Greetings MRFF Supporters!

First, on behalf of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, I'd like to extend my warmest appreciation to all of you who have supported our goal of upholding the core constitutional freedoms of our nation within our armed services. Without your support we would not have the ability to reveal the extent to which Dominionist Fundamentalist Christianity has sunk its claws into the highest echelons of the Pentagon.

Servicemen and servicewomen of all ranks have for decades been exposed to a hideously distorted brand of militarist religiosity known as "Christian Just War Theory," and while this fact has come as a shock for many, we at MRFF have long been aware of the presence of this Crusader ideology within the US military. Such being the case, we have sworn our lives toward protecting our service members from religious indoctrination -- especially with regard to the supposed "divine ethics" of nuclear warfare. The people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to the 31 brave missile launch officers from Vandenberg Air Force Base who stepped forward to alert us to the existence of a presentation which some of them had for years referred to as the "Jesus Loves Nukes" speech (a phrase which has since gone viral).

Our role in bringing attention to this shocking and repugnant curriculum has been greeted with praise from such diverse sources as the award-winning religious magazine U.S. Catholic and the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, as well as front-page coverage from the respected Japanese daily newspaper Asahi Shimbun (a week prior to their marking the August 6th & 9th anniversaries of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively). However, the usual rogues' gallery of neo-conservatives, pseudo-religious fascists, bible-thumping Dominionists, and dull-witted neo-Nazis have taken exception to this latest achievement in our exhaustive struggle to rid the armed services of the rank influence of superstitious extremism and have been concentrating their fire on us in a manner which speaks volumes about their basic qualities as human beings, let alone as professed "men and women of God."

Sometimes, however, we have to call a spade a spade and sound the BS detector. Case in point: Michael Savage (actual name: Michael Weiner) of The Savage Nation shlock-jock radio show, who recently devoted four minutes to a rabidly ad-hominem, personal assault on me and my family, as well as a denigration of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Much of the attention of Savage's stupefying rant was paid to mocking my name -- a name not too dissimilar to his own real name of Michael Weiner! -- which should serve as a particularly revealing clue as to the psychological state of this specimen, a professional bottom-feeding hyena who earns his daily bread by foaming at the mouth and spreading extremist hysteria which he likely doesn't even believe himself. Make sure to read MRFF Senior Research Director Chris Rodda's excellent Huffington Post article rebutting Michael Savage's idiotic and inaccurate rant. Attacks like these should serve as further confirmation that we are doing our job right.

The war chests of the forces ranged against us are overflowing, yet we still manage to frustrate their agenda on a shoe-string budget. However, we desperately need your generous donations -- now more than ever. In a nuclear crusade there can be no winners, and this is just one of the dangers which MRFF consistently works to prevent. Help do your part in this preventive struggle against the delusional Dominionist enemy, and remember, as I noted last month when quoting the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero, "Money forms the sinews of war." Please make a fully tax-deductible donation today.

Your Eternal Ally,

Mikey
