on july 2, 2008 barack obama spoke before an invited audience of military personnel and americorp volunteers, and advocated/proposed the creation of a civilian national security force as large, well funded and well equipped as the american military.
i blogged extensively on that speech, and what he meant by it. my initial post, in august of 2009, is found here, http://wintersoldier2008.typepad.com/summer_patriot_winter_sol/2009/08/a-modest-inquiry-just-what-did-the-silly-bastard-mean-when-he-said-he-wanted-a-civilian-national-sec.html . you may find an index of the posts i have written on this topic in the post immediately preceding this article. http://wintersoldier2008.typepad.com/summer_patriot_winter_sol/2012/10/obamas-private-army-a-list-of-previous-posts-going-back-to-aug-2009-.html .
i am not going to rehash all that i have written. pamela geller at atlas shrugs and i were very early in writing about his, and with my index and her excellent "thread indexes" you can look up our early writings.
you think this not a real threat to your liberty? farfetched?
well, be advised that september 23, 2012 the government graduated a class of 231 cadets to provide a cadre of leaders to obama's "national security force." http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/obamas-blue-shirts-homeland-security-graduates-1st-class-of-fema-youth-corps/ . as noted in my previous post, i am not familiar with this website, and i do not know how much of the legislative and institutional structure the blog author knows about. that's o.k., you can read my previous posts and learn about that.
i think the author a bit histrionic with regard to just how much damage can be done by 231 people, just right now. this thing is in its infancy.
i think the author spot on, however, in his concern over what this portends, and what it might become, if the wanna be tyrant obama is re-elected. i don't know his views on other topics, but the concerns he voices for the devlopment and growth of the "fema corps" into a civilian army to do obama's biding, are also my concerns. in this view of the potential of all of this to grow into tyranny, i do not think the author of this post histrionic in the least.
the following link is a f.e.m.a. news release regarding the graduating ceremony. http://www.fema.gov/news-release/nations-first-fema-corps-members-sworn-begin-disaster-response-service . it bear a careful review and careful read, because it does not raise in the slightest those topics i have listed in my previous postings.
take a look at the financial incentives with regard to the "service" described. understand that such service is to provide financial benefit during its course, ... , lodging, three hots and a cot, and other incentives.
do you have any doubt as to whom will enlist, and who will be chosen for such service. it will be a leftist cadre. read my other posts, and become familiar with the police powers to be extended to this cadre. and, read the links at the "fellowship of the mind" article to understand that this can turn into a para military organization right now. they already have armored vehicles, and ammo. and, they have been seen, apparently, in uniform.
it is something to be very concerned about.

p.s. warning: these posts are very rough, in terms of graphics and the like. the sources were varied, and the word processor here did very little to reconcile all the various type faces, punctuation and codes taken from all those sources.
it makes for a difficult read.
but, if you want to learn, you can find the information you need, if you are willing to slog through it.
