Little Jimmy Grimaldi:
What the heck now?
Obama’s proposed Civilian National Security Force
Here’s someone worrying about the political consequences, perhaps unintended, of Obama’s three-million-person internet social network.
And, geez. Webster Tarpley is not pleased. Sees Obama as a “post modern” Mussolini, and his loyal legions as fascists (using the term as narrowly as possible, to indicate the bunches — “fascisti” — of zealous bumpkins that Musso rode to power).
As wild as Tarpley’s theses may seem, here’s another worry that lends them some support: Obama’s campaign pledge to create a massive Civilian Security Force:
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve gotta have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”
( Who the heck put this bee in his bonnet?
See here. A film from Alex Jones. Worth watching. )
A big national plainclothes police force, you mean?
Err … Wouldn’t that be the FBI?
So, err … you mean another FBI? You mean two heads might be better than one?
Err … I thought that’s what went wrong on 9/11?
One might hope that the One has in mind a kind of public works project — an army of unarmed retired folk rolling through their local streets late at night in fuel-efficient “Community Observation Patrol” cars.
Recouping recent losses in their retirement accounts …
But that picture doesn’t fit the caption: a “national security force” as “powerful” as what the Pentagon presides over. Some have glossed the notion by reference to Britain’s MI5.
Charisma perhaps comes at a price.
