The volunteer military has links with conservative religious folks

"Armed conflict" or any other form of violence is the result of

It means that people FAILED to do the job of civilized people, and be
able to come to peaceful resolution. My bumper sticker reads, "Frodo

Most thinking people do NOT glamorize war, and war is a vile thing to

a declaration of failure. No one really "wins" a war, Ralph. People
lose their lives, their families, their lands, their wealth.

Fundamentalist Christianity Weds the Military
Debra Schaffer Hubert and Bob Nichols , Jun 04, 2006 @ 03:48 GMT
(edit)
(San Francisco, Berkeley) An intricate symbiotic relationship exists
between the Church and the State. It is in blatant and conspicuous view
in United States society.
We believe the extreme crisis of the lack of separation of church and
military state is crucial to focus on with considering the dire need
for success of the global peace and justice movement in ending the
genocidal, apocalyptic wars the United States have been inflicting on
the world.
We say apocalyptic because it is clear that the Christian
Fundamentalist Administration doubts there is hope for a future. They
think we are in the End Times according to Revelations. They have left
whole continents permanently uninhabitable by the relentless dropping
of radioactive uranium, as they are out, according to G.W. Bush,
"fighting Evildoers for God."[2]
We have been following recent Fundamentalist Christian trends and have
made some alarming discoveries [3].
Ron Luce, leader of the BattleCry Christian youth movement, is a
taxpayer paid political appointee by George W. Bush to the White House
Advisory Commission on Drug Free Communities.
Luce, et al, in the far right wing Christian Fundamentalist camps, such
as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, are out fervently glorifying war in
pursuit of the deeper implementation of their view of biblical world
order.
They hold youth gatherings in stadium arenas across the country called
BattleCry [4]. The Navy SEALS are used as Ron Luce's right hand to
loudly proclaim they believe they are "Christian Soldiers" in
military duty and in civilian life.
Virtually all the propaganda in BattleCry events utilizes military
rhetoric and metaphor. There is a Hummer sporting a red revolution flag
on stage, to dog tags, posters with youth carrying automatic weapons
and Navy SEALs giving Christian testimony and making "BattlePlans"
for Jesus.
Ron Luce is not only applauding the Bush Administration's war
atrocities when he brings Navy SEALs, real or fake, on stage and talks
about how noble it is to be a soldier and a Christian. BattleCry is, in
essence, recruiting for G.W. Bush's apocalyptic style of unending
wars while at the same time encouraging a religiously repressive and
destructively cultish society at home.
BattleCry is Reminiscent of Hitler's youth brigades
George Bush's endorsement of BattleCry is read to the cheering youth
in the stadium arenas "Since its inception, Teen Mania (BattleCry's
founder) has demonstrated a strong commitment to organize young
Christian men and women to help others in need. Your efforts contribute
to a brighter future for all Americans."
Sunsara Taylor of the World Can't Wait, reports from the BattleCry
gathering in Philadelphia [5] in her "Ron Luce's Holy War"
article, Franklin Graham, heir to Rev. Billy Graham's throne, spoke
at Philadelphia's BattleCry. The heart of his speech was a call for
holy war. He preached about the "battle for souls of men and women
from North to South, East to West, over the entire earth." There is,
he declared, "No way to God but through Jesus Christ."
Incidentally, Billy Graham, Franklin's father, is credited for
converting G. W. Bush to Fundamentalist Christianity.
We believe this is strikingly similar to the Nazi Germany youth
organization.
Except that joinng the H.J. was more or less complusory.
The Hitler youth numbered 107,956 at the end of 1932. By
the end of 1933 the Hitler youth held a membership of 2,300,000. The
rise came from the merger of the Nazis with the Evangelical Church in
Germany. [6]
All Branches of the Armed Services epidemic in zealous Christolotry
If non-believers avoid military service, what does one expect???
The Navy SEALs, unfortunately, are not the only military organizations
who have infiltrated the country's churches. We have observed with
alarm that every military branch has top brass espousing Extremist
Christian rhetoric.
Navy
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the special
operations forces of the U.S. Navy. They are the Navy's most zealous
and unquestioning warriors, having proven extreme commitment by going
through a three tiered process before even becoming a SEAL.
Apply heat and huge amounts of pressure, add automatic weapons and the
United States get a pumped up group of trained killers that are expert
in stealthful military maneuvers, especially in the world's waters.
And Dam Proud Of It.
The Navy SEALS at BattleCry are dressed in Desert Battle Dress Uniforms
(BDU's) such as they do in the Middle East to defeat the terrorists
in the desert who are, according to top naval brass, Admiral Michael G.
Mullen [7] "lying in wait to destroy freedom and liberty."
After Schaffer's BattleCry articles were published on Counterpunch
and Buzzflash she received correspondence from a Navy Captain and
civilian Attorney who prefers to remain anonymous. He states he is
speaking out on behalf of separation of church and state as a concerned
private citizen and not as a Navy Officer.
This Navy Captain is an example of a person who believes in the
delusional legitimacy of a lethal armed military force equipped with
radioactive genocidal weapons is a potentially good thing. Yet he
denounces adamantly the use of religious ideology to dictate its
actions.
The Navy Captain writes in an e-mail to Schaffer "I read with alarm
your article on the recent BattleCry rally in Philadelphia where
members of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team appeared in Uniform with weapons. I
also saw photos of the event showing the SEAL team carrying automatic
weapons. These are violations of U.S. Navy Regulations and the UCMJ
(Uniform Code of Military Justice) [8] if in fact these individuals
were truly Navy Personnel. It is a federal offense under
18 U.S.C. 912, if it was done for monetary gain of some kind."
The Navy Lawyer continued "It seems to me that showing up at a rally
in uniform, shooting off military weapons, gives the impression that
they favor the violent suppression of the civil rights of those who
disagree with their religious views. Their warlike rhetoric only
affirms such a view - regardless of their denials of such intent.
It's like the Klan denying it is racist, and is just in favor of the
rights of white people. Quite frankly, I get the impression that they
are going to send a SEAL team out there to kill all those who don't
bow down with their particular version of Christianity!"
He added showing his alignment with the justification of military "We
need more pacifists in this country, and I salute you because it also
takes bravery to stand up for what is right. It is important that you
protest even justifiable wars so that we do not get complacent about
military action in general. Maybe if we get enough of them, it won't
be necessary for people like me to go off to strange places like Iraq
that I would just as soon avoid. I would recommend that all pacifists
serve in the military as medics and corpsmen. I think a person having
been through it, their voice would be even stronger."
"I would suggest that all concerned contact Americans United for
Separation of Church and State and make this a public issue. [9] This
is completely and utterly wrong."
"The more I read about these people [BattleCry], I believe that they
qualify as a Supremacist Organization under Article 1167 of the Navy
Regulations. This means that military members cannot attend or
participate in such groups even out of unifrm."
Article 1167 states as follows:
"No person in the Naval service shall participate in any organization
that espouses supremacist causes; attempt to create illegal
discrimination based on race, creed, color, sex, religion, or national
origin advocates the use of force or violence against the government of
the United States or the government of any state territory, district,
or possession thereof, or the government of any subdivision therein."
He also states there are strict regulations regarding the use of
munitions while not under military duty, even if blanks are shot.
Taylor recounts in her "Ron Luce's Holy War article" about
BattleCry Philadelphia. "A group of Navy SEALs are projected on the
large screen above the stadium as they make their way from backstage.
Dressed in desert BDUs carrying automatic weapons, kicking down doors
and firing blanks into empty rooms along their way, they looked like
the house-to-house raids and indiscriminate killing seen in rare
footage of Iraq."
The youth at BattleCry roar with enthusiastic cheering and approval of
the staged entrance of these "honorable Christian warriors".
This Navy Captain considers it his best move to approach Chief Naval
Operations Officer, Admiral Michael G. Mullen to report this finding of
SEALs in religious events.
When researching Admiral Mullen, we get some clues about his beliefs as
we read remarks delivered on August 31, 2005 at the Naval War College
in Newport, Rhode Island. Perhaps the Navy and Fundamentalist
Christianity are in a deep committed connection with one another.
"I see many shades of service here -- green, light blue, and dark
blue -- as well as sisters and brothers in arms from all over the
world. I also see governmental agencies represented here, people who
feel just as strongly about national security as any of us in uniform.
You too wear the "cloth of the nation."
Admiral Mullen insinuates using the metaphor of the Navy as wearing the
"Cloth of the Nation" as if it were as religious as it is military.
With someone like this in highest command, how can we even hope for any
kind of substantial intervention?
The SEALs, having close affiliation with Fundamentalist Christians, are
the most elite homophobic fighting force on the planet. They are
recruiting directly from the Christian evangelical's offspring in
gatherings where sex and homosexuality is strictly denounced. Fighting
"Satan" through the misogynistic state military apparatus is
enthusiastically encouraged and boasted about.
Army
Blatantly religiously outspoken Christian Fundamentalist Army Lt.
General William G. Boykin, appointed by G.W. Bush, has received
critical alarm from Americans United for Separation of Church and
State. He appears regularly in dress uniform to religious groups.
Boykin is quoted "We, in the army of God, kingdom of God, have been
raised for such a time as this."
Richard T. Cooper writes in CommonDreams.org "General Casts War in
Religious Terms."[10] "In his public remarks, Boykin has also said
that radical Muslims who resort to terrorism are not representative of
the Islamic faith. Boykin's reference to the God of Islam as 'an
idol' may be perceived as particularly inflammatory."
Conservative Christians have defended Boykin despite the Abu Ghraib
scandal (the Christian Coalition had an online petition in support of
Boykin on its homepage), and James Dobson of Focus on the Family called
Boykin's statements "consistent with mainstream evangelical beliefs".
Sendtoscott exposes Boykin in Abu Ghraib "Hell House of the Religious
Right." [11] "Boykin told one gathering 'Why is this man in the
White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. He's in
the White House because God put him there for a time such as
this.'"
Schaffer adds "Everyone with any sense knows that Bush is not in the
least bit qualified to be in the White House and being a fundamentalist
Christian only exacerbates the reasons why."
Nichols writes in his article "Confident US Generals Commit war
crimes" [12] "... The amount of radiation released by the atomic
bombs [in 1945] pales in comparison to the huge amount of permanent
killing radiation released in Iraq. The total radioactive life span of
uranium weapons is a majestically creepazoid 45 billion years. The
Iraqis have a right to ask, "Why do the Americans hate us so? Why do
the Americans want to exterminate us? ..."
Nichols continued "... Now, in 2006, the United States is the most
successful fascist empire, with the most lethal military, in the
history of the world. The fascist government of war criminals and
crooks must be put out as soon as possible, certainly before they
invade Iran and use global thermonuclear weapons as promised and
nuclear munitions again to do so. Words do not count in this arena,
though, only actions..."
Marines
First published on Sunday, November 7, 2004 in Agence France Press from
Near Fallujah [13] "Holy War: Evangelical Marines Prepare to Battle
Barbarians" this article illustrates the entrenchment this version of
the Christian Faith has become in the U.S. Marine Corp.
"Men with buzzcuts and clad in their camouflage waved their hands in
the air, M-16 assault rifles beside them and chanted heavy
metal-flavored lyrics in praise of Christ. 'You are the sovereign.
Your name is holy. You are the pure spotless lamb,' a female voice
cried out on the loudspeakers as the Marines clapped their hands and
closed their eyes, reflecting what lay ahead for them. 'Victory
belongs to the Lord' another young Marine read.
They proceeded onto one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraqi war which
leveled an entire city of 300,000 people to the ground, spraying people
with deadly white phosphorus and genocidal radioactive uranium,
What a bunch of wimpy-boys. Getting their feelings hurt because US
forces use truly effective ordnance.
Depleted Uranium is not a genocide weapon. The vast percentage of
those rounds used have been fired within the USA and Europe. But some
wimpy-boys apparently want US forces to eliminate the enemy without
actually harming their bodies.
with no
signs of the intervention of humanitarian behavior whatsoever.
The American soldiers were witnessed getting anointed with oil before
battle in Iraq just as Christ was supposedly anointed with oil-- this
kind of fanaticism--this kind of disjointedness, is how violent
crusades are justified and perpetuated.
Soldiers going into battle have always taken on any sort of good
luck charm on offer. On every side of every war.
These people are just stupid.
Air Force
Christian Fundamentalism supremacy has been a common occurrence in the
United States Air Force. More than 90% of the Air Force Academy
identify as Christians.
Among other accusations, cadets are frequently pressured to attend
chapel and take religious instruction, particularly in the
fundamentalist evangelical Christian faith.
The Commandant of the Colorado Air Force Academy, Brig. General Johnny
Weida, a Born-Again Christian, drew fire from at least one student who
said the General put God in front of the Constitution in a speech to
students.
Political Apathy Disorder
We pose this question: Do the Bush Administration policies include the
use of the cover of Christianity to build forces for the United States
Military and the military to build forces within the right wing church?
Abu Gharib and Guantanamo prove that the United States military can act
against even International Treaties by torturing detainees, with
guaranteed impunity, in order to accomplish a mission; it would inflict
a mild tsk, tsk, at best, for the breaking of the code against military
recruitment at supremacist Christian gatherings.
In other words, we have no hope of a system of checks and balances
within the judiciary or any other branch of government. The only sliver
of hope is that the American people rise up out of their sheepdom and
join the ranks of people seriously planning how to make living on this
earth sustainable and harmonious. At the risk of sounding pessimistic,
this is looking impossible.
Why? A proposed addition to the American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-IV, sheds
some light on the pervasive question of "Why are Americans OK with this
Genocide in Iraq?"
The new diagnosis, Political Apathy Disorder, (PAD) [14] is proposed as
a new Personality Disorder classified as 301.88. The diagnostic
criteria include knowledge of social problems and the failure to act on
them. Political conservatism to the point it "justifies social and
economic inequalities" qualifies as a diagnostic criteria. The
individual must meet three or more criteria for diagnosis.
In short, the hundreds of millions of Americans dominated and
controlled by the fascist psychopaths hell bent on creating Armageddon
in the Middle East, in addition to stealing their oil and gas till
Armageddon comes, are also diagnosable as psychotically delusional.
After WWII, the victorious Allied Powers tried the German Nazi
political and military leadership for their many War Crimes and Crimes
Against Humanity. A San Francisco based lawyer, Karen Parker, who
specializes in Humanitarian Law and Armed Conflict Law, is pursuing a
lawsuit against certain corporations and the United States government
for the Massacre at Fallujah, Iraq. Many of the same legal principles
are involved. It is Genocide no matter how the US tries to spin it and
the whole world is watching as psychotic Americans try to change TV
channels.
The Denouncement of Secular Humanism and Liberalism and the control of
the population through biblical authoritarianism.
BattleCry is not just a call to arms against the literal biblical
"Satan", but a deeper call against the perceived enemy within the
State - none other than secular humanism and/or liberalism, which is
scapegoat #1 next to terrorists, as if it is the offspring of the devil
himself.
Luce's Holy War follows the Fundamentalist call for Christian youth
to denounce secularism and embrace strict biblical law, especially
around expressions of sexuality and its many paths of natural
diversity.
The Fundamentalists are claiming it is sexual diversity that is
angering God and destroying society. We assert it is unrealistic,
puritanistic sexual repression and militarism that are causing societal
degradation and violence. [15]
Sexuality expressed in conscious, accepting and mutually respecting
ways, can only benefit society. Sex is a deep expression of love. This
is what the right wing sex repressed is trying to withhold from the
world.
Preachers as Pacifiers
There are reports of FEMA plans to use Pastors as pacifiers in
preparation for Martial Law [16]. "A nationwide secretive initiative
trains volunteers to teach congregations to 'obey the government'
in emergencies during seizure of guns, property, forced inoculations
and possible forced relocation.
The FEMA directors told the Pastors that attended a meeting it was
their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in
anticipation of any of these eventualities. The first directive was for
Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13 in order to teach
them to "obey the government" when martial law is declared."
Romans 13 proclaims "Everyone must submit himself to the governing
authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has
established. Consequently, he who rebels against authority is rebelling
against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring
judgment upon themselves."
There is an urban myth which accuses Hitler of having used Romans 13 to
control the population of Christians in Germany. [17]
This is what Schaffer, heard over and over at BattleCry and inside
Christian circles when questioning Christians regarding their thoughts
about the policies of the Bush Administration "God instructs us to
trust in the government because all governments are put in power by
God." Questioning the government is akin to questioning God. So
don't. Period. End of discussion.
With the Bush Administration, the military gets a free ticket inside
the Fundamentalist Christian churches and events across the country.
Christian military men also hold many key posts in Bush Administration
governmental appointments. It's a, you scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours, kind of deal.
Another of Bush's appointments drawing criticisms is that of Paul
Bonicelli as deputy director of the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), which is in charge of all programs
to promote democracy and good governance overseas.
Bonicelli is Dean of academic affairs of Patrick Henry College in rural
Virginia. [18] William Fisher writes in "Bush's Newest Crusader"
"The motto for this tiny college is 'For Christ and Liberty.' It
requires that all of its 300 students sign a 10-part 'statement of
faith' declaring that they believe 'Jesus Christ, born of a virgin,
is God come in the flesh. Jesus Christ literally rose bodily from the
dead and that hell is a place where all who die outside of Christ shall
be confined in conscious torment for eternity.'"
Faculty members too, must sign a pledge stating they share a literalist
belief in the Bible. Many Patrick Henry students are chosen to serve as
interns working for White House political adviser Karl Rove, for the
White House Office of Public Liaison and for Republican members of the
House and Senate."
Fisher goes on to report "In 2002, Bush appointed Bonicelli, along
with former Vatican adviser John Klink and Janice Crouse of the
ultra-conservative Concerned Women for America, to an American
delegation attending a United Nations children's conference, where
they sought to promote biblical values in U.S. foreign policy. One can
only wonder how Muslims, the target audience for these USAID programs,
will react to the view that 'all who die outside of Christ shall be
confined in conscious torment for eternity.'"
No Child Left Behind really means No child left behind getting biblical
teaching and saved by Jesus
We know what the "No Child Left Behind" act is really about. It is
about making sure that all school children get a bible based
curriculum. Just like Tim LeHaye's bestselling "Left Behind" End
Times ideology book series proclaims, in order to be saved during
Revelation's Armageddon a person must proclaim they are a follower of
Christ. Just like in the crusades of old, the end times are thought to
be in the present.
No Child Left Behind's purpose is to systematically destroy public
schools. It was widely encouraged by the Christian conservatives so
that they can denounce secular public schools and bring back state
sponsored religious indoctrination in schools by allowing for vouchers
to be used by students at schools of the parents choosing.
Schaffer, as a parent of youth in school throughout the 1990s and
2000s, can tell you the kids are privy to the illegitimacy of the
standardized testing and do not give a rats ass about trying to do well
on it. Students are scoring false negative test scores and the public
schools are taking the rap thus paving the way for the justification of
vouchers.
Even if it was a legitimate way to test competence of school staff and
student ability, which it is not, it was designed purposely to make
public schools be scapegoated failures.
Bush and his ideologues are on a mission to bring American school
children to the ranks of the military through the religion of
Christianity and turn the military into a fighting apparatus for their
version of a literal biblical reality, both from inside the United
States and out into the world.
Radical nonviolent direct action intervention - a call to Nemisis
We believe as concerned citizens, it is our duty to intervene with
urgency.
The church mixed with State has robbed woman and humanity of a chance
of life free from violence from it's inception.
The etymology of "patriarchy" can be traced to the Greek patria,
meaning "fatherland." "Patriot" is rooted in the Greek patros,
meaning "loyal supporter of the fatherland." Essentially, a patriot
can be seen as one who defends a patriarchy, or, one who fights for the
survival of the fatherland.
Mary Daly writes in her long awaited guide to overcoming patriarchy,
Amazon Grace, that Mathilda Josyln Gage, writer of Woman, Church and
State, was effectively erased from suffragist history because she
wanted to take on the Church State.
In her magnum opus Woman, Church and State Gage writes "The most
stupendous system of organized robbery known has been that of the
church toward women. A robbery that has not only taken her self-respect
but all rights of person, the fruits of her own industry, her
opportunities of education, the exercise of their own judgment, her own
conscience, her own will."
Liberal Christians were complicit to silencing Gage's voice knowing
that they would have to overthrow their own spiritual beliefs to
denounce Christianity on the basis that it controls and dominates
women.
This is a disturbing trend that can be witnessed inside the peace
movement. Persons who want to tame the military, don't like the way
we are using it; but won't flat out denounce its systemic
illegitimacy are legion. Not to name names; but, mostly the Progressive
Democrat type of mindset does this.
Or others, who don't want to stand in the way of freedom of religion
and who are not willing to confront the church's complicity directly
claiming protection of freedom of religion. When protesting the
BattleCry rallies on the steps of San Francisco's city hall, some of
the activists wanted to "break bread" with the Fundamentalists
instead of openly and unapologetically protesting them.
Others say, your authors included, freedom of religion does not mean
freedom to advocate supremacy and hatred. These must be, without
hesitation, adamantly denounced.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton has a quote that is pertinent which is found in
Mary Daly's "Beyond God the Father". "Take the snake, the fruit
tree and the woman from the tableau, and we have no fall, nor frowning
judge, no Inferno, no everlasting punishment - hence no need of a
Savior. Thus the bottom falls out of the whole Christian theology. Here
is the reason why in all the Biblical researches and higher criticisms,
the scholars never touch the position of women."
Mary Daly's groundbreaking work of Amazon Grace is a call to Nemisis,
as redefined by her 1: Virtue beyond justice, acquired by Inspired Acts
of Righteous Fury; Virtue enabling Seers to unblindfold captive Justice
1: participation in the powers of the Goddess Nemesis; Elemental
disruption of the patriarchal balance of terror; Passionate
Spinning/Spiraling of Archaic threads of Gynergy (female energy)."
Schaffer interprets this as a reallocation of the forces of energy
which are now geared in the direction of patriarchal authoritarianism
to the shifting of those gears radically toward egalitarian feminism
which cares for and nurtures life to harmony.
Once the warmongers realize we are on to them they are likely to
despoil us in order to control us [18], like they have done in the
Middle East. Despoiling is a Machaiavellian tactic which renders the
object to be controlled destabalized by inducing sufficient suffering
to render them unable to act in resistance.
This is why we must take this current widespread religious popularity
trend down, not from the outside, but from the inside, where we can
confront them directly and win over communities of right wing co-opted
people can have impetus to change from within. The warmongering right
wing leaders won't see the resistance coming because they have been
focusing on outward assault instead. We may then have a slight chance
of redeeming these seemingly irreversible trends.
Therefore, we must go inside the churches and military camps with a
dire call for the divorce of organized religion and the military state.
We say we must rid society of the myth that the patriarchal and
misogynistic religious/military culture which is destroying all of
nature, is in any way normal or beneficial.
We must demand immediate and radical disarmament in exchange for
tremendous expenditures on a global scale of pure, unadulterated and
extensive humanitarian aid for the suffering and dying earth and its
people. Nothing short of this makes any sense.
