[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_01]: U.S. military now is authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil. That can't be possible.
[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_01]: This would open up the door for the careless use and more frequent and legal. It'll be legal now,
[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: so nobody will have to worry about that. Send in the troops. We need you to shoot a couple of
[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_01]: these people. They're opposing our policies. They're demonstrating against COVID rules or
[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: something they'll come up with. So I think it's very, very dangerous.
[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So here it is. Now, Zero Hedge picked it up from Armageddon Pros, which is a substack which they
[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_00]: often run. It says, U.S. military now authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil? Just ahead,
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: intriguingly, of November elections. And that was my second thought. The military has granted itself
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: permission to unleash lethal force on the civilian population. Again, I thought this has got to be
[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_00]: an exaggeration. So I went and looked and actually go to the next one because this explains what it is.
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, it's not a law. It's a DOD directive. So this is, you know, the whole the administrative
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_00]: state where they take over. They don't pass laws. They are laws unto themselves. Go to the next one
[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00]: if you can because this is what they're talking about. And I went and I read this secondly. And it
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: it governs the Department of Defense intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: lethal force in certain circumstances. And it supplants the 2016 version, which did not mention
[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_00]: that. So I read all of this too, which is someone else's analysis. I said, okay, this sounds even more
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_00]: troubling. I want to go look at the document itself. And so go to the next one. I actually went and looked
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_00]: at the DOD directive. It's DOD directive 5240.01. Now go to the next one. I'm just going to get to
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: this really quick so I can just show people this is on their own website. Now this is section three
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: of that directive assistance to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities. Now go to the
[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: next one. Now this is levels of authority. This is section 3.3 defense intelligence components may
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_00]: provide personnel to assist a federal department or agency, including a federal law enforcement agency
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_00]: or a state or local law enforcement agency when lives are in danger in response to such a request
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: for such assistance in accordance with the following approval authorities. Now here are the authorities.
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry to get so far into the woods here, but go to the next one. Responding with assets with
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: potential for lethality and I underline this, I highlighted it or any situation where it is
[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_00]: reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_00]: likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. I'm sorry to bog the discussion
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: down with that Dr. Ball, but I really wanted to hone in on this is their actual document. It's not just
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_00]: the case for someone's analysis. But what
