Obama to Top Brass: Will you fire on American Citizens?
NextNewsNetwork via YouTube ^ | January 23, 2013

Posted on 04/04/2013 6:03:27 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

The Obama administration is openly escalating its campaign against private gun ownership, and shaking up the top ranks of the military command structure -- but is it also preparing to make war on the American population? According to a person identified as a former senior military official, the answer to that shocking question is yes.

World-renowned educator and human rights activist Jim Garrow says that the source, man regarded as "one of America's foremost military heroes," told him that President Obama is using a new litmus test for "determining who will stay and who must go" among top-ranked military leaders. That test is whether they will fire on US citizens or not. Garrow says that his source made the disclosure in order to "sound the alarm" over the administration's plans.

While Garrow will not yet reveal the identity of the source, it's important to note that Garrow himself is a man of considerable accomplishment. He is the founder of the Bethune Institute, which has established hundreds of schools throughout China. Three years ago, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work though a group called Pink Pagoda, which combat "gendercide" in China -- that is, the practice of rescuing baby girls who had been abandoned or targeted for infanticide because of the government's one-child policy. He was personally involved in helping to save the lives of more than 50,000 Chinese girls. He joins Gary Franchi on WHDT World News to discuss this new "Litmus Test."

*No party or entity depicted in this broadcast advocates insurrection against the government of the United States of America.

Let's imagine a "Kent State" sort of moment in 2014 -- soldiers fire on US citizens when an order is given in the midst of a tense situation.
Perhaps that tragic event would be repeated a week later and again 2 days after that. Soldiers firing on citizens on several occasions, in several states.

How long would that go on? Would US soldiers actually engage in a long guerrilla war against their own countrymen? Sure, people do things in anger, in panic, or if suddenly ordered to do so. But give them a few months, time to sit around, talk to each other and say, "That guy I shot ... he was just like my Dad. I mean: exactly like my Dad."

I can picture a small number of short tragic incidents.
There is no possibility that the US Army will engage in anything like a prolonged effort to supress the citizens in this country. They won't do it.

I doubt that Obama is all that worried about the lower ranks of the miltary being willing to defend or destroy their fellow Americans. I expect Obama to Bengazi our troups so that he will have no opposition with his Homeland Security Army. So easy to start a war and abandon the field to allow the enemy to mop up your opposition.

Corrected version: NO place is suited to democracy because it really amounts to LEGALIZED mob rule.

The constitution guarantees a “republican” form of government to the states, no mention of democracy.

Any of the “top brass” can issue any order they want. That doesn’t mean that the troops out there or their immediate officers will follow any unconstitutional, unlawful or immoral command.

Any “top brass” who might say they will would probably find themselves looking over their shoulders in fear that they might be the “american” (traitor) that the troops fire on.

Thank you for your (lack of) support and faith in our service members. You obviously believe that the majority of them are mindless, ignorant, “conditioned” (brainwashed) and robotic; that they swear allegiance to the president and their senior leadership. They swear allegiance to the Constitution and to follow the LAWFUL orders of those appointed above them.

That is absolutely what happened and I’ve read about the details many times over the years. The guardsmen were barely trained (common at that time) and a few panicked when the shot was fired from the agitators. Google how many real students were shot at Kent State and how many in the crowd were not students, but outsiders.

In many ways you aren't. But many others have not turned from God. The problem is that those who have are wielding a disproportionate amount of power in politics and popular culture. It's time to push back, assert our ( i believe) majority Judaeo- Christian views and speak in the cause of righteousness. We need to lead the narrative in the culture wars, not continually play catch up. And , God help us we need to be ready to fight for our rights and the truth both figuratively and if needs be -literally.

PS your post sounds like defeatism. You are a child of the living God. You can do better than "nobody loves me, everybody hates me, i think i'll go eat worms"

they might be the “american” (traitor) that the troops fire on.

I'm reminded of Stonewall Jackson's speech at the very beginning of the first American Civil War. Prior to Virginia voting to secede, President Lincoln ordered states to raise troops in case actual rebellion broke out.

Jackson looked out at his men, wearing gray and butternut uniforms and said, "President Lincoln ordered Virginia to raise up 2 regiments. Tell the President we have done so!!"

I'm not defeatist. I was, however, pointing out reasons, why He wouldn't help the US.

I, personally, am saved. No matter what happens to this nation, I will not be lost.

I agree there are still many who have not turned away from Him--but unfortunately that number is shrinking. We cannot use government to sway people--the government reflects the culture, not the other way around.

I would love to lead the narrative in the culture wars--how do you suggest we do that? My personality, unfortunately, is not very extroverted. I'll support those who speak for Right, but I cannot speak publicly without making a fool of myself. I'm a lot like Moses in that regard :)

Yes indeed. Fragging would become a daily exercise.

What you hope from the military was a soldier in the old military who probably would not fire on his neighbors. The clown placed in office by a degenerate demographic has been busy creating an army of people who WOULD GLADLY fire on the American people. Welcome to the NEW army composed of lesbians, “Gays,” Third Worlders, females who while not lesbian consider themselves to be men and long for the status being a male brings. The aforementioned “soldier” as stated will gladly fire on Americans as “The Divine One” is the source of their position, pay and perks. He is one of them!

“...... the answer to that shocking question is yes.”

Neither the question or answer is “shocking”. Americans have always been more than willing to kill other Americans, the Civil War, the Branch Davidians, The Revolutionary War, and on and on.

Bill Clinton did it. Maybe a Freeper can chime in with more info. I don't recall the title of the questionnaire but Col. Geoff Metcalf of AM 650 in Sacramento reported it. It was given to Army recruits on several bases around the country that asked if they would fire on US civilian if so ordered. The news of it spread like fire and the Army soon retracted it.

In fact, Westboro is a family, not a church, they are not looking for new members. Kind of a shady way to discredit his opinion though.

They will follow all initial orders as no order will be a direct order to murder. Few have the guts to disobey senior officers and want to keep their job as any of us. Many are minorities or AA that would follow Zero to Hell. Very, very few would question initial orders, and not enough would to matter. The orders will be carried out. Those under about 26 years old aren’t mature enough to know what a lawful order is. They’ll do as they are told.

I had no idea of that. But this resident of our White House has handlers who tell the sock-puppet what to do.

And so far, I haven't seen a retraction or an apology.
