Joe Biden and Kamala Harris weaponized the Department of Justice and FBI to go after anyone who speaks out against Democrats’ political agenda.
But it’s about to get worse.
And Ron Paul issued a warning about the military that will terrify every red-blooded American.
Former President Ronald Reagan once said that “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
Unfortunately, Reagan’s words were true.
Our liberties have been under assault from the federal government for decades.
Former Congressman and three-time Presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) served in the U.S. House from 1976 to 1977, from 1979 to 1985, and from 1997 to 2013.
He ran for President on the Libertarian Party’s ticket in 1988 and ran as a Republican in 2008 and 2012.
Ron Paul earned a reputation as a champion for liberty and free markets during his time in office.
His colleagues dubbed him “Dr. No!” for his refusal to vote for any piece of legislation not specifically authorized by the Constitution.
Even though he is no longer in office, Ron Paul remains active in politics through his various organizations and podcast, The Ron Paul Liberty Report.
And during a recent episode of his program, Ron Paul shared a terrifying warning about a policy recently implemented by the military.
“We want to start off with a headline from Zero Hedge, it’s a pretty hot headline,” Paul began. “The U.S. military is now authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil.”
Paul admitted that it sounds unbelievable.
However, he reminded his listeners that “they’ve been doing that for a long time when you think of the abuses of civil liberties and all the dumb policies.”
He pointed to COVID as a recent example.
“How many died at the hands of stupid government policy over COVID?” Paul added.
And now the U.S. military is “authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil.”
Paul described the new policy as “a bad thing.”
“Just ahead, intriguingly, of the November elections, the U.S. military has granted itself permission to unleash ‘lethal force’ on the civilian population in cases of ‘national security’ emergency,” Zero Hedge wrote in the article.
Ron Paul then made a terrifying prediction.
He said “this would open up the door” for them to say “send in the troops, we need you to shoot a couple of these people” because “they are opposing our policies, they’re demonstrating against COVID rules.”
According to Paul, “it’s not a law, it’s a DoD directive that was reissued just on September 27.”
“It governs the Department of Defense intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing lethal force in certain circumstances,” he said.
Paul reminded Americans that “you’re not supposed to use the federal military to enforce laws.”
“The U.S. military, for the record, is expressly prohibited from engaging domestically with the citizenry with very specific, narrow exceptions, per the Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S. Code § 1385,” Zero Hedge reported.
This new directive is the latest example of big brother run amok.
And it shows why freedom-loving Americans need to actively engage in the political arena.
