Conspiracy Theorists: The Future of Conservative Politics in Montana

With pamphlets entitled “Communism, Hypnotism, and the Beatles” and “Marxist Minstrels,” Rev. David Noebel made a career of whipping up the conspiracy minded. Though this sounds laughably dated to us, the movement has actually seen a surge since the election of President Obama angered the TEA Party and its birthers.  This weekend, Noebel and his unique brand of religious fundamentalist conspiracy theories came to Montana.  They were welcomed with open arms.

Former Republican legislator,  current birther, and head of the so-called Montana Family Foundation did his best to fuel the revival the conspiracy theory wing of the GOP.  Jeff Laszloffy sent out an email alert to his followers (pasted below the fold) about the latest wingnut conference in Billings this weekend.

And so Montana conspiracy theorists were treated to a weekend of lectures from the man who pioneered the belief that, I kid you not,

“rock music was a secret communist plan to make teenagers mentally retarded.”

Laszloffy’s entire email is pasted below the fold.   At least its finally public that the leader of the religious right in Montana believes that discussions on why “49% of our young people under the age of thirty prefer Marxism to our current system?” and the secret government “plan to destroy the West” are an important part of the modern conservative movement.

I would like to pass on this information regarding the Big Sky Worldview Conference, Friday through Saturday, October 21-22, in Billings, Montana.

 Greetings from the Big Sky Worldview Forum Group

 

We are offering you a matchless opportunity to discover answers to questions like: 

  •  What is the fountain/source of what is happening today with the demonstrations on Wall street?.
  •  Why is there so much talk about taxing the rich and bashing capitalism?
  • What are the “origins” of this “social justice” theme I am hearing in my church?
  • Why are conservatives using the label Socialist or even Marxist to describe our president and what is a Progressive anyhow?
  •  What are the motives of George Soros, Bill Ayers, Van Jones?
  •  Why do I need to know about Rev. Jim Wallis and his associates?
  •  And how did we ever get to the point where 49% of our young people under the age of thirty prefer Marxism to our current system?
  •  And what is a worldview anyhow - how does it apply to my Christianity?
  • What is the Frankfurt School or the Fabian Society – that sounds like just history to me?
  • And why do these radical conservatives make a big deal out of Hillary or Barack’s love for the book Rules for Radicals - isn’t Saul Alinsky dead and buried?

October 21-22nd at the Holiday Inn, Dr. David Noebel, founder of Summit Ministries will be lecturing on the general subject of Cultural Marxism.  Dr. Noebel started what is considered the leading training center on worldviews fifty years ago.  Since then this scholarly group has taken about 30,000 youth through an intensive two week training in subjects relating to what makes up the total Christian perspective from theology and ethics to economics and  science (origins).  Even before that, David was writing and lecturing on Communism and is without question one of the leading scholars on this subject in our country.

 

I continue to be amazed at the apathy in our country towards Marxism, many believers really do not know what it is.  We have assumed that what we call Communism collapsed with the fall of the U.S.S.R. but actually it just changed hats and mushroomed world wide – and in the U.S.A. This atheistic worldview has been growing in our school systems, government, economic system etc. for  a century because scores of well organized, well funded, dedicated groups have pushed it.

 

If you have grown “sick and tired” of what you see happening in our country,maybe you need to come and take a look at what is the primary source of these issues – along with our apathy and ignorance.  And, understand that those attitudes also have been carefully nurtured by the Progressive movement for over a century.

 

Finally a word about what I consider our most besetting barrier to discipleship, it relates to “priorities” if I may live dangerously and bring up this PC subject -  really – about what takes us “CAPTIVE!”   Hopefully, we are still teaching our youth the 1st Commandment –  ”You shall have no other gods before/beside me.”  Yet even the most committed seem to struggle with the “schedules” that are imposed upon uswhether that is work, athletic or recreational interests, other “extra-curricular activities” etc and they are all good.  But then we have to make “THE CHOICE” about any given activity.  We often chose poorly if I may dare to state my opinion -  discipleship often comes in dead last.!  And you think our young people are not watching our choices and can not couple that with the commandment?

 

What has my “lecture” got to do with worldviews?  Everything – mostly that our young adults are voting with their feet.  They are walking away from our faith at an alarming rate.  Take a minute and read this article Six Reasons Young Christians Leave the Church - Barna Group, web page, Sept. 2011 .

 

 Winning the hearts of our youth is the primary reason David Noebel has invested his life in this work and we are sympathetic to that goal.  We encourage you to come – bring a young person, bring a friend.  Focus on word-of-mouth dissemination of your invitation.

 

Below, you will see the tentative program.  I will also attach it because I know differing software programs can make it not so nice to read.

 

We appreciate your interest and ask you to consider this opportunity.  There is no admission charge but contributions will be accepted.  Feel free to forward this to friends and call if you have questions.

    JESUS HATES JUSTICE! But he LUVS him some corporate fascism! I mean, really, when you THINK about it, who needs justice? No one I’d say. Just WHERE does it say in the Bible that thou shalt not screw your neighor? NO WHERE, that’s where! Oh sure, it says that you can’t screw your neighbor’s wife, but most all them wacko pastords are gay ANYway!

    But NO WHERE does it say that you can’t screw your neighbor! It’s Biblical. It’s capitalism. It’s GODLY! THOU SHALT HOSE THY NEIGHBOR AND TO HELL WITH JUSTICE! It’s the unwritten commandment!

    It’s a good message the good pastord is preaching. But that part about being retarded if you listen to rock music, I wonder just WHAT kinda music skinner listened to when young? Gotta be rock! The rock of ages!

  2. Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

    HOLY SHIT! Wait just a doggone minute here! WHERE have I heard that goofy term “cultural marxism” before? Where was it? Where? THAT’S IT! That nutty dude in Norway that SLAUGHTERED all those innocent kids was a HUGE believer in some bizarre concept called cultural marxism! Has Jerk Laffloopy sponsored yet ANOTHER hate conference here in Montana? Is cultural marxism, whatever in the hell THAT’S supposed to mean, REALLY something so important that Laffloopy needs a conference on it? I guess the bottom line is just WHY Jerk Laffloopy is bringing this hate crowd to Montana. Is he REALLY trying to set off some nutjob to imitate the Norway dude? Nothing makes a great statement like SLAUGHTERING kids, right Laffloopy? Maybe Jerk Laffloopy can influence some dumbass little dufus with enough discipleshit to murder a bunch of kids listening to rock music somewhere. Or better yet, RAP music! Talk about cultural marxism! What is MORE communistic than white kids listening to black musicians?

    Sheesh. The Pubbies otter be REAL proud of Jerk Laffloopy. He’s a winner! No WONDER he like Someshit Ministries!

  3. Trust No One

    i forkin’ knew it because the first time i heard elvis i actually felt that extra copy of chromosome 21 taking over my body. it’s been a long hard road ever since. peace all ya’ll

  4. rleeh

    lk…
    such a heathen ye be…
    you’ll be saved one day…
    seems herr doktor professor noebel has the usual credentials…
    his “honorary doc” is from an unaccredited college that lasted less than twenty years and, of course, had no doc program.
    these guys take the average political scam to the next logical level.
    and when they say it ain’t about the money….

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      Well, Michelle Barfman’s hubby claims to pray away the gay. Maybe this Dr. Nibble fella can pray away my heatheness with his discipleshit! I dunno. Problem IS though that every time I attended a house of whorship, I simply stared at all the attractive ladies’ BUTTS until eventually boredom overcame me and I fell fast assleep! HEY, it’s not my fault. It’s God’s! He created me without the so-called god gene. I was born with a HEATHEN gene! And to tell the truth, I kinda like it that way.

  5. Farmboy

    WOW, Where do I begin ok, Im not a great biblican scholor or theologen, but I have read my bible, and first off Jesus ran the money changers out of his church, and he also said “It is easier for a camel to go threw the eye of a needle then for a rich man to get to God.” So I do not believe Jesus was for greed, in fact I believe just the opposite, he detested greed. Same token also he said “Give unto Cesar what is Cesar’s and give unto God what is God’s”.

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      Fboy, this is NOT Christianity that these morons are preaching. It simply is warmed over John Birch Society horseshit pure and simple. It’s the Big Kockh Brothers now funding religeeous sounding cow flop seminars. Pastord Faux Dr. Nibble has a looong history of being a Bircher. Commies everywhere. These dudes are some sorry sacks of shit.

  6. Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

    A leetle background on Dr. Nibble and his Someshit Ministries. Seem the good faux doctor has quite a history with rightwing kooks and bigots. Well, not only that, he’s a certifiable slimeball. No WONDER that Jerk Laffloopy is pals with this moron.

    Summit Ministries
    MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo.
    http://www.summit.org

    David Noebel, once an evangelist with the late Billy Joe Hargis’ scandal-plagued Anti-Communist Christian Crusade, founded Summit Ministries in 1962, holding camp-style conferences for Christian college students.

    Now an unaccredited college of its own, boasting additional campuses in Ohio and Tennessee and the hearty endorsement of Focus on the Family’s James Dobson, Summit graduates more than 1,300 students a year — all of them steeped in both Christian “dominionism” (generally, the idea that Christianity should dominate society and politics) and anti-gay politics.

    In 1977, while still a member of the conspiracy-minded John Birch Society, Noebel was one of the first to recognize that anti-gay activism could surpass anti-communism as a winning issue for fundamentalists. The U.S. was “rotting within,” Noebel warned, and “homosexuality is only an issue when a nation is rotting morally.” Noebel wrote a book called The Homosexual Revolution and gave anti-gay lectures peppered with slurs like “fruits” and “fairies.”

    In 1986, he teamed up with Paul Cameron (see Family Research Institute) and then-Summit instructor Wayne Lutton, currently a leader in the white-supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, to write Special Report: AIDS, which became one of the most controversial anti-gay tracts ever published.

    Pat Buchanan’s blurb on the back cover sums up the spirit of this Special Report: “In a healthy society,” Buchanan writes, homosexuality is “contained, segregated, controlled and stigmatized.”

    Bolstered by Cameron’s studies alleging that gay people were intentionally spreading the AIDS virus, Special Report proposes a number of means to “suppress” the outbreak, concluding that it might become necessary to “exile” all “active homosexuals” from America.

    Summit continues to preach anti-gay propaganda to the next generation of fundamentalist activists, with Mike Haley, an “ex-gay” campaigner who is Focus on the Family’s “youth and gender specialist” and author of a book called Straight Answers: Exposing the Myths and Facts about Homosexuality, currently on the faculty.

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      Seems that late evangelist Billy Joe’s “scandal” was that he had the unseemly christian habit of boinkin’ other dudes! Yippers! Seems that he was quite the horndog for same sex. Yikes! This did NOT sit well with Faux Dr. Pastord Nibble! And it has YET to be proven that Pastord Nibble himself also likes to nibble the fellas! But it probably will. These dudes never fail to flail their human frailties!

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      I feel sorry for you, James. Straight to Perdition for the likes of you who make FUN of Pastord Faux Dr. Nibble and his Someshit Ministries! Not only are you a traitor, but a HAIRYtick as well, as our good friend Mr. Mudd might spell it! He’s into phonics AND phonies!

      Kind of amazing though, really, that with enough billions, the Big Kockhs could turn even the crank Birch Society into a mainstream organization by getting people to vote AGAINST their own best interests in the name of JAYsus! Now THAT’S a pretty slick trick! Guess that it’s all about humility after all. Guess that JAYsus WANTS you to be a poor, stupid, ignernt, humble, subservient asshole to the rich so’s that you can enter the Kingdumb of Heaven! Works for Mr. Mudd!

      Ain’t that America!

    • Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

      The Muslim who??? Too funny. Kinda reminds me of the Grapes of Wrath when the thugs called Tom Joad a red. Poor Tom didn’t have a CLUE as to what they were talking about. He was just trying for a little social justice so to speak.

      And to imply that the folks protesting could even be influenced by some so-called Muslim Brotherhood is terribly insulting and suggests that OWS folks are equally as stupid as the Teatard folks. This is sad.

      Bottom line? There are some very, very rich, dangerous, anti-American dudes called the Big Kockh brothers trying like hell to foment hatred and violence one more time before they die. They are some sorry sick sumbitches. I think that most people are finally getting things figured out, and that scares the sh*t outta the oligarchs like the Big Kockhs. They’re pullin’ out all the stops now. But their day is done.

  7. Larry Kralj, Environmental Rangers

    And now, the Commies wanna kick JAYsus of the freakin’ MOUNTAIN for God’s sake! Damn Commies! Just when you THINK you’ve got’em on the run, they’re trying to interrupt Jesus’s SKI vacation! HEY, I THINK that Jesus is entitled to a free pass on the mountain, don’t you? What in the world is HAPPENING to our world when Jesus can’t even enjoy a day on the slopes?

    Commies I tell ya! Can’t even let Jesus be a ski bum!

    Join the fight to SAVE our ski bum JAYsus!

    HOLY CRAP! THE POPE’S A COMMIE! Quick, someone tell Joe Mudd! He’s gonna wanna tell Pastord Faux Dr. Nibble!

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/24/vatican-economic-reform-radical_n_1028061.html

    They done’er. They got to the Pope somehow and made him the Antichrist! Justice my foot! It’s GAYness, not justice! Well, guess it’s up to Pastord NIBBLE and his Someshit Ministriess to save humanitee now! The gay grows stronger every day! Gay commies EVERwhere!

  9. Havre Voter

    Himes and Laszloffy worked together on several bill, ballot initiatives, and projects over the years. Apparently, they succeeded in making our state a target of nuttbaggery and black helicopters. This is embarrassing for the religious right, for sure.

  10. Jack Ruby

    Is this one of the same scam seminars that Derek Skees lectures at? Derek were you handing out door prizes?

  11. Mike J.

    A friend of mine, who once had belonged to C.U.T. (Church Universal and Triumphant) told me, when he lived at their compound, that rock music was forbidden since it elicited sinful and even evil emotions in the listener. I also think that you would find quite a few parents nowadays who would have little good to say about today’s rock music. However, their rock music was fine, in the day.

  12. Ilikewoods

    I would say something here, but the conversation isn’t gonna get any better if I threw my 2 cents in. Larrys righ!t took the words out of my mouth!
