New Army Manual Calls for the Use of Lethal Force Against Peaceful Protesters

New Army Manual Calls for the Use of Lethal Force Against Peaceful Protesters




The new Army manual, known as ATP 3-39.33, provides discussion and techniques about civil disturbances and crowd control operations that occur in the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS). https://publicintelligence.net/usarmy-civil-disturbances/

This document, just published this past Friday, August 15, 2014, promises to change the way the “authorities” deal with protesters, even peaceful ones. The consequences of ATP 39.33 could prove deadly for protesters. Further, the provisions of this Army manual could prove to be the end of the First Amendment right to peaceably assemble.




On August 15, 2014, the U.S. Army published and released the Army-Civil Disturbances Manual-2014. The contents are frightening and should be offensive to American citizen.



In section 1-2., the manual states that  “Civil unrest may range from simple, nonviolent protests that address specific issues, to events that turn into full-scale riots“. This section of the manual clearly states that protesting is a right protected by the Constitution. However, the authorities leave themselves an out to “legally” engage in lethal force toward protesters when the manual states that “peaceful protests can turn into full-scale riots” and field commanders have the right to make that determination. Subsequently, all protests, peaceful or not, need to be managed by the potential for violence. In other words, all protests are to be considered to be violent and handled accordingly. This certainly explains the violent manhandling of the media by the DHS controlled and militarized police in Ferguson, MO.

Posse Comitatus Is Violated

On the surface, the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385) act should prevent the Army from deploying the troops in the midst of a protest that is not on the scale of something like the 1992 LA Riots. However, the Army claims exemption from Posse Comitatus in the four following areas.

10 USC 331. When a state is unable to control domestic violence and they have requested federal assistance, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 332. When ordinary enforcement means are unworkable due to unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States, use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
10 USC 333. When a state cannot or will not protect the constitutional rights of the citizens, due to domestic violence or conspiracy to hinder execution of State or Federal law, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized.
House Joint Resolution 1292. This resolution directs all departments of the U.S. government, upon request of the Secret Service, to assist in carrying out its statutory duties to protect government officials and major political candidates from physical harm.


With regard to 10 USC 331, if the local authorities have lost control in the midst of a profound display of domestic violence (e.g. LA Riots), most Americans support the use of National Guard or the military.  However, in 10 USC 332, 333 and House Joint Resolution 1292 are ripe with exceptions which opens the door to federal authorities abusing the public for exercising their Constitutional right to protest.

In 10 USC 332, the phrase “unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States, use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized”  and this permits the federal government from being demonstrated against. An act of demonstration, or the most benign demonstrations of civil disobedience gives the government the authority to take “deadly action” against the public  because there are no clear distinctions on when the use of lethal and nonlethal force is appropriate (see the two charts displayed below).




In 10 USC 333, any disruption of federal law can be decisively dealt with by the federal government. The phrase “…conspiracy to hinder execution of State or Federal law, the use of the militia or Armed Forces is authorized” is a telling passage of this Army document. If 10 USC 333 is applied to the letter of the written Army policy, the protesters who recently objected to illegal aliens being deposited in Murietta, California, could be subject to deadly force. Further, the protesters in Ferguson could be subject to the use of lethal force as well (Again, see the charts below).

The next time a community decides that it does not want to accept illegal immigrants, or protest the shooting of an unarmed 18 year old,  they could be met by the following:

 
No Protests!





No more protests.
“I feel threatened. No more protests”.

 The fourth exception claimed by the Army with regard to the Army’s right to violate Posse Comitatus, is presented to the American people under the veil of the need to protect politicians.

House Resolution 1292 claims any protest which makes a public official feel “threatened” would be illegal and subject to intervention by the U.S. Army. Hypothetically, if 100 protesters were to gather outside of Senator John McCain’s office in Phoenix, would that be enough to trigger a violent response by the Army? If McCain says he feels threatened, regardless if his claims are legitimate or not, it most certainly would justify the strongest response possible from the Army. Therefore, all a politician has to do is to say they feel threatened by any gathering to have the gathering dispersed and the protesters dealt with in any manner seen fit by the field commander. Make no mistake about it, this is the end of the First Amendment’s right peaceably assemble.

 Army Depictions On How Best to Kill An American Citizen Who Expresses Disagreement with the Government

 Do you remember the uproar when DHS was caught distributing target practicing sheets of pregnant women to be used for DHS agents when they were engaged in target practicing?

 

And of course, I am certain that you recall the use of an elderly person’s image to be used by DHS agents for the same purpose. The implication is clear; The American people are the new terrorists.

 

Below, is the graphic depiction of the Army’s version of a terrorist and worse yet, there are instructions on how to best maim and kill an American citizen who is engaged in their Constitutional right to protest




How to best kill and maim an American.

The second chart is a sample guideline on when the application of lethal force is appropriate to be applied to protesters. Please note the ambiguity with regard to the application of lethal force. It is also noteworthy to point out that the following chart provides for the planned use of snipers to target the perceived leaders of a protest. These procedures remind one of the events in Kiev prior to the ouster of the Russian-friendly Prime Minister. It would appear that CIA agents were beta testing these procedures in Kiev prior to the coup.


Army use of lethal force

Conclusion

 ATP 39.33 is quite clear in its intent which is to eliminate the act of protesting from the American landscape. More disturbingly, the right to summarily execute peaceful protesters is contained in this Army manual due to the purposeful ambiguity of when it is appropriate to use deadly force against protesters.This Army manual is an example of hard core, in-your-face martial law befitting the most violent regimes in the history of the planet.

There is another message contained in ATP 39.33 and that is the clear anticipation that the American people are going to feel the need to be protesting in earnest in the foreseeable future. What exactly are the American people going to feel compelled to protest that remains unspecified in this manual? Could it be resistance to mandatory Ebola vaccinations? Could we be looking at food riots in the future? Will it be a currency collapse that puts Americans in the street? Will America rise up and say no to the plans for World War III and the coming conscription of both potential military personnel and a civilian labor slave force as described under Executive Order 13603?

Not only should this document be a frightening wake-up call for all Americans, it should also serve as a warning for what is to come.

This recent army manual takes yet another step toward normalizing practices of absolute dictatorship. It would be well for protocols of response to be developed by patriotic Americans. The use of agents provocateurs will likely become standard procedure. Hence, it is essential that people prepare beforehand to document as much as possible the identity of these operatives. Photos, videos, anecdotal facts of their activities must be made public far and wide. It was heartening to see the people of Ferguson continue to protest peaceably after the police attacked them. However, the countering imposition of curfews is the shutting down of expression and association. Information about deliberate actions of provocation on the part of the police under the auspices of D.H.S. must be made available to the people of Ferguson and all of America by every means possible. As well, people need to be informed of deliberate acts of incitement with the wrongful aim of shutting down protest, while paying lip-service to it.

Groups could begin to practise protocols. Some could play protesters and others could pretend to act as vandals. They could be captured on video and camera and channels could be made ready to disseminate this material, with brief reports, as preparation for the real thing.

There will still have to be (likely covert) means of taking back power. Ideally, sprawling computer facilities of control can be partly disabled by totally legal means. Of course, this and other initiatives can be taken more readily, while money, materials and fuel are still available.


Keep this in mind… Our military has 180k men under arms. That’s right, go add it up, 180k and they are scattered throughout the world. That number is actually lower because it is before sequestation cuts and it includes the coast guard which is no longer part of the military, the are now fully under DHS.

Secondly, I am not convinced, in fact I am skeptical that most of the military would go along with this. I honestly believe most of them, the guys with the find anyway, will side with the people against the gov.

In support of this, the gov does not trust them to be on their side either. That is exactly why they have militarized the police (who will do the governments bidding) and created DHS.

DHS has 250k men under arms. Do you realize that? More than our entire military!

In any case, 1% of our population willing to fight outnumbers them three to one and that includes our entire military, the DHS and every single cop (federal, state and local) in the nation.

We have the numbers. We have the weapons, low tech beats high tech every time. They know this and that is why they have not made their move yet, they are afraid of us.

Be ready, the time will come. We have that 1% easily and that is just the guys willing to do what it takes to win. It won’t be pretty. Be ready!


In other words, the public-private mergers being formed by the National Socialists of Fascism, Communitarianism, and Communism are effectively ready to implement roll-out… Using the Political Ideology inspired by Bismark’s ambitions and his mechanisms of Bismarckian policies aka Bismarkianism, we’re transitioning from Stage 3 development to roll out of the Command and Control Power-Structure…

I wonder how many people understand that the Globalists and elitists promote and glorify Gandhi’s civil disobedience movement by omitting in particular the British replenishment and reinforcements were halted and prevented from utilizing the disarmament of India in Egypt while Palestinian Jews utilized their terrorist training by MI6 against the British.
It is also often omitted that Gandhi was only released as the Indian populace approached stage 3 revolution aka violent revolution against the British occupation of India.

I’ve tried highlighting this aspect more than once, but I guess once more it needs highlighted.
Civil disobedience only works during stage 1 Bismarkianism. In stage 2, Bismarkianism shifts to delay and retry or otherwise under darkness. In stage 3, Bismarkianists don’t give a hoot as evident by the bailouts, bail-ins, ACA, NDAA, and etc as this is the Command and Control Power-Structure stage prior to Authoritarian Police State aka martial law roll out.
This manual perfectly states that we’re transitioning from Stage 3 Bismarkianism to Command and Control roll out.
The Power-structure does not want to see the populace form a counter-regency or otherwise counter-momentum or even the populace utilizing legitimacy and wield the domestic balance of power.
On the bright side, everyone seems content to live in a Cashless-Paperless Society as if that somehow limits the Authoritarian Governance of the Command and Control Power-Structure…

What else could you expect from the hijackers of our country; total submission………’Political power comes from the barrel of a gun’ Mao
