'Good Way to Die': The Moonies and the Jan. 6 Insurrection

With just over three weeks to go before the 2020 presidential election, former White House senior counselor Steve Bannon addressed a crowd gathered on the grounds of Kahr Arms/Tommy Gun Warehouse in Greeley, Pa. by video. He warned about a supposed Democratic conspiracy to steal the election from Donald Trump.

“What the left intends to do — and you’re seeing it in Pennsylvania right now — use the courts, use social media, use the mainstream media to try to make sure Trump is not declared the winner that night,” Bannon said. He went on to promise that the Trump forces would “win this thing,” adding: “Pennsylvania is the key that picks the lock for a second Trump term.”

Frank Scavo, a local Republican politician who had previously served on the Old Forge School Board in Lackawanna County, emceed the event. Following Bannon’s remarks, Scavo reinforced the previous speaker’s points.

“You heard Steve Bannon,” Scavo said. “Now is our time, now is your time. Working the polls — all you’re doing is making sure that it’s going straight, that it’s going according to plan. All you’re doing is making sure that there aren’t busloads of people which show up and just happen to vote.”

Kahr, whose factory is in Worcester, Mass., is controlled by Kook Jin "Justin" Moon, 28, the elder Moon's fourth son and slated to be second-in-command of the multibillion-dollar Moon empire when the 79-year-old father dies. Justin Moon and his siblings are revered by church members as the Messiah's "True Children."

Creepy.

So if Moon is the 2nd coming, and TFG is also the 2nd coming,
it must get confusing for the base Republicans.

The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies and was essentially set up to propagandize for the GOP.

That old chestnut? Good God in Butter people still believe that lie? It doesn't matter if you
have one or one hundred bus loads of people because you can't vote unless you are a registered
voter. If your name is not in the poll book you can't vote or if you are a real pain in the ass
they will give you a provisional ballot and the ballot will not be counted.

they sign next to their name in the precinct register or they do not vote. i do tru to help them find out where they are supposed to be voting. (unless they are a total pain and i give them a provisional ballot and, theoretically, someone figures out if they are supposed to vote and where. )
