Shortly after taking office in 1992, Pres. Clinton issued an Executive Order known as Presidential Decision Directive-25 [PDD-25]. allowing an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 18USC Sec.1385, PL86-70, Sec. 17[d]. which makes it illegal for military and law enforcement to exercise jointly.

The directive allows an exception for Joint Special Operations Command and it's subordinates.

Although the directive was focused on possible use internationally in peacekeeping and drug interdiction efforts, a loose interpretation can enable a military takeover of your city - using "all the latest tools".

Danny Schechter of mediachannel.org asks whether this year's inaugural protests will be covered. 4 years ago, they were very thoroughly covered by the media everywhere but in the US. And this year, the Forces of Doom believe they have a mandate for further oppression. Danny's interview with FBI special agent James W. Rice doesn't auger well for the those who prize the Bill of Rights.

a DOGSPOT investigative series: part one

I have personally witnessed the human effects of the technologies to be explained and exposed in this DOGSPOT exclusive series. If ignorance is death, then knowledge is essential to our life and liberty.

Technologies now routinely used by federal agents are so far outside of our normal expectations that witnesses report their encounters as alien visitations, if they have enough clarity of mind to report them at all. These technologies have been trickled down to the local level, and threaten the civil liberties of all Americans.
