Is Obama's 'civilian national security force' a ruse for something far more sinister?
Topics: Political News and commentaries
WND reports that President-elect Barack Obama raised questions during an election campaign stop in Colorado Springs when he repeated what he's said before, that the U.S. needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force. Obama has been unclear as to what the purpose of such a "force" would be and vague as to what it would actually involve. However, Obama's vague and often shadowy past, his associations, and his prior rhetoric, foretell of something far more sinister that would include putting impressionable youth through a course of brainwashing, and pro-Marxist activities.



As WND reported back in September:

The tax-funded Chicago organization (Public Allies - called "Michelle's boot camp for radicals" by IBD ) cited as a probable model for programs to integrate youth into the social and political world under an Obama tenure in the White House is the epitome of "Big Brother " that shovels impressionable youth through a course of brainwashing, according to critics.

The organization is called Public Allies and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of directors in 1992. He later resigned and his wife became executive director of the group.

According to an editorial in Investor's Business Daily, Obama plans to use the non-profit, which is funded partly by the federal government and is featured on Obama's campaign website, as the model for a national service corps, called the "Universal Voluntary Public Service."
Via WND's piece on November 6, it just gets more frightening:


The Blue Collar Muse blog commented, "In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion. Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that? The questions are legion and the implications of such an organization are staggering! What would it do? According to the title, it's a civilian force so how would it go about discharging 'national security' issues? What are the Constitutional implications for such a group? How is this to be paid. ... The statement was made in the context of youth service. Is this an organization for just the youth or are adults going to participate? How does one get away from the specter of other such 'youth' organizations from Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union when talking about it?"

Obama's Colorado Springs speech was about a "call to service."

WND also reported Obama's "Universal Voluntary "Public Service" program promoted on his campaign website.

According to an editorial in Investor's Business Daily, Obama plans to use an existing group called Public Allies as a model for his national effort.

"Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas," said IBD. "They plan to herd American youth into government-funded re-education camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of 'social change.'"

The organization itself doesn't seem that alarming. It describes itself as serving communities "while developing better leaders for tomorrow." Young adults are placed in "community leadership" posts with various agencies and given weekly "training." They get $1,800 plus health and child care.

But IBD warned the real mission is something else.

The aim, the editorial said, "is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about 'social change' through threats, pressure, tensions and confrontation - the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul 'The Red' Alinsky."

Jerome Corsi, a WND columnist and the author of the No. 1 New York Times best-seller "The Obama Nation," agreed. He said the overall intent of the program is much the same as the goals of William Ayers, an Obama colleague and unrepentant radical who worked with the Illinois Democrat on funding public education programs.

"Remember, Obama has followed Saul Alinsky's ultimate advice," Corsi explained. "Saul Alinsky said radicals like Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman could not organize a picnic. Alinsky told his radicals to cut their hair, buy business suits and run for public office," he said.

"Ayers and Obama are both aimed at producing radical socialist change from within - working today to radicalize our institutions, instead of bombing them. Alinsky considered this approach to be much smarter because it was more likely to produce lasting 'change' and less likely to produce a backlash. In other words, the Alinsky-trained radical could apply more easily the Machiavellian technique of lying by denying they were pursuing radical goals if they appeared to be members in good standing of the establishment they were trying merely to 'change,'" Corsi said.

IBD cited statistics from Public Allies itself, in which it boasted "our alumni are more than twice as likely as 18-34 year olds to ... engage in protest activities." The organization explains it already has dispatched 2,200 community organizers to agitate for "justice" and "equality" in Chicago, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and other cities.

I can't help but wonder how long it will be before freedom-loving moderate Democrats, Independents and the RINOs that voted for Obama, take a leap back into reality and ask themselves just what in the hell have they done to their country by handing over our government to the Barack Obama.
