You know, Mickey, I’ve been rethinking your request for me to keep your family out of this. Because of my ethical standards, I at first acquiesced. However, after reading article after article after article where you are quoted using your son, your wife, your daughter-in-law, you son’s estranged father-in-law as pawns and tools in your selfish, paranoid obsession-I have changed my mind. Why should I respect them when you don’t? Nope-not gonna comply with your whining and begging. And you know what?- it is because you’ve already brought them into it- proactively and voluntarily. If you cared so much about them you yourself would have kept them out of it, but no-as long as it helps to enforce your psychotic, self-centered delusions and satiate your evil compulsions you would do ANYTHING, even sacrifice your parents-no, wait…you already have! YOU HAVE NO DECENCY, NO HUMILITY OR REMORSE- NO AWARENESS OF SELF.
Bite me you bald-headed, short, impotent little mouse of a Jew. squeak squeak
BTW-what size shoe do you wear-8, 9…10? let’s see if you have enough courage to answer the question honestly. I’ll bet you don’t.

Mr. Name and location withheld,
My name is Rick Baker. I am a former Air Force Officer and a Vietnam Veteran with two tours of duty as a rescue pilot. I am also a regional coordinator for MRFF.
I was a Christian until I read your recent E-mail to Mr. Weinstein. Based on your barbaric treatment of Mr. Weinstein and his family and the growing militancy and Nazification of our beloved Christian principals by those of your ilk, I have decided to rethink my committment to Christianity. It seems Christianity of the sort you espouse has become the death knell of the kind, caring and concerned Christianity with which I grew up.
Your hateful rhetoric has turned a loving Jesus into a sneering, hateful and dangerous wild beast that far more resembles the tyrants of history than the savior He has been made out to be.
Your vile and medieval letter was an insult to all intelligent human beings. The depth of your ignorance is at once disturbing and pitiful.
For a person of your patently dismal character to opine so carelessly on a family that has served our great democracy for generations in the military is a grave misconception and reflects badly on your judgement and humanity.
Your racism is well defined by your statements and your limited intellect is clearly demonstrated by your inability to communicate without the use of vituperation. In short, you are a mindless Christian, racist sycophant with nothing to offer civilization. You are certainly no better than those concentration camp guards who stuffed women and children into gas chambers and burned their trembling bodies during the Holocaust.
You contribute nothing to this world. Therefore you are a non-entity. You need not have mentioned your faith because it was all too clear.
No one will meet you at the gates of Heaven for you will not reach them. There is nothing for you in this world or the next.
I condemn and vilify you sir. And as far as Mikey Weinstein goes, there is impotence of the genitals and impotence of the mind. Mr. Weinstein has sired children, you have not seemed to father any genuine thought.
Beware the Jewish Mouse that roars!
Rick Baker

Capt Richard, Tell Mikey, he can forward this one too! Right along with yours.
F4B Driver here- Marine- Chu Lai 67. Volunteered for my combat tour. Put off my law school acceptance from 66 to 67. Grad. 70. Why? The Corps needed combat trained pilots to go fight. Simple as that. My tribe may have kicked the hell out of the U S Army for a couple decades but today and WW I, WWII thru Afghan- we are a dedicated, patriotic bunch. 5 of my brothers saw combat. We were Honored when we Sioux combat vets came back from Nam. Spit on us Sioux and you will get your ass kicked, no matter where we are at. Some demonstrating hippies found that out real fast back in Nam days who stupidly came out on our reservation. Damn near buried those bastards in the Badlands and they knew it, including their unwashed women.
Anyway- Thanks for your letter, supporting Mikey. Not being a Christian- we too have suffered from the Nuts Branch of that religion. You may take offense at my reply to a E Mail Xmas Greeting sent to me, it was probably innocent but it is easy to get pissed at certain ignorance when you are a traditional Sioux and as you will learn, we too have suffered severely from zealot religious nuts. I have been thru the grueling 4 day Sun Dance 4 times, no water, no food and sat on a mountain top a few times likewise. Little bit heavier than a Sunday service and an hr later stand beaming piously outside a black, man-written, ‘word-of-God’ book in ones white gloved hand. So I guess I am not just a tom-tom beater who has attended a few pow wows. A holy man had a ceremony for me before heading for Nam. Our ceremonies are powerful- at least for us. “You will see the enemy over a hundred times and the bullets will bounce from your plane. I see you standing beneath the sun dance tree with a small boy!” was the conclusion. 110 combat missions and two SAM near misses happened later. One went off and the other on a separate mission up by Finger Lakes went right by me. (God (Creator) Bless Commie Labor!) The ‘On’ one snuffed out my port engine after a Split S. Inverted spin, near ejection, but Lo! that big F4 came out on its own, one burner still wailing and So China Sea – tore ass. Capt Fritz Tenner called, “Chief- Where you at?”
“Feet Wet.”
“C’mon back. Got the bastards spotted.”
I didn’t think, ‘Battle damage?’ I popped my RAT. No red bulbs. Rio (Backseater) says, “Chief. What the hell you doin’? We lose an engine?”
No reply while I restarted. No red Bulbs and I shoved it into Burner and bent her around. Fritz called his radial and Alt. off Hue Tacan. When I got closer, I could see an orbiting dot. “You in a right hand turn?” My answer was a downward break toward Finger Lakes. Shortly, Fritz let go half his Nape. He screamed in his mike after he had enough turn to view his drop. “200 long, Chief” he said sourly and got ready for his last pass. He screamed again exuberantly after my drop. Hell I am getting so damned old, I can’t remember at this moment who had Nape or not but who the hell cares. I got the correct one somewhere in one of my books written way back when one’s grey matter is a bit more sharpened. I ain’t about to go look it up for an E-mail. I bent her around and viewed some secondarys. Fritz came in and sent a SAM spiraling out into the jungle. Russian boys below were not saved by Air Force/McNamara/LBJ rules on this one. Wait a half hr for Land Shark clearance after a SAM is fired was the white man’s stupid rule. I was going to law school, Fritz- Delta Air- meant “Fk em.” Both RIO’s I promised to shoot if they breathed a word. 10 AM we had rum and coke (That’s Coca-Cola) in my Hootch after ‘Debriefing.’ – a Suspected truck park near Finger Lakes. Hell. We should have been given DFCs. So– here is my reply.
Warning- Be careful as to what type of ‘Holiday Greeting’ one sends to Eagle Man- Oglala, Lakota Sioux.
As a Traditional Sioux Indian, which you know I am, you should have the courtesy to not attempt to Pander your Jesus as LORD or is God on any communication to me. Have you sent this to any of your Jewish friends? If so then you would have to be branded as some Zealot. An ignorant one, at that. Hell- they are all (zealots) dumber than Catholic fence posts! Do you harbor that stupid idea that I will not reach my Spirit World? I will admit that I think your type are in for one helluva surprise once those eyes shut their last. We have had our experiences with those nuts who even had our own religion banned by their congressional lobbying, yes and forced through their devastating Boarding Schools where we were ‘Given’ Gessuss as early as 6 AM in the mornings- week days as well as longer sessions on Sunday. Schools were staffed with other overly religious Nuts many of the frustrated, brain washed females wearing black Hoods. Protestants had horrible boarding schools as well- Canada has had numerous law suits regarding them. Pedophilia was rife in those schools as well, committed by the religious fanatics. No- we were not gassed Auschwitz style but we suffered inhumanely. All in the name of your ‘LORD’! Why were the Jews so persecuted and by Christians too? Arabs had nothing to do with it. Not that I commend their nut zealotry either- the way they treat their women. Organized, man-led Religion again. Nuts get up an idea, ban together with other religious nuts and innocent victims suffer. I do not buy the lying that it was only the Nazis regarding the Jews. Christians relished at their persecution and self enrichment and not just WWII- it was down through the ages that these poor people suffered. Oh? Yes- the first words out of your mouth will be – the usual Xtian refrain- “Why are you so angry?”

Dear E-Mail Address Witheld,
Thank you for your insights, such as they are. You employ word strings of obvious emotive connotations, such as “selfish, paranoid obsession” and “psychotic, self-centered delusions and . . . evil compulsions”.
In order to take ownership of such interpretations the implication is that the one proffering them understands their substance and connotations. Unless you are credentialed ( Masters degree or higher) in the realm of making OC diagnoses you are simply engaged in rhetorical hyperbole in defense of “something” (since you appear to be an anti-Semite, you likely are either a version of what is labeled Christian Fundamentalist, or you are a radical Islamic Fundamentalist – notice how the hatred they hold in common facilitates their sharing the same Fundamentalist label). BTW, appending the modifier “selfish” to “paranoid obsession” betrays a lack of understanding of OC, the conjoining of “paranoid” and “obsession” notwithstanding.
You also seem to have an issue regarding a person’s height. Just as we don’t have any choice over our height, neither do we have to accept stereotypes associated with tallness or shortness in height. Talk to anyone over 6 ft tall who has a parent or grandparent (etc.) who’s about 5-1 (and there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of such cases), and see if they share your stereotypes about relatively short people (I’ll give you a clue: most such 6 footers are thankful for all of their parents, grandparents, etc., since without the full complement they simply wouldn’t exist). Most men lose their hair as they age (an inheritance through their mother’s genetics) . . . obviously, there is much variation . . . but making an issue of a man being bald is like pointing at some guy in his 50s and saying, “You there, yes you, the guy with five toes on each foot”.
And now we come to “psychotic, self-centered delusions and . . . evil compulsions” . . . I’m guessing that the concept “evil compulsions” comes from some spiritual guidance manual you have at hand. The use of such a compound connotes the existence of its obverse, namely “good compulsions” . . . but neither in that dyad are covered by OC, since “good” and “evil” reflect value judgments rather than empiricism (and thus, the existence of those two words in your spiritual guidance manual).
Finally, we get to the concept of “delusions”. The following is from the on-line Wikipedia, Subj: Delusion: “Religious delusion: Any delusion with a religious or spiritual content”. Another on-line source under the Google search subject “Religious delusion” yielded the following:
“In an ongoing study by Mohr and Huguelet, their delusional patients … believed they had a close relationship with God, believed that God told them to inflict serious bodily injury to themselves or to others. . . . (5).
(5) Mohr S and Huguelet P. The relationship between schizophrenia and religion and its implications for care. Swiss Med Wkly 2004;134:369-376.”
Unlike your implicit claim to religious Fundamentalism, there is no evidence that Mikey Weinstein is a practicing Jew . . . in fact he could be an agnostic (See, for example, the Wikipedia subject: Humanistic Judaism. That movement encompasses Jews who either (1) reject theism; or, (2) are agnostic.).
PS: Your research on Mikey must have missed that he is a boxer . . . he boxed while in the Air Force . . . don’t quite see how that fits in with your description of him.

The danger that United States Air Force and its Academy face is best illustrated in the attached Coat of arms of Prussia 1933 with its slogan of “Gott mit Uns!” and it’s direct descendant of the German Nazi military machine’s belt buckle. Happily the German belt buckle is now as rusty as it appears above, but the thrust of religionizing the United States military by the Christian supremacists within it and outside of it is an extreme growing danger to the American constitutional democracy, I believe.
I’m fully convinced that were General Eisenhower and our ex-president still alive, he would very forcefully add a phrase like “Beware of the Religious Military Complex!” to his previous warning to our nation about the danger from the military-industrial complex.

This is a stark morning for me, to witness the incivilities that Michael Weinstein has experienced because of his stand for the Constitution. I compiled the emails that we exchanged today into the attached document.
Because Dr. Stuart “Hawkeye” Goldberg lives in Colorado I expect that he has heard of Mikey Weinstein, so I have included him in this email. I had earlier found his article online which included his address: http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/wwii/articles/ormocbay.aspx .
I think that all citizens need to know of this ongoing crisis of Constitutional proportions.
Respectful regards to all. God bless us, every one!

Here is the introductory text of the attached document that contains the exchange of emails:
Mental Health and Religion in the Military: An explosion that can be controlled
I am a Vietnam Era veteran — mostly stateside and never “in-country” in SEA.
This is the Holiday/Christmas week in our nation and worldwide. I woke early this Sunday morning and in the early hours of the day went online to seek out information about an Army Ranger who had trained me in mountaineering in the Mountaineering Club when I was an Air Force Academy cadet. “Pop Sorenson” was his name and he had been a member of one of the pre-landing teams that prepared the cliffs for the World War II Normandy landing. I found a website with a story about Rudder’s Rangers and Pointe du Hoc on D-Day itself, but it did not mention Pop Sorenson and others who had arrived likely at other cliffs some days earlier. The website has a huge index of articles and I read about different battles and different wars such as this battle of U.S. airplanes and Japanese ships in Ormoc Bay, Leyte, in the Philippines: http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com/wwii/articles/ormocbay.aspx .
When I then briefly checked my email inbox it set off a chain of events that highlights a clear and present battle that is still raging. That is what this document is about.
You can read the note below from CrimeTimes.org that I forwarded to Michael L. “Mikey” Weinstein because it dealt with mental health issues and unhealthy ways of acting in civil society. The sequence of information that he sent me in response (3 emails, below) is astounding. I am saving his disclosures because this is important input for those of us who have high hopes for the future of the world as our nation prepares the layout of the terrain that our descendants will occupy.
A battle of words, hearts and minds is currently raging in our nation and within our military. It is actually a smoldering conflict that is as old as our nation and is indeed one that has been burning beneath the surface of human society since the early days of civilization. The glimpses that you will see when you read the exchanges below introduce the man and the organization that give me hope for what the United States of America can become if we live up to the Constitution of the United States. The official site gives the purpose and has many links: www.MilitaryReligiousFreedom.org. An internet search using the words Mikey Weinstein and Military Religious Freedom will return a wealth of citations about what this organization has meant to many veterans and current military members and cadets at military academies.
Our nation is strengthened by religious diversity. The exchanges below will hopefully inspire you to support the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. And, by the way, that Saga of Ormoc Bay was written by Dr. Stuart “Hawkeye” Goldberg.

Dear (name withheld)
As a result of your letter to Mr. Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, I have examined my Christianity based on your remarks and can no longer belong to a belief system that abides such wide spread mental cancer.
Yes I was a Christian, happily celebrating the gentleness and love emanating from the Gospels. But, of late, I have seen a side of Christianity that has sickened me and made me realize that much of today’s Christianity is modeled after the Crusades, The Conquistadors’ genocide of North and South American indigenous natives, Inquisitions, Pogroms, enslavement of Africans, Segregation and other acts of barbarism I had thought were long over.
But reading your letter I knew they were not a thing of the past but the continuation of a terrible disease of which you are a carrier and ready to spread into a world wide epidemic of Christian Dominance.
(name withheld), in my military career I fought for you so you could have the freedom to spread your onerous and imbalanced rhetoric. That’s what Democracy is all about.
But I don’t think you can fully understand that unselfish act. You recall the the old saw: “I don’t agree with a word you said but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” That is a thought that appears to lie outside the scope of your understanding.
My decision is one that should be made by all those who eschew violence, subterfuge, coercion, falsehood and misbegotten doctrine.
Given the thousands of children molested, raped and mentally violated by Christian priests and ministers in a position of trust, I should have been forewarned.
I will not rot in Hell,as it does not exist for thinking people. My Hell has been to deal with lost and abandoned souls such as yours which is now crying for a new host.
I am not aware of any western nation founded solely by Christians but I will keep an eye open for one.
Of which race do you speak? White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Red? Or perhaps you have progressed to the point where you mean the Human Race which is all inclusive? Nah!
I’m afraid it is yours that is the treason. All that you have said is squarely contrary to constitutional provision. You are in a dream world of Christian supremacy. Much like your Nazi forebears you have dreamed of becoming Mensch, the Christian Supermen envisioned by Hitler. It is true that you have learned their singularly caustic ways.
You have called me a little man. But I feel that the little man is the one who hides behind the skirts of God and bushwhacks the uninitiated. Yours is the treachery only a person of limited intellect can produce.
How lonely and deserted you are. How isolated from the good will of friends and family you seem to have become. If there is a small speck of humanity left in you try to reach out and reconnect with reality. Realize your small existence and attempt to regain some semblance of connection with mankind.
Your rejection of Mikey is actually a rejection of yourself for it seems you are trying to escape from (name withheld). And who wouldn’t?
(name withheld), you are made of the stuff of those who could pull the fingernails from the trembling hands of children during the dark ages Christian torture sprees, capable of burning at the stake women of good repute as in the Salem Witch Trials. You could easily press the red hot steel of branding irons to the skin of innocents. In short you have taken on all the evils that could possibly be generated by religion run amok.
You are a terrorist (name withheld) and you need to seek the help and good offices of stable thinkers.
