Obama has created his own private army and hidden his ‘soldiers’ in dozens of federal agencies in the form Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams.
Why would departments such as these need their own SWAT: The Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
“Law-enforcement agencies across the U.S., at every level of government, have been blurring the line between police officer and soldier,” writes Radley Balko in his 2013 book Rise of the Warrior Cop. “The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.”
We are witnessing the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces – on a grand scale. With great force they raid homes and businesses of non-violent citizens, as we just witnessed with the Cliven Bundy atrocity.
With dozens of SWAT teams now at his hand, Obama has followed in the footsteps of other Marxist tyrants.
Regardless of how people feel about Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s standoff with the federal Bureau of Land Management over his cattle’s grazing rights, a lot of Americans were surprised to see TV images of an armed-to-the-teeth paramilitary wing of the BLM deployed around Bundy’s ranch.
They shouldn’t have been. Dozens of federal agencies now have Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to further an expanding definition of their missions. It’s not controversial that the Secret Service and the Bureau of Prisons have them. But what about the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? All of these have their own SWAT units and are part of a worrying trend towards the militarization of federal agencies — not to mention local police forces.
“Law-enforcement agencies across the U.S., at every level of government, have been blurring the line between police officer and soldier,” journalist Radley Balko writes in his 2013 book Rise of the Warrior Cop. “The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.”
The proliferation of paramilitary federal SWAT teams inevitably brings abuses that have nothing to do with either drugs or terrorism. Many of the raids they conduct are against harmless, often innocent, Americans who typically are accused of non-violent civil or administrative violations.
Take the case of Kenneth Wright of Stockton, Calif., who was “visited” by a SWAT team from the U.S. Department of Education in June 2011. Agents battered down the door of his home at 6 a.m., dragged him outside in his boxer shorts, and handcuffed him as they put his three children (ages 3, 7, and 11) in a police car for two hours while they searched his home. The raid was allegedly intended to uncover information on Wright’s estranged wife, Michelle, who hadn’t been living with him and was suspected of college financial-aid fraud.
The year before the raid on Wright, a SWAT team from the Food and Drug Administration raided the farm of Dan Allgyer of Lancaster, Pa. His crime was shipping unpasteurized milk across state lines to a cooperative of young women with children in Washington, D.C., called Grass Fed on the Hill. Raw milk can be sold in Pennsylvania, but it is illegal to transport it across state lines. The raid forced Allgyer to close down his business.
Brian Walsh, a senior legal analyst with the Heritage Foundation, says it is inexplicable why so many federal agencies need to be battle-ready: “If these agencies occasionally have a legitimate need for force to execute a warrant, they should be required to call a real law-enforcement agency, one that has a better sense of perspective. The FBI, for example, can draw upon its vast experience to determine whether there is an actual need for a dozen SWAT agents.”
Since 9/11, the feds have issued a plethora of homeland-security grants that encourage local police departments to buy surplus military hardware and form their own SWAT units. By 2005, at least 80 percent of towns with a population between 25,000 and 50,000 people had their own SWAT team. The number of raids conducted by local police SWAT teams has gone from 3,000 a year in the 1980s to over 50,000 a year today.
OBAMA is Trying to CONQUER AMERICA from Within!!! And he Will if The American People Continue to just Stand by and Watch. Obama is Just finishing the Job that OUR Former Presidents Bush and Clinton Started!!! The Scheme is very Complex. Look back at those who tried to do Good for Americans. President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin L King, all Assassinated and the attempt on Ronald Reagan, because they went against the Group that wants control over the World. The fore mentioned all Worked to keep AMERICA FREE. Those who didn’t, Lived out their lives. This is NO coincidences. That’s why since Reagan, we have had such Weak Leadership in AMERICA. Mostly because Americans have grown Weak and expected someone else to do what we are unwilling to do for ourselves. We have acted like Sheep and looked for a Shepard to guide us. Obama is the Shepard. Now it’s up to the sheep to change the course of our lives. Fire the Shepard and Take a Stand on your own as AMERICANS. It’s a DO or DIE !!! Where Do YOU STAND???
THE MUSLIM IS A TRAITOR AND WILL PAY DEARLY FOR IT.
We are going to be like Hitler’s Germany & most of us will be killed & our children & grandchildren will become the elite’s slaves.
Its time to wake up AMERICA……..Your Government ARE the terrorists of 9/11……not the Muslims that your Government want you to believe it was. ………WAKE UP>…because if you dont……it wont just be the Bundy’s they felt their sting….you will as well……then its too late.
How do you think Obama will get the Armed police force to do his nasty work work on the American people? Easy….we saw how they played that game already at the Bundy’s Ranch. Each side gets a different story. The Law inforcement are told…blah blah, didnt pay taxes, harming the turtles…blah blah……..so now they are set up. They take the cows. The Bundy’s and supporters, are told….go get ya cows…..they setting them free. So off they go to get them. Get there…and they are told noooooo…the cows stay. Each side thinking they are right…..the scene was set up to create a flash point for the Bundy’s to slaughter the 20 law inforce’s ….then it would have been full on Marshal Law in that STATE. Thats how close America is to Marshal Law happening. Thats why you do need to WAKE UP……NOW. Because another group of land owners, or citizens that ARE NOT AS WELL organised as the Bundy’s…..would fire that first shot. There were at least 500 fully armed supporters facing the 20x of the Law. Wake Up and use ya head, think, learn, dont shoot first….Thats what your Government will want you to do.
I’m amazed at how many Americans follow through with the orders against other Americans. Where is our unity.
“We Surround Them” don’t forget it!
He has even used the youth
WTF is the PO doing with Nazi death squads?
Are You Waking UP yet America ???
