I came across a statement that claims, “Biden/Harris have just pushed through DoD Directive 5240.01 giving the Pentagon power — for the first time in history — to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies.” This sounds incredibly alarming and reminiscent of the dystopian government tactics depicted in V for Vendetta.
I always thought the CIA was already involved in actions against Americans, with or without permission. So, is there any truth to this claim about the Pentagon’s new authority? What does DoD Directive 5240.01 actually say, and does it really grant such power? I’d appreciate any insights or clarifications on this topic!
They’ve always had that power, regardless of it being official or not. Because who’s going to hold them accountable? – Basically nobody. Same reason I don’t stir the Israel/Russia pot too badly - because once you get enough attention, you end up committing suicide with 2 shots to the back of the head.
Guys with guns always hace this privilege.
Although i doubt regular army guy would turn on domestic population.
They always use special forces and swat types who don’t give a fuck.
It seems they are more willing to do it. Although during blm pretests when they called that elite airborne unit to defend bunker pussy. Apparently those guys didnt take it well.
When your alphabet soup boys we pining to beat the protesters.
