If you haven’t noticed, the pace seems to be picking up…the totalitarian tip-toe is becoming more of a jog. Are the key players (Gates, Fauci, Soros, etc.) getting nervous and doing what they can to keep the people fearful-more variants, more jabs, more lockdowns, etc. or are they still working the plan?

The US military seems to be hellbent on getting rid of those that wish to claim some of the benefits of freedom they thought they had volunteered to preserve. They thought the rights they were fighting for also belonged to them. NOPE. So far as the “news” is reporting, 0 (zero, nada, zilch) religious exemptions have been granted to any military personnel that has invoked their sincerely held religious beliefs, stating that the jab/mask/testing is not something with which they can, in good conscience, participate.

You may wonder, “How is this possible?” How can it be that mere humans can see into the heart of an individual and tell whether or not they are sincere in their beliefs or just want to be in charge of their own bodies, regardless of religion? Who, in the Department of Defense is so spiritual they know the hearts and minds of men (The Shadow, maybe? The introductory line from the radio adaptation of The Shadow – “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” – spoken by actor Frank Readick)?

And, if religious beliefs are no longer tolerated within the military, what in the world are chaplains doing – they apparently have no function. Are they being purged as well, or are they “yes” men/women just going along, “following orders”?

In an interview with Colonel MacGregor (Ret), the spokesperson (play the video, the transcript does not go with the video) for the Department of Defense states that religion is a cornerstone of the military and one of the values important to and supported within the organization. Of course, the spokesperson didn’t say the military would honor any religious exemptions, but that members CAN submit a request for exemption if they choose.

In actuality, one does not apply for a religious exemption, one invokes it. Anyone can invoke a religious exemption based on a sincerely held religious belief or beliefs. According to the federal equal employment opportunity commission and based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employer has to grant a religious exemption unless there are situations that cause the employer to question the sincerity of the individual. It is a normal thing for religious exemptions to be granted.

So, the issue is, in truth, whether or not the individual can get an accommodation from the employer. Again, within the Civil Rights Act, Title VII, states that an employer must accommodate the employee unless the accommodations would be too costly to provide.

To understand how simple the process is supposed to be, here is the form the EEOC uses for its employees. Notice the lack of questions and the construct of the form…to reach an accommodation, not crucify the employee for having the fortitude to invoke such a right.

Now, contrast that with the form the Department of Defense created for its employees. You can see that this form is not created to grant anything but is to entrap and confuse the issue. It does not drive for accommodation, as the EEOC shows it must, it drives to trap the employee, to give an excuse to question their sincerely held religious beliefs. I believe this is one reason why none have been approved. NOTE: in this form, when completing it online, if 3e is checked, the form will not let you sign it until you answer also either 3b or 3d. If you answer 3b or 3d you must also answer information on the second page. Logically, if the second page is blank, the question of selecting 3b or 3d is obvious and therefore redundant. Again, a trap?

Maybe it is really in the best interest of those being denied accommodation for their faith. The US military has not truly won a conflict since WWII (nor has it followed the US Constitution concerning how to wage war). In fact, according to MG Smedley Butler, USMC, Ret, the US military has not been a force for good (or the American people, for that matter) since before the 20th century (War is a Racket) MG Butler earned two Medals of Honor.

It seems our country lost its way, turning to socialism before the beginning of WWI, with the advent of the income tax, the federal reserve, and the popular voting for senators (all leading up to socialism). Woodrow Wilson’s call to arms after campaigning to not enter WWI, said the US was going to war to “Make the world safe for democracy”. As you have seen in “War is a Racket”, the military has been and continues to be used as muscle for international corporations and not in the interest of the American people.

Of course, this is just one of the employers who are discriminating against their employees. In New York, healthcare workers attempted to receive religious accommodations but were rebuffed – not only by their employers and New York State but also by the Supreme Court. These are the same people who were hailed as heroes last year, being thrown under the bus now. (No good deed goes unpunished.) I have not heard if these healthcare workers have brought suit using an EEOC complaint under Title VII.

What happens when vast numbers of people are denied their ability to earn a living? What else is there to lose when one can no longer support one’s family or provide for oneself?

If you have not yet been affected by the mandates/fines/lockdowns/bullying, don’t feel left out. Your turn is coming. If you think you will escape the purges that are coming – the infinite number of “boosters” in order to remain “fully vaccinated” – you are deluded.

In the words of Nancy Reagan, “Just say NO”. Following the dictates of morons only makes the follower a moron as well. Everything from masks, to jabs, to quarantines, to lockdowns have been shown to be moronic (the anagram for Omicron). None of those things do what the morons in power say they do and it is painfully obvious to anyone willing to step back and take a look. There is so much information available that, even with censorship, it can still be found.

When will the madness end? It will end when those with nothing left to lose and those that have the self-respect not to follow morons into their folly stop complying. Don’t back down and don’t give in. Our numbers are growing. Be strong. Make America the land of the free and home of the brave once again!

“Fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… our freedom!” – Mel Gibson as William Wallace in the movie “Braveheart”
