The Christian Patriot movement that is organizing today to
overthrow the U.S. government (or Zionist Occupied
Government, as they call it) belongs to a long tradition of
right-wing movements stretching back at least to the Ku Klux
Klan of the 1860s and 1870s, if not earlier. This seminar
will explore that history.
