In January, without any recognizable corporate media coverage, Rep. Bob Filner, a California Democrat, introduced H.R. 675. The bill would amend title 10 of the United States Code and extend to civilian employees of the Department of Defense the authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms. The bill was referred to the Armed Services Committee on January 26, 2009.

Filner’s bill would amend the United States code with the following: “Sec. 1585b. Law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense: authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms… for any offense against the United States.” (Emphasis added.)
The Posse Comitatus Act, passed on June 18, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, limits the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits members of the federal uniformed services from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property within the United States.
H.R. 675 sidesteps Posse Comitatus by defining “law enforcement officer of the Department of Defense” as “a civilian employee of the Department of Defense,” including federal police officers, detectives, criminal investigators, special agents, and game law enforcement officers classified by the Office of Personnel Management Occupational Series 0083 (the United States Office of Personnel Management is described as an “independent agency” of the U.S. government that manages the civil service of the federal government).
In 2005, the Office of Personnel Management partnered with the Department of Homeland Security to create a “21st century human resources management system that fully supports the Department’s vital mission,” according to then Office of Personnel Management Associate Director for Strategic Human Resources Policy Ron Sanders.
At approximately the same time, the DoD issued a Defense Directive 1404.10 (read PDF) that establishes a “DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce” and rescinds a prior Clinton era directive dealing with the emergency use of civilian personnel. The Obama administration describes the Civilian Expeditionary Workforce as follows:
Members of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce shall be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations of the Department of Defense in accordance with DoDD 3000.05
“This new directive is odd, coming as it does after campaign promises by Obama to establish a paramilitary ‘civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded’ as our military,” writes Doug Ross.
According to Sec. Def. Robert Gates, defeating terrorism will require the use of more “soft power,” with civilians contributing more in communication, economic assistance, political development and other non-military areas. “Gates called for the creation of new government organizations, including a permanent group of civilian experts with a wide range of expertise who could be sent abroad on short notice as a supplement to U.S. military efforts. And he urged more involvement by university and other private experts,” the Associated Press reported in late 2007.
It should be noted that the original Civilian Expeditionary Workforce directive mentions the term “overseas” no fewer than 33 times, while the Obama revision does not mention “overseas” at all. In other words, the revised directive is designed for “emergency operations” in the United States.
Both H.R. 675 and the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce directive will establish civilian “soft power” under the direction of the Pentagon. Obama is now actively working to create a paramilitary “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military. In order to skirt Posse Comitatus, Obama’s paramilitary brownshirts will be organized and run out of the Office of Personnel Management with orders coming from the Pentagon.
In the recent past, the Pentagon sent operatives to snoop on anti-war and patriot demonstrations — for instance, Alex Jones’ protest at the Federal Reserve was monitored by the Pentagon . In the not too distant future they will likely send “civilians” with firearms and the power to arrest “rightwing extremists” who represent, according to the Department of Homeland Security and numerous federalized police agencies, “offense against the United States.”

After a recent conversation with some friends in the military about the brigades that are helping to patrol US streets and how the DoD and Homeland security are calling protesters terrorists all they could say was ‘Game On’. Wonder what theyd say to this.

Hi,
I’m just getting started with my new blog. Would you want to exchange links on our blog-rolls?
BTW – I’m up to about 100 visitors per day.

We can fight this H.R.675. We just need to inform everyone to write call their senators,state reps,and congressman. Let them know that this is right out of nazi germany. Having obama youths walking around armed and ready to shoot and arrest civillians is completely ludicrous.

I think most of them will probably hang out @ wally-world to see what & how much of anything people buy. If you buy more than they think you should based on your reported income, you’ll be arrested. Think they won’t have that info.?? Think again. hussein wants all census info transferred to the white house.

Ol Joe was also convicted in NY for fraudulent crimes deceiving people, by claiming he could find hidden buried treasures….illegal polygamy, marrying under age girls, the list goes on…No credibility and you expect us to believe anything this so called “prophet” says? He also predicted the end of the world back in his time, in the 1800’s…go figure.

Active duty soldier and IVAW member, Victor Agosto, has refused to fight in Afghanistan and may face court martial for his actions. Adding your name to our support petition can help his case.
Victor returned to Ft. Hood, Texas after his deployment in Iraq and got news that his unit would be sent to Afghanistan. He had already been questioning his service in Iraq and saw parallels with Afghanistan. “Both occupations fuel the insurgencies in those countries. We are creating ‘terrorists’ and we are killing so many innocent people,” Victor concluded. In May, he told his unit command he would not go.
Victor has overtly refused to follow any order that has anything to do with his taking an action that would support the occupation of Afghanistan. If he continues to refuse orders, he almost assuredly will face court martial and likely jail time.
“The only way to make them [politicians] responsive to the needs of the people is if soldiers won’t fight their wars . . .

Victor sounds like one of those persons who wants his cake and eat it too. What was he thinking when he joined to U.S. army, that he could pick and choose his assignments. Anyone who does not know that the U.S. army serves the globalist agenda has to be an idiot. Sorry but Victor should stand up and grow some balls and take his prison sentence like a man. When you get in bed with the devil you are going to get burned. Let Victors story be a lesson the anyone who thinks of joining the army. Victors heart is in the right place now, but I think he was in it for the benefits initially and did not give enough thoughts to the consequences. Sorry Victor, God Bless; and don’t be so quick to find the easy way out to get a meal and a bunk.

What if there were members of the military WHO ARE AWARE OF WHAT’S GOING ON, REALLY defended their country and stole weapons, planes, tanks, millions of rounds!! To help the people fight. Would that be wrong?
June 25th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
You guys are overly paranoid. Maybe this bill wasn’t clear, but this would do nothing but give the 0083 police officers that are currently employed by the Department of Defense the same authority as officers who work for the U.S. Mint, VA Hospitals, Pentagon, U.S. Capitol, CIA, NSA, Department of Energy and a host of other federal agencies currently have. The authority is always limited to the property that the officer works on and the streets immediately surrounding that federal property. Many of the vary officers that you are affraid of are given arrest authority from the states they are located in, and the “special agents (NCIS, AFOSI, ACID)” already have this authority, and to my knowledge havn’t abused it at all. Really guys, this is about the proper protection of the Military Bases that house the troops that we all support, as well as the other Defense agencies that they work for. This does not include active duty MP’s which is why Posse Commitatus doesn’t apply, and should never apply to civillian police officer. And for the record I am a “DOD” Police Officer, I have passed a 16 week police academy and attended many advanced law enforcement schools, despite all of my training, I have no statutory arrest authority, and have been jammed up because of it in the past. I couldn’t care less about protestors, but the abusive husband, drug dealer, thief, rapist, or other individuals who commit crime in my jurrisdiction. I shouldn’t have to second guess what I can and cant do when dealing with them. We conservatives are hurting ourselves with this one. Help us pass this bill ASAP

The Third Anti Christ is right here living in a big white house in Washington D.C. He wants our guns, money, and maybe our freedom. He wants to change the laws and make new one to suit himself and all the democrat of this county. I do believe Hitler started out this way. The past always should teach us all. But no one wants to listen
