Louie Gohmert - Obamacare's “Secret Security Force”

Rep. Louie Gohmert

Obamacare could create an armed “secret security force”.

During an appearance on the Janet Mefferd Show, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) warned that a provision within Obamacare could create an armed “secret security force”.

Referring to a section of the gargantuan Obamacare law which discusses “the president’s own commissioned and non-commissioned officer corps,” Gohmert drew attention to the notion that under the pretext of a “national emergency,” such individuals could be used to impose some form of medical martial law reports Infowars News.

 

Under the Affordable Care Act, the Ready Reserve Corps is directed to “assist full-time Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

 

“It says it is for international health crises, but then it doesn’t include the word ‘health’ when it talks about national emergencies,” said Gohmert.

 

“I’ve asked, what kind of training are they getting….I want to know are they using weapons to train, or are they being taught to use syringes and health care items?” asked the Congressman, adding that “no clear answers” had been forthcoming on the issue.”

 

Combined with the continued DHS arms build up along with the federal agency’s hiring of armed guards with “Top Secret” security clearances, Gohmert characterized the issue as “very disturbing”.

.

Accusing the Department of Homeland Security of being wasteful, Gohmert said the DHS’ commitment to purchase over 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition was concerning because many of the bullets are hollow point rounds which are not traditionally used for target practice.

 

“I’ve asked Homeland Security what is the reason for that,” said Gohmert, adding that their response “made no sense” but that he would continue to push for an explanation in Congress.

 

“Some kind of secret security force is something the United States is never supposed to have….but until we get enough members of Congress stirred up over the things I’ve been preaching about then we’re not likely to get answers,” said Gohmert, adding that the only way to get the DHS to properly respond would be to start cutting funding.

Police State Too Much? Send in a Marine!

Testimony at the Concord City Council public hearing regarding the acquisition of a BearCat, the "Homeland Security" grant-subsidized armored attack truck.  There was this little gem from retired Marine Colonel Pete Martino.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is
hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against
the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well,
but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

US credit rating under review - What took so long?

"Paper money eventually returns to its

intrinsic value -- zero."
Voltaire

Global credit rating agency Fitch has put the United States’ ‘AAA’ credit rating on “rating watch negative” based on stalled debt ceiling negotiations.

The real question of the day is, "What took so long?"   After all, with the Federal Reserve printing trillions of phony Obama Dollars every year it is not like our currency has any real value. 

"Although Fitch continues to believe that the debt ceiling will be raised soon, the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a US default," Fitch wrote in a release Tuesday afternoon. 

The agency said the US Treasury, though it could still make some obliged payments after October 17, may be exposed to “volatile revenue and expenditure flows” based on the impasse in Washington reports RT News.

“The US risks being forced to incur widespread delays of payments to suppliers and employees, as well as social security payments to citizens - all of which would damage the perception of US sovereign creditworthiness and the economy,” Fitch wrote.

Halted talks on raising the debt ceiling risk "undermining confidence in the role of the US dollar as the preeminent global reserve currency, by casting doubt over the full faith and credit of the US,” Fitch went on. “This ‘faith’ is a key reason why the US 'AAA' rating can tolerate a substantially higher level of public debt than other 'AAA' sovereigns.” 

"The announcement reflects the urgency with which Congress should act to remove the threat of default hanging over the economy," a US Treasury spokesperson said. 

In August 2011, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the US credit rating from ‘AAA’ (outstanding) to ‘AA+’ (excellent) amid a similar stalemate in Washington on raising the debt ceiling. 

Call me crazy, but maybe default would be a good thing.  Bankruptcy would be a true shock to the political system that would force real changes in money printing, spending and debt.

“We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper,
mere paper, representing not gold nor silver; no sir, representing
nothing but broken promises, bad faith, bankrupt corporations, 
 cheated creditors and a ruined people.”

Denial is not just a river in Egypt
Both the U.S. and world are living a fantasy that the dollar has any real value.  To bottom line it, the dollar is only paper and it is losing value by the day through endless money printing.  At some point the bubble will burst and no one will want to buy our debt.

N.H. City Wants a "Tank" to Use Against Libertarians

The Militarization of America's Police

Concord police listed non-violent groups as domestic

terror threats in a federal grant application

After the public release of a document in which he suggested that Occupiers and libertarians pose a domestic terror threat to Concord, New Hampshire, the city's police chief has backed away from the claim.

In an application to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking more than $250,000 to purchase an armored police vehicle, the capital city of New Hampshire specified the local branch of the Occupy movement and the Free State Project, an effort to recruit "liberty-loving people" to relocate to the Granite State, as potential sources of terrorist action.

"The State of New Hampshire's experience with terrorism slants primarily towards the domestic type," the filing reads. "We are fortunate that our State has not been victimized from a mass casualty event from an international terrorism strike however on the domestic front, the threat is real and here. Groups such as the Sovereign Citizens, Free Staters and Occupy New Hampshire are active and present daily challenges," reports Mother Jones.


"Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon,
but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."
Captain John Parker
at Lexington

The application was obtained by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union (NHCLU) through a public records request, and is one of more than 250 filed by the American Civil Liberties Union to track what it sees as the increasing militarization of police departments throughout the country.

While the sovereign citizens movement has a history of racism and violence, Police Chief John Duval now says that he doesn't actually believe the Free State Project or Occupy New Hampshire are domestic terror threats. "I wish I would have worded things different in retrospect," he says. "I understand why their eyebrows are raised about that." He chalks up the wording to the limitations of writing a detailed proposal in only three pages and says it was meant to refer to the "unpredictable nature of unpredictable people who attach themselves to otherwise lawful situations."

Duval has no plans to issue a formal apology, but he has exchanged emails with Carla Gericke, president of the Free State Project, to explain his position, which he has also attempted to clarify with local reporters.

The city's application says the vehicle, a Lenco BearCat G3, could be used to respond to acts of terrorism involving "chemical, biological, and radiological materials as well as explosive gases" and smaller-scale crises such as "suicidal and hostage situations."

That explanation is unlikely to satisfy Gericke, who accuses the city of "acting in secrecy and making false allegations behind our backs."

Her organization has referred to the vehicle, which is built atop a Ford F-550 frame and has armor that can sustain .50-caliber rifle fire, as a "tank."

She says the the Free State Project has received "overwhelmingly" positive feedback about its concerns. "I think that law enforcement doesn't necessarily understand where we're coming from," she says. "I think they think we're anti-police, but really what we are is pro-freedom and pro-accountability." (Gericke does note that she is suing the Weare, New Hampshire, police department for arresting her in 2011 on a wiretapping charge, later dropped, for allegedly recording a police traffic stop.) On Monday, the Free State Project demanded an apology from city officials.

This Friday, Occupy New Hampshire plans to hold its first general assembly in more than a year to discuss the application. Occupy demonstrations across the country have been met with police using armored vehicles. A May 2012 protest in Oakland, California, for example, drew out a $323,000 vehicle purchased by county officials from the private military company formerly known as Blackwater.

"The Free State movement and Occupy New Hampshire have no history of violence, so it's very unclear why any police department would need to use an armored vehicle when addressing these groups," says Devon Chaffee, executive director of the NHCLU. "But we all agree that we want the police and we want our communities to be safe, and what this conversation is about is really what type of equipment and tactics are most appropriate to achieve that goal. I think this application has sparked a very important conversation."

While DHS has approved Concord's request, the city council, which unanimously approved the application last September, plans to meet next Monday to first address lingering concerns.
