Memo outlines Obama’s plan to use the military against citizens
“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 directive states.
Why didn't you link right to the directive? It was posted in that first article. Did you even read it? Probably not. Here, I'll read it too you:
It says, the National Guard (and only them) can go in to help against extreme civil disturbances -- but only after the state has requested help, or in the case that a civil disturbance completely overruns state protective services the president can order help. In other words, if a riot gets too big and a local police force is effectively destroyed, the National Guard can step in to prevent people from killing each other in the chaos.
Reading this makes me trust my government more. They are looking out for me!
Note: The directive also specifically says they can't use armed drone aircraft under any circumstances.
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! hold on. stay in control
Girl, I want, you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true, blue, inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya
Paranoia, need destroyer. Paranoia, they destroy ya'
Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said ooh you look so weird
She said man, there's really something wrong with you
One day you're gonna' self-destruct
You're up, get down, I'll come work you out
You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out
Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer
Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blow it all with, paranoia
You're so insecure you, self-destroyer
(and it goes like this, here it goes) paranoia, they destroy ya
(here it goes again) paranoia, they destroy ya
Dr. Dr. help her please I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me I'm a self-destructin' man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And said you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
Cause there's a man in ya, knawin' ya, tearin' ya, in to to
Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. paranoia, they destroy ya'
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy friends, destroy yourself
The time device of, self-destruction
Lies, confusion, start eruption
