Why is Obama decimating the military while arming federal agencies?
Steadfast and Loyal ^ | Apr. 23 , 2014 | Allen West

Posted on 04/23/2014 9:14:28 PM PDT by LeoWindhorse

During the 2008 campaign, I recall then-Senator Obama stating, “We cannot continue to rely only 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.”

So, as we decimate our military, cut retiree and veteran benefits, and cut benefits to our military families, we are arming federal agencies. Why?

I don’t know about you, but I ain’t about to be a sheep heading to the slaughter.”

Just imagine SEIU Thugs with automatic weapons and shoot to kill orders.

I am. I see a supply train, and a shift in demographics.

In obama's own words:
“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.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
He doesn’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense.

The official name is National Civilian Community Corps. I think of it as the NATCCC, or more simply as the NatCs...

I’m afraid to say it is likely his ‘civilian security force’. Loyal to him, not to our country.

Yes let him arm them to the teeth and watch them turn on him when he least expects it. This possibility must keep him awake at night.

Why is an evil, anti-American thug weakening our country’s defense against outsiders and strengthening FedGov’s ability to crush civilians? I can’t imagine why.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Posse Comitatus Law.

The military cannot and will not act against its own citizens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

Obama is circumventing Posse Comitatus by arming federal agencies to enforce stste law. That means he can in effect used deadly military force against civilians.

SEIU thugs who used to be sporting red and blue gang colors, versus guys whose “gang” colors are Realtree and Mossy Oak? I know where my money is at.

Weren’t they all white guys? I stopped watching Babylon 5 because of that PC nonsense. I suspect Obama’s Red Guards will be forced to hire more diverse candidates...

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) now have armed agents.

They had armed agents before Obama came into office. West's case might be bolstered if we knew how many armed agents the BLM and the IRS and other agencies had before Obama came into office and how much that has increased since 2008.

"Awaking sleeping giant..."

You think that they would understand that, after 200K blue-state Connecticut gun owners defy registration laws and four-times that number of blue-state New York gun owners did the same.

We will not comply.

Federal agencies are loaded to the bear with armaments and government agents. Could the POTUS be looking for an armed confrontation and or battle with American citizens (ie Cliven Bundy) so he can declare martial law and postpone elections and/or extend his presidency (dictatorship)?

Well, If SEIU workers handled guns like they handle their jobs, most would be cleaning their ears with gun barrels, using them as back scratchers or door stops or shooting themselves.
Its the Gang Members that should sorry you. They are hardcore killers and wouldn’t mind killing a few whites.

Yep, the Military is sworn to protect the Constitution and the Feds are sworn to protect their leader.
