Hat tip PJ Media and Squid
As if this border mess wasn't bad enough, we have some government contracted security firm from the Baptist Church, be jeezus, walking around with badges and threatening to arrest people. They call themselves Brown Shirts. Wonderful. Just this week I cross-posted a piece by Fox News' Todd Starnes about these guys who were threatening civilian workers at these holding centers for the Central Americans coming across our border with arrest if they spoke out about the health problems and conditions at the camps. In addition, they also prevented a congressman from Oklahoma from entering a holding center in Oklahoma to talk to the immigrants. The below article in PJ media tells us who these guys are.

I should note that one of Adolf Hitler's first acts upon becoming chancellor in 1933 was to assign his SA troops (Brown Shirts) as auxiliary police officers. Of course that resulted in the arrests and beatings of Hitler's political opponents the same year, (Communists and Social Democrats).
So now we have a bunch of jokers rom the Baptist Church hired by that storied law enforcement agency, the Dept of Health and Human Services, until recently under the rule of J. Edgar Sibelius, calling themselves Brown Shirts and intimidating people. My question is just what law enforcement training and statutory power do they have that bestows arrest powers upon them? I can understand security powers, but if they received information that one of the health workers was talking to the press, how would they proceed? Do they go to the person's house and arrest them? Do they take the information to the US Attorney's Office and a federal grand jury for an indictment? Do they apply for a wiretap to listen in on the person's phone conversations? Do they apply for a search warrant?
Meanwhile the Border Patrol union reports that 70% of its border personnel have been reassigned to changing diapers and other social services for the new arrivals.
Thanks, President Obama.
Hey, George W. Bush said the solution to social problems was to cut taxes and work with faith based groups.
ReplyDeleteSomething is fishy about this... I can believe that certain brands of Baptists would act this way... but most of them are so right-wing they would have nothing to do with the Obama administration... (even the Southern Baptist Convention wouldn't come close to being stupid enough to call themselves "brown shirts"... although I do remember in the 90s when the social-democratic "left" was fond of advocating "collaboration." I'm old enough to remember the unsavory reputation of that word... as are most real leftists, whose tradition was to execute collaborators...
...and this report is a blogger quoting a blogger quoting a blogger... which doesn't add up to credibility.
Siarlys must be thrilled beyond all expectations. After all our liberties will be taken next. I guess he is hoping for a new job in the concentration camps Obama will be opening. That is the next logical step.
ReplyDeleteAnd the alternative is to let these people all move freely around inside the United States, right? I thought y'all wanted to get control of our borders. What part of "control" don't you understand?
ReplyDeleteFindalis, when they come for you, I'll be right there. Not holding my breath waiting for it though.
