Dakota Beacon

Ironically, a Canadian commemorative stamp honoring the Salvation Army.

The holiday season is fast approaching.  Neither time nor tide can stay it, to paraphrase Robert Burns, nor Covid nor poison “vaccines”, for that matter.  However we find our ways to celebrate, they will come regardless.  Perhaps we will see a return of the familiar Salvation Army kettles, maybe not.  After all, the stores that closed last year might well never open again and so there would be no point in setting up kettles at their doorways.  

A few months ago I was thinking about this and, having a few Facebook “friends” I responded to notifications of birthdays with the idea of donating on such occasions - in the person’s name - to the Salvation Army.  I have long been an ardent supporter.  I have played-gratis -  for some of their volunteer dinners and have mentioned them in Dakota Beacon articles no less than four times in the past, all with the idea of providing moral support to an organization which I had come to believe in as genuinely good in a climate of high-performance grifters posing as “charities”.  The SA, I have always believed, really did what they said - providing essential services to those in need without asking questions.  They did not discriminate either in hiring or in dispensing their services, although they did preach what they believed - which, as a religious organization, is their right.  

I have defended the SA when they were under attack a couple of years ago by the LGBTQ community which disagreed with their religious doctrine.  I have urged others to support the SA and shun organizations such as Chick-fil-A which arbitrarily denied them.  Today, however, I must sadly part company with the Salvation Army.  I don’t know their religious beliefs, although I know they don’t believe in harming the body through abuse of alcohol.  They provide assistance to those recovering from alcoholism.  But they are endorsing another abuse of the body and in fact, demanding it of their employees, that they take the infamous poisonous “vaccine” to keep their jobs.  They make no allowance, it seems, for “religious exemption”.  This is extraordinary.  It is outrageous, especially for a church which refuses to criticize the religious beliefs of others by their very doctrine.  Many have strong religious objections to these putrid toxins, knowing their use of fetal tissues from aborted babies - which many of us regard as sacrilige.

It is for this reason that this year not one penny will issue from my resources for the Salvation Army.  I will not shop at their store, which has often been my custom, I will not donate my services nor ask any of them.  I will not contribute in their kettles, unless it is to donate a card telling them I will not support them until they recognize and support basic human rights and eschew slavery.  I will not wish them well or a “Merry Christmas” again until they return to sanity.   

It is one thing to take the “vaccine” voluntarily.  It is one thing to suggest or advocate that others do if you are truly convinced of its benefits.  It is something else entirely to demand that anyone else take them.  The more that we are learning about them the more odious they are becoming.  That a religious organization would demand that employees forego their most basic human rights in order to be employed by them is unconscionable.   I never would have thought that a “humanitarian”, charitable organization could do this.  

It is sad to watch one’s heroes fall, one by one, to tyranny - or worse yet, to be co-opted by tyranny.  A terrible commentary and a real blow to the human spirit.  So, farewell, Salvation Army.  You have now - at least in my opinion - outlived your usefulness to the human race.  Maybe there is still salvation for them, however.  Maybe they could pledge all their resources to cover the losses of those harmed by their policy, together with a very heartfelt and profound apology for their evil deeds.
