The original provision was enacted as Section 15 of chapter 263, of the Acts of the 2nd session of the 45th Congress.
Sec. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress ; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment[4]
The text of the relevant legislation is as follows:
18 U.S.C. § 1385. Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Also notable is the following provision within Title 10 of the United States Code (which concerns generally the organization and regulation of the armed forces and Department of Defense):
10 U.S.C. § 375. Restriction on direct participation by military personnel
The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure that any activity (including the provision of any equipment or facility or the assignment or detail of any personnel) under this chapter does not include or permit direct participation by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity unless participation in such activity by such member is otherwise authorized by law.
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.
Barack Obama
The information above should be all that is needed to prove that Barack Obama is a traitor to this country. He wants to build a military unit by buying equipment for police departments and using them inside the borders of the USA against American citizens. This is prohibited by the Posse Comitatus act but he has found a work around by arming every government institution with police type reactionary forces.
This law is to protect the American citizens from a tyranny of our current government, or any government that chooses to disregard the constitution within our borders, this law is no longer a protection against the Obama regime.
Try and buy bullets for personal weapons these days, there are none because the government is buying them and destroying them. Why would they do that? They say it is from buying them and not being able to find the purchase order, does anyone believe that anymore?
At what point do we as citizens of a free country wake up to find our government no longer serves the path of freedom but serves the path of slavery through socialist ideals? At what point do we realize that the vast majority of people in charge of this country should be in prisons for the lies and crimes they have committed. Would we tolerate such action from our children? Why should we tolerate it from Washington?
The small steps that our forefathers put in place as protections from our own government are being eroded by a man who feels that his country deserves to pay a penance for being successful. This country is not an empire and never was, this is obvious when you look at how we fight wars, and we give the nations back to the people not keep it and its resources for ourselves. Anyone using that argument as a perception of the USA is probably suffering from self loathing and must ask themselves what they do not like about themselves not what is wrong with everyone else. President Obama feels that we as a people are wrong, wrong for being more successful than other nations, wrong for having our liberties and wrong for entitling ourselves to an education while other nations do not. Those other nations are not our responsibility and we are not wrong, as we grow so does the world and as we do good throughout the world, the world benefits.
Has this country made mistakes? Yes. Will we in the future? Yes. Are those mistakes ever about to much liberty or freedom? No. Our mistakes happen when we divide ourselves up into petty little groups and decide that one group is better than another, we are all human beings and each American is equal in rights to the next, each has an opinion and has to make a decision whether to listen to others and how they will choose to make their way through life. The government is there to keep us safe not rule with an iron fist and not to be a safety net. Life is a tight rope we all must walk, if we fall in this nation we try again, in a socialist or communist nation you are done, which one would you rather live in?
The President of USA has found a way around the laws of the land, in this case posse comitatus and is using different government arms to circumvent citizens liberties (can anyone say Nevada ranch or drone strikes against citizens). He is a traitor by definition and has stated his intentions in 2008 and we as a people did not listen to him, now we are suffering more than we ever have in the history of this nation at the hands of this man and his cronies and I ask what are you prepared to do about it?
