In a stunning revelation published by a mainstream news outlet, an anonymous Department of Defense official has revealed their belief that a DoD Directive outlining military support to civilian authorities is the latest step towards President Obama eventually using military force against the American people. The quote from the defense official was published in a now viral report that detailed the 2010 DoD Directive and how it could be used, under authority from the President, to unleash the might of the US military onto the civilian population. “This appears to be the latest step in the administration’s decision to use force within the United States against its citizens,” a defense official told the Washington Times. According to the report, another anonymous US Official also claimed that President Obama considered using the military during the Bundy Ranch standoff but eventually decided against it. Directive No. 3025.18 – “Defense Support of Civil Authorities” The directive was signed on December 29, 2010 and includes normal provisions on support for civilian emergency services before revealing that the President has the power to deploy the military on American citizens as he sees fit. This fact was already known due to numerous executive orders but the directive shows that President Obama himself has signed new orders during his presidency that confirm this power. A section on using the military during civil disturbances includes: Federal military commanders are provided EMERGENCY AUTHORITY under this Directive. Federal military forces shall not be used to quell civil disturbances unless specifically authorized by the President in accordance with applicable law (e.g., chapter 15 ofReference (d)) or permitted under emergency authority, as described below (see DoDD 3025.12 (Reference (j)) and DoDD 5525.5 (Reference (c))). 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 because: (1) Such activities are necessary to prevent significant loss of life or wanton destruction of property and are necessary to restore governmental function and public order; or, (2) When duly constituted Federal, State, or local authorities are unable or decline to provide adequate protection for Federal property or Federal governmental functions. Another troubling section of the directive details how the military will go about providing lethal assets to local authorities including arms and drone technology. The section also openly acknowledges that the military is planning for situations where a confrontation between law enforcement and American citizens is expected. Except for immediate response and emergency authority as described in paragraphs 4.g. and 4.i. of this section, only the Secretary of Defense may approve requests from civil authorities or qualifying entities for Federal military support for: (1) Defense assistance in responding to civil disturbances (requires Presidential authorization) in accordance with Reference (j). (2) Defense response to CBRNE events (see DoDI 2000.18 (Reference (aa))). (3)Defense assistance to civilian law enforcement organizations, except as authorized in Reference (c). (4) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality. This support includes loans of arms; vessels or aircraft; or ammunition. It also includes assistance under section 382 of Reference (d) and section 831 of title 18, U.S.C. (Reference (ab)); all support to counterterrorism operations; and all support to civilian law enforcement authorities in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or group is reasonably anticipated. This directive is literally part of the blueprint for martial law in America yet the mainstream media continues to pretend that fears of martial law are simply the ramblings of crazed conspiracy theorists. In other words, the corporate media is expecting and hoping that the American people are so blind that they refuse to see reality and instead go along with transparent media lies. There have been at least 200 mainstream news reports that attacked Alex Jones and the entire alternative media for being worried about Jade Helm 2015, one of the largest realistic military training exercises ever seen on American soil, yet defense officials within the Pentagon are themselves worried about Obama’s plan to use military force against citizens. You can count on the fact that, if one defense official is willing to risk it all and give a quote like the one above, many others within their agency are also worried. Military drills and movements within the last 2 months In a major report published late last week, I wrote about the upcoming dirty bomb drill known as “Operation Northern Exposure” and how it was yet another military drill that has either taken place or been announced within the last two months. The list includes: Perhaps the most important aspect of this report, besides the fact that we now have confirmation that at least some within the government are against declaring martial law in America, is the fact that this is direct evidence that President Obama himself has thought about and made sure he has the power to use the military against the public at large. Instead of assuming he had the power under past executive orders and laws, President Obama’s Department of Defense put it in writing during the height of the Tea Party insurgence. At this point is it up to the American people to continue to counter the propaganda being pushed by the mainstream media and the military PR machine by educating friends and family about the very real and documented dangers of martial law being declared in America. Defense official’s warning destroys media claims that only “conspiracy theorists” believe martial law could be declared in the near future

A US Presidential declaration of martial law does not need some stinkin' 5 year letter or memo or statement for any support. I have no idea what the article is attempting to perform other than highlight pre-existing or stand stuff that is existed since the beginning of the USA.
That was my reaction. A "DoD Directive allowing the use of military force against American citizens is latest step towards martial law"? Uh, that's the definition of martial law. Always has been. That's like announcing, "The government can search your home if they have a search warrant!!!
The directive was signed on December 29, 2010 and includes normal provisions on support for civilian emergency services before revealing that the President has the power to deploy the military on American citizens as he sees fit. This fact was already known due to numerous executive orders but the directive shows that President Obama himself has signed new orders during his presidency that confirm this power. What is WRONG with you and WHAT are you doing? Geeeze, just go on Ebay and buy these Doing that will make as much sense as what your are trying to do now. You are going off the deep end into the Dark Zone. Man, you need to get a grip on reality.
Look, I know you can't possibly fathom the depths to this once great nation has sunk. I understand that you still think our government exists to protect us and keep us safe - views which you also express towards cops. Living behind the secure walls of a gated community as you do, it's understandable that you have neither the ability nor the desire to recognize what is really going on in the world. It surprises me to a certain extent that anyone, even someone like you who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses, can not see the downward spiral of liberties since 9/11 and the myriad of dictatorial powers seized by the 0bama administration, and in fact appears to be supporting these tyrannical policies.
I don't believe these exercises are intended for most white folks. We're not the ones who riot and loot. Look to the inner cities to explode once that government teat runs dry. There's where the action will be.
That argument has some merit. However the recent Dallas Police Shooting of a white man who was labeled as a terrorist because he was upset at the government for stealing his children may be a catalyst for more mass militarization because of so-called "anti-government" types. We already know that 72 Types Of Americans Are Considered “Potential Terrorists” In Official Government Documents this list covers most of the country… 1. Those that talk about “individual liberties” 2. Those that advocate for states’ rights 14. “Opposition to equal rights for gays and lesbians” 15. Members of the Family Research Council 16. Members of the American Family Association 22. Anyone that is “opposed to the New World Order” 23. Anyone that is engaged in “conspiracy theorizing” 24. Anyone that is opposed to Agenda 21 25. Anyone that is concerned about FEMA camps 26. Anyone that “fears impending gun control or weapons confiscations” 46. Those that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority” 47. Those that are “reverent of individual liberty” 48. Those that “believe in conspiracy theories” 49. Those that have “a belief that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack” *** You get the picture. While I agree with your view that the military will eventually be used to subdue rioting in the cities caused by the fed.gov orchestrated collapse of the economy, I believe that the main target is going to be white, armed Americans, military veterans and vocal dissenters and ultimately those who are opposed to the New World Order. Possibly. It'll be interesting to see what happens when leo has to leave his cushy Mrap and actually faces live fire from all directions.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
