Rent-A-Rambos - US mercenary Rambos that are running amok, who wear no uniform, kill at will
• Eric Margolis, LewRockwell.comThe Pentagon and US intelligence agencies have fielded covert mercenary networks in Afghanistan, Pakistan (AKA "Afpak"), and Iraq whose mission is to murder tribal militants and nationalists opposing Western occupation.
The Pentagon has been using those since at least after WWII --- they are called "death squads" Leon. You know that.
Could U.S. Mercenaries now employed overseas, have ambitions to Police America’s Streets? Even if a U.S. President declared a national emergency/martial law, most Americans would oppose mercenaries enforcing laws on U.S. Soil.
Consider for a moment, could U.S. Government contract U.S. mercenaries that are civilians, to work independently or with U.S. state and local police to keep order in U.S. Cities? And/or assist Obama's proposed “Civilian National Security Force?” It was never clarified what Obama meant when he stated in July 2008: "We cannot continue to rely on our military to achieve the national security objectives 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.”
Obama’s proposed civilian national security force is wide open and could have several functions. Germany under Hitler during hard economic times established volunteer "Civilian National Security Patrols" to help Citizens and to protect the Homeland. But soon after the patrols were setup, the volunteers were transformed into a neighborhood Political Enforcement and Informant Arm” of the Nazi Secret Police.
How would U.S. local and State police interface with Obama’s proposed "civilian national security force?” Would Obama volunteers have access to U.S. Citizens' private records? Could Constitutional rights including the Fourth Amendment be discarded, allowing Civilian Security Forces” to search Americans and their homes? Could Americans lose their right to bear arms? The Nazis used Civilian Forces, e.g., and Gestapo to confiscate private arms, arrest Germans and seize their private property, often moving into Citizens’ confiscated houses. Could the Obama Administration employ, U.S. private mercenaries now overseas, civilians, to work with a National Security Force" in U.S. Cities? Or with a U.S. National Police Stabilization Force recently reported to have been apparently suggested in a Rand Corporation study provided to the U.S. Army.
