Economics of the Heart: National Guard and Illegal Orders<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown today (10\/8)\u00a0 led a coalition of 24\u00a0<\/span><\/a>AG’s<\/span>\u00a0and governors<\/span> in an amicus brief supporting Oregon\u2019s court challenge to the Trump administration\u2019s attempts to illegally use the military for civil law enforcement…”Every day we\u2019re witnessing tactics by the President of the United States that have been used by fascist leaders across the world \u2014 sending the military into cities, threatening to jail political opponents and trying to intimidate into silence the media, academia, law firms and any other perceived critic,\u201d Brown said. \u201cOur Founders never envisioned this for our country, and the law simply does not allow it.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Joining the brief are AG’s from Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawai\u2018i, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin, and the governors of Kansas, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0According to Cornell’s Legal Information Institute<\/a>, “if <\/span>the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions is invaded or\u00a0in danger of invasion by a foreign nation; experiences a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States, “the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws<\/span>, BUT:<\/strong> “<\/span> Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the Governors of the States<\/span> or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.”<\/u><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There should now be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Project 2025 is completely committed to hijacking US military forces to help them destroy democracy. In the war against immigrants we have gone from “they’re eating the dogs!”<\/em> to grabbing people off the streets at gunpoint and disappearing them to foreign countries (even Florida!)<\/em> with no legal process or paper trails, to using our military to bomb from the air (on camera!)<\/em> random small boats at sea and killing everyone aboard with undocumented assertions that they were smuggling dangerous drugs into the U.S. That is just plain old vicious, unjustifiable, literally unwarranted<\/em> Murder<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can draw a straight line from these expanding threads of irresponsible murder, kidnapping, and brutal ICE raids all over the country directly to the current effort to invade major Blue cities and states with heavily armed police, soldiers, and masked ICE agents creating deliberate chaos in American cities, especially Blue ones. This is where the brutality starts following even more faithfully the models established by Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and other Fascist, Nazi, (name your dictator) rulers.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you can do:<\/strong><\/em><\/span> If you have a friend or relative in the military or National Guard, remind them that they have both a right and a responsibility<\/em><\/span> to refuse to obey illegal orders.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The more service members that understand their obligation to refuse to be part of an insurrection, the safer we all<\/em> will be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
