If this catches on, Obama will be needing his Gestapo-esque "civilian
security force" even more than he thought. The Oath Keepers describe
themselves as
a non-partisan association of currently serving military,
reserves, National Guard, peace officers, and veterans who swore an
oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic … and meant it.
Consequently, they affirm and declare the following:
1. We will NOT obey any order to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey any order to conduct warrantless searches of
the American people, their homes, vehicles, papers, or effects — such
as warrantless house-to house searches for weapons or persons.
3. We will NOT obey any order to detain American citizens as
"unlawful enemy combatants" or to subject them to trial by military
tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a "state of
emergency" on a state, or to enter with force into a state, without
the express consent and invitation of that state's legislature and
governor.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that
asserts its sovereignty and declares the national government to be in
violation of the compact by which that state entered the Union.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus
turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any
form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any
foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to "keep the
peace" or to "maintain control" during any emergency, or under any
other pretext. We will consider such use of foreign troops against our
people to be an invasion and an act of war.
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the
American people, including food and other essential supplies, under
any emergency pretext whatsoever.
10. We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the
people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their
government for a redress of grievances.
Obama et al.'s strategy has been to move very quickly, burying radical
legislation in gargantuan spending bills they push through under cover
of the complicit liberal media before opposition can cohere. Kudos to
the Oath Keepers for getting a step ahead. Unless the collectivists
running Washington are economic cretins, they know that flushing
$trillions down the toilet during a severe recession will likely
collapse the economy, resulting in the chaos totalitarians are adept
at exploiting. They're planning on it. Those who believe this country
is worth fighting for had better plan on it too.
