dear friends:
hr 1388 is pending in congress, it is entitled the "generations invigorating volunteerism and education act," and it calls for the expenditure of $6 billion in the next five years to educate and put into uniform as many as 250,000 volunteers, and for the establishment of a 4 year "public service academy" to train these volunteers.
does this sound like an extension of vista to you? it sounds like the establishment of an american "brown shirts" to me.
a while back i wrote a long (and admittedly difficult for the casual reader to access) article on b. "insane" obama's desire to establish a private security force as large and as "well funded" as the united states military. my notes to this article were also published, setting forth the scale of the u.s. military, so that the reader could have some grasp of the implications of that statement. the link to that piece is below:
a bit tip of the ol' hat to charlotte, at familysecuritymatters, who forwards the below piece, which i set forth in full, and accompanied by a link to it. the article is by maj. general jerry r. curry (ret'd.), and it is confirmation, i believe, of my analysis. in my experience, maj. generals, retired or otherwise, as usually not prone to histrionics, or in taking undue alarm: i think you may take his assessment most seriously.
before i set the curry piece out, i would like to mention one other thing. in the post above, i took considerable pains to describe a conference hosted 2006 in caracas, venezuela by hugo chavez, w/ the american communist educator/revolutionary/murderer/bomber/friend of obama bill ayers in attendance, in which they discussed the value of leftist education to indoctrinate the youth of a nation. this conference was also discussed at length by professor sol stern, http://www.city-journal.org/html/16_3_ed_school.html/ , and i would ask you to read that article as well. at that conference, with chavez on the dais with him, ayers said of educating the young:
“luis [bonilla] has taught me a great deal about the bolivarian revolution and about the profound educational reforms underway here in venezuela under the leadership of president chavez. we share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution, and i’ve come to appreciate luis as a major asset in both the venezuelan and the international struggle—i look forward to seeing how he and all of you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.
“viva la revolucion bolivariana! hasta la victoria siempre!”
you really have no excuse to remain unenlightened about these matters. please note, again, this time in light of ayer's pronouncements, the name of hr 1388 is the "generations invigorating volunteerism and education act." get it? do you get it?

OBAMA’S PERSONAL SECURITY FORCE
By Maj. Gen. Jerry R. Curry (ret'd)
CurryforAmerica.com
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded,” said Barak Hussein Obama on July 2, 2008. His words require a bit of translating, however.
In plain English, President Obama has set national security objectives which he has yet to share with the American people. According to his statement he is convinced that the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, constituted as they are, are either unreliable or unable to accomplish the national security objectives he has chosen. So, he intends to ask Congress to authorize, fund and build a civilian national security force that is, “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded,” as America’s military forces.
To be as strong as our current armed forces, Obama’s civilian army will have to be able to match the Army and Marines tank for tank, missile for missile, and battalion for battalion. It will have to match the Navy and Coast Guard ship for ship, and the Air Force fighter plane for fighter plane and bomber for bomber.
His civilian force’s congressionally approved budget will require appropriations that match the Pentagon’s current budget level dollar for dollar. According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama expects to fund his private security force with a $6 billion allocation over the next five years. Though that is not equivalent to the nation’s current military budget allocation, it is still not a paltry sum.
That is how we must interpret Obama’s words if we take them and him at face value. But does Obama really mean what he said or was it just campaign rhetoric? If it was only rhetoric, there should be no effort to follow up with concrete proposals or appropriations.
So what is one to think about H.R. 1388, Obama’s National Civilian Security Force bill which is slowly working its way around Capital Hill? It is formally named the “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act.” It provides for uniforms to be worn by the young volunteers (up to 250,000 of them) and for the establishment of a 4-year “public service academy” to train new public service leaders. From this it is reasonable to conclude that there must be fire somewhere in the middle of all of Obama’s rhetorical smoke.
Where is there an historical example of a nation having a civilian national security force that rivals the size of its military forces? Why, in the early 1930s Germany, of course. The force was called the “Brown Shirts” and was used to bully, intimidate, and indoctrinate individuals and political parties that opposed the German government’s policies, in much the same manner as ACORN’s (The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) thugs for hire do in Chicago today.
We can safely assume that such an organization would take its orders directly from the President just as the Brown Shirts did in Germany and just as do Obama’s current White House Czars today. Left alone to develop and mature on its own, such a national security force could prove to be quite dangerous to our Constitution and to the liberty and freedom of all Americans.
Only the U.S. Military could control such a civilian security force if it went rogue, and that would have to be by brute force. For the Administration to counter the military’s use of force, it would have to somehow subvert the military so that while its forces are declining in power, the brown shirts are increasing in power.
In the process, the President would become a law and a power unto himself – whom no one could control -- with a civilian army or security force readily at hand to do his personal bidding, unchecked by Congress or the Courts. Eventually there would no longer be the separation of powers that our Founders so wisely established. And as history teaches us, under such a scenario the President would become a de facto dictator.
But the descendants of those who survived Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and Bastogne are neither easily fooled nor easily misled. While a few misguided politicians may stupidly or maliciously agree to form a sizeable civilian national security force and even plot to upset the constitutional system we so cherish, they will not succeed.
Having spent most of my life in the U.S. Army, much of it in foxholes, I can say without hesitation that the U.S. military will not stand idly by while the Constitution is being abrogated and destroyed. So let us remain vigilant and never forget, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
update: this post at atlas shrugs. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/03/obamas-private-youth-army-recruiting-8-year-olds.html
our dear wanna be facist dictator, the resident in chief b. insane obama, proceeds apace with his plans for to impose a totalitarian state upon the united states. please read the fine post above from atlas shrugs. pamela geller has hit the nail on the head, squarely, one more time.
friends, the damned to hell democrats are not giving up. they will impose dictatorship if given a chance. it is just about time to take the streets with knives & hatchets & burning staves.
this excerpt from atlas shrugs:
First of all, it needs to be said: Obama, get your hands off our kids. Seriously. Stop the fascist recruitment. It's sick.
Obama said he was going to build a civilian army -- and he is using our children. How? He uses the classrooms, as I exclusively broke the story here: Organizing for America recruitment in the classroom.
But AmeriCorps (can Obama pronounce the second syllable?) is the machinery for his youth army. And there is huge dough behind it -- yours and mine.
A year ago, Obama's putsch of hope and change rammed the huge “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE act), HR 1388, through the Senate:
He tied his FEMA Scheme for the Civilian Security Defense Force into this legislation, but now they’re called “National Volunteer Reserve Corps.” This creates images of the Peace Corps, but it is something far more sinister. In addition, the legislation is targeting foster kids, disadvantaged teens and more specifically BLACK colleges and universities. Reading the provisions, it smacks of a program tailor-made for ACORN. It is a bill that has reverse discrimination all over it as it is NOT designed for middle-class Americans to benefit from — regardless of your race.
the article is by maj. general jerry r. curry (ret'd.), and it is confirmation, i believe, of my analysis. in my experience, maj. generals, retired or otherwise, as usually not prone to histrionics, or in taking undue alarm: i think you may take his assessment most seriously.
