Suppression of Religious Freedom in Obama’s Military
One of the driving forces of a return to the military draft is Obama’s hostility to religious freedom. The military is the incubator of social experiments, many of which go against the teachings of most major religions. The increasing incidence of rape in the armed forces, some of which is male on male, indicates the pathology of leftist social policy. The speech and freedom of conscience of those who do not agree with these kinds of behaviors is being suppressed. Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel has not shown a tolerance for the freedom of religious expression in the military, and apparently Mikey Weinstein of the “Military Religious Freedom Foundation” has his ear. Weinstein’s agenda involves anything but religious freedom, with his least favorite denominations being the evangelical Christians.
A major reason for women to avoid service in the Obama military is the threat of rape by fellow military personnel. Another reason is the pressure to abort in the event of pregnancy. A third is the disrespect for the right of conscience.
Likewise, men who enter Obama’s very weird military are under similar threats minus the adverse effects that pregnancy could have on their careers.
Currently on tap is an expected Veto from Obama of the Military Defense Authorization Act of 2014, if it contains the amendment by Rep. John Fleming, protecting religious speech of service members.

Edward Snowden Shines Light on NSA Snooping, then Drops out of Sight
Edward Snowden, the whistle blower who allowed us to know how extensively the National Security Administration has encroached on our privacy, has disappeared from sight, shortly after allowing his identity to be made public.
Snowden provided information on the process, but not the content or details of NSA snooping on all internet communications via a program called Prism. All of the major internet service providers have signed on to this program, which allows the NSA access to the information on their servers, without a warrant.
Snowden had fled to Hong Kong, in the hope that its vague extradition laws (presently in a state of flux) will allow him to avoid being sent back to the U.S. Russia has indicated a possible willingness to grant political asylum to the whistle-blower, according to their newspaper, Kommersant.
The UK Guardian is the main media purveyor of Snowden’s information to the public, though the Washington Post published part of an NSA power point presentation which he provided on the topic.
James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, is predictably wanting the head of Edward Snowden. Others, such as former Representative Ron Paul, say: “We should be thankful for individuals like Edward Snowden”.
Pharmer is leaning more towards Ron Paul’s opinion, as the executive agencies of government are being used as tools for administrative vengeance on those who disagree with the party line.
Glen Greenwald, Guardian reporter on the Snowden story assures us that more revelations are yet to come.
Among pro-lifers, the question in the air is: Without a right to Privacy, what happens to the main argument for the legalization of abortion?

Non-news: Obama Administration Complies with Judge Lifting Restriction on Plan B Sales
The Obama administration will, as expected, comply with Judge Edward Korman’s order to allow all underage girls, and their rapists to purchase Plan B without restrictions.
The latest news incorrectly states that “If a girl or woman already is pregnant, the pill, which prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg, has no effect.”
Obama’s Big Ears Are Listening to You
William Binney, who worked for the National Security Agency for 40 years, quit after 911 had moved his employer to what he felt was excessive snooping on American citizens. He believes that all phone companies, and not just Verizon are involved in turning over records of calls to the NSA.
The surprise to many of those reporting on this issue of monitoring phone data is that it has continued and has drastically increased since Bush left office.
An internet surveillance program called PRISM, started in 2007 under Bush, and has also massively increased during the reign of Obama. A report by another whistle blower reveals that internet giants Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Pal Talk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple are submitting to government snooping into the private data of their users. Apple is said not to have joined this effort until 2012, after Steve Jobs had died. Perhaps this was part of the reason for the government attacks on the company. Microsoft was purportedly the first company to jump on board with the program.
The threat of lawsuits and “regulation” from the government has been enough to secure compliance from the companies.
Spokesmen from these companies continue to deny knowledge of government access to their databases.
It is interesting to watch some of the leftie media outlets responding to the idea that the government has been monitoring their private communications and internet activities, and that the Obama administration appears to have vastly increased the scope of the snooping. This appears to have really gotten their attention.
Demand A Funeral For Gosnell’s Victims
Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist, was convicted of murdering live born babies. Since that time, pro-life groups have requested that the babies, found at his clinic, be buried like any other deceased humans. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner has refused a request by Fr. Frank Pavone to allow him to provide burial services for the murder victims.
Today there is a pro-life tweetfest, to encourage the medical examiner to change his mind. This very well might happen if enough people find out about the issue. Tweet your requests for funeral services for the babies using hashtag #Gosnellbabies. Please pass it on.
Bishop Earl Walker Jackson fires up Election Race in Virginia
Ken Cuccinelli now has the fiery minister E.W. Jackson as a running mate in his race for the governor of Virginia. Bishop Jackson is a lawyer, businessman, and clergyman who is absolutely unafraid to advance his conservative principles. His unapologetic presentation on a wide range of social, economic and governmental issues is causing the left to do what it always does, accuse him of extremism and bigotry. What has them so worked up? Jackson has taken measure of what Planned Parenthood has been doing to the Black community, and has compared the abortion giant’s death dealing to that of the Ku Klux Klan.
Rev. Jackson was raised as a democrat, and like so many other congenital conservatives, had to leave the party as it devolved into its current (leftist, statist) form.
If you admire the sort of principled conservative who refuses to walk back any of his statements whenever the media whines, get behind E.W. Jackson, as he runs for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.
