The
surge of bullet-buying confirmed by the federal government – purchase
estimates run into the billions of bullets – even as the U.S. military
scrimps to find training ammo is raising lots of questions about the
government’s so-far unexplained actions.
But a video that has been around since last year is being forwarded across the Internet as an explanation.
The six minutes recorded by Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin,
retired, warns that America is well along the pathway that other
societies have used to bludgeon and beat their populations into
submission to socialism. Even to the point of establishing a
“constabulary force” to control the people.
Maybe those bullets do have a destination.
Boykin now is executive vice president of Family Research Council.
But during his military career, he was one of the original members of
the U.S. Army’s Delta Force. He ultimately commanded those elite
warriors in combat operations. Later, Boykin commanded all the Army’s
Green Berets as well as the Special Warfare Center and School.
In all, Lt. Gen. Boykin spent 36 years in the army, serving his last
four years as the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.
On the video, Boykin explains simply that he knows the standard
process for creating a socialist or Marxist state because he studied it
as a military officer.
His concern is that the six steps “done in every Marxist insurgency”
now “are being done in America today.” He lists them: 1. nationalize
major sections of the economy (the corporate bailouts), 2. redistribute
wealth (the man appointed to head Medicare said health care is “nothing
but a redistribution of wealth”), 3. discredit opposition (Boykin said
he’s “never been so angry” as when the Obama administration called
returning vets, pro-lifers and others a terror threat), 4. censorship
(since old guard media already was in line, Obama’s censorship has been
through “hate crimes” legislation aimed at Christian pastors and
others), 5. gun control (see Washington’s present agenda), and 6. a
constabulary force.
That would be “a force that can control the population,” Boykin warned.
To those who say that isn’t present in the U.S., he responds, “Let me
remind you that prior to the election (in 2008) the president stood up
and said if elected he would want a national civilian security force as
large as and well-funded as the military.”
WND reported on Obama’s demands at the time for
a “civilian national security force.”
What he actually said was:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said. “We’ve got to
have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as
strong, just as well-funded.”
“Hitler had the brown shirts,” Boykin said.
He said while people may not think it’s happening, such a force already is in the law – of Obamacare.
“There are paragraphs that talk about the commissioning of officers
in time of national crisis to work directly for the president,” he said.
That’s “laying the groundwork for a constabulary force that will
control the population in America.”
Boykin’s recommendation?
“Look at what’s happening. Get out and do something to help stop
something. Use our constitutional tools. Let your congressman know how
you feel about this. Be a pain in their neck … .”
WND previously reported on the Obamacare section allowing for the military like force.
According to
Section 5210 of HR 3590,
titled “Establishing a Ready Reserve Corps,” the force must be ready
for “involuntary calls to active duty during national emergencies and
public health crises.”
The health-care legislation adds millions of dollars for recruitment
and amends Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204),
passed July 1, 1944, during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency.
The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is one of the seven
uniformed services in the U.S.
However, Obama’s changes more than double
the wording of the Section 203 and dub individuals who are currently
classified as officers in the Reserve Corps commissioned officers of the
Regular Corps.
The following is the previous wording of the act as of 2004, before Democrats passed the health-care legislation:
Wording of Section 203 of Public Health Service Act before Obamacare amendment

The
U.S. Public Health Service website
describes its commissioned corps as “an elite team of more than 6,000
full-time, well-trained, highly qualified public health professionals
dedicated to delivering the nation’s public health promotion and disease
prevention programs and advancing public health science.”
As stated in the health-care legislation, “The purpose of the Ready
Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned
Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed
service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps
personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response
missions.”
WND also reported in January
when a Rand Corporation report proposed the federal government create a
rapid deployment “Stabilization Police Force” that would be tasked with
“shaping an environment before a conflict” and restoring order in times
of war, natural disaster or national emergency.
