Battle Over Information Control: Exploring Bible365, Turning Point USA, and Judeo-Christian Advocacy
In recent years, faith-based initiatives like Bible365 have gained traction among Christian communities in the United States. Promoted as a “structured, community - oriented initiative designed to help individuals read the Bible in a year,” Bible365 has drawn attention not only for its spiritual mission but also for its ideological undertones. In this post, I share my personal reflections and questions about Bible365, its connections to Turning Point USA, and broader trends in Judeo-Christian advocacy. My intention is not to promote conspiracy theories or hatred, but to explore patterns and raise questions that I believe deserve thoughtful consideration.
Bible365 and Its Ideological Roots
Bible365, much like ISRAEL365 Action’s BIBLEIN365 program, appears to guide Christians toward embracing a “Judeo-Christian” worldview, with a strong emphasis on Zionist interpretations of biblical scripture. While this may resonate with some believers, others wonder whether these programs are subtly steering Christian theology toward political ends.
Erika Frantzve and Charlie Kirk
Erika Frantzve, now known as Erika Kirk, is the widow of Charlie Kirk, a prominent figure associated with Turning Point USA. Reports suggest that Erika and Charlie met in Israel, where their relationship began. Erika’s maiden name, Frantzve, may have Jewish roots — possibly derived from the surname Frantz, which is documented among Jewish families in Argentina and Poland. While this detail alone is not conclusive, it adds a layer of curiosity to the broader narrative.
Identity, Influence, and Transparency
Throughout history, individuals in positions of influence have sometimes altered or obscured their identities for various reasons — whether to avoid discrimination, gain access to certain circles, or protect personal privacy. In some cases, this has included changing surnames or downplaying ancestral heritage. While such actions are not inherently malicious, they can complicate efforts to understand the motivations behind public figures and organizations.
Wikipedia and the Battle Over Information Control
Recent revelations by Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger have added fuel to concerns about the platform’s neutrality. In a podcast interview, Sanger claimed that intelligence agencies — including the CIA — have allegedly manipulated Wikipedia entries to shape public opinion and suppress conservative and libertarian viewpoints. He cited WikiScanner, a tool developed by programmer Virgil Griffith, which traced edits back to government-linked IP addresses, including those from Langley, Virginia.
Sanger described Wikipedia as a “gold mine” for intelligence agencies, calling it a one-stop shop for influencing what people believe. He also noted that a large network of administrators routinely blocks contributors with opposing ideological views. These claims echo broader concerns that Wikipedia has shifted from a neutral encyclopedia to a tool of propaganda.
This context may help explain why organizations like the ADL have pushed to remove “Early Life” sections from biographies — areas that often reveal ethnic and religious backgrounds. It also sheds light on the current debate among Wikipedia editors about whether to delete Erika Kirk’s profile, which was created shortly after her husband’s death and is now locked.
If Wikipedia is being used to obscure lineage, suppress dissenting views, and promote ideological narratives, then it’s fair to ask: who controls the story, and why?
Criticism and Controversy
Critics of Bible365 have voiced concerns about its theological direction. Andrew Sheets, a retired naval officer and blogger known as “The Third Heaven Traveler,” described Bible365 on X as “a major psyop with corrupted Bible translations, perverse doctrine, political ideology, and Eastern mysticism.” While this is one person’s opinion, it reflects a broader unease among some Christians who feel that their faith is being reshaped by external agendas.
Similarly, Israel365 Action — led by Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, who calls it a “Fearless Advocacy Movement” — promotes pro-Israel messaging under the umbrella of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its mission includes advancing Judeo-Christian Zionist talking points and encouraging political support for Israel.
Connecting the Dots
Charlie Kirk’s unwavering support for Israel and his promotion of Zionist ideas among college students may be influenced by these connections. I can’t say for certain, but I wonder whether Charlie himself may have had Jewish ancestry. I could be wrong — but I believe it’s worth exploring. My goal is not to stir controversy, but to seek truth. This post reflects the information I currently have, and I remain open to learning more.
Strategic Influence and the Gospel Narrative
And to bring this post to a close, I want to share my thoughts on a relevant opinion piece published in Christian Daily International, titled “Christian Zionism is destroying gospel witness in the Middle East.” The article, written by Rev. Dr. Jack Sara, President of Bethlehem Bible College, offers a heartfelt critique of how Christian Zionism — when rooted in political loyalty or end-times theology — can distort the gospel and alienate both Jews and Muslims. His reflections remind us that true gospel witness must be centered on Christ, not on geopolitical agendas.
This message feels especially urgent in light of recent disclosures about Israel’s expansive public relations efforts targeting American Christians. According to federal filings, Israel’s Foreign Ministry is spending up to $4.1 million on a marketing campaign aimed at churches across the Western United States.
The campaign, led by a newly formed firm called Show Faith by Works, includes digital ads, op-ed placements, influencer outreach, and a mobile exhibit called the “October 7th Experience.” Its messaging is explicitly pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian, and it seeks to shape Christian opinion through biblical framing and emotional storytelling.
This initiative is part of a broader communications strategy involving AI-driven social media campaigns and influencer networks like the Esther Project, all coordinated through major advertising firms. The goal, as described by Israeli officials, is to win the “battle of narratives” in the U.S. — especially as younger evangelicals show declining support for Israel.
What concerns me is not the existence of advocacy, but the intent and impact behind it. When religious messaging is used to justify political agendas or suppress empathy for suffering — especially among Palestinians — it risks turning faith into a tool of manipulation rather than a source of healing.
As Rev. Sara warns, “Christian Zionism is a stumbling block to the gospel.” And when PR campaigns blend theology with nationalism, they can obscure the radical love and justice that Jesus calls us to embody.
