Christians Are Being Systematically
Purged From The U.S. Military:
"If you are a Bible-believing Christian, there is no place for you in Barack
Obama’s version of the U.S. military. Christian service members all over the
nation are being disciplined for reading their Bibles, talking about their faith
publicly and encouraging others to live a moral lifestyle. And just saying
the name of 'Jesus' at the wrong place or the wrong time while serving in the
military is enough to spark a national controversy."

Pentagon resumes recruiting illegal immigrants as part of Obama amnesty:
"The illegal alien recruiting program was temporarily stopped after President Obama's executive order on immigration met unforeseen outrage....
"Opponents of Obama's granting
de facto amnesty to millions of illegals see the program as an open invitation for millions of Mexicans and Central
American to illegally cross the U.S. border....
"This program appears to be a process that intentionally or unintentionally
replacing U.S. citizens who are being laid off by all of the branches of
the armed forces with non-citizens who are basically lawbreakers in order to achieve a
suspicious goal by this White House," said former military
intelligence officer and police lieutenant Michael Snopes."

"Khamenei accuses

“Up until the day when this homicidal and infanticidal [sic] regime is eliminated through a referendum, powerful confrontation and resolute and armed resistance is the cure of this ruinous regime..."

Sexual Assaults In The Military Are At An All-Time High And Most Of Them Are Male On Male:
"There is a raging epidemic of sexual assault in the U.S. military. A report released by the U.S. Department of Defense says that an astounding 12,000 women serving in the U.S. military were sexually assaulted in 2012. This is a national disgrace.... Sexual assault against males is at an epidemic level in the U.S. military as well. In fact, according to the same report that I just mentioned, there were 14,000 sexual assaults against men serving in the U.S. military during 2012."
It’s Not Just The Police – The Feds Are Also Militarizing Public Schools With Grenade Launchers, M16s & Tanks:
"...many of of the nation’s police departments have been quietly, but consistently, militarizing over the past couple of decades. It’s one thing to intellectually understand that this has happened, it’s quite another to see
cops deploy tanks and point sniper rifles at peacefully protesting U.S. citizens....
"The program was originated in the late 1990′s under the National Defense Authorization Act of 1997 (recall that the NDAA is also being used to allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens without trial).... The Wall Street Journal reports that: 'A federal program that has drawn criticism in recent weeks for supplying surplus military gear to local police has also provided high-powered rifles, armored vehicles and other equipment to police at public schools, some of whom were unprepared for what they were getting.'...
"The
Los Angeles Unified School District stocked up on grenade launchers, M16 rifles and even a multi-ton armored vehicle from the program.... In July, the district received a massive
MRAP armored vehicle. Mr. Zipperman said his department thought it could be
useful for evacuations and to save lives in a “sustained incident.”

"Our son Daniel enlisted in the Army National Guard in 2003. We were proud, though a bit frightened for him, but he was reassuring and confident.... He went to war as a member of a Tactical Human Intelligence Team. He celebrated his 21st birthday at Fort Hood in Texas, then deployed to Iraq for 13 months.
He came home a chain smoker, a habit he had developed to 'fit in' with the Iraqis with whom he interacted. He was jittery and cautious.
"...he told us that L-3 needed someone to go to Iraq to provide analysis, and that he had volunteered. He seemed so happy to have been given this chance to go back and help. He deployed in early 2007. We found out later that he also participated in many Special Operations missions.
"Daniel returned home in the fall of 2007. In conversations over the next few months, he told us that he had made several attempts to get medical treatment for an array of health problems. Because his National Guard unit was still in ready reserve status, the Veterans Affairs Department medical center in Phoenix refused him treatment..."

From Freedom to Servitude - Part
2: "Service Learning" through Soviet Brainwashing:
'Service learning' -- the heart of the Serve America Act (H.R. 1388) -- is grounded
in Soviet ideology. Banning Biblical sharing, it reflects the old Soviet 'dialectical
materialism.' Its basic formula is simple: 1. Immersion into a group [collective]
environment with diverse beliefs and values.... 2. Dialogue led by facilitators
trained to manipulate the diverse groups of servers toward a continually evolving
new consensus.... 3. Practice (practical experience) that seals the dialectical
group teaching in the minds of idealistic servers.
"Lenin understood this formula well. He said, '...the young people shall engage
in the practical solution of some problem
[a convenient crisis]
of labour in common.'....
"Today the seeds of Soviet ideology are sprouting across America. Truth, facts,
discernment and moral convictions fade -- drowned by a flood of mind-dulling,
time-stealing trivia and distraction and choked by the tempting tentacles of
dialectical compromise."

will have new opportunities to serve their country. From improving service
learning in schools to creating an army of 250,000 Corps members a year
dedicated to addressing our nation's toughest problems. From connecting working
Americans to a variety of part-time service opportunities to better utilizing
the skills and experience of our retirees and baby boomers. This legislation
will help tap the genius of our faith based and community organizations....
But while our government can provide every opportunity imaginable for us to
serve our communities, now it is up to each of us to seize those opportunities.

requirement for all able young people' should be developed. The legislation
also refers to 'uniforms' that would be worn by the 'volunteers' and
the 'need' for a 'public service academy, a 4-year institution' to 'focus on
training' future 'public sector leaders.'...
"The
vote yesterday came on H.R. 1388, which reauthorizes through 2014 the
National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service
Act of 1973.... Many, however, are raising concerns that the program... is the
beginning of what President Obama called his 'National
Civilian Security Force' in a a speech last year in which he urged creating
an organization as big and well-funded as the U.S. military.....
"Groups
of such 'volunteers,' would, under the legislation, be 'grouped together as
appropriate in campuses for operational, support, and boarding
purposes....
Another portion of the bill talks
about a 'service learning' plan that will be 'a mandatory part of the
curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.'"

This is the Army, Mrs. Jones!
"The same 'volunteerism' that kept America running since the days of its founding,
wiped out with the stroke of a pen, will no longer be volunteerism. It becomes
forced labor and like the practice of another era, presses American citizens
of all ages and creeds, unknowingly into military service.... The Give Act puts
the finishing touches to Public Allies
New Leadership for New Times, modeled after
Saul Alinsky’s 'Peoples Organizations'....
"H.R. 1388
goes straight to the heart of volunteerism in America, impacting everything
from the lemonade stands of neighbourhood children, to the residents of senior
citizens homes.... Above the gates of Auschiwitz were the words: 'Arbeit
Macht Frei,' ('work will set you free')."

Defense Department Establishes Civilian
Expeditionary Workforce:
"The Defense Department is forming a civilian expeditionary workforce that will
be trained and equipped to deploy overseas in support of military missions worldwide,
according to department officials. The intent of the program 'is to maximize
the use of the civilian workforce to allow military personnel to be fully utilized
for operational requirements,' according to a Defense Department statement.
...
"The
directive emphasizes, however, that volunteers be sought first for any
expeditionary requirements, before requiring anyone to serve involuntarily
or on short notice. Overseas duty tours shall not exceed two years. Employees
in deployable-designated positions will be trained, equipped and prepared to
serve overseas in support of humanitarian, reconstruction and, if absolutely
necessary, combat-support missions.... All participants will undergo pre- and
post-deployment medical testing, including physical and psychological exams."
Democrats Introduce Public National
Service Bills: "...the
legislation will 'create the architecture and the structure that will serve
as the invitation for everyone to serve.'...
"A fourth
bill, The ACTION Act, is aimed at increasing awards for AmeriCorps volunteers
and reestablishing the Corporation’s connection with federal agencies. The bill
would also grant the Corporation for National Service Cabinet-level status
under the Obama administration....
"...Emanuel
outlined the agenda for compulsory military-style training, essentially a domestic
draft, aimed at preparing Americans for a chemical or biological terrorist attack.
When controversy arose over the program last November, the use of the word 'required'
to describe the program was removed from Obama’s change.gov website and replaced
with 'community service' type terminology."

Emanuel volunteers Americans to
do 'a lot': "A video
of a 2006 interview with now-Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for president-elect
Barack Obama reveals plans for mandatory induction for all young adults into
a civilian 'force.' ... However, after a flurry of blogs protested children
being drafted into Obama's proposed youth corps, officials softened the website's
wording. Originally, under the tab 'America Serves,' Change.gov read, "President-Elect
Obama will expand national service programs
like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps....
"
In
the interview, Emanuel was questioned whether participants in the proposed force
would live in barracks. 'Somewhere between the age of 18 to 25 you will do three
months of training. You can do it at some point in your college time,' he said.
'There can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint, similar experience
of what we call civil defense training or civil service.'"
Yes, their is a problem with
collective training in Obama's socialist values.

Will Department of Defense turn
to meditation to bring World Peace?
"Dr. David Leffler, an eight-year US Air Force veteran, now the Executive Director
at the Center for Advanced Military Science (CAMS).... suggests that in the
DoD's 'struggle to eliminate violent extremism,' eastern-style meditation techniques
should be used:
'"Extensive
scientific research indicates that the best way to reduce collective societal
stress, eliminate extremism and thereby snuff out war and terrorism, is
to adopt an ancient strategy. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has revived the ancient
Vedic technology of Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) in a non-religious manner.
It has been quietly and successfully used by members of many faiths to eliminate
conflict in the past.' According to research, special units would be trained
using Transcendental Meditation (TM) and TM-Sidhi programs."

Obama calls for US military mobilization:
"In remarks that clearly pointed toward the restoration of the military draft
under an Obama administration, the Democratic candidate said Thursday night
that his job as president would include demanding that the American people recognize
an 'obligation' for military service. 'If we are going into war, then all of
us go, not just some,' ...Obama declared...
"While 'national
service' encompasses more than the military, including such government-run programs
as the Peace Corps, Americorps and Teach for America, as well as private and
religious programs, both McCain and Obama focused on expanding the US
Armed Forces as a major goal of the next administ
What Does the Future Hold for Mandatory
Public Service? "Barack
Obama has centered speeches around this idea of public service. He waxes
sentimental about what we can each do for our country. All in one speech, he
said that we must 'answer a new call to service to meet the challenges
of our new century' and that he 'won’t just ask for your vote as a candidate'
but 'will ask for your service.' ... this is the cause of his presidency....
The idea that America’s youths should train like soldiers to serve government
on the domestic front is contrary to the freedom and independent spirit this
country was founded on. Furthermore, such programs are reminiscent of Soviet
youth programs and Soviet job programs, and would similarly incorporate propaganda
beneficial to the government in power."

A military draft?
(By Thomas Sowell) "People with little knowledge about the military, and no
personal experience, often have the most sweeping and unrealistic expectations,
and even demands, to make on people whose lives are at risk in battle.... The
fact that we could use a larger army of the kinds of people who have already
volunteered to put their lives on the line does not mean that we can get it
by adding warm bodies fresh from our politically correct schools and colleges,
where standards and self-discipline are greatly lacking. Just getting
such people used to the idea of duty and discipline could be a major drain on
the military, not to mention a plague of lawsuits from groups like the
American
Civil Liberties Union if the little darlings were not handled with kid gloves."

Deposition on Cold War weapons testing
contradicts Pentagon: "In the 1965 Copperhead
test, a plane flew over the destroyer USS Power and sprayed it with a mist that

said that repeated exposure to cadmium alone could be toxic to kidneys and bones
and also could cause lung cancer. The ship was decontaminated with betapropiolactone,
a carcinogen....
"The lawsuit alleges that government officials, including then-Defense Secretary
Robert McNamara, who served under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson,
covered up the tests and denied medical information to veterans...'The cover-up
was even worse than the testing part,' said Jim Druckemiller of Topeka, KA.
"They knew about what happened, and they withheld
medical care from the guys.'... Nearly 6,000 troops were involved."

fears: "A routine notice advertising
the need for people to serve on US draft boards has prompted suggestions the

to return to the draft, which was abolished in 1973. 'There are no secret
discussions,' said Pat Schuback, a spokesman for the Selective Service System,
the government agency that would be in charge of conscription if the US had
it." Yet a bill for such a draft

Mystery Illness Causing Major U.S.
Casualties in Iraq: "The overwhelming majority of soldiers sent home
for recovery from the current Persian Gulf War were not injured in combat but
probably by a doctor’s needle. Were some “shot to death” by vaccinations?...
A series of anthrax and smallpox vaccinations are blamed by some for leaving
soldiers so gravely ill they have difficulty breathing and sleeping and experience
loss of memory. Others have been diagnosed with lupus and heart ailments. At
least six died shortly after receiving their shots. But the Pentagon has rejected
such claims in such a routine and intimidating manner that many GIs say they
no longer report the illness. They’re told to 'suck it up' and move on."

America's Ultra-Secret Weapon:
"If there's a second Gulf War, get ready to meet the high-power microwave. HPMs
are man-made lightning bolts crammed into cruise missiles. They could be key
weapons for targeting Saddam Hussein's stockpiles of biological and chemical
weapons. ...
"The powerful electromagnetic
pulses can travel into deeply buried bunkers through ventilation shafts, plumbing
and antennas. But unlike conventional explosives, they won't spew deadly agents
into the air, where they could poison Iraqi civilians or advancing U.S. troops."
In contrast, Iraq's chemical
and biological reserves alone could bring unthinkable, torturous harm and death
to large civilian population centers. But let's pray that we can avoid war --
not the least for the sake of Christian missionaries who serve the poor in Arab
countries. For war is certain to fuel explosive rage and revenge among militant
Muslims.
