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."

July 2015

Calls for Mandatory “National Service” for Americans Aged 18-28 Has Begun: "...this grotesque concept of forced 'national service' is being actively discussed at the highest levels of government. What Ron Fournier is doing in his National Journal article is conditioning the public to accept something that is completely unacceptable."  See Obama's "Universal" Service Plan - Training an army of world servers

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."

Iran Publishes Plan to ‘Eliminate’ Israel: "Khamenei’s official Twitter account on Sunday tweeted out the 9-step plan explaining 'the proper way of eliminating Israel.'...'The only means of bringing Israeli crimes to an end is the elimination of this regime,' Khamenei wrote....

    "Khamenei accuses 'the fake Zionist regime' of committing acts of 'infanticide, homicide, violence, and iron fist while boasts about it blatantly [sic].' Israel’s enemies must commit to 'armed resistance' until Israel is eliminated, Khamenei says. “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.”

(Slow to open) Sending Military to Fight Ebola "Misuse of Soldiers:" “The U.S. military does not have specific training regarding how to handle a medical emergency like Ebola. ... 'It’s rather obvious there is a great risk the U.S. military going into Liberia to fight Ebola will end up getting infected themselves. If military are required to combat the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, then the first troops that should be involved are the 6,000 United Nations peacekeeping forces that are already in the country.”

The Military bars troops from attending Vacation Bible school honor: “'We were going to thank them for protecting our religious liberty,' said Pastor Hogan. 'It was more of a promotion for the military: to show the kids what the military does.' But the National Guard did not visit Bible Baptist Church on Thursday night....

      “We were told it was against military policy for National Guard troops to participate in Vacation Bible School,' Pastor Hogan said. 'They said if the National Guard had assets on church property it would look like the National Guard is sponsoring the Baptist religion.”See God's Faithful Church versus today's "Cultural Christianity"

Military Industrial Complex: Military Spending Destroying The US Economy: "...we wouldn’t be in a budget crisis in the first place if we hadn’t spent so much money on unnecessary wars … which are killing our economy. But it goes far beyond actual fighting. We could easily slash the military and security budget without reducing our national security."

Veterans Are Being Threatened and Silenced by the US and UK Militaries: "The American and British militaries clamped down on social media in the mid-2000s—on the grounds of security, they claim. The Canadian military currently is trying to stop wounded veterans from criticizing the military in public....

    "I was gagged by a military court in 2009 even though I had spilled no secrets. All I did was claim the Afghanistan occupation was an illegitimate, shambolic disaster."

Obama purposely weakening U.S. military: "A former deputy commanding general of the U.S. Pacific Command says President Obama seeks to 'seize control over national security' and, bypassing Congress, singlehandedly weaken the U.S. military. ... Further, Obama’s social agenda now includes changes in the law to allow open homosexuality in the ranks of the American armed forces. ...

     "The undermining of the U.S. military hasn’t been lost on other countries like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, all of whom have become more militarily aggressive during the Obama administration."

US Government Disturbing Admission: We're not Militarily Ready for Battle: "Senior House lawmakers sounded the alarm over what they say is the U.S. military’s lack of preparedness for battle following a classified briefing Thursday on how deepening budget cuts are impacting troop readiness."

On Losing a Veteran Son to a Broken System: "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..."

Obama Preparing Military Next Step: "...yes 9th, General fired from the military this week....'What is going on?' It seems President Obama is preparing what he calls 'my military' for his version of the final solution. With all the documentation we have, it looks as though he is purging the military for the next step...
     "We have been warned by a Pentagon Official to expect radical changes. ... We even have a CIA whistle blower warning us that President Obama wants to radically take over power. People are crying out, where is our military in this mess?
     "Well, there seems to be some very credible evidence that since last year and through this year that there has been a 'litmus test' given to American Military Officers. The Main point of that test, 'Would you fire on an American Citizen?' If you say no, then... 'Your fired!' Since the beginning of the year these retired officer’s have came forward with 'President Obama is preparing for war against the U.S.'...
     "This strange chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th, Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year...

Soon, Drones May Be Able to Make Lethal Decisions on Their Own: "If a drone's system is sophisticated enough, it could be less emotional, more selective and able to provide force in a way that achieves a tactical objective with the least harm,' said Purdue University Professor Samuel Liles. 'A lethal autonomous robot can aim better, target better, select better, and in general be a better asset...'

     "...in 2011, it was reported that a virus had infected some drone control systems at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, leading to security concerns about the security of unmanned aircraft."

‘Is Everybody Blind?’ City Council Meeting Erupts in Applause After Retired Marine Issues Dire Warning About U.S. ‘Building a Domestic Army’: "A former member of the United States Marine Corps on Monday night voiced his serious concerns about the U.S. 'building a domestic Army' during a local city council meeting in Concord, N.H. In his impassioned testimony, the ex-Marine said he believes that the recent push for local police forces to bulk up on military-grade equipment is disturbing and represents a very real threat to Americans."

Think women exempt from draft? Think again: "The idea is that treating women as equal to men means allowing them to join combat units, which the Obama administration has been advocating. Such ranks include the Army and Marine infantry, armor, artillery, Special Operations Forces and Navy SEALs.... 'Unless Congress intervenes, a future court will impose Selective Service obligations on unsuspecting civilian women, on the same basis as men.'” See Training an army of world servers

July 2013

Military analyst: Women in front-line combat opens door for draft : "...the plan to allow women in front-line combat units could subject them to a future draft, and Congress should start paying attention. Women are currently exempt from the draft because they are not involved in direct ground combat.... 'It is most unfortunate that Congress is allowing the Obama administration to lay the legal groundwork for selective service obligations to be imposed on unsuspecting civilian women on the same basis as men,' says Donnelly. 'This would include a future draft.'"

Anti-Christian war raging at Pentagon: "The Pentagon released an appalling official statement that I didn’t believe at first, but unfortunately it’s true,' said Kelly Shackelford.... 'They are about to implement a new policy under which any members of the military ‘caught’ talking about their Christian faith will be subject to court martial or imprisonment!'  Shackelford said his group is establishing the emergency hotline 'to protect our armed forces members, who can call and get free legal representation when they are persecuted for their Christian faith.'” See Training an army of world servers

How Cops Became Soldiers: An Interview with Police Militarization Expert Radley Balko: "The Founders were quite wary of standing armies and the threat they pose to liberty. They ultimately concluded -- reluctantly -- that the country needed an army for national defense. But they most feared the idea of troops patrolling city streets.... The Founders could never have envisioned police as they exist today. And I think it's safe to say they'd have been absolutely appalled at the idea of a team of police, dressed and armed like soldiers, breaking into private homes in the middle of the night...."

DHS helping fund militarization of local police departments: "If you paid any attention to the news surrounding the jihadist attacks at the Boston Marathon - and in particular the house-to-house searches that took place in the hours following the attacks - you witnessed a growing trend in law enforcement that should be very concerning to you: the militarization of local police forces.  ...the proliferation of so many SWAT units - dressed in body armor, wearing Kevlar helmets and tactical equipment vests while carrying assault weapons (yes, cops carry true assault weapons) and riding around in explosion-resistant armored vehicles - is giving local police the look of an occupying army."

The growing militarization of U.S. police: "Mountain Pure Water, LLC is headquartered... just outside the town of Little Rock, Arkansas. The company manufactures and distributes beverage containers, spring water, fruit drinks, and teas. In January 2012 about 50 federal agents... swooped in, guns drawn. Without explanation they shut down plant operations, herded employees into the cafeteria, and confined them to the room for hours. They could not so much as use the bathroom without police escort. Cell phones were confiscated and all Internet and company phones were disabled....

     "Stacks claims he has gotten calls from many companies that have suffered similar raids, but they are afraid to speak out. Here are a few examples that have made national news....

     "The SWAT concept was popularized by Los Angeles Police Chief Darryl Gates in the late 1960s.... But the use of SWAT teams has since exploded. Massive SWAT raids using military-style equipment are becoming routine methods for executing search warrants. One study estimates 40,000 such raids per year nationwide."

Contracts were for “training aids” and “paperboard”: "Minnesota-based Law Enforcement Training Inc., which brags of its close relationship with the DHS and thousands of law enforcement agencies, has stoked outrage after producing shooting targets which feature 'non traditional' threats amidst banal environments such as a pregnant woman in a nursery, a mother in a school playground and a little boy....

      "Following concerns that the issue could be linked with Homeland Security’s purchase of around 2 billion bullets over the last year, which many fear is linked to preparations for domestic disorder, it has now emerged that Law Enforcement Training Inc. has racked up contracts worth almost $2 million dollars with the DHS over the last three years....The vast majority of those contracts were for 'training aids' and 'paperboard.”

Obama’s New Peacekeeper Army: "The old army fought for a nation. The new one fights for vague concepts such as human rights or international law.... It doesn’t fight actual enemies, but concepts and social problems. It fights against climate change, poverty and obesity. It fights for education, tolerance and the right of everyone to the gender of their choice.

DoD Disenfranchising Military Personnel: "...the Department of Defense (DoD) stands in clear violation of a central provision of this federal law, which mandated the creation of on-base voter assistance offices. The price of DoD’s failure to follow the law will likely be paid this November by military service members and their families, whose voting rights were to have been safeguarded by this provision. We request a timely response on what you intend to do to ensure that our military service members and their families receive the voter assistance they need in order to participate in the democratic process this November."

US Veterans Forcibly Sequestered in Mental Hospitals is Indefinite Detention: "The RAND Corporation paints US veterans as dangerous because of the degree to which they are mentally affected by their service exposure to war and war-like conditions. The globalist think-tank says veterans are suffering from 'schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression, and substance use disorders.' Doctors have classified Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as an incurable brain disease that soldiers returning from war suffer from. After having injured the brain during battle, soldiers are being touted as displaying large bursts of anger and depression while having their vital motor skills and memory impacted. Symptoms of CTE are recognized as memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression..." See  Psalm 62:5-8

Outcry after military veteran detained for anti-government Facebook posts: "...The Rutherford Institute, dispatched one of its attorneys to the hospital to represent Raub at a hearing Monday....Rutherford executive director John Whitehead said. "For government officials to not only arrest Brandon Raub for doing nothing more than exercising his First Amendment rights but to actually force him to undergo psychological evaluations and detain him against his will goes against every constitutional principle this country was founded upon.'...Raub's mother...said her son, who served tours as a combat engineer in Iraq and Afghanistan... believes the U.S. government was complicit in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks....'

     "Whitehead said he found nothing alarming... 'The posts I read that supposedly were of concern were libertarian-type posts I see all the time.' ...The big concern, Whitehead said, is whether government officials are monitoring citizens' private Facebook pages and detaining people with whom they disagree."

PC Kills American troops: More than 100 unarmed already murdered by Muslim ‘friends’: "...prior to this new directive, troops were required to remove the magazines from their weapons while quartered at bases with Afghans they were training.... Why the change? Apparently it took more than 100 deaths for a military brass... to figure out that the presence of armed Afghan trainees in the presence of unarmed American trainers gave our so-called 'trusted Afghan partners' a decided tactical advantage."

 Ex-US commander McChrystal calls for reviving draft: "The former US commander in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, has urged that the draft be reinstated to spread the burden of fighting and to instill a sense of shared civic duty among young Americans. ...The general...said a new national service requirement could include a range of non-military activities. ...The specific projects were less important than the 'shared experience' of service, he said. 'It's not whether they go build roads and parks or that sort of thing. It's what you put inside them, because once you have contributed to something, you have a slightly different view of it.'"

Civilian Defense: A Different Kind of Draft?  "This 2010 Bill (H. R. 5741) would "require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security... and for other purposes."

      "Would such residents include foreign students, young workers with visas, illegal aliens...? The bill doesn't tell us. Instead it leaves many specific decisions... up to the President."

AmeriCorps: "Among the most wasteful of the spending increases hidden in President Obama's 2011 budget proposal is his plan to create an army of government-funded community organizers at the shocking price of $1.4 billion. While the economy reels and many taxpayers are looking for ways to trim their personal spending, the president is demanding a whopping 59 percent boost for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its best-known program, AmeriCorps."

Service.  Obama's 'army' crashes colleges for health 'reform': "President Obama's 'grassroots army' has descended upon college campuses, knocking on dorm doors to recruit students... pushing health-care 'reform.' Obama for America, Obama's 2008 political campaign... is now known as Organizing for America....

     "A message from OFA national volunteer coordinators announcing the recruitment campaign and internship opportunities had been posted on several websites and on Facebook. 'Students and young people were critical in building the movement that helped elect President Obama last year. By becoming a National Organizing Intern, you'll be part of the grassroots effort to make the change we fought for a reality in 2009 and beyond,' it stated. 'As an Organizing Intern, you'll work side by side with OFA staff and community leaders to help build support for President Obama's agenda. You'll learn core organizing principles that are crucial for any campaign....'

     "The announcement continues, 'President Obama describes his time as a community organizer by saying: 'It was the best education I ever had...' 'This is your chance to get that same education.... Volunteers commit to working at least 12 hours a week and, according to the OFA website, may receive college credit from their schools for doing so." See Training a Socialist Army of World Servers

Hollywood programming pursues Obama agenda: "An internal memo for a prominent Hollywood organization reveals plans to incorporate President Obama's political talking points into the storylines of shows on all four leading broadcast networks. The memo, uncovered by Jim Nolte, a writer for the Big Hollywood website, cites Obama's call 'for a new era of responsibility – recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and world to serve others.'...

      "The memo says 'unprecedented week-long of television programming on all four leading broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC… beginning October 19' will feature 'organically" created storylines about service and volunteerism touching on the 'key issues' of education and children, health and well-being, environmental conservation.... Those subjects and such volunteerism have been key parts of Obama's agenda since even before he lobbied for and obtained the 'GIVE Act,' H.R. 1388...." See Mind Change and Collective Service

Obama urges people to serve their communities: "Calling public service 'the essence of our liberty,' President Barack Obama on Friday urged Americans to step up and volunteer in their communities.... The event was hosted by former President George H.W. Bush at Texas A&M University. Bush was the first president to create a permanent White House office dedicated to promoting volunteerism.

Bachmann fears ‘politically correct re-education camps for young people’: "It’s under the guise of — quote — volunteerism. But it’s not volunteers at all. It’s paying people to do work on behalf of government.… I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."

Department of Defense DIRECTIVE: "...an appropriately sized subset of the DoD civilian workforce is pre-identified to be organized, trained, and equipped in a manner that facilitates the use of their capabilities for operational requirements. These requirements are typically away from the normal work locations of DoD civilians, or in situations where other civilians may be evacuated to assist military forces where the use of DoD civilians is appropriate. These employees shall be collectively known as the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce. Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations ....

Squeezing Out the Faithful to Make Way for ACORN: "Should the federal government tempt people to cease volunteering at churches and instead be paid to 'volunteer' at government-subsidized projects? That’s the essence of the '...Serve America Act' which President Obama signed into law on April 21...

      "President Obama, whose constituent groups such as ACORN stand to benefit handsomely, hailed the bill’s passage, saying, '... it is up to each of us to seize those opportunities.' 'Seize' is right.'...

      "Generosity has been a hallmark of American character. It’s a product of the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage, and it’s the polar opposite of cold, contractual transfers that characterize socialism.

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."

March 2009

Congress passes service bill: "President Obama issued a statement applauding the bill's passage. 'I congratulate the House on passing the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. This is legislation that will usher in a new era of service in America.... Because of this legislation, millions of Americans at all stages of their lives 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. I call on all Americans to stand up and do what they can to serve their communities, shape our history and enrich both their own lives and the lives of others across this country.”

    "After the Senate passage last week, Obama said in a statement that 'our work is not finished when I sign this bill into law -- it has just begun."

National Service Corps Bill Clears Senate Hurdle: "...the Senate tonight voted 74 to 14 on a procedural move that essentially guarantees a major expansion of a national service corps.

    "...a national service corps, an army dispersed to help with education, health services and the environment, would vastly enlarge the notion of 'community organizing,' and allow, as Senator Barbara Mikulski, Democrat of Maryland, said tonight, for about 7 million people to be engaged in such work."

House adopts plan for 'volunteer' corps: "The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a plan to set up a new 'volunteer corps' and consider whether 'a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service 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.'" See Christian Service

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.'"

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." See the first excerpt at Mind Control

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." See The Draft is Back - Again!

US troops 'coerced to re-enlist': "A US congresswoman has called for an investigation into claims that Iraq war veterans were threatened with being sent to Iraq unless they stayed on."

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 contained BG and zinc cadmium sulfide. In a recent fact sheet, the Pentagon 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."


November 2003

Rumsfeld Visits Asia to Discuss Adjustments to US Forces: "En route to Guam, Rumsfeld told reporters that no decisions had been made on whether to reduce the number of U.S. troops in South Korea or Japan.... Rumsfeld said in the post-Cold War era, the U.S. was moving from a static defensive posture to 'a footprint that recognizes it's not possible today to predict with precision where a threat may come from or exactly what kind of a threat it might be.' The U.S. and its allies need 'more agility' and access to a larger number of locations to face those threats....." CNS news, Nov. 14, 2003

Notice sparks return of US military draft fears: "A routine notice advertising the need for people to serve on US draft boards has prompted suggestions the Pentagon may restart the military draft. But officials have denied a move 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 has already been written: The Draft is Back - Again!

Reaction to Rumsfeld memo mixed: "...the memo said the United States has no way to measure whether it is winning or losing the war, has not made "truly bold moves" to fight terrorists and is in for "a long, hard slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan.... The memo suggested that the government might need a "new institution" to fight the war and should consider a way to counter radical Islamic schools that are churning out terrorists.... James Dobbins... director of international security and defense for the Rand think tank, said ... solving the problem may call for "restructuring institutions."

US raises spectre of conscription: "The American defence department has begun a recruitment drive for local draft boards, raising questions about a possible revival of conscription.... There has been no draft in the US since it was ended by Congress in 1973, the year that US troops pulled out of Vietnam.... Re-instatement would require action by the president and approval by Congress...."

Nato hints at undertaking pre-emptive missions: "NATO’s military commander said on Tuesday he sees the alliance taking on more stabilisation missions in the future, pre-emptively going into troubled regions to try to prevent them from becoming runaway breeding grounds for terrorists. US Marine Corps General James L. Jones, who took over in January as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said the alliance has to transform from a 20th century reactive force to one willing to actively deploy its troops to hotspots."

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." Please pray for our soldiers. John 15:7-8

 

Plan for UN to run internet 'will be shelved': "An attempt by developing countries to put management of the internet under United Nations auspices is likely to be shelved at next month's world information summit in Geneva - but the issue is now firmly on the international agenda, summit sources say....  UN officials say they see no compromise emerging. They expect governments to decide instead to continue talks on internet governance with the aim of reaching accord by 2005."

Young Guns: "Dolores Paige told the Marine Corps recruiter he could enlist all the students at Willowridge High School -- except her son. 'I told him, 'You take all these kids if you want to, but don't you call my house -- you ain't getting my baby.'" Psalm 23

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. See Four Faces of Islam and Psalm 62:5-8
