This
week's guest is Kerry Noble, former member of the Christian militia
group The Covenant, Sword & Arm of the Lord (CSA). This group
operated out of Arkansas primarily in the 1970s and 80s--and Kerry
was one of the major leaders involved in the movement.
Built
on conspiracy theories, twisted theology, and a dystopian vision of
the future, the CSA in many ways was the forerunner to a number of
alt-right, white supremacist militia groups we see today. Kerry's
story is not only an unbelievable one, it also gives a step-by-step
illustration of how a person can be recruited into what essentially
became a cult-like movement that planned and nearly executed a
number of violent, extremist acts.
