The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) proposes that the U.S. Army be used to plan, command, and carry out (with the help of civilian law enforcement) domestic police missions. So says a story appearing in the May/June issue of the influential organization’s official journal, Foreign Affairs. The article lacks a single reference to the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits such actions. In an article penned by Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Raymond T. Odierno, the CFR would see the Army used to address “challenges in the United States itself” in order to keep the homeland safe from

Another thing historically illiterate pofs , guess who America was named after?
The Act prohibits the use of the military to enforce any federal law. Force Bills passed later on permitted the use of federal troops to protect civil rights and liberties when the state and local govt has abandoned such protection. This would be the 101 Airborne in Little Rock.

Most of the examples cited were during the Civil War or very near to it when the times were characterized by a pre civil war or post civil war state while this Nation was at war with itself.
I believe that the others were actually National Guard units of the respective states themselves, not regular Army units, although the clearing of the bonus marchers may have been done by regular Army since it was on or near the Capital Grounds and the District of Columbia has no National Guard to speak of.
The President can call out the State(s) National Guard(s).
Deploying and using regular military forces within US soil during peacetime is a whole other turning of the worm.
isn’t there a law against the military being used as cops?
Would that be the Republicrats and the Demublicans?
We lost our country when Obama was elected even though the entire political elite knew Obama was a fraud and allowed him entrance into the White House anyway.
That law is utterly useless. Its only purpose is to lull people into a sense of safety.
US Constitution Art 1, Sec 8 [portions]As you can see, the Constitution explicitly allows for military enforcement of domestic laws.
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
Especially when we're apparently being given Morton's Fork for this election.
Our choices are Obama (not an NBC) or Romney (not an NBC); this will be used to provide precedent for declaring the NBC clause 'outdated' and destroy what little authority the Constitution still holds.
Irish/Mexican... and from a wealthy family. Obviously.
Well not after Eisenhower federalized the National Guard and integrated Little Rock Schools.
You're pretty quick on the uptake there... Almost as quick as you are to insult another American's ethnic heritage.
“the CFR is an enemy organization made up of traitors?”
Oh, I’ve known that for quite some time. Even some of the GOP prez candidates from a year ago were either on it or have close buds in it. If this were 1776, they would all be hanged.
"CFR & U.S. Army Chief of Staff: Use Army for Domestic Enforcement." . "Thousands of Communists and Neo-Nazis clash in streets of Hamburg." . . "Chicago Police Video: "You First Amendment Rights Can Be Terminated" (Brownshirts).
1932 and 2012 parallels?
Senator Obama was nearly 17 minutes into his July 2, 2008 speech in Colorado Springs, Colorado when he deviated from his pre-released script and performed without the teleprompter net saying:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Continual
Fascist
Repression
READ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - WHO DOES THIS SOUND LIKE?
* He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
* He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
* He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
* He {intends to keep} among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
* He {intends to render} the military independent of and superior to civil power.
* He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...
* For depriving us in many {future} cases, of the benefits of trial by jury...
* He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless ... savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
* In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Give em an inch and they will take a hundred miles.
No, make that a million miles.
Friggin no good bastards!
Funny they won’t use Federal troops to protect the border.
