DOD Outlines Authority For Employing Military Force Against American Citizens
Obama, fresh off
his Rose Garden triumph to free 5 of the most dangerous “international
terrorists” in captivity, announced an effort to re-establish a law-enforcement
group to prevent “homegrown terrorism,” according to a report in World Net
Daily. The panel apparently will include representatives from the National
Security Division of the Justice Department, the US Attorney General’s office,
and the FBI. Reuters News Service and The Washington Times reported
that the new panel, to be announced this week, will focus on cases “that involve
Americans who may be spurred to violence for political or
prejudicial reasons.”
The Obama administration will employ the US military, DHS, and Special Weapons
Para –military Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams that were created in
non-security related Federal Agencies against unrest by “domestic
groups.”
For 5 years, the
Obama administration’s has been taking unusual steps to prepare to employ
military force against American Citizens, those plans have been issued in a
Pentagon Directive and tested in large scale military urban training exercises
(reported over the last few years by alarmed citizens and news media
throughout the nation). Pentagon's
Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities" has
provisions in it to use military force against domestic unrest. The directive
was signed by then-Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn. A copy
can be found on the Pentagon Web site at:
http://www.dtic.mil/whs/ directives/corres/pdf/302518p. pdf
“This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s
decision to be able to use force within the United States against its citizens
on Obama’s orders,” said a defense official opposed to the directive. In a
recent New York Times article http://nyti.ms/1ptgjkU it was reported that the Pentagon has
developed programs to arm police departments in 38 states with grenade
launchers, heavily armored mine resistant vehicles, silencers, flash grenades,
5.56 mm & 7.62 mm machine guns, equipment to detect buried mines, M-16
rifles, night vision goggles, etc.
This
latest initiative is designed to prevent “homegrown/domestic terrorism” is
continuing the very early efforts by the Obama administration to address their
concern about domestic opposition to administration various policies. That
very early initiative, began in the first weeks of Obama’s White House tenure,
when Obama put conservatives in the
bull’s-eye in his campaign speeches to supposedly oppose domestic
unrest. At that time a newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security
report warned of the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists,”
including opponents of abortion. The DHS report was followed days later by a
report from the Missouri Information Analysis Center that warned law enforcement
officials to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on
Christianity and warned of the threat posed by returning Combat Veterans who
were considered a danger to the Obama administration, and initiatives to prevent
returning Combat Veterans being treated for PTSD from ever being able to own a
firearm, which would be violation of their Second Amendment rights.
The Department of
Homeland Security has been building up its armed Federal Police Force at a
steady pace for 5 years. DHS has been purchasing many heavily armored
vehicles for crowd control, an excessive amount of hollow tipped rounds of
ammunition (many more millions of rounds of ammunition than the US Army and the
US Marine Corps combined uses annually for training their personnel’s
annually).
In the below listed
article, in addition to the authority to employ military force against American
citizens, concerned defense analysts say there has been a surprising creation
and buildup by the Obama administration, of military units within
non-security-related Federal Agencies, notably the creation of Special Weapons
and Tactics (SWAT) Teams in non-security-related Federal Agencies that have no
need for SWAT Teams. Those Federal agencies include the Department
of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority,
the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Education
Department.
The US Army, the US
Army Reserve, the National Guard, and the FBI are fully equipped and qualified
to provide security for all those non-security-related agencies in conjunction
with local, county, and state law enforcement agencies, if the need
arises. The Republican leadership in Congress has been “asleep at the
switch” allowing the Obama Administration to create these private armed
Para-military Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams to receive salaries, to
be funded for their tactical training over the last 5 years, allowing them to
buy massive amounts of ammunition, bullet proof vests, helmets, and allowed them
to be armed with heavy weapons including machineguns & automatic
weapons. Does anyone in Congress really think that the Education
Department, the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Agriculture,
the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Consumer
Products Safety Commission, etc. needs to be armed to the teeth with SWAT
Teams?
The Republican
leadership in the House of Representatives, that is in controls of the Federal
Agency purse strings, should have put a stop to the development of those heavily
armed Para-military Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams over the past 5
years; some defense officials in Washington have referred to those heavily armed
SWAT Teams as the beginnings of a Private Army. Those SWAT Teams should be
eliminated by the Republican Leadership of Congress by eliminating the wasteful
funding OF the purchase of millions of rounds of ammunition, the SWAT Teams
intensive training programs, their bullet proof vests, their purchase of heavy
weapons, helmets, SWAT Team uniforms, armored SWAT Team vehicles, and the
salaries being paid to those SWAT Teams. Those SWAT Teams appear to have
been developed under the direction of Obama’s appointed Czars, without
Congressional authority or approval. The below listed article provides
additional details.

Compatriots,
So much for our service to our country.
Veterans will be the first target as I am certain that the DHS as reflected
in the Intelligence Assessment of 2009 still considers us a threat.
We are but not to the United States of America but to the leaders who would
destroy it and the slime who support their agenda.
The stuff may be ready to hit the fan sooner than we think.
Cantor's fall from grace could make the opposition dig in its heels
and engage in further activities designed to destroy the fabric of America.
Remember, Obama's focus: to fundamentally transform America and his opinion
of the Constitution. We should not stop trying to defeat Obama and his cronies
politically; however, it is imperative that we understand, based on their actions,
that they are preparing to force our submission by any means necessary.
We ignore these signs and warnings at our peril.
