Archbishop of the U.S. military says Catholic soldiers should not serve on firing squad

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who oversees the Catholic Church's pastoral services to Catholics in the U.S. military, is condemning the proposed livestream of the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan.

Broglio, in a statement Monday, also stipulated that any Catholic soldier assigned to the U.S. Army firing squad should ask to be excused from that duty, which he described as contrary to the teachings of the church. He joins other Catholic leaders in speaking out against the death penalty and the livestream plans.

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on Dec. 3.

Broglio recalled that he presided over the funeral of Michael Grant Cahill, the only civilian killed in that attack.

The crime committed by Hasan "was heinous, but does exposing the public to his execution serve any purpose?" Broglio asked.

"The US military generally enjoys a good reputation in the world," Broglio added. "Is there really a value to throwing them in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world?"

Trump Touts Pastor’s Support for Hasan Execution Livestream as Pope Objects



Trump Touts Pastor’s Support for Hasan Execution Livestream as Pope Objects

President Donald Trump promoted a pastor’s biblical defense of livestreaming Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan’s execution on Saturday, even as the president said he would personally decide whether the controversial broadcast goes ahead.

Trump reposted a report featuring Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas and a longtime Trump ally, who argued that the public execution would demonstrate the sanctity of human life.

The post sharpened a divide among religious leaders after Pope Leo XIV reiterated the Catholic Church’s opposition to capital punishment and the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops directly condemned the proposed livestream.

It also came as opposition widened among Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans who support executing Hasan but oppose livestreaming it.

Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment on Saturday.

NBC Affiliate: Ft. Hood Shooter Still Drawing Paycheck, Victims Denied Benefits; When Will 'Nightly News' Cover?


By: Ken Shepherd | May 23, 2013 | 18:10



Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hassan is still drawing his military paycheck while the Defense Department has refused to deem Hassan's victims as suffering combat-related wounds, which would entitle them to Purple Hearts and additional pay and benefits to aid the cost of their rehabilitation, Scott Friedman of Dallas, Texas, NBC affiliate KXAS reported on Wednesday morning.[watch the original KXAS report below the page break]

Yesterday, native Texan and MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall aired Friedman's report on her NewsNation program in her "Gut Check" segment in which she asked her viewers to weigh in on her Facebook page, "Should the Pentagon designate the Fort Hood shooting a terrorist attack?" [For their part, 76 percent of her viewers agreed that it should.] Although this is a pretty compelling report, at time of publication, neither NBC's Nightly News nor Today programs have aired the story.

How about the Fort Hood Shooting?

.





Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan


On Nov 5, 2009, Nidal Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood in Killeen, Texas and killed 13; he has still to be sentenced.  Talk about 'kick the can down the road'?  Nidal Hasan's trial has lingered for so long and wallowed for three years: Now they are debating whether he can sport a beard?  Nidal Hasan's defense appealed and got a new judge  appointed to preside over the Court Martial on the grounds that the killer's religious rights were violated.

Meaningful Action?

America - A Nation of Willing Slaves!


Volume XXVIII Issue XII December 2009Last Trumpet Ministries, PO Box 806, Beaver Dam, WI 53916Fax: 920-887-2626 Internet: http://lasttrumpetnewsletter.org/2009/


America - A Nation of Willing Slaves!


"Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich…..The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"

Jeremiah 5:25-27, 31



"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

Revelation 13:8-10



"But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."

John 5:42-43


In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will examine a condition that has developed in our erstwhile great nation, which has brought us to a time such as never was. We are living in a time that is unique in our nation's history, and very few people are taking notice. The United States of America was founded by men and women that wanted to escape oppression and to be free, and great effort was exerted to gain that freedom. We now live in the dark reality of a strong-armed and oppressive federalism that has all of the characteristics and potential of imperial Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. Indeed, we are on the very brink of dictatorship in a new world order, just as predicted in various places in the Scriptures. How can this be happening here? Just one generation ago, it would not have been believed to be possible. I was born in the year 1950 and have lived in Wisconsin all of my life. I can truly say that this country is no longer the one in which I was born. We are living in a time when people want to be slaves of a government that will feed them, medicate them, entertain them, indoctrinate them, confiscate the fruit of their labors, and bury them.

We know from reading the Scripture how it angered the Almighty God when Israel complained in the wilderness and wanted to go back and be slaves in Egypt. Instead of seeking the Lord's help, they were so ready to give up their freedom and liberty for the so-called social security benefits of Egypt. It is the same in America today. Where is the dignity, integrity, and honor that was once so important to free men and women?

When I think upon all this, I am reminded of the words of the illuministic futurist, Aldous Huxley, who died in 1963. Huxley was a writer for the Illuminati. He was also a mystic who advocated the use of psychedelic drugs. Huxley also wrote Brave New World and numerous essays. Consider some of his words as follows: "We are in a process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy to get people to actually love their servitude. A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors, and school teachers…..The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."

All things considered, we are most certainly moving across the threshold into a one-world dictatorship under the direction of Satan himself. Satan and all who submit to him will be quickly destroyed by our coming Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. One urgent question that demands an immediate answer is: where will you spend eternity? You now have a glorious opportunity to surrender you heart, soul, and mind to the Lord Jesus. He will accept you and save you if you do. Do it now, before your time runs out!

Dark Oppression by the Father of Lies!

It has been truly stated that a man's judgment is only as good as his information. Thus, in order to alter the judgment of people, you must control the information they receive. Here let it be noted that the White House brazenly boasted that they control the news media! This was revealed by the White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn. Dunn also was caught on tape while speaking to high school students in June, stating that one of her two favorite political philosophers was Communist Chinese leader Mao Tse tung. (1) Chairman Mao, as he was known, was a vicious Communist responsible for the mass murdering of tens of millions of people, and this is one of the heroes of Anita Dunn, handpicked by Barack Obama!

It is a sad fact that regardless of what the controlled press may say, Barack Obama is most assuredly illegally seated in the White House. He is not legal because he cannot produce a true and valid copy of his birth certificate proving that he was born in the United States. Here let it be noted that on Sunday, June 27th, 2004, the East African Standard Newspaper featured a headline as follows: "Kenyan-born Obama all set for U.S. Senate." (2) I have a copy of this page in front of me, but when attempting to find a larger copy, I was not surprised to find it had disappeared from the Internet. We must also note that during a 2004 Senate debate Alan Keyes stated that Obama was not a natural born citizen of the United States. Obama laughed and said to Keyes, "Only the President has to be a natural born citizen." (3)

Obama is not an American, much less, an American President. He is totally out of touch with America. A prime example of this is his gross insensitivity to the horrifying shooting that took place at Fort Hood in Texas on the 5th day of the 11th month of this year. It happened midway between Halloween and Armistice Day, which is celebrated at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month each year. Two days after the shooting was Friday the 13th, and the grief was heavy for the thirteen that died and for the many wounded. The occult implications of this blood sacrifice should be obvious. The witches and Freemasons that control our Government always work their plan around the celestial calendar. We must note that when Obama was informed, he was about to address a Tribal Nations Conference, and instead of stopping and addressing the tragic issue, he opened his speech to the Indians with a light, almost joking attitude, including a "shout out" to Dr. Joe (Medicine) Crow. There was no serious or somber reaction to the tragedy at all as he briefly mentioned it. (4) We must also take note that Obama played down the fact that the shooter, a psychiatrist known as Major Hasan, is an Islamic extremist who shouted, "Allahu Akbar," as he began to pump lead into the bodies of the soldiers and staff at Fort Hood. (5) The words Allahu Akbar mean "Allah is great." We are made to wonder how many other Islamic extremists are in the upper levels of our military and government as programmed units of destruction. It is a fact that Major Nidal Malik Hasan was a graduate of Virginia Tech, where 32 people were mass murdered in 2007. (6) There is a spiritual connection in all of this, and mind control is a program involving occult activity.

Everything about the Obama Administration seems wrong. Even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not permitted to be the Secretary of State under the United States Constitution. The organization known as Judicial Watch has filed lawsuits to challenge the appointment of Hillary Clinton because the U.S. Constitution clearly states the following: "No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof have been increased during such time." This means that Hillary Clinton could not legally occupy her office of Secretary of State until the year 2013. (7)

Does our U.S. Congress really care about anything or anyone outside of their own little world of oligarchic control? On November 6th, 2009, Politico reported that there are 237 millionaires in Congress, and many of the rest of them are not exactly poor. (8) Many of them have never worked a real job even one day in their lives. The U.S. Congress is now working like mad to force a new health care system upon the ones they call "ordinary Americans," while they themselves refuse to go under it in favor of their own health plan. They have declared themselves exempt from what they are trying to force you and I to do!

On October 29th, 2009, the Washington Post newspaper reported that the West Front of the Capitol would be fenced off because the general public was not invited to the unveiling of the House version of the new health care plan. (9) The West Front of the Capitol is always open to the public, but according to Nancy Pelosi's instructions, it was an invitation-only event, and guests had to be handpicked. Protesters shouted against the new and wicked program. It was reported that one man with a bullhorn cried out, "Nazi Pelosi, you will burn in hell for this."

This infamous Government-run health care plan had grown to 1,990 pages on October 30th, and it went on to exceed 2,000 pages later. There are more pages in this health care legislation than there are pages in War and Peace, Atlas Shrugged, or the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy. At a cost of over one trillion dollars for the entire package, the cost per word in this document is 2.2 million dollars! (10)

On November 7th, with the blood ritual sacrifice at Fort Hood completed, the House opened their debate on this new legislation that has the potential to destroy our country. (11) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi quickly broke her promise to post the entire document on the Internet for seventy-two hours prior to a vote. (12) During the darkness of a Saturday night, less than twenty-four hours from the time that discussion began, Pelosi called for a vote and the measure was passed narrowly at 220 to 215. (13)

How heinous and evil is this legislation? Republican leader John Boehner revealed that a separate abortion premium will be charged to all who come under the new health care system, and it will be billed monthly as such! Boehner said the following: "What is even more alarming is that a monthly abortion premium will be charged of all enrollees in the government-run plan. It's right there on line 16, page 96, section 213, under Insurance Rating Rules. The premium will be paid into an U.S. Treasury account, and these Federal funds will be used to pay for the abortion services." (14) Think of it! An U.S. Treasury account specifically for abortions from a specific allocated premium that you and I would be forced by law to pay! The Scriptural curses are upon this nation!

What will happen to people who object to the new Obama-Pelosi plan? According to ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp, a Republican from Michigan, the Joint Committee on Taxation, or JCT, confirmed the following: "Failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi Health Care Bill (H.R. 3962, as amended)….and who choose not to pay the bill's new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income) are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 dollars and imprisonment of up to five years." (15) Apparently the words "liberty and freedom" are being redefined for Americans.

The Beast In Your Bloodstream!

On Friday, October 23rd, 2009, Barack Obama declared a national health emergency regarding the H1N1 influenza virus. The White House declared that a thousand Americans died from the virus and millions were infected. The push was on for immunizations, and soon the manufacturers of the vaccine would reportedly enjoy an income of seven billion dollars. Meanwhile, people would be held in the bondage of fear and terror. At least that was the plan. (16) One question that arises is why did Obama refuse to have his own daughters immunized as reported by the Fox News White House Blog?

There are so many unanswered questions and prevailing uncertainties regarding the vaccines for H1N1 influenza that are being foisted upon the people of the world. Why would the German Army get a special swine flu vaccine without the additives given to the general public? According to Immunology Today, the restricted medical practitioner only edition, published on October 13th, 2009, the Bundeswehr soldiers were given a special vaccine called Celvapan, which did not contain mercury and is additive-free. Defense Ministry spokesman Thomas Raabe stated the following: "The Bundeswehr needs to be able to quickly and impartially inoculate soldiers and their dependants on foreign missions to ensure they were protected without having them at risk of death or disability from the additives." (17) Why should the general public face such risks?

We also know that in America certain so-called high-risk categories of people are given priority status to receive the H1N1 swine flu shot. One of those categories is pregnant women. As I write this, I am looking at many pages of testimonies of young expectant mothers who miscarried and lost their babies shortly after receiving the swine flu inoculation. My heart breaks for these women and their families. They mistakenly put their trust in people who are working for a system that is under the direction of Satan and his illuministic stooges that occupy the highest offices of our government. They are a dirty bunch!

The October 2009 edition of the American Journal of Pharmacology tells of a shocking program that is currently being developed by a giant drug company, Ely Lilly & Co. It is the plan to include antipsychotic drugs in infant formulas as a kind of "immunization" to help prevent episodes of ADHD in children as they age. The spokesman for Ely Lilly said the following: "There will be ethical issues of course but with ethical control over the drug and with reassurance of its safety, I'm sure objections can be overcome. We predict in five years, 1 in 3 children over 4 will be on antipsychotics as a matter of course….." (18) It is obvious that the children are being targeted in many ways to program them as forthcoming planetary citizens of the New World Order!

These are strange times, so unlike any other era of history. These are the days when Dr. Frankenstein could win the Nobel Prize for creating his monster. In fact, it is interesting to note that the story of Frankenstein took place in the area of Ingolstadt, Germany, which is the place where Dr. Adam Weishaupt first formed the Illuminati, along with Baron von Knigge and three others who met in a cave and used magic ritual to contact the one they called the "Controlling Unknown."

Scientists are continually defying God's order of creation. On October 29th, 2009, the London Daily Mail featured an article with the following headline: "No men OR women needed: Scientists create sperm and eggs from stem cells." (19) The unthinkable is happening, and a curse will come with it. Children without parents! Who will raise them, and who will control them?

Brother Can You Spare a Dime?

Those who are either old enough to remember or have studied history will recall the famous picture of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt riding in a convertible with a long stem cigarette holder in his mouth and wearing a coat with a fur collar as he traveled up Fifth Avenue in New York City. The caption under the photo said, "Brother, can you spare a dime?" The simple and tragic fact is that most people couldn't spare a dime. It was the time of the Great Depression, and Roosevelt was the multimillionaire "god man" that promised to save the country. We are now in another great depression, even though the government refuses to use those words. As in the first Great Depression, this one is upon us by careful planning and design by the conspirators that we already identified as a dirty bunch!

On October 19th, 2009, the news headlines for CNN Money revealed that the FDIC, which provides insurance to protect the accounts of depositors for up to $250,000 per account, is now broke. In fact, it is in the red until at least the year 2012! (20) It is a Federal insurance company with no reserves! Where is the account protection? In addition to that, banks continue to fail and dig the hole deeper! On November 6th, the Associated Press reported that more banks in Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and California were closed on that Friday, bringing the total number of bank failures for the year to 120. (21) On that very same day, Freddie Mac, the second largest provider of U.S. residential mortgages, posted a five billion dollar loss! (22) Indeed, the economic situation in America is so bad that NBC News Chicago reported on October 30th, 2009, that many nice homes in the suburbs of Chicago are for sale for one dollar but nobody wants them. People cannot afford to pay the taxes and upkeep on them, so they sit empty. (23) When I read this, I was reminded of Isaiah 5:9 which reads as follows: "In mine ears saith the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant."

I have written before about the severity of the American national debt, which is astronomical in the truest sense of the word. This debt is also spiraling upward by design as a part of the necessary sabotage needed to destroy the economies of the nation and the world, which will necessitate the creation of a new one-world economic system. The numbers and dates involved never cease to amaze me. Just in time for the witches' sabat of Samhain, or Halloween, the national debt ceiling was raised to thirteen trillion dollars. (24)

The number of unemployed Americans is staggering, and 80% of unemployment recipients in the country are of prime working age, between 25 and 59. Of the top wage earners to lose their jobs, 57% had been working in manufacturing and 24% were in construction. (25) Meanwhile, in Red China the economy is expanding rapidly, and even their auto sales increased 78% in September. (26) On October 15th, 2009, the FDIC told the Associated Press that U.S. banks are about to suffer another wave of trouble as commercial real estate loans go into default. With seven million jobs lost and buildings sitting empty, real estate developers have not paid the banks, and nationwide there is a staggering sum of $500 billion coming due annually. (27) We also see the price of gold skyrocketing to well over $1,100 per ounce! In addition to that, Barrick of Canada, the gold giant, announced on November 11th, 2009, that the world's gold supply is about to run out. New production has been decreasing by 1 million ounces per year for a number of years, and the quality of the ore is becoming very poor and inferior. (28) This is another sign of the times! I am reminded of James 5:1-3, which reads as follows: "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days."

We are not far from the mark of the beast and the new cashless system. On November 9th, 2009, Reuters News Service reported that the new rage all over Europe is "chipping parties," which are held at night clubs and other places of entertainment. Young people in their teens and twenties have been implanted with microchips by the thousands as they attend these parties. They are saying that the insertion of the electronic chip is almost painless and is quickly forgotten. Once it is in, there is no need to carry cash, credit cards, or identification for proof of age. The arm is scanned at the door, and the name and photograph of the person comes up on the screen. Drinks are purchased by the scanning of the arm, as are all other transactions. The club owners in Europe are saying it will soon be mandatory to have a microchip implant or you won't get in! (29)

There Is Something Rotten in Denmark!

This popular saying came from the play Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, when the character Marcellus said, "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark." It is taken from act I, scene IV. But we have something far more serious taking place in Denmark in December 2009 when the leaders of the world gather for their summit on global warming. The stated purpose of the summit in Copenhagen is to save "Mother Earth" from human exploitation, pollution, and ultimate destruction. It is officially called the United Nations Climate Change Conference of Copenhagen, and it is scheduled for December 7-18, 2009, in Copenhagen. Here let it be noted that all the talk about global warming, environmental impact, and save the planet is just a gimmick to conceal their real purpose. It sounds like such a noble cause to save "Mother Earth" and weld the people behind the effort in a grand unity. Just as the "German Fatherland" gimmick was used by Adolph Hitler to weld his purpose together, so this "Mother Earth" gimmick is to unify the entire world. The treaty actually states the words "A world government is going to be created," and this is written as the first of three purporses. The second stated purpose of the conference is to transfer the wealth from the countries of the West to Third World countries in satisfaction of what is called "climate debt." The leaders of this conspiracy are saying that only the major nations of the West have been polluting all of the Earth, not the Third World countries. Therefore, they say, that we owe them reparations. All of this was revealed and verified as true by a former science advisor to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Lord Christopher Monckton. It was clearly and specifically stated by Monckton that the real purpose of this summit was to officially create the One World Government and enforce allegiance to it. (30)

It is all coming together so quickly now, and all the pieces of the puzzle are beginning to fit together. On October 1st, 2009, it was announced in the news media in England that former Prime Minister Tony Blair is favored to become President of all of Europe to lead the European Union. (31) Tony Blair is heavily involved in metaphysical practice and various forms of witchcraft.

In the November 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a story was published with the following headline: VeriChip Markets RFID Microchip Implants to ID World International Congress." This world conference was held in Milan, Italy, on November 3-5, 2009, where VeriChip Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Scott R. Silverman made his presentation to this worldwide gathering of experts and leaders. The subject was, of course, electronic identification. (32)

Where are the churches in all of this? Are the leaders of the churches so out-of-touch with God and the Scripture that they don't know or care about Revelation 13:16-17 which reads as follows: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." How serious is this? In Revelation 14:9-11, we read about what happens to those who receive this implanted mark or chip into their bodies as follows: "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

The sad fact is that the churches are in on the one-world government scheme and are co-conspirators. The pastors have become modern-day Judas Iscariots, who instead of betraying the Lord for thirty pieces of silver are doing it to buy into the electronic worldwide money vault of the damned! In fact, on November 12th, 2009, the World Council of Churches called on every church in the world to ring their bells simultaneously 350 times during the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit. Every church bell in the world is to be rung on the 13th day of December 2009. The bells must be rung 350 times to symbolize the 350 parts per million that mark the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. (33) Thus, the churches of the world are to show their support of the new One World Government that is to be born on that day!

End Time Signs and Warnings!

It is the time of the end and things can happen so quickly. On November 10th, 2009, an electrical blackout hit Brazil, and it left one third of the entire population of that nation in darkness. About seventy million people were without power, and this event happened only weeks after that nation was chosen to host the 2016 Olympics. Power officials say a storm was the cause of the blackout. (34) There is no doubt that the Lord was voicing His disapproval of the pagan Olympic games that honor the "sun-god" and other false deities.

Many hundreds of earthquakes continue to shake the earth, and the entire earth is steadily and consistently crumbling as new fissures are forming in various places. In the heavens there are continual events that should cause us to take notice. On November 6th, 2009, a previously undiscovered asteroid seemed to come from nowhere, and it almost hit our earth. With only a 15-hour warning, this massive asteroid came within 8,700 miles of earth, which is 30 times nearer to the earth than our moon, which is approximately 250,000 miles away. (35) This was a near hit and could have been devastating. NASA is greatly concerned about the earth being hit and has a "Near Earth's Object Program" to try to deal with the problem. They know that it is just a matter of time until the unthinkable happens. Our only hope is our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Everything is in His Almighty hands and He is in control. Keep looking up as you watch and pray.

In closing, I want to thank all of you who support this prophetic ministry. God bless you now and in eternity. This issue completes another year of publication, and we look forward to beginning volume 29 of the Last Trumpet Newsletter next month. Our praying intercessors are always ready to give your prayer requests individual attention. Please remember to send in your renewal form if you want to receive the Last Trumpet Newsletter in 2010. We don't want you to miss a single issue. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Obama asks Congress to wait on Fort Hood

Let investigators wrap up, he urges as some lawmakers seek hearings



Nov. 14: In his weekly address, President Obama urges lawmakers to "resist the temptation" to turn the Fort Hood tragedy "into political theater."

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Fort Hood rampage until federal law enforcement and military authorities have completed their probes into the shootings at the Texas Army post, which left 13 people dead.

On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater." He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.

"The stakes are far too high," Obama said in a video and Internet address released by the White House while the president he was flying from Tokyo to Singapore, where Pacific Rim countries were meeting.

Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, was charged on Thursday with the shooting spree at Fort Hood last week. Army investigators have said Hasan is the only suspect and could face additional charges.

Obama already had ordered a review of all intelligence related to Hasan and whether the information was properly shared and acted upon within government agencies. Several members of Congress, particularly Michigan Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, have also called for a full examination of what agencies knew about Hasan's contacts with a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen and others of concern to the U.S.

Hoekstra confirmed this week that government officials knew of about 10 to 20 e-mails between Hasan and the radical imam, beginning in December 2008.

A joint terrorism task force overseen by the FBI learned late last year of Hasan's repeated contact with the cleric, who encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. The FBI said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to superiors because it concluded he wasn't linked to terrorism.

Lawmakers, however, already have announced they want their own investigations and were frustrated with what they view as a less-than-forthcoming administration.

Rep. Howard McKeon, R-Calif., said he wanted to go ahead with an investigation from the House Armed Services Committee, where he is the top Republican. He said he wanted an investigation that wouldn't compromise law enforcement or military investigations that were continuing on separate tracks.

In the Senate, Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, said his Homeland Security Committee was opening an investigation.

Obama said he was not opposed to hearings — eventually. But he strongly pressed lawmakers to hold off until the probes now under way are completed.

"There is an ongoing investigation into this terrible tragedy," Obama said. "That investigation will look at the motives of the alleged gunman, including his views and contacts."

"We must compile every piece of information that was known about the gunman, and we must learn what was done with that information. Once we have those facts, we must act upon them."

U.S. knew of Fort Hood shooting suspect's ties to extremist


11:59 PM CST on Monday, November 9, 2009


By BROOKS EGERTON and JIM LANDERS / The Dallas Morning News


Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sent repeated e-mails over the last year to a Muslim cleric known for extremist views, but federal terrorism investigators deemed the contact harmless and took no action.


The cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, praised the Fort Hood massacre suspect on Monday as "a hero."

"He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people," al-Awlaki's blog said.

Hasan, who is recovering from gunshot wounds in a San Antonio military hospital, is believed to have met al-Awlaki as early as 2001, when the cleric led a large northern Virginia mosque where Hasan sometimes worshipped. At the time, the U.S.-born imam styled himself as a moderate who condemned the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said U.S. intelligence agencies intercepted between 10 and 20 e-mails from Hasan to al-Awlaki beginning in late 2008. He said al-Awlaki – living in Yemen since 2002 – responded to Hasan at least twice.

The responses seemed "innocent," Hoekstra told The Washington Post. But "for me, the number of times that this guy tried to reach out to the imam was significant."

Hoekstra wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller and high-ranking government officials over the weekend to complain that "serious issues exist with respect to the performance of U.S. intelligence agencies in connection with what appears to have been a terrorism-related attack at Fort Hood."

The FBI acknowledged late Monday that Hasan came to the attention of one of its Joint Terrorism Task Forces in December as it pursued an unrelated investigation.

Agents who reviewed communications between Hasan and the unidentified subject of that investigation decided that they were "consistent with research being conducted by Maj. Hasan in his position as a psychiatrist" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., an FBI statement said.

"Because the content of the communications was explainable by his research and nothing else derogatory was found, the JTTF concluded that Major Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities or terrorist planning," the FBI said. "Other communications of which the FBI was aware were similar to the ones reviewed by the JTTF."

An Internet posting in May, by someone using the name Nidal Hasan, seemed to equate a suicide bomber with a U.S. soldier who throws himself on a grenade to save comrades. The FBI would not elaborate on what it meant by "other communications."

"To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate," the posting said. "It's more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause."

Under federal law, Hasan's purchase of the handgun used in last week's attack triggered a criminal background check. But counterterrorism officials were not alerted to the purchase – made in August, shortly after Hasan moved to Texas – because federal law bars such information-sharing, investigators said.

A motive has yet to be determined for the Fort Hood shootings, which left 13 people dead and 29 wounded. But the FBI said, "The investigation to date indicates that the alleged gunman acted alone and was not part of a broader terrorist plot."

The FBI director ordered a review of whether investigators overlooked signs that Hasan, 39, might be a threat. Members of Congress were briefed on the investigation late Monday.


Praising al-Qaeda

Al-Awlaki, who is in his late 30s, was born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents. He served at mosques in Denver and San Diego before going to Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va., one of the nation's largest, where the Virginia-born Hasan sometimes worshipped.

Al-Awlaki – whose name is sometimes spelled al-Aulaqi in English – told The New York Times shortly after the 9/11 attacks that Muslim leaders in the U.S. had sometimes gone too far with their rhetoric.

"In the past we were oblivious," he was quoted as saying. "We didn't really care much because we never expected things to happen. Now I think things are different.

"There were some statements that were inflammatory, and were considered just talk, but now we realize that talk can be taken seriously and acted upon in a violent, radical way."

In spring 2002, al-Awlaki moved to his parents' Middle Eastern homeland, where he began praising al-Qaeda online.

He also blamed Israelis for the U.S. terror attacks and accused the FBI of fabricating evidence to implicate Muslims.


Detained, released

U.S. authorities ultimately concluded that three of the 9/11 hijackers had spent time at al-Awlaki's mosques. Yemeni authorities detained al-Awlaki in mid-2006 at the request of the U.S. government but released him in late 2007.

At the Falls Church mosque Monday, a spokesman condemned the Fort Hood massacre and al-Awlaki's blog comments.

"Mr. al-Awlaki has clearly set himself apart from this community," said Johari Abdul-Malik, who is an imam and outreach director.

He said al-Awlaki left the mosque because he felt the role of an American imam after 9/11 included too many extra duties, including dealing with the media. Al-Awlaki wanted to focus on teaching, Abdul-Malik said.

"To go from that individual we knew to one who is projecting these words from Yemen is a shock," Abdul-Malik said. "I don't think we read him wrong. I think something happened."

He said that to his staff's knowledge, Hasan worshipped at Dar Al-Hijrah only occasionally, when visiting relatives nearby, and was not close with al-Awlaki. After Hasan's mother died in 2001, Abdul-Malik said, the military psychiatrist "seemed more withdrawn, quiet, and to some staff members, disoriented."


Investigation begins

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman suggested that the attack on Fort Hood was part of a pattern of anti-military activity in the U.S.

Three men in North Carolina were accused in a September indictment of targeting the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Va. Five New Jersey men were convicted in December of conspiring to attack the Army's Fort Dix, in New Jersey. And in June, a recent Muslim convert was suspected of firing on two Army recruiters at a Little Rock, Ark., shopping mall, killing one and wounding the other.

Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, pointed to a bipartisan report the committee issued last year on the "homegrown terrorist threat."

It concluded, he noted, that "no longer is the threat just from abroad, as was the case with the attacks of September 11, 2001; the threat is now increasingly from within, from homegrown terrorists who are inspired by violent Islamist ideology to plan and execute attacks where they live."

The Fort Hood rampage "appears to be a further example of that threat," Lieberman said in a news release.

He said his committee would hold a public hearing next week to begin investigating Hasan's motives, "whether the government missed warning signs that should have led to expulsion, and what lessons we can learn to prevent such future attacks.

"As this investigation continues, we would do no favor to the thousands of Muslim Americans who are serving our military with honor and the millions of patriotic and law-abiding Muslim Americans by ignoring real evidence that an individual Muslim American soldier may have become a violent Islamist extremist."

Fort Hood triggerman aided team on Homeland Security task force

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan


NEW YORK – Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter in yesterday's massacre at Fort Hood, played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama's transition into the White House, according to a key university policy institute document.


The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University
published a document May 19, entitled "Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009," in which Hasan of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant.

Hasan received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University School in Bethesda, Md., in 2001.

Noting that the Obama administration transition was proceeding, the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute report described on the first page the role of the Presidential Transition Task Force as including "representatives from past Administrations, State government, Fortune 500 companies, academia, research institutions and non-governmental organizations with global reach."

While the GWU task force participants included several members of government, including representatives of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, there is no indication in the document that the group played any formal role in the official Obama transition, other than to serve in a university-based advisory capacity.

Daniel Kaniewski, deputy director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, affirmed to WND in a telephone interview this morning that the Nidal Hasan listed as attending the meetings of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force was the same person as the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood massacre.

Video of Hasan at the event, carried originally by C-SPAN and reported by MSNBC, can be seen below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwHe-o9lPco&feature=player_embeddedhttp://


Kaniewski said Hasan attended the meetings in his capacity as a member of the faculty of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, not as a member of the HSPI Presidential Task Force.

Kaniewski believed Hasan applied on the institute's website to attend the meeting and was accepted because of his professional credentials.

Kaniewski could not tell WND whether or not Hasan made comments from the audience that influenced the task force recommendations or not.
He further confirmed Hasan had attended several meetings held by the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University and that the institute is currently searching conference records to see if it is possible to determine what additional institute conferences he attended.

According to the "About Us" section of the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute, the group is a "nonpartisan 'think and do' tank whose mission is to build bridges between theory and practice to advance homeland security through an interdisciplinary approach."

The Homeland Security Policy Institute is led by Frank J. Cilluffo, who formerly served in the White House as special assistant to President Bush for homeland security, and by Kaniewski, who formerly served in the White House as special assistant to President Bush for homeland security and senior director for response policy.

"Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor," Hasan said about America before he and possibly other Muslim soldiers at Fort Hood shot 43 fellow soldiers, killing 13.

"He said Muslims had a right to attack" the U.S., said Col. Terry Lee, who worked with Hasan at the Texas post, where the devout Sunni Muslim refused deployment. "He said Muslims shouldn't be fighting Muslims," he added. "He was very clear on that."

According to an explosive new book, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," Hasan is just the tip of a jihadist Fifth Column operating within the ranks of the U.S. military – which is too blinded by political correctness to see the threat.

Quoting from a classified military briefing, "Muslim Mafia" reveals that this Fifth Column has penetrated "every branch of the U.S. military." The Islamist enemy has even infiltrated the al-Qaida detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Shortly after this story was posted, the Huffington Post ran a piece claiming WND was attempting to "smear" President Obama by naming him "as the man who guided Nidal Malik Hasan to his murderous rampage at Ft. Hood yesterday."

However, Hasan is being reported as a participant in the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute's Presidential Transition Task Force, not as a member, noting the group was a university think-tank, not part of the Obama administration official transition team.

Further, the institute's deputy director is quoted saying he is unable to say if Hasan made any input to the group's final recommendations.

Other participants in the task force included many members of congressional staff who work with both the House and Senate homeland security committees, as well as staff from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice.
