Obama plans paramilitary force for internal U.S. security

In July, Jim Lindren noted a peculiar couple of sentences in a Barack Obama speech captured on videotape.

In Barack Obama’s July 2, 2008 speech calling America to national service, Obama proposed “a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military... This has prompted some in the blogosphere to raise the specter of a huge new domestic paramilitary organization. Others suggest that he may have been talking about our “current non-military security agencies...


He said: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Curiously, the official transcript of the speech omitted those last two sentences.


Add an Obama paramilitary force to his campaign's attempts to suppress criticism and I can't help but recall 1933 Germany.

You people starting to get the picture yet?

I wonder if the new Internal Security Force plans to use Obama's distinctive logo on their armbands?
