Word has gotten out that our illustrious Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, offered up a Presidential directive for use of the U.S. military inside the U.S. to support and defend federal interests.
Yes, this includes against domestic unrest and when local authorities are unwilling to carry out federal directives. Translation: Using the U.S. military against uppity local sheriffs who won’t do the Obama regime’s dirty work against their local residents.
(Washington Times) – A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans.
The directive contains noncontroversial provisions on support to civilian fire and emergency services, special events and the domestic use of the Army Corps of Engineers.
The troubling aspect of the directive outlines presidential authority for the use of military arms and forces, including unarmed drones, in operations against domestic unrest.
“This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s decision to use force within the United States against its citizens,” said a defense official opposed to the directive.
Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” was issued Dec. 29, 2010, and states that U.S. commanders “are provided emergency authority under this directive.”
“Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or permitted under emergency authority,” the directive states.
“In these circumstances, those federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” under two conditions.
The conditions include military support needed “to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order.” A second use is when federal, state and local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.”
That’s gotta make everyday patriotic Americans feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Isn’t that called “MARSHALL LAW”?
Hate to post this. But it’s called martial law.
Does that mean it’s not “marshall arts”? 😉
This goes along with the foreign troops trained here to do his bidding when he declares marshal law for his made up crisis to keep him in power longer than his 8 year reign of tyranny. And not let’s not forget about the FEMA (concentration) camps they have ready for all of us that don’t comply.
No doubt Hitler had similar laws on the books back in the 30’s. When I was a kid I always liked Martial Dylan in Gunsmoke
Wow. That picture………….just screams “braying jackass.” Or “grinning lackey,” or something.
Well for those who have not been paying attention, President Obama has been using Hitler’s 1930s playbook of how to seize total control over the populace and remove all freedom . With a war on religion and freedom of speech and your rights of self governance .
