Obama Builds Personal Army & Gives Himself Power To Kill

The Department of Homeland Security becomes militarized at nearly the same time Obama asserts right to use drones to kill whom they deem a ‘threat’ to national security.

I was musing to myself the comments made last week by Obama’s ‘Gruppenfuhrer’ stooge Al Sharpton who weighed in on the government push to disarm Americans by saying:

“First of all, if the government were to come to disarm you, you would not be able to use an automatic weapon to defend yourself. Let’s be serious. We’re in a world of drones now so the Second Amendment would not help you in that area. It is absurd to try to cite that.”

In plain language, what Sharpton said (which is the Obama Regime’s opinion) – is that when Obama and the Congressional Politburo orders the American people to be forcibly disarmed – our arms will not be able to save us – because Obama has armed military drones at his disposal – and he can kill you with a simple word from 17,000 feet up, without you even knowing it was coming.

THAT’S what he meant.

This of course was the same press manifesto where it was asserted that “American’s do not have the right to unregulated rights”

One has to wonder due the quip about using drones if Sharpton has an inside line to His Heinous – Barrack The First considering the recent connect-the-dots news about using drones to “legally” kill American citizens in the event this regime deems them “an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States.”

The fact Al Qaeda is mentioned in cursory fashion in the secret directive obtained by NBC news (for cover) for this action, is a transparent lie when Obama has already shown us all that he will arm Al Qaeda operatives in Libya, Egypt and Syria with F-16s, tanks and ManPads.  In fact this author believes that the Benghazi Egypt massacre by Al Qaeda operatives back on September 11, 2012, where Obama left Americans to die – was to rid the evidence of Obama’s complicity in arming a branch of Al Qaeda he was running arms to in Syria to help in the overthrow of secular dictator Bashar Al-Assad.  An action former CIA director Leon Panetta actually stated he was in favor of in testimony today.

The White Paper that directs his regime to use drone strikes on Americans gives Obama the power to raise a thumb up or down to decide if a citizen he deems a threat should be blown to molecules without due process.  In The Won’s magnanimity however,  he did not reserve the power of life and death to just himself.  The paper states that  “an informed, high-level official” (as yet unnamed) of the government can also decide when a citizen is an imminent threat, and if capture is not feasible, they may be killed with a drone strike.

On top of all this, DHS just announced yet ANOTHER massive purchase of hollow point ammunition.

As DHS continues to grow and expand – being armed to the teeth and drones being ordered above American airspaces while DHS conducts armed ‘training exercises’ of intimidation in major Southern cities – methinks Obama is keeping one of his campaign promises: to create a personal Praetorian, or civilian ‘national security force’ – “just as powerful, just as well funded as the U.S. military”.

Coach Is Right has their thoughts that dovetail mine.

Obama building a personal army at the Department of Homeland Security

by Doug Book,  staff writer

In July of 2008, presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama stated that Americans could no longer “…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.” (1)

It was 4 months before the election yet no one in the “mainstream” media seemed interested in asking a presidential candidate about his promise to create a “civilian security force” with a $440 billion annual budget! What, exactly, would it do? Who would be in charge? Where would a force the size of the U.S. Military be housed? Would its members—like their military counterparts—be armed? How much authority would such a force exercise over the American people? From whom would it be derived? In his speech, Mr. Obama made it sound as though most of the members would be volunteers. If so, why would a near half trillion dollar budget be necessary?

In the almost 5 years since Obama’s frightening pledge to put a powerful, unidentified force in charge of “national security,” the American public has discovered that:   

• though Obama has never again repeated the terms “civilian national security force,” it is obvious that the Department of Homeland Security is filling that role in the Obama Regime.
• DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have purchased more than 450 million rounds of .40 cal, hollow point ammunition. Hollow points are expensive and wholly unnecessary for range use. It seems members of the DHS are to be armed—well armed. At the same time, Mr. Obama is working to see to it that the American people are NOT. (2)
• the immigration services and enforcement budgets at DHS were nearly $20 billion in 2010. Yet the Mexican-U.S. border was guarded by a “virtual fence” which leaked illegal aliens like a sieve. Some 4-5.5 million foreigners have overstayed their Visa’s in the US, yet just 8,100 arrests have been made by the DHS! (3)

Then, in October of 2012, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order creating the “White House Homeland Security Partnership Council,”  its ostensible purpose to “…advance the federal government’s use of local partnerships to address homeland-security challenges.” But the DHS was ALREADY working with local governments across the nation. Why would Obama intercede in this way? (4)

Because “he [wanted] to be able to dictate who gets to participate in these local partnerships – and they don’t have to be local law enforcement or local government officials to do so. These partnerships will be with ‘the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, foundations and community-based organizations.’  All of whom will be handpicked by Obama and those federal bureaucrats he appoints.” (4)

The National Defense Authorization Act empowers Obama ON HIS OWN to determine who represents a threat to the United States and to have that individual detained and imprisoned. And the Executive Order he signed allows the president to select like-thinking “deputies” nationwide, authorized to act on Obama’s behalf. These men will have little or no concern for the security of the United States. Rather, they will be working exclusively to increase the power of the president by threatening and intimidating his political enemies.

Barack Obama is at last building his Civilian National Security Force. It consists of a thoroughly corrupt organization of the far left, employed by the DHS and empowered by the president himself to ignore the Constitution and the laws of the United States.  Representing the 3^rd largest department in the federal government, these DHS forces of a Constitutionally ineligible president are working to implement a police state—a dictatorship in which all “rights” will derive from the sole authority of Barack Obama.

Make no mistake–Barack Obama has every intention of imposing his will on the American public by creating a Marxist dictatorship during his second term. It is for that reason the assault has begun on American gun owners, as an armed public can fight back and defeat such would-be tyrants.

It’s difficult to conceive of an American president deliberately arming a federal force for the purpose of killing and enslaving the American people. But we will see it happen.

Classified Cable Reveals Embassy In Libya Warned Obama A Month Before Attack

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before 9-11, stating Embassy could not defend against Al Qaeda “coordinated attack”.

After Obama left Americans to die by the hands of Al Qaeda Jihadists whom he was arming with weapons and funds, a massive cover-up with complicity of the media continues.  It seems only ONE news outlet is willing to cover the story of Obama’s complicity of assassination of his own ambassador and Americans who defied orders to ‘stand down’ to rescue the mission staff.

Despite the continuing insistence that Obama’s regime had ‘no reliable intel’ of the danger the U.S. Mission in Libya, Catherine Herridge at Fox News uncovers a top secret cable sent almost a MONTH before the 9-11 attacks in Libya whereby the mission’s RSO Security officer stated that the Consulate could not withstand a coordinated attack by Al Qaeda Jihadists whom had training camps in Benghazi.

Obama and the State Department knew  Al Qaeda Jihadist groups were operating in Benghazi.  A flurry of intelligence reports were sent after the fall of Gadhaffi’s regime after a June 6 bomb attack on the Benghazi mission’s security wall and an attack on a Red Cross shelter followed by other assassinations by identified Jihad groups operating in the mountain areas around Benghazi.

Obama’s regime did nothing to reinforce or secure the Mission, even after actual attacks in June.  It kept a ‘minimalist’ position, most likely to facilitate the Fast & Furious -styled arming of Jihadist groups that Obama designated as ‘rebels’ against the Secular Dictatorships in the Arab world whom Obama was working to overthrow.  Reports that the Benghazi mission was serving as an arms cache depot to funnel SAMs/MANPAD surface-to-air missiles and guns to Jihadist ‘rebels’ in Syria adds to the suspicion that Obama let Ambassador Stevens die to bury and cover up his regime’s involvement in treason.

Classified cable warned consulate couldn’t withstand ‘coordinated attack’:

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.

Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.

“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.

According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed “on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.

The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.

In addition to describing the security situation in Benghazi as “trending negatively,” the cable said explicitly that the mission would ask for more help. “In light of the uncertain security environment, US Mission Benghazi will submit specific requests to US Embassy Tripoli for additional physical security upgrades and staffing needs by separate cover.”

This is almost a MONTH before the attacks.  Obama’s State Department under the direction of Hillary Clinton were well aware of the threat Al Qaeda and other Jihadi groups posed to the Mission, and as always – Obama’s regime REFUSES to answer questions about this unravelling scandal – instead sticking to a massive lie and narrative.

While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.

In a three-page cable on Sept 11, the day Stevens and the three other Americans were killed, Stevens wrote about “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” with the security forces and Libyan police. The ambassador saw both as “too weak to keep the country secure.”

Fox News asked the State Department to respond to a series of questions about the Aug. 16 cable, including who was specifically charged with reviewing it and whether action was taken by Washington or Tripoli. Fox News also asked, given the specific warnings and the detailed intelligence laid out in the cable, whether the State Department considered extra measures for the consulate in light of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks – and if no action was taken, who made that call.

The State Department press office declined to answer specific questions, citing the classified nature of the cable.

Obama Executive Order Is Legal Precursor To Totalitarianism

History repeats itself because people choose to forget the lessons of history.  Thankfully there are a few left who are crying aloud the warning this blog has been screaming about since 2008 regarding the current regime that is assigning itself dictatorial power over all life in the United States.

It is not lost on this author, that the country I return to in a few months, will not be the same one I left.  How long do we have before the fullness of night descends upon a nation that has become lost and forgotten the God whom blessed it?

From Ann Barnhardt:

WHY THE NDRP E.O. OF 3/16/2012 IS DIFFERENT

POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT – MARCH 18, AD 2012 8:46 PM MST

I’m getting really, really sick of these pundits and talking heads on the so-called “right” clucking their tongues at the unwashed masses and telling us that we’re crazy and paranoid to be the least bit concerned each and every time the Obama regime takes another stride toward totalitarianism. And it is EACH AND EVERY TIME.

Let me break it down for Ed Morrissey, and all of the other pundits in that social circle so that you can get your heads around this. We are concerned and even, dare I say it, panicked, because we can see the big picture of the Obama regime for what it is. We can take the totality of the dataset and draw not just a logical, reasoned conclusion, but a conclusion that is supported by centuries – nay millenia – of past precedent.

We are, as Patrick Henry put it, “willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

Why is the 3/16/2012 Executive Order worthy of grave concern? Simply put, because of the man and the regime who issued it. This is a man, and a regime that has done the following:

-Sent the Secretary of Defense (Leon Panetta) to Congress to put them on notice that despite the explicitness of the Constitution, the consent of the Congress to wage war will neither be solicited nor required by the Commander in Chief or his regime. The CiC and SECDEF may, if they feel like it and can find the time, MAY inform the Congress of “kinetic military actions” henceforth.

-Declared the First Amendment null and void by mandating that every American must, as a condition of legal residency in the United States, pay for abortions. Mr. Morrissey, being a Catholic, you should understand that what the Obama regime has done is demand your very soul. In order to remain corporeally “free” in the United States of America, you must enter into mortal sin, reject Jesus Christ in totality, turn your back on your Crucified Savior, excommunicate yourself from the Church, and consign your immortal soul to eternal hell. If that isn’t the prohibiting of the free exercise of religion, then nothing is or ever could be.

-Committed acts of war upon the sovereign nation of Mexico and her people, willfully arming narco-terrorists with the intent of using the optics of hundreds if not thousands of brutally murdered Mexicans in order to stir up and justify the overthrow of the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This is textbook sedition.

-Has coordinated with regime cronies in the Legislative Branch to enable the Obama regime to operate for an entire term WITH NO BUDGET WHATSOEVER. In this time, the Obama regime has looted the United States Treasury and debased the currency of the United States to the tune of SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS, or roughly one-half the gross domestic product.

This is just a very, very, very short list. Additionally, with each passing day it is being further revealed that EVERY SINGLE PERSON Barack Obama has ever associated with has been not merely a Marxist, not merely a Socialist, not merely a Communist, but a TOTALITARIAN hellbent on the destruction of the United States of America.

I’ll concede the point that if this Executive Order was issued by – get this – Jimmy Carter or even Bill Clinton, I could buy the idea that it was merely an emergency protocol housekeeping item of some sort geared toward the reaction of the Federal Government after a nuclear attack. I’d be skeptical, but I would be open to the argument.

Not so now. These people are totalitarian tyrants who are no longer even trying to hide their intentions. See the bulleted items above. There comes a point where you have to pull your head out of the sand, synthesize a massive dataset into its obvious, coherent output, and be willing to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Denying the obvious, even when the obvious is horrific, is not some sort of virtue. Keeping people numb to reality and drunk on a sugary treacle of distraction and reassurance that “everything’s okay” even when every iota of data and experience tells us that everything is NOT OKAY is not a virtuous public service. It is a massive failure in charity, both towards those who are misled and falsely-consoled by your assurances, and toward those whose intellects and intentions you backhandedly insult.

Remember, people exactly like Ed Morrissey and his ilk were calling everyone warning of Hitler’s danger to mankind “alarmist”, “conspiracy theorists” and “paranoid” up until 4:40 am on September 1, 1939 when the Luftwaffe attacked Weilun. And before that mess was over, 70 million human beings were dead. The hell that the Obama regime is determined to unleash on the world will make World War II look like a mere bar fight.

Yeah, I’m sorry I can’t tell you the day, hour and minute that open war is going to break out, both overseas and here in the homeland. If that failure makes me non-credible and paranoid, then I wear that sash with pride, and am consoled and flattered by the caliber of the company of Jeremiahs and Cassandras that I join. But I do know that it is coming, and that the NDRP Executive Order of 3/16/2012 is, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE DAY AND THE REGIME THAT ISSUED IT, entirely ominous and certainly tactical.

I’ll leave you with the video of Larry Grathwohl, which can never, ever be posted, spread and publicized too much. Recorded in 1980, when Barack Obama was nothing more than a drug-addled foreign student at Occidental College and not yet even a glimmer in the eye of the Totalitarians who would later adopt him as their public persona, Grathwohl recounts conversations led by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, the founders and leaders of the Weather Underground, the Marxist-Communist-Totalitarian terrorist group that Grathwohl was tasked to infiltrate, and the eventual intimates, ghostwriter and political handlers of Barack and Michelle Obama.

The Totalitarian cabal that runs the Obama regime has intended, for decades, to collapse the United States, overthrow it, establish a Totalitarian oligarchy, and as a necessary corollary to that, murder at least ten percent of the population as “die-hard, unreformable capitalists.” In 1980, that 10% worked out to 25 million human beings. Today, it would be 31 million – but heck, what’s another Holocaust (6 million) give or take?
