Uncle Sam Wants YOU... To Help With the Census!!

Salaam (Peace) to all!

In these times of financial difficulty, many are struggling to find ways to make ends meet. As a result, many jobs that may have once been passed off as "not for me", are becoming more and more attractive.

Recently, an email was forwarded to me...one of those emails that are usually forwarded to a mass of recipients at once...notifying the reader that the Census Bureau is hiring people to help with the 2010 Census, promising a decent wage. So, I need some extra money...right...(who doesn't?), and I decide to go and look up the Census Bureau online to get details about the jobs they offer.

Everything seemed fairly reasonable...at first. Then I happened on this line of text:

"If you are a male applicant born after 12/31/59, you must confirm that you are registered with the Selective Service System. For more information, please visit Selective Service System's Web site at: http://www.sss.gov."

Huh? The Selective Service? Ok, so I go to the Selective Service website, and I look around, and happen upon this little tidbit:


The mission of the Selective Service System is:

-to provide manpower to the armed forces in an emergency; and
-to run an Alternative Service Program for men classified as conscientious objectors during a draft.

Selective Service would provide manpower to the military by conducting a draft using a list of young men's names gathered through the Selective Service registration process. Virtually all men - ages 18 through 25 - must register. Only if there is high compliance with this law, will a future draft be fair and equitable. The obligation of a man to register is imposed by the Military Selective Service Act, which establishes and governs the operations of the Selective Service System.


So, in order to work for the Census Bureau, I have to register for the DRAFT? Ummm...Excuse Me...WHAT DRAFT??

Well...Here's a "near answer" to that question:


What Happens in a Draft?

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

Here is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States returned to a draft:

1. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT
A crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation which starts a draft.

2. THE LOTTERY
A lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 18-year-olds and those turning 19 would probably not be drafted.

3. ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED
The Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure.

4. PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS
Registrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given 10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See also Classifications.

5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT
Local and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station for induction.

6. FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED
According to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.

Go ahead...read that again...one more time...real carefully. Notice any significant points of interest?

I'll let you discover them for yourselves...

Now...SUPPOSE...just...SUPPOSE...the U.S. Government were planning another war...yeah..."planning" another war, against another "Muslim nation", based on shoddy evidence of a "threat to national security"? America is already short on manpower to support its current war efforts around the globe. How could they possibly "staff" another war?

Might they consider bringing back...the DRAFT?

If they call you...or your sons...what will your response be? Will you answer the call of proven liars and war criminals? Or, will you answer the Call of God? Or, do you think answering the call of "Uncle Sam" is equal to answering the Call of God?

As for the followers of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, we have been given the proper response to "Uncle Sam's" call:

10. WE BELIEVE that we who declare ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for.

If you have not yet seen/heard the Hon. Louis Farrakhan's recent Saviours' Day Message, please purchase the DVD, and listen carefully to what he has to say. There's more at stake than most of us realize!
