An article by TheRevealer.org's Jeff Sharlet on the relationship between American fundamentalist Christianity and the country's history. His trademark rambling, ethnographic, personal style.

This quote says a lot

“‘Those who control the present,’” Federer continued his quotation
of 1984, “‘control the past.’” He paused and stared at me to make sure
I understood the equation. “Orson Welles wrote that,” he said.

I will have to return to finish this rather long article as about half-way through a dark cloud of depression began to descend. However I shall read this until the bitter end ..... and probably more than once, as the expression that most readily springs to mind is, " Know thine enemy"

One interesting thing is just how new a phenomenon much religious fundamentalism is.

Thank you for clipping this, Enbar.
