Former-US Army Matt Shea who predicts another civil war in the United States refuses to speak with the media and airs his concerns over conspiracy theories like FEMA camps with InfoWars’ Alex Jones.

Shea has organized the Spokane chapter of the anti-Muslim ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a hate group.

Shea has spoken at a secretive religious community run by a man who founded the Christian Identity movement, which, according to the Anti-Defamation League, believes white Europeans to be the lost tribes of Israel and considers Jews to be the offspring of Eve and Satan.

• Five-term Washington state Representative Matt Shea has been circulating a manual for a ‘Christian’ holy war in the United States.
• The manual is a how-to guide on killing non-believers (anyone not a Southern Baptist) and establishing a Christian theocracy under Fundamentalist Priests.
• Now he is under FBI scrutiny.
• The document, titled “Biblical Basis for War,” goes point-by-point over how a Christian theocratic movement should exterminate its opposition in a battle to win a hypothetical holy war.
• I have included his outline below for academic purposes for friends who tackle Islamist extremism/terrorism to see how similar the Southern Baptist Evangelical ideas of war are.

10. 5. Cut down only non-­‐food trees necessary for supplies (safeguard production over politics or retribution).

Where the Spirit of God is, there is Liberty

He references the US Civil War and writes “war is not waged against nations but against man (no scorched earth or Sherman’s march to the sea).”

Shea has replied to those in the media who are alarmed at his fanaticism and religio-fascism that “The counter-state is working overtime,” adding that “there are two main counter-states in America: Marxists and Islamists.” Shea has also promoted conspiracy theories, that global warming is a conspiracy to “manipulate the public mind.”

He also frequently met with and supported rancher Cliven Bundy’s uprising against the Bureau of Land Management, which he opposes for the despotic act of charging fees for grazing on federally maintained land.

In the above ‘Alliance Defending Freedom’ Power Point presentation used by the U.S. Army Reserve in training soldiers on religious extremism it already shows that Evangelical Christianity (Southern Baptist) is already considered a threat by elements of the United States Armed Forces.

Americans need to understand that extremism is a complex phenomenon and followers who believe that their beliefs (whatever religion), customs and traditions are the ‘right way’ and all others practicing their faiths are the ‘wrong way,’ will become susceptible to politicians who use religion as a tool of control and manipulation – whether they are Pakistani Mullahs, American Pastors or Hindu Swamis – or others.
