Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Obama...
“warmup acts”
From the article:
““Federal action, including the use of federal military forces, is authorized when necessary to protect the federal property or functions,” the directive states.”
There was also this:
“Other agencies with SWAT teams reportedly include the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department.”
When the government starts claiming that everything is part of a federal function or that all property is under some kind of federal control, get ready to duck.
And why would the Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Education, or the Consumer Product Safety Commision need SWAT teams?
Time for a “Seven Days in May”, this time with a happy ending!
PS: Just how bright can these guys be to take another action calculated to piss off millions of guys and gals trained at great expense by fedzilla to kill people and break chit?
Time to retest the water system in D.C.? Something’s making them all nucking futs.
In the novel IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, one of the first moves of the new Fascist president was to order Army arsenals to issue firearms to members of his "marching clubs."
Or as he calls them teachers.
Obama’s socialist revolution in the making. Neuter the military, militarize the police, and arm up all of the alphabet soup agencies under control of the executive branch, and use funds stolen from said agencies along with financial backing of the one-percenters, and you have a nice coup in the making. It’s crazy enough that it might just work. All of the evidence points in this direction.
I believe the clown talked about a domestic security force equal to the military.
They have to obliterate those defective child auto safety seats somehow!
There was an interesting post on another thread a while back laying out a hypothetical 2-3 week scenario starting with the first night of kick in the doors gun confiscation.
Truth is that even all of this massive swat capability can only go after an extremely limited portion of the gun owning population in a single night. Night two gets really interesting since gun owners are now alerted and ready. Night three and four you start seeing organized ambushes and the distinct possibility that law enforcement will cease to participate - even flip sides. The hypothetical eventually ended up with assassinations of politicians and media figures AND (perhaps most significantly) the curtailment of food shipments into urban and even suburban areas.
IOW a society-changing nightmare scenario with an enormous amount of bloodshed that no one actually wants.
You have nailed it pretty well. Add to the mix the near certainty that the grid will be put down in the area of conflict and half the enraged population will be firing two and going home and it will be a disaster for the govt.
“A U.S. official said the Obama administration considered but rejected deploying military force under the directive during the recent standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his armed supporters”
Somebody in his circle was likely smart enough to ask Obumbles if he was ready for CWII. That’s all it would take at this point.
All the signs (government establishment of swat teams in departments like Agriculture and Post Office and huge weapons and ammo buys)indicate that the government feels there is a need to protect itself against citizens or an unnamed threat from outside.
What is the threat? Can’t Congress find out if it is legitimate?
“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” — Plato
The threat
is a population that is capable of saying No!
to the government… and having both the means and will to enforce that declaration.
The Boehner-funded, Commander in Chief Obama’s latest Grand Bargain is to assign the US Military to mercilessly attack the Settled Science of the Climate Change Weapon of Mass Destruction.
This Grand Bargain Announcement by Commander in Chief Obama was greeted by the 2014 Graduation Class at West Point with a 25 % standing ovation.
IOW, a future 75 % reduction in force of the newly commissioned Army officers from West Point.
Over the years, Doormat Republican Speaker Boehner has been able to fund all of the Democrats’ Commander in Chief Obama’s Military decisions.
Speaker Boehner has thus been essential to helping Obama to lead from the bottom of a Socialist, Group Hug, Hell Hole.
Speaker Boehner should indeed be in line for a promotion by Arrogant Commander in Chief Obama.
Over the years, Boehner has doubled the taxpayer dollars sent to the failed Veterans Administration.
The rumor that a grateful, but still Arrogant, Obama is considering promoting Boehner to be in charge of the Veterans Administration has yet to be confirmed.
You may be right. But is there a Congress committee that can look into this and get to their policy decision on the threat that citizens pose?
Congress is perhaps too cowardly to put their intentions so clear and overtly stated.
Consider how they do their little hand-wringing song-and-dance when confronted with unpopular policies, especially when they can do something about it — the Federal Reserve, the NSA's domestic espionage, judicial overreach, or executive overreach.
Thanks I think you are right.
Obama is withdrawing the military from Afghanistan in order to deploy them agains’t the real threat the American public.
