TODAYS CHRISTIAN LANDSCAPE IS LITTERED WITH THE DROPPINGS AND DISCHARGE OF AGENTS OF MIS-INFORMATION AND COORDINATED CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” – Lenin

 The tools of the trade for deceivers are the same no matter what realm they are engaged in. This is most disturbing to discover at work in Christian media circles and especially in “Christian Discernment” ministries. Actually it should come as no surprise that the significant EXPOSURE OF deceptions, false teachings and COMPROMISED evangelical leaders would give rise to a significant UPTICK  in highly trained Controlled Opposition. MANY “big faced” Christian leaders who play both sides of the streets have dedicated teams of social media trolls and infiltrators engaged to protect them from being exposed. 

SIMPLE RULE OF THUMB- NEVER FOLLOW THOSE WHO ASSOCIATE WITH THE FRINGE OR WANT TO TAKE YOU THERE.

EXAMPLES IN THE CURRENT LANDSCAPE :

AVOID IDENTITIES LIKE “CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST” AND NEO -CONFEDERATE CHRISTIANITY”,

DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE WHO TAKES FUNDING WITH STRINGS AND IDEOLOGIES ATTACHED OR WHO WORKS FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES.

NEVER TRUST A “MAINSTREAM WHISTLEBLOWER” WITH OLD INFORMATION & WHO IS GIVING COVER TO -OR HIGHLY PRAISED BY KNOWN AND EXOSED BAD PLAYERS.

HOW CONTROLLED OPPOSITION WORKS

There is no doubt for those who detect when it is in play and those who fail to detect it that “Controlled opposition is no doubt a powerful strategy”.

ONE CLUE- When a group of researchers has been exposing a significant new set of details and dirty players for some time  and suddenly a new “whistleblower”  or insider comes out of nowhere with much hype and runs to the head of the line claiming to “expose” what is already known by those engaged in the issues for some time – this person is very likely sent in as controlled opposition.This is especially likely when the new arrival has a more mainstream outlet and receives PRAISE  from the very people or group that others have been exposing at the core of the concerns . Suddenly these kind of operatives will seek to  change the talking points, DEFLECT FROM the larger guilty parties AND establish a new narrative with lesser “villains”, heavily edited information and significant GAPS  in the most critical information. 

WARNING 

Christian media is perhaps an even MORE infiltrated reMORE infiltrated by them than ever.  

SOME HISTORY AND STRATEGY OF “CONTROLLED OPPOSITION”. 

Originally the term was coined to describe government agents hired to  infiltrate activist groups and subvert them from within, it has come to describe any person or a group or organizations that isn’t actually working for the side they claim to align with . Controlled opposition could be directly controlled by or in contact with a movement’s opposition, but they could also merely have an agenda aligned to interests other than the one presented. Either way the outcome is the same..DECEPTION  is intensified. 
TO MIS-INFORM – DIVIDE AND CONQUER 

 Controlled opposition can send spies to infiltrate and send information back to opposition organizations, while at the same time be publishing disinformation to the groups they only are  pretending to ally with. This also allows the agents to inspire and feed  infighting to make sure the work of the infiltrated  group does not succeed.
SUBVERSION BY ENTICEMENT TO THE FRINGES 

Controlled opposition will often make decisions harmful to their movement and try to get THEIR DECEIVED VICTIMS to follow. It might look to be helping and even allow token “wins” but NEVER seeks REAL victory.The  goal is not to WIN. That is NEVER the plan. The GOAL is to  undermine that strategy and ensure failure in the end. Controlled opposition can be TOUGH to identify for some. However, the easiest way to identify controlled opposition is to observe who and what information they seek to hide from the public and WHO THEY ARE PROTECTING FROM  exposure. 
DOES IT ALL SOUND LIKE “CONSPIRACY THEORY”? 
PROPAGANDA IS EVERYWHERE. NEVER FORGET IT. 

GUESS WHAT- COUNTERING CONSPIRACY WITH MORE CONSPIRACY WAS PERFECTED BY THE OBAMA WHITEHOUSE.
EXAMPLE-

NITIVE 

” COGNITIVE INFILTRATION” – COUNTERING CONSPIRACY WITH CONSPIRACY THEORY.

“In 2010, Marc Estrin, a novelist and far-left activist from Vermont, found an online version of a paper by Cass Sunstein, a professor at Harvard Law School and the most frequently cited legal scholar in the world. The paper, called “Conspiracy Theories,” was first published in 2008, in a small academic journal called the Journal of Political Philosophy. In it, Sunstein and his Harvard colleague Adrian Vermeule attempted to explain how conspiracy theories spread, especially online. At one point, they made a radical proposal: “Our main policy claim here is that the government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories.”

CONCLUSION

“Controlled opposition is more dangerous to a movement than open opposition. Open opposition inspires resistance, while controlled opposition is designed to absorb that resistance.”- 

Since FIRST engaging the concerns over massive infiltration into Christian Seminaries which has flooded our pulpits with the chaff of  serious false teachings and eroding the GOSPEL – this writer began to speak out, research and write articles to help other believers who were seeing and detecting the same in their churches and Christian institutions. This author’s goal has always been to seek the truth and speak it no matter who wants it hidden or how determined they are to hide the TRUTH. Within weeks of first getting some national attention to the research, “controlled opposition ” agents descended on this author seeking to tell this author who to expose and who NOT to expose, who to work with and who not to work with …and  what details to address and what to leave out. Navigating this sad landscape has not, and  will never be easy. 

We must wise up BUT NEVER become like them.

Matthew 10:16New King James Version

Persecutions Are Coming

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless[a] as doves.

We must NOT WASTE WORDS IN FOOLS & GOD IS WITH US TO PLEAD OUR CAUSE.

Proverbs 23:

6 Do not eat the bread of a[b] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.

9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words.

10 Do not remove the ancient [c]landmark,
Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;
11 For their Redeemer is mighty;
He will plead their cause against you.
