Will the military be turned on US citizens?

There is some confusion regarding a law or EO supposedly passed by Biden that would allow the military to be used against American citizens in defiance of "Posse Comitatus". It was questioned by Joe Rogan on his podcast and led me to do some digging. Here is what I found... It is neither a law NOR an EO. It IS a DoD directive signed and approved by that idiot, Kathleen Hicks, Biden's Deputy Sec Def.

You will be surprised to find that our local and state police and our TRUE military will NEVER turn on their families, friends, neighbors and homes.

In China during the Tienanmen square incident, the local army would not attack the protestors. The Chinese leadership called in army units from a long distance, told them the city was in "Rebellion" and ordered them to crack down, which they did.

We also have the example of the Civil War, where Lincoln deliberately provoked an incident, told everyone *THEY* started it, and then convinced millions of men to invade other states and burn cities.

Yes, the military would follow orders to destroy civilians because they would be *TOLD* those civilians were in "rebellion" or "insurrection."

And the military would do it.

The government would make sure the military would suppress citizens that were not part of their immediate friends and families. Just strangers that they don't know.

That's how they did it in China, and that is how they would do it here too.

The most powerful army in the world once took on American Patriots…… and LOST.

King George III chose to stop fighting. He chose to stop the bloodshed.

Lincoln was more willing to shed blood, and so he kept it going till 750,000 people were killed, and the dominance of corrupt Washington DC was established.

The orders may come but they will not be carried out by combat arms service men. Bank on it. Nobody under flag or senior O-4/5 and E-6 and above rank will follow that order.

Yes they would. They would be lied to about the nature of the threat, and the civilians would be presented as dangerous terrorists intent on killing innocent people.

The idea would be made to seem good and reasonable when it was conveyed to the troops, and all other sources of information would be kept from them.

Anyone not following orders would be relieved of duty and prosecuted. After they had done it a few times, it would become routine.

Yep! But the answer is yes they would turn on the American people in a heartbeat. Why do you think they try to weave their woke agenda into the military? Our military, not all of it, but majority are so incredible messed up by this demonic administration that at the drop of a dime if they were given orders to go knock on patriot doors and drag them out and shoot them they would. Because they have taken an oath to defend and protect this nation. Remember who runs the DC swamp cabal (just think back what plastic Pelosi did on J6, that speak volumes)they are the ones that make the decisions. The J6 fiasco and hoax against Americans should have opened a lot of eyes. And their minions have seared into the brains of many of our young military men/women that we the MAGA hitler fascists etc are an enemy labeled as domestic terror threats to America …so yes I believe they would hunt us down like dogs if we ever get to that stage! Sad but true. History has a bad habit of repeating itself.

In California, illegals can be police officers. I wonder if the DOD could ‘deputize’ illegals as US Marshals?

Sort of explains what the millions of fighting age single men being brought across our Southern border are for. Crooked Joe could just draft them all.
Bingo! They would do it.

Yes....the military will follow their pensions...

I have said for yrs that military should never have defined pensions..401ks only that they can take with them..

we don't need nor want the kind of military that is beholding to a corrupt govt.

infact no govt workers leadership on down should have defined pensions...its a sure way to have a lazy corrupt govt.

The DoD will turn internally in a second.

Some parts will and some parts won't and then all hell will break loose. The carnage that follows would leave the country in taters.

I think this is the dems plan from the start.

Bingo! That is the take-away.

Moreover, scholars claim that group of Patriots was less than the 80% of the American population.

That is to say 80% wished to sit out the conflict or were aligned in some way with the most powerful army.

Ergo, they may be able to capture the popular vote or thwart the Electoral College but there just isn't enough of them.

Thank you for some common sense. A major point of fear for these dreadful elitist pigs is the guns and ammo flying off the shelves.

No need. They have countless foreign males here to do as they need.

That is most certainly in play along with the possible use foreign troops and UN involvement in putting down the "unrest".

Counter that with the number of those of both our government and military who will be able to read the writing on the wall and protect America.

Here is a summary from Co-Pilot AI (further pruned by Yours Truly):

There is confusion about a supposed law or executive order (EO) by President Biden that would allow the military to be used against American citizens, defying the Posse Comitatus Act. It turns out that it is neither a law nor an EO, but a Department of Defense (DoD) directive, specifically DoD Directive 5240.01, signed by Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks.

The directive outlines conditions under which the Defense Intelligence Components can conduct or support covert activities. The directive also includes provisions for the use of force in situations where it is reasonably foreseeable that lethal force may be involved, and support to civilian law enforcement in anticipated confrontations.

The summary concludes with a strong opinion against those perceived as wanting to control the country, asserting that local and state police, as well as the military, will remain loyal to the Constitution rather than any political party.

RE: To the question WILL the military be turned on US citizens....

One case.
Why Eisenhower Sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock After Brown v. Board
When the governor of Arkansas failed to integrate Central High School, President Eisenhower called in federal troops to protect the Little Rock Nine.


Another.
Governor George W. Romney ordered the National Guard into Detroit on July 24, 1967, after the Detroit police and state police were overwhelmed by the rioting. The National Guard’s mission was to protect property and shoot looters if necessary.

Herbert Hoover used the military, led by Douglas MacArthur, against ww1 vets. The bonus army.
For used the military to roundup citizens and illegally put them in concentration camps. Japanese Americans.
So yes it can be done

Thanks.

“ The directive also includes provisions for the use of force in situations where it is reasonably foreseeable that lethal force may be involved, and support to civilian law enforcement in anticipated confrontations.”

I guess that’s they key.
