Militarizing these domestic departments unnecessarily is scaring me! When the NPS can follow the President's orders like he was a dictator and everyone just remains silent, no public outcry? that's when we're in deep doo-doo. Now the Dept of Agriculture? Domestic Military Force that are employees of the US government.

I'm with you. This has been building for a long, long time. The government reaction to 9-11 capped it. Instead of securing our borders, limiting immigration for the benefit of the country (working middle class), giving those in charge of immigration the tools to perform accurate and timely assessments, big government and the surveillance state were expanded - all for our own good and safety.

Under Zero, that which was instituted slowly in the name of good intentions has coalesced and been expanded. Voila ! It seems every day we hear of more arming of the fourth branch of government which answers to the executive and more egregious violations of our freedoms and Bill of Rights. It seems that those who have the power to do something about it have been bought, brain washed, or threatened into compliance. The carrot and the stick have been very effective.

@Rev they're so busy clapping like mindless sheep, that they're not even listening to the garbage coming out of his mouth. Had they been listening instead of applauding they'd have heard about this scary concept.

A powerful civilian military force plus more gun control equals less ability to resist the new "civilian National Security Force"
