CHILLING ARTICLES IN THE YEAR SINCE
THE JANUARY 6 INSURRECTION VALIDATE
WHAT MRFF HAS WARNED OF FOR 16 YEARS
ABOUT EXTREMISM IN THE MILITARY
“The Pentagon is TOTALLY missing the key villain in this wretched drama … the Mothership of what is known as ‘Fundamentalist Christian Nationalism’ ... This twisted and tortured form of Christianity loathes absolutely nothing more than American democracy and wants to replace it with its own sectarian, weaponized version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
— MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein, 2021

Citing a National Public Radio database, Al Jazeera reports that at least 13 percent of the people charged over the January 6 insurgency had ties to the military or law enforcement, and that the prevalence of “domestic terrorist plots and attacks … on US soil linked to active-duty and reserve personnel rose in 2020 to 6.4 percent, up from 1.5 percent in 2019 and zero in 2018.”

Disgusting anti-Semitic letter in
MRFF's snail mail this week
(transcription follows image, or click image to enlarge)

It never fails. There’s always a cocksucker like you that comes along and creates more anti-Semitism. Me? I’m Jewish, a Vietnam veteran, and in contrast to a shit-bag like you who I’m SURE voted for Biden, a staunch Trump supporter. How, as a patriotic American, could I not be? He restored national pride. He fulfilled his campaign promises: He made us energy independent, reduced employment FOR ALL to record lows, kept undesirable illegal aliens out of our country and pushed the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA with a “warp speed” order to produce vaccines, which they did, and then…..
And then, we got the dementia-afflicted asshole Biden, the 50 year crooked fucking poster boy political bullshitter, the mentally-damaged asshole that told us he had a plan to defeat the corona virus, a plan that Trump didn’t have. Well, where is it, jackass? What is it, dumbo? Why are twice as many dying under your “leadership”, dick-brain? And, no more borders, no more energy independence, no more everything that Trump accomplished.
And, back to you, you leftist motherfucking piece of shit. I’ve got Vietnam buddies that are in those cemeteries, you cocksucker, and I have no problem with nice people placing wreaths on their graves. I don’t regard a wreath as a “Christian symbol.” But a piece of shit like you feels the need to stick your fucking nose into it and spread your leftist horseshit. Then, inevitably, the anti-Semites seize upon it and lash out at the Jew bastard, the kike, the fucking sheeny that isn’t happy with wreaths, or whatever the “cause du jour” is for the leftist bastards on any given day.
The end result? As a jew, I hate, loathe and despise shit-bags like you that have themselves convinced they’re doing wonderful, noble and necessary things for mankind. As for the flak, the shit thrown at you, both normal and abnormal, I don’t give a big rat’s ass. Ergo, fuck you and all the other leftist cocksuckers that share your views. I don’t consider shit-bags like you to be Jews. I get that strong feeling, that sixth sense, that instinct, that tells me that you’re also on the hard-left when it comes to Israel and you and your ilk have a problem with “zionists”, the same problem that many maniacal Muslim bastards have with Israel. If I’ve misread you, your beliefs and your intentions in this letter, I apologize, but I don’t believe I have, so I’ll stay with FUCK YOU, “Mikey.”

“Really?”
For the first time in my life, I am ashamed to have Jewish ties. What your organization has done is nothing short of drawing lines in the sand, making distinction of the differences in how someone worships, and who. Wreaths on tombstones, really? Your credentials notwithstanding, that argument is akin to some of the cheapest and lowest forms of racial or religious supremacy tactics used by lower educated persons.

After consulting with Mikey Weinstein/MRFF, the cadet
in the following email, written by one of the cadet's parents,
has chosen to receive the COVID vaccination.
MRFF 100% supports the military's vaccine mandate.
"Air Force Academy Vaccine Policies"
From: MRFF Client’s E-mail Address Withheld
Subject: Air Force Academy Vaccine Policies
Date: January 5, 2022 at 4:59:21 PM MST
I am a retired AF LtCol and my son is a current (class year withheld) Cadet at the AF Academy. My son requested a Religious Exemption for the COVID vaccine and was denied that exemption by the leadership of the Air Force Academy. He was on the fence of what to do next and needed to decide by Friday, January 7, 2022. I reached out to Mikey and he responded immediately. He quickly advised me on what my son should do and then offered for my son to call him back. He then consulted with him on his options and possible consequences of either decision he would make. In addition he also provided a critically impactful call from a special MRFF asset, a retired General in Colorado Springs, to my son to also discuss his options. Within 6 hrs, I had 5 calls from Mikey and 1 from the retired General. It is so great to have a resource like him and the MRFF staff that will support our Cadets, other military members and their parents and family when they're dealing with life changing decisions and consequences in a challenging place where there seems to be no choices. We have a great resource in the military with someone like Mikey Weinstein and the MRFF on our side. If your Cadet or Military member is dealing with any kind of persecution of their religious rights or freedoms call Mikey he and the MRFF will be your savior.

“wreaths”
Hi Mikey:
I wanted to thank you for bringing up the issue of the wreaths across America being placed on non-Christian graves. My father was a Marine during the Korean era. He and my mother are buried in a town cemetery, not a VA cemetery but for the past two years, there have been wreaths placed on their graves despite there being a star of david on the headstone. Luckily, the next graves has a husband and wife who were both in the military so I just moved the wreath to the next grave.
My father would have been furious to find a wreath on his grave. He was a proud Jewish, Brooklyn-born Marine. At least the stones placed on the headstone were not removed.
Please keep up the good work. Know that many appreciate your efforts.
Sincerely,
(name withheld)
