A MUST READ . . . . j
Subject: Fwd: Military OrganizesIf you are not interested in this message, simply delete it, If you
are not a veteran please send this to those that you know who are, or to
those who may know veterans.(The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4,
2014. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United
States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United
States Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and
VOTE!!!!)A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in
2014.. They are organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of
us.The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of
Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before
they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop
our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training,
either.Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs
International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to
arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections
guaranteed under US Law, and from which there is no appeal.The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all
the power. If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives,
can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be
protected from unnecessary danger. Please consider this, and send it
on to your mailing lists. Thank YouInterestingly enough, when GWB was president you heard about the
military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in
the White House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. ---
More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan
in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the
nine years before. Thirty have died in August. During the last month,
over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside
jobs by those who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan .
The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the
White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed.
There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military
against the indifferent incompetence of this president.
It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him,
but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end
in sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 4 years to end this
futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed,
campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in
uniform. But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to
launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president.
Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves,
the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small
special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an
enormous impact on the outcome of the November election if they all
respond.
The one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an
overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls.
It might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between
now and November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this
heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that
hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who
just lets our soldiers die.Veterans: Please forward to your lists. High Priority!

Friends, I can think of a few ways to get Media's ATTENTION, so they DO give proper coverage to the THOUSANDS of innocent Christians being persecuted, tortured. raped, robbed, churches burned, and murdered, EVERY DAY !!! But.... some of them are not legal.... sorry. And then, too many 'talking heads' love to spread dis-information about Bloggers, who are still, relatively free to tell the truth about the great persecution of Christians, but they will eventually be exposed and dealt with too. But God has a special place for those who are martyred while holding true to the name of Christian, as they will receive a special crown of glory. For what ever His reasons, the Lord 'allows' some of His true servants to suffer and die in the Faith --- so the devil cannot ever say that God's servants/ Christ's Followers are not real men and women, and only serve the Master for what tangible objects on Earth that they receive !! We Christians KNOW the end account ! We Win ---the ungodly Loose!

Why the Media Doesn’t Cover Islamic Jihadist Attacks on Middle East Christians

Why the Media Doesn’t Cover Jihadist Attacks on Middle East Christians
By Raymond Ibrahim Via The BlazeThe Blaze
The United Nations, Western governments, media, universities, and talking heads everywhere insist that Palestinians are suffering tremendous abuses from the state of Israel.
Conversely, the greatest human rights tragedy of our time—radical Muslim persecution of Christians, including in Palestinian controlled areas—is devotedly ignored.
The facts speak for themselves. Reliable estimates indicate that anywhere from 100-200 million Christians are persecuted every year; one Christian is martyred every five minutes. Approximately 85 percent of this persecution occurs in Muslim majority nations. In 1900, 20 percent of the Middle East was Christian. Today, less than 2 percent is.
In one week in Egypt alone, where my Christian family emigrated, the Muslim Brotherhood launched akristallnacht—attacking, destroying, and/or torching some 82 Christian churches (some of which were built in the fifth century, when Egypt was still a Christian-majority nation before the Islamic conquests). Al Qaeda’s black flag has been raised atop churches. Christians—including priests, women and children—have been attacked, beheaded, and killed.
Nor is such persecution of Christians limited to Egypt. From Morocco in the west to Indonesia in the east and from Central Asia to the north to sub-Saharan Africa to the south; across thousands of miles of lands inhabited by peoples who do not share the same races, languages, cultures, and/or socio-economic conditions, millions of Christians are being persecuted and in the same exact patterns.
Muslim converts to Christianity and Christian evangelists are attacked, imprisoned, and sometimes beheaded; countless churches across the Islamic world are being banned or bombed; Christian women and children are being abducted, enslaved, raped, and/or forced to renounce their faith.
Far from helping these Christian victims, U.S. policies are actually exacerbating their sufferings. Whether in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, or Syria, and under the guise of the U.S.-supported “Arab Spring,” things have gotten dramatically worse for Christians.
Indeed, during a recent U.S. congressional hearing, it was revealed that thousands of traumatized Syrian Christians—who, like Iraqi Christians before them are undergoing a mass exodus from their homeland—were asking “Why is America at war with us?”
The answer is that very few Americans have any clue concerning what is happening to their coreligionists.
Few mainstream media speak about the horrific persecution millions of people are experiencing simply because they wish to worship Christ in peace.
There, is of course, a very important reason why the mainstream media ignores radical Muslim persecution of Christians: if the full magnitude of this phenomenon was ever know, many cornerstones of the mainstream media—most prominent among them, that Israel is oppressive to Palestinians—would immediately crumble.
Why? Because radical Muslim persecution of Christians throws a wrench in the media’s otherwise well-oiled narrative that “radical-Muslim-violence-is-a-product-of-Muslim-grievance”—chief among them Israel.
Consider it this way: because the Jewish state is stronger than its Muslim neighbors, the media can easily portray Islamic terrorists as frustrated “underdogs” doing whatever they can to achieve “justice.” No matter how many rockets are shot into Tel Aviv by Hamas and Hezbollah, and no matter how anti-Israeli bloodlust is articulated in radical Islamic terms, the media will present such hostility as ironclad proof that Palestinians under Israel are so oppressed that they have no choice but to resort to terrorism.
However, if radical Muslims get a free pass when their violence is directed against those stronger than them, how does one rationalize away their violence when it is directed against those weaker than them—in this case, millions of indigenous Christians?
The media simply cannot portray radical Muslim persecution of Christians—which in essence and form amount to unprovoked pogroms—as a “land dispute” or a product of “grievance” (if anything, it is the ostracized and persecuted Christian minorities who should have grievances). And because the media cannot articulate radical Islamic attacks on Christians through the “grievance” paradigm that works so well in explaining the Arab-Israeli conflict, their main recourse is not to report on them at all.
In short, Christian persecution is the clearest reflection of radical Islamic supremacism. Vastly outnumbered and politically marginalized Christians simply wish to worship in peace, and yet stillare they hounded and attacked, their churches burned and destroyed, their women and children enslaved and raped. These Christians are often identical to their Muslim co-citizens, in race, ethnicity, national identity, culture, and language; there is no political dispute, no land dispute.
The only problem is that they are Christian and so, Islamists believe according to their scriptural exegesis, must be subjugated.
If mainstream media were to report honestly on Christian persecution at the hands of radical Islamists so many bedrocks of the leftist narrative currently dominating political discourse would crumble, first and foremost, the idea that radical Islamic intolerance is a product of “grievances,”and that Israel is responsible for all Jihadist terrorism against it.
