Podcasts about Posse Comitatus Act

Trump's new Executive Order to “unleash” cops on Americans, defend them with the free legal work he extorted from major law firms, and then use the military against the American People, is not only a violation of the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act, but is one step closer to Trump declaring Martial Law. Michael Popok explains how Big Law, which gave Trump a billion dollars worth of free legal service, is complicit in Trump's lawlessness and will end up being on the wrong side of the next case to challenge this Executive Order.

President Trump has deployed 1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S. border with Mexico. But a nearly 150-year-old law, the Posse Comitatus Act, bars using the military for domestic law enforcement purposes. The CA Environmental Protection Agency secretary explains the cleanup phases for LA’s wildfires, and expects no complications from the Trump administration.   DeepSeek built an open-source AI chatbot to rival ChatGPT that it claims is more efficient. The company’s rise improves China’s position in the AI development race.   Companies like Suno and Udio are releasing ever more sophisticated generative AI music tools, and more artists are starting to collaborate with the technology.

... they start carrying out law enforcement functions. "This is important," Ali Velshi explains this week as he discusses the role and limitations of the U.S. Posse Comitatus Act.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF). At one point, Trump defiantly proclaimed: “I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal—I call it the Green New Scam. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy.” 5:30pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. Will the soon-to-be released files show that President Kennedy was killed by the C.I.A.??? Matt emphatically says he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories and thinks Gerald Posner's assessment is likely correct—there was no “inside job.” But Rich and Justin want to see the unredacted files before accepting that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. 5:40pm- While speaking to reporters outside of the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that 1,500 U.S. troops will be sent to the Southern border to protect the country's sovereignty. In an executive order signed on Monday night, the Trump Administration classified unlawful border crossings as an “invasion” and designated drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” which should allow the administration to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/23/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ Americans arrested for a series of crimes related to events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, and he commuted the sentences of 14 others. Rich notes that several things can be true at once: some of those arrested acted abhorrently, but the Department of Justice was overly aggressive with prosecutions. According to some reports, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is at least considering charging January 6th offenders with local crimes which would not be covered under President Trump's pardon. 3:15pm- In the Oval Office on Monday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order clarifying the 14th Amendment—emphasizing limitations to “birthright citizenship.” The Trump Administration's interpretation states that the children of non-U.S. citizens who are in the country unlawfully should not be granted citizenship. The Congressional Research Center has noted that the Supreme Court “has not firmly settled the issue in the modern era.” Rich points out that courts already recognize a narrow exception to the 14th Amendment, not granting U.S. citizenship to the children of diplomats. 3:40pm- Michael Donahue—Cape May GOP Chairman & former New Jersey Superior Court Judge—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the American First Policy Institute establishing a New Jersey-based chapter of their organization with Donahue serving as Chair! 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. He also pardoned imprisoned pro-life activists. 4:40pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump suggested it might be a wise decision to be less reliant upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and instead allow states to manage their own disaster relief. 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF).

La vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump a pris forme dès son discours d'investiture. Dans la soirée du 20 Janvier, il a signé depuis la Maison Blanche le décret déclarant l'état d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique. Donald Trump compte aussi s'attaquer au droit d'asile et au droit du sol. À Los Angeles, à des centaines de kilomètres de Washington, c'est l'incrédulité qui domine avec le renforcement de cette politique anti-immigration. Des opérations d'arrestations et d'expulsions massives pourraient débuter très vite.Dans le quartier d'Altadena, ces mêmes immigrés que Donald Trump veut renvoyer dans leur pays aident à déblayer les quartiers dévastés par les incendies qui ont fait 27 morts.« C'est un message que nous voulons envoyer, le jour même de l'investiture », explique Nadia Marin-Molina de l'organisation de défense des droits des travailleurs immigrés, NDLON, rencontré par notre envoyé spécial Achim Lippold. « Alors que les immigrants sont stigmatisés par le nouveau gouvernement, ici, des travailleurs immigrés se mobilisent pour aider leur quartier », poursuit-elle. Certains ont tout perdu : leur maison, leur travail et à présent ils risquent l'expulsion.José, un migrant venu du Guatemala il y a 18 ans est en situation irrégulière et il est inquiet : « J'ai perdu mon emploi parce que je travaillais pour une famille de Pacific Palisades qui a perdu sa maison. Je m'occupais de leur jardin. Alors, comme je n'ai plus rien à faire, je viens ici depuis plusieurs jours pour aider à nettoyer. J'essaie de redonner un peu à ce pays qui m'a tant donné. »Chaque matin, des centaines de bénévoles affluent pour donner un coup de main dans ce quartier particulièrement touché par les feux. Beaucoup sont dans des situations extrêmement précaires : ils n'ont pas accès à l'aide fédérale. Certains évitent même les centres d'aide publiques, par peur des contrôles de la police fédérale de l'immigration qu'ils appellent « la Migra », en espagnol.L'inquiétude sur ce qui va se passer dans les prochains jours est bien réelle, explique José : « Tous mes amis, ceux qui n'ont pas de papiers, disent : mais comment je vais faire ? J'ai une voiture, j'ai un crédit… Ça fait des années que je suis ici, comment je vais faire s'ils me renvoient dans mon pays alors que j'ai des enfants ici ? » À la frontière mexicaine, des milliers de migrants bloqués dans l'attente d'un rendez-vousPremier effet concret de la vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump : la plateforme de demandes d'asile lancée par l'administration Biden Customs and Border Protection (CBP One) a cessé de fonctionner dès lundi. «Les rendez-vous existants ont été annulés», a indiqué le service sur son site internet.Au Mexique, des milliers de migrants principalement d'origine d'Amérique du Sud et d'Amérique centrale sont déconcertés. Dans la ville frontalière de Ciudad Juarez, Carly Fernandez, rencontré par notre correspondante Gwendolina Duval vient de recevoir un courriel d'annulation de son rendez-vous prévu en février. « On a tant lutté pour arriver là », témoigne-t-elle, « Ma soeur veut rentrer, elle fatigue de tout ce qu'on a enduré pour arriver ici… pour rien… »Au Paso de Norte, lui des points d'entrée pour aller à pied aux États-Unis, Yaledi a eu l'espoir d'être parmi les dernières à bénéficier du programme CBP One comme une centaine d'autres personnes qui attendaient depuis tôt le matin. Mais elle vient d'apprendre qu'elle ne pourra plus déposer une demande d'asile aux États-Unis, malgré son rendez-vous programmé l'après-midi même. « Je trouve que c'est injuste », dit-elle, « ce matin encore des personnes encore sont entrées. Pourquoi on ne nous donne pas cette chance ? Pourquoi ? ». Haïti : la fin du programme Humanitarian Parole « un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens »Donald Trump a également mis fin au programme « Humanitarian Parole » spécifiquement conçu pour les migrants en provenance d'Haïti, de Cuba, du Nicaragua et du Venezuela.Pour Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, « c'est un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens qui comptaient sur ce programme appelé aussi « programme Biden » comme moyen pour fuir le pays ». « C'était une voie pour trouver refuge aux États-Unis et tenter de se créer un autre avenir », poursuit-il, « c'est un coup dur pour eux et c'est également l'incertitude pour d'autres qui bénéficiaient du programme temporaire : ils ne savent pas ce que sera leur sort, alors que le président américain brandit la menace de centaines de milliers d'expulsions »Pour Frantz Duval, qui signe un éditorial dans le Nouvelliste intitulé Trump, Haïti et les Haïtiens, Donald Trump « avait fait des Haïtiens installés à Springfield dans l'Ohio les emblèmes de l'immigration délétère » et le président américain avait à plusieurs reprises insulté ceux qui « habitent un sale trou (pour employer un euphémisme) et sont porteurs du Sida ». « Si l'on ignore si Donald Trump va se pencher sur les affaires haïtiennes autrement que via son programme restrictif sur l'immigration », poursuit l'éditorialiste, « il a déjà annoncé la couleur : le programme humanitarian Parole » qui bénéficie à de nombreux Haïtiens, « a pris fin ce jour même quelques heures après sa prestation de serment ». « Le président Trump peut nous enfoncer, nous laisser cuire dans notre jus ou nous ignorer. Dans tous les cas, nous avons des devoirs à faire. », conclut le Nouvelliste. Certains décrets anti-immigration de Trump « compliqués voire impossibles à mettre en œuvre »État d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique et «millions» d'expulsions promises, retrait de l'accord de Paris sur le climat, grâces pour des centaines d'assaillants du Capitole... L'avalanche de décrets signés par Donald Trump pour son retour au pouvoir compte quelques mesures spectaculaires qui risquent néanmoins d'être difficiles à mettre en œuvre. Elles promettent aussi de vives contestations devant les tribunaux. Certaines semblent même violer la constitution américaine.«Si le message est très clair», dit le NY Times, certains de ces décrets anti-immigration feront face à « de gros défis d'un point de vue légal et pourraient être compliqués voire impossible à appliquer ». Pour exemple, l'état d'urgence décrété à la frontière mexicaine et le rôle de l'armée qui pourrait être sollicité pour autre chose qu'un simple maintien de l'ordre. Le décret indique que l'armée aidera à « refermer les frontières et maintenir la souveraineté, l'intégrité du territoire et la sécurité des États-Unis en repoussant les différentes formes d'invasion ».« Cette directive pourrait entrer en opposition avec une loi datant de 1870 appelée le Posse Comitatus Act qui limite l'usage des troupes fédérales à des fins de maintien de l'ordre à l'intérieur des États-Unis », explique le NY Times qui fait aussi allusion à la volonté de Donald Trump de mettre fin au droit du sol, qui viendrait contredire le « 14ième amendement vieux de 157 ans, et d'ailleurs, dans les heures qui ont suivi cette annonce », explique le quotidien américain, « l'union américaine des libertés civiles a déjà annoncé sa volonté d'intenter un procès. » Colombie : l'état d'urgence décrété pour 90 joursLa Colombie fait face à une vague de violences, des affrontements entre guérillas qui ont déjà fait plus d'une centaine de morts et 20 000 déplacés. Le président Gustavo Petro a déclaré l'état d'urgence, un décret qui sera effectif pour 90 jours avec possibilité de prolongation jusqu'à 270 jours, précise El espectador dans son édition du jour, mais le président colombien aura besoin de l'aval du Parlement s'il veut prolonger.Pour Semana qui cite des sources gouvernementales, l'état d'urgence ne s'appliquera pas à tout le territoire mais « dans les municipalités les plus touchées du nord de Santander en raison des affrontements entre l'ELN et les dissidents des FARC. »« C'est un caprice pour gouverner par décret », fustige l'opposition dans El espectador. La sénatrice María Fernanda Cabal du Centre Démocratique estime que « la situation dans la région du Catatumbo autour du contrôle de la production de cocaïne a été créée par le président lui-même. »

This Day in Legal History: Squeaky Fromme ConvictedOn this day in 1975, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a devoted follower of cult leader Charles Manson, was found guilty by a federal jury in Sacramento, California, for attempting to assassinate President Gerald Ford. The incident occurred on September 5, 1975, in Sacramento's Capitol Park, where Fromme aimed a Colt .45 handgun at Ford as he greeted the public. Though the weapon did not discharge—later found to lack a bullet in the firing chamber—the act was a chilling reminder of the volatile political atmosphere of the 1970s. Fromme claimed she wanted to draw attention to environmental issues and the plight of California redwoods, framing her actions as a desperate bid to make her concerns heard.The trial was marked by Fromme's erratic behavior, including disruptions and self-represented courtroom antics that reflected her unwavering loyalty to Manson and his apocalyptic worldview. Prosecutors argued that Fromme's actions posed a genuine threat to the president's life, even though the gun had not fired. The jury deliberated for just over a day before convicting her of attempted assassination under federal law, a crime that carried a potential life sentence.The case underscored the rising threats to public officials during a turbulent era in American history, following closely on the heels of other high-profile political attacks. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Fromme served 34 years before being paroled in 2009. Her conviction remains a stark reminder of the enduring dangers posed by extremist ideologies and the individuals who act upon them.The Biden administration has proposed a rule to expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage to include weight-loss drugs, potentially providing access to millions of Americans with obesity while significantly increasing government healthcare costs. Medicare currently covers related medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro for diabetes but excludes obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound. Only 13 state Medicaid programs cover these high-cost treatments, which can exceed $1,000 monthly. The proposed rule could reduce patient out-of-pocket costs by up to 95% and offset expenses through lowered rates of obesity-linked diseases, including diabetes and heart conditions.The Congressional Budget Office estimates the expanded Medicare coverage could cost $35 billion over nine years. However, these costs might decrease after 2025 when semaglutide, the active ingredient in several weight-loss drugs, becomes subject to government price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act. Drugmakers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly stand to benefit from this policy, as the global market for obesity drugs is projected to reach $130 billion by 2030.The proposal is seen as a win for patients and physicians advocating for broader access, but it also poses challenges to efforts to reduce government spending. Some, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., argue that healthier food initiatives could address obesity more affordably. Novo and Lilly have been working to demonstrate additional health benefits of these medications, aiming to expand insurance coverage and increase acceptance among policymakers. The proposed rule must undergo a formal review process before implementation.Biden Proposes Medicare, Medicaid Coverage of Obesity Drugs (1)Donald Trump's incoming administration faces a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape with increased cyber threats, growing system vulnerabilities, and challenges from generative AI. Balancing national security with deregulation goals adds uncertainty to its approach, particularly as it inherits initiatives from the Biden era. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), established during Trump's first term, remains pivotal for safeguarding critical infrastructure but faces scrutiny from Republicans over its efforts to counter election misinformation. Proposed rule changes under the 2022 Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA), which require entities to report cyber incidents, await finalization amid industry pushback.The Biden administration emphasized industry-specific cybersecurity rules, such as water system safeguards, aviation security standards, and transportation cyber risk requirements, but these have faced challenges, including legal and political opposition. Trump's administration may prioritize oversight while easing regulatory burdens, potentially reducing the influence of agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in cybersecurity enforcement.CISA's future is uncertain, with calls to shift it under the Transportation Security Administration, which could impact its authority. Jen Easterly, CISA's current director, will step down on Inauguration Day, leaving leadership decisions to Trump. A possible reduction in enforcement, especially targeting executives, may be welcomed by companies in the cybersecurity space, which have faced intense scrutiny in recent years. The administration's ultimate stance on these policies remains unclear, signaling a potential shift away from the Biden administration's regulatory approach.Trump's Cybersecurity Faces Biden's Legacy, Rising Threats AheadDisney has agreed to pay $43.3 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its female employees in California earned significantly less than male colleagues over an eight-year span. Filed in 2019 by LaRonda Rasmussen, the lawsuit claimed disparities of up to $20,000 annually for women holding the same job titles as men, including those with less experience. The case eventually grew to represent 9,000 current and former female employees.As part of the settlement, Disney will employ a labor economist for three years to assess and address pay equity among full-time, non-union California employees below the vice president level. An analysis of Disney's HR data, conducted by a University of California professor, found that women were paid approximately 2% less than men during the analyzed period.Although Disney denied wrongdoing, a spokesperson emphasized the company's commitment to fair pay. The settlement agreement, filed in California state court, awaits judicial approval.Disney settles suit over women's pay for $43 million | ReutersPresident-elect Donald Trump's plan to use the military in deportation efforts breaks with U.S. norms against deploying troops domestically but may avoid legal challenges if confined to support roles, such as building detention camps or transporting migrants. The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act bars the military from law enforcement activities, but exceptions, such as the Insurrection Act and National Guard deployments under state control, create legal ambiguity. Trump's proposal to increase deportation capacity by 20 times would require extensive use of these exceptions and could lead to conflicts with state governors.Critics argue that this approach undermines constitutional norms, with legal scholars highlighting the potential for overreach. Governors refusing to deploy their National Guard could force Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, historically used for civil rights and law enforcement emergencies, though courts typically defer to presidential authority in national security matters. Experts warn that expanded military roles could open avenues for legal challenges, especially if funding or state jurisdiction issues arise.This plan raises significant concerns about its impact on democratic principles. Using the military for mass deportations would set a troubling precedent for civilian governance and law enforcement. While legally feasible in limited roles, the proposal's broad ambitions risk undermining constitutional traditions and provoking legal and political pushback.Trump plan to use military in deportations should stand up in court | Reuters This is a public episode.

With eight days to go until Election Day, veteran prosecutors Mary McCord and Andrew Weissmann tackle several issues related to the vote and its aftermath: if Donald Trump doesn't win the election, could his DC criminal case be dismissed based on the Appointments Clause? Can a president use the military domestically against "the enemy within" despite the constraints of the Posse Comitatus Act? Will another ‘red mirage' followed by a ‘blue shift' cause the former president to cry foul and call for stopping the electoral count? And, will Elon Musk and his America PAC be held liable for paying residents in swing states to register?  Andrew and Mary address these questions and remind listeners to vote!Further Reading: Andrew and Ryan Goodman's recent piece on Just Security: An Overlooked January 6 Charge: The “Stop the Count” SchemeWant to listen to this show without ads?

Darrell Castle talks about a new Department of Defense directive 5240.01 which allows the US military to use lethal force against American citizens when assisting police authorities in domestic disturbances. Transcription/Notes MILITARY USE OF LETHAL FORCE IN AMERICA Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle report. This is Friday the 18th day of October in the year of our Lord 2024. I will be talking about a new Department of Defense directive 5240.01 which allows the US military to use lethal force against American citizens when assisting police authorities in domestic disturbances. This Directive changes the relationship between the American people and their military and coming this close to the election might indicate civil disturbances, otherwise known as a coup, are expected in case of a Trump win. Yes, it seems that politicians on the Democrat side of the political spectrum, apparently unable to articulate any position on any issue that might be of vital importance to the electorate or the American people in general, are unleashing their inner demons to fuel the fantasies of a few prominent people on the left. The DOD directive allowing the use of lethal force by the US military inside the US is particularly frightening to me for many reasons. It seems to be a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the intent of that act which prohibits use of US military in a law enforcement capacity. Posse Comitatus originally passed in 1878, limited the power of the federal government in a law enforcement capacity. It was originally intended to get the military out of law enforcement in the south post-civil war. It has been expanded and reinforced many times, the last being the Defense Authorization Act in 2022. The act has some grey areas for politicians to wriggle through such as the fact that it doesn't apply to the various state guards or even to the Coast Guard which has law enforcement responsibility offshore. Generally speaking, I am on alert when the federal government starts to push into the grey areas like this latest directive does. In my opening paragraph I mentioned that it changes the historic relationship between the American people and their military and it weakens to the point of non-existence the concept of Posse Comitatus. Why now just before a very hotly contested election and why the specific permission for lethal force. I have a copy of the directive on my desk and it is about 22 pages of the usual bureaucratic gobbledygook but it does lay out some of the circumstances under which the military could be called on to use its lethal force against the American people. This specific authorization pushes the boundaries between domestic law enforcement and the military and should set off alarms that soon we may see armed soldiers on our streets as a form of intimidation and suppression of civil rights.  Am I overreacting to this directive, perhaps, but we will see, and I hope that seeing comes before it is too late. Opposition to Covid measures set up by the CDC but enforced locally could come under this directive potentially. People exercising their First Amendment rights would seem to me to be most at risk of this “lethal force.” Could a federal mandate to get vaccinated, wear a mask, or stay in your home be enforced by the US military or is that just too farfetched to believe. I think it could happen and I am not the only one. Why have this directive if there is absolutely no reason to use it. Free speech could be chilled under the guise of protecting national security. Covid protesters have already been defined as domestic terrorists by some agencies so expanding that would be the natural thing to do. I am just fearful that this directive along with several of the things I have talked about recently points toward us being herded into a box canyon with no escape and only one point of view can ever be expressed. Farfetched, maybe, but I don't think so.

This Day in Legal History: Posse Comitatus Act Passed On June 18, 1878, the U.S. Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act, a significant piece of legislation that shaped the relationship between the military and civil authorities. The Act made it a felony to use the Army to enforce domestic policies without explicit authorization from Congress or the Constitution. This law emerged from the Reconstruction era's complexities, particularly the federal military's role in enforcing laws in the Southern states post-Civil War. The term "posse comitatus" translates to "power of the county," and the Act aimed to reinforce the principle that civil authorities should maintain law and order without military involvement. The Posse Comitatus Act reflected a commitment to preventing military overreach in civilian matters and preserving democratic governance structures. This principle has influenced various legal and military policies over the years, including modern discussions on the military's role in domestic security. The Act underscores the balance between maintaining national security and protecting civil liberties, a balance that remains a cornerstone of American legal and political thought.Fisker Inc., an electric-vehicle startup, filed for bankruptcy after halting production of its problematic Ocean SUV. The company's filing in Delaware lists assets between $500 million and $1 billion and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million. This bankruptcy protects Fisker from creditors while it plans repayment.Henrik Fisker, known for designing BMW and Aston Martin cars, founded Fisker Inc., his second EV venture to face bankruptcy. His previous company, Fisker Automotive, also went bankrupt in 2013. Fisker Inc. went public in 2020 through a SPAC merger, raising roughly $1 billion and partnering with Magna International Inc. for vehicle manufacturing.Production of the Fisker Ocean SUV began in November 2022 but was plagued by missing features and software bugs. Influential YouTuber Marques Brownlee's negative review in February further damaged the company's reputation. Fisker produced over 10,000 vehicles but delivered fewer than 5,000 to customers. The company tried partnering with franchised dealers but faced significant financial difficulties, warning in February about its uncertain future. Although it secured $150 million from a lender, a potential deal with an automaker fell through. Magna International, a partner, halted further production of the Ocean SUV. Fisker's bankruptcy highlights broader challenges in the EV market, with several other startups also filing for bankruptcy amid slowing sales in the U.S. and Europe.Troubled Electric Vehicle Maker Fisker Files for BankruptcyUnion members at Amazon.com Inc. have voted overwhelmingly to align with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a major U.S. labor organization, in a move that could significantly impact staff contract negotiations. About 98% of the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) members supported this partnership, aimed at securing better jobs and working conditions for Amazon employees.The ALU, which achieved a historic win in 2022 by organizing workers at an Amazon facility in Staten Island, faced setbacks in subsequent elections and internal conflicts. The union struggled to bring Amazon to the negotiating table. However, ALU President Chris Smalls and 15 other officials reached an agreement with Teamsters President Sean O'Brien and his team in Washington. The Teamsters represent approximately 1.3 million people.This collaboration between the ALU and the Teamsters signals a significant step forward in labor organizing efforts at Amazon, potentially increasing pressure on the company to engage in meaningful negotiations with its workers. Amazon did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside normal business hours.Amazon Union Allies With Teamsters in Big Labor AdvanceThe EPA's new limits on PFAS in drinking water are a positive step but more comprehensive regulations are needed to manage the release and disposal of these harmful chemicals. At a recent conference, stakeholders including parents, firefighters, and farmers discussed the need for broader measures to eliminate nonessential PFAS uses and enforce stricter waste management practices.CDC data shows that reducing PFAS in drinking water correlates with lower blood levels of the chemicals in residents, validating the EPA's efforts. However, the current rules do not prevent the release of PFAS into water or apply to private wells, affecting millions of people.Environmental advocates emphasized the necessity of treating PFAS as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA's recent designation of certain PFAS as hazardous under the Superfund law aids cleanup efforts but falls short of comprehensive waste regulation. Proper disposal methods are critical to prevent further contamination, yet data on PFAS waste disposal is limited due to insufficient regulation.Participants called for more stringent discharge permits under the Clean Water Act and quicker implementation of hazardous waste rules. PFAS, widely used in industries like semiconductors and battery production due to their stability and resistance to damage, require robust management to prevent environmental and health risks.Examples of contamination were highlighted, including high PFAS levels from military bases causing serious health issues. The EPA's database on waste transfers shows significant amounts of PFAS-contaminated materials being sent to incinerators and other facilities, underscoring the need for better waste tracking and management.Advocates stress that eliminating unnecessary PFAS uses and implementing strong regulatory measures are essential steps to protect communities and the environment from long-term PFAS contamination.PFAS Drinking Water Limits Praised but More Regulations SoughtIn the ongoing litigation over Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) allegedly cancer-causing baby powders, a new legal battle has emerged over attorney-client privilege. Plaintiffs' lawyers accuse J&J of misusing the bankruptcy process to evade liability and are pushing for the crime-fraud exception to force the company to disclose internal communications. This could reveal J&J's strategies to limit liability in around 61,000 talc-related cases. The litigation involves J&J's use of the "Texas Two-Step," where it transfers liabilities to a subsidiary, which then files for bankruptcy. This maneuver has been met with controversy and legal challenges. Plaintiffs' attorneys argue that J&J's actions are fraudulent attempts to avoid liability and are calling for these communications to be made public to bolster their case.In a recent development, the plaintiffs are also seeking to disqualify some lawyers representing J&J and to prevent the company from proceeding with an $11 billion global settlement plan. This settlement, which requires approval from 75% of the plaintiffs, has faced opposition from some plaintiffs' firms.Despite J&J's efforts to resolve the litigation, the plaintiffs' legal team argues that more needs to be done to ensure justice for those affected by the contaminated talc products. They are also challenging J&J's use of bankruptcy as a tactic to force settlements and are pushing for the court to invalidate J&J's attorney-client privilege in this context. The outcome of this legal battle could significantly impact the strategies used in large-scale product liability cases, particularly those involving mass torts and bankruptcy.J&J's Talc Litigation Saga Gets Attorney-Client Privilege TwistThe IRS should adopt a remote-first work model to attract top talent and enhance operational efficiency. The COVID-19 pandemic proved that remote work is not only viable but also desirable for many employees, particularly in the tech sector. As the IRS continues to modernize with advanced technologies like AI and machine learning, it needs to recruit top-tier tech talent. Offering remote work can help attract this talent by allowing employees to work from anywhere, increasing job satisfaction and expanding the pool of potential applicants. The Treasury Department has found that job postings highlighting flexible working arrangements attract more applicants. Additionally, the IRS can save on overhead costs by reducing its physical office footprint, which remains significant despite many employees working remotely part-time. A remote-first approach would also help the IRS compete with private sector tech firms, which have successfully used remote work to attract employees despite offering lower salaries. This flexibility would enable the IRS to draw a diverse workforce, fostering a variety of perspectives and ideas. Existing policies limiting remote work to within 200 miles of an office need reform to maximize employee flexibility. Security is a critical concern, given the sensitive nature of taxpayer information the IRS handles. However, research indicates remote workers are often more aware of cybersecurity practices. To support a remote-first model, the IRS would need to invest in tech infrastructure and rework management and accountability measures to focus on outcomes rather than hours worked. Embracing remote work is essential for the IRS to continue modernizing and improving taxpayer interactions.IRS Should Embrace Remote-First Culture to Recruit Top Talent This is a public episode.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Nov. 28 at 7:15 a.m. CT: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration has told Israel that it must operate with far greater precision in southern Gaza if it renews a ground campaign aimed at eradicating the Hamas militant group. That's according to senior administration officials who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House. The officials said President Joe Biden and other administration officials have underscored to the Israelis that it is critical that the expected military campaign to eradicate Hamas in the south must be done in a way that does not cause “significant further displacement” of Palestinian civilians. One official said Israelis have been receptive when U.S. officials have raised these concerns. BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A man pleaded not guilty to attempted murder Monday in the weekend shooting of three college students of Palestinian descent in Vermont. The attack is being investigated as a possible hate crime. The three young men were shot and injured Saturday while walking near the University of Vermont campus. Forty-eight-year-old Jason Eaton was arrested Sunday and made a brief court appearance from jail Monday. He's charged with three counts of attempted murder. The U.S. Justice Department and state officials are also investigating whether the shooting was a hate crime. Protests have been widespread and tensions have escalated in the U.S. as the death toll rises in the Israel-Hamas war. ATLANTA (AP) — Rosalynn Carter will be memorialized Tuesday with classical music and beloved hymns, some of her favorite Biblical passages, and a rare gathering of all living U.S. first ladies and multiple presidents, including her 99-year-old husband Jimmy Carter. The funeral at Glenn Memorial Church in Atlanta falls on the second of a three-day schedule of public events celebrating the former first lady and global humanitarian. She died Nov. 19 at home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 96. Jimmy Carter's participation in his wife's memorials has been a day-to-day decision because of his own frail health. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend. They are longtime friends of the Carters. Country music stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will sing. WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump says he wants to reopen the contentious fight over the Affordable Care Act. He posted on his social media site Saturday that he is “seriously looking at alternatives” to “Obamacare” if he wins a second term. Democratic President Joe Biden's campaign cast the call as yet another “extremist” proposal from the GOP front-runner. The back-and-forth points to what could be a key issue in a general election rematch between Trump and Biden. Health care has generally been a better issue for Democrats than Republicans, who have largely abandoned efforts to repeal the law in recent years. POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — Police say a thick layer of fog is believed to have caused a roughly 30-vehicle collision on an Idaho interstate. The collision occurred Monday morning on eastbound Interstate 86 near Pocatello. Police say the fog caused visibility to significantly decrease in a short amount of time, slowing vehicles and causing a chain reaction crash. Police said one person with minor injuries was taken by ambulance to a hospital. Several others were taken by personal vehicles. Traffic on I-86 was blocked between exits 56 and 59 for seven hours, allowing for emergency responders and tow trucks to assist those involved and to clear the scene. WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden has chosen a White House holiday décor that she hopes will inspire guests to feel like kids again. “Magic, wonder and joy” is her theme. Guests will walk underneath the branches of a tree to enter. They will stroll along a hallway decorated with oversized holiday candy and other sweets. They will see Santa's sleigh and reindeer suspended above the grand foyer. The first lady unveiled the décor on Monday. It also celebrates the 200th anniversary of the publication of the poem commonly known as ”'Twas the Night Before Christmas.” She plans Wednesday to unveil a holiday ice rink on the White House lawn. Families of children and educators killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have made an offer to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay only a fraction of the $1.5 billion in legal judgments they won against him. Lawyers for the families said in a recent filing in Jones' bankruptcy case that they would accept at least $85 million over 10 years. The families were awarded the $1.5 billion in lawsuits against Jones for his calling the 2012 Connecticut school shooting a hoax and for the threats and harassment they endured from Jones' followers. Jones' bankruptcy lawyer said in court Monday that the $85 million settlement offer was too high. WASHINGTON (AP) — Experts in constitutional law and the military say the Insurrection Act gives presidents tremendous power with few restraints. Recent statements by former President Donald Trump raise questions about how he might use it if he wins another term. The front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination has spoken openly about his plans should he win the presidency, including using the military at the border and in cities struggling with violent crime. His plans also have included using the military against foreign drug cartels. The Insurrection Act, a law first crafted in the nation's infancy, is one of the most substantial exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits using the military for law enforcement purposes. In sports, the Bears win on a last minute field goal, the Panthers fire coach Frank Reich, LeBron James suffers his most lopsided loss, and the Wild fires coach Dean Evason. Also, Texas A&M hires Duke coach and former Aggies defensive coordinator Mike Elko to replace Jimbo Fisher. First this fall, a new round with COVID-19 shuttered Stephen Colbert's “The Late Show.” Now the show is again sidelined as the host recovers from a burst appendix. The comedian revealed on social media Monday that he's recovering after surgery, wiping out planned shows for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. “Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas,” he joked. Colbert had a busy three shows planned, including guests Jennifer Garner, Baz Luhrmann, Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammer, the return of former bandleader Jon Batiste and Barbra Streisand was to take “The Colbert Questionert.” —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

Continuity of Government (COG) , planerad inom Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEAD). Posse Comitatus Act. (Både gällande Space force's icke omfattande under valet samt hur man lurade borgmästaren i DC att använda National Guard för att befästa markyta runt DC , så att kriterierna i ockupationskapitlet skulle fullgöras) The Insurrection Act. (Efter valet och i och med 6:e Januari kan militären användas lagligt om man då befäste valfusket genom att ställa till med "upploppet") Sen hamnar vi i Law of War Manual, speciellt kapitel 11. Man kan väl säga att innan dess, så är USA PATRIOT act och FISA Amendments ACT 2008 - Section 702 helt jävla centrala för att kunna ta dom på laglig grund när det gäller allting annat också, inte bara det som hamnar i rent militära domstolar.

Marvin Harrison Jr. did not win the Biletnikoff award which is an absolute travesty. Canada's insane euthanasia practices continue. This time it is offered to a disabled female veteran Paralympian simply complaining about the length of time it was taking to get a chair lift installed in her home. What are the best methods for engaging our cultural opposition, the increased victim mentality, and the increases in anxiety, depression, and suicide? The Twitter Files Pt. 2 revealed clear evidence of the blacklisting we knew was happening but was repeatedly denied. Time magazine names its 2022 Person of the Year. Brittney Griner has returned to America via a prisoner exchange with a Russian arms dealer, the Merchant of Death, Viktor Bout. A thought experiment: in a national divorce, as a member of the red states, you would experience exponentially increased prosperity. In a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, a military officer told a New Jersey mom she was an extremist and they were monitoring her after a Facebook post complaining of her child's school promoting pansexuality. Freedom of religion is on the docket at the Supreme Court presides over the 303 Creative v. Elenis case.

#InsurrectionAct #1807 #US What is the US Insurrection Act of 1807? Who can invoke it? The Insurrection Act has been invoked throughout American history In the 19th century, it was invoked during conflicts with Native Americans In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was invoked during labor conflicts Later in the 20th century, it was used to enforce federally mandated desegregation, with Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy invoking the Act in opposition to the affected states' political leaders to enforce court-ordered desegregation More recently, governors have requested and received support following looting in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and during the 1992 Los Angeles riots In 2006, the George W. Bush administration considered intervening in the state of Louisiana's response to Hurricane Katrina despite the refusal from Louisiana's governor, but this was inconsistent with past precedent, politically difficult, and potentially unconstitutional 73–75 A provision of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, added by an unidentified sponsor, amended the Insurrection act to permit military intervention without state consent, in case of an emergency that hindered the enforcement of laws Bush signed this amendment into law, but some months after it was enacted, all fifty state governors issued a joint statement against it, and the changes were repealed in January 2008. On June 1, 2020, President Donald Trump warned that he would invoke the Act in response to the George Floyd protests following the killing of George Floyd In his official statement, Trump urged "every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers" to re-establish civil law and order "until the violence has been quelled" The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the President of the United States to deploy US military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection or rebellion The act provides a "statutory exception" to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of military personnel under federal command for law enforcement purposes within the United States Before invoking the powers under the Act, 10 USC § 254 requires the President to first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse

| WHERE ARE THE TROOPS What is the Insurrection Act and is it different to martial law? AMERICA saw protests, riots and natural disasters during the pandemic - with many calling for military assistance throughout. As Trump's presidency ends and civil unrest grows over Capitol clashes, unfounded rumours have spread suggesting President Trump could deploy the military and federal forces across the US. What is the Insurrection Act? The Insurrection Act gives the president the power to deploy the military and federal forces across the US. It was originally passed in 1807 by Congress. They created the Act to allow the president to use US armed troops and federalised National Guard troops inside its own borders. However it can only be used to suppress revolutions against the government and prevent civil disorder. It has never been imposed in the United States on a nationwide basis. What is the Insurrection Act and is it different to martial law? Martial Law has no single definition, but it refers to the military assisting the US government in domestic affairs. It has been declared 60 times in US history - mostly just to help local governments with natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina in 2005. However, Martial Law can also be used to describe the military replacing civilian government - but this rarely happens. In this instance, Martial Law suspends the First and Second Amendments of the US constitution, including freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, press freedom and the right to bear arms. Martial law is limited because of the Posse Comitatus Act from 1878, which stops troops from enforcing domestic law. It also prevents troops from searching and seizing property or dispersing crowds. EXCEPTION The Insurrection Act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act. It gives the US President a specific excuse to use Martial Law - only to restore order and prevent a rebellion against the government. Other extreme circumstances for the Insurrection Act to cancel out the Posse Comitatus Act is to suppress civil disorder and insurrection. So, the Insurrection Act is different to Martial Law, it is an exception in the rules that allows the President to deploy troops for domestic reasons.

What's going on in America's cities?The Trump administration says that gangs and violent anarchists are out of control, and that governors and mayors aren't doing enough to stop them. Accordingly, they're sending in the feds, and we are witnessing Robert Higgs's “Ratchet Effect” in real time. Federal Government is using the latest crisis to justify new incursions on our liberties.Patrick Eddington, a research fellow in homeland security and civil liberties at the Cato Institute, says that the recent DHS action in Portland is an experiment on unwitting human test subjects. The preliminary results seem to have emboldened the administrative state to push forward with “Operation Legend” – an aggressive federal law enforcement action in cities across the country. President Trump says that an alphabet soup of agencies - led by the DOJ - has “no choice but to get involved.”“The FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals Service and Homeland Security will together be sending hundreds of skilled law enforcement officers to Chicago to help drive down violent crime,” said Trump on Wednesday, before Attorney General William Barr took to the podium to justify his deployment of anti-gang task forces engaged in everything from a ramped-up War on Drugs to counter-protests against Black Lives Matter and related groups. Eddington positions this rhetoric squarely within the “American authoritarian tradition” – running through the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, Lincoln's suspension of Habeas Corpus during the Civil War, Wilson's Espionage Act, FDR's Japanese internment, the HUAC… the list goes on.Most disturbingly, we have seen the past two administrations suspend the Posse Comitatus Act - the 1878 Law preventing government from using soldiers to enforce ordinary law - in progressive increments. First, President Bush's 2002 Homeland Security Act allowed the DHS to deploy federal agents to protect federal buildings. Next, Obama's 2012 authorization of the National Defense Authorization Act redefined U.S. territory as a battlefield and legalized indefinite detainment of American citizens without access to a trial or attorney.We now have DHS officials in military uniform taking American citizens into unmarked vans by without clear probable cause.Leftist mayors and governors who now complain about the use of unconstitutional force against protestors in Portland were silent during the Obama years. Are the chickens coming home to roost? Regardless, libertarians must be vigilant in standing against unconstitutional violations of due process and the separation of powers.

Defund the police? Stephen discusses this popular catchphrase in light of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. If you aren’t already doing so, it’s time to start pondering the big questions facing the American people and lawmakers: should the police be armed and permitted to function as a military force at the local level?

The Posse Comitatus Act was passed in 1878 as the Reconstruction drew to a close and troops were pulled out of the southeastern United States. The idea was to prevent the military from enforcing laws. After all, that’s what law enforcement is for — state and local police forces are the ones deputized to do that work. But what does it mean when the police use military gear and tactics to enforce that law? Ashley Farmer, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice Sciences at Illinois State University breaks it down.

Troops could be deployed stateside to cope with the unrest gripping the nation after a Minneapolis man died in police custody. Military Matters podcast host Rod Rodriguez examines the laws that govern the use of troops in peacekeeping efforts on U.S. soil. What is the Posse Comitatus Act, and what does it allow? What law enforcement roles could federal troops fulfill, and what are the potential dangers? How much authority does the president have to use troops this way?

The Big Lie: The Stench of Mainstream Corporate Media Richard Gale and Gary Null PhD Progressive Radio Network, April 14, 2020   The  liberal media -- New York Times and Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC, The Daily Beast, Alternet, Mother Jones, Daily Kos and others—has in Chris Hedge's words, “betrayed the core values they [liberals] use to define themselves—the rule of law, the safeguarding of civil liberties, the protection of unions, the preservation of social welfare programs, environmental accords, financial regulation, a defiance of unjust war and torture, and the abolition of drone wars.”  On the flip side, the conservative media such Fox, Sinclair and the Christian broadcasting networks, equally forsakes the most basic principles of human decency and compassion. During the early decades of the twentieth century, these ideals and causes would have been a standard platform that defined the progressive agenda from a liberal and humanist perspective. Modern progressivism's roots began with La Follette's Weekly, a publication founded by Senator Robert La Follette in 1909. Still in print,  but known as The Progressive, it remains a leading voice against war, militarism, oligarchic rule, and corporate interests that have hijacked and increasingly control Congress and the White House. When we consider the mainstream media networks and publications -- left and right -- how many have publicly expressed opposition to the escalation of America's wars and regime changes, greenhouse gas emissions, and the lobbying of Big Pharma, the agro-chemical and fossil fuel industries, and Wall Street?  Such corporate media outlets can't be found because in a full blown oligarchy they are the both the government's and its private financiers' partners in laying the foundation for a totalitarian nation. The media is incapable of reporting to Americans the true state of the country's domestic and cultural affairs and the harsh decline back to a developing nation. Both conservative and liberal media have failed to create a believable story that reflects the actual economic and social conditions of average Americans because it has not been able to move beyond the Red-Blue divide. All of our institutions today are bereft of ethical and spiritual substance. The right suffers from pre-rational superstition and anti-intellectualism that has turned the US into a laughing stock among developed countries. The left suffers from a highbrow intellect and a poverty of spirit that was once, and could be again, a moral and revolutionary force to relieve suffering and fight on behalf of peace and human and civil rights. Although most alternative liberal media disagree on particular policies, when election time arrives, all realistic principles are abandoned. Given the ease with which the liberal media betrays its stated ideals, we must call into question the integrity of the entire political establishment altogether and ask whether it is wise to compromise. If you have bought into the mainstream media and support either of the two parties now dominating Washington, then by extension this is what you have been condoning: Across the board the government and corporate America continue to deny the severity of climate change and global warming threats and therefore accept there is no urgency to take drastic measures to curb the rate of greenhouse gas emissions; Failure to cover the actual human and environmental risks of hydrofracking, tar sand oil and pipelines and instead only focusing on the spectacle of Standing Rock protests; Support the construction of new nuclear power reactors, believing in the myth and propaganda of clean coal, condoning indiscriminate hydrofracking in environmentally sensitive areas and allowing these industries to be subsidized by the taxpayer; Has shown to tolerate illegal wiretapping and a systematic surveillance of Americans by government intelligence agencies in allegiance with private cyber-security corporations; By ignoring the government's regressive surveillance efforts it is being complaint with violating privacy laws so that no citizen is protected from monitoring email, mobile phones, the internet, etc, because every citizen in the government's eyes is a potential threat to the country's national security By completely ignoring the end of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by the Obama administration and now expanded upon by Trump, which forbids the US military from being deployed on domestic soil and acting against American citizens, the media is further advancing the military policing of the populace; The media's silence permits the US to transform into a police state as state, county and township police departments are increasingly militarized by the US armed forces and become extensions of the Department of Defense; Rarely does a federal or intelligence whistleblower ever appear on mainstream media. Its negligence in fact supports the silencing and prosecution of whistleblowers in government who come forth publicly to warn about criminal activities and corruption in government agencies; As our civil court system is being transformed into a military court model, it erodes the legal rights of citizens against government tyranny upon which our legal system is based; Ignoring the corruption and funding behind the entire private prison system that relies upon an infinite growth model of inmates, and the criminalization of poverty; Consistently acts against the rights of workers and unions, favoring treaties such as NAFTA, GATT and the forthcoming Trans Pacific and Trans Atlantic partnerships that further sell out American workers in return to greater profits to be overseas for the 1 percent; Gives preferential treatment to the medical insurance industry, which contributes nothing to the prevention and treatment of disease, and is silent about the private medical establishment writing the healthcare laws for the country;   Completely complicit in advancing the pharmaceutical agenda that vaccines are effective and safe and should be mandated nationally; Allowing the private agro-chemical industry headed by Monsanto and Dupont to write the agricultural laws in the country so that genetically modified crops and organisms are wrongfully considered safe for human and animal consumption and carry no risk to the environment; Denying the Federal Reserve's role in demolishing America's middle class and protecting the Wall Street oligarchy's control over the Fed and US Treasury at the public's expense; Judging Wall Street banks more worthy of forgiveness to receive debt relief and assistance from taxpayers than debt forgiveness to Americans who are underwater in their mortgages, credit, student loans and small business debts; Gross failure to independently analyze the adverse effects on the domestic economy and society from trillion dollar bailouts to Wall Street and mega-corporations;   Increasing America's military budget at home and abroad rather than feeding the nation's starving children and dealing with the growing number of homeless who have suffered at the hands of the government's compliance with Wall Street disaster capitalists; Ignoring the need for independent investigations and hearings into the current and past four administrations into the invasions of sovereign countries and covert efforts to fuel regime change; Ignoring the thousands of homicides and suicides committed by American soldiers and veterans who have been abused and forgotten by the US government since the launch of the war against terror and failing to make the association that the fundamental problem is war and the US's imperial ambitions; Failure to criticize despotic regimes that the US supports with dismal human rights records such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Israel's apartheid of Palestine, Brazil, Colombia, India; Launching sanctions against Iran that are responsible for untold suffering of Iranian citizens and children without any international proof that Iran poses either a regional or nuclear threat; From the perspective of universal values and higher spiritual ethics, these are among both Democrats' and Republicans' many faults. Many might perceive these charges as indicators of progress. However, since the captured pundits pretend to align themselves with faux and disingenuous progressive values, the media must be held accountable for its blind ignorance in giving voice to the Deep State and thereby undermining Constitutional rights and personal freedoms. Until Americans summon the courage to stand up and demand an end to the Deep State's corporate and intelligence stranglehold on our institutions of power, we are almost guaranteed to head further towards a complete cultural and economic collapse.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Juan José Gutiérrez, the executive director of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition.Uniformed soldiers are now monitoring migrants in a detention camp in Texas in what may be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, one of the cornerstones of American civil liberties. Active duty troops are only allowed to help domestic law enforcement under limited exceptions to the law, including when they are specifically authorized by an act of Congress or under conditions laid out in the Constitution. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats submitted his resignation yesterday and President Trump tweeted that he would replace Coats with two-term Representative John Ratcliffe of Texas. Ratcliffe is a former US Attorney and has almost no intelligence experience. But what does the position even entail? And how was the relatively new office of the DNI created in the first place? A new report from the New York Times reveals the extent to which Boeing was allowed by the FAA to effectively self-regulate when it came to their MCAS software system, the failure of which caused the crashes of two Boeing 737 Max8 jets, killing 346 people. Brian and John speak with Dr. Alan Diehl, an award-winning aviation psychologist and safety consultant, a major 1990s air safety whistleblower, and the author of the book “Air Safety Investigators.” Doubling down on his reelection strategy of enflaming racist sentiment, President Trump tweeted about Baltimore, Maryland over the weekend, calling the city, “a disgusting rat and rodent-infested mess.” He specifically criticized the district’s congressman, Rep. Elijah Cummings, who has represented Baltimore for 23 years. Trump then went on to say that Baltimore is “far worse and more dangerous than the US-Mexico border and is a very dangerous and filthy place.

The Posse Comitatus Act limits the federal government's ability to use the military to enforce domestic policy within the United States. However, this act has so many allowable exceptions, it has rarely been officially violated. When Trump suggests “The Feds” should police Chicago to get the murder rate down, he might have found the perfect example of a Posse Comitatus Act violation.

Over the last fifteen years, homeland security has become a field unto itself. The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has become the second-largest federal executive department in the number of people it employs, and includes three law enforcement agencies and a military service (the United States Coast Guard). But the heavy responsibility of keeping Americans safe at home extends well beyond the jurisdiction of that department alone. Still at the federal level, the Department of Justice has four law enforcement agencies of its own, the Department of Defense is authorized to support domestic law enforcement and disaster response operations under certain circumstances (consistent with the Posse Comitatus Act), and the Departments of State, Treasury, Interior, Transportation, and Energy all have components that perform some domestic security-related functions. -- Vertical integration has also been a strategic focus. DHS-led intelligence fusion centers, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) led Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF) each include non-federal, that is state, local, or tribal personnel to help accomplish their missions, and surplus military-grade equipment has increasingly proliferated into local law enforcement. Each of these measures is controversial, with some municipalities attempting to limit by legislation their police forces’ participation in JTTFs, and many observers criticizing the increased “militarization” of law enforcement. Further, the rise of so-called “sanctuary cities” also pits some localities against federal immigration laws in ways that may have significance for counterterrorism efforts. -- This first episode in our Security Partnership Teleforum Series explored the limits of federal, state, local, and tribal cooperation. Can and should federal authorities commission local law enforcement to surveil potential threats, and compel compliance with immigration enforcement efforts? How blurred is the line now between “domestic surveillance” for “domestic security” purposes (to which the Fourth Amendment applies) and broader national security concerns that have a foreign intelligence nexus that might be governed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act? Are there limits on how technologies developed for intelligence gathering purposes may be used in law enforcement missions? What limits should there be on the military’s supplying equipment and training to law enforcement agencies? -- Featuring: Governor Tom Ridge, Chairman, Ridge Global, Formerly the First Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Former Governor of Pennsylvania and Moderator: Adam R. Pearlman, Special Advisor, International and National Security Law Practice Group.

In 1878 the Posse Comitatus Act ended the use of the US Military to enforce state laws. Our founders uniformly abhorred any concept of a federal police force since “police power” was vested in the states. However, since the 1980s, the tactics of the local police have come to resemble those of the military. Armored personnel carriers, heavy duty attack weapons, tanks and military hardware are being used for ordinary police tasks such as the enforcement of warrants and simple arrests. The very appearance of our cops is identical to army troops. How did this happen, where is it going and what does it tell us about life in America? No one knows this better than Radley Balko, author of “The Rise of the Warrior Cop.” Radley explains how the mission of our local police has changed from our protectors to our adversaries. This show won't make you happy but it will inform you.

Hydropower and veterans get some love from the House this week, while churches get taxpayer money and Federal workers get screwed… again. H.R. 267: Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act * Fast Tracks licensing for hydro-power generation on existing dams. * Passed with 0 No votes. * Only 3% of the 80,000 dams in the U.S. currently generate electricity H.R. 235: Veteran Emergency Medical Technician Support Act Federal grants will be awarded to States to streamline State requirements and procedures for veterans who were military emergency medical technicians while serving in the Armed Forces to meet certification, licensing, and other requirements applicable to becoming an emergency medical technician in their State. The State must show they have a shortage of emergency medical technicians to be eligible for the money. Funding: $1,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2014 through 2018.'' $5,000 per state, per year. Rural Communities and big cities have shortages of emergency medical personnel; in fact, many of our emergency services are volunteer. H.R. 592: Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act (Tax Money to Churches Act) Re-categorizes houses of worship, regardless of which religion, as public buildings on par with community centers, museums, homeless shelters, etc. in order to allow churches, synagogues, and other religious buildings access to cash grants to repair, restore, or rebuild buildings used for a primarily religious purpose. Problems: Direct government funding of religious buildings is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Supreme Court ruling on State grants for maintaining religious schools: "If the State may not erect buildings in which religious activities are to take place, it may not maintain such buildings or renovate them when they fall into disrepair." Religious buildings are not available for use by the general public. Prayer and worship are not essential government functions. Bill never went through committee process. No amendments were allowed. Religious buildings have access to FEMA money and SBA loans Religions don't pay taxes. Passed the House, with 72 voting No. The 72 were an interesting mix of liberal and Tea Party Congressmen. H.R. 273: Eliminate Promised .5% Pay Increase to Federal Workers Eliminates the pay increase that was promised to Federal workers via an Obama Executive order because they have been given no cost of living adjustment in 2 years. Freezes Congressional pay until December, even though it's already frozen through October because of the fiscal cliff bill. They spent two days on this bill even though the sequester takes effect March 1. JIM MCGOVERN (MA) "The Republicans are going to go on vacation tomorrow. We're not going to be back for a week, and then we'll have 4 legislative days left to deal with this thing called ‘‘sequestration.'' On March 1, all of these across-the-board cuts go into play. And guess what? We're going to lose at least 750,000 jobs. That's not my estimate. That's what the head of OMB says. There will be 750,000 Americans unemployed because of their inaction. Guess what? What are these people going to do? They're going to have to look for employment. They're going to be without work. It's going to slow down our economic growth. Give me a break. There should be some urgency here." Job loss estimates range from 750,000 at the low end and over 2 million at the high end. ROB WOODALL (GA) Here we are at midnight on sequestration day, saying, Hey, let's do it. Folks, let's do it. Let's do it. Back in May, we passed a bill here. Let's do it with the bill we passed in August to solve the fiscal cliff. Let's do it with the one we passed in September. Let's do it with the one we passed in December. What did the House's sequester-solving bills do? Reduced food funding Defunded health insurance exchanges Repealed the part of Wall Street reform that provides for the orderly break up of criminal banks Eliminated the program that lets homeowners renegotiate their mortgage rates Limited medical injury lawsuits Put a $250,000 cap on punitive damages (a cap the jury would be prohibited by law from knowing about) Deleted all defense cuts from the sequester How might the sequester be avoided? Chris Van Hollen of Maryland has a bill that the House leadershiop won't allow a vote on. The Senate: An agreement made that will allow votes on sequester replacement bills - one from D's, one from R's - on Monday or Tuesday, Fed 25 or 26, after their vacation. Department of Defense Excess Weapons Going to States  Max Blumenthal article Defense Property Disposal Service established in 1972. Responsible for disposal and sale of surplus and excess defense equipment and supplies. Half of their extra goodies go to the foreign military sales program. Operates in 16 countries with field offices in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait NDAA 2013 appropriated $250 million per year for equipment ("excess defense articles") in Afghanistan, but there are no caps in 2013 and 2014. Other half of the extra military gear is available to other government agencies. NDAA 2011 (Section 1072) broadened the categories of sate and local organizations that would be eligible for surplus military equipment to include state and local law enforcement, firefighting, homeland security, and EMS. 2011: State police forces were given 700,000 military items worth $500 million. Article from Wired Magazine on military gear that is being transferred to States. Since 9/11 - total grants given to police to buy military equipment have totaled $34 billion Posse Comitatus Act - passed in 1878, limits the powers of the Federal government in using federal military to enforce State laws.

The global war on terrorism has shined a new light on the Posse Comitatus Act which dates back to 1878 and defined the role of the US military in our lives here at home in America. Ringler Radio host, Larry Cohen and co-host, Bill Wright, Settlement Annuity Specialist from Ringler's Atlanta office, explore Posse Comitatus with Attorney Robert L. Shannon, Jr., an expert on the topic and a partner in the Atlanta law firm of Hall, Booth, Smith and Slover, PC. They will define Posse Comiatus, look back at the history, discuss how it pertains to national tragedies like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, the military's role and what Posse Comitatus has to do with the state of affairs in 2008.

Today's show we'll look at the effects the Coronavirus, (COVID-19), has had and will have on our Nation and the Military. We'll debunk the rumors out there about Martial Law and the increased activation of the Army and Air National Guard. We'll also get more in-depth about the "Posse Comitatus Act and how it's current iteration affects Military assistance to the States and communities. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/terry-mills/messageSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/view-from-a-military-mind/exclusive-content
