Biden-Harris admin approves military use of lethal force on US citizens: Report
American Military News ^ | 10/25/2024 | TIMOTHY FRUDD

The Department of Defense (DOD) is facing significant backlash after releasing DOD directive 5240.01, which took effect on September 27. The Biden-Harris administration’s latest DoD directive has been accused of authorizing the U.S. military to use lethal force against American citizens.

The directive gives the Pentagon authority to approve “assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury.”

The DoD directive also “includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated.”

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently spoke out against the Pentagon directive, saying, “The Biden-Harris administration has done something two weeks ago that has never been done in American history, which is to send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law to make it legal for the U.S. military to be used to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil…”

Actually, it violates Posse Comitatus, and would require legislation.
Any court, except those run by democrat judges, would stop it.

This totally smacks of what happened in Venezuela and Maduro’s response to losing his election. Anyone disagree?

Of course. Every accusation the Democrats make is a divulgence of what they themselves are up to.

You can tell exactly what they are doing and what they intend to do by their accusations.

They're not terribly complicated.

Once, when I said, of a very evil man whom I knew rather well, "I don't understand him; I don't think I'll ever understand him," a very wise sage replied to me: "Oh he's easy to understand. Psychopaths are easy to understand."

Now imagine the kind of people who would be attracted like a magnet to the wealth and power of a place like Washington. You see--they're easy to understand.

All the while the NY Slimes accuses a Trump Presidency of planning this.

Wake up, America! Democraps actually DO what they accuse Conservatives of doing.

In a Thursday statement to The Associated Press, Pentagon spokeswoman Sue Gough said, “The policies concerning the use of force by DOD addressed in DoDD 5240.01 are not new, and do not authorize the DOD to use lethal force against U.S. citizens or people located inside the United States, contrary to rumors and rhetoric circulating on social media.” Really? Reissues and Cancels: DoD Directive 5240.01, “DoD Intelligence Activities,” August 27, 2007, as amended
Incorporates and Cancels: DoD 5240.1-R, “Procedures Governing the Activities of DoD Intelligence Components that Affect United States Persons,” December 7, 1982, as amended
Sure looks new to me. 3.4. APPROVAL CONSIDERATIONS (c) clearly says "Lethality". c. The approval authority will consider these factors:
(1) Lethality.
The extent to which the assistance to be provided involves the potential use of lethal force.
Sounds like lethal force to me, if approved.

This must be why the Swamp is talking so much about Trump using the military against the American people. It’s what THEY are planning to do.
