Received this (via a trusted friend) from a reporter in Hawaii. I prefer to not disclose the reporter's identity. I post this excerpt here without comment.

Christians Face Persecution/Martyrdom Under Martial Law...And Church Seizure! Date:9/19/01 11:43:45 AM Pacific Standard Time From: XXXXXX

I received a report from Pensacola, Florida about one Pastor and his visitation by several FEMA officials. They told him, "Pastor, we've decided that UNDER MARTIAL LAW we are going to SEIZE YOUR CHURCH and use it for our base of operations here." Does FEMA or the government have the power to do so???

ABSOLUTELY.. under martial law, as our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms are swept away and we are forced to come under pre-existing PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS that deny us our previous liberties under the Constitution. UNDER MARTIAL LAW, FEMA can seize :your home, family members and separate them, your vehicles, your land and possessions including food supplies, your Church, and more.

Do we have NAMES of the church and its pastor? Do we have a NAME for the FEMA guy who allegedly said this? Or is this much sound and fury, signifying nothing?
