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 a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency.



The first directive was for Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13, the often taken out of context bible passage that was used by Hitler to hoodwink Christians into supporting him, in order to teach them to "obey the government" when martial law is declared.

It was related to the Pastors that quarantines, martial law and forced relocation were a problem for state authorities when enforcing federal mandates due to the "cowboy mentality" of citizens standing up for their property and second amendment rights as well as farmers defending their crops and livestock from seizure.

It was stressed that the Pastors needed to preach subservience to the authorities ahead of time in preparation for the round-ups and to make it clear to the congregation that "this is for their own good."

Pastors were told that they would be backed up by law enforcement in controlling uncooperative individuals and that they would even lead SWAT teams in attempting to quell resistance.

Though some doubted the accuracy of this report at the time due to its fundamentally disturbing implications, the story has now been confirmed by a KSLA 12 news report , in which participating clergy and officials admit to the existence of the program.



The report entertains the scenario of martial law as depicted in the movie The Siege and states that "quelling dissent would be critical."

Dr. Durell Tuberville serves as chaplain for the Shreveport Fire Department and the Caddo Sheriff's Office. Tuberville said of the clergy team's mission, "the primary thing that we say to anybody is, 'let's cooperate and get this thing over with and then we'll settle the differences once the crisis is over.'"

Such clergy response teams would walk a tight-rope during martial law between the demands of the government on the one side, versus the wishes of the public on the other. "In a lot of cases, these clergy would already be known in the neighborhoods in which they're helping to diffuse that situation," assured Sandy Davis. He serves as the director of the Caddo-Bossier Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm the public down or to obey the law is the bible itself, specifically Romans 13. Dr. Tuberville elaborated, "because the government's established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture."


So there you have it - Homeland Security are working with local police departments and religious leaders to prepare for the declaration of martial law and in particular developing techniques they will employ during the crisis to "quell dissent."

Phony Christian leaders are brainwashing their congregations to accept the premise that the totalitarian police state is "of the Lord" and that they should get on their knees and lick jackboots while the round-ups take place as citizens are processed into quarantine zones and detention camps by the National Guard and U.S. troops returning from Iraq.

The precedent for mass gun confiscation and martial law in times of a real or manufactured emergency was set during Hurricane Katrina, when police and National Guard patrols forced home owners - even in areas unaffected by the hurricane - to hand over their legally owned firearms at gunpoint .

This is a clear precursor for the imminent declaration of a state of emergency, a scenario that President Bush codified in his recent Presidential Decision Directive of May 9th , which states in the event of a "catastrophic event" the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.

The scope of the program is so secretive that even Homeland Security Committee member and Congressman Peter DeFazio was denied access to view the classified portion of the documents.

Oh yeah, listen to your ministers. Believe in the neocon government and walk in an orderly procession to your doom, while the Great Beast of Revelations gets drunk on the blood of Christian martyrs.

I really don't get members of organized Christianity who support Bush. He violates just about every one of Jesus's covenants by wanting to wage war, murder, torture, steal from the poor and give to the rich, etc, and they still believe in him. The Bible warns of the coming of many false messiahs and warns Christians to judge them by their actions not their words. You would think Christians would be the first march on Washington for impeachment.

I guess St. John looked around and saw a whole lot of stupid people who would go on to breed more stupid people, no matter what Jesus warned them, so the prophesies of Revelation seemed inevitable.

Clergy have been teaching the "faithful" to obey the king & queen for centuries.

"mass vaccination programs"?

"One World ID"?

There is no rational reason to oppose "global unity" and support the status quo of constant warfare and atrocities on every continent. We should be so lucky as to be "threatened" by the United Nations or any other supposed "world government." This is a strange mixture of legitimate grievances with the established warmongering nationalist system in the United States and fundamentalist Christian paranoia.

let's not mix anti-commi propaganda with the capitalistic nightmare we are facing please. a minuscule grasp on history is all i ask.

This is a real problem.
My older brother, who was cool during the Vietnam war and managed to disobey every order given to him relating to combat training until he got a honorable discharge and became just a normal weirdo muddeling up his life as all of us do until he acquired religion.
This guy still defends Bush and is hooked worse than any drug, on church dogma. I would worry about him turning me in. It's that bad. Beware of the reborn.

A miniscule grasp on history is all you have, Max. I suspect you are relying on the History 101 version of events, according to which the Bolsheviks (Baal-sheviks) were kind revolutionaries who were tired of Nicolas II's support for a war in which, through two disasterous campaigns (Tannenborg and Masurian Lakes) led by two Russian generals (I'll leave their religio-racial identity out of this) managed to destroy one million of Russia's most experienced soldiers in a dazzling display of military stupidity, and the Bolsheviks decided to overthrow the first Revolution (the Democratic Korensky government to which the Tzar peacefully abdicated) with the Bolshevik Revolution later in 1917.

Interestingly enough, it was the great International Banking concerns of the time that didn't want to see the February Revolution of Korensky succeed and decided to sneak Lenin and Trotsky and other Bolshevist Revolutionaries (who had been in exile and supported by the same bankers) into Russia to disrupt that. Look at where the money for the post-Bolshevik industrialization came from. Hint--lower Manhattan, Zurich, Hamburg, and London. Want to debate history? Really? I'll match you footnote and reference all the way and win. Sorry, but your government-approved education of history isn't enough.
