Nathan Revo Sorenson, January 15, 1959 (Yuba City, Calif.) -
VP candidate for Independent American Party (aka Independent) (2016, 2020)
Running mate with nominee (2016, 2020): Kyle Kenley Kopitke (b. 1957)
Popular vote (2016): 1,096 (0.00%)
Popular vote (2020): 762 (0.00%)
Electoral vote (2016, 2020): 0/538
The campaign (2016):
"Doctor Kyle Kenley Kopitke" of Flint, Mich. filed with the FEC for President running as an Independent on Sept. 17, 2015. The "Doctor" prefix is academic, Kopitke lists his public administration degree as being from the Capella online university, attained in 2015.
Kopitke, described in 2007 by the Attorney General of Nebraska as a "professional con artist," had a history involving setting up military museums in several states that authorities deemed to be a scam. One episode in this narrative resulted in Kopitke serving jail time in 2006 for criminal trespass. Kopitke was barred from ever forming a nonprofit corporation in Nebraska again.
He also unsuccessfully ran for various public offices prior to 2016 in Illinois, Utah, Florida, Hawaii, and Nebraska both as a Republican and Democrat.
In Sept. 2015 Kopitke started a campaign blog with the announcement--
President Kopitke 2016
Welcome to my daily Presidential Campaign Blog
Today, the 17th of September is Constitution Day; it is also the anniversary of my Baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Today, it is also the day I have filed with the Federal Elections Commission my Form 2 paperwork as a Candidate for the Office of President of The United States of America. Please kindly remember me in your prayers.
In 1992, I defeated Hillary Clinton as I was outspent by the Clinton Campaign probably 20 to 1. At that time, I was the State Director for the Jerry Brown for President Campaign during the Utah Democratic Primary.
So, I am seeking to replicate my 1992 victory in Utah and expand it to the other States.
I am running as an Independent, so this means, that in November 2016, there will be Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton and Kyle Kenley Kopitke on the Presidential Ballot.
The reason I am running is because I see our Beloved and Inspired Constitution under attack; I am running to save the Constitution of the United States of America to the best of my abilities. I am also running to the preserve Christianity to the best of my ability.
I would not be running unless I saw in my mind’s eye that there is a possibility that I can win. Now, the world is full of nay sayers, and those who brisk and chide when someone tries to do something. They laughed at our Founding Fathers, at the Wright Brothers and at Columbus. I am certainly not George Washington, or Wilbur or Orville or Christopher Columbus; I am just Kyle. But Kyle is not going to sit by and watch the Constitution and Christianity get pummeled.
We have to Save our Earth; we have to Restore our Military; we have to Fix our State Department and Foreign Policy. I hold the Triple Crown of Presidential Experience; a Veteran of The United States Army (Semper Ra); former President of an Environmental Group, and Classical Foreign Policy experience in The United States Peace Corps.
My campaign book “President Kopitke: Towards an American Renaissance” is online.
Another book online is “On the Trail with the History Detective: Did Joseph Smith, Jr. have more than one wife; A Scholarly Review.” Based on my research, I found no credible evidence that Brother Joseph had more than one wife. In the book I recommend changing the LDS Historical Department Edict of November 2014 that claims Brother Joseph had around 40 wives; he did not.
I'll update this page with links and more info tomorrow.
Praise Ye The Lord,
Kyle
Kopitke's blog revealed a strong anti-vax stance, as well as promoting conspiracy theories regarding HAARP, One World Government, New World Order, natural cures for cancer, the alleged assassination of Justice Scalia, the 9/11 attack, the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, etc., with links to a variety of Right wing online sources.
Some samples--
"Why are so many American Natural Health Doctors who question the link between Cancer and Vaccines dying?"
"For the New World Order to achieve their dastardly plans of Global Domination, they need to destroy the Constitution and Freedom in The United States of America. They are working on this through several tactics. One of these is destroying American Manhood. It is important and vital for you to understand that these Gender Bending Feminizing Chemicals that are destroying American Manhood are intentional. If you think I am a quack; then research it on the internet for a couple of hours, and also view some Youtube videos; learn for yourself"
"Am I the only Presidential Candidate that is not a puppet of the 1%, and the Globalists of the One World Government of the New World Order? If I am, then you need to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you are not standing with me to defend our Beloved and Inspired Constitution when she is under such a venomous attack by the New World Order. Sharing posts, donations, gathering Signatures and volunteering to be a State Director or Co-State Director is what is needed of you. Are you a sniveling little coward that masquerades as a Patriot?"
"Are the chemicals in underwear causing women to miscarry and develop Breast Cancer? Why do the Democrats and Republicans just sit there and allow this; answer: Mega Political Donations. Tell me just how you cannot realize that the Democrats and Republicans are addicted to greed and are just bought off?"
"Do you know what a FEMA Camp Name Gatherer is? Or what “Trolling for Patriots” is? Probably, one of the fastest growing job segments of our National Economy, besides low paying part-ti9me jobs, are either Corporate, political or Federal Government paid persons who “fake” their identity online to promote the agenda of those who pay them. This is a form of COINTELPRO. I suppose that these are merely “Name Gatherers” that place your name of a FEMA “style” Camp List for future use. While a few survived the World War II Camps, the Globalists of the New World Order, I suppose will not anyone leave alive."
"Did Nathan Rotheschild and the Federal Reserve create the world-wide Great Depression in the 1930s, or did it just happen? It is said that President Kennedy was seeking to print up real US Treasury notes backed by silver. One of the challenges is that it is reported that we have about $1.3 Trillion in coin and currency; the rest is just numbers on paper; where is the $19 Trillion National Debt? As President Kopitke, I will seek to reform the Fed. I have not seen a real plan to replace it that seems appropriate. I will seek some mid course corrections."
"The Globalist One World Government tactic to make America drug addicted. To achieve destroying our Inspired Constitution, the Globalists first have to destroy Christianity and the American Family. They are doing this through the injection into American Society of drugs. We can stop drugs coming into our nation but the Globalists need this to happen to create a weak America so they can have their satanic One World Government of a New World Order."
"Another Political Assassination? The “timing” of the Wikileaks director’s death is questioned. With 15 days left before the November Election, a key “Truther” who has a high level of accuracy has died. Was he murdered to prevent further leaks, and/or “to send a message?” The death of Gavin Macfadyen on October 23rd, 2016, on follows the questionable deaths of John Jones, a key Wikileaks Attorney on April 16th, 2016, and another Wikileaks Attorney, Michael Ratner on May 11th, 2016."
"Why does the Federal Government bring in immigrants with infectious diseases? Because it fits their New World Order Agenda. This is realy being done by Collaborators of the Globalist One World Government of the New World Order than have infiltrated our Federal Government. And you cannot see this yet?"
"Vulgarity and swearing are the number one tool for the Globalists in destroying our Beloved and Inspired Constitution. Please don’t swear. Once people start swearing, the rest of their personal ethics go out the window. If you love America; don’t swear. Behind almost every divorce and broken home and broken family, and behind every drug addict; there is the path of swearing found. Swearing and cursing are the foundation for all government, personal and corporate corruption. You want to save America; don’t swear. The most hideous form of cursing and swearing is in taking the Holy Name of God in vain. Please don’t curse America and your loved ones by cursing in the Name of God."
The running-mate was originally Randall Jay Bizzle of North Carolina, who had previously been running for President himself as a Republican before terminating his campaign in Feb. 2016. At that point he left the Republican Party and became Kopitke's VP. But something happened, and on Apr. 30, 2016, Kopitke revealed his new Vice-Presidential choice--
I am pleased to announce Nathan Revo Sorenson has accepted a Call of Service to be my Vice Presidential running mate. Nathan is the former Chairman of the American Independent Party.
We are now beginning to collect Signatures in Colorado, Idaho, Mississippi, Arkansas and New Jersey. If you live in one of these States please help us. If you live in another State, then please pray over making a donation of $10 or a tad more, so that we can hire someone to collect Signatures on your behalf. https://politics.raisethemoney.com/kkopitke
Sorenson expressed a hope that in spite of Kopitke's unfortunate initials (KKK) the standard bearer could pull enough votes from the Left due to some of his platform issues to hurt Clinton's chances. However, at first glance it seems that the Kopitke/Sorenson ticket would be more likely to eat into Trump's conspiracy-based and anti-science support.
Kopitke/Sorenson were on the ballot in Colorado and registered as write-ins in Tennessee. In Colorado the team finished 10th out of 22 with 0.04% of the vote.
On Nov. 10, 2016 Kopitke reported--
We are now in 24th place for total nationwide Votes for President of The United States of America; as of today we are at 1,048 Votes. One chart showed me in 23rd place, and another shows me in 24th place. Both charts claim to be “totals” for the election. I am so overflowing with joy that we went over 1,000 Votes. Thank you forever. You know the march continues. We must stand up against the Globalists. Have the Globalists taken over the Democratic and Republican Parties, and the Mainstream News Media? GO back and read past editions of my Blog or visit my Youtube channel and you will learn.
The campaign (2020):
Kopitke filed with the FEC as an Independent for his second run on July 16, 2019 although on his blog he officially launched on June 4. On June 18, 2019 he announced Sorenson was once again his running-mate.
In an interview in Oct. 2020, Kopitke's responses to a Vail, Colo. reporter included--
About 45 minutes after my son’s MMR vaccine, his precious mind was blasted into autism. 1 in 28 children now have autism; it is the vaccines. My qualification is I understand our vaccines are not safe. 1 in 2 young adults have a developmental disability; it is the vaccines. If you think injecting vaccines into your child that contain the DNA from pigs, mice, insects, dogs, and from aborted male and female fetuses; think again. Other qualifications: United States Army; United States Peace Corps; Doctorate in Public Administration; donated kidney to my brother; Missionary 2 years in England for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Former head of an environmental group.
Sadly, I am only on Colorado and Vermont. I have faced a near total media blackout; I am the only Presidential candidate whose campaign website (Kyle2020.com) is banned and blacked out on “Facebook”; if you try and share Kyle2020.com on Facebook, you will be blocked. Partly because I say the 11 words you cannot say: “One World Government”; “New World Order”; “Vaccines cause autism and SIDS.” I also discuss the dangers of Common Core, and Chemtrails, and forced mandated dangerous vaccines, and also the need to close nuclear power plants.
This is the only earth we have; we must take care of her. As the former head of an environmental group, I am the father of the term “Climate Pollution” which is an alternative view against “Climate Change.” “Climate Change” is a tool of the One World Government & New World Order. The Globalists have hijacked the true environmental movement. My theory of “Climate Pollution” addresses the pollutions of nuclear power, fracking, the need to recycle, banning Roundup and other harmful chemicals in our everyday clothing and uses. Banning GMOs. The policy of “Climate Change” was created by Maurice Strong who is also the father of Agenda 21 (New World Order).
America needs to Repent. We need to Repent as a nation and turn back to Jesus; only He can heal us. We need to stop swearing. We need to keep the Sabbath Day Holy by going to Church, and by not shopping. We need to read from the King James version of the Holy Bible each and every day. We need individual and family vocal kneeling prayers. I also treasure, and am inspired, by prayerfully reading over the Book of Mormon.
In other sources Kopitke expressed approval of conspiracy theories regarding 5G towers, the 9/11 attack, and "fake news." His blog included--
"As your President I will remove Fluoride from our drinking water and food; Fluoride is not safe. We need to remove Fluoride from our drinking water and food; it is not safe. I am the only Presidential candidate calling for the removal of Fluoride from our water and food."
"The March of the Globalists towards a One World Government of a New World Order: This is how they enslave us and keep their perpetual power and income. Remember, the Globalists that support a One World Government of a New World Order are counting on you not to donate, and also to be only an “arm chair Patriot” where you just sit there and do nothing. Try volunteering and collecting Signatures for Ballot Access. Tis up to you; act as becometh an American Man or lose your America. Please also remember that swearing and vulgarity, especially Taking The Name of God in vain are tactical tools of the Globalists and their aim of their New World Order; don’t swear."
"Mainstream News Media supports microchipping of Americans; I will fight against it as your President."
"The Environment: To me, it appears, looking at it at the surface level, that the Globalists who support World Domination by a One World Government of a New World Order, where our God Inspired Constitution is destroyed, have hijacked the true Environmental Movement as a tactical plan for their World Domination. As a former President of an Environmental Group (see PresidentKopitke2016.info), I am so sorry to see so many actual Environmentalists being duped and manipulated by the New World Order. Instead of focusing on the core environmental issues of our day like moving away from oil under the ground to Hemp oil above the ground, or bringing forth real clean energy, or removing gender bending and cancer causing chemicals from our everyday products and vaccines, the New World Order Manipulators have the sincere Environmentalists running in the wrong direction. Classic “disinformation Campaign”; brilliant tactics by the Globalists and the 1%; we have to turn this around if we are going to save our Beloved Earth, which Almighty God has through His Infinite Goodness, given to us as Stewards. One in six women should not be getting breast cancer; same with prostate cancer; we can remove these cancer causing toxins from our everyday products. (Note from Kyle: In addition, I will do all I can to remove dangerous LED and CFL lightbulbs.) We must stop 5G."
"Chemtrails are real; what are they spraying us with; as your President I will stop Chemtrails by Kyle Kenley Kopitke, 19 October, 2019."
He also offered a long and detailed 100-step "Kopitke Containment & Eradication Solution Plan" for battling the COVID-19 pandemic, calling for measures requiring considerable government control.
On May 2, 2020, Kopitke issued the following statement:
The Lead Story: I need a new Vice Presidential running mate. Someone who will not drop out and who will have some time to devote to saving the Constitution. Email me at KyleKopitke@gmail.com if interested. Please pray sincerely with Faith in Jesus that I can find a sincere Patriot. I have absolute tragic news for you. My Vice Presidential running mate has withdrawn. So I am looking for a new Vice Presidential running mate. All signatures collected in OH, NJ, ID, OR, FL, AR, CO are invalid. UT is still good though. Again, Prayers I can find a Patriot.
The circumstances surrounding Sorenson's decision to drop out were never spelled out. By June 2020 Kopitke's new running-mate was Taja Yvonne Iwanow.
Apparently it was too late to remove Sorenson's name as the Vice-Presidential candidate in Colorado, where the ticket finished 11th out of 21 with 0.01% of the vote. Kopitke also was on the ballot in Vermont, but with Iwanow.
Kopitke filed with the FEC for the 2024 Presidential election on Nov. 25, 2020.
