Ok, Just like myself, Many people of FAITH fall for this Marxist -Socialist -Disguised as people of FAITH. Yes in my 30's I fell for it. I did my internship with the Gamaliel foundation at MICAH and then I went and worked with ISAIAH. Believe my, These folks have worked to bring in Brandon Johnson in Chicago etc.

These pastor's are criticizing Trump when their deception is they are truly Marxist-Socialist warriors. LETS see what FORMER EMPLOYEES like me have to say once they left this Organization these pastors REPRESENT!!

Influencewatch.org tells us about the Gamaliel Foundation Ideological Deception:

1) The Gamaliel Foundation deliberately downplays the Far-Left ideology that stands behind their carefully targeted campaigns” As one observer put it, Gamaliel Foundation “Fuses their Left-extremist political beliefs with a smooth, non-ideological surface of down-to-earth pragmatism.

2) Advocacy of immoral means: according to an account by a former Gamaliel Foundation Staffer: Chief Director and creator of the Gamaliel Organization Greg Galluzo stated, “The ends justify the means and told them to have an impact on society we had to be willing to lie, cheat, and steal for the greater good.”

3) The Gamaliel Foundation funding comes from several left leaning groups including the George Soros Open Society Institute

Leftists don’t believe in God, but they work overtime to undermine Him.

I have never met a Christian Nationalist. If there are any, they wouldn’t fill a circus clown car.

These people are insane. Let them name popular influential ‘Christian Nationalists’!

Maybe Ben Shapiro? Kash Patel? Vivek Ramaswamy? Tucker Carlson?

Newsome as to make April I be,eive it is, “muslim heretige appreciation moth” or some such nonsense- at this point, those who wish the destruction of this nation are just rubbing their antiamericiansm in our faces.

The only “Christian nationalists” that I know of were in the Christian Nationalist Crusade, a Judeophobic and white-supremacist group led by Gerald L. K. Smith that died out about 50 years ago.

Thank you.

Follow the power.
Follow the money - which seeks to use the power to gain more power.

In 2016 it was the Alt Right.
In 2020 it was White Nationalism.
Now in 2024 its Christian Nationalism.

All they have are -isms, -ists and -phobias.

From that Influencewatch.org link:


https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/gamaliel-foundation/

The Gamaliel Foundation was originally founded in 1968 by famous left-wing agitator Saul Alinsky to assist African-American home buyers in the Chicago’s West Side.11. . .

Ideological Deception
The Gamaliel foundation has been accused of “specializ[ing] in ideological stealth.”49 Gamaliel Foundation “deliberately downplay[s] the far-Left ideology that stands behind their carefully targeted campaigns.” 50 As one observer put it, Gamaliel Foundation “fuse[s] their Left-extremist political beliefs with a smooth, non-ideological surface of down-to-earth pragmatism.” 51

Author Heidi Swarts explains, in order to downplay negative sentiments that “blue-collar members might harbor toward its elite, liberal leaders… Gamaliel’s main “ideological tactic,” is to present its organizers as the opposite of radical, elite, or ideological.”52 As evidence of this Swarts says, “they (Gamaliel’s organizers) deliberately refrain from using leftist jargon like ‘racism,’ ‘sexism,’ ‘classism,’ ‘homophobia,’ ‘oppression,’ or ‘multiple oppressions’ in front of ordinary members — even though, amongst themselves, Gamaliel’s organizers toss around this sort of lingo with abandon.”53

Other critics have echoed these accusations of intentional deception, saying, “Gamaliel organizers make a point of presenting their ideas as practical, pragmatic, and down-to-earth. When no one else is listening, Gamaliel organizers may rail at ‘racism,’ ‘sexism,’ and ‘oppressive corporate systems,’ but when speaking to their blue-collar followers, they describe their plans as ‘common sense solutions for working families.’”54. . .

Criticism from the Catholic Church
AT ODDS WITH CHURCH DOCTRINE
High-ranking church leaders and religious organization have spoken out against Gamaliel Foundation.

In March 2010, David Ricken, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Green Bay, wrote a letter stating, “it is clear to me that principles of the Gamaliel Foundation are inconsistent with the tenets of our Catholic Social Teaching. It is not fitting for a Catholic entity to enter into a formal association with another organization when there is such a conflict of principles.”55 Ricken’s letter was prompted by Gamaliel Foundation efforts to prop up a healthcare coalition that “supported abortion rights in the health care bill before Congress.”56

ADVOCACY OF IMMORAL MEANS
According to an account by a former Gamaliel Foundation staffer, who claimed to have been mentored by Gamaliel leader Greg Galluzo, “He [Galluzo] felt that organizers should fight fire with fire” and would “give a cultish advanced training seminar titled ‘Walking the Edge of Immorality’ where he repeatedly stated ‘the ends justifies the means’ and nonchalantly told us that to have an impact on society we had to be willing to ‘lie, cheat, and steal for the greater good.’”57

This former staffer elaborated, “I have never seen such a strange and warped culture anywhere”, where “staff were pitted against each other.” 58 Ultimately, the former staffer said, “I left Gamaliel disillusioned and disgusted by what seemed to me to be pure evil. How could a faith-based organization operate under such a skewed, cynical view of the world?”59

Associations with President Barack Obama
The Developing Communities Project, a Gamaliel Foundation-affiliated organization, hired future President Barack Obama as lead organizer in 1985, where he was trained “to raise money for his community organization and how to design community strategies”60 by Gamaliel Foundation leadership.61 “Obama learned many of his community organizing skills from the Gamaliel Foundation.”62 Most notably, “He learned how to disguise his intense political convictions by portraying them as practical problem-solving motivated by religious faith.”63

When Obama “entered electoral politics, he was also able to play ‘good cop’ to Gamaliel Foundation’s ‘bad cop,’” applying “external pressure to ‘organize’ his legislative colleagues to come around to his point of view.” 64 Critics noted that although “it is almost unheard of for a U.S. Senator to attend a public meeting of a community organization, but [then-] Senator Obama attended a Gamaliel Foundation affiliate public meeting in Chicago.”65

In 2009, a surreptitiously recorded video was released of a Gamaliel Foundation meeting from 2008 with attendees appearing to pray to an idolized President-elect Obama. The Gamaliel Foundation group could be heard appearing to appeal to Obama with cries of “hear our cry Obama” and “deliver us Obama.” It is unclear exactly what the participants were saying.66
