"The January 6 insurrection is a paradigmatic example of this. Civilian authorities — the Capitol Police — were manifestly overwhelmed.” It was NOT an ‘insurrection'… it was a political rally, that due to a few well placed agent provocateurs, turned into a riot.

This issue is about whether the ARMY can be used in the US against Americans. By law it is for FOREIGN enemies. The police (and sometimes, rarely, national guard) are for domestic policing. We don't want tanks in our streets, guys.

Rather ominous. An army with divisions consisting of "illegal aliens" has zero affinity for the population and more so when having been indoctrinated by the notorious cabal-owned MSM.

No, we don't. However, could it be needed in the following scenario? If the President (whomever that might be) were to grant amnesty and citizenship to all the unlawful immigrants, we might have a situation whereby enemies of the nation are ‘officially’ citizens… you might need to rebuff a color revolution either by internal sabotage or by exterior forces instigating revolution. UN? China? Iran? Others?

Looking at the scenes of "January 6" as an outside observer in Australia, I can tell you now that was a piss poor excuse for a riot. The BLM folks were rioting. The January 6 folks looked like they were part of a very large and very disorganised tour group. I remember even seeing the tour guides outside ushering people to go in different directions pointing them to the entrance, and even the Capitol Police doing the same.

I don't know they are all 'enemies', I never like to group everyone in the same bucket, but there were some individuals playing by a different playbook than the majority of people there.

Unfortunately it's not just the DOD under the Biden/ Harris administration that is threatening to violate the Posse Comitatus Act and the Bill of Rights. Trump recently remarked that he would like to use the National Guard/ Military against political opponents. Here is the quote from Trump:

"I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics...It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the national guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen."

(Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-military-national-guard-election-day-b2628522.html)

So whether or not Trump or Harris wins the election, the US Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act are in danger of being violated. And don't let anyone tell you the Constitution HAD to be abandoned because it was a national emergency, war, martial law, etc. The Constitution was designed to be upheld even in wartime. This is evident in the text of the 5th Amendment which reads as follows:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Thus the ONLY exception to the legal protections of the Bill of Rights in criminal proceedings are for active duty members of the military/ militia during wartime or times of public danger. They ALONE may be governed under martial law, which is how the military governs itself and the law it operates under in theaters of war overseas.

Importantly, active duty "militia" in the Constitutional context referred to what was essentially a state level "army" called into service by their governors. Thus this term cannot simply be applied to anyone deemed to be "engaged in hostilities" (which according to some people might include writing comments such as this on Substack).

The 4th and 6th Amendments spell out further legal protections that constitute the due process requirements mentioned in the 5th Amendment, including a trial by jury in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, the right to a lawyer, the right to cross examine one's accusers, call in witnesses in one's favor, etc.

Nowhere in his quote did Trump advocate for using the military against his 'political opponents'. He advocated using the US Military to rout-out the "bad people from within" our government: ie., the hidden and secretive hand of the deep state actors, who are secretly controlling the US. Federal government through the executive alphabet agencies. These deep state actors are "some very bad people ..... some sick people": such as the warmongering neocons, as well as the "radical left lunatics" pushing cancel culture, critical race theory, the LGBTQ and anti family agendas, and drag queen story hours in our elementary schools. No where did Trump advocate for using the military against his 'political opponents'. However, the Biden regime recently released an executive order allowing the DOD to issue Directive 540.01, a blatant act of executive overreach. This is the more important story here. DOD Directive 540.01, allows the US Military to be called upon to assist law enforcement under certain conditions - such as the people protesting against the fraudulent certification of vote totals in the upcoming presidential election; such a directive being issued 30 days prior to a US Presidential election is very suspect, especially considering the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ that we have witnessed under the Biden/Harris regime. Accuracy when interpreting quotes matters!

Trump's statement about using the military to go after "radical left lunatics" implies that there is an element of political persecution in Trump's intent to use the military for law enforcement purposes. The fact that he also wants to go after some crooked RINOs does not negate the political nature of his threats.

Either way, our military is not supposed to be used for domestic law enforcement. There's no exception in the Posse Comitatus Act for the worst, most crooked, criminal politician imaginable. And there's no exception to the due process requirements spelled out in the Bill of Rights, not even for pedophiles, traitors, or very bad, sick people. Even the worst offenders still deserve a fair trial as described in the Bill of Rights. Nor is there any allowance in the Bill of Rights for applying martial law to criminal proceedings against Americans unless they are active duty members of the military/ militia during wartime.

That's not to say that a Biden/ Harris administration isn't at least as much of a threat to the US Constitution as a Trump administration. But regardless of who is in power, our military swore an oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution, not some Executive Order or DOD directive or the Law of War Manual for that matter. So no matter who gives the order to use the military against Americans, if that order conflicts with the US Constitution, then it is an unlawful order and a violation of their oath to office if they follow it.

"Trump's statement about using the military to go after radical left lunatics implies that there is an element of political persecution in Trump's intent" - that is your opinion and your opinion only. Trump makes it quite clear who the 'enemies within are'! But those very same 'radical left lunatics' - beginning with Hillary's Steele dossier, sure as hell have and are still persecuting Trump viciously with lawfare, false accusations and innuendo.

The head Psychologist at Camp Pendelton did a survey of the troops by asking the question,"would you have a problem killing American civilians if ordered to do so?" 98% said "no problem". He released the findings to the press. The San Diego Union ran it headline. It caused quite a three day stir. I saw later that he was court marshaled and in the brig awaiting trial. I heard nothing further. Another hero crucified I am sure. 98% of Americans had no problem with the Epstein murder to keep him from talking about why Clinton's name was circled in the butler's book. Only 3 names circled.

Are you saying that the insane number of dual Israeli citizens in positions of power in our country isn't a problem? Look at what happened with 911. They planned it, executed it, and then spun it into endless wars in the middle east, causing the majority of the illegal migration. They control everything and it's getting worse.

And your dual citizenship shouldn't be allowed either. Pick a team and make that country great.

I read, “the Federalist Papers”, it stated, posse comitatus was too broad. It does need to be refined. We have seen it with martial law. (is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.)

I can’t say that this overrides the posse, since it was written in 1800’s. I was in martial law 2x. It’s horrible. The treatment is strict. I would like to know why this is coming up…

Thanks for this Great Post ! (Glad I stuck around.) Is it true that Trumps 'Operation Warp Speed' authorized the DoD to produce bio-medical countermeasures that were the Covid-19 'vaxxes' ? And so that challenged 'Posse Comitatus' prohibiting the US Military from operating on US soil ? And that thereafter, only the HHC commissioner had to grant approval for these shots to be administered to the general public. And the criteria used was that they 'might' be effective ?

Then DoD personnel are now essentially domestic terrorists, and since I happen to believe in Baby Bush's "preemptive strike" doctrine as it applies to dealing with terrorists, I grant myself the authorization to preemptively strike any DoD personnel--especially leadership--if I deem it appropriate, if these people are functionally ordering our military to attack my fellow citizens illegally and unconstitutionally in the domestic theater. Any political leadership who would order or sign off on this tyrannical protocol are also legitimate targets for neutralization as domestic terrorists.

I don't have any personal experience with the texts, but legislators do very sneaky things in omnibus bills and NDAAs are always voluminous. In similar fashion, multiple martial law declarations in America's history were never revoked.
