He had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. Five, six white people. Pushed me in the car. I'm going, what about? Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you got to do is we see the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it. She was very upset, crying. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light.

Hey, everybody.

This brief is called Anti-Fascist Christianity, Black Jesus Part 1, with Part 2 dropping on Monday on Patreon for our subscribers.

My name is Matthew Remski. This is Conspiruality, where we investigate the intersections of conspiracy theories and spiritual influence to uncover cults, pseudoscience, and authoritarian extremism.

You can follow myself, Derek and Julian on Blue Sky.

The podcast is on Instagram and threads under its own handle.

And you can support our Patreon as well.

of the black Jesus known by enslaved people and colonized people. So today I'll unpack the origins of white Jesus versus

the revolutionary response of Black Jesus, which I think maps pretty directly onto the binary
