New from GPAHE: Christian Zionism and America’s Holy War in Iran – The Rapture Lobby
A powerful network rooted in Christian Zionism and Christian nationalism has moved from the margins to the center of U.S. political and military power, advancing a biblical worldview that treats the war with Iran as the fulfillment of a prophetic end-times prophecy. With figures like Pete Hegseth invoking scripture alongside war strategy, and political backing from actors such as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, the article shows how theological doctrine is increasingly influencing decisions on conflict, reframing war not as a last resort but as a step toward prophetic fulfillment.

New from GPAHE: The Election Integrity Network and Beyond: Cleta Mitchell’s Expanding Influence
Cleta Mitchell’s trajectory, from a longtime conservative lawyer to a central architect of Trump’s election denial movement, underscores how efforts to undermine trust in U.S. elections have evolved into a coordinated, institutionalized campaign. Mitchell has spent years building a sprawling network of organizations and political allies dedicated to reshaping election systems under the banner of “integrity.” Through initiatives like the Election Integrity Network, she has trained and mobilized election deniers across multiple states, promoted legislation and data systems widely criticized as unreliable, and helped normalize once-fringe conspiracy theories within mainstream political structures. With allies now embedded in Trump’s administration, Mitchell’s influence has expanded, linking advocacy, policy, and federal power in ways that could restrict voting access and further dismantle democratic norms.

Across Europe, far-right movements are growing more aggressive, with a rise in vigilante patrols, harassment, and violence targeting migrants and vulnerable communities. From Hungary to France and Poland, these actions are fueled by conspiracy theories like the racist “Great Replacement” and amplified through online ecosystems, signaling a dangerous normalization of extremism in the streets.

GPAHE in the News: CNN Echoes GPAHE Warnings on Hegseth’s Christian Nationalist Influence in the Military
A CNN segment highlighted concerns that Christian nationalism is moving further into the mainstream, as scrutiny intensifies around Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his embrace of religiously framed rhetoric. Citing warnings that such rhetoric “threatens the constitutional bedrock of religious pluralism that has sustained the American military since George Washington’s Continental Army,” the TV segment reflects growing alarm over the implications of injecting theological beliefs into military leadership and doctrine. GPAHE has detailed how Hegseth and his Christian nationalist allies frame the Iran war as part of an apocalyptic prophecy. This worldview positions U.S. military power within a broader ideological mission, casting geopolitical events as steps toward a divinely ordained outcome, raising the prospect that decisions of war and peace are being guided not solely by strategy, but by doctrine.
