The current Evangelical Christian revival and Jesus Camp mentality is grounded in what 90% of religion has always been: social. What this clip evidences the most is that children want to be good Christians because their parents positively reinforce it. The kids in the Jesus Camp exposé are homeschooled and consequently more devout because of their parents. There is nothing wrong with strong beliefs, devout Christianity, or children trying to convert people. Children are positively indoctrinated in elementary schools, serious believers of television and influenced by their parents’ values in arguably stronger ways. Christianity as a social identity will gain and lose popularity for thousands of years to come.

Of course the real problem with these camp teachings is a political call to action. The introduction of rhetoric and creation of poster-children scares people unfamiliar with church. The kids are told what to do and believe, and they simply obey. The kids have real devotion, but in our culture you usually have to be a rich white protestant male over thirty to get respect. They are not thoughtful participants of the Evangelical movement, they go because their parents send them to camp. Sooner or later the same kids will read literature, at the very least Harry Potter, and form their own opinions about God’s political agenda. In the meantime it will be interesting to see how child-level politics will backfire if Becky Fischer keeps denouncing Harry Potter. Her same speech would get booed in a public elementary school.

"This has not gotten, I think, play and the debate that it deserves or the debate that it deserves in the country up to this point," says Hannity in reference to this first video that aired on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and is now being criticized as 'coverage to the terrorists' and 'endangering troops'. The second is a beating of Iraqi children interrupted by a soldier saying “Hey! Do something. This is fucking disgusting.” Neither video should be censored.

The reality at home and in the media is that we stand with the troops. That is why journalists in Iraq are embedded in battle units as a matter of procedure. If the media did objective reporting in Iraq like some real journalists do, then there would be less support for the occupation. Mainstream media does not even show blood, no gore, no children, no bodies, no caskets, and wounded only with a positive theme. If anything, it is sickening it’s how much is not shown at the expense of animated images and groomed actors. Censorship on television needs to be redefined to limit detailed weapon manufacture. Calling the above footage terrorist propaganda is supported by the mentality in media that viewers do not want to be offended. The impression delivered is that people are not dieing and people are not suffering. Real war journalism will not be on television anytime soon.

The reality in Iraq is that the recipients of most beatings, bombings, and stray bullets are Iraqi children. I’m sure there is an inordinate number of children hospitalized for malnutrition, lack of clean water, and radiation. Iraqi children are silently dieing, and they’re not given enough attention. Child insurgents in Iraq are not given media attention. Children getting chocolate and soccer balls are omnipresent images of the occupation. This is mainly due to Iraq’s age demographic: half of the population is under 20, so there are a ton of children dieing and some fighting back.

How a company cashed in on anthrax
By Bob Evans

In a two-year span, the nation's only licensed anthrax vaccine maker went from pleading poverty to announcing $100 million in acquisitions, including other pharmaceutical companies and a new manufacturing plant near Washington, D.C.

It's a pattern that's worked well for BioPort Corp.: Tell the Pentagon or Congress that it doesn't have the money to keep going, negotiate a new deal, then count the extra cash rolling in

Full Story

BioPort should be investigated. Millions of volunteers in the armed services are about to be forcibly injected with something that will weaken their immune system and cause a range of lifelong diseases. Vaccines, along with depleted uranium and stress, are the main cause of Gulf War Syndrome. There is evidence that BioPort was the source of military-strength anthrax used in the anthrax mailing scare, which they profited from. One board member was head of FEMA and another was sold anthrax to Saddam in the 80’s. Defense spending corruption is currently on the scale of about 600 million dollars. As if this was not enough, the company hired Jerome Hauer and Joe Allbaugh - government officials tied to 9/11 and Funeralgate. BioPort is not a respectable vaccine manufacturer. It’s more like a bio-company straight out of Mission Impossible II or V for Vendetta.

Anthrax clues

Attas Cell and 9/11

Bush-Osama link

Anthrax scare explanation of the anthrax coverup and Muhammed Atta's trip to Maine. It is interesting that El-Hibri could have been in Germany when Attas cell formed, and that Muhammed Atta used Cipro. Who exactly paid for 9/11: cavemen, Saudis, CIA, bankers, generals, or some politicians?
