***SPECIAL LIBERTY ALERT***

Documents obtained by an investigator have revealed that libertarians in the tradition of Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin should be considered 'dangerous terrorists.'

The information was disseminated to Missouri law enforcement agencies by the 'Missouri Information Analysis Center,' and was intended to be 'law enforcement sensitive,' or in other words, 'not for public consumption.'

The documents appear to be legit.

Obama's Commie-Style Civilian Security Force

Barack Obama has stated repeatedly, though you would never hear it in the mainstream media, that he intends to begin a so-called 'Civilian Security Force' that would 'be just as powerful and just as well-funded as the military.'

Here is the video from part of an Obama speech on the subject.

Free societies based upon democratic principles have never had such civilian armies. The only regimes in the world that have implemented such measures are totalitarian ones, such as Cuba under Castro and Germany under Hitler, just to name two.

It is difficult to understand what, exactly, Obama would have this massive civilian police-state do unless it is to make sure his policies are implemented with minimal opposition from citizens.

When we look to other police states around the world, we gain some clues.

One can imagine neighbor spying on neighbor to make sure all of the peons in the citizenry 'cooperate' with the new Obama order. One can imagine gun confiscation.

In order to justify the huge expenditures that beginning such a mammoth program will entail, Obama would need a list of specific goals and objectives for this civilian police-state army.

Rest assured that with a civilian army the size Obama envisions, we can expect an avalanche of government intrusion into our daily lives. Big Brother will be watching every move. Citizen will be pitted against citizen. Former friends will become enemies...that is, unless we all get on board the Obama train to hell.
