Two posts on this today that should be read in their entirety. The first is from The Radio Patriot and here it is in full:
To those of you who are veterans, I think it’s important that you read this email I just received from a trusted source. Knowledge is power, and I’m sending some your way. Please forward this to your brothers and sisters in arms. Get the word out that this is what the Obama Administration is doing. God help us, it’s fresh hell everyday with this crowd…

Subject: Apollo Alliance Recruiting Military Vets
To: Andrea Shea King
I don’t like the sound of this. A few excerpts follow, and the entire press release from the Apollo Alliance (i.e., from the horse’s mouth — or perhaps his opposite end) can be found here:
You’ll recall the Apollo Alliance claims to have written the Cap & Trade legislation as well as the Stimulus Bill; this according to Glenn Beck. Since FNC has apparently had Beck’s videos taken down due to copyright, I cannot find a video with Beck explaining the threat the Apollo Alliance poses to our Liberty.
But you’ll remember that the former “Green Jobs Czar” and self-professed Communist Van Jones sat on the Board of the AA. Too, the New York State Apollo Alliance Director is Jeffery Jones, co-founder with William Ayers of the Weather Underground.
Now these enemies-within-the-gates are recruiting our veterans. Part of Barry’s enforcement crew? Retired military can be intimidating to civilians if they choose.
Disturbing excerpts:
…. two green jobs programs — Veterans Green Jobs of Colorado and the Veterans Conservation Corps of Washington state—and the recently launched “Operation Free” campaign that has veterans touring the country to call for federal action on climate change.
Veterans Green Jobs runs a 9-week “Home Energy Auditor Training” (HEAT) for veterans, using a rapid, hands-on “military” style of training ….
(Deb: Since our veterans are already trained, I’m assuming they will be training civilians to control billigerent citizens, etc.)
“We think veterans are uniquely qualified to lead the environmental restoration here at home,” said Kirsten Maynard of Veterans Green Jobs. “Not only have they seen environmental destruction across the world; they also have technical skills and other kinds of work skills that allow them to do the really tough work that needs to be done – like go into homes and crawl in the attic and the basement. They’ve been trained by the military to do it, and they actually feel comfortable being in that kind of environment.”
(Deb: Am I the only one wondering if homeowners’ permission will be required for anyone, let alone retired military, to be crawling around their attics and basements? Where would YOU store the survival provisions and ammo? Just asking….)
The Veterans Conservation Corps has also inaugurated a new program, called Veterans Corps, which is modeled on the AmeriCorps program.
(Deb: Lots of folks think Barry’s civilian national security force will be recruited from AmericCorps.)
“It’s a revitalization of a mission they had in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Mark Fischer, who runs the Veterans Conservation Corps. “Once they left the military, that mission is gone, and it’s a big loss. When they lose that purpose it can be disheartening and disorienting. We try to create a meaningful job – for a purpose-driven life.”
(Deb: Note the quasi-religious tone here — Minister Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Life.”)
