5.6 What this doesn't show

  • No full record. Only two lectures have published excerpts in news outlets. Lectures 3 and 4 rest on one reporter's posts, one anonymous account and one blog. Politico's two articles could not be fetched [U].
  • No causal link to policy or contracts. No contract, regulation or payment is tied to a lecture. The Paris and Rome meetings show access, not outcomes [U].
  • No claim that he called Obama or the pope the Antichrist. He reportedly said the Antichrist must be a popular political leader, and not Gates, the pope or himself [R].
  • Sincerity is not in doubt in the sources. Critics and sympathisers alike read the theology as sincere. The overlap with his interests is a correlation, and the thesis predates the AI boom (Guardian, NCR) [V].
  • No Brazil link. No source ties the series to Rockbridge or the Bolsonaro network [U]. The only Latin American thread is Argentina (house, Milei meeting, Vista stake; see Direction 7).
  • No group agency. Nashville's evangelical scene is context the Scene supplies; nothing shows any religious community directing or funding the series. Attendance and gender figures are attendee estimates [R].
