Also, apparently von Campe and one of "Shoebat's" partners in crime used to tour together, and the "Shoebat" schtick is almost identical to von Campe's ex-Hitlerjugend schtick.

(I use quotes, by the way, because it's still up in the air as to whether Walid Shoebat actually exists or may be an alias of Top Executive Media owner Keith Davies--the two look almost to be twins in images, among other things, and some of the founders of Top Executive Media have a long history of both "Swiftboating" and a number of MLM affinity frauds as well as Amway IBO-esque pyramids promoting "motivational" materials.)

In addition, Top Executive Media has known links to dominionists dating back at least to 2002, among other things; Keith Davies, head of Top Executive Media, is a Messianic Jew/"Hebrew Christian" of the "new apostolic reformation" variety (claiming to be an "Irish Jew") and has some rather explicit linkage to groups connected with New Apostolic Reformation/Joel's Army--explicitly, a NAR group that claims the Mahdi is the Antichrist (the coming of the Mahdi is held in similar regard as the Second Coming is in Christian circles).  This isn't all--he's apparently quite the regular himself in the "travelling preacher" circuit in NAR churches (if promotion by Calvary Church of Port Orchard is any clue).

Interestingly, Davies also was an exhibitor at the International Christian Retail Show, an annual event focusing primarily on dominionist media marketing.  (And when I mean "dominionist media marketing", I mean flat-out dominionist; quite a number of companies connected to Hobby Lobby and its rather extensive family of companies promoting dominionist media have been regulars, as have FotF speakers.  A look at the exhibitor list for 2005 is particularly revealing.)  

The conference itself is essentially a front of a "Christian Media Association"; the timeline history is...odd and definitely neopente-skewed to say the least, and apparently the membership of the board of directors entirely consists of people associated with neopente-dominionist and NAR-friendly bookstores (of note, one of the largest dominionist-friendly bookstore chains in the US--Lifeway, operated by the publishing wing of the Southern Baptist Convention--is not represented, whilst single-shop neopente-dominionist owned companies and the relatively smallish Mardel chain (a company in the "Hobby Lobby complex" of NAR-funding, NAR-promoting businesses) get heavy promotion--the sole mention of Lifeway at all is in media contacts)--especially puzzling and indicative of skew.

...so, yes, as friendly as the owner of the publishing company that von Campe tends to deal with is (re neopente dominionist theology), I'd say all bets are good.  

In fact, it can be argued that von Campe's schtick--"I was a member of (insert horridly antisocial, murderous, and generally considered evil group here) until I found God and now I'm a travelling preacher warning the world how close we are to falling into the clutches of (insert horridly antisocial, murderous, and generally considered evil group that I am claiming to be an ex-member of here)" is in fact a regular trope in neopente dominionist circles, in fact, a veritable staple of the "travelling preacher" circuit.  Examples in the 70s and 80s included Mike Warnke (one of the few cases definitively debunked in the pentecostal community itself--claimed to be an ex-diabolist until Cornerstone magazine posted a damning expose showing he was lying), supposed ex-rockers who would do speeches about the "rock lifestyle" being evil, not to mention promoting the "backward masking" urban-legend (I specifically remember one who visited the church I walked away from who claimed to be an ex-member of Three Dog Night...), etc.  The whole "ex-gay" thing in and of itself can be considered a subset of this trope, there were "ex-Communists" promoted from the 50's onward, much of the appeal of folks like Thomas Muthee and the "wild man of the Amazon" shows featuring converted Waorani Nation peoples stems from the "I was of the most evil group you can imagine and then I found God" trope, and now "ex-Moslem Terrorists" (it is never, ever, ever pointed out that Islamist terrorists have about as much to do with mainstream Islam as, well, the Army of God and other clinic-bombers have to do with mainstream Christianity) are the newest trope of this sort promoted.  (I'm not counting the "I was a rampaging drunk and then found God after a near-death experience" or "I found God after dying momentarily and having a long talk with Jesus" tropes--those are so much staples of neopente-dominionist, and especially NAR, circles that it's pretty much a standard of neopente dominionist stage theatre.)

B)  WHO is using the four immoral principles of the Dominionist movement:
 
1)      Falsehoods are not only acceptable, they are a necessity. The corollary is: The masses will accept any lie if it is spoken with vigor, energy and dedication.
2)      It is necessary to be cast under the cloak of "goodness" whereas all opponents and their ideas must be cast as "evil."
3)      Complete destruction of every opponent must be accomplished through unrelenting personal attacks.
4)      The creation of the appearance of overwhelming power and brutality is necessary in order to destroy the will of opponents to launch opposition of any kind.
