About Obama's Civilian Security Force Private Army...

Remember this from back in 2008:

Earlier in the week, I posted about Obama's proposed civilian security force and included some information about how Hitler did the same thing when he first came to power.  Courtesy of FaultlineUSA, here is some more information on how that whole gig works and why it's a dangerous concept according to history:

The Praetorian Guard was a special force of household troops used by Roman Emperors. Augustus saw the need to establish a body of soldiers explicitly loyal to himself. Following the death of Sejanus the Guards began to play an increasingly ambitious and bloody game in the Empire. With the right amount of money, or at will, they assassinated emperors, bullied their own Prefects, or turned on the people of Rome. In 41 Caligula was killed by conspirators from the senatorial class and from the Guard. The Praetorians placed Claudius on the throne, daring the Senate to oppose their decision.

In 1925 Adolf Hitler formed his own personal bodyguard called the Schutzstaffel (SS). The SS was a major Nazi organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to an elite, powerful, force that served as the Fuhrer's "Praetorian Guard' the Nazi Party's "Shield Squadron" and a force with as much political influence as the regular German Armed Forces. Built upon the Nazi racial ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, is said to be primarily responsible for many of the war crimes perpetrated by the Nazis during World War Two.

Recently Mr. B. H. Obama, President-Elect of the United States of America, said the following:
"We cannot continue to rely 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."

Nancy Matthis (via Right Truth) provides us an update (excerpts):

Remember when Obama said he wanted a "national security force"? Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state.

Remember that first alarming glimpse of what that army might look like? Notice how much these "Hitler youth" type young men talk about health care!

Obama just got his private army…

…And no one seems to have noticed. It is buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill.

Subtitle C–Increasing the Supply of the Health Care Workforce
   Sec. 5201. Federally supported student loan funds.
   Sec. 5202. Nursing student loan program.
   Sec. 5203. Health care workforce loan repayment programs.
   Sec. 5204. Public health workforce recruitment and retention programs.
   Sec. 5205. Allied health workforce recruitment and retention programs.
   Sec. 5206. Grants for State and local programs.
   Sec. 5207. Funding for National Health Service Corps.
   Sec. 5208. Nurse-managed health clinics.
   Sec. 5209. Elimination of cap on commissioned corps.
   Sec. 5210. Establishing a Ready Reserve Corps.
Subtitle D–Enhancing Health Care Workforce Education and Training

You may be wondering why a private army might be needed, and what this HEALTHCARE bill dictates this private army will do.  Here you go:

SEC. 5210. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.
Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:
...
(c) PURPOSE AND USE OF READY RESERVE.–
(1) PURPOSE.–The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service's reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.
(2) USES.–The Ready Reserve Corps shall–
(A) participate in routine training to meet the general and specific needs of the Commissioned Corps;
(B) be available and ready for involuntary calls to active duty during national emergencies and public health crises, similar to the uniformed service reserve personnel;
(C) be available for backfilling critical positions left vacant during deployment of active duty Commissioned Corps members, as well as for deployment to respond to public health emergencies, both foreign and domestic; and
(D) be available for service assignment in isolated, hardship, and medically underserved communities (as defined in section 399SS) to improve access to health services.
(d) FUNDING.—For the purpose of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Commissioned Corps under this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to the Office of the Surgeon General for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014. Funds appropriated under this subsection shall be used for recruitment and training of Commissioned Corps Officers.

So...does it get any more vague than this?  Basically, it appears that the President can call up his private army and direct them to do whatever he wants as long as he can claim it's in the best interests of public health.

I guess Nancy Pelosi wasn't kidding when she said that we'd have to pass the bill before finding out what was in it.  Of course, this begs the question of what other secret goodies have now been enshrined into law by a bunch of Congressional lemmings following their Pied Piper?

While you ponder that scary thought, take comfort in knowing that Obama Youth is now officially enacted!

There's my two cents.
