Obama Considered Using Military Against Bundy And Supporters by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | May 29, 2014

Pentagon directive authorizes use of federal troops and drones in violation of Posse Comitatus Bill Gertz, writing for The Washington Times, reports the Obama administration had considered using the military during a standoff between Cliven Bundy and the BLM in Nevada in April. A 2010 Pentagon authorization, Directive No. 3025.18, “Defense Support of Civil Authorities,” issued on December 29, 2010, states U.S. military commanders “are provided emergency authority” to use military arms and forces, including drones, in domestic unrest situations. The directive is in direct conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act. The federal law, enacted following Reconstruction in 1878, prohibits the federal government from using federal military troops to enforce the state laws. Posse Comitatus was modified under the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (H.R. 5122). Section 1076 of the act allows the federal government to use “the Armed Forces in major public emergencies… as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition.”


The 2010 Pentagon directive states “Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the president in accordance with applicable law or permitted under emergency authority.” The Pentagon directive, however, appears to allow the military to act without consulting the president as stipulated under the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act. “In these circumstances, those federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the president is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” under two conditions, namely “to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order” and when it is determined that federal, state and local authorities “are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for federal property or federal governmental functions.” The Bundy standoff concluded after a number of supporters responded to heavily armed BLM agents. The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police launched investigations into allegations armed Bundy supporters threatened federal agents.

Biden Urges Air Force Cadets To Create ‘New World Order’ by Tom Roeder | Stripes.com | May 29, 2014

The reference to a “New World Order” echoed a similar goal set by President George Bush Under a blazing sun, Vice President Joe Biden challenged graduating Air Force Academy cadets on Wednesday to help create a “new world order for the 21st century.”


Biden called on images from the end of World War II, part of a White House push to burnish a foreign policy that has been challenged by Russian aggression and continued trouble from North Africa to Afghanistan. “I believe we and mainly you have an incredible opportunity to lead in shaping a new world order for the 21st century in a way consistent with American interests and common interests,” Biden said before shaking hands with 995 members of the class of 2014. The reference to a “new world order” echoed a similar goal set by President George Bush after the collapse of European communism. Biden described the new order as a world that seeks human rights, free trade and an end to poverty and oppression. “First and foremost our work begins by rebuilding America’s foundations, our economic foundations, our moral and strategic foundations,” he told cadets. That work, Biden said, won’t see America leave the world stage. “One thing we know, if America isn’t on the field, the vacuum will be filled,” Biden told cadets and a crowd of more than 22,000 people in Falcon Stadium. Biden described administration plans to leave nearly 10,000 troops in Afghanistan after combat operations end on Dec. 31. And, according to Biden, those troops will have the responsibility of tracking down the remnants of al-Qaida. The Afghan government hasn’t signed off on a continued U.S. troop presence after a United Nations mandate for the U.S. mission there expires on Dec. 31. Biden said he understands those who want all U.S. forces home and said those feelings are similar to sentiments following the end of World War II. “There was an overwhelming desire of our grandparents and my parent’s generation to bring home every single one of the 12 million forces stationed in Europe and Asia,” he said. The continued military presence abroad after World War II, though, served a high purpose, he said.


“They knew they had to lay a foundation for a new world order, an order that brought the longest period of sustained and peace in Europe and Asia,” he said. Biden made several references to Russian aggression, restating a U.S. guarantee of a democratic Ukraine. He also decried “the use of corruption and oligarchs as a sinister tool of foreign policy,” but did not mention Russian president Vladimir Putin. Biden said the nation must turn its focus to the Pacific. In that, the Democrat, praised China as a friend and trade partner, but also said it hasn’t captured America’s ability to innovate. Biden got a smattering of applause during the policy portion of his speech, and shouts and cheers when he praised cadets. “You are Falcons and you carry America on your back,” he said, rallying a crowd that sweltered in the sun and 80-degree temperatures in Falcon Stadium. “And America will have your back forever.” Senior Cadet Charles Lewis of Colorado Springs wasn’t thinking about Biden’s speech so much as getting a diploma and shaking Biden’s hand. “It’s great to finally make it through,” Lewis said. “It’s the culminating thing, and then I’m finally done,” Lewis said.
