The way things are going, the DHS is going to be Obama’s not-so-secret version of the Gestapo ....
DH-Stapo....
According to the DHS, OWS are not terrotists, the TEA Party members are. And in spite of what the judas goats say to the contrary, they are itching to use some, if not all that ammo they purchased on us.
The original Tea Party people dressed up as Injuns, what should we dress up when we end up having to do mischeif...
Injuns is good just too watch the PC police go completely nuts.
Listening to Glenn Beck on the Blaze radio this morning, he said something and I was not sure if it is true. I hope some knowledgeable freeper can answer this.
Glenn said something to the effect that if you are questioned by DHS, that you CANNOT tell anyone or call an attorney, if you do, both you and your attorney can be put in jail. Something about a provision in the Patriot Act.
Is this true or did I misunderstand what he said, or is he (Glenn Beck) mistaken in his facts???
That is horrible if true! I knew the Patriot Act had terrible stuff in it, but wow. We are under the thumb of the Stasi already if that is true.
They were also talking about how there are now many DHS vehicles around the country that are now being labeled “POLICE” in large letters, with “DHS” in small letters below. Identifying themselves as a Federal police force.
“legal”... what does that mean?
Deriving just powers from the Constitution?
or
Able to enforce their will through the application or threat of deadly force?
For the list
DHS has prescribed in their training manuals to be cautious about potential domestic terrorists. That includes anyone in the TEA party, and particularly, anyone critical of the federal government. DHS is on guard.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
Hmmm.
LOL
Partially correct. It was put together to protect this country against illegal intruders. Yesterday afternoon, the Tea Party protesters were the "illegal intruders"...
I was thinking the same thing...It’s time we start pushing back.
“Let’s make sure it’s not done in a hot-headed way,
but in a cold, calculated way,
ie, on our terms, not theirs.”
Very sound advice. Bears repeating.
Well, that didn’t take long. I may have to shorten my estimate as to just how quickly this thing is going to get bloody. On an unrelated note, I see a little .308 ammo is starting to hit the shelves again.
I found this link in one of the comments below the article. My apologies if this has already been posted - the rule was enacted about 10 days ago. But it seems to be pertinent to this thread. I just posted a little bit of it and dont have time to read the rest. Seems to be giving the President the power to put the Armed Forces to work on American soil to “support” local authorities.
I just found this post on another blog last night regarding putting local law enforcement under federal control:
VIGILANCE!!!
While we are focused on the scandals, LOOK WHAT THE OTHER HAND IS DOING!!!!

Executive Summary
I. Purpose of the Regulatory Action
a. The purpose of this rule is to implement the statutory
requirements for the Department of Defense support of civilian law
enforcement agencies. This rule provides specific policy direction and
assigns responsibilities to Department of Defense key individuals
providing support to Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement
agencies, including response to civil disturbances within the United
States, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any territory or possession of the
United States or any other political subdivision thereof.
b. The legal authority for this rule is 10 U.S.C. 375,
``Restriction on participation by Military Personnel.’’
II. Summary of the Major Provisions of the Rule
a. Support in Accordance With the Posse Comitatus Act
The primary restriction on DoD participation in civilian law
enforcement activities is the Posse Comitatus Act. It provides that
whoever willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse
comitatus or otherwise to execute U.S. laws, except in cases and under
circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of
Congress, shall be fined under title 18, U.S.C., or imprisoned not more
than two years, or both. Section 182.6 (a) describes in detail the
assistance that the Department of Defense may and may not provide
civilian law enforcement agencies.
b. Support During Civil Disturbances
The President is authorized by the Constitution and laws of the
United States to employ the Armed Forces of the United States to
suppress insurrections, rebellions, and domestic violence under various
conditions and circumstances. Planning and preparedness by the Federal
Government, including the Department of Defense, for civil disturbances
is important due to the potential severity of the consequences of such
events for the Nation and the population. The employment of Federal
military forces to control civil disturbances shall only occur in a
specified civil jurisdiction under specific circumstances as authorized
by the President, normally through issuance of an Executive order or
other Presidential directive authorizing and directing the Secretary of
Defense to provide for the restoration of law and order in a specific
State or locality.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
There’s a reason DHS is buying enough ammunition to fight a war on American soil for 20 years.
Heil Barackula!!!! B-P Why do I keep thinking of “Blacula” from the movie of the same name when I say that? B-P
