National Redneck Association exposed, Eldon New, posted and distributed by Coup2K.com, March 2001
This dangerous cult uses several "front" organizations to influence the public.(1) It has all of the classic attributes of a cult: A) A charismatic leader (alias "Moses")(2) B) It recruits new members through proselitizing and mis-information. C) The victims are brainwashed through marketing and pseudo-science. Some of the illogical beliefs that the unsuspecting followers are asked to subscribe to are: . You can solve problems through violence.(3) . Having guns in the house makes you safer.(4) . Smart people, (like Rhodes Scholars) are dangerous and should not hold positions of power.(5) . Critical thinking is un-necessary, and even discouraged.(6) _____________________________________________________ footnotes: (1) some of the fron1 organizations: The National Rifle Association. The Michigan Millitia, The Aryan Brotherhood, The Christian Coalition. (2) Charleton Heston campaigned for the redneck "W", alias "Jethro" last year in several states, visiting mainly areas where the Klan had been active many years ago. (3) The fallacy of solving problems with violence is encouraged. In particular, a conservative group related to this cult has published a guide to "good" movies, which says that the westerns of the sixties, including the John Wayne variety, which glamorize killing innocent native Americans and subjugating women, show proper role models for children. (4) It is well documented in the scientific literature that the statitiscal chances of being shot by a gun ingrease dramatically if you have one or more in the house. (5) The hate radio shows and fundamentailists sermons produced by this cult present the idea that certain intellectual politicians are dangerous and evil, simply because of thie knowledge and abillities. (6) The Education Department under Ronald (Alzheimers) Reagan discouraged the teaching of critical thinking in the nations high schools. This was orchestrated by members of the Nationa Redneck Associataion cult in return for help defeating educated politicans in the Senate and House. Also, the Moonies are behind it! from the web site "Freedom of Mind": "What is the difference between a destructive cult and a cult?" "Essentially a destructive cult is a pyramid-shaped authoritarian regime with a person or group of people that have dictatorial control. It uses deception in recruiting new members (e.g. people are NOT told up front what the group is, what the group actually believes and what will be expected of them if they become members). It also uses mind control techniques to keep people dependent and obedient. Destructive cults try to "clone" people to become small versions of the cult leader, rather than respect people's individuality, creativity and self-will. " [dittoheads] "Cult groups are any group of people who have a set of beliefs and rituals which are non-mainstream. As long as people are freely able to choose to join with full disclosure of the group's doctrine and practices and can choose to disaffiliate without fear or harassment, then it doesn't fall under the behavioral/ psychological destructive cult category. Of course, there are also those groups which are anti-social (e.g. the KKK, nazis, white supremacists) which teach hate openly which can certainly be considered to be destructive also."
