Paul Joseph Watson, Secret FEMA Plan To Use Pastors as Pacifiers in Preparation For Martial Law, May 24 2006: “A Pastor has come forward to blow the whistle on 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 a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation. [...] The FEMA directors told the Pastors that attended that it was their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in anticipation of any of these eventualities. 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.”

Jeff Ferrell, Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared, Aug 23, 2007: “If martial law were enacted here at home, like depicted in the movie “The Siege”, easing public fears and quelling dissent would be critical. And that’s exactly what the ‘Clergy Response Team’ helped accomplish in the wake of Katrina. 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.’”

[Is it true that Hitler hoodwinked Christians into supporting him with an often-taken out of context bible passage that was used in order to teach them to obey the government when martial law was declared? Or is it the case that Hitler was a life-long Christian and that Nazi Germany was from stem to stern a Christian theocracy? What is the proper context for Romans 13? Give it a read in any translation you care to use and see if it doesn't clearly state that the powers that be are ordained by God for us to submit to without rebellion or complaint. Should United States clergy go along with martial law they will be doing God's work. I, meanwhile, advocate the withering away of religion through reason and scorn. - Trevor Blake]
