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

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.”

Me neither, Sir. I will get my licks in before they chunk me in the clay.

" Why is Obama decimating the military while arming federal agencies?"

I thought it was pretty obvious: he wants to destroy America. This is just one part of the whole plan. I wish our non-representing representatives would proclaim that loudly and often. Expose the bastard.

Yep. It’s gonna be like Christmas, all the wonderful new toys.

Unless Obama sends out the entire contingent of U.S. Marines, I’m not too worried. All these Feddies are SWAT dynamic entry trained. As we saw at the Bundy ranch, that don’t do so well for open field operations.

Their math doesn’t add up.

Obama cannot suspend the Constitution. His office is derived from that Constitution, as are any Executive Orders he may issue. Suspending it suspends his own authority. He may attempt to do so, but no one is obligated to follow.

He also cannot extend his term in office, as it vacates him Jan 20, 2017. He also cannot suspend elections, as that is state controlled and ordained. Any attempt to do either would carry no legal weight and I expect ignored by most states.

Any official following him in the above actions will be committing treason and engaging in domestic terrorism. There will be no need for investigation or trial, they will be subject to summary field execution, simple as that.

As I said, unless Zero sends out the entire contingent of U.S. Marines, I’m not worried about a bunch of SWAT trained dynamic entry jockeys. They will be fodder in the open field, and we will have all their toys.

When they get serious about taking us out, they won’t send people... they’ll send drones. Good luck with that.

Ironic that those in the military become law enforcement officers. City, county, state, and federal agencies are loaded with ex military fags.

They don’t have enough drones, today, to do that. 10 or 20 years maybe. It’s gonna take alot of drones to take on 300 million people unless they’re planning to drop nukes.

Drones have to be fueled and armed, they have to take off and land, and they have to be piloted, which means they can be hijacked. Not to mention the bases they are flying out of can be taken over. The whole drone thing works great till they are turned against you.

baraq and his ilk are setting up this country for either an economic crash or a terrorist attack. At the point of either, he will have a domestic army loyal to him.
Decimating the military and militarizing federal agencies is one facet of the plan.

Rahm: never let a crisis go to waste.
Valerie Jarret: There will be hell to pay
baraq: Reward your friends and punish your enemies.

baraq has surrounded himself with like minded people who would have no problem turning armed federal agencies against the American people.

Hopefully nothing bad happens that will give them the excuse to turn on us. But if it does, the feds will have their hands full in ways they cannot comprehend.

Write legislators, demanding total disarmament of agencies not delegated as criminal law enforcement. If an agency needs enforcement regarding a criminal matter, they can duly route that task to the appointed agency (FBI, Federal Marshals, Secret Service, etc.). If an agency needs “backup” for a risky situation, they can request accompaniment of an armed enforcement agency, as a matter of dealing with any criminal situations that may arise (assault, etc) but NOT for bureaucratic enforcement thru deadly force. Leverage the separation of agencies to make sure the guys on the trigger believe they’re doing it for the right reason, and not just to expand their own power (to wit: “we’re not getting into a shootout with a rancher just because some fines are debatably owed”). If an armed agency won’t consent to providing support, the bureaucrats may exercise their own 2nd Amendment rights - knowing they are not empowered to use force to enforce anything beyond basic self-defense.

Circumventing “Posse Comitatus” by arming bureaucrats is absolutely unacceptable. That includes DHS, which should do no more than provide national coordination of state militias.

I take offense at your characterization of those that have served on our Armed Forces as “fags “

That is a really poor choice of words

that was about the idiotic decision to ‘retire’ the regular Army Aviation’s OH-58 armed observation choppers and replace those 58 squadrons that are found in all CAB’s with Apaches instead . The resource for those AH’s is the NG .

yet another extremely poor regime decision

Because patriotic Americans are Obama's enemies, not foreign despotic nations.

“Why is Obama decimating the military while arming federal agencies?”

Very simple. He’s replacing personnel who will not shoot civilians if ordered to do so, by personnel who will. It’s a no-brainer.

There’s no doubt in my mind that this is the overwhelming need of any communist regime headed by an 0P0S0!

“..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. “

That’s what I would like to know, but the truth is probably well hidden, and I certainly would not trust .gov for the truth.

I take offense to military offensive training being used against American citizens.

I wish the republicans and/or the Tea Party would bring this up every chance they can. Well, at least I can wish.
