Dear Sipsey Street Irregulars, Here is my concern about the National Guard on the border: federal control and federal militarization. Here is why; There were issues during Katrina with chain of command. The state governors were consulted and during meetings dual-status-commanders were proposed to coordinate state and federal lines of command during join homeland missions. The governors were reluctant to relinquish some of their authority, so executive order was used to enact the council of governors from the 2008 NDAA. A memorandum of agreement is used to seal the deal. During join missions under a dual-status-commander, if there is conflict between state and federal lines of command, federal wins until adjudicated by a judge. Perry has already called for a dual-status commander, drones, and now the guard. It is going to cost the state a great deal of money. Problem: open border. Reaction: SECURE THE BORDER. Solution: militarize the border. Conservatives will readily accept use of the guard under governor control. But how long until costs become prohibitive to the state, militarization is accepted by the people, and federal military takes over? CS Murphy
As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, then-Secretary of State:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
I believe that the Jeffersonian "free state" refers not to the States of the Union but the 'state' (or 'condition') of freedom that every person was entitled to live in. Thus the best guarantee of a life of individual liberty that could be concieved of at that time ... and still so today.
I base this upon the memes of the times in which individual liberty was the driving force behind the Founding Fathers very rebellion.
The Malitia by its very nature was never intended to ever be under Political control but to be a 'well trained' ("regulated") and voluntary grouping of people living in a state of freedom, with a common cause to preserve that very liberty.
It is the best formal template for the preservation of individual liberty that has yet been devised.
You can bet that anything up to HALF of that militia unit is made up of federal agents , paid rats or state / SPLC under covers; Just like they were in the 80's. The days of large public "militias" needs to be over. Only a truly secret patriot underground can work. On an unrelated note; Have you been following Kerodin's efforts to style himself and his "command group" as THE "national militia command"? I guess being the god king of a walled slave labor prison factory was too small an idea for his brilliant mind. Kerodin reminds me more of "Rev." Jim Jones every day.
