Today, Pam Dewey, author, blogger and video producer, posted her latest video, "Strange Brew, Part III: Eye of Newt and Foot of Frog." It may be accessed here. Here's an accompanying note from Pam:
"If you have not yet seen Part 1 and/or Part 2, links to all
three current videos in the series are available at the YouTube
"Playlist" page linked below for the STRANGE BREW series. Be sure to
watch them in order...the material in each one builds on information and
commentary in the earlier entries. And stay tuned for more to come in the
series. Links will show up on this playlist page on the YouTube website each
time a new video is added to the collection.
STRANGE BREW YouTube PLAYLIST:
"The ongoing STRANGE BREW Series is an examination
of the weird symbiosis of GOP Politics, Big Business,
and Evangelical Christianity during the presidential administration
of Donald Trump, which is affecting a wide swath of US issues including the
climate change and ecological crises debates, public education, economics,
civil rights, and social justice.
"I believe my 30+ years of intensive research into “homegrown
American religion” that I share on my Field Guide to the Wild
World of Religion website, coupled with a decade of intensive research
into the nooks and crannies of US history that are not covered in the standard
narrative fed to kids in grade school and high school history classes, that I
share on my Meet
MythAmerica website, has led me to a unique perspective on the
interplay of these forces."

A central theme in Pam’s talk was the belief among many Evangelical Christians in the U.S. that President Donald Trump is a gift from God. That he has been sent by the Almighty to rectify the ungodly direction that liberal progressives have taken the country. As for his crudity, misogyny, and racism, the ECs say that is none of our business. That, they say, is a matter between him and God.
An outline of Pam’s presentation is available, with her permission, here. Prominent during the evening was the viewing of two of her masterful videos. Both are available free on YouTube:
In these three remarkable videos you will find the following ECs who play a dominant role in Trump’s ascendance, his staying power, and what his “bedfellows” envision for the future of U.S. society: Paula White, Benny Hinn, Kim Clement, Jim Bakker, Tammy Faye, Lance Wallnau, Mark Taylor, Rick Joyner, Kenneth Copeland, and Kenneth Hagin.
You will likely be as stunned as the O&I Confluence was after viewing the videos and learning about these people and their plans for the future of the U.S.
Congratulations to Pam on her deeply researched and professionally presented talk on one of the most serious problems facing America and, many believe, the Enlightenment Project.
Owl & Ibis also highly recommends Pam’s 2011 Book, Field Guide to the Wild World of Religion. It may be purchased here.
