This is something I thought you should be aware of…

The Posse Comitatus Act is intended to prevent the government from being able to use the federal army for domestic security. The Posse Comitatus Act is why you don’t see tanks rolling down Main Street.

Constitutionally, and through legislation, state and local governments are responsible for civil order - not the army. In the event of an emergency, the senate and congress are able to give the president authorization for emergency temporary deployment of the army domestically.

Posse Comitatus is one of the cornerstones of our freedom and it has been stolen from us.

Congressional act H.R. 5122 and NSPD-51 are partially classified national security policies that give the president complete authority to use the army within our own borders. This September 2008 the US Army’s 3rd Infantry Division was redeployed from the front lines of Iraq to NORTHCOM. The 3rd Infantry is a multi-branch division with members from the Marines, Navy, Army and Air Force. Their gunners, “raiders”, troops, grenade operators, air force and supply units have been sent to protect (police) us.

According to the Army Times, the Infantry will “respond to the threat of terrorist attacks on American soil”, “control crowds” and protect against “mass civil unrest.”

We’ve seen the death of Habeas Corpus, partial silencing of freedom of speech and now the end of Posse Comitatus. R.I.P.
