Soldier Punished by Homosexual Activists for Acknowledging the Law ..................................................................... American Clarion ^ \| June 6, 2013 \| Bob Ellis We told you religious (as well as other types of freedom) would bite the bullet in the military once our Leftist congress and president forced open homosexuality on our armed forces. It seems a recently promoted master sergeant has been reprimanded and punished for recognizing the law and serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at his promotion party. From the Washington Times: The unnamed soldier was promoted to master sergeant about that time and decided to hold a double-themed party, Fox News reported. His invitation stated: “In honor of my promotion and in honor of the Defense of Marriage Act, I’m serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at my promotion party.” Backlash from military officials was swift. He received a letter of reprimand for combining his promotion with the pro-DOMA theme, was threatened with legal action, and was rated poorly on his latest efficiency report, according to Fox News. He has turned to Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty for assistance. “They say he is no longer a team player and was not performing up to standards,” Chaplain Alliance executive director Ron Crews said. “This is just one little example of a case of a soldier just wanting to express his views and now he’s been jumped on by the military.” Though the Democrat congress and president rewrote the law to force the military to submit to allowing this behavior in the ranks, the law of the land with regard to marriage still recognizes that marriage can only be created between a man and a woman. So these fascists are punishing this master sergeant for acknowledging the law. Not surprising, unfortunately, since these activists within our Defense Department have already been busy giving the middle finger to the law. More from the Fox News story which was referenced in the Washington Times article: After the party, the solider received a letter of reprimand. Crews said at issue was the combination of the sandwiches and the soldier’s support of DOMA (which happens to be the law of the land). “There was initially some talk of bringing judicial punishment against him,” Crews said. “He had a letter put in his file and an investigation was initiated to see if he had violated any policy.” The solider reached out to the Chaplain Alliance for help and they put him in touch with an attorney. Crews said nearly one year later – the soldier is still embroiled in a legal battle. “He was at the pinnacle of his career,” Crews said. “To make that rank means you’ve done very well throughout your career. He wants to finish serving his time honorably.” Crews said stories like this are becoming commonplace in the military post-repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. “These stories are the ones that have not been told – about some of the more subtle ramifications of the repeal of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy,” he said. One service member received a severe reprimand for expressing his faith’s religious position about homosexuality in a personal religious blog. A chaplain was relieved of his command over a military chapel because he could not allow same-sex weddings to take place in the chapel. And a chaplain who asked senior military officers whether religious liberty would be protected in the wake of the repeal of the law against open homosexual behavior in the military was told to “get in line” or resign. “I told you so” just doesn’t seem to do justice to the travesty we are now seeing. The “tolerant” Left will not tolerate the slightest personal deviation from their Orwellian campaign to redefine morality, normality, sexuality, marriage, and anything that differs from their self-centered view. Anyone who has ever served in the military knew this would be the outcome. Even many who have never served could have figured that out. Mission effectiveness be damned. The welfare of the troops be damned. Religious (and speech) freedom be damned. And now those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and freedom around the world are being forced to suffer even more…on the altar of an immoral, unnatural and dangerous political agenda. And the cost of putting political correctness ahead of military effectiveness and what is right is likely to continue to rise…

German report: Berlin a hub of Hezbollah activity ................................................................................................ By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT 06/09/2013 jpost.com Currently 950 members living in Germany, 250 in the capital. Lebanon's Hezbollah militants chant slogans Photo: REUTERS/Sharif Karim BERLIN – Hezbollah has 950 members in Germany, including 250 in the capital, a reported released by Berlin’s domestic intelligence agency released last week showed. A Hezbollah-controlled orphans organization in Lower Saxony state is used to raise money for the families of suicide bombers targeting Israelis, the 140-page German-language report examined by The Jerusalem Post also showed. The Lebanese terrorist organization had some 900 members in the Federal Republic in 2010, and 950 in 2011, around the same number it has now. Dr. Wahied Wahdat-Hagh, a leading European expert on the Iranian regime and Hezbollah terrorism, told the Post on Saturday it had long been known that Berlin was “a strong center of Hezbollah.” Many Shi’ites fled the Lebanese civil war in 1982 and relocated to Germany, he said. Berlin became a magnet for Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese refugees. “It is no surprise that Berlin hosts the annual al-Quds Day march,” Wahdat- Hagh said. The al-Quds demonstration has been an annual event in Berlin since 1996 and advocates the destruction of the Jewish state. More than 1,000 supporters of Iran and Hezbollah turned out for the march last year. According to the Berlin Agency for the Protection of the Constitution, the agency responsible for security in the capital and which published the report, “The supporters of Hezbollah in Germany behave in a largely inconspicuous way. One distinguishable role is played by the Orphans Project Lebanon [Waisenkinderprojekt Libanon e.V] in Göttingen and supports the survivors of fighters against Israel.” In a 2009 study of Orphans Project Lebanon, Alexander Ritzmann, a political analyst and senior fellow with the European Foundation for Democracy in Brussels, revealed that the charity is “the German branch of a Hezbollah suborganization” that “promotes suicide bombings” and aims to destroy Israel. The Federal Republic allows the Waisenkinderprojekt Libanon e.V. to operate and raise funds, but eliminated its tax exemption several years ago. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Israel’s security interests are integral to those of the Federal Republic, but has refused since 2005 to close down Hezbollah’s Orphan’s Project in Lower Saxony. Though Germany banned reception of Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television station in hotels in 2008, it is available in homes. France pulled the plug on Al-Manar reception in 2004 because of lethal anti-Semitic propaganda and the dissemination of hatred contradicting French values. The United States outlawed the reception of Al- Manar. Germany, France and the UK favor a ban of Hezbollah’s military wing. Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Italy and Sweden have raised objections to including Hezbollah’s military apparatus in the EU terror list. Wahdat-Hagh said that in Germany, people fear that Hezbollah will wage war against Germany and not Israel. As a result, they have been wary about banning Hezbollah, he said.
