"That's how it began life (as a forecasting tool, when originally developed for the feds by RAND), but it has morphed into a form that is very effective for FORMING "consensus".

FEMA Recruits Ministers to Promote Martial Law to Congregations

A minister has revealed to Prison Planet a nationwide FEMA program which is training ministers and other religious representatives to teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation.

In March of this year the Pastor, who we shall refer to as Pastor Revere, was invited to attend a meeting of his local FEMA chapter which circulated around preparedness for a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency.

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.

It was related to the Pastors that quarantines, martial law and forced relocation were a problem for state authorities when enforcing federal mandates due to the “cowboy mentality” of citizens standing up for their property and second amendment rights as well as farmers defending their crops and livestock from seizure. It was stressed that the Pastors needed to preach subservience to the authorities ahead of time in preparation for the round-ups and to make it clear to the congregation that “this is for their own good.”

If it’s “cowboy mentality” to stand up for property and gun rights, we can only hope we still have enough “cowboys” left in America. Fortunately, only about 20% of Americans actually attend church regularly (compared to the 40% who say they do), so the FEMA statist propaganda will only reach a fifth of the population even if every minister in America preached it. Of course, Police State USA has the Mainstream Media ready, willing, and able to preach to the other 80%.–Prison Planet
