SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT

I have written before about reviving the concepts and actualities of civil defense battalions.  Always and still I conceive these formations as adjunct/subordinate to local law enforcement organizations.  Police Chiefs and Sheriffs should want and foster volunteer Civil Defense Battalions as second responders, neighborhood humint, emergency response and event perimeteramong other missions — facing their otherwise now impossible peace-keeping/law enforcement mission.

The latest Rent-A-Riot, in Charlotte, NC, viewed alongside its ally, Salafist Caliphism, and its order of battle, compels recognition that (1) an insurrection is afoot inside the USA, and (2) the taxonomy and potentiality of said insurrection far exceed the allowances (ROEs) and even the capacities of law enforcement to contain much less defeat them.  Add recognition of the vast political, morale and financial support for both corridors or vectors of said insurrection — the Socialist Oligarchs and the Salafist Oligarchs — and one can truly say that American families, lands and Constitution are in mortal danger of perishing outright at the hands of a two-faced internal enemy … brought here by Americans-in-Name to displace Americans-in-Fact.

The morons who go out into the streets to lay bombs, set fires, hurl objects and shoot firearms are rioters.  The rioting morons’ hidden roots — their instigators, supporters and protectors, shielded from scrutiny by money and position — are insurrectionists.  Action on the streets should be characterized by its roots, not by its efflorescence.  It may appear as a riot but its reality is prong of a general insurrection.

The premise of civil defense battalions is two-fold: (1) insurrection, especially large, protected, generalized ones such as Americans-in-Fact today face, defeat the allowances (ROEs) and capacities of law enforcement organizations (LEOs), and (2) in face of an insurrection, families and neighborhoods bear considerable responsibility for their own safety and welfare.

Socialists and Salafists would demonize, other, Civil Defense Battalions had they the chance.  They would if they had not the chance.  That is how they roll, always against, always unsatisfied, malcontent, grumpy, agitated, protesting whatever.  However, with Civil Defense Battalions local and attached/subordinate to a local law enforcement organization (LEO), they enjoy a unity with said LEO which Socialists and Salafists cannot break short of precipitating a massacre of Socialists and Salafists (a not entirely unhappy prospect).

An insurrection is a civil war.  Americans-in-Fact today face a civil war, funded and protected by Socialist and Salafist Oligarchs in and out of government, directed against them and their families and most especially against their historic religion: Christianity.  Their envy of Christianity allies Socialist and Salafist Oligarchs (also here), who otherwise are competing hegemons.

His will to defeat the Salafist Jihad proves Vladimir Putin a Christian and no Socialist, no Communist.

With this post I wish to foster Americans’ development of civil defense battalions by conducting a coup d’œil with linkages of thought and practice on the subject through the years here and overseas.  At the end, I have included recent comments of mine to posts by authors, at Power Line and Instapundit, who touch on rationales or missions for civil defense battalions.

TEXAS STATE GUARD. The Congress of the United States, on October 21, 1940, amended the National Defense Act to authorize local ad interim defense units during the absence of the National Guard in federal service. By the end of 1940 173 companies, comprising approximately 500 officers and 6,000 enlisted men, had been unofficially organized in Texas. On February 10, 1941, the Forty-seventh Legislature authorized the Texas Defense Guard. The name was changed to Texas State Guard in May 1943. The state’s emergency appropriation of $65,000 for the guard in 1941 was supplemented by city and county donations, as well as by individual and group contributions. The governor served as commander in chief, while the state adjutant general, appointed by the governor, acted as the administrative head. Fifty battalions were planned and activated to protect public utilities, transportation arteries, and war plants; to maintain law and order; to suppress subversive activities; and to repel invasion if necessary. Battalions consisted of four to six lettered companies with headquarters and service companies and a medical detachment. For the entire state there was a camouflage company and a training and research unit. Total authorized strength was 23,075 officers and men. No pay was provided except for active duty. By regulation, each unit was to be sponsored by a civic or patriotic club. Men aged eighteen to sixty were eligible to enlist in the guard for terms of three years. Later in the war the minimum age was dropped to sixteen years, with parental consent required for the enlistment of minors. Several women’s auxiliaries were organized but not officially enrolled in state service. The Austin auxiliary, composed of employees of the Department of Public Safety, trained in first aid and the operation of motor vehicles, while the Fort Worth and Corpus Christi groups helped their local guard units with paper work.

The guards drilled in schoolyards and on vacant lots with makeshift weapons until July 1941, when the War Department issued them some surplus rifles. The rifles were recalled in May 1942, and shotguns issued shortly afterward. In 1943 the shotguns were replaced with a full issue of Enfield Rifles, and the units were issued trucks, jeeps, half-tracks, and machine guns. The Eighth Service Command held training schools at Camp Bullis in September 1942, July 1943, and July 1944. In 1945 regional mobilization training schools were held. In 1946 regional rifle matches were held in Paris, Corpus Christi, Dallas, and Austin, and a statewide match was held in Austin. Units of the guard held training maneuvers at their own expense and performed several tours of active duty. Guard units were present during a riot at Beaumont, a storm at Houston, a tornado at Livingston, a train wreck in New Braunfels, and in several flood areas. They conducted searches for escaped prisoners of war, escorted a convoy of United States troops across the state to maneuver areas in Louisiana, and worked in the Texas City disaster in April 1947. During its first 6½ years of existence, a total of 94,640 individuals served in the guard. From August 1943 to May 1951 the Texas State Guard Association published The Guardsman, a monthly magazine containing information about state guard and national guard activities, as well as items of general military interest. With the return of the Texas National Guard from federal service, the TSG was disbanded by General Order 21 on August 28, 1947.

The Texas State Guard Reserve Corps, established by legislation approved on May 22, 1947, was activated by order of the adjutant general on January 26, 1948, under the command of Lt. Gen. Claude V. Birkhead. The TSGRC originally had an authorized strength of 18,000 officers and enlisted men; this figure was reduced to 12,700 in December 1950. The TSGRC, headquartered in San Antonio, was organized similarly to a division, with a commanding general, a deputy commander, a chief of staff, and a general and special staffs. The organization was composed of three brigades, each brigade having four regiments. There were, in addition, a total of thirty-six Internal Security battalions, each battalion having four companies. An advisory board, to be composed of ten TSGRC officers appointed by the governor, was established to set policy together with the adjutant general and the commanding general of the Texas National Guard. In the 1950s the Signal Corps of the TSGRC embraced 500 radio stations statewide. These provided valuable communications assistance to civil authorities and the Red Cross in times of natural disaster.

In 1961, during the Berlin Wall crisis, the Forty-ninth Armored Division and other nondivisional units of the Texas National Guard were called into federal service for a year, leaving seventy-one National Guard armories vacant. The oversight of these armories was consigned to 148 officers and 365 enlisted men in the TSGRC, who were called to active duty and formed into seventy-one Texas State Guard Security Units. The guardsmen served in this capacity until August 10, 1962, when they resumed their TSGRC status. In 1965 the Texas legislature abolished the TSGRC and reestablished the Texas State Guard, with Maj. Gen. John L. Thompson, Jr., as commanding general. The new TSG formed part of the State Military Forces, along with the Texas Army National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard (the latter two organizations being known collectively as the Texas National Guard). The minimum age for enlistment in the guard was set at seventeen and the maximum age at sixty. Individuals who reached the age of sixty, or who had served in the guard for twenty-five years, were eligible to be transferred by the governor to the TSG Honorary Reserve.

In 1968, for the first time, the legislature appropriated funds for training TSG units, allocating $11,213. The legislature that year also appropriated $240,933 for the purchase of riot-control equipment, which was made available to the TSG. Members of the TSG at this time were given training in such matters as traffic control, riot control, restoration of order, modern weapons and radioactive fallout, radiological monitoring, disaster shelters, law and order procedures for civil defense emergencies, and rescue skills. On August 14, 1970, the governor officially charged the TSG with the additional mission of assisting state and local civil defense and disaster relief officials on a voluntary basis. In addition to those members of the TSG who may be called to active duty in times of natural disaster and other emergencies, many other members of the guard frequently volunteer their assistance in relief and rescue operations. From 1965 to 1970 the headquarters of the guard was structured like that of a tactical combat unit. In 1970 the adjutant general restructured headquarters, vesting administration of the TSG in a director of the Texas State Guard. In 1992 this official, a full-time state employee, was assisted by two paid staff members. All other officials and officers, including the commanding general of the guard and the directors of personnel, operations and training, intelligence, and logistics, served in a voluntary capacity, unless called to active duty by the governor. In January 1992 the TSG had 1,528 members and an authorized strength of 3,136. Col. Thomas E. Williams was director of the guard, and Marlin Mote was commanding general. In 1994 John Bailey, a decorated Vietnam veteran, became the first African-American to serve as commanding general.

Wikipedia Article On Civil Defense

The frequency, extent and stated justifications for these events make them planned, organized acts of insurrection in the technical Constitutional sense.  Parallel to Salafists (e,g., Minnesota Men), these (BLM, etc.) are insurrectionists.  LEOs cannot handle these parallel insurrections’ magnitudes.  Civil Defense Battalions are required adjunct to municipal and county LEOs.  They have numerous missions.

 

It’s not over yet and Obama is not conceding an inch to the reality that has failed to conform to the prescribed script.

So true of so many.

And because it’s organized remotely as well as locally, it’s more than a riot.  It’s an insurrection, a conspired insurrection, and against the Constitution and the Church.  By whom?  By a Socialist-Salafist network of monied, pedigreed, positioned, platformed, privileged louts, of whom anyone here can name ten at least with no effort.

They comprise an insurrection against the USA and pretty much every other country.  An insurrection against reality, indeed, but see how many morons they can stir up to punch it for them.  Despite their quiet sanctimony, their only love, after money and sex, is control through chaos.

Their taxonomy and potentiality far exceed the capacities of law enforcement.  And driving over their morons does not touch them, does not defeat them, does not protect Constitutional or human freedom.  Law Enforcement requires multi-mission Civil Defense Battalions backup adjunct and subordinate to local LEOs.  A LEO riot line is a LEO loss of tactical control.

The Constitution encourages peaceful protest.  Why did lawyers permit riot and insurrection as First Amendment exercise?  Does the Constitution deny itself?  Are lawyers really this weak?

 

Steven Litvintchouk: One of the attorneys writing for Legal Insurrection has exegete the ground rules on this.  This comment of yours does not come close to the reality in discussion.

These are not protests we are seeing.  They are not merely riots.  They are not merely anarchy.  They are insurrection executed by white and black morons but planned, organized, supported and protected by Socialists, here and abroad, possessing vast wealth and very exalted positions.

And a parallel insurrection is occurring, executed by a different array of frustrated morons but planned, organized, supported and protected by Salafists, here and abroad, possessing vast wealth and very exalted positions.

That makes two insurrections against Americans and their Constitution and country occurring right now and indefinitely, as best one can tell, if they are not terminated.  And the ROEs for addressing an insurrection are a tad more, shall we say, direct than your dissembling admits. By the way, did you graduate at Columbia?

 

This side of that there is the traditional response — not the only one necessary but one that is — of civil defense battalions — missions variable, but many possible — adjunct or subordinate to a county or municipal law enforcement organization.  Takes time to stand up, of course, but necessary now because LEOs cannot handle the magnitude of the double insurrection (Socialist and Salafist) that has descended upon American land, families and Constitution.

And except on the USA southern perimeter facing cartels, USA Armed Forces would be neither welcome nor comfortable in combatant roles on USA soil. Americans, themselves, have to solve their own problems, protect themselves, locally, and that means, among other things, through LEO-aligned civil defense battalions.

On my blog I have been examining the morphology of this response (civil defense battalions) for two years, currently collecting a miscellany, by linkage, of relevant concepts and practice from USA and overseas.
