secretive Christian group. Tucked away on the edge of the Capitol complex, the house has functioned as a shield for the lawmakers who live and pray there. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford seriously compromised the privacy of the place, and the secrecy of the group, by revealing that he had confided in his C Street “Christian friends” the cross-continental affair that he had hidden from his wife.
The Mega-Churches organized through the De Vos Evangelical billionaire family’s ‘Acton Institute,’ comprise the religious, theological arm of the ideological ‘Atlas Network.’ Active around the world, they function as a sort of Judeo-Christian values-touting missionary task force, promulgating corporate infiltration in countries like Venezuela at the moment. Touting an Ayn Randian racial-elite ‘win with Jesus’ theology, they are very active in Central and South America with regard to promoting incendiary corporate-friendly regime change, which is where Trump’s otherwise incoherent recent statements re: imminent military operations in Venezuela came from. This faction is bucking to send in the De Vos scion and corporate mercenary militia warlord, Eric Prince, of Blackwater notoriety.
But their influence is especially noticeable in the Alt-Right Movement of the current White House and administration. The Family mounts the White House ‘Prayer Breakfasts,’ and has done so since the 1950s. The Acton Institute confederation of Mega Church pastors are those who have their hands all over the president in the Oval Office in these images. There is currently a documentary on Netflix about these people, based on the book written by an insider titled ‘The Family.’
