Did the new security threat to our parks, hotels and anywhere big crowds gathered is part of this?

You know since the so call "failed attempt" in NY now the threat has been extended to other cities and states.

I wonder if this the excuses for having troops all over the nation for security reasons.

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.

I can't really think of anything else to add. I mean, when does it stop?

What has happened to The Posse Comitatus Act gets confusing. "George Bush also quietly and privately signed into law a revision to the 1807 Insurrection Act. It was hidden in Sections 1076 and 333 of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007." alaskafreepress.com...

However the State Govenors threw a hissy fit about this law and we have another later article.

In late 2006, Congress revised the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act to make it far easier for a president to declare martial law. Those changes were repealed at the end of this January as part of Public Law 110-181 (HR 4986), the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (signed into law by President Bush on January 28, 2008).

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt), who championed the opposition to the original law, was also the hero of the repeal. It helped that all the nation’s governors opposed the 2006 law. www.inteldaily.com...




So is Posse Comitatus alive and well or not?






edit
I just came across this that explains what has happened to Posse Comitatus. As usual the Tyrants and Criminals in DC, have no use for the law or the Constitution.

I'll bet you a shiny nickle that it is alive and well, and done when we were all arguing about Obamacare.

The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.

You can read recent Executive Orders and look up the topics of all modern Executive Orders by going to www.archives.gov... National Archives and Records. They are difficult to pull up and include Executive Orders 12919, 12656, 13228 and the ominous Executive Order 11490.

Hey Mike...I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary in Philly / So. NJ recently except for some military choppers overhead this weekend. I'm not exactly sure what model they were, but I'm damn sure they sure weren't news or civilian.

It really looks like tptb's plans are falling into place perfectly doesn't it? Everything is pointing in their direction and our heads are in 35 places at once nowadays. It's really getting to "that point" now and all we can really do is be prepared....
