Two articles side-by-side reveal Trump’s foreign policy as a Christian Crusade—thinly-disguised territorial sovereignty projects using racialized intervention frameworks that those tracking extremist ideology should immediately recognize. The boundaries theology I’ve been exposing lately in Thiel’s network (e.g. ACTS 17) isn’t just abstract philosophy, as operational military and immigration policy are being rapidly implemented.

This is important documentation of ideology-to-policy pipelines that most analysts still unfortunately miss. These aren’t isolated policies—they’re components of a coherent ideological project.

The obvious pattern:

Nigeria: Trump threatens military invasion (“guns-a-blazing”) over alleged Christian persecution, despite the reality being far more complex—attacks target both Christians and Muslims, with Muslims actually comprising the majority of victims in the affected regions. This is disinformation 101. Trump is very strategically and literally erasing any victims who aren’t Christian. His false oversimplification serves to also erase Nigeria’s roughly equal Christian-Muslim split (220 million people) and complex drivers of violence: resource conflicts, Boko Haram extremism, ethnic clashes, and secessionist movements. It’s a bogus good/bad god/devil narrative likely erected to pre-excuse war crimes.

South Africa: The administration is prioritizing white Afrikaners for refugee admission while slashing total refugee numbers to 7,500—down from 125,000 under Biden. This is a 94% reduction in humanitarian protection that redirects America’s refugee program into a white immigration pipeline. This follows Trump’s executive order inverting reality to cut aid over alleged “unjust racial discrimination” against Afrikaners—a claim that is an obvious strategic lie, given whites (7.3% of population) control 72% of farmland while Black Africans (81.4% of population) own just 4%. Trump inverts “persecution” language to protect racist whites unjustly accumulating wealth, while framing accountability for racism as discrimination against whites. It’s the same bogus narrative structure as Rhodesia’s “they’re taking our farms” propaganda that whites used to setup a racist violent dictatorship as their protection from victimhood.

Taken together, Trump is openly stating white minority rule is justified through false manufactured victimhood narratives. He is using the main stage, just like Hitler after 1933, to position whites as victims in order to justify militant expansion of their unjust advantages. Peter Thiel’s boundaries theology (his father’s Nazism) has become operational through military threats and immigration policy.

Weaponization of “religious freedom”:

This isn’t new. Trump’s appointed “Ambassador for Religious Freedom” Sam Brownback in 2019 declared:

…there is no nation on the earth that pushes human rights of religious freedom any more than the United States.

Yet, when he was asked to explain this in terms of Trump’s Muslim ban, Brownback called it “an immigration issue.” Yeah, this was typical of Brownback, not even trying to hide “religious freedom” now meant only Christian and white.

When asked about Egyptian authorities closing 14 Coptic Christian churches, he bizarrely praised it as Christians who “would rather have the current situation.” Empty rhetoric.

When challenged about UAE restrictions on press freedom, he deflected by trying to bring up a Pope’s visit.

Trump defiles “religious freedom”, seeing it as nothing more than a weapon. It gets used to enable authoritarian regimes for political aims, and against any nation that resists American interference. Nigeria and South Africa fit this exact template—religious freedom rhetoric deployed not to protect persecuted people at all, but cruelly to revert American foreign policy as antiquated crusader rhetoric (normalizing racist war crimes).

Kansas Konnections

It is worth noting that Brownback emerged from the same Kansas domestic terrorism watch list (John Birch – Cleon Skousen) as another appointee of Trump: Mike Pompeo.

…at the “Kansas God and Country Rally with U.S. Congressman Mike Pompeo” he says being a “Christian warrior” means “we shot abortionists and called it justifiable”, and multiculturalism or diversity of views are intolerable because “worshiping other gods”.

Both of these extremist political appointments by Trump in his last term systematically had worked to replace evidence-based policy with “Christian” militant faith-based assertions.

Pompeo in 2020, for example, said he could justify the Soleimani assassination with secret squirrel knowledge of “imminent attacks” while simultaneously admitting “we don’t know when, we don’t know where.” He scaffolded an anti-science framework of faith out in the open, to normalize “Christian Warrior” acts of violent rage targeting Islam with an “invisible empire” of secret police (e.g. KKK).

Don’t forget Pompeo’s infamous 2014 DARK Act already had established him explicitly denying Americans the right to know anything about potential harms (from GMO foods)—preempting state-level science-based labeling requirements.

So his anti-science 2020 “imminent but unknowable” doctrine six years later destroyed the technical term of imminence (measurable time and place), within a long term American disinformation war.

Trump’s baseless Nigeria threats fall into this much older and broader pattern than many are probably willing to admit. It now serves double-duty because Muslims being persecuted are purposefully being erased, while America also repeats early 1900s Presidential propaganda (e.g. Birth of a Nation) about white Christians being the only people in need of “guns-a-blazing” protection.

The Brownback-Pompeo evangelical “end times” framework is entering a new escalation, however. Trump’s broad militant anti-Islamic threats—where “imminent” now means “we get happy pulling triggers”—is unmoored from “we know of a specific threat”. Any evidence that contradicts this narrative by American white supremacists will simply be erased, like so many murders of African leaders by Nixon’s pre-Church Committee CIA.

The “Christian Warrior” extremist:

Those who study American history should recognize the many domestic hate group platform signals, as they are expanded into foreign policy. “Christian warrior” training materials illustrated long ago how religious narratives are a proxy in white supremacist iconography of law enforcement and religious authority.

Both Trump policies follow a “Cleon Skousen” playbook, weaponizing “religious freedom” and “persecution” narratives to justify interventions, which do nothing more than reinforce colonial-era racial hierarchies.

Trump’s belligerent “Department of War” rebranding (rather than Defense) invokes pre-1947 framing of conquest, instead of security. His Skousen-like “guns-a-blazing” rhetoric specifically echoes gunboat diplomacy and the Banana Wars era when US intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean was justified under racist paternalism. It’s simply white supremacist militancy that Trump is directly invoking.

• Selective victimology: Christians in Nigeria warrant military invasion threats; Muslims facing the same violence are invisible. White Afrikaners warrant preferential refugee status; Black South Africans facing actual structural disadvantage don’t exist in the calculus.
• Sovereignty denial: Nigeria’s sovereignty can be violated based on a mischaracterized internal security situation. South Africa’s post-apartheid land reform efforts are framed as justifying punitive measures. This conditional sovereignty mirrors the charter cities ideology Peter Thiel has been promoting so heavily lately—Black and Brown people are allowed sovereignty only when they comply with white/Christian rules and priorities.
• The ACTS 17 framework: Both cases fit the boundaries theology pattern I’ve identified spreading in Peter Thiel’s racist billionaire gospel club—asserting a divine/natural order where “Christian” (e.g. whites-only) populations have special status and claims that transcend national sovereignty.

This is the inversion and opposite of humanitarian policy. Domestic extremist frameworks become foreign policy when power is captured.

America First was a nativist slogan of hate groups in the late 1800s that restarted the KKK in 1915, which the America First Committee modernized to expand Nazism.

Today it is abusing humanitarian language to advance a radicalized racist geopolitical project that treats foreign government sovereignty as conditional, while positioning ONLY white/Christian populations for privileged claims to militant protection and movement.

The connection between Trump’s “America First” rhetoric and white supremacist ideology was immediately called out by me in January 2017. This is where we started:

And here is where we are now:
