Report Reveals ‘God’s Army’ Truck Convoy to the Border Disappoints Amid Right-Wing ‘Honeypot’ Paranoia
On a mission dubbed “Take Our Border Back,” the much-anticipated “God’s Army” trucker convoy en route to the southern border in Virginia Beach faces a significant blow, shrouded in conspiracy theories suggesting it’s an FBI front, as reported by Vice News. (rawstory.com) Contrary to the grand promises of 700,000 participants, the convoy departing Virginia Beach Monday revealed a mere few dozen trucks in its lineup. Vice’s investigation points to right-wing circles circulating theories that the convoy might be a federal government “psyop” or “honeypot” trap, fueling fears of potential violence. In the face of these concerns, one individual, scarred by the aftermath of the January 6th events, voices the unsettling reality: “I have 3 former associates doing lengthy prison sentences because of the [Jan. 6] setup. I know first hand, even if they don’t have charges they can pin on you, they will make some up.”
Former military commander and convoy organizer Pete Chambers, in a video message to supporters, acknowledges the conspiracy theory, cautioning FBI agents against entrapment. Chambers implores them to reconsider, stating, “There’s too much momentum on the other side bro, so just let it go. Stop working for that entity.

The convoy’s organizers, including QAnon influencers and anti-vaxxers, have labeled the demonstration as an “army of god.” As the convoy navigates through public relations challenges, efforts are made to distance themselves from potential unrest or negative optics. Christina Holbrook, known as ‘Thought Criminals’ and an admin for the convoy’s Texas Telegram channel, explicitly states, “No, we are not militia friendly,” while also urging participants to leave their long guns at home.

The unfolding drama of the “God’s Army” trucker convoy underscores not only the power of conspiracy theories within right-wing circles but also the real-world implications for those participating. As the convoy presses on, politically mature Americans grapple with the emotional weight of the situation, torn between supporting a cause and navigating the complex web of potential government involvement and internal dissent. The suspenseful journey of the convoy becomes a microcosm of broader political tensions, urging a critical examination of the motivations behind such movements and the impact of conspiracy theories on political mobilization.
