This novel is based on ethnographic research in Michigan which I, the author of this novel, conducted in the decades of the 1990s and early 2000s. The ethnographic research enabled me to write a story that identified the root cause of attacks on democracy and civil rights in America supported by militia. In the research I learned first-hand how extreme right-wing politics and fake Christianity were combined into an ideology promoted by billionaires who control businesses and churches in communities creating dependency for jobs and brainwashing people to follow directions from billionaires, distrust science, join militia, and attack democracy and civil rights including reproductive health care rights.The reason I, the author, chose to write a novel with a story rather than a non-fiction book was to enable readers to understand how extreme right-wing politics and fake Christianity operate in communities by being able to vicariously identify with a story and characters revealing how easily people can be duped and persuaded to believe fake truths and then engage in violent acts.The story in the novel walks the reader through the exploitation of the protagonist, Noe Haleakua, a Medal of Honor recipient, and Afghanistan War veteran targeted by a billionaire, Role Lambert. Lambert hires Noe as his company’s security manager and directs him to join the Good Day Ministries Evangelical church with Guy Austin Fanning as Rolf’s hand-picked preacher. Five sermons by Fanning are presented in the novel that twist and corrupt the traditional meaning of Christian Biblical scripture into premeditated, conspiratorial, fake-Christianity which is combined with extreme right-wing politics into an ideology that brainwashes Noe. Rolf directs Noe to join a militia and then commit an act of violence for Rolf’s political benefit in his campaign to be elected state governor.Extreme right-wing political ideology in America has a history of inciting violence. Preceding the 2020 presidential election thirteen members of the Michigan militia group called the Wolverine Watchmen attempted a kidnapping of Michigan Governor Witmer and a storming of the Michigan Capitol to ignite what they reportedly thought would be a second civil war. Timothy McVeigh met with the Wolverine Watchmen in Michigan before he launched the Oklahoma City bombing as domestic terrorism on April 19, 1995.
