Obama Civilian Security?

[Rev7]

Why do we need a 'second' military when we already have a very strong military?

Get ready for the Thought Police.

 

And you all thought that the Patriot Act was bad. Not that it wasn't: it most certainly was. I forsee more Wacos and Ruby Ridges in our near future.

 

Yay.

[mimartin]

Never heard of Posse Comitatus Act?

[Q]

Of course.

 

Ever heard of Kent State?

[Rev7]

Never heard of Posse Comitatus Act?

I have now.

 

Posse Comitatus Act

 

However, I that Obama is talking about an entirely different thing than what that act covers.

 

Spending millions of dollars on a security force?

It makes more sense protecting ourselves from terrorist than not protecting ourselves. How secure are our ports again?

 

 

Kent State is a good example why we should be using our security force trained in security rather than those trained militarily to protect us domestically.

[Q]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was the NSA's job.

Yes...

 

Kent State is a good example why we should be using our security force trained in security rather than those trained militarily to protect us domestically.

"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."

That is saying a lot.

That is a lot of money.

I'm not seeing a problem here. If you reply on others to protect yourself, when the time comes for you to protect yourself, you'll be screwed.

Funny then just why was Homeland Security created. We already had the National Softball Association National Security Agency. I get it; it is all right for “so-called” conservatives to create huge useless bureaucracies, but the liberals can’t.

Homeland Security, IMO, always seemed to spend more time watching we citizens than it did watching threats to us.

National Guard?

I wasn't in favor of Homeland Security, either. We need less bureaucracy, not more. The last thing we need is yet another overpowered federal agency sucking up our tax dollars and hassling the citizenry in order to justify its existence. We have more than enough af that crap now.

This country is quite divided, demoralized, and unprepared for serious conflicts (IE, a war with another superpower.), it seems.

[Litofsky]

I can't help but wonder if this is just another one of those promises to (help) get elected...

 

Not that this is a 'big' issue in the populace's eyes (if they've even heard about it). An economy-destroying war, an incompetent President, and a recession take precedence over this, if I remember human beings correctly.

I think every country is unprepared for a war with another superpower.

There is a difference between securing our ports and having a Secret Police like is what is found in a dictatorship.

Uh there is something called state and local police, this sounds to me more like a secret police to make people disappear than anything else.

 

There are also outright accusations that the mainstream media attempted to cover this up.

Okay if you were advocating a secret police force and trying to get elected would you admit that's what it really was.

Oh so now you're concerned about security. I guess it's cause a Democrat will be in office. Seriously, there is the NSA and FBI, what Obama's program sounds like quite honestly is a secret police.

 

The other causes of concern are:

 

WND points out two newspapers that printed the supposedly complete transcript of the speech, the Wall Street Journal and the Denver Post, as examples. The New York Times didn’t post a transcript, and neither did the Washington Post nor the Los Angeles Times. Most oddly, as Unruh points out, the Obama website doesn’t have that speech available, either.

And the Denver Post has deleted the transcript, so you ask me why I don't trust the mainstream media?

 

All of these signs point to the idea that this is to create a secret police.

Are you next going to try to say I magically created the video where Obama made those comments as well? :¬:

No just that you're completely making up the part about Obama creating another Schutzstaffel.

I'm hoping Obama stop the Secret Police force Bush put into place, at least that is what I call spying on your own citizens without judicial oversight.

You misread the signpost.

I'm not making anything up, it all fits if you connect the dots.

 

You have the blacklisting that news channel, you have the incident in Missouri I talked about a while ago.

We have Acorn as I've brought up before whose specialty is voter fraud:

Then we also have the treatment of Joe the Plumber.

All these contribute to the analysis that Obama is planning on creating a secret police. All the items fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

Last I checked Bush's wiretaps were of phone calls where at least one party was in another country. That's a big difference from illegally going through someone's tax records without probable cause.
