A great idea——use Sec. 3.4.c.(1) of Biden/Harris’ Dept of Defense Directive 5240.01
specifying lethal means, to remove the human debris Biden/Harris welcomed into the USA illegally-—
the gangs, pedos, mental cases, murderers, thieves, causing chaos in our communities.

Is it untrue like “SCOTUS ruled Trump can commit all manner of crimes while President” or untrue because they just say so? I see and hear lies about Trump every day on TV, so why should I believe their denials? Um, I mean “fact checking”.

Check out the Board of Directors’ resumes, in their About page. Generally Lefty journalists, one of which “served” in the Obama administration.

Yeah there were a bunch of bootlicker apologists trying to do damage control when it was first posted here on the 19th. “Don’t pay any attention to this”, “Clickbait garbage trash post!”, “It doesn’t say what you think it says”

OH YES IT DOES!

This is one of the most important and serious issues this forum and our Republic has ever faced... This is military rule with deadly force against civilians that can be implemented at the drop of a hat by the President and Secretary of Defense.

Yes. It does… it literally authorizes deadly force against Americas in a declared emergency. It’s in black and white.

When local pols severely feel the pain it will stop. Not before. Protest all you want. They don’t care.

Long discussion here from the other day.

DOD DIRECTIVE 5240.01 DOD INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT ASSISTANCE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER CIVIL AUTHORITIES (Revised 9/27/24)
Department of Defense ^ | 9/27/24
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4271805/posts

I do believe my reading comprehension is just fine.

You see, they NEED this. Why?

Because the police no longer have any duty to the individual or community at large.

Do Police Have a Duty To Protect Individuals?

Start putting puzzle pieces together and you realize Marital Law is coming soon. And make no mistake...all them illegals...yeah if citizens loose their minds over the election we are opening the door for the chaos to follow.

We’re days out from the election and their strategy is being revealed, hold the line folks...just hold the line. For those older FReepers who refuse to believe this is true, I am sorry but those days are long gone. It is hard to believe I know. Been on FR a long time and recall discussion that the military would never obey such orders, now? I still here comments that rank and file wouldn’t follow an unlawful order...thing again. The military has been purged and recruitment is down for a good reason.

Secretary of Defense can approve use of lethal force. 3.3.a.c, 3.5.c.1

...just six weeks before the election and the same day Hurricane Helene slammed into the Southeast—struck right-wing misinformation merchants as suspicious.

"MISINFORMATION" IS THE CODE WORD FOR 'RIGHT WINGERS HAVE AN OPINION DIFFERENT THAN OURS.

9,000 TROOPS WERE TRAINED TO TARGET CHRISTIANS BEFORE THIS DOD DIRECTIVE. The U.S. Army had a training program that put “evangelical Christians, Catholics and Mormons in the same category of religious extremism as we do al-Qaida.” https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2013/may/03/randy-forbes/forbes-says-army-training-program-listed-evangelic/

My question is if warhorse is not full of 💩 where is the proof?

Can anyone show a DOD policy quote that specifically prohibits deadly force on civilians.]?

Surely there is some lawyer here that works for the DOD.

Awareness Ping - The intent and " "The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01."
The possible use of lethal force against U.S. citizens by the military

Eli Kopter : "A rogue DOJ can take any of the laws and either twist them or disregard them.
They have proven that since Obama came into office (and accelerated under Biden-Harris).
It is possible that they can take this new rule and use it if Harris does not certify a Trump victory.
Is that the plan? Trump wins and Harris refuses to certify, and then a false flag operation begins in Washington D.C. and the Military is invoked.
She could declare Martial Law and Biden would remain President for as long as they like
(or invoke the 25th Amendment on Biden and assume leadership as a 'caretaker government')."

(From the complete article) :" Just as former president Donald Trump told Fox News last week that he wanted to use the U.S. military
to “handle” what he called the “enemy from within” on Election Day, an obscure military policy was beginning to make the rounds on social media platforms favored by the far right."

"The focus? Department of Defense Directive 5240.01.
The 22-page document governs military intelligence activities
and is among more than a thousand different policies that outline Defense Department procedures."

"The Pentagon updated it at the end of September. Although military policies are routinely updated and reissued,
the timing of this one—just six weeks before the election and the same day Hurricane Helene slammed into the Southeast—struck right-wing misinformation merchants as suspicious."

"They latched onto a new reference in the updated directive—“lethal force”—and soon were falsely claiming that the change means
Kamala Harris had authorized the military to kill civilians if there is unrest after the election."

"That’s flat-out not true, the Pentagon and experts on military policy told The War Horse."

"“The provisions in [the directive] are not new, and do not authorize the Secretary of Defense to use lethal force against U.S. citizens,
contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media,” Sue Gough, a Department of Defense spokesperson, said Wednesday night"

I find that far more feasible than any other claims, especially considering the times in the past where the government has targeted civilians who won't blow down to their intimidation tactics.

Cakles doesn’t “do” anything, People above her winder up.

Until something happens, no one knows what this DoD is meant for. Trump said very recently that if there is civil unrest, the military and NG will take care of it. He wasn’t even slightly perturbed. Any “civil unrest” will be engineered by the Demsheviks and their minions/contracted thugs etc. WE are not going to do any crap.

“Who the H*LL is The War Horse and why would the Pentagon and “experts” jump to respond to them?????”

A Military propaganda outlet that hides behind a Veteran cause.
