Anglo-Israelism

Using the Gimira Tablets from ancient Nineveh, Capt supported his Anglo-Israelism.^[6]

Political views

In a February 8, 1992 letter to the editor of the Camarillo Star, Capt wrote that, "All our laws, until recently, were based on Biblical law. Today, our legislators are legislating immorality and many Christians are unwilttingly endorsing them with their silence. It is time to speak up."^[11]
