“Some Folks Need Killing!” So declared North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson on June 30. At a church. With the full endorsement of the church’s pastor, Reverend Cameron McGill, who explained how Robinson only meant the people ‘trying to kill us’ should be killed. Two days later, Heritage Foundation President and Project 2025 leader Kevin Roberts made his now infamous “Second American Revolution” speech, warning that the revolution would remain bloodless “if the left allows it”. Days later, Donald Trump laughably disavowed knowing anything about Project 2025. And while Roberts’s comments have received ample attention, Robinson’s “Some Folks Need Killing!” comments have remained an under-explored topic. Because as we’re going to see, Mark Robinson has become quite a celebrity on the far right. With one very notable fan base: The American Renewal Project dedicated to recruiting conservative pastor to run for office and the Council for National Policy (CNP) figures behind it. Not only is Robinson the star of American Renewal Project events, but it turns out Reverend McGill is a recruiter for the group too. That project, formed in 2005 by political activist David Lane but with roots going all the way back to the formation of the CNP in 1981, is what we’re going to explore in this post. Because as disturbing as Robinson’s “Some Folks Need Killings” comments may have been out of of context, they are a lot more disturbing when placed in context. A Christian Nationalist dominionist context that warns of plans for a lot more than just ‘some’ killing.
“Take her out”. That line from an audio recording of President Trump that rocked the political world in DC on the final day of the Democrats’ impeachment case against Trump in the Senate impeachment trial in part because it made clear that the whole #UkraineGate scheme was up and running by at least as early as April 2018. As we’re going to see in this post, perhaps the most significant aspect of this leaked audio arriving at this moment is that it’s a timely reminder that there is an entire chapter of the #UkraineGate story that’s been largely ignored up to now. The Naftogaz chapter. That’s what this post is going to cover: the basic facts about this Naftogaz side of the #UkraineGate story. The basic sordid scandalous facts.
