Late 2008, I was one of 2 people covering on Sarah Palin’s 3rd Wave/NAR background.
No established religion & politics “authorities” -journalists, sociologists, anthropologists- spoke out in support of our work, though Palin/NAR was publicly confirmed by a top NAR leader in 2011
It’s not new. In late 2008, Rick Joyner’s Morningstar ministry knocked down my Youtube video exposing Sarah Palin’s 3rd Wave (NAR, actually) ties, w/a spurious copyright complaint, just as it was going viral.
The NAR has always played this game.

Remember this when you encounter “authorities” who were around in 2008 and now profess expertise on the New Apostolic Reformation movement. They didn’t support our work in ’08, and were either honestly wrong or tried to *suppress* it. The corruption is endemic.
It would be somewhat redemptive if such individuals were to openly acknowledge this mistake. I am not aware of that *ever* having happened, to this very day – even as the NAR has come to play a central role in ongoing anti-democratic sedition, & tries to impose theocracy.
This institutional corruption I’m referring to is ongoing. For example, there are, leading up to the 2022 mid-term election, multiple NAR candidates running for public office. Sitting United States senators attend events of the theocratic NAR movement. Nobody’s covering it.
1 exception is PA gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. Even there, overwhelming evidence tying him to the NAR hasn’t inspired the MSM to pick the issue up. So, it’s just a few activists on Twitter (plus the Philly Inquirer’s superb Will Bunch) pushing the point. So it goes.
Oh yes – I should also mention this excellent July 2022 Salon article from Frederick Clarkson that ties Mastriano to NAR. All the more reason for the MSM to pick it up.
He’s on a mission from God: Pennsylvania GOP candidate Doug Mastriano’s war with the world

4 dead in Ohio: 50 years since Kent State tragedy
1. OK, OK, I know it’s always the big anniversary of…something, but to me, tonight is the only (political) anniversary that matters. What I watched 50 years ago tonight put me on a journey to become the person I am today. Pull up a chair and I’ll try to explain why.
