The KSLA News 12 (Shreveport, Louisiana) story regarding the governmental use of Clergy Response Teams to control the American population has caused quite a stir among those with eyes to see and ears to hear (Watch the KSLA News 12 piece here).
The Federal Government has enlisted the aid of 26,000+ clergy to preach a Government issued agenda of Romans 13 (text below). This chapter from the Christian Bible is being used to demand complete and uncompromising obeisance to the American government. It has been said that this text was employed by Adolph Hitler in order to rally the German people to his ideals. It is no surprise that the Neo-cons, with a history steeped in Nazi idealism, should be employing the tactic yet again.
Separation of Church and State was a fundamental truth of the American Forefathers, and that Self Evident Truth was destroyed when churches were forced to sign paperwork, 501 (c)(3), in order to be tax exempt organizations. A tax exempt status that can be taken away if a pastor is found to be using his pulpit for a political agenda. But it seems a political agenda no longer matters as long as the message being heralded is approved State Mandated Truth. The government is now moving deeper into the churches to take even more control. This time, directly over those in the pews.
The use of the pulpit for political agenda is nothing new. The fact is, the American Revolution was rallied via the pulpits of the 13 Colonies. What makes its use by Hitler and the Neo-con Regime worthy of note is that it does not seek to ensure continued freedom and independence, but control, martial law, gun confiscation, and, ultimately, full-blown tyranny.
While the semantics of the Romans 13 text can be debated as to whether it demands obedience to all government or only God-fearing governments (the Bible is full of stories of Godly men upraising against government, including Jesus himself), perhaps the text itself should be called into question. Did the Apostle Paul even write this (or any of the text attributed to him, for that matter) or was it a later interpolation to call the growing Christian population to submission to Roman Governmental control? Regardless, this passage clearly highlights the systems used to control the masses: politics and religion. Together, they have been used to devastating affects since before the words of Romans 13 were penned; regardless of who set pen and ink to sheepskin. And it seems that the time-tested tactic is being resurrected for another barrage against humanity.

Romans 13
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
