Obama strips our military while building own militia
The Lowell Sun ^ | April 17, 2014 | Blossom Stiefel

It is the responsibility of the federal government to protect the United States from "invasion."

How is it possible that top administration officials have directed 21,000 border patrol officers to retreat or distance themselves and seek cover in response to thrown or hurled projectiles from illegal aliens or drug smugglers? They are directed to keep their weapons holstered when drug smugglers drive by, and agents can't use guns against a fleeing vehicle. Instructions also indicate that officers will be penalized if they don't step back.

The new rules were issued this March by Michael Fisher, chief of U.S. Border Patrol. In a news conference, Fisher told reporters that our agents would be equipped with short-range tasers and pepper spray plus medium-range pellet guns, to deter attacks.

With all of these restrictions, how can we protect our borders? How are we protecting our own Border Patrol people? Does this Administration even think about protecting Americans?

Americans embrace and encourage legal immigration. We have laws for people to acclimate to American society. The first rule is recognition and respect for the rule of law. Crossing the border illegally makes a person a criminal, but the Border Patrol now is forced to ignore this crime.

Curiously, at the same time, President Obama is building a nonmilitary "national security force" -- the one he referenced when he said the following in his 2008 campaign: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national-security objectives 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."

Obama is purging our military of generals and officers, cutting our military budget and advocating gun control, but building a vast arsenal of weapons and ammo under DHS. Border agents have the most dangerous job in federal law enforcement; if they are being told to refrain from using lethal force on the job, why is DHS hoarding bullets? According to a new General Accounting Office report, the DHS is planning on buying a huge amount of ammunition ? 703 million rounds through fiscal year 2018.

It's not only Homeland Security; other agencies are becoming more and more militarized under Obama's watch. Domestic agencies having nothing to do with national defense, such as the Department of Education, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Postal Service, and the Social Security Administration are also stockpiling ammunition and weaponry.

Obama's strategy: Take away guns from innocent citizens so they can't fight back, shred the Constitution, defile the military, and build your own shadow army through federal agencies.

George Washington said: "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

All part of the long term plan don't you know?

“If it’s under the control of the federal government, it’s not a militia.”

That’s right, but instead of voting like military personnel they’ll vote like Motor Vehicle Services workers...

The military can’t be trusted to enforce martial law, they’ll be confined to base practicing “readiness”. If they were armed, they might breakout and go renegade -which would be bad for the China shop swap teams. When somebody shows up wearing a US flag badge they deserve sworn too -it will be a bad day for the local tacti-cool union city cops.

It certainly does look like Obama is planing to uses all theses Domestic agency as a series of armies to impose domestic control.

Not unlike the Armed BLM at the Bundy Ranch. BLM had no business welding armed sounders and guns. If they wanted to arrest Bundy they should have had the justice department do so.

There was absolute no excuse for them confronting the protesters.

I am increasingly of the opinion that Obama is planning something that will allow him to stay in the White House past Jan 2017, and that’s why he needs to militarize the DHS and other agencies.

When the Nazi SS trooper was selected, he was given a dog to train. At the completion of his training, he was required to kill his dog. If he could do that, he could follow any order given to him. Same thing here.

My best advice is start gathering intell on the government thugs.

The thought that the tables can be turned on them doesn’t enter their tiny liberal minds as they move around in packs terrorizing the citizenry.

You're both wrong. While the militias belong to the ‘various states’, which appoint their officers, Congress determines their equipping and discipline, and ‘determines the conditions for calling up the militia.’ The President, as Commander-in-Chief, commands the militia when it is in Federal service. Moreover, the Draft registration is, in effect, a National Enrolled Militia, subject to call up at the discretion of Congress.

The US Constitution, and the Constitutions and Militia Laws of the various states make it clear that the militia is a part of the state, or rather of the nation and the people. “We the People of the United States...” Remember?

Thanks very much for the ping, JJ!

It becomes more and more obvious, day-by-day, that this misbegotten bastard has no intention of relinquishing power on 20 Jan 2017.
