H.R. 675 Civilian National Security Force

Below is a post I put up Sept '09 related to the Civilian National Security Force. In referring back to it I noticed a section which had been incorporated into the Health Care bill. The wording was very familiar in both bills. Mention of the term "relief workers " in HR 675, it is also included in the Health Care Bill HR3300 section 5200. In both bills these relief workers are mentioned as being available for domestic and international work, however Obama originally never referenced an international mission for these workers.

In HR 675 the "emergency relief workers" are DOD cops and fall under the direction of the DOD. Under HR 3300 the relief workers called for here fall under the authority of the Surgeon General.

This relief force made up of cops and paramedics would be reporting to two different Departments, DoD and Homeland Security ( the Surgeon General is part of Dept of H.S.)

What is FEMA's job then? Why do we need FEMA ? Why are we replacing FEMA with two new layers of relief workers, controlled by separated departments? Why did Obama fail to mention or envision an international response mission for these workers?
Should our Health Care costs include a disaster relief force? Isn't this the role of the national guard? Why not just increase the size of the national guard?

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 DOD 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 HR3300 these emergency relief workers are supposedly medical personnel. HR3300 takes great pains to mention "overseas" duty.

HR3300 ObamaCare Health Bill

HR 675
If you go to opencongress.gov H.R. 675 is viewable. About (2)pages long. Currently it is sitting in committee. For this to become a bill the House and Senate must pass it and then give it to the White House for signing into law.

The Bill calls for Dept of Defense civilian policemen, gamewardens, and criminal investigators be given arrest and firearm carry powers. The proposed new positions have been given unique job classification numbers.

As civilian employees in the DOD, these people would be under the authority of the chief executive (Obama).
Everything that Obama does appears innocent enough on the surface, but once a light is shone upon it, questions arise. A law enforcement bill to aide DoD with securing the nation sounds like a good thing. When the logic behind such a move is considered and taken in hand with Obama's marxists agenda, dangerously troubling inconsistencies come to mind.Why does the DoD, for starters, need a police force? The Dept of Homeland Security contains the law enforcement branch of the Fed. The ATF, FBI, CIA, Customs, Border Patrol, Coast Guard, DEA, ICE. Why does the DoD need a pool of criminal investigators? Why does the Attorney General need to oversee aspects of the DoD? Isn't the Justice Dept large enough for Eric Holder? The Dept of Interior house our Park Rangers , why would "Game Wardens" be assigned as DoD employees? Is Sgt Bilko a deer poacher,are the Marines unrepentant unlicensed fishermen? As far as securing the nation, the Border Patrol was recently notified some 650 positions would be eliminated from their organization. Why are we drawing down one law enforcement group charged with securing our borders, only to be replaced by a proposed new band of police investigators, and game wardens?

By placing this new force under the realm of DoD and then applying the ACORN funding model, would this be a means to quietly fund and or divert traditional massive DoD funds for staffing and arming this new force. Money could be multi-transferred throughout DoD round and round until finally coming to rest with the Civilian National Security Defense Force thus screening Congressional or public oversight.

While H.R. 675 simmers in Congress, Obama ever true to Alinsky's rules, targets those who oppose him, with preparatory ridicule, isolationistic rhetoric and minimization. We are being set apart as extremist, and conspiracy alarmists. Just as the Jews were detrained at the concentration camps, we are undergoing the "selection" process. Some go to the right, some go to the left,never to be heard from again.

Obama's Civilian National Security Force will partly come from these proposed DoD civilian "policemen" "criminal investigators" and "game wardens". Others will come from rag tag outfits. Van Jones even stated inmates from San Quinten (and other prisons) could be used by the administration. Any nefarious criminal group eager for a piece of the action and the promise of a presidential pardon for past sins in exchange for services rendered would bring many a have gun will travel thug to Obama's Security Force.

Then we have Latin America. Chavez has hopes to bring Honduras under his direct control, already Ecuador and Bolivia are puppet states to his Venezuela dictatorship. Obama's Honduran responses have been consistent with aiding and abetting Chavez. Chavez praised Obama at he U.N. knowing full well the future promises more rewards from Obama, for Latin American Marxists help.

Everyday less and less, in my opinion, we no longer resemble a nation of 305 million united under our Constitution. We are Leftist Communists, Rightist Constitutionalists, Hispanics, Black Nationalists, White Powerists, Apathetics, Anarchists,Atheists, Gays, Hedonists, the Lawless, and the ever present Undecideds anything but a united people.

Perhaps we as a nation have reached the point where our personal agendas no longer coincide to the point where we can be a country "One Nation Under God". So be it.

H.R. 675: Building Obama’s Civilian National Security Force

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
June 23, 2009In 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.

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.”

  4. I fail to see the concern with this bill. That's because this will not create new positions. Rather, it will put existing federal police on firmer legal ground. I know this, because I'm one of the federal police officers potentially affected by this bill. As it is right now, 0083 officers have questionable legal authority with regards to law enforcement duties on federal property. Some places view them as full-fledged LEOs, others as overpaid security guards. It's particularly bad on military bases. There, the base commanders tend to use ambiguity in the existing law to keep civilian police from fully doing their jobs and acting more like military police (prohibited from domestic law enforcement). The training also varies widely from agency to agency, making it hard to build working relationships with local civilian agencies and each other. The biggest issue is money and benefits. 1811 officers have a far better retirement package than 0083 officers. This would merely put us more on an even keel with what we've been doing all along. As a result, the government will finally have to put our benefits, training, retirement and legal authority on an even keel across the board and remove the uncertainty we often feel when a change of command occurs, forcing us to wait to see if the new Co is Pro- or Anti-civilian police. We will continue to do our job no matter what-we have to. This will merely help us stand up for what we should have had along. You can best believe-I'm no jack-boot wanna be.

  5. "A Police force just as well funded as our military" and you see no problem with this?

    Our military receives $650 Billion a year to protect this nation. And there are some 2,000,000 active and reserve personal.

    Do we need a 2,000,000 man NATIONAL POLICE FORCE? I think at the funding level Obama proposes, there has to be more to it than meets the eye.

    Can you say DOMESTIC ARMY directly controlled by Obama. A Pretorean Guard. His Private Army. Wake Up!

  6. Sounds just like Star Wars with Palpatine. Is Obama building a clone army? Wake up people they r taking away your civil liberties. Did u read the Bill? Did u know it say these people will be able 2 make arrests"without warrants" according 2 the constitution a judge must issue a warrant so that would violate your rights

  7. As An American WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT ANY OF THIS in the FIRST place. Answer that then there are only two other solutions one is my way and the other is cowardism.... sad but true
    what ever you so called Amercians do, do not listen to any Law Enforcement as these Criminals are jsut as bad as the ones on the street. When you put drugs back on the street to sell, and allow murder and rape to be overlooked by paying off judges in courts to not prosecute them and diligently abuse the victims and there families they are no better. The yare the reason mostly o why all of this is the way it is....
