Even though President Joe Biden said that the Covid-19 pandemic “is over,” the United States Coast Guard is still refusing to honor guardsmen’s religious exemptions to get vaccinated. This has led to the military branch discharging them, while also refusing to elevate rank and finish training for others.
The Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit against the Coast Guard and other government agencies on September 16th, in defense of over 1,200 servicemen and women are being “categorically den[ied] virtually all” religious accommodation requests. Only 12 requests have been recognized.
In a statement to Fox News, Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG) Alaric Stone said that he submitted he religious exemption a year ago but was denied in January, to which he appealed, but was again denied in May. ‘He said that his denial was “virtually identical” to those of other unvaccinated service members, despite his mission and unit,’ Fox News reports.
I’ve been denied training several times. Training is directly associated with duties that I’m meant to be filling in the billets that I’m in. You know, this puts me at a pretty significant disadvantage, because, you know, I have certain tasks and jobs that I’m supposed to be doing, and I’m not necessarily getting the formal training that is supposed to go along with those.
Stone said, who also noted that he had “successfully served on board one of the highest up-tempo units within the Coast Guard without any COVID disruptions whatsoever,” which he noted in his request
But Stone noted that his mistreatment was nowhere near as severe as other members.
I’m already aware of one service member who, as of Monday this week, was discharged for being unvaccinated and standing up for his religious beliefs. And I personally know of dozens more who stand to be discharged in actually just the coming weeks.
Stone said
But the Coast Guard has a different story, though did acknowledge to Fox News that they have withheld training from some, and discharged others:
No Coast Guard members have been penalized for seeking religious accommodations from the COVID-19 vaccine requirement. Coast Guard policy prohibits taking retaliatory actions against a member for seeking a religious accommodation, and all religious accommodation requests are processed in accordance with standard agency guidance and policy.
At the height of the pandemic, restrictions on training, travel and leave were implemented in order to protect the Coast Guard workforce and the public. These restrictions were applicable to all Coast Guard members and were at no time focused on members who had filed or were awaiting decision on religious accommodation requests.
The Coast Guard is in the process of discharging all military members who do not have an approved medical or administrative exemption or religious accommodation, and who have not followed the order to become vaccinated.
The Coast Guard issued service-wide policy regarding requests for religious accommodation last summer. Although the Coast Guard’s religious accommodation process is similar to that of the DoD’s, it is a separate process. The Coast Guard carefully reviews and processes any member’s request for a religious accommodation on a case-by-case basis. This process follows Coast Guard policy applicable to all religious accommodation requests.
A spokesperson for the Coast Guard told Fox News
Steve Crampton, one of the plaintiff attorneys, told Fox News Digital in a statement:
The White House proclaimed the pandemic is over, but as the Pentagon just reiterated, the purge continues, as they systematically drive out of the Coast Guard [and all branches of the military] the best and the brightest, like LTJG Stone and our other plaintiffs.
Meanwhile, they use cookie-cutter form denial letters citing nonsensical excuses for their religious discrimination. For example, they told LTJG Stone that he was not ‘worldwide deployable’ due to his unvaccinated status, despite the fact that he had just completed four worldwide deployments, during which time he missed not a single day of work while no less than 12% of his fully vaccinated shipmates were quarantined with Covid.

[21] [God] poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. [23] He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. [24] He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. Job 12:21, 23-24
We have not heard a lot about the vaccination rate for the military in recent times. The last widely publicized news on it was in October of last year, which, the data provided showed that the majority of the reserves and national guardsmen were not already vaccinated.
Large Pockets Of The U.S. Military Remain Unvaccinated As Deadlines Are Near
Biden’s statement was just to create a ruckus in the media and with the populous: hence, why so many of his lackies have had to redefine what he meant. Of course, if it were truly “over over,” then all these emergency restrictions and legislations would dissipate; but it has not, and will not for a much while longer if not ever, like so many other “emergencies” in America that never end on the books.
The bottom-line is we already have a soft military as is, with all the inadequate training, wokeness, and perversion that is widely known; but now there is a forced exodus in all divisions, some more than others, and most of those still there have been have been death shotted. In the heat of battle and intense training, their bodies would expectedly not fair too well…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This is one way God is destroying America: the dismantling of what was once regarded as “the most powerful military in the world.”
It’s God’s judgement, but don’t forget: it’s also because of the unleashed evils, sins, and pride in the military, getting involved in foreign entanglements which goes against the constitution and the Bible, and worse: fighting unjust and evil wars which turned into greed-fueled atrocities such as the Gulf War to steal oil, Vietnam and Afghanistan were drug wars to create more opium for heroin and prescribed painkillers such as morphine and dilaudid.
The Iraq War which was a major atrocity where the Iraqi people were falsely accused of “terrorism” and hijacking planes on 9/11 when in fact the real terrorists were our government and that skull and bones devil George W. Bush, and the military murdered over a million innocent Iraqi men, women, and children and forced democracy in Iraq.
Now, our military is still corrupt and now it’s woke with the Emma and her two sodomite mommies recruiting ad, female soldiers which is a problem on its own, female soldiers making dance videos on Tiktok and turning the army into a slumber party, with these goings-on we have already lost World War III.

President Xi to Putin: bro, you seeing this?
(Putin smiles with anticipation.)
President Xi: hold up, I got an incoming call.
Kim Jong Un: Bro!!!
Well said.
It’s all about controlling and oppressing people, to drive them crazy. They want a certain reaction from them, and destroy the old world order, to bring in a new one. Sickos! But it is certainly judgment from God. If they just turned to a Christ, they’d have it so much easier…
They can’t suffer safe shoreline borders, protection and defense now can they? It ALL has to be ‘transformed’ or torn down….and we know who the thief is who only exists to rob, to kill and to destroy; to usurp the place of God & to slander him & his great name. Is there a sizeable godly fruitful remnant anymore to bring God’s protection & blessing?
–
Those who won’t go along, who’ve served honorably & faithfully, & who leave the armed forces, the ‘official’ medical, search & rescue, paramedic etc professions due to these things remind me of the sorts of able men who gathered to David. They’re going out into the prepper & off-grid communities, & their knowledge & training in acute medical emergencies will be just as necessary & useful as those with knowledge of herbal medicine, good nutrition etc in those communities ‘left behind’ (to use the terminology of the WEF propaganda), if the Lord tarries. Not to mention their being assets of protection & defense.
–
It’s 2 Peter 2 & Jude falling back to the Dark Age and the trials & tribulations of despotic elite rule, and tribalism with their wars, their warring fiefdoms, gangsters & vigilantes around the edges o the truly unsustainable thing these people destroying the earth think they can build.
–
The proud & arrogant, covetous empire building antichrist mindset won’t allow for truth, let alone for honor or ‘co-existence’. They preach a ‘peace’ with sin, death and destruction being the way of salvation; obtained by supposed ‘worth’ and ‘works’, craft by hook or by crook.
–
We face another cycle of the ‘beginnings of sorrows’ foretold of God, with those many coming & saying ‘I am Christ’, deceiving many….popery, papist socialism, with its monstrous, blasphemous head & hierarchy….MYSTERY continuing on, restrengthened, riding corporatism, the tyranny grinding on until the Father says ‘enough’.
–
Let us be thankful for the reprieve, liberty & prosperity…the stay in that pattern, which King James Bible faith & literacy brought…the trial of prosperity often the hardest in spiritual matters, let it go & be content with such things as we still have & are promised, lifting up our heads and the hands that hang down, strengthening the feeble knees….for the battle is not yet over.
–
How I hope & pray it is the last round, because these wicked are a terrible generation. Perverse and crooked. Hard to consider worsening further generations of the same…and by this point in the scriptural accounts, things move swiftly to judgment.
–
Was prompted a word study of ‘generation’ & found 107 occurrences in 92 verses. There is insight there. Would also note that reprieve & redemption came through the woman in those things ….the virtuous, actively waiting, faith evidenced woman as opposed to the strange one. Though bastards were outside to the tenth generation, and the Ammonites and Moabites forever…there were Tamar, Rahab, & Ruth. Deuteronomy 32 with Romans 9-11, Revelation 6-20. Hope for those seeking and/or receiving truth with repentance toward God & faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ regardless of circumstance or background. Hope of cleansing redemption; new man, new birth salvation & freedom indeed; of heaven, eternal life & inheritance….right relationship and fellowship with the Lord & his people….though there is ever the danger of roots of bitterness springing up, devouring one another etc.
–
For his mercy endureth forever…Psalm 106, 107, 118 and especially 136. Praise God for the blessed hope & heaven, the inheritance of saints through Christ to which we look forward, for we must continue in the faith, and through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God as written.
–
That kind of preaching & part of scripture has gotten short shrift in recent years, and the confusion of the common grounders mixing the holy with the profane, calling good evil and evil good has profaned the warning and confirming memory of the martyrs with their edits, carefully condensed & repackaged history, & their traditions has ensnared & foundered many on the shoals.
–
I realize that much of this scripture below is addressed particularly & directly to the Jews, but by the grace of God, secondarily also to us as well, most of us gentiles….Romans 9-11, the strange slips graffed in. It’s not easy living in times of change, and those who think they’re in charge & bringing it on their own terms are deluded & deceived by their own sin…those who refuse to love the truth who turn from it, those blind who think they see. So much scripture comes to mind. We must remain humble & not grow pride as though we have anything we were not given…even our own lives, and how much more our salvation in Christ?

Exodus 17:12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Heb 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Heb 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Heb 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Heb 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Heb 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Heb 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Heb 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
2Co 5:5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2Co 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
2Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

2Co 5:12 ¶ For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
2Co 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
2Co 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

2Co 5:16 ¶ Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2) …Another thing I would note…there are those who God brings out hardly. Many of us were ‘loved’ out the doors of the church houses, and ejected by the transformers who were still giving lip service to scripture & Christ. For awhile there is the shaking of the head, coming to one’s senses, wondering & coming to the realization of what hit us, from the earthly, then the spiritual perspectives. Ultimately it was a blessing clearing the air of confusion, and ultimately brought about by the grace & mercy of God.

Degenerate US Coast Guard is headquarters for “Nazi death cult” of bioweapons war criminals. That is entirely unacceptable in a free society under our Constitutional Republic. We truly are under a ‘corrupt’ cabal, there is no true ‘law or justice’ to speak of…It is absolute totalitarianism.
