Civilian Expeditionary Workforce (DoD Directive 1404.10)

Have a look at DoD Directive 1404.10:

Is this where Chairman Obama's mysterious 600,000 new jobs will be created? Does this remind anyone else of Germany in the first half of the 20th Century? Are we going to see brown shirts and black armbands in the near future?

DoD auditor who shuttles from Baghdad to Mosul to Balad has a dangerous job nearly equal any uniformed soldier in the AOR.

Actually, today it's more dangerous for the DoD civilians, since Iraq is firing his Blackrock 'contractors'.

You like taking words out of context do you?
Try to stay on topic.

As for the rest, speak for yourself.

When he announced his candidacy, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
As he outlined his political platform, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he won the DhimmiRat nomination, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he was elected, we said “Not time to worry...yet.”
When he announced the Porkumongous Spending bill we said “Not time to worry...yet.”

I don't recall anyone here at FreeRepublic saying "Not time to worry...yet" about any of your points, maybe I missed your comments.

Most of us have been quite concerned over Obama's Marxist beliefs and his "assention" to the throne.

He is already beginning to crack. Republicans in the House stood firmly together for the first time in my memory. He has had his offer of negotiation with Iran thrown back in his face by the Iranians saying what Conservatives have known they would say all along, that it is a sign of American weakness.

Some of us have been shouting from the rafters for a considerable period of time.

On the other hand, talking of revolution:

"It’s time to refresh the tree of Liberty, IMO."

Is both premature and counter-productive. It also implies a certain lack of perspective and displays contempt for our constitution and our form of government.

We live in a democratically elected republic and elections do have consequences however undesirable they may be. We survived Johnson, Carter and Clinton; we will survive Obama as well.

Until Obama and the Democrats actually attempt something extra-constitutional, like taking away our RTKBA or free speech or begin to deploy troops against our own citizens, talk of "refreshing the tree of liberty" is foolish and dangerous. It feeds right into their trap.

[Sudetenland]

Man, you said it. Reynolds aluminum stock must be shooting up on record sales. The tin is flying out there.

[Rappini]

I’m glad that I’m not alone.

[maine-iac7]

You post “Congress will have to pass a law over-ruling posse comitatus before they can deploy military within the US.”

Not time to worry...yet”

And this attitude is what got us a president ‘bama... It's past time to worry.

They WILL be deployed inside the US. Get a Q-tip, clean out your ears and listen real close....
he laid it out in plain English long before the election - had enough people “worried” THEN, we wouldn't be facing this now - it's going to get very ugly...

I'm having trouble with the links to the You Tube videos of ‘bama announcing his new police force - don't know if it's because people are finally curious enough to look at them - this has been all morning, and now, I'm having trouble even getting to You Tube itself. (I am having NO trouble with any other videos on other programs, like hulu.) So to watch the videos get the links from my post # 8

Do NOT be surprised to, in the not to distant future, see You Tube shut down or it's contents controlled.

[Know et al]

The same reason George W. Bush had one.

To support the military and warfighting mission.

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

And, what was this expeditionary force of civilians called?
And why would Obama ask for something that already exists?

[Sudetenland]

Yeah, we better worry...only a century ago the government moved to stop a growing war between a bunch of violent mineworkers who were attacking "scabs" (a really contemptible and hateful term for innocent people willing to work for wages and under conditions that the strikers weren't) and the Colorado National Guard, thereby preventing even greater loss of life. They did it by deploying federal troops.

That really worries me. Why, they have been using troops against us constantly since then...not.

A lot of things were done back in the early 20th century that wouldn't be tolerated today. Fascism was a growing threat and civil liberties were violated regularly. I hardly think there will be a return to those days. Today the skunks use more subtle means.

It's the courts and our own legislators we should be worrying about and politics is the tool for victory, not revolution.

Get a grip.

[Eagle Eye]

Damn right and he might be unarmed at that.

[Sudetenland]

I see you are another of those who are uncomfortable living in a freely elected democratic republic.

I don't care for the policies or plans that Obama is pursuing, but until it violates our Constituion, it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution.

The way to fight back is to get politically active and get good people elected: then make them toe the line through letter writing and phone calls. Members of congress will respond given enough voter pressure. Look at what happened in the House this week.

I do not recall ever having seen a 100% solid block Republican vote. EVen the RINO's who would probably have peferred to vote the other way were afraid to break ranks. That came from us, not the press or their own volition.

“but until it violates our Constituion, it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution.”

This is where I start to tangled up in my little brain. I know there are some who believe the Constitution has ben violated in a couple of ways and not just since husseinorama. So, what is the tipping point? Is there any wiggel room? Is one instance enough? Isn’t that why we have the courts? Once the courts are stacked, then we have no recourse.

I write this because I mull this over everyday. How will I know it is time?

[wxgesr]

I guess I need to “preview” before I post.

ben = been

[jim-x]

Nah, this has been around for years (talking about civilians accompanying the military on operations).

I was an Emergency-Essential DoD civilian in 1985. They are used mostly to fill positions traditionally occupied by military or new positions that are essential to operations and administration during contingencies.

Anyone who knows anything about government should realize this directive has been in preparation for months if not years. Approvals, editing, meetings, teleconferences, coordination, then final signature. It was signed by Gordon England - who was a deputy secdef under Bush. This regulation is not something drawn up under Obama in the past ten days.

The wheels of government bureaucracy turn very slowly indeed.

>>Yeah, we better worry...only a century ago

I've been to the Ludlow monument many times, having grown up in Colorado and heard the history from both sides.

As I said, the incident is a perfect example of the evils of Corporatism which is Collectivism which is Communism.  They are not separate, but, as Orwell recognized, synergistic.

Maybe you think company/syndicate owned towns and their script controlled serfdom/enslavement were/are a great idea?

Yes it was a century ago - and our would-be Oligarchs are betting that sheeple like you are too stupid to learn from history and see the parallels between then and now; and too stupid to recognize the observable patterns tied to exploitable human nature - the same patterns that have been recurring for as long as there has been human nature and human history.

It's the same exploitive nature the Oligarchs used to put Comrade Chairman Obama in the Oval Office.

Tyranny of the Appetite.

Same ol’ Same ol’.

>>Fascism was a growing threat

Fascism is mandated subjugation and worship of the structure of governance.   It's a behavior - not a "movement".

Corporatism == Collectivism == Communism; all forms of the same collectivist nature documented throughout the Bible, and generaly named in that book as Baal.

Welcome to New Rome.  So long as the supply of Bread and Circuses was not diminished, the people of Rome were perfectly willing to worship whatever god the state mandated - and not much has changed

Bread and Circuses - something to remember as folks stuff their obese, beer swilling gullets with nachos during the Super Bowl tomorrow.

>>and civil liberties were violated regularly.

And they're not today?   Worked in a Communist Chinese "Capitalist" shoe factory lately?

Out of sight, out of mind?

Obama is pursuing, but until it violates our Constituion it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution

Well, I have said NOTHING about 'revolution" - my concern is that too many people have a 'not time to worry yet" attitude.

Would you consider a totally new layer of law enforcement in addition to our military - which includes States National Guards and the CoasT Guard, State Police, Sheriffs and Police - that was as big as, "just as strong, just as powerful, just as well funded as our military" something to "worry about"?

Could you cite where in the Constitution that is allowed?

Could you explain to us just what 'bama is proposing in this clip = and could you give us a heads up so's we'll know when we should 'start worrying"?

when will it be time to worry???

[LomanBill]

>>it is paranoid lunacy to be talking revolution.

 

It's also suicidal and counterproductive.  Gandhi recognized this.  That's why, instead of providing the British Military Industrial Establishment with justification for using force and strengthening itself, Gandhi won India's independence by making salt.

 

The actions of Timothy McVeigh and Co., on the other hand, did nothing but empower the Federal Bureaucracy.

 

As Orwell recognized - the System expects revolt, and is prepared to profit from it.

 

Unfortunately for us, Salt is as cheap as Bread and Circuses; and so the sheeple-frog sits in the slowly boiling pot.  

 

By the time it figures out the plot of the main course, which it is, the sheeple-frog's legs are as cooked as the books of the Federal Reserve.

 

Frog's legs, Milk, and Apples.

 

Tyranny of the Appetite.

[LomanBill]

Now, why did Gandhi’s “Salt Making” strategy work against the British?

Would it have worked against Adolph Hitler?

What’s the difference?

>>>>> I’ve already stated my concerns, as have others. <<<<<<

No you have not.

What are your concerns, specifically?

Government policies and “directives” and “guidance” are updated and released by the bucketful every hour in DC. So that in itself is nothing of any merit whatsoever.

What are you other *substantive* concerns?

[angkor]

>>>>>> Actually, today it’s more dangerous for the DoD civilians, since Iraq is firing his Blackrock ‘contractors’. <<<<<

DoD civilian employees never had any bodyguards of any kind including Blackwater.

When I was at CRC in El Paso I think they were issuing Beretta 9mm pistols and some target practice to DoD civvies, but that’s it.

RTFM.
