Obamas Civil Defense Program Resembles Domestic Draft
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 A newly rediscovered 2006 audio clip has shed more light on Rahm Emanuel and Barack Obamas plan for compulsory community service and a national civilian security force. In an interview with Ben Smith of the New York Daily News, Emanuel outlined the agenda for military-style training, essentially a domestic draft, aimed at preparing Americans for a chemical or biological terrorist attack.Will the liberal left pay as much attention to Emanuels stated agenda to implement a proxy domestic draft as they did to rumors of Bush bringing back conscription, or will the true scope of Obamas national civilian security force continue to fly under the radar?
Asked by Smith about the universal service plan and whether people would have to live in military barracks, Emanuel laughed before responding, Were going to have universal civil defense training, somewhere between the ages of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training.but there can be nothing wrong with all Americans having ajoint similar experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service in service of the country, in preparation, which will give people a sense of what it means to be an American.
In response to the point that the program was significantly expanded in comparison to what the U.S. government already has in place, Emanuel responded, Guess what - we have a lot more challenges so we are going to need a lot to do it.
What challenges is Emanuel referring to? The same crisis foretold by Joe Biden, Colin Powell and others that we are guaranteed will unfold shortly after Obama takes office?It will be a common experience and we will be prepared, God forbid, God forbid that there is a chemical hit, another terrorist act or natural disaster becoming more frequent - therell be a body of citizens who are ready and capable and trained - thats all you have to think about, said Emanuel before smugly declaring, Were all here for you OK? Its a circle of love.
Asked if the training would be military style, with people wearing uniforms, Emanuel stated, If youre worried about are you going to have to do 50 jumping jacks the answer is yes, adding that the service could be done through state national guard.
A jumping jack is a military term for an exercise otherwise known as a star jump. What on earth does Emanuel mean when he says Americans are going to be forced to perform military-style physical exercises and what does this have to do with civil defense or preparing for a terrorist attack? It sounds more like the state-mandated physical workouts described in Orwells 1984.
The video then features a clip from C-Span from August 2006 in which Emanuel is asked whether the program will be compulsory, to which he responds, In a sense its required of everybody, 18 to 25, three months, and at some point at that point you do it.
The use of the word required is noteworthy, because this exact terminology was removed from Obamas change.gov website when controversy over the program arose last week.
The militarized nature of the program and its supposed intention sounds more likea draft-lite than the community service angle now being pitched on Obamas website. It also bears similarities to the nationwide FEMA-run program training pastors and preachers to act as pacifiers in the event of martial law being declared after a terror attack or a natural disaster.
Will the liberal left pay as much attention to Emanuels stated agenda to implement a proxy domestic draft as they did to rumors of Bush bringing back conscription, or will the true scope of Obamas national civilian security force continue to fly under the radar?
Oh really? Are you sure about that? A couple of days ago I figured out that I was right and he was wrong. Seems like you're the one that has no clue whats going on.

Actually I found out later that he was wrong and I was right. Thanks for your input though.

this guy is a cocksucker. His shitty evil cackle ughh....He thinks he's got us but when the revolution really comes this guy will be strung up with the rest of the facists.

Your a perfect example of someone who knows absolutely nothing about the truth and doesn't want to know. Btw, Headofthehydra completely schooled you.

What you don't understand is that they don't care if things go to shit. That's what they want. It's easier to get us to do as they please then. If the economy crashes, they can chip everyone and employ us all in programs like this working for the government. Companies that go bankrupt will be nationalized...Etc.
We're that one big collapse away from total fascist dictatorship and no one seems to know what is going on.
You'll know soon when you are being told "Get a chip and we'll feed you!"

Ah okay. yeah I wasn't completely aware of what the bailout was causing around the world. However, I still don't think a system such as this will be put into place anytime soon and even if it does happen, it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal. I think everyone's over reacting to something that probably wont happen.
HeadoftheHydra(December 29, 2008 at 1:16 am)
You aren't aware of whats going on, are you?
They're causing a global depression via the bailout. No one can get credit, and it's happening all over the world. When people can't get credit, they don't spend money on things. If people don't spend money, the economy tanks.
Without the bailout, a few large banks would've had to file for bankruptcy. The airlines did it, and they never stopped running, now did they?
This civil defense BS happening EVER is totally unacceptable fascist shit.
TommyHavs(December 29, 2008 at 1:13 am)
Yeah but that's kind of a different scenario. If we didn't, it would have caused a global depression. I highly doubt this is high on anyone's list of important investments and anyone that thinks that this will happen within a couple of years or less is a fucking moron.
HeadoftheHydra(December 28, 2008 at 11:20 pm)
Did the government have 8.5 trillion for the bailout?
Nope. Spent it anyways, though.
TommyHavs(December 28, 2008 at 10:59 pm)
No that's not what I was saying at all actually. To instate the system described in the video would take more money than we have at the moment. It'll likely never happen.

It was a serious question because nothing you said was making any sense anymore.
I was not trying to attack you, though it's easy to see how you'd think I was. I was seriously asking.
You said it would take large economic growth to get rid of the Federal Reserve, when in fact there can be no growth (not real growth) with the Federal Reserve AND a good economy leaves no reason to get rid of the reserve. Only a crash does.
Which is coming. A crash is coming some time. Sooner or later.

haha. I love when people run out of things to add to the argument and result to personal attacks.
