Police officer’s alert: NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) is insidious

Ohio Peace Officer Drafts NDAA Letter For Police And Sheriffs

oathkeepers.org


Below is a letter composed by one of our peace officers in Ohio. This  letter was written to raise awareness of the ominous problems in the  National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.  Because Jim Singleton is a  State chapter officer for Ohio Oath Keepers and is Ohio's Peace Officer  Liaison, this letter will be circulated within LE communities around  Ohio. I am placing this letter on our national website as a guide and/or  template for all Peace Officer members in Oath Keepers in all State  chapters.  All are encouraged to write their own letters and mail to all  Peace Officer offices in respective States. Oath Keepers is mobilizing  on various fronts in response to the travesty called NDAA-2012. Oath  Keepers salutes current-serving Peace Officer Jim Singleton, our Ohio  chapter Secretary.

Greetings and Salutations,

 

It's unfortunate that I have to write this letter, however in light  of  current events it is inevitable. Just days ago the United States   Congress passed the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) this in itself was necessary. However in this bill was an insidious piece of   verbiage that for all intents and purposes destroys the foundation of   everything we believe in and took an oath to uphold. To me the   possibility of those citizens and others under my protection being   spirited off in the middle of the night by agents of the military, then   being summarily incarcerated without access to judge or jury are   insufferable and intolerable acts.

 

It will be argued that this only applies to foreign persons or others   suspected of terrorism, but there are far too many avenues available  to  apply this to any group to which any administration may take umbrage   with. When growing up and especially during our training in the  academy  we are instructed that the constitutional rights of all must be  upheld  at all times, as well as the respect for all people we come in  contact  with or represent. This section of the NDAA attempts to remove  those  rights which are enumerated and given to us by our creator, and  places  them in the hands of the office of the President of the United  States to  be disregarded at his whim.

 

And in those few words lies a conundrum, do we as police officers,   sheriffs, deputies and others who have taken the oath to uphold and   defend the constitution, now turn our back on that very oath?  Do we now   turn against the very same people that entrusted us with a most sacred   duty to serve and protect them? If in fact we follow a rule of law  such  as this bill enacts, it would mean that the oath that we all took  meant  nothing. We are obliged to follow all lawful orders given to us,  but we  cannot do this blindly. History has seen the result of these  acts and  has judged them accordingly. I can only ask all of you to take  a moment  to reflect upon all that we are taught and hold dear, the  people we  serve deserve and demand our highest respect for it is  through them and  they alone that we were given this oath. Do we simply  turn a blind eye  for the sake of political expediency and lose our  respect? Is a few  pieces of silver so dear that we would sell our honor  for it? How will  we explain to our friends and loved ones why members  of our community  were spirited away or how will they see us when they  realize (that when  their time comes) we won't be there for them?

 

I believe that if and when those orders come, I cannot in good faith and   in strict observance to my oath, allow myself to be a part of them. I   would hope that members of our military in accordance to the articles  of  the UCMJ, would also refuse them as well. When that time comes I  will  do exactly as I have sworn to do, I will serve and protect those  under  my care, so help me God.

 

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me.       Isaiah 6:8

 

Respectfully Submitted

James B. Singleton

Are you prepared for the coming collapse? How do you plan to feed your family? When your dollar is worthless, and the government has confiscated your gold, how will you buy food?

I found a way to prepare for it now, I get my freeze dried survival foods with a 20 year shelf life at:

    You don’t have to buy a years worth at a time, you can build your reserves incrementally with auto-ship so you don’t have to make a big expenditure up front.

    Warn your friends so they can be prepared too, tell them about GoFoods !
