Special Forces Commander: 'Constabulary Force' Coming

The surge of bullet-buying confirmed by the federal government – purchase estimates run into the billions of bullets – even as the U.S. military scrimps to find training ammo is raising lots of questions about the government’s so-far unexplained actions.

But a video that has been around since last year is being forwarded across the Internet as an explanation.

The six minutes recorded by Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, retired, warns that America is well along the pathway that other societies have used to bludgeon and beat their populations into submission to socialism. Even to the point of establishing a “constabulary force” to control the people.

Maybe those bullets do have a destination.

Boykin now is executive vice president of Family Research Council. But during his military career, he was one of the original members of the U.S. Army’s Delta Force. He ultimately commanded those elite warriors in combat operations. Later, Boykin commanded all the Army’s Green Berets as well as the Special Warfare Center and School.

In all, Lt. Gen. Boykin spent 36 years in the army, serving his last four years as the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.

On the video, Boykin explains simply that he knows the standard process for creating a socialist or Marxist state because he studied it as a military officer.

His concern is that the six steps “done in every Marxist insurgency” now “are being done in America today.” He lists them: 1. nationalize major sections of the economy (the corporate bailouts), 2. redistribute wealth (the man appointed to head Medicare said health care is “nothing but a redistribution of wealth”), 3. discredit opposition (Boykin said he’s “never been so angry” as when the Obama administration called returning vets, pro-lifers and others a terror threat), 4. censorship (since old guard media already was in line, Obama’s censorship has been through “hate crimes” legislation aimed at Christian pastors and others), 5. gun control (see Washington’s present agenda), and 6. a constabulary force.

That would be “a force that can control the population,” Boykin warned.

To those who say that isn’t present in the U.S., he responds, “Let me remind you that prior to the election (in 2008) the president stood up and said if elected he would want a national civilian security force as large as and well-funded as the military.”

WND reported on Obama’s demands at the time for a “civilian national security force.”

What he actually said was:

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Nigel Farage - Major European Bank Runs Now Taking Place

Today Nigel Farage told King World News that what they have done in Cyprus has now sparked major banks runs in Europe. Farage, who is Britain’s popular MEP (Member of the European Parliment) also stated, “Even people like me who have spent many long years warning that things are out of control are really, really scared by the events of the past few days.” Below is what Farage had to say in this extraordinary and exclusive interview:

“I must say the thing I find the shabbiest about it is there insisting that it doesn’t need to be subjected to a vote in the Cypriot Parliament. I very much hope that the members of the Cypriot Parliament say, ‘To heck with that, we demand another vote.’

It’s funny isn’t it, the Germans are going to have a vote on it in their Parliament, but the Cypriots are being told that they shouldn’t have a vote on it. If that’s not moving into a German dominated Europe, I don’t know what is.

I said last week that I felt any savers who had money in other eurozone banks, particularly in the Southern eurozone countries, really ought to think seriously about getting their money out. Well, this afternoon something far more serious has happened. The Dutch Finance Minister, about an hour and a half ago, said that he saw the Cyprus eurozone bailout as now being a template of how they intend to act in the future. So the burden of all of this will now fall on the private sector, and not on the public sector.

Frankly, what that now says is that anybody that has money, or anybody that has big money sitting in a Spanish or an Italian bank, and particularly if you happen to be a financial officer for a company, it would be criminally negligent of you to now leave your money or a company’s money in a Spanish or an Italian bank.

I think what they’ve done today is to spark a major run on those banks. I see that some of the banks stocks have fallen 6% this afternoon, and I think in their desperation to keep the eurozone propped-up, I really believe that long-term they have made an absolutely fatal error. They have now crossed the bounds into one of complete criminality, and from this their reputations will never, ever recover.”

“What I see is a Western political class that has effectively bankrupted countries, firstly by spending far more than we’re earning in order to pander to electorates. And nobody has had an honest conversation with those people about what a mess countries are in.

And secondly, I see all of that compounded many times more seriously by the sheer stupidity and lunacy of the eurozone project. But now there is the total refusal to accept that the best way forward would simply be to break the whole thing up.

Western civilization hinges on democracy and the rule of law, and what we are seeing is democracy being smashed and the rule of law of law being treated with contempt. Even people like me who have spent many long years warning that things are out of control are really, really scared by the events of the past few days.”

“The sooner the whole eurozone breaks up and collapses the better off we will all be. Clearly, any sense of an orderly retreat from the eurozone is now going to be very difficult to achieve. But the alternative to that is the rise of violence and extremism across the south of Europe. It’s not pretty whichever way it goes, but as I said, the sooner it breaks up the better.

The game that is going on now is so big it is really difficult to foretell what’s going to happen. But I do fear that if the Cypriot banks have suffered the way they have, mostly of course because of their holdings of Greek debt and the haircuts they had to take, I really think the concern now will move toward the Spanish banking sector.

We need to remember that Spain is a very big country. To bail out Spain appeared to me to be something that was just too big. I have said before on King World News that it would mean massive amounts of IMF and American money. The scale of a Spanish bailout would be a staggering 500 billion to 700 billion euros, but now they have shown they are prepared to steal private money. I just do not know where we go from here, but it’s very, very difficult to see things getting better.”
