It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Oregon gunman singled out Christians during rampage

A gunman singled out Christians, telling them they would see God in “one second,” during a rampage at an Oregon college Thursday that left at least nine innocent people dead and several more wounded, survivors and authorities said.

“[He started] asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, and if you’re a Christian stand up. And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you are going to see God in just about one second.’ And then he shot and killed them,” Stacy Boylen, whose daughter was wounded at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., told CNN.

A twitter user named @bodhilooney,” who said her grandmother was at the scene of the carnage, tweeted that if victims said they were Christian “then they were shot in the head. If they said no, or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs.”

Gunman Chris Harper-Mercer’s disdain for religion was evident in an online profile, in which he became a member of a “doesn’t like organized religion” group on an Internet dating site.

Kort­ney Moore, 18, said she saw the teacher of her Writing 115 class get shot in the head at the college’s Snyder Hall before the gunman started asking people to state their religion and opening fire, the city’s News-Review newspaper reported.

Harper-Mercer, 26, was killed in a shootout with police outside one of the classrooms, said Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin.

“There was an exchange of gunfire,” he said. “The shooter threat was neutralized.”

Although police put the death toll at 10 — including Harper-Mercer — with seven people injured, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum had said 13 people died.

In other developments:

    The killer was carrying four guns — three pistols and a rifle — a source told CNN.
     An anonymous user wrote in an ominous post on the online bulletin board 4chan Wednesday night: “Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to school tomorrow if you are in the northwest. happening thread will be posted tomorrow morning. so long space robots,” the post concluded.
    Online profiles linked to Harper-Mercer showed that he had a fascination with the terror tactics of the Irish Republican Army, and bought Nazi memorabilia. He also wrote a blog post that mentioned Vester Lee Flanagan, who murdered a Virginia newswoman and cameraman live on air, according to CBS News. “Seems like the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight,” he wrote.
    A former president of the college said that it has only one unarmed security officer and that the community decided against armed guards last year. “I suspect this is going to start a discussion across the country about how community colleges prepare themselves for events like this,” Joe Olson told CBS.
    President Obama issued a plea for greater gun control and bemoaned that America is “the only advanced country on earth [that] sees these kind of mass shooting every few months.”
    The attack brought the number of mass shootings in the nation this year to 294, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker. The Web site defines mass shootings as incidents in which four or more people are killed or injured by gunfire.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene inside Snyder Hall.

People were scrambling “like ants” when the gunman opened fire at around 10:38 a.m., according to Brady Winder, a 23-year-old student from Portland.

“People [were] screaming, ‘Get out!’ ” he told The News-Review, adding he saw a girl frantically swimming across a creek to escape.

Student Hannah Miles was sitting in a classroom next door when she heard a pop that sounded like a yardstick slapping on a chalkboard, she said.

Everyone in her classroom fled as more gunfire erupted.

Student Brandy Winter posted on Facebook, “I ran to the edge of the campus, down a hill and waited. From talking with a student in the classroom where it happened, almost every person in the room was shot by a man with four guns.’’

Another student, Luke Rogers, said he saw blood in a classroom as he was evacuated from the building.

“As we passed by the classroom, on the ground there were drops of blood,” the first-year Umpqua student told CNN. “We didn’t see any bodies. We saw books on the ground.”

One witness told The New York Times that she heard gunshots outside her classroom.

She said a middle-aged woman then tried to close the door and prevent the shooter from getting inside, but she was shot several times in the stomach.

The gunman “was just out there, hanging outside the door,” Cassandra Welding told the Times “and she slumped over and I knew something wasn’t right. And they’re like, ‘She got shot, she got shot.’ And everyone is panicking.”

Douglas County Fire Marshal Ray Shoulfer said victims were found in “multiple classrooms,” according to CNN.

The sheriff said the shooter was taken down by two officers who rushed to scene without backup minutes into the shooting.

In a national address, Obama lamented that mass shootings have become routine in America.

“I hope and pray that I don’t have to come out again during my tenure as president to offer my condolences to families in these circumstances,” he said. “But based on my experience as president, I can’t guarantee that, and that’s terrible to say, and it can change.”

Ironically, the Columbine shooters also went after Christians.

OBAMA’S SPEECH ON OREGON MASS SHOOTINGS DECLARES OPEN SEASON ON CHRISTIANS
Geoffrey Grider | October 3, 2015 | 56 Comments
LOOK AROUND YOU, CHRISTIAN AMERICA, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE OBAMA GOVERNMENT IS AGAINST YOU.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” Matthew 24:9 (KJV)

The man who gunned down nine people at an Oregon community college was enrolled in the class where the fatal shootings occurred, Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said Friday. Stacy Boylan, the father of Anastasia Boylan, who was wounded, said she told him the gunman, Chris Harper-Mercer, singled out Christians.

She said the gunman entered her classroom firing, told the professor teaching the class, “I’ve been waiting to do this for years,” and shot him point blank, Stacy Boylan said. While reloading his handgun, the man ordered the students to stand up and asked whether they were Christians, Boylan told her family.

“And they would stand up, and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you’re going to see God in just about one second,’ ” Stacy Boylan told CNN, relaying his daughter’s account. “And then he shot and killed them.”

President Obama gave a speech yesterday where he decried the Oregon mass shootings, and then made a nearly 10 minute plea to take away America’s guns. But glaringly absent from his copious amounts of spewed words was any mention at all that the gunman specifically targeted Christians, and only Christians. Just two days earlier at the United Nations, he gave a speech where he warned that “intolerance towards Islam” would not be tolerated. Then, when Christians were targeted and killed for being Christian, he said nothing on their behalf. In doing so, the message he sent to the entire country was that Christians neither deserve nor will receive any special protection as Christians.

PRESIDENT OBAMA OREGON FULL SPEECH. ‘SOME HOW THIS HAS BECOME ROUTINE’

Targeting Christians because they are Christian is, by definition, a hate crime. When race riots broke out in Ferguson, Obama stood on the side of the rioting criminals. When race riots broke out in Baltimore, Obama stood on the side of the rioting criminals. At the United Nations, Obama embraced the mantle of Islam and gave an impassioned speech against those who would impugn it. But Christians targeted and slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ? Their spilt blood was apparently not worthy of even word spoken in solidarity with the cause of Christ.

Look around you, Christian America, and you will see that the Obama government is against you. Just this week he said “we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow LGBT Americans their constitutional rights.” Want to go to jail? Open a Christian bakery or flower shop. Where is the most unsafe place in America for babies? In their mothers wombs. The same number of people who died in 9/11 are killed in their mothers wombs in America every day. Where does Obama stand on abortion? He loves it….a lot.

WHY OBAMA DEFENDS ISLAM BUT ATTACKS CHRISTIANS

9 dead Christian Americans, slaughtered in cold blood for their faith in Jesus Christ, and all Obama could say was “more gun control”. What Obama didn’t say spoke volumes more than what he did say, and the message he sent unmistakable. That the targeted murder of Christians rates no special mention and carries no special punishment. Open season on Christians.

Want to guess how his speech would have been different if it was 9 Muslims who were killed for being Muslims? Here’s a clue:

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”  – from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope”.
