There are a multitude of other law enforcement agencies with teams to protect power plants.
Nice strawman though.
Civil unrest? Hah.
HE is the civilian the military needs to protect us from.
After that chilly reception the narcissistic POS got at West Point,
there's no question about who they'll take their orders from.
The Government is NOT here to Protect you, the Government is here to SUBVERT you.
DESERVES A REPEAT A: He knows most of the military think he’s a POS and won’t go against their own people, and, B: He’s so stupid he thinks a bunch of civil servants can outgun the highly armed and sophisticated American public.
Plus he knows, one false move and the military can commandeer the WH, the Oval Office, and its occupants in a nanosecond.
// ...local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.” //
Local authorities may “Decline” => seems they’ve have internalized the lessons of the Ukraine.
Ultimately, they won’t use the military to do the dirty work. They will put the military in positions where they are compelled to do law enforcement. I can think of two ways.
First, they will put the military inbetween the people and what’s said to be some “vital infrastructure”. Put them in a line behind some barricade in the hope that cohesion will make for resolve.
Second, they will house existing prisoners on military bases to free us space for political dissidents (ie: you and me or any entity who’s loyalty is unknown). They’ll put these prisoners in a make shift tent camp, behind a fence and give the military orders to shoot to kill escaping felons.
“But I guess you’d rather have muzzies or some ALF/ELF econut waltz right into one or two of their plants and destroy them as well as half of the southeast instead?”
Typical private security with state and local back up would be
just fine. No need for a TVA swat, police or security
anything. Besides it’s the TVA, when do they do
anything right anyway.
If Bill Gertz is writing and framing it in this manner, then it is very credible in my opinion.
When the government is pushing tyranny full-bore, as it has been, I don't think the case can be made that certain kinds of civil disturbances would be "unexpected".
Yes. The part that really matters if even a small portion of the 20 will stand. I don't see it, or there would already be more pushback. If the '1' shows a demonstrated willingness to use it's weapons at every opportunity, and the '20' is unwilling even under the most extreme provocation, who will have their way?

All Republican governors (and honest Democrat governors, if there are any) should forbid any federal agency taking action against any of the state's citizens using armed force without the express permission of the local sheriff's department, to be granted only if the sheriff's department is unable to handle the task.
But this executive will CREATE the emergency...
Which is the key argument in favor of TERM LIMITS and NO PERKS.
It is indeed sad that we may be forced to pick soldiers off from ambush instead of thanking them for their service.
Beat them in court. One is dead and the other is well into her 80’s.
Hells bells, the lawn and garden shop down the road now has its own SWAT team.
The moment will be when each soldier decides to either break rank and go AWOL, or stay in formation. I am not so sure of the outcome, as once decided, the line has been drawn.
This should keep everyone awake at night. Shudder.
I don't know how long but I know the moment. It will be right before I am shot dead for refusing or saluting him with a middle finger and shouts of " Kiss my ass you Fascist!"
