Biden's militarized executive agencies
American Thinker.com ^ | October 2, 2021 | Robert A. Bishop

The Obama-Biden administration stockpiled an arsenal of high-powered weapons in the Executive Branch based on the vision of a civilian national security force. The stockpile can outfit an army. The Biden regime controls the trigger to the arsenal.

"We cannot continue to rely 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 said on July 2, 2008.

Non-profit OpentheBooks released a comprehensive oversight report earlier this year titled "The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies" (here). The report estimated "that there are now more federal officers with firearm authority (200,000+) than U.S. Marines (186,000)." It's the fulfillment of Obama's well funded prophecy.

There is clearly no legal authority, requirement, or reason for general administrative agencies, like the Internal Revenue Service, whose power is limited to implementing laws, to have weapons. Biden plans on expanding the IRS by 87,000 workers. Will their audit training include marksmanship?

Accountability isn't a strength of the federal government. The Pentagon never passed its 2017 audit, nor could the Department of Defense document $22 trillion in expenditures. Not a vote of confidence when it comes to the executive agencies protecting the decentralized stockpiles of firearms and ammunition. Weapons could easily fall into the hands of vigilantes like Antifa. Given the Biden administration's top-down revolution, it is not unthinkable for agencies to intimidate citizens in gun-toting confrontations, conduct government purges, or supply military-grade weapons to a civilian national security force (paramilitary).

The Taliban and its 30,000 “ragheads” and its highly effective tactics sent the US military packing.

The Taliban controlled the countryside of Afghanistan and its food supply.

Partner, I will have to agree with you.

Why did Obama close the last lead plant in the U.S. before he left office.

We must continue to stockpile ammo and a lot of guns.

Biden is carrying out Obama's 3rd term.

When we have more voters than people registered is when you will find a lot of corruption in the state.

Gleichschaltung!: The term is a German word that means “coordination” or “synchronization.”

The Nazi Party came to power in 1933 and quickly began trying to control all aspects of society. This internal consolidation of power to remake Germany as a Nazi state was known as Gleichschaltung. The term is a German word that means “coordination” or “synchronization.” Under Gleichschaltung, German political, social, and cultural life were rearranged to serve Nazi goals.

Gleichschaltung is the German term applied to the Nazification of German society following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933. Once Hitler became chancellor, he and the Nazi Party sought to “coordinate” all political, social, and cultural institutions with the Nazi state.

This “coordination” was done in the name of national unity. However, it allowed the Nazi Party to extend its power by creating a single party state. Everything was subject to coordination: local government, professional organizations, social clubs, leisure activities—even those for children.

The state enforced coordination from the top-down. At the same time, many Germans responded with a bottom-up coordination of their own. This was known as Selbstgleichschaltung. Even Hitler was surprised with the speed and ease of remaking Germany. He noted “everything is going much faster than we ever dared to hope.”1

Creating a Single Party State:

One of the primary goals of coordination was the creation of a single party state entirely under Nazi control. In January 1933, Hitler became chancellor. At the time, Germany was still a multi-party state. The country was led by a popularly elected representative government. The following month, the Reichstag (German parliament building) burned down by arson. The Nazis seized the chance to act. They blamed the Communist Party. On February 28, 1933, they issued the Reichstag Fire Decree. The measure suspended the protections for civil rights, free speech, and due process in the German Constitution.2

On April 7, the German government issued the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service (Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums), which excluded Jews and political opponents from all civil service positions.

View Archival DetailsOn March 24, 1933, Hitler succeeded in passing the Enabling Act. The act gave the Reich Chancellor (Hitler) the ability to pass laws without consulting the Reichstag. He was able to do so even if those laws conflicted with the German Constitution. This effort effectively ended parliamentary democracy in Germany.3

Hitler had succeeded in securing control of the national government. He passed two additional laws to reconstitute state-level governments under Nazi control. These laws dissolved existing state governments. The law also appointed a Reichsstatthalter (Reich governor) for each state. The Reichsstatthalter reported directly to Wilhelm Frick, the Reich Minister of the Interior. Each was responsible for implementing Nazi policy within their state.

The next target in this process was the civil service. Hitler issued the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service on April 7, 1933. The measure dismissed all Jews and political opponents of Nazis from the civil service. It covered every employee at every level of government administration. Further, it applied to numerous other positions not considered part of the civil service in many countries. For example, it covered judges, teachers, university professors, and lawyers. Many people, especially Jews and Communists, lost their jobs and retirement benefits. Many other people rushed to join the Nazi Party in order to protect their jobs in a time of high unemployment. All those who joined were not necessarily doing so from political conviction.

Hitler had gained control of the national and local governments. He had also secured a government workforce purged of all potential opposition. The Nazi Party could now declare Germany a single party state. On July 14, 1933, the party issued The Law Against the Founding of New Parties. It declared, “The National Socialist German Workers Party is the only political party in Germany.”4 Membership in other political parties, such as the Social Democratic Party or the Communist Party, became illegal. Members of these parties were targeted by the Nazis. Some fled the country or went underground. Within six months, Hitler and the Nazi Party had managed to gain complete control over the German state. They had eliminated all formal political opposition.

Coordinating Economic, Social, and Cultural Life:
Absolute political power was not enough. The Nazi Party sought complete control over economic, social, and cultural life in Germany as well. All labor unions were abolished in May 1933, replaced by the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF, or German Labor Front). The DAF created a single overarching labor union. Essentially all German workers and employees in every economic sector belonged to the DAF. For example, farmers were coordinated into the Reich Food Estate. While traditional unions prioritized workers’ rights, the DAF emphasized national economic goals above personal well-being.

In September 1933, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels created the Reich Culture Chamber. It coordinated literature, music, theater, radio, film, fine arts, and the press. Only artists and writers belonging to its affiliated bodies could continue in their professions. Groups that were previously organized under political parties or labor unions—such as sports teams, music groups, and craft associations—were disbanded. The ones that remained were organized under the Nazi Party. Scouting organizations for children were also Nazified. A 1934 law made the Hitler Youth the only legal youth group in Germany.5 In 1939, participation became mandatory. All German children became exposed to Nazi ideology from an early age.

Even leisure time was coordinated according to Nazi principles in the Strength through Joy (Kraft durch Freude) program. The program was a division of the German Labor Front. Strength through Joy offered subsidized tourism packages, music lessons, art classes, fitness opportunities, and sponsored theater and concert tickets.

Conclusion:

Gleichschaltung was a process of coordination. It was designed to bring all aspects of German life under Nazi control. From the single party state to the German Labor Front to the Nazi-approved leisure activities offered by Strength through Joy, almost no part of German life remained untouched by Nazism.

The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.

And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?

So the Biden Gestapo needs to dry up the ammo for the civilians, much like Obama did.

Jan 6 has been twisted into the US “Reichstag” fire. The US Hate Anerica Communist/Nazis seized the chance to act. They blamed Trump and his followers. They suspended the protections for civil rights, free speech, and due process.

January 6 Insurrection Hoax

Thanks for this great link.

The January 6 Insurrection Hoax
September 2021 • Volume 50, Number 9 • Roger Kimball

The indisputable fact about January 6 is that although five people died at or near the Capitol on that day or soon thereafter, none of these deaths was brought about by the protesters. The shot fired by Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd that hit Ashli Babbitt in the neck and killed her was the only shot fired at the Capitol that day. No guns were recovered from the Capitol on January 6. Zero.

The liberal commentator Glenn Greenwald further diminished the “armed insurrection” narrative in an important column last February titled “The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot.”

The title says it all. Kevin Greeson, Greenwald notes, was killed not by the protesters but died of a heart attack outside the Capitol. Benjamin Philips, the founder of a pro-Trump website called Trumparoo, died of a stroke that day. Rosanne Boyland, another Trump supporter, was reported by The New York Times to have been inadvertently “killed in a crush of fellow rioters during their attempt to fight through a police line.”

But later video shows that, far from that, the police pushed protesters on top of Boyland and would not allow other protesters to pull her out.

Four of the five who died, then, were pro-Trump protesters. And the fifth? Well, that was Officer Sicknick—also a Trump supporter, as it turned out—who, contrary to the false report gone viral of The New York Times, went home, told his family he felt fine, but died a day later from, as The Washington Post eventually and grudgingly reported, “natural causes.” No fire extinguishers were involved in his demise.
