Feds Train Clergy To "Quell Dissent" During Martial Law

Feds Train Clergy To "Quell Dissent" During Martial Law
Shocking KSLA 12 news report confirms story we broke last year, Pastors to cite Romans 13 as reason for public to obey government orders, relinquish guns and be taken to camps during state of emergency

A shocking KSLA news report has confirmed the story we first broke last year, that Clergy Response Teams are being trained by the federal government to "quell dissent" and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law.
In May 2006, we exposed the existence of a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to "obey the government" in preparation for the implementation of martial law, property and firearm seizures, mass vaccination programs and forced relocation.
A whistleblower who was secretly enrolled into the program told us that the feds were clandestinely recruiting religious leaders to help implement Homeland Security directives in anticipation of a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency.

CNN: Americans May Need Passport To Have Picnic in a Park

CNN: Americans May Need Passport To Have Picnic in a Park
Eliott C. McLaughlin CNN Thursday, August 16, 2007
(CNN) -- Americans may need passports to board domestic flights or to picnic in a national park next year if they live in one of the states defying the federal Real ID Act.
The act, signed in 2005 as part of an emergency military spending and tsunami relief bill, aims to weave driver's licenses and state ID cards into a sort of national identification system by May 2008. The law sets baseline criteria for how driver's licenses will be issued and what information they must contain.
The Department of Homeland Security insists Real ID is an essential weapon in the war on terror, but privacy and civil liberties watchdogs are calling the initiative an overly intrusive measure that smacks of Big Brother

Up Dollar * Palast-Jones * 9/11 Cult

"By deciding to ante up $38 billion for a
hopeless bailout of predatory Wall Street
hedge funds and the banks that stand behind them, Federal Reserve
Chairman
Helicopter Ben Bernanke has placed the bankrupt US dollar on a direct
course
towards the precipice of hyperinflation. In so
doing, he has given new momentum
to the backers and controllers of Dick Cheney,
who favor an insane flight forward
into general war with Iran, deluding themselves that they can thus
escape from
both military defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
from the death agony of the dollar."

Editor's Notes:

In economic circles, the shit is hitting the fan.
In this dangerous time people are losing their
homes, while the banks are being over-inflated.
In our last issue we posted an article from
<http://worldreports.org/news>World Reports about
the
<http://worldreports.org/news/77_predicted_global_cri>predicted
global crisis. In this issue we are posting in
item 1 compatible viewpoints; by Webster Tarpley
and another by Steve Watson. I have called family
and friends who are invested in Wall Street and
advised to sell and reduce all their debt and
invest in real things that have to do with clean
air, water, food, and energy. For those wanting
to join efforts for renewable cost effective
conversion of (waste) processed heat into
electrical power, I suggest visiting FN's page on

Solution for onsite power production. We are at
the edge of the universe where Earth's ecosystem
degradation can be accelerated or slowed down. I
think slowing down makes sense.

Item 2 begins with an update on
<http://911blogger.com/node/10606>Greg Palast
apologizing to Dr. Steven Jones. I agree with the
comment following the article at 911bloger.com –
"Just goes to show, when you have truth on your
side, there is no reason to degrade yourself to
name-calling and attacks. Well-done Dr. Jones!
This is a good example for all of us."

Military Recruiters and the Opt-Out form

Hi all,
 
***If anyone is offended by this email, I am sorry but my morals will not allow me to sit idly by and watch anyone to join the military without full knowledge of what it means to join.  Please know this letter was not sent with malicious intent but truly with regard to life and preservation of our children's lives which I value highly.  If you know me, you know that I value your opinion and I would hope you would do the same for me, or in the very least research what I've sent you today.***
 
Today was High School registration for my daughter who is now in the 10th grade.  I register my son next week, he's in the 11th grade.  Once again I'm reminded that I have to fill out an opt-out form, each year I have to submit a new one.  Many of the people in her school didn't know what the opt-out form was and I find it scary to think that they are OK with recruiters contacting the children in this High School.  I offered to print several copies on my own dime for them to hand out but they said that it wasn't necessary.  They went on to say that when asked they'll just have their parents sign a letter stating they didn't want their child contacted and keep the letter in  a safe place.  Not good enough for me, and maybe you should think about it also if you have a High School aged child.  We turned in a copy to the school, the superintendent and kept a copy for our own records.
 
With registration going on nation-wide, if you have a child or know of someone with a High School aged child I implore you to sign the form on the links below and turn it into your child's school no later than the first week of school.  Some schools state that if it's not turned in within that time then they have no power over whether or not the recuriters contact your child.  I think that's a lie since I once worked for a school district and know that is simply untrue.  However, those who are for sending our kids to war will say what they want without accountability, and they are expecting us to follow like sheep.  Please err on the side of caution and turn it in before the first week of school is over.
 
What is an opt-out form you ask?  It is a form that you must sign and give to your student's school so that the recruiters cannot contact your child, take your child off of school grounds and convince your child to join the military (this form is for High School students but you can sign one for your middle school student too just to be sure).  You can find the form and an explanation at http://www.afsc.org/youthmil/militarism-in-schools/default.htm.  The English version http://www.afsc.org/youthmil/militarism-in-schools/opt-out.rtf and Spanish version http://www.afsc.org/youthmil/militarism-in-schools/optar-fuera.rtf .
 

According to the AFSC website: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 contains a provision that forces secondary schools to turn over students' name, address and telephone number to military recruiters upon demand. Parents and students have a right to "opt-out". 

  • Under the No Child Left Behind Act, Section 9528 requires that all secondary schools release contact information about students to military recruiters upon request.
  • The same section specifies that parents may "request that the student's name, address, and telephone listing. not be released without prior written parental consent, and the local educational agency or private school shall notify parents of the option to make a request and shall comply with any request."
  • When schools inform students of their right, they are complying with the stated requirements of No Child Left Behind. This helps them maintain eligibility for federal funding.
  • The law states that a parent or a student may request that their contact information be withheld from recruiters

This is about protecting student's right to safety In 2004 there were 320 counts of recruiting violations reported including:

    • Sexual assault
    • Arrest threats
    • Forgery of documents
    • Cheating on entrance exams
    • Doctoring drug tests

This is about students' right to choice about their future. A student cannot make a fair choice about his or her future when we allow recruiters into students' homes while they spout off myths like:

 

Myth: You are guaranteed $70,000 for college

 

Reality: Only 43% of those who enlist in the Montgomery GI bill will ever see a penny for college, and all must pay in $1200 that they will never see again

 

Myth: You can try out the military for a few months and quit if you do not like it:

 

Reality: Once you state the oath at the beginning of basic training, you are there until your contract runs out. or longer. Moreover, Section C9c the military enlistment contract states that: " In the event of war, my enlistment in the Armed Forces continues until six (6) months after the war ends, unless my enlistment is ended sooner by the President of the United States."

 

Myth: A recruit is guaranteed any promise made by a recruiter

 

Reality: The military enlistment agreement states that: " Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay, allowances, benefits, and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces regardless of the provisions of this enlistment/reenlistment document."

 

Myth: The military will leave you better prepared for a career upon exiting the service

 

Reality: Less than 12% of veterans surveyed claimed that they used any of the skills learned in the military in their civilian jobs

 

And if any of your children are in the Delayed Enlistment Program and want out, and have not yet gone to boot camp, please contact us.  We can help him/her get out before they go in. 

 

We have to protect our children from these predators who promise a lie they cannot deliver.  Our children are counting on us to protect them too. 

 

Pass them out far and wide to as many High Schoolers as you can.

 

Peace always,

 

Yvette and Tim Coil

EXCERPT:

CDI's design called for the 17 structures to fail
asymmetrically to one another, across the site, to help dampen
vibration from the fall of debris. This, coupled with CDI's carefully
timed detonation sequence, would allow the vibration "waves" created
by the fall of the individual structures to "cancel one another out"
to the extent possible. CDI's design proved successful, and no damage
was caused as a result of CDI's operations. During the 19 second
implosion sequence, the highest seismic readings recorded (less than
100' away at adjacent properties to remain) were less than ½" per
second peak particle velocity.

Romney Jokes About Cheating in Poll

News Updates from Citizens for Legitimate Government

Romney Jokes About Cheating in Poll By Garance Franke-Ruta 11 Aug 2007 at Last night, at the pre-Straw Poll "Ronstock" concert at the Bali Satay House in Ames, a Ron Paul volunteer played back a recording of competing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joking about cheating in a State Fair popularity contest, stuffing the ballot box in Ames, and dodging questions across the state... Romney also joked about stuffing the ballot box at today's Straw Poll. "At 7 o'clock they will count the ballots. We will stuff the ballot box, I hope," he said on the recording. And he joked about cheating in the Corn Poll, the bi-partisan State Fair popularity contest in which attendees are asked to "cast your kernel" by placing a kernel of corn in a jar for their favored candidate to show their support. "I was a little dismayed because I saw Barack Obama, he had a lot of corn in that Mason jar," quipped Romney. "But I was number one - so thanks for cheating!"

Romney Leadership Team Member Overseeing Straw Poll By Birdlady 09 Aug 2007 The Iowa GOP is facing possible suit over their use of the same Diebold machines that were just de-certified. They are claiming of course, that there is nothing to worry about since the voting procedure will be conducted with the assistance and oversight of the Story County Auditor's Office. If we look here, we see the Story County Auditor is Mary Mosiman. Mary Mosiman also happens to be on Mitt Romney's "Romney for President [Story County] Leadership Team"... It's also worth noting that according to this article, Romney's Commonwealth PAC gave State Auditor David A. Vaudt $1,000 in 2004.

Voting Machine Malfunction Causes Delay 11 Aug 2007 The results of the Iowa Republican Straw poll have been delayed for more than an hour tonight as officials recount about 1,500 ballots from one 'voting' machine. Mary Tiffany, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Iowa, said officials were forced to count ballots by hand after one of the 'voting' machines malfunctioned while tabulating. Optical scan ballots – not punch cards – are being used in this non-binding straw poll.

Judge Refuses to Stop Iowa Straw Poll 11 Aug 2007 A federal judge on Friday refused to issue an injunction to stop the Iowa Straw Poll after a lawsuit was filed over the constitutionality of the 'voting' process used at the event. "In the absence of some legal violation, the Republican Party can run their (event) however they want," Judge James Gritzner said in his decision, which quickly followed the hearing because the straw poll was scheduled to start Saturday morning. The lawsuit was filed late Thursday, and the judge said there wasn't adequate notice given to the defendants, who were served early Friday morning. The defendants included State Auditor David Vaudt, Story County Commissioner of Elections Mary Mosiman and Republican Party Chairman Ray Hoffmann.

Romney Wins Iowa GOP Straw Poll 11 Aug 2007 As expected, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 'won' an easy victory in a high-profile Iowa Republican Party Straw Poll. Romney had spent millions of dollars and months of effort on an event that was skipped by two of his major rivals.

Romney Jokes About Cheating in Poll By Garance Franke-Ruta 11 Aug 2007 at Last night, at the pre-Straw Poll "Ronstock" concert at the Bali Satay House in Ames, a Ron Paul volunteer played back a recording of competing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joking about cheating in a State Fair popularity contest, stuffing the ballot box in Ames, and dodging questions across the state... Romney also joked about stuffing the ballot box at today's Straw Poll. "At 7 o'clock they will count the ballots. We will stuff the ballot box, I hope," he said on the recording. And he joked about cheating in the Corn Poll, the bi-partisan State Fair popularity contest in which attendees are asked to "cast your kernel" by placing a kernel of corn in a jar for their favored candidate to show their support. "I was a little dismayed because I saw Barack Obama, he had a lot of corn in that Mason jar," quipped Romney. "But I was number one - so thanks for cheating!"

Romney Leadership Team Member Overseeing Straw Poll By Birdlady 09 Aug 2007 The Iowa GOP is facing possible suit over their use of the same Diebold machines that were just de-certified. They are claiming of course, that there is nothing to worry about since the voting procedure will be conducted with the assistance and oversight of the Story County Auditor's Office. If we look here, we see the Story County Auditor is Mary Mosiman. Mary Mosiman also happens to be on Mitt Romney's "Romney for President [Story County] Leadership Team"... It's also worth noting that according to this article, Romney's Commonwealth PAC gave State Auditor David A. Vaudt $1,000 in 2004.

Voting Machine Malfunction Causes Delay 11 Aug 2007 The results of the Iowa Republican Straw poll have been delayed for more than an hour tonight as officials recount about 1,500 ballots from one 'voting' machine. Mary Tiffany, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Iowa, said officials were forced to count ballots by hand after one of the 'voting' machines malfunctioned while tabulating. Optical scan ballots - not punch cards - are being used in this non-binding straw poll.
