ZEROHEDGE: U.S. Military Now Authorized to Kill Americans on U.S. Soil? Ah, by "American," do you mean citizens only?

US Government is getting ready to kill its citizens. It must be clear to everyone that all our governments in the West are run by traitors. Ron Paul warns that the US military was just “authorized to kill Americans on US soil … " Daniel McAdams:
“It’s not a law, it’s a DoD Directive. So, this is the administrative state, where they take over, they don’t pass laws".
I thought that the Chevron Deference eliminated this.
"It’s a DoD Directive that was re-issued September 27, 2024".  
"It governs the Department of Defense intelligence activities, and now includes provisions authorizing lethal force in certain circumstances, and it supplants the 2016 version which did not mention that.”

"U.S. Military Now Authorized to Kill Americans on U.S. Soil?" Ron Paul points out what no one else likes to see. "This would open up the door for the careless and legal use of the military to kill Americans. And by Americans, does the DoD really mean that illegal and undocumented are exempt from murder by your government? "Send in the troops. We need you to shoot a couple of these people."

SCOTT HORTON: Putting Israel first is treason to the United States of America

But does anyone other than MSNBC anchors really believe that if re-elected Trump is going to clean house at any of these agencies or departments.  We all know he's just going to put a warhawk friend, like Mike Pompeo, in charge and trust him again.  --Scott Horton

Scott Horton speech from LNC 2024 

12:10  Trump says that we need to ban Muslim travel to America until we figure out what's going on.  Well, Ron Paul already explained it.  It was Bush, Sr., and Bill Clinton bombing Iraq from bases in Saudi for 10 years as part of the Israeli-inspired dual containment policy as well as their support for Israel's slaughter of the Palestinians and Lebanese that motivated bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers.  Putting Israel first is treason to the United States of America.  Blaming radical Islam for terrorism is a ridiculous red herring, like blaming radical Catholicism for the IRA's war against the British in Northern Ireland.  Hilariously, Trump recently accused Benjamin Netanyahu's number one co-conspirator, Joe ACAden, of abandoning Israel for temporarily holding up delivery of 2,000-pound bombs they've been using to kill tens of thousands of women and children.  One GOP congressman filed articles of impeachment over it.  Impeachment over temporarily holding up an arms deal to a country we are not even allies with.  Who ever heard of such a crazy thing, right?  It's just another case of the Republicans acting exactly like the Democrats.  Read the room, guys.  The American people do not believe in the wars anymore.  

14:03  In August 1982, President Ronald Reagan wrote in his diary about calling Israeli Menachem Begin regarding his bombing of civilians in Lebanon, 
Met with the news that the Israelis delivered the most devastating bomb and artillery attack on West Beruit lasting 14 hours.  I call PM Begin immediately.  I was angry.  I told him it had to stop or our entire future relationship was in danger.  I used the word Holocaust deliberately and said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off.  Twenty minutes later, he called me to tell me he ordered an end to the barrage and plead for our continued friendship. 

President Biden apparently has far less courage when it comes to standing up for American interests than President Reagan.  Senator Biden actually advised Begin to be even more ruthless back then just as he's encouraging and abetting Netanyahu's merciless canned hunt in Gaza now.  And all Trump can do is to attack Biden for not being bloodthirsty enough.  What a disgrace!  Speaking of which, October 7th and its aftermath was the direct result of Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's godson, Jared Kushner, and billionaire mega-donor, Sheldon Adelson's Middle East policy, the Netanyahu Doctrine, including the so-called Deal of the Century and the Abraham Accords were the pay-off to Hamas and the sellout to the Palestinian people that made last fall's attack inevitable.  Just 4 weeks before October 7, Netanyahu sent the head of Mousad to Qatar to pressure them to continue to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas all for the purposes of dividing and conquering the Palestinians, a policy for which the Israeli outlet Ynet, during his time in office the Qataris got a waiver from Trump's Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnunchin, so they would not be sanctioned for backing a known terrorist group.  

16:46  Just two weeks before the attack, Netanyahu gave a speech at the UN, bragging that he'd gotten away with permanently denying the Palestinians independence.  Then all Hell broke loose.  The policy they call "Buying Quiet" failed.  There's a very real risk that in his next term, President Trump will double down on his errors and help the Likud finish the job and cleanse all 5 million Palestinians in the occupied territories into the Negev Desert, Sinai Peninsula, or Jordan.  The dishonest, cynical blasphemer, John Hagee, and his flock of misled sheep will love it.  Future American victims of terrorism and the Geneva Conventions be damned!  I wouldn't be surprised if Trump tried making Netanyahu the Prime Minister of the U.S. Senate.  Jared Kushner is already talking about building beachfront condos in Gaza.  If Donald Trump wants the Libertarians, the Ron Paul people, he will have to throw all the hawks overboard, and that means NeoCons, Nationalists, Liberal Globalists, and Likud.  We are anti-imperialists.  We oppose foreign interventionism and the National Security State root and branch.  America First does not mean that we can do whatever we want, like George W. Bush.  It means defend America first.  It means bring the Empire home, now!  Our government has no right to remain the dominant power in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East.  Global Intervention threatens our interests rather than protecting them.  And the people of this country simply cannot afford to rule the world anyway.  

19:00  Eight years ago, the CIA and FBI framed Donald Trump for treason with Russia.  None of Russiagate was true.  The Secret Police made it all up.  One, to try to prevent him from becoming the president.  Two, as an excuse to try to overthrow him using the 25th Amendment.  And three, finally after that didn't work, as the FBI told CNN "to reign him in so that he could not live up to his electoral mandate and forge a permanent peace with Russia.  Obviously, this worked beyond the war party's greatest hopes.  Instead of implementing Minsk 2, Trump continued Obama's policy of ignoring the peace deal and selling Ukraine weapons for 4 straight years before handing the government over to Biden who simply pressed the gas in the same direction the policy was still headed from when he had left the vice presidency 4 years before and leading to the current war.  Trump even tore up the intermediate nuclear forces and Open Skies Treaty and threatened to leave New Start, the last Russian treaty limiting overall stockpiles of nuclear weapons and ICBMs.  Just a few weeks ago, it was Trump's suggestion of a fake guaranteed loan for $60 billion worth of weapons for Ukraine at war with Russia that finally broke Congress's resistance and got the appropriation passed.  TV says that Trump's vendetta against his enemies in the permanent government threatens democracy since they figure the dishonorable perjurers at the FBI and Justice Department and bloody-handed regime changers at CIA somehow represent American self-government.  But does anyone other than MSNBC anchors really believe that if re-elected Trump is going to clean house at any of these agencies or departments.  We all know he's just going to put a Warhawk friend, like Mike Pompeo in charge and trust him again bet you dimes to dollars, dollars to dimes.    

You know as Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who inaugurated America's pivot to China in an article in Foreign Policy magazine in 2011.  That's what the TPP trade deal was all about--freezing China out.  Trump opposed it because he thought it wasn't protectionist enough.  Trump had just ratcheted Hillary's and Obama's policy up a couple of notches.  But notice that Biden has not backed off.  He's been more Trump than Trump in the Pacific, giving an explicit war guarantee to Taiwan and stationing more and more naval and air forces in the region.  And he's got all of Trump's tariffs and even increased them.  In the case of Russia and China, Trump's policy was just as bad, the same as Obama's and Biden's.  And if he takes office again next year, he'll be picking up right where he left off.  So what is the point of being separate from the American power elite when you're no different than the rest of them in practice anyway?  

22:35. Now here are two things that Trump was good on Afghanistan and North Korea.  He signed a deal to end the Afghan war thank goodness after escalating it for three of his four years first and Trump unfortunately let John Bolton ruin his talks with North Korea which could have led to a real peace deal and massive reduction in the threat of war.  That could potentially be his most important achievement right out of the gate if he were to be re-elected.  As Annie Jacobsen's new book, Nuclear War: A Scenario, 2024, shows, a deal to finally make peace in North Korea is of the highest importance.  The Libertarian Party voted on our top 10 issues we demand former President Trump address here today.  Nowhere on the list are any of the dumb scandals the Democrats keep manufacturing.  Instead, there are important things.  For a few, Trump encouraged and refused to halt the Fauci lockdowns of 2020.  As he put it, "a cure far worse than the disease."  In doing so, he violated every American's rights and permanently destroyed millions of his constituents' small American businesses in favor of his deadly enemy Jeff Bezos' Amazon.com, which did not have to shut down at all.  Trump's CARES Act is one-half of the reason for the current inflation crisis.  He shattered every Obama spending record and always wants the FED to lower rates to fuel inflationary bubbles.  With his approval, the Justice Department indicted the heroic journalist Julian Assange of Wikileaks.org for espionage in direct contravention of the First Amendment leading to Assange's torturous detention in solitary confinement in a British dungeon while facing life in prison here in the United States.. Trump is currently demanding "full indemnification for All American police for crimes they commit against citizens."  It's like he's taking Thomas Jefferson's list of complaints against King George out of the Declaration of Independence and using it as his platform.  On Yemen, Trump continued Obama's policy of backing Saudi, UAE, and Al Qaeda, bombing the Shiite hooties for 4 years straight, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.  He made Raytheon check cashers happy doing so, as his trade director Pete Navarro boasted to the New York Times.  But he lost the war anyway.  Trump ordered troops out of Syria and then backed down three separate times in 2017, 2018, and 2020.  Not to mention for falling for two separate sarin hoaxes at Khan Shaykhun and Douma and bombing the Assad government over them.  Americans have been killed in Syria in the time since again as revenge for what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.  And regardless of the overwrought hyperbole of the Democrats, and their unfair persecution of the January 6th rioters, it was a serious loser move for Trump to try to continue to dispute the last election AFTER the Electoral College had already voted and asked people to show up there that day at all.  Trump put his own supporters in jail as much as Merrick Garland did.  What could Trump say to make us believe that he's learned the error of his ways, that he will prioritize peace and turn into the Ron Paul that we all know he's not?  Personally, I'll be voting libertarian in November.  But I might consider supporting a ticket including Rand Paul for vice president, though I'd really like to see the man be Secretary of State, a promise of that job before the election would just not be good enough for me compared to the naming of the senator for vice president at the Republican convention.  Like I say, then at least I'd consider it.  And by the way Mr. Trump, there is easily a full National Security cabinet worth of credentialed, American-first, non-interventions conservatives and Libertarians, who could run your defense department, intelligence agencies, and National Security Council.

2017: Huge difference with a private company [doing airline security versus the TSA] is that the people searching you and the people pawing you would not have the equivalent of diplomatic immunity.


The interview is from November 22, 2017.  

Not many congressmen were willing to say that the responsibility should be on the airlines themselves.  

Huge difference with a private company is that the people searching you and the people pawing you would not have the equivalent of diplomatic immunity.  It's almost impossible to sue a federal agent who violates your Constitutional rights.  And that's a huge Pandora's box.  

2:49. It's actually gotten a lot more intrusive thanks to the guidelines that the TSA is using and going back to the question of private verses Federal a huge difference with a private company is that the people searching you the people pawing you would not have the equivalent of diplomatic immunity it's almost impossible to sue a federal agent who violates your constitutional rights and that's a huge Pandora's Box for not getting abused at the airport because federal agents the TSA is you know notified that they're allowed to grab you squeeze you there there's a lawsuit that's coming down a federal judge just to prove it a few months ago it's an airline pilot who got jammed in the groin punched in the groin basically by a a TSA agent out of Dulles Airport and the TSA tried to get the federal judge to dismiss his lawsuit who said his rights were violated the TSA said instead of filing the suit with the guy could have done is simply called in the TSA contact center and left a complaint this is the type of remedy the TSA thinks that the American people deserve after they get heavily abused by federal agents.

Why is the FBI wasting time on this? This seems to be a 1st amendment issue if they are trying to intimidate and interfere with speech.

“The purpose of all government should be the protection of personal liberty for each and every one of us.”

Funny to see Mayor Giuliani lick his lips at the opportunity to cut off the message of liberty.  Too much liberty for you, eh, Mayor?

DEBRA BIRX, SABOTEUR

 

I like this opening by Joe Hoft, so I am going to share it: 

Dr. Birx, the woman who dressed up like a sweet old church lady and placed herself in front of the American people during the COVID outbreak and pandemic, by her own admission was treacherous and deceiving.  Birx pushed anti-American shutdowns and historic restrictions in the US during the COVID crisis.  Those same policies were later found to be ineffective in treating the spread of the disease.  Hundreds of thousands of individuals died from the virus during her watch.

Investigating government officials is like reading the Who's Who of America's Most Wanted.  From Fauci to Redfield to Debra Birx to Joe Biden to 

Debra Birx was Coronavirus Response Coordinator for Trump. Could you ever in your right mind abide by a single recommendation from a Coronavirus Response Coordinator named Debra Birx? 

Why is being psychotic the top leadership skill in the U.S. government?  Is this something that Klaus Schwab has installed?

Jeffrey Tucker writes,

Her book admits that it was a two-level lie from the beginning.  “We had to make these palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown,” she writes. “At the same time, we needed the measures to be effective at slowing the spread, which meant matching as closely as possible what Italy had done—a tall order. We were playing a game of chess in which the success of each move was predicated on the one before it.”

One thing that Americans need to get over is the concept that government officials are incompetent.  They're not incompetent.  They're vandals.  They were deliberately destroying records through distortion, lying, official deceit, etc. to suit their agendas.  It's not so much that they are clueless.  It's that they play clueless, they play the victim after getting caught.  I mean Trump has been the most successful foil for both the Trump and Biden corruption.  

Ron Paul points out how she loves power.

She was a professional power broker.  The power she wanted was to arbitrarily regulate other people. 

McADAMS, 4:29:  It's a book of some 525 pages patting herself on her back.  But as Jeffrey Tucker points out, it's all a lie.  She's admitting in her book that she subverted the president.  She subverted the administration.  She lied, she cheated, she stole.  

RON PAUL, 4:46:  Nice person. 

McADAMS, 4:47:  And she's happy about it.  No doubt about it.  She was the force behind the ones pushing for lockdowns that she wanted but didn't dare call it that.  She was determined to call it something else (to soft-peddle fascism).  

Daniel cites this tweet,

Then Daniel posts this headline, 

SABOTAGE? – Dr. Birx Admits to Revising and HIDING Info From Trump’s COVID Team, While Altering CDC Guidelines Without Approval. 

THE NEWS RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ENDORSEMENT OF BIRX BY NH-1 CANDIDATE MATT MOWERS.

Dr. Deborah Birx – who often appeared in front of COVID-19 task force briefings on behalf of the Trump administration – has admitted to doctoring data associated with the government’s response, as well as quietly altering the Centers for Disease Control advice without authorization, according to her own book.

"Dr. Birx admits to revising and HIDING info. from Trump's COVID Team, while altering CDC Guidelines without approval."  Well, that's because she's Dr. Birx.  Wow, the elitist mentality of these government officials.  So she alters CDC guidelines without approval.  That's some power right there.  Who's her boss, Mike Pence?  it's laughable when people say that government action isn't political.  Like when Jen Psaki swore during a press conference "that COVID-19 [and its vaccines] were not political, that she's just trying to protect the American people."  Daniel continues, that "She destroyed a lot of lives, many more lives than were destroyed by the COVID virus itself."

Ron Paul is right at 6:50, nothing about civil liberties, nothing about natural immunity, nothing of importance.  Nothing about whether a lockdown was good or bad, but only about how do you fool a people.  This typifies the Trump Administration, which selected her to be on the Coronavirus Task Force.  What a dumb paisleyed ghoul.  She settles on the number 10 for the acceptable number of people allowed in a room.  "That was too many," but claimed that 10 would be palatable for most Americans."  Do you see how condescending these government employees are?  How much contempt do they have for you to do what's right by you?  So she was against the 50 per room.  Mises wrote a book on bureaucracy, titled Bureaucracy, 1944.

Her only medical experience was with AIDS.  Wikipedia explains, 

Starting in 2014, she oversaw the implementation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program to support HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programs in 65 countries. From 2014-2020, Birx was the United States global AIDS coordinator for presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump and served as the United States special representative for global health diplomacy between 2015 and 2021. 

She was with the CDC for 9 years, from 2005 to 2014, so she's a tried and true liar and deceiver from way back.  In fact, her husband was a lawyer who worked in 3 previous administrations

Birx's husband, Paige Reffe, is a lawyer who held managerial roles in the CarterReagan, and Clinton administrations.

So, again, Ron Paul is spot on when he says that she's been in government a long time.  Not just herself, but her husband worked in 3 administrations going all the way back from 1976 to 1980.

McADAMS, 8:34, points out that Birx never talks about why she quit the COVID Task Force.  He says it's because her hypocrisy has been exposed.  But I would argue that these government turds are quite adept at managing hypocrisy.  Daniel gives her Thanksgiving deceit as an example.  After telling the American people not to have Thanksgiving on, well, Thanksgiving, she herself goes to Delaware to spend time with her extended family.  Here are the details of that deceit.  

The hutzpah.  Here is a key, visible member of the White House COVID-19 Task Force barking out orders on how to mitigate the whatever, and then she violates her own guideline?  These stooges have lost all credibility.  And by the way, no replacement of hers is going to improve on her.

By the way, even though we all know that politicians lie and that we're aware of their perennial hypocrisy, speaking out loud about their misconduct and their hypocrisy is extremely necessary because revealing their inconsistency discredits their office, discredits their statements, and discredits the government itself in incremental ways.  They seek legitimacy at all costs because they are acutely aware of their lack of legitimacy.  They will lie to attain it, and they will lie on top of the lie to cover up their hypocrisy.  

Daniel continues,

What infuriated her was when Trump brought in Scott Atlas from Stanford., where the first thing he did was introduce new guidelines, like 1) you shouldn't get tested constantly if you're well, and that freaked her out. 

She says, and this is just stunning.  She is gloating over her deceit.  This is not a mea culpa or a self-flagellation, or a tell-all.  This is her gloating over her power.  This is a playbook for all psychopaths looking to expand their power within the government or the pharmaceutical deep state. 

At 9:08, Daniel reads from her book, Silent Invasion,

This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in.  Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield.  He confirmed my suspicions: he had disagreed with the guidance but had felt pressured by HHS and the White House to post it.  Also, many on his staff in Atlanta were still comfortable prioritizing symptomatic individuals.  Even at this late point, eight months into the pandemic, many at both the White House and the CDC still refused to see that silent spread played a prominent role in viral spread and that it started with social gatherings, especially among the younger adults.  We had to find a way around them.   

Recognizing the damage to public health the Scott Atlas-driven testing guidance could do and was doing with testing rates dropping across the country, Bob and I ["Bob and I," a phrase that captures the pharmaceutical deep state as much as any other] agreed to quietly rewrite the guidelines and post it to the CDC website.  We would not seek approval.  Because we were both quite busy, it might take a week or two, but we were committed to subverting the dangerous messaging that limiting testing was the right thing to do. 

10:20  And remember for so long we talked about Case-demic driven by imprecise PCR test, so many false positives, and here she was desperate to keep that testing because she wanted to keep those case numbers going high. 

Further, it often doesn't take much to identify someone as a friend or foe.  When I see 2030 attached to anybody's name, that's all I need to know that they're serving a communist agenda; that, and the words "sustainability" or "equity," and so forth.  That any official, in fact, anybody at all referencing or pointing to 2030 as an end date or a target date for any program is an active member of the W.E.F, Klaus Schwab, digital currency, "You will own nothing and be happy about it" crowd.  Wikipedia exposes Birx a bit, 

She described her role as ambassador to help meet the HIV prevention and treatment targets set by Obama in 2015 to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. 

She's been accused of being "dictatorial" and "autocratic" before.  Is this why she was chosen for Trump's COVID19 Task Force?  

PEPFAR management under Birx came under scrutiny in a February 2020 audit conducted by the State Department's Office of the Inspector General, with leadership of the program being described as "dictatorial" and "autocratic."

12:25, Uh-oh, Daniel raises the ever important question of justice.  Rarely do I hear any commenter raise the question of moral restitution.  But here he is . . . finally.  He says that it's hard to suppress this feeling of anger [yeah, Americans were betrayed] what these monsters did not just to the U.S. but to the world for two years.  There deserves to be some justice in this life hopefully, but maybe ultimately in the next.  [Oh, Daniel, you were doing so well.]  Trump deserves a lot of blame for this.  There's that old refrain.  I think Trump must have agreed to be the perennial foil for the failures, incompetencies, and crimes of his opponents.  He allowed himself to be steamrolled . . . by people he hired.  Then he cites another article.  One oft he reasons why Birx was able to get in there and do so many malfeaswance was because Trump's campaign official, Matt Mowers, spent two years as Birx's Chief of Staff.  OMG.  That's kind of shocking.  But he's a Republican, right?  Yep.  Don't expect loyalties.  So she was his boss for two years, so basically, he was her eyes and ears in the Trump Administration so that she cold go arond and do a lot of evil stuff.
