The current administration has been riddled with suspicion for many clear-thinking people. At this point in history, some of those suspicions have proved well-justified and others remain unrealized. While the motives of Mr. Obama are still being debated, his actions have been destructive on all levels imaginable to this writer. This destruction has given rise to conspiracy theorists and alarmists that legitimately fear for the future of this nation. And scandal after scandal has been squelched by the onset of some newsworthy chaos that has supplanted its position in the media.

Examples of convenient chaos

The most recent conveniently positioned chaos took the spotlight off Mrs. Clinton. It also fanned the flames of racial division that began with the arrest of a black Harvard professor in 2009. Of course it escalated with the murder of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Gamer, Freddie Gray, and the current incidents in St. Paul and Houston. How convenient for Mrs. Clinton, and a bonus for the race-baiters in the White House. But as usual, the devil is in the details – and in this case, that might be more than just a popular phrase.

Unrealized conspiracy theories predict a time in the near future when Mr. Obama will declare martial law. He would use state or national military forces to impose this when civil authority has broken down. Such a declaration, according to theory, would have the goal of suspending the presidential campaign, allowing the current occupant of the White House to remain the occupant of the White House and continue his destructive work. However, Obama would have a problem with such a declaration. Many patriotic military, police, and constitutional sheriffs would not turn against their own people. Or does he have a problem?

The Ready Reserve Corps

Again, the devil is in the details – or in this case, the devil may be H.R. 3590, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act. The convoluted and voluminous 2700 page bill with its additional 20,000 pages of rules, regulations, and proposed regulations contains many arguably unconstitutional laws. Why else did Congress need to pass it on Christmas Eve when many legislators were home for the holidays?

Section 5210 contains such an unconstitutional provision. It establishes and appropriates funds for a “Ready Reserve Corps” appointed by the President and reporting directly to him. This begs the question of why do we need such a private Ready Reserve? We already have a constitutional regular Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, National Guard, state and local police, first responders, EMT, and rescue workers of all kinds and in all locations. We also have the police forces of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. And why bury such a force (if necessary) in healthcare legislation?

First chaos, then crackdown

Today a man who had the unprecedented opportunity to heal the tentacles of racism that persisted, instead fans its flames. How could one not think that perhaps the time has come when the muscles of the Ready Reserve Corps will flex and join the reportedly armed government departments, such as the IRS and post office. Will Houston and St. Paul be the matches that ignite the fire to extinguish the next presidential election, or are they simply the tool being used to divert attention from Mrs. Clinton’s email scandal?

No, I’m not implying that Obama recruited the cop shooters or that he somehow orchestrated these events. But it is well-reported that Mr. George Soros is funding the protesters. I suggest that anti-American forces such as these may be taking full advantage of Alinsky’s “useful idiots”. They seek to divide and conquer what remains of our nation. May God help us. For with God all things are possible, even the survival of liberty under assault by tyrannical forces that would strip us of our sovereignty.

The time to fight is not yet upon us. But the time to raise awareness and pray for wisdom bears upon us with great weight. Be an American patriot: pray, and after you have prayed, arm yourself properly. The words of Patrick Henry ring true today… for the battle is (still) not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. And today your country is calling you to be strong, vigilant, active, and brave – as well as prayed-up. Against such, the evil conspirators of this nation cannot stand – even with a Ready Reserve Corps.

Editor’s Notes

See here for a review of an eerily prescient television pilot from 1967, Shadow on the Land. It outlines just such a sequence of chaos and crackdown. See also this review of a 1983 motion picture presaging the hyper-militarization, and the federalization, of the police.
