Ziklag and the EagleAI Voter-Challenge Pipeline

A Christian-nationalist charity, a Delaware LLC, and an AI tool for purging voter rolls.

Ziklag (legal name USATransForm, EIN 82-4819179) is a Southlake, TX 501(c)(3) whose revenue grew 753% in five years ($1.3M → $11.1M). This investigation traces how Ziklag-aligned dark money flows, via Donors Trust and the Compass Legal Group-created nonprofit 'Valid Vote', into EagleAI, an AI-powered voter-roll challenge system.

The charity

Ziklag operates under the 501(c)(3) USATransForm (EIN 82-4819179, Southlake TX, founded 2018). Its 990s show revenue rising from $1.3M (2018) to $11.1M (2023), a 753% increase. Known donor families include the Uihleins (Uline), Greens (Hobby Lobby), Wallers (Jockey), DeVos (Amway), the Koch network, and Jeff Yass.

The tool and its legal shell

EagleAI (founded 2022 by retired Georgia physician Rick Richards and his son John) is an AI voter-roll challenge tool. Valid Vote, a nonprofit created by Compass Legal Group, hosts EagleAI operations and accepts dark-money donations without disclosure.

How Christian Nationalists Built an Election Machine

A timeline of coordinated power, hidden money, and the systematic conquest of American democracy

# 1993
## The First Stone

[[Michael Farris]] co-founded the [[Alliance Defending Freedom]], a Christian legal organization that would spend the next three decades reshaping American law. What began as a small outfit defending homeschooling parents would eventually become a billion-dollar litigation machine capable of overturning Roe v. Wade.

This wasn't just another advocacy group. ADF was building the legal architecture for a movement that believed Christians should control every sphere of American life.

---


# 2009
## The Money and The Ministry

Two organizations launched that would define evangelical political power for the next decade.

[[Ken Eldred]], a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, founded [[United In Purpose]]—bringing tech-world data sophistication to evangelical voter targeting. Meanwhile, [[Ralph Reed]], the notorious operative from the Christian Coalition days, established the [[Faith and Freedom Coalition]].

Reed understood something crucial: churches weren't just places of worship. They were the most effective volunteer network in America.

---


# 2012
## Campus Crusade

[[Charlie Kirk]] founded [[Turning Point USA]] at age 18. The organization would plant chapters on college campuses across America, recruiting young conservatives into a pipeline that led straight to the most powerful political operations in the country.

What appeared to be a student organization was actually talent scouting for a war that hadn't yet been declared.

---


# 2013
## The Seven Mountains

[[Lance Wallnau]] popularized the [[Seven Mountain Mandate]]—a dominionist theology that called for Christians to conquer seven spheres of influence: government, media, education, business, family, religion, and arts/entertainment.

This wasn't metaphorical. Wallnau meant literal conquest. "We don't want a seat at the table," he preached. "We want to own the table."

The theology would become the ideological foundation for everything that followed.

---


# 2016
## The Proof of Concept

[[United In Purpose]] deployed its data operation for [[Trump 2016 Campaign|the Trump campaign]]. Using sophisticated microtargeting, they identified and mobilized low-propensity evangelical voters who had never participated in elections before.

Trump won. The model worked.

[[Ken Eldred]] had proven that evangelical voter data could deliver the presidency. Now he needed to build something permanent.

---


# 2017-05
## The Executive Order

Four months into his presidency, [[Donald Trump]] signed [[Executive Order 13798 (2017)|Executive Order 13798]], directing the IRS to exercise "maximum enforcement discretion" on the Johnson Amendment.

Translation: Churches could endorse political candidates without losing their tax-exempt status.

For 70 years, the Johnson Amendment had been the wall between church and state. Trump's order told the IRS to stop enforcing it. The wall began to crumble.

---


# 2017
## The Purge and the Launch

[[Jim DeMint]], the Tea Party senator, was ousted from the Heritage Foundation over disagreements about Trump. Rather than retreat, DeMint founded the [[Conservative Partnership Institute]]—a coordination hub for Trump-aligned conservatives that would become the nerve center of the entire movement.

[[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] wasn't a think tank. It was command and control.

---


# 2018
## Ziklag Emerges

In the aftermath of the 2016 victory, [[Ken Eldred]] founded [[Ziklag]]—a secretive organization requiring members to have a minimum net worth of $25 million.

[[Ziklag]] wasn't just another donor network. It operated under [[USATransform]]'s 501(c)(3) tax status, meaning donations were tax-deductible while being used for political operations. Wealthy donors could fund partisan activity and write it off on their taxes.

The organization adopted the [[Seven Mountain Mandate]] as its ideological framework and the [[Christian Nationalism|Christian nationalist]] goal of establishing "Christian dominance across American institutions."

Behind closed doors, America's wealthiest evangelicals were building something unprecedented.

---


# 2019
## The Political Machine

[[Charlie Kirk]] spun off [[Turning Point Action]]—a 501(c)(4) political arm of Turning Point USA. While TPUSA maintained its nonprofit status for campus organizing, TPA could engage directly in elections.

The separation was strategic. Kirk now controlled both the talent pipeline and the deployment mechanism.

---


# 2021-01
## The Call

Two days after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, few noticed another scandal.

[[Cleta Mitchell]], a lawyer who had spent decades in conservative politics, was on a January 2nd call where [[Trump 2020 Campaign|Donald Trump]] pressured Georgia officials to "find" enough votes to overturn his loss.

Mitchell didn't fade away after the scandal. She joined the [[Conservative Partnership Institute]] as Senior Legal Fellow and founded the [[Election Integrity Network]]—an operation focused on voter roll challenges and poll watcher recruitment.

What Trump failed to accomplish through pressure, Mitchell would attempt through systematic legal challenges in every swing state.

---


# 2021
## The Think Tank

[[Brooke Rollins]], Trump's former Director of Domestic Policy, became President and CEO of the [[America First Policy Institute]].

AFPI positioned itself as the "White House in waiting"—developing policies and vetting personnel for Trump's inevitable return. While Heritage Foundation worked on Project 2025, AFPI built the actual staffing pipeline.

---


# 2022-10
## The Platform

[[Elon Musk]] purchased [[X (Twitter)]] for $44 billion.

Control of the platform meant control of the information environment. Musk immediately began amplifying conservative messaging, reinstating banned accounts, and using the algorithm to boost right-wing content.

The world's richest man had just bought the megaphone.

---


# 2022
## The AI Weapon

The [[Conservative Partnership Institute]] incubated [[EagleAI]]—an artificial intelligence-powered tool for challenging voter registrations.

[[Cleta Mitchell]] promoted the technology at demonstrations across the country. EagleAI could scan voter rolls, identify "suspicious" registrations, and generate mass challenges faster than any human operation.

It was voter suppression at machine speed.

---


# 2023
## The Operations

[[Ziklag]] activated three coordinated campaigns:

**[[Operation Checkmate]]** funded election integrity groups to challenge voter rolls in [[Arizona]], [[Nevada]], [[Georgia]], and [[Wisconsin]]—targeting Democratic voters under the guise of removing "ineligible" registrations.

**[[Operation Steeplechase]]** recruited conservative pastors to mobilize their congregations, coordinating with the [[Faith and Freedom Coalition]] and providing resources to turn pulpits into political operations.

**[[Operation Watchtower]]** framed anti-transgender legislation as "parental rights," testing messaging that would dominate the 2024 campaign.

The strategy was comprehensive: suppress opposition votes, mobilize evangelical voters, and inflame culture war issues to drive turnout.

---


# 2024-04
## Chase the Vote

[[Turning Point Action]] announced an official partnership with [[Trump Campaign 2024|the Trump campaign]]—taking over ground game operations in swing states through an initiative called "Chase the Vote."

This was unprecedented. Presidential campaigns don't outsource their field operations. But Trump was breaking all the rules.

[[Charlie Kirk]] would deploy hundreds of paid canvassers with a $108 million budget, specifically targeting low-propensity voters who agreed with Trump but historically never voted.

---


# 2024-05
## The Billionaire Enters

[[Elon Musk]] founded [[America PAC]], immediately pumping in over $200 million of his own money.

Musk's PAC had a single mission: find Trump supporters who never vote and get them to the polls. While traditional campaigns focused on likely voters, Musk was building an entirely new electorate.

---


# 2024-07
## The Exposure

[[ProPublica]] obtained thousands of internal documents from [[Ziklag]], exposing the organization's entire 2024 strategy.

The documents revealed the coordination between Ziklag and dozens of conservative organizations, the systematic plan to challenge voters in swing states, and the explicit goal of establishing Christian nationalist control.

[[Accountable.US]] filed a formal IRS complaint, but the agency that had already stopped enforcing the Johnson Amendment showed no interest in investigating.

[[Turning Point Action]] held voter mobilization events at 22+ churches in six swing states. Legal experts said this clearly violated the Johnson Amendment. Nothing happened.

The wall between church and state wasn't just crumbling. It had collapsed entirely.

---


# 2024-08
## The Mercenaries

[[Trump Campaign 2024|The Trump campaign]] outsourced canvassing to [[America PAC]], which subcontracted to [[Blitz Canvassing]].

Workers reported being transported in U-Hauls, forced to sign NDAs before being told they were canvassing for Trump, and threatened with abandonment in unfamiliar cities if they didn't meet quotas.

[[Phil Cox]], a senior advisor to America PAC, resigned after discovering widespread fraud in the canvassing data. Multiple operatives reported that 25% of door-knocks in [[Arizona]] and [[Nevada]] appeared to be fake—logged from Wi-Fi networks miles away from the homes supposedly visited.

State officials in [[North Carolina AG|North Carolina]] and [[Michigan Secretary of State|Michigan]] opened investigations into [[America PAC]] for collecting voter information under the false pretense of helping people register to vote. CNBC discovered the PAC never actually registered anyone—they just harvested data.

---


# 2024-10
## The Lottery

[[Elon Musk]] announced the [[$1M Daily Sweepstakes]]—a "random" lottery giving away a million dollars every day to swing state voters who signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments.

Over a million people signed up, providing [[America PAC]] with their personal information and a signed pledge of political allegiance.

The [[DOJ Election Crimes Branch]] sent a warning letter: this appeared to violate federal laws against paying people to register to vote.

Then it got worse.

---


# 2024-11
## The Confession

[[Chris Gober (Musk Lawyer)|Chris Gober]], Musk's lawyer, admitted in court on November 4th—the day before the election—that the lottery was never random.

"We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow," Gober stated. Winners were pre-selected based on their "personal stories" and "values alignment," then required to sign contracts becoming paid spokespeople for the PAC.

[[Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner]] filed a lawsuit calling it "political marketing masquerading as a lottery"—a fraud on the public.

Legal experts called it "absolutely, unambiguously illegal."

But the election was the next day.

---


# 2024-11
## Election Night

At Mar-a-Lago on election night, [[Elon Musk]] showed Dana White a [[Custom Election Tracking App]] he had built. According to Joe Rogan's later account, the app showed Trump winning four hours before any media outlet called the race.

Most mysteriously, the app displayed data from rural areas "that hadn't filed results yet."

Musk told White: "I'm leaving. It's over. Donald won."

How did Musk's app have data before official counts? Some speculated it was predictive modeling. Others wondered if [[America PAC]]'s massive data collection operation—including potentially fraudulent canvassing data—had fed a forecasting model.

Or perhaps Musk simply had better data analysis than news organizations.

The truth remains unclear. What's certain is that Musk, with access to data from over a million swing state voters who had provided personal information to his PAC, called the election hours before anyone else.

---


# 2024
## The Aftermath

Trump won. [[America First Policy Institute]] immediately began the transition, serving as the official staffing pipeline for the new administration.

[[Brooke Rollins]] was nominated as Agriculture Secretary in November.

The network had succeeded. Billions in dark money, coordinated operations across dozens of organizations, churches mobilized as campaign offices, and a tech billionaire's infinite resources had delivered the presidency.

---


# 2025-07
## The Final Barrier Falls

In July 2025, the IRS formalized what Trump's 2017 executive order had begun: the agency settled with [[National Religious Broadcasters]] in a lawsuit that officially established churches could endorse candidates without tax consequences.

The Johnson Amendment—passed in 1954 to prevent churches from becoming political machines—was effectively dead.

Churches were now fully operational campaign offices, their endorsements legal, their political spending protected.

The [[Seven Mountain Mandate]] had conquered its first mountain.

---

Epilogue

The Machine Runs

This is not a story about a single election. It's the story of a decades-long project to rebuild American democracy according to a specific theological vision.

From [[Michael Farris]]'s legal foundations in 1993 to the IRS surrender in 2025, every piece was deliberately placed. [[Ken Eldred]] perfected evangelical data targeting. [[Lance Wallnau]] provided the theological justification. [[Ziklag]] coordinated the money. [[Cleta Mitchell]] built the legal apparatus. [[Elon Musk]] bought the platform and funded the operation.

The network isn't dismantling. It's expanding.

[[Ziklag]]'s own documents describe this as a "long-term" strategy to control "every major sphere of influence." They have decades of money, a Supreme Court they shaped, churches they've mobilized, and a data operation that can find and activate millions of voters who never participated before.

They built a machine. And it works.
