RE: WBC & FRED PHELPS - The Military's View...

(THREAT TO MILITARY FUNERALS)// REF/A/MSG/CMC/051956Z JUL 05//REF A IS HQ USNORTHCOM FORCE PROTECTION (FP) ADVISORY MESSAGE 05-180 (THREAT TO MILITARY FUNERALS)// RMKS/

1. REQUEST WIDEST DISSEMINATION POSSIBLE TO ALL COMMANDS, UNITS AND PERSONNEL. ENSURE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FOR ALL DOD PERSONNEL PARTICIPATING IN OR ATTENDING FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MILITARY MEMBERS.

2. USNORTHCOM IS TRANSMITTING THIS FP ADVISORY BASED ON RECENT REPORTS OF PROTEST GROUP ACTIVITIES TO PICKET MILITARY FUNERALS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

2.A. A GROUP FROM WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH (WBC) LOCATED IN TOPEKA, KANSAS HAS PROTESTED OR IS PLANNING TO PICKET AND PROTEST AT PUBLIC FUNERALS OF PERSONNEL KILLED IN THE WAR ON TERRORISM. THIS GROUP HAS REPORTEDLY ANNOUNCED VIA THEIR WEBSITE THAT THEY INTEND TO PROTEST FUNERALS IN ALABAMA, CALIFORNIA, DELAWARE, IOWA, IDAHO, ILLINOIS, KANSAS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, AND WEST VIRGINIA.

2.B. THERE IS NO INFORMATION TO INDICATE THAT THIS GROUP PLANS ANY FORM OF VIOLENT ACTIVITY AND THEY ARE NOT KNOWN TO INITIATE PHYSICAL CONTACT. HOWEVER, THIS GROUP DOES EMPLOY PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE TECHNIQUES INTENDED TO PROVOKE A HOSTILE RESPONSE OR OFFENSIVE REACTION FROM OTHERS. THEY WILL EMPLOY WRITTEN AND VERBAL INFLAMMATORY LANGUAGE AGAINST THE DECEASED PERSON, THEIR FAMILY, AND MILITARY PERSONNEL TO ELICIT DESIRED RESPONSES. THIS GROUP WILL THEN FILE A CIVIL ACTION IN AN EFFORT TO REACH A SETTLEMENT IN ORDER TO FUND FUTURE ACTIVITIES.

3. SERVICES AND MILITARY UNITS PERFORMING AND SUPPORTING PUBLIC ACCESSIBLE FUNERAL DETAILS SHOULD:

3.A. ENSURE LOCAL AREA THREAT ASSESSMENTS CONSIDER THIS AS A POTENTIAL THREAT.

Please spread the word...
Let's show our support!

[LibertyRocks]

I've started a new thread solely for the 9/11 events in DC



[BTW - Resource Link for post goes to the America Supports You site - it is not associated with WBC (unlike the link title suggests).]

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Let's show our support PING!

[Soaring Feather]

bumping up the support.

[bmwcyle]

Let's also get out to Walter Reed on Fridays. We need everyone's help.

[LibertyRocks]

Hi bmwcycle & everyone else,

Thanks for your help spreading the word!

I've got the walter reed threads listed on my profile page. I've got a big list there with links to planning threads for everything I know about. Be sure to check it out and let me know of anything else that's not on the list already.

[SERE_DOC]

I would love to show up, and I will be there in spirit. Regretfully I am just abit far to attend.

Thanks to all who respect the troops and this country.

Semper Fi!
Sere Doc

[RaceBannon]

bumps and bttts and tonks....

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[tongue-tied]

Thanks for the ping. This really chaps my crack! Unfortunately, we can't show up in uniform and spit on them. But then again, I wouldn't do that anyway. Stooping to their level and all of that...

Anyone who attends, give them a smile and a how-ya-doin for ol' T-T stuck in CA, please. And no spitting.

[tongue-tied]

Just for clarity...the expectorate was aimed at the WBC folks.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks Tonk. Plan to attend!

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[OneLoyalAmerican]

WBC followers are...

foul maggots feasting upon the bodies of brave soldiers.

[Coop]

Thanks for posting this. The last time a thread on this important event went up the FR response was underwhelming, to say the least.

[Coop]

Ahhh, yes, just look at the outpouring of support from FR! < / sarcasm >

It'll be the same few dozen of us, but at least that will make it easy to make dinner reservations! :-)

[Mr. Silverback]

DC Area Freepers, scramble for intercept!

Note: If you are in an area of Maryland or Virginia that is far from DC, please let me know immediately and I'll remove you from this list.

[Just A Nobody]

Yes, it gets frustrating. Our numbers appear to be on an upward march though. The last two weeks at WRAMC have been encouraging. I hope it keeps up!
