Operation Quell Dissent

Natural disaster? Massive terrorist attack? No problem, martial law will come to the rescue.

In May of 2006, Prison Planet exposed a nationwide FEMA program designed to train clergy, all over the United States, to "quell dissent" should our government have to declare martial law, something, it seems, the Bush Administration is anticipating the same way a kid anticipates Christmas morning.

"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."

Ironically, the same party that diligently defends our right to bear arms or should I say artillery, is also preparing to take those firearms away should a "catastrophic" event occur, contradicting what many believe to be the second amendment's main purpose, a check against tyranny. The Framers always encouraged a healthy mistrust of the state and believed disarming the citizenry could very well lead to federal oppression.

President Bush squandered precious time after Hurricane Katrina, allowing many residents in the New Orleans area to die unnecessarily, but the National Guard wasted no time confiscating guns during Hurricane Katrina, even in areas that were not affected by the hurricane. The actions or lack of action by the Bush Administration during Hurricane Katrina clearly define the agenda of this Administration and priority number one is to quell dissent, or in other words, strangle our democracy.
