Americans Give Thanks That US Military Can Now Kill Americans Domestically
Big Brother celebrates Directive 5240.01! Lethal force by troops aiding law enforcement ensures safety. Trust leaders; paranoia is wrongthink. The battlefield is everywhere, but don’t worry—you're safe. pic.twitter.com/Ydpu5JAmGX

The United States of America has amended its rules to allow the military to use lethal force on American citizens when assisting local law enforcement. In other words, America just got a whole lot safer.
This is unequivocally a positive development. The intelligence community is no longer restricted to mere spying. The last thing Big Brother wants is to hamstring our brave troops when they’re in the field of battle. Even if that field of battle is the field behind your house.
Misguided proles might raise a stink, presuming this puts them and their loved ones in danger. But the possibility of danger, and actual danger are very different things. Trust your leaders.
In the event that American lives were ever at risk, the signs would be all around us. Ron Paul and other resistors are simply making a controversy where none exists. This is bare-faced wrongthink and paranoia. Nothing more.
So, count your blessings knowing the US of A just spelled safety, and it’s spelled Directive 5240.01.
SYNTAX ERROR
PRINTING JUST THE FACTS
- The US Department of Defense (DOD) has updated its “Directive 5240.01” to allow the military to use “lethal force” against Americans on American soil when assisting federal, state, or local law enforcement.
- While lethal force must first be approved by the Secretary of Defense, this is a significant expansion of the original Directive 5240.1 and its subsequent revisions, which have focused on intelligence gathering rather than killing Americans.
- The original Directive 5240.1, issued in 1982, gave the DOD the power to assist civilian authorities in gathering intelligence to combat espionage, terrorism, and drug trafficking.
- In 2007, it was revised to allow the military not only to “collect, process, retain, or disseminate information concerning” Americans but to share it with the entire Intelligence Community, of which there are 18 agencies today.
- The 2016 revision expanded the military’s power to conduct “non-consensual” surveillance of “current or former” military members and retain “incidentally” collected information on Americans “for up to 5 years.”
- Critics have pointed out that this isn’t a “law” passed by the legislature but rather an action taken by the “administrative state.” They also claim the government could use this to legally kill Americans who protest certain government policies.
