Barack Obama's Civilian Army
http://www.glennbeck.com/ ^ | August 28, 2009 - 1:01 ET | Glenn Beck

Posted on 08/28/2009 9:14:20 AM PDT by Lucky9teen

Thursday's show, I believe, it's the most controversial of all the shows this week — and maybe ever.

I will give you some facts, some history but also some of the future.

The reason Thursday's show is the last before Friday's solution, I wanted you to see who was advising the president and what they are doing, before I could ask you to look at this phrase from Barack Obama and think he meant it literally:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: 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.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

I don't know how anyone will respond to the facts I am going to present, because they really haven't responded to any of our questions or challenged any of the facts in our last few shows other than "Hey, don't call him a 'czar!'"

But I can't make this piece of the puzzle fit, unless this piece is about building some kind of thug-ocracy.

All week we've been asking tough questions — here's one more, Mr. President: Why do we need a civilian national security force that is "just as strong, just as powerful" as the military?

Here's why I ask this question: Who are we fighting? Who internally is threatening our security?

It's clearly not because we feel there is a threat from illegal aliens crossing the border, because anyone who would say that has been deemed a racist. A civilian national security force on the border is called The Minuteman and the attitude from this administration — as well as the Bush administration — is that they were "vigilantes." So it's not for the border.

It can't be a civilian national security force against Islamic extremists, because according to this administration we aren't even at war against Islamic extremists anymore. Is this administration really going to ask the American people to profile and call-in tips on Muslim Americans who act suspiciously?

So, who's left? Is it possible we are seeing the beginnings of another enemy?

Mr. President, is your civilian national security force to protect us from things the Missouri State Police, your own Homeland Security and the liberal Southern Law Poverty Center have come out and said were a threat: militia groups; tea party goers; folks with "Don't Tread on Me" flags; me; Sarah Palin?

Think about this: Is it unreasonable to think this government would ask you to spy on your neighbors, in light of these recent stories:

— Flag.gov e-mail asking for tips on "fishy" behavior

— Cookies on your computer that track whenever you've been on a government Web site — this used to be illegal but that was changed

— The government is using outside companies to track and contact you. Are they gathering information on you? I know that on "cash for clunkers" they didn't trust the dealers.

To me, all of this sounds like a sci-fi movie, but again I have to ask the reasonable question, in these unreasonable times: Who will the civilian national security force protect us from?

Maybe a better question to ask is, Mr. President: Do you know of a coming event?

Or maybe we should ask Joe Biden, who said:

(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)

THEN-VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN: Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.... Remember I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said: Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

(END AUDIO CLIP)

Is this civilian national security force just preparing for what Joe Biden predicted?

Who builds an army against an unidentified, unrecognized threat? Because we can't answer that question — or any of the others just proposed — then it's up to us to look for clues.

Maybe we have to start with the company whose CEO is a close financial adviser to the president of the United States, who helped write the health care bill and cap-and-trade bill and who has billions of dollars at stake: Jeffrey Immelt.

Immelt has been appointed by president to the board of directors to the New York Federal Reserve. Does he have any information? Let's look for what they may be saying the threat will be that we will need a civilian national security force against.

It would seem to me the network that sells "Yes We Did" dolls, mugs and t-shirts and is obviously extraordinarily close to the president in seven different ways — is it possible to watch their network and their news, to see if they have any inside information as to what this threat may be? Immelt's network seems to be the leading network in predicting a lot of trouble, but they're not alone:

(BEGIN VIDEO MONTAGE)

ED SCHULTZ RADIO SHOW: Folks, these people are psycho. That's what they are. Sometimes I think they want Obama to get shot. I do. I really think that there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see Obama taken out.

FRANK RICH, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST: I'm just old enough, I was a kid, I remember I woke up in 1963 to the horrible events in Dallas. Even as a kid, I happened to be growing up in Washington, D.C., it was palatable to me all this hate talk about Kennedy and this sort of crazy fear.... But there were a lot of threats. There was a lot of stuff going on that in tone resembles this.

SEN. BARBARA BOXER, D-CALIF.: All of this is a diversion by the people who want to, frankly, hurt President Obama. And by the way I saw some of the clips of people storming these townhall meetings. The last time I saw well-dressed people doing this, was when Al Gore asked me to go down to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, and I was confronted with the same type of people. They were there screaming and yelling, "Go back to California! Get out of here!" and all the rest of it.

CONTESSA BREWER, MSNBC: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally just outside, wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip.... The Associated Press reports about a dozen people in all at that event were visible carrying firearms.... There are questions about whether this has racial overtones. I mean, here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists.

(END VIDEO MONTAGE)

Is it reasonable to ask the question — based on these clips — do they think that a good portion of the American people are the enemy? They are such a danger we need a civilian national security force as well-funded and well-trained as the military?

That's who they think the enemy is and, once again, the media has it completely wrong.

So who is the real enemy?

"Common Sense" has been No. 1 for the last 10 weeks. One of the last chapters is "The Enemy Within" — I wrote it months ago. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out — let me give you this quote:

"It's not just the political class who has mastered the art of deception. There are other potentially deadly masters who will seek to exploit your frustration and sense of desperation. Many will warn you of government tyranny; they'll talk of secret societies, vast conspiracies, shadow governments, and the need for violent action. I urge you to stay away from these individuals and those ideas."

We've showed you the radicals in this administration. Now I'll show you the radicals outside the administration who are being used and will be used by the media and by this administration:

There was the Obama Joker poster creator; the right tried to take advantage of this and added the word "socialist" under it. But the creator of the poster is a Kucinich supporter who doesn't like Obama because he's not left enough.

Then there was that clip on MSNBC: The racist white person (according to MSNBC) who brought a rifle to the Obama town hall — wasn't even white! He was black.

In Denver, Maurice Joseph Schwenkler and an at-large accomplish smashed in windows at the Democratic Party HQ in Denver. Both parties accused Schwenkler of supporting the other, but he's a "trans-gendered anarchist" who belongs to the radical anarchist protest group Denver Bash Back.

While the radicals in the White House may not be connected to the radicals just mentioned, they are connected by the fact that they are radicals.

Remember, Obama adviser "czar" Jones created STORM who believes: "Revolutionaries need to be militant in street actions. As leaders in the fight for liberation, we should be role models of fearlessness before the state and the oppressor."

These are the sort of tactics some of Obama's "czars" know best.

So when we've got a president creating a "civilian force" as strong as the military and an admitted far-left radical in the White House doing this:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

VAN JONES, GREEN JOBS 'CZAR': Actually, my job is not so dissimilar than my job was before.... What I do, can I make it simple, I'm basically a community organizer with the federal family.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

How else am I supposed to read this? I'm happy to hear any other explanation than "don't call him a czar."

I hope all the purist Republicans who stayed at home Nov 2008 because their ideologically perfect candidate wasn't running are happy.

McCain would have slowed the path but we would still be on the path.

obama, has to their detriment accelerated the take over, Beck points it out and just a look at town hall meetings and talk on the street, tells me CW2 is all but unavoidable.

The cold civil war we have been in , is about to get hot.

Even if it’s not true, I’d rather be safe than sorry and think it’s true and protect myself and plan ahead just in case.

Obama may not be the planner behind all of this (I believe he’s a puppet), but he is at the helm of a serious Radical government and administration, and it’s not something that’s easily shrugged off by me...hell no!!! This is scary scary crap and this country is headed down a very messed up road.

Fortunately for US (WE THE PEOPLE) we have passion and the American spirit, something I highly doubt Obama and his minions have counted on and something for which they can never FAKE their way through. We will crush them because I believe wholeheartedly, NO ONE is going to take away OUR AMERICA!!!!

"Snickety Snack” go the bolts of 100,000 rifles in civilian hands."

Do they all live in the same house? Because they are gong to have to if they think they are going to stop the brown shirts when they go street by street, door to door confiscating arms.

Thank you for this post. I saw this thought provoking program last night. There were some insightful points made by all guests on the program last night and I will tune in today to see the further recommendations.
What is so shocking are the number of people who simply refuse to even look at the biographies of the people 0bama is putting in place as the czars and the powers they are being given.

They can’t confiscate all the arms in the first wave.
Those who get caught in the first wave have the obligation to get the word out that “it’s on”.

The brownshirts will be met with some better resistance as they go, to be sure.

Any of you who have followed my posts over the last eight-ten years know I'm not a hysterical person.

A month ago I wrote a Post here called "What if They Don't Care?" Most took it reasonably, but a few were sharply critical saying "The Dems care about getting reelected, and won't do anything that the public completely opposes."

Oh really? Combine the "civilian police" with the "cyber security" Rockefeller bill and what do you have? Looks like totalitarianism, quacks like totalitarianism . . . .

So, to those who say, "The military won't stand for it," I have much the response that I did when people said the "Blue Dogs" wouldn't stand for it: it will be over before they know it. As a historian, let me remind everyone this has never, ever happened before, not in Lincoln's most "tyrannical" days, not in the worst times of FDR---NO AMERICAN MILITARY HAS EVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT REMOVING A COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

Is this because they are not patriotic? Absolutely not---just the opposite. The idea of an American tyrant is so foreign, so unamerican, that most will choose not to believe it's happening.

I pray the military understands its duty to protect us against all enemies foreign and domestic, but the culture within which people are trained, etc. counts for a lot. Moreover, large, large numbers of troops are overseas. Coincidence?

I'm guessing that a civilian army may be used in a way the the military army is prohibited by law. So we would have a Geheime staatliche Polizei In addition to local police in your town there will be Federal police. Since they will be civilian they likely be un-uniformed..In another word, "spies".

I have a couple issues with the next “election”...

Assuming our votes actually will count in the 2010 election, which I am suspect about because of how corrupt and involved the current administration is with several “unions” and “Special Interest” groups and how they’ve gone about things in past elections....

Who are we going to vote the bad people out with? Right now, and I realize it’s still a year or so away, but there isn’t anyone worth voting in. Either they are the same brand of politics and just as bad as who we’d be voting out, or there isn’t anyone running against???

So tell me how we “vote them out” when there is no one to vote them out with or the one to vote them out with, is just as bad as they are?????

I’m sorry, but I don’t have much faith in the next elections, for these reasons. The corruption in our government goes SO deep and is SO entrenched, I feel, the ONLY way to save our republic and truly get back to HONEST, DECENT, CONSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP, is revolution....i.e., taking back the country by force, not by vote.

Just my $.02

I am happy. I’d rather have it all out in the open than have another liberal “Republican” president.

Well, if they keep wearing those red shirts, it will be a lot easier to sort them all out.

I wonder, If the majority of ACORN members are strangely black, if Obama’s 100 billion dollar “ACORN fund” was really a sneaky reparations payment. All they have to do to collect is join his “red army” civilian service.

I'm actually good with this.
I would hate to - would probably not - scope a man or woman in the US armed services or reserves doing what they' told inside the US.
I'd rather they were OZero's internal security force. On them I will draw a bead, drop ordnance or otherwise engage without a second thought.

They would know what they were signing up for and why, which makes them as much the enemy as he is.
