WA State Rep: "For those who do not follow biblical law, kill all males" (FBI now involved)

[Mrs. Overall]

Just one week until the Midterm election and a Spokane Valley representative up for reelection finds himself under federal scrutiny after a manifesto distributed by him was leaked to the public.

The four-page document, titled "Biblical Basis for War" was originally reported by the Spokesman-Review. It's a radical Christian call to arms, outlining 14 steps for seizing power and what to do afterward in explicit detail. It calls for an end to abortions, an end to same-sex marriage, and if enemies do not yield and everyone obey biblical law, all males will be killed.

We reached out to Shea multiple times to ask him about this manifesto, contacting him on Facebook, calling his legislative offices in both Olympia and Spokane Valley, as well as his Spokane Valley law firm.

He has not returned our calls, but his legislative aid did say our message was being passed along to Rep. Shea. He did however post a video on Facebook earlier this month. In it, Shea admits to distributing the document, but calls it a summary of a series of sermons in the Old Testament, or "just a war theory" philosophy.

We reached out to the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force about the manifesto. They tell us they are actively reviewing the manifesto for investigative leads.

1. So, the FBI is involved? Good. They should be. n/t

[vlyons]

2. all males will be killed, and for the women? Let me guess ---

off to the handmaiden's harem for them. Hope that guy gets convicted of inciting a riot and overthrow of the gov. These Biblical evangelical assholes are NOT Christians. They are a degenerate cult.

[alwaysinasnit]

8. Yup. More females for the (chosen?) surviving males.

[NastyRiffraff]

25. They can take women for themselves

just like it says in the Bible:

but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
--Numbers 31:18

[niyad]

3. glad the fbi is involved. this guy is NUTS.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. "To Defend And Protect..."

"...the Constitution..."

So much for that.

[2naSalit]

5. There are

some pretty scary folks up in that neck of the woods... just across the state line from the Idaho panhandle with all its scary folks.

[ck4829]

6. Imagine if you will if this was the manifesto of a Muslim running

[marble falls]

7. Bad enough when they used to mutter this dark crap over a beer or in a primative church ...

but this is dangerous.

[pazzyanne]

9. I have just one comment:

This is sharia law christian style.

[colorado_ufo]

10. Old Testament.

Not Christian.

[FiveGoodMen]

12. Christians claim that the OT is relevant.

[colorado_ufo]

35. It is relevant as a basis.

Jesus discussed how it is not wise to put new wine into old wineskins. He said that if you do that, the wineskins will burst and the wine and the wineskins will both be lost. In other places the Gospels talk about being born again and putting on the new life (paraphrased). When the woman was caught in adultery, and there were men who wanted to stone her, Jesus gave them a new way to look at the situation and spared her. My point is, Jesus always showed kindness and love and forgiveness. He never advocated war or killing or anything other than loving your neighbor as yourself. And when he was asked who is someone's neighbor, that is when he gave the parable of the Good Samaritan. This is what being a Christian means to me. I honestly have no idea where or how spelling Christian with a small C began.

[efhmc]

39. This is one of the best descrption of what it means to actually be a Christian

I have seen on the internet. Acceptance of ALL people, love and caring.

[grantcart]

13. Old Testament is how Christians refer to Jewish Holy Scripture that they have

Incorporated as the first part of their 2 part canon called the Bible.

If it was promoted by Jewish followers they would call it either the Torah or the Tanakh, only Christians use the term "Old Testament".

Radical Christians misuse both the Old and New Testament to promote unchristian values exactly like the jihadists misuse Islam.

It very much is Christan Sharia Law.

[pazzyanne]

17. Thank you, you got what I was trying to say.

[Adrahil]

30. Isaiah is pretty nasty no matter how you read it....NT

[pazzyanne]

16. If you notice, christian is spelled with small case "c".

The small case christians are deadly against Sharia Law, but they are spewing the christian form of sharia law. That was my point.

[Duppers]

32. They sure can thump The 10 Commandments!!

OT!!!!!

[geardaddy]

11. And I bet this guy is terrified of Sharia.

14. And here it is ...

War guide for the Fundi Christian brainwashed.

Number 5:

Four ways to know it's time to fight:

a. God reveals His will to the leader;
b. Leader inquires of God ... Prayer council;
c. God puts it on the hearts of the people; or
d. God starts the fight.

And the terms of surrender:

10. c. ii. Must surrender on terms of justice and righteousness:

1. Stop all abortions;
2. No same-sex marriages;
3. No idolatry or occultism;
4. No communism; and
5. Must obey Biblical law.

iv: If they do not yield - kill all males.


Sick, twisted, delusional.

[gratuitous]

22. "Must obey Biblical law"

I'm confident that's probably defined somewhere in this nutcase's manifesto, but I'm also confident that by "Biblical law" he's not talking about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, and visiting the sick and imprisoned. He's probably also not into any of that sissy "serve one another in love" nonsense or lending freely to all who ask without any expectation of repayment. Biblical principles, all of them, but not prominently featured in a theology that leads to "kill all males."

[Silver1]

23. Mental midgets ...

Oh yes, frustrated, brainwashed individuals like this are very selective about what Biblical law is and says. Curiously, their interpretation just so happens to suit their depraved needs, both mental and physical.

I imagine they'd say the teachings of Christ in the New Testament about charity and humility need to be placed on hold ... temporarily of course ... because the true Christians are under attack. It's Time For War! And by true Christians, they mean reborn christians and their progeny. The rest of the world can go to hell. Actually, they literally believe the rest of us are.

I know several people raised as fundies who got out. It's a severe childhood defined by rules and which demands absolute obedience to biblical teaching - as interpreted by mental midgets like the one above.

[dae]

24. I'm certainly not communist but I am interested in

verse or verses that prohibit communism.

[yonder]

27. Yeah, me too. That jumped right out, even past the other crazy.

It must be in the Book of SamMoZekial, I forget which chapter.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. There are more verses that promote something resembling communism.

[Duppers]

33. EXACTLY!

[Silver1]

37. Yes

But why bother thinking ...

[Silver1]

36. Please let me and us know if you figure it out.

It is curious. Why would fundies even bring up communism in their "christian" "manifesto"? What could possibly be the justification?

I am a socialist, and given how much people confuse socialism with communism, I'd really like to understand the rationale, if there is one. But I doubt it. Someone peppered their little brains with it and it stuck.

15. Spokane Valley.... When us Spokanites wanted to feel urbane, tolerant and thoughtful all we had

To do was look at Spokane Valley

[The Liberal Lion]

19. Is this the RNC platform for 2020?

Seriously, I'm not joking.

[mommymarine2003]

20. He is my sister' representative.

My sister lives in Liberty Lake, WA, which is part of his district. She is an Evangelical who voted for Trump. She and I are starting to communicate again since the 2016 election, but it has been uncomfortable for us. I think I am going to ask her how she feels about this man, but I do worry that we will go backwards in our relationship. I hope he is forced to resign.

[Maggiemayhem]

21. Warriors for Christ is a real group

Not just in Washington state. Everywhere. Dominionism teaches them to run for office.

[efhmc]

40. Ted Cruz and family are Dominionists.

29. With the Biblical law thing, are they going to kill my sons for not being circumcised?

34. They hate us for our freedoms.

Getting pretty hard to tell the difference between the jihadists and some elements of the GOP.

[Demovictory9]

38. what is his full name?

[Permanut]

41. I hope he's not mixing linen and wool in his clothing..
