National Security is big business nowadays. The cabinet position of Homeland Security was established in response to the attacks of September 2001. Homeland security is the term generally used to refer to the broad national effort by all levels of government — federal, state, local and tribal — to protect the territory of the United States from hazards, both internal and external, natural and man-made.

At a political rally prior to being elected, Hussein Obama proposed a Civilian National Security force. Why? Because he feels that we can no longer depend on our armed forces to secure the borders of the nation. And, this security force will be: “Just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded” as our national armed forces. HUH???

Let’s get some perspective. The U.S. military is composed of almost 3 million personnel, of which approximately half are reserve personnel. The U.S. military is one of the largest militaries in terms of number of personnel. The U.S. military draws its manpower from a large pool of volunteers and as such conscription is neither needed nor desirable as it maintains a purely professional military force. The U.S. military receives $711 billion per year in funding, constituting approximately 50% of military expenditure in the world. The U.S. military possesses advanced and powerful military equipment giving it huge military capabilities and power projection. Thus, it is considered to be by far the most powerful and most advanced military in the world, giving the United States enormous hard power and is a major factor towards deterring attacks against the United States.

Who would this CNS force be responsible to? What exactly would be their mandate? More importantly, who would have oversight? Lawfully operating within the nation’s borders there is the FBI (incompetent? yes), the National Guard, Coast Guard, state and local police forces.  All of which come under the umbrella of Homeland Security. Millions have been allocated and spent on trying to train every level to detect, prevent, and respond to terrorist attack. What would be the purpose of a national security force equal to our military??  There is only one answer.  Political suppression. Can you say Sturmabteilung, or maybe Schutzstaffel, or 5th Directorate KGB??
 
What about that world’s most powerful military? All members of our armed forces know what an unlawful order is.  Hussein may be Commander-in-Chief, but there is strong honor in the military.  Many would not obey an unlawful order or standby and watch their nation and way of life destroyed.  Hussein needs a military force that will obey him without question.  Similar to the brown shirts (SA) and SS in Hitler’s day.  The armed forces would be destroyed by confusion and desertion.  Not because they are automatons, but because they are citizens and can recognize tyranny. That is why Hussein said: “Just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded”. He can order one to stand down, and the other to attack.
 
First he must disarm the public.  That will be an agenda item of equal importance with his CNSF. 
 
To paraphrase a famous author:  These will be the times that try our souls!
