	Political Research Associates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political Research Associates (PRA) is a non-profit research group located in Somerville, Massachusetts, which studies the U.S. political right wing, as well as white supremacists, anti-Semitic groups, and paramilitary organizations.
		PRA is supported by a number of progressive and liberal activists, including Anne Braden of the Southern Organizing Committee, and Suzanne Pharr of the Highlander Research Center.
		According to Kurz, PRA used guilt by association techniques to associate conservative Christians with theocratic Dominionism: "By quoting a pathetic Dominionist extremist’s desperate efforts to prove his own influence, clever liberals can now argue that the ultimate goal of all conservative Christians is the re-institution of slavery, and execution for blasphemers and witches.

		Christian dominionism is in the news, and PRA has been covering the topic for over twenty years.
		PRA senior analyst Chip Berlet has been featured discussing dominionism in several recent news articles.
		Particularly since the early 1970s, the political Right has successfully reframed a whole series of issues in a way that has moved federal and state governments toward an increasing level of repression; and society toward accepting more social oppression.

		SOMERVILLE, MA - September 19 - All of us at Political Research Associates are personally moved by the devastating loss of life as a result of the events of September 11.

	Conspiracism
		The antidote to conspiracism is Power Structure Research based on some form of institutional, systemic or structural analysis that examines race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, class and other factors that are used to create inequality and oppression.
		Political Research Associates does not criticize conspiracism because we want to shield those with unfair power and privilege; but because we believe that conspiracism impedes attempts to build a social movement for real social justice, economic fairness, equality, peace, and democracy.
		Rather than berating conspiracy theorists for their false consciousness, they would surely be better applauding their perception that the world isn’t as it is presented by the mass media, and trying to encourage them towards the more rational areas of conspiratorial thinking and seeing how conspiracies fit into the wider structure of American society.

		A second Rees newsletter, published through his Mid-Atlantic Research Associates (MARA) with Arnaud de Borchgrave and Robert Moss, and titled Early Warning, was cited in an essay by retired Lt.
