Was Clay Clark and Gen. Mike Flynns Reawaken America Tour, held in Keizer on April 1-2, an event filled with love, as some have stated?

Does love include saying the war in Ukraine is not a war, but a false-flag operation to dismantle the deep state sites and schemes in Ukraine And that Putin may actually be the good guy fighting against the same global elite that holds us all hostages , as stated by John Michael Chambers and Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano?

Thousands of people cheered the statement by Pastor Mark Burns that, there is no such thing as trans kids only abusive parents

Is that love?

Speaker Mel K and tour organizer Clay Clark both said a Jewish person was responsible for masterminding COVID-19.

Clark at one point turned to his colleague, Aaron Antis, and asked him what he thought The hospitals of today are being turned into? Antis responded, Id say that those are the gas chambers of America Once they are in the grips of the hospital is like theyve gone to the gas chambers and they dont come back.

Another speaker, Scott McKay, used a code word at a different stop of the tour to claim a Jewish global mafia is responsible for killing you in hospitals; theyre killing you in the streets; they launched antifa and BLM. In Keizer, he added he would like to punch the people who demonstrated against the tour.

Some on social media argued these are anti-Nazi statements.

Organizations such as the American Jewish Committee lists many of the words used at this event as antisemitic code words or phrases e.g., globalists, cabal, elitists or elites, direct references to Jewish puppet-masters, etc. The Anti-Defamation League says, Comparing something that bothers you to the Holocaust, like what was said by Clark and, later on, by speaker Leigh Dundas, is deeply inaccurate, insulting and troubling. There is simply no comparison between the systematic murder of over 13 million people, including 6 million Jews, and the efforts to save lives and keep communities safe amidst a raging global pandemic.

Non-Christians didnt get much love, either, as one pastor said, Were taking this state and this country back in the name of Jesus Christ. That sounds distinctly anti-First Amendment in its aspiration to establish one movement of Christianity as the faith of the state.

There were no riots. But thousands attended a rally and cheered anti-Semitic, transphobic and anti-democratic code words and phrases. Read that again. And some of them attended an anti-LGBTQ+ rally in Salem on April 11.

If you hurt a man, in time his wounds would heal. If you break windows, those windows can be replaced. But when some of our neighbors question how safe they are to be themselves in this town, that is real violence and loss of safety.

And our top civic leaders in Keizer rolled out the red carpet to this and didnt say a word.
