Oath Keepers

I just came across a most interesting www site. Oath Keepers. Here is how they describe themselves.

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, peace officers, and firefighters who will fulfill the oath we swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help us God.
Our motto is “Not on our watch!”

You know. I took that oath myself. I understand just how those guys feel. And I am with them. All the way.
Here is a list of ten orders they will refuse to obey.

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

You know. I think our current President has bit off much more than he can chew.
We are getting our own American Schwarze Kapelle (Black Orchestra) only openly.
It does Obama no good to be Commander in Chief if the military will not follow his orders. I’m not sure the people who put Obama in the White House understood exactly what they were biting off when they made their plans.
A reference to Oath Keepers in the comments to this Atlas Shrugs post Wanted: National Guard For “Internment” Position got me to look into Oath Keepers.

    Maybe that’s what Obama’s “civilian national security force” is meant to be for.

    Well, we need to report them to flags@whitehouse.gov.
    Obvious subversives who don’t realize that winning an election is akin to being declared Caesar by the Roman Senate.

    Keep an eye on “emergency” type legislation like HR 645.

    We dont know what % this is of the armed forces. Probably very small.

    Yehudit,
    Of course it is small. It is just beginning. You know what to do. Send out e-mails. Blog it. Facebook it.
    And look at my AARP Post (not quite up on CV yet).
