Executing Non-Christians -An Epistle Poem Dear Nick, After reading your recent rant Calling for the execution of non-Christians And making America a Christian-only country, All I can say is that through your bigoted, Divisive, genocidal, hateful words, You have revealed to all That you are not a Christian In any sense of the word. Your words Show you do not follow the teachings Of Jesus, not at all. If Jesus were to come back today, he would no doubt Proclaim he is not a Christian. There are so many things wrong With your statement First, it is unconstitutional America was founded upon the principle That there would be no national religion People would be free to worship or not As they believe. People could even Follow “pagan stuff, false gods, deities, or demons. “ Second, it would be a legal nightmare To enact such a proposal. To execute Christians you would First, have to amend the constitution To declare that Christianity is the sole Legal religion in the United States. Then you would have to pass Enabling legislation Calling for Americans to register Their religious affiliation With the government. With non-Christians being sent To concentration camps Like in Hitler’s Germany. Logistically this would be a nightmare. 35 percent of Americans are not Christians That means you would have to round up And execute 30 percent of Americans 0r almost 90 million people. And how would you define Who is a Christian? Would Mormons be considered Christians? Or unitarians? Or the unification church aka the monies? In any event, this will Surely be an act of genocide And a war crime too boot. Not to mention there is nothing In the Bible Or Christian tradition That would support this horrific act Of genocidal madness. In short, Mr. Fuentes Your proposal is anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-constitution, anti-Semitic, bigoted, divisive, hateful, genocidal, Islamophobic, and a war crime against humanity. As a professed Christian, you are showing that you have no idea at all What Christianity is supposed to be And it is your brand of hateful toxic Christian nationalism That is leading to so many people, Particularly young people Abandoning the Christian religion. Thank you for reading my take on your proposal And I hope I have enlightened you and that you change your mind And repent of your proposal. Finally, pick up your bible and read it! Reflecting on What Jesus would do And that will guide you To a new correct understanding Of Christianity. Thanks Jake cosmos aller Not a Christian – are you planning on executing me too? "There is an occult element at the high levels of society, and specifically among the Jews, and you know, whenever I see that stuff that just makes me want to proclaim louder and more firmly and more rigidly that it is nothing other than Jesus Christ. No, no pagan staff, no false gods, no dietéis, no demons. It is Jesus Christ and we need to start saying that name "it's the name Jesus, talk about it, say it. Pray to him, talk about the sacrifice on the cross, that's the answer. Because so many of the people who are perpetrating the lies and the destruction of the country are evil-doers. They are people that worship false gods, they are people that practice magic or rituals or whatever, and more than anything those people need to be when we take power, they need to be given the death penalty. Straight up. And I'm far more concerned about that than I am about even non-white people or mass migration." "These people that are that are communing with demons and engaging in this sort of witchcraft and stuff, and these people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be annihilated when we take power, I'm not calling for political violence, but that cannot have any quarter in our society."

This is Jesus's country. This is not the domain of atheists devil worshipers or perfidious Jews. This is Christ's country," he said, adding those who are "agnostic" cannot be part of his "America first" movement. "no, you must be a Christian. And you must submit to Christianity." White supremacist who dined with Trump calls for ‘death penalty’ for non-Christians David Barash, The New Civil Rights Movement Last year Donald Trump dined with two anti-Semites, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, at his Mar-a-Lago resort and residence, drawing massive outrage while revealing to many Americans for the first time who Fuentes is: a white supremacist, Christian nationalist, anti-LGBTQ, authoritarian extremist who supports Trump's "America First" doctrine. In his livestream show on Sunday titled, "The Great Replacement is about White GENOCIDE," Fuentes called for the "death penalty" for non-Christians, according to Right Wing Watch (video below). "Antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist Nick Fuentes says that when his America First movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed," RWW reported. NCRM has located the full video and is publishing a longer version of Fuentes' remarks. "There is an occult element at the high levels of society, and specifically among the Jews, and you know, whenever I see that stuff that just makes me want to proclaim louder and more firmly and more rigidly that it is nothing other than Jesus Christ. No, no pagan staff, no false godas, no dietéis, no demos. It is Jesus Christ and we need to start saying that name," Fuentes said. "It's the name Jesus, talk about it, say it. Pray to Him, and talk about the sacrifice on the cross, that's the answer. Because so many of the people who are perpetrating the lies and the destruction of the country are evil-doers. They are people that worship false gods, they are people that practice magic or rituals or whatever, and more than anything those people need to be when we take power, they need to be given the death penalty. Straight up. And I'm far more concerned about that than I am about even non-white people or mass migration." "These people that are that are communing with demons and engaging in this sort of witchcraft and stuff, and these people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be annihilated when we take power, I'm not calling for political violence, but that cannot have any quarter in our society." While the start of the segment was about the occult, Fuentes quickly turned his remarks to promoting an oppressive, authoritarian version of what he calls Christianity. "We need to put up we need to put up a crucifix in every home, in every room in every school, and every government office to signal Christ's reign over our country," Fuentes declared. "Not that God needs it, but it must be outwardly expressed from the interior, that this is God's country. This is Jesus's country. This is not the domain of atheists devil worshipers or perfidious Jews. This is Christ's country," he said, adding those who are "agnostic" cannot be part of his "America First" movement. "No, you must be a Christian. And you must submit to Christianity." The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated Fuentes a white nationalist extremist "who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum. An outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, Fuentes emerged as an influential figure on the national stage during the now-infamous 'Stop the Steal' movement, which relied on misinformation to falsely claim that Donald Trump had won the 2020 election and sought to overturn the results of it." In October, after Fuentes had reportedly visited a top Texas GOP donor for several hours, creating a massive firestorm, The Texas Tribune reported, "Fuentes, 25, often praises Adolf Hitler and questions whether the Holocaust happened. He has called for a 'holy war' against Jews and compared the 6 million killed by the Nazis to cookies being baked in an oven. He wants the U.S. government under authoritarian, 'Catholic Taliban rule,' and has been vocal about his disdain for women, Muslims, the LGBTQ+ community and others." The Intercept's Prep Thakker responded to the video of Fuentes' remarks, declaring it, "An unambiguous call for religious genocide, namely against Jewish people, by the dinner guest of the Republican front runner for President of the United States. Will there be congressional hearings? Breathless, wall-to-wall coverage in nearly every major U.S. news outlet?" Writer and activist Elad Nehorai responded by blasting the House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik, saying she "wants you to vote for the presidential candidate who sat down with Fuentes for dinner." U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) wrote: "THIS scumbag is who Trump invited to his place at Mar-a-Lago for dinner. Trump is not fit to be President." Attorney and Adjunct Professor of Philosophy teaching Ethics, Richard Kalish, warned, "This is a clear, word-for-word echo of Nazi Germany." Watch the short clip below or at this link.

This is not a bad thing it’s a wonderful thing anytime. What I want you to also do, is to make sure you do for yourself, too! So, start thinking about what you want to do with poetry. Is it exploration? Is it cathartic poetry? Is it silly poetry? What gives you joy when writing poetry? Do that. Here’s a poetry form to work with while you bask in that joy. Dear Nick Fuentes Epistle poetry form What drew me to this form is that, with the dawn of the computer age that brought with it email and texting, the letter is almost a dying art in and of itself. So, I—who have always hated to write letters—am oddly interested in writing a letter poem. BRIEF HISTORY This form is around twenty-one hundred years old (New Princeton, 1351). The name comes from Latin origins. “Pistola is the Latin word for the letter” (Padgett, 69). MUST HAVES --It must be a letter. That’s it. COULD HAVES OR WHAT IS THE POET’S CHOICE IN ALL THIS? --Any number of stanzas, syllables, or length. --Any rhyme or meter. --Use “Dear __________” as part of the poem, or not—it’s your choice. You can write it to anyone (or anything, for that matter), and by anyone. SOURCE NOTES: Padgett, Ron. The Teachers & Writers Handbook of Poetic Forms. 2nd. NY: T & W Books, 2000.
