When the author drops the bomb that Billy Graham was (by association) a player in the accumulation of a US massive nuclear arsenal, it renders the balance of the article suspect. Fake news, this old chunk of coal says. However, the man was responsible for keeping his ministry alive. No way he was squeaky clean (Edit: per a purist).
The Red scare at home, unabashed moves toward empire abroad, the phrase ‘under God’ inserted into the Pledge of Allegiance, the scapegoating of homosexuals as ‘security risks,’ an insane accumulation of nuclear weapons, suicidal wars against postcolonial insurgencies in Asia—a set of desperate choices indeed. Through it all, Billy Graham was the high priest of the American crusade, which is why U.S. presidents uniformly sought his blessing.”
Fear? Jim Bakker sells dried food from his ministries for the EMP bomb that will certainly starve millions.
