The report published by the Network Contagion Research Institute analyzes the use of the phrase «Christ is King» on social media and suggests that it has been appropriated by extremists. Among those mentioned in the study is Jack Posobiec, who has used the phrase in various posts. However, the report acknowledges that his posts were neutral and free of offensive content, though it questions the real meaning behind the expression.
Posobiec rejects the accusations in the report, arguing that «Christ is King» is simply a traditional Christian expression of faith, without any political or extremist connotation. In his response, he mentions that he has heard it all his life and does not understand why there is now an effort to discredit or politicize its use. According to him, the report is part of a broader agenda to control religious discourse and label certain phrases as unacceptable or even illegal.
Both Tim Pool and Jason Whitlock criticized the report, calling it an attempt at censorship and manipulation. Pool argued that any institution that publishes reports on «wrongthink» automatically loses credibility in public debate. Whitlock, on the other hand, claimed that the real objective of the study is to make proclaiming Jesus as King unacceptable. He also pointed out that including Posobiec in the report, even if only to clarify that they are not attacking him, is in itself a way of discrediting him.
Posobiec also warns that these types of studies lay the groundwork for classifying the phrase «Christ is King» as hate speech or antisemitism, which could lead to censorship or even legal sanctions in the future. In his view, this is a clear example of a psychological operation designed to limit religious freedom of expression.
Another aspect he highlighted was his disappointment at seeing Jordan Peterson’s name in the report, as he had always regarded him as a defender of free speech. According to Posobiec, these kinds of studies are part of a tactic he describes as «woke lite,» in which lists are created, people are labeled, and language is controlled based on subjective interpretations of intent.
In conclusion, Posobiec and his allies see this report as an attempt to control the religious narrative and restrict freedom of expression through labeling and censorship. As a response, he reaffirms his stance with the very phrase the report seeks to discredit: «Christ is King.»
Jason Whitlock: «Jack Posobiec said it this morning, and I really thought, hey, they are trying to make proclaiming Jesus as King illegal.
They are trying to discredit that whole thing so that people can’t say it. All because there’s a special group of people who believe they can discern.
I saw that Johnny Moore wrote something on Twitter or posted something that, I guess, is a full explanation. Oh, when Jack Posobiec uses it, he does it for a good reason.
And we included Jack Posobiec’s tweet in a way that seemed to defame him, but we actually weren’t defaming him.
Well, you know, when he says it, it’s a good thing. So we can all discern Jack Posobiec, or they can discern Jack Posobiec’s intentions.
And they have discerned Candace Owens’ intentions. She does it with bad intentions. There’s no other explanation. Hey, the Bible is very clear about judging intentions.
We can’t do it. We are not capable of that. We can say, «that’s wrong,» «that’s right,» blah, blah, blah. But intentions…
That’s not our job.
So I tend to think that Posobiec is right because this comes out of nowhere, and nobody was talking about «Christ is King.»
And suddenly, The Daily Beast runs a story and says these people must be expelled.
The National Contagion Research Institute, something made up in 2018, now says, «Oh, ‘Christ is King’ on Elon’s platform, on X, when used, is to defame Jews.»
This is a psychological operation.»
