Obama Deception

After watching the whole 1 hour and 53 minutes, I can only say I am sad...because nothing really shocked me.

I didnt vote for BO (shock) because I thought him a phony early on, and voted for someone else in the primary; then saw a piece about his political life just starting from nowhere when some Chicago political bosses agreed to get him elected. I knew then he was bought and paid for. By whom i didnt know till now.

I had already known of the 20,000 uniformed troops being assigned  inside the United States by 2011 being trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials. There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement.

I might add that one weekend I combed the weband found the Northern Command breakdown of the troops, and then wondered why a combat aviation unit was being rotated from Afghanistan to this unit...I mean they have combat helicopters, not troop carriers or even Blackhawks. We're talking Apache gunships...and the ground troops are a unit that has done a lot of house to house comabt in Iraq,,,maybe its just my paranoia, but that dont seem like what you would assign to help the police. I would think a lot of Military Police would be what that would call for, after all, they are trained cops..one of my cousins was a mp and then became a cop where he lives, says it was just a change in uniform and locale.

I had to research Presidential Directive 51, and found that it is National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive (National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51/Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-20) and basically says when the president considers an emergency to have occurred, an "Enduring Constitutional Government" comprising "a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President," will take the place of the nation's regular government ", presumably without the oversight of Congress. Conservative activist Jerome Corsi and Marjorie Cohn of theNational Lawyers Guild have said that this is a violation of the Constitution of the United States ...The directive, created by the president, claims that the president has the power to declare a catastrophic emergency. It does not specify who has the power to declare the emergency over.."

"No government deprives its citizens of rights without asserting that its actions are "reasonable" and "necessary" for high-sounding reasons such as "public safety." A right that can be regulated is no right at all, only a temporary privilege dependent upon the good will of the very government officials that such right is designed to constrain."

  3. I first heard Obama mention a military presence in the States as strong and well funded as the one to fight abroad. It struck me as a serious, and perhaps threatening, power grab. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I see what he has in mind, but I think this is something that we all should keep our eyes on.
