Spokane GOP leader authors 'Biblical Basis for War' manifesto calling for end to abortion, same-sex marriage and death of enemies who disagreeBy NANCY DILLON OCT 31, 2018 | 5:25 PM
A Washington state GOP politician is facing fallout after he authored a chilling Biblical Basis for War manifesto that calls for an end to abortions and same-sex marriage.
Matt Shea, a four-term rep from Spokane who wants the eastern half of Washington to become a 51st state called Liberty, recently admitted in a Facebook Live video that he created the document.
The four-page document, leaked online by Spokane resident Tanner Rowe, includes multiple biblical citations and says vanquished enemies must stop all abortions, disavow Communism, prohibit same-sex marriage and obey Biblical law.
If they do not yield kill all males, the document reads.
Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich told The Spokesman-Review newspaper that he forwarded the manifesto to the FBI for possible investigation.
The document Mr. Shea wrote is not a Sunday school project or an academic study, Knezovich wrote in an email to the newspaper. It is a how to manual consistent with the ideology and operating philosophy of the Christian Identity/Aryan Nations movement and the Redoubt movement of the 1990s.
