Soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
A soldier who attended the Oct. 17th briefing told me the counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”
Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.
“The American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our troops that evangelical Christians and Tea Party members are enemies of America, and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in those groups,” said Berry, a former Marine Corps JAG officer.
“These statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge.”
The soldier told me he fears reprisals and asked not to be identified. He said there was a blanket statement that donating to any groups that were considered a threat to the military and government was punishable under military regulations.
“My first concern was if I was going to be in trouble going to church,” the evangelical Christian soldier told me. “Can I tithe? Can I donate to Christian charities? What if I donate to a politician who is a part of the Tea Party movement?”
Another soldier who attended the briefing alerted the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. That individual’s recollections of the briefing matched the soldier who reached out to me.

Just the beginning. They are preparing the military to turn against the citizens of this country. To open fire on civilians if so ordered.
No truer statement. The Syrian government will look benevolent compared to what our Marxist overlords are capable of.
I can tell you for sure , most soldiers do not buy the bullshit whatsoever ,and few CO’s will enforce any such BS edicts
Now your statement would have me thinking kook if I read that five years ago, but now?
We have a break down of the country it seems by the President by design. I hear he is retiring all the good commanders and if the economy and welfare goes south you figure the military will come in to enforce Marshall law when eventually many citizens riot.
This is also the reason IMO for the war on an armed citizen population.
Like I said, this would in the past be situation where I would read this and say the person needs a tin foiled hat, but now? Too much has gone down the road my friend and in many ways I have to agree with you.
It has been since the beginning.
Some one once said that those that give up liberty for security will get neither.
Some one else once said that those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I was talking to 4 MARINES today... they pledged to stand with Americans so I agree with you. They said that everyone knew what was going on. The left’s plans will fail worse than obamacare has.
An army full of homos would certainly consider the TEA party a threat
And now you know why Dems are so anxious to let gays into everything
and few CO’s will enforce any such BS edicts
And they are being/will be replaced.
Don’t need an army full of gays. Just need proper brainwashing. And brainwashing today is far more effective than the Nazis or Stalin could have ever imagined.
So, the US Army now has “political officers,” just like in the Soviet Union?
Obama is moving into the same league as Hitler and Stalin.
I hope you are right, but I can picture an ‘elite’ platoon of all gay being sent to take guns from a whole town.
They gladly confiscate guns from TEA party people
They get promoted up the ranks.
Soon they form the goon squad protecting their dear leader, Obama.
He might even give them snazzy black uniforms.
And these people would descend upon Obamas enemies like a storm... sorta like storm troopers. And lickspittle who may not be gay but are sympathetic go along to get along.
Soon the regular troops fear these storm troopers
Think this is far- fetched? The generals are all being purged already.
Along with other officers who expressed that they would NOT fire on us citizens. (why is that question even being asked????)
I tell ya , we are SO LUCKY to have these young men and women .THEY will not let us down , regardless of which of their brown-nosing career oriented minority of higher try to affect . The JAGs do not run the show , even if they’d like to think so .
That’s good to hear. Thanks for sharing.
And brainwashing today is far more effective than the Nazis or Stalin could have ever imagined.
You’re exactly right.
Most Progressives saw absolutely nothing wrong with the IRS targeting the Tea Party groups and other conservatives. They are good little Useful Idiots and Dupes. They are the enemy.
It’s becoming more and more obvious that Zero is the Manchurian Candidate bent on the destruction of the US.
“I can tell you for sure , most soldiers do not buy the bullshit whatsoever ,and few CO’s will enforce any such BS edicts”
Every dog can be trained to attack babies. Our military will attack and kill us with relish, then they will get a treat from the hand of their master. “You do our bidding, and we will feed your family.”
Things are bad but far from that bad. The American psyche, which includes the Military and it’s families, is not prepared to accept that sort of thing. To hasten the betrayal would surely be to our advantage.
