They are still around and have become more powerful. They are still behind the National Prayer Breakfast and work with the World Congress of Families, entertaining such religious luminaries as Maria Butina. Whatever we heard about them in the W era it was not complete, they are the heart of christian nationalism in the USA and a powerful connection with Russian christo-fascism. It is one of the few "Conspiracy Theories" that is not a theory and is a demonstrable conspiracy. Jeff Sharlet's book and the Netflix doc about them should be taken in by anyone who cares about these things. Top rate stuff.
