It ain't just here, folks!
I have recently returned after living for ten years in Queretaro, Mexico, having just written "The Sudarium Trilogy," a thriller about a holy relic, an innocent girl and a diabolical sect that involves her in a scheme to promote the second coming.
Sheer escapism, right?
By chance, I stumbled upon the Talk to Action site and discovered my "thriller" was far closer to the truth than I imagined while writing it.
In Mexico, there is said to exist a secretive society, made up of wealthy aristocratic Mexicans, whose goal, with the aid of the Catholic church, is to change Mexico into a theocracy in the hands of the select few. The group, founded in university circles in the 60s, is called El Yunque, had its first flowering in Queretro and purportedly counts among is membership highly placed politicians, the country's wealthiest businessmen and prominent members of the clergy.
There have been a few books written about the group, vague and relatively short of details; and videos exist that claim to show an actual initiation of a new member into the orgnization. But for all the vagueness of hard documentation, few are the Mexicans who don't subscribe to its existence.
El Yunque entertains unyielding opposition to democracy and its general social attitudes are best suggested by its name, which means "the anvil" in Spanish.
Dominionism would not appear to recognize borders, although Mexico, as we all know, is just a stone's throw from Rick Perry's Texas.
