Domestic Militarization Comes to San Bernardino County
Big Bear Observation Post
December 14, 2008
The Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Provost Marshal (head of a unit of military police) and the local California Highway Patrol office will begin working together 12/12 — and through the holiday season — in a joint effort to reduce accidents and drinking and driving. The combined mutual cooperation between the Marine Corps Military Police and State enforcement officers will begin somewhere along Highway 62. The CHP will set up DUI roadblocks with the presence of Military Police. A violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
Gary Daigneault discussed the ramifications of this joint effort today on his 107.7 F.M. Talk Back show. Mr. Daigneault and his callers seemed to be very concerned. On its face, one may think this is a good idea. But it’s not. I agree with Mr. Daigneault and his callers. Most of which seemed to think this is a very bad idea. Mr. Daigneault contacted a Constitutional Law expert, and the attorney informed him this is absolutely unconstitutional. It’s NOT permitted under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, 8 U.S.C. § 1385. It’s my understanding that the Constitutional Law expert said CHP officers could be arrested out there working with the Military Police because it’s a “felony.”
Democracy depends upon abiding by the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, I challenge anyone to go out there and put a citizens arrest of the CHP officers, then call 9-1-1 and have a sheriff come out and take charge of your prisoner. Just kidding, of course, but a very brazen citizen legally could attempt to such a thing. But don’t even think about it.
Many of his callers vocalized that this joint effort or mutual cooperation between the military and the CHP is going to be very intimidating. They (as I) are very concerned the CHP is going through with this action. It’s not really clear what the specific role of the Military Police will be… To assist; to observe; to train; to make a strong military presence; to take charge of military offenders detained by the CHP? Nonetheless, whatever, it’s unconstitutional; it’s a felony. I contacted the Morongo CHP office.* The dispatcher said the program will be in effect tonight. When I asked here were it was going to be, she said call back tonight after 7:00 P.M. But I politely protested, these DUI check stops are public. She said I have to speak with CHP Public Affairs officer after seven.* A call to the CHP Public Affairs Officer’s number* after seven got a recorded message to call from 9-5 during business hours. Query: why wasn’t I told that?
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
By the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, 20 Stat. 152, 18 U.S.C. § 1385, it was provided that “it shall NOT (emphasis added) be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress… .” The effect of this prohibition, however, was largely nullified by a ruling of the Attorney General “that by Revised Statutes 5298 and 5300 [10 U.S.C. §§ 332, 334] the military forces, under the direction of the President, could be used to assist a marshal. 16 Ops. Atty. Gen. 162.” B. RICH, THE PRESIDENTS AND CIVIL DISORDER 196 n.21 (1941).
Okay, as far as I know the President has not given direction to the local CHP to deploy the USMC on public roads in order to setup a military presence during routine DUI check stops in the Basin. It’s not allowed. Whoever came up with plan in the CHP in my opinion is abusing their powers. Where is the public necessity or authority to do this? There is none — unless the Commander in Chief made the call. It’s also my opinion, the CHP has made a very bad choice in their joint venture with the Marine Corps. Though I have intrinsic belief that the CHP has the very best of intentions, however, good intentions does not override the U.S. Constitution.
I know the Marine Corps has the best of intentions too. But the best of intentions is not cause to trump the Constitution.
Late this afternoon, I spoke with the Provost Marshal office, Corporal Knuesn. He indicated this may happen. I then spoke with the MCAGCC Public Affairs Chief, Gunny Sgt. Chris Cox.** He was very cooperative and informative about the mutual efforts of the Military Police and the CHP: “They will be working closely over the month to cut down of traffic accidents,” he said, “the Military Police will observe DUI check points and watch for their own guys. The intent is to have Military Presence out there.”
Gunny Cox explains that Hwy. 62 is one of the most dangerous highways out here. No doubt it is.
The Public Affairs Chief also explained, “they will not participate [assist the CHP] because they are not concerned [lack of jurisdiction] with California law.” I must say, Gunny Sgt. Cox is one extremely nice guy. And his good intentions — to save his guys from injuries or worse — was certainly manifested. May good fortune be with this Marine.
It’s little encroachments like this that undermine the Constitution. Then one day you wake up, and it gone. [See Franklin quote, infra-]. I can see numerous scenarios during those DUI check stops. To name a few: The Military Police go to the aid of the CHP to take down a civilian bad guy. A drunken teen. Unruly tweakers. Will the Military Police be armed? Do they have any sort orders of engagements?
* ** The bottom line: I urge anyone and everyone who believes in the Constitution, United States Codes, and Posse Comitatus — to do something! What can you do? To begin with, I suggest you contact the local Joshua Tree CHP Public Affairs Officer, Officer McLoud, at: 760. 366.3707 and voice your concern. Further, you can contact the MCAGCC Public Affairs Chief on the base at: 760.830.5476 or 760. 830.6213. Moreover, contact the Provost Marshal office at: 760.830.4215.
Voice your concerns. That’s just a start. Contact state officials and legislatures. Write letters to the editor.
Thank you, Branson Hunter

It is clear that you feel rather strongly about your perspective about Timothy McVeigh. I respect that.
I've got this personal 'Christian' principle, not necessarily shared by other Christians, nor necessarily 'Christian'; which has been said in eloquence speak with forked tongue variety (and I say so, because the individuals were not willing to back up their words with actions, they were only words, without meaning) as 'innocent until proven guilty'; and the more down to the salt of the earth variety, of "I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against." (Malcolm X).
To get to my point: Innocence until proven guilty, either means what it means, or it doesn't. A court with a judge that refuses evidence for the jury of the accused's innocence; has not practiced 'innocence until proven guilty', but has practiced what is commonly referred to as kangaroo court justice. Those who refuse to speak out against kangaroo court justice, are not practicing 'innocent until proven guilty' justice; are they?
This was my perspective on the trial of Timothy McVeigh. My Christian response thereto; was to (i) refuse to support Tim being executed in my name; and (ii) to write President Bush a letter asking him to Pardon Tim, pending whether the Oklahoma 'victim's and the 'American people' were willing to suspend their belief about Tim's guilt, and their desire for blood sacrifice and vengeance; and hear his side of the story; and he theirs; with a commitment to Radical Honesty (www.radicalhonesty.com) forgiveness. Should no such forgiveness occur, and the American people found Tim to be guilty, and required his execution; then considering they had the opportunity to hear his story, and the opportunity to forgive him, but chose not to; and demanded his execution; as a measure of my 'walk my talk' commitment to my request to President Bush; I was (and still am) willing to give my life, to be executed alongside McVeigh; as a measure of my belief, that any American jury that found Timothy McVeigh guilty -- having heard all the evidence on his behalf -- would find me guilty too; and accordingly, I should receive the same punishment.
In light thereof, I wrote a seperate article, explaining my confession, and my perspective; "I was, and still am, a co-conspirator in the Oklahoma City Bombing" by Lara Braveheart (www.thomas-j-mcveigh.co.nr); as an Open Letter to the American media, and US Goverment Officials. One media publication published the article, the New Abolition Society; and one CA State legislator gave me his opinion: He was furious and emailed me demanding that I never email such shit to him again.
To conclude, I don't know if you are one of those people who believe everything the mainstream media tell you, without any further enquiry. I can tell you this: Timothy McVeigh was not executed; his execution was faked. This information was confirmed for me, face-to-face, by Tim's US Army Special Forces Commanding Officer; John Doe # 3, of the Oklahoma City Bombing; with approval from his Commanding Officer at the Pentagon; and by US. Secret Service Officer, Mr. Steve West; in the Office of Governor Gray Davis; among others.
Understandably, the mainstream media, having reported Tim as having been executed, are not too enthusiastic, to inform the American people that their reporting was either inacurrate, due to negligence of failure to further investigate, or straight out lies.
Anyway, you probably prefer your perspective; and if you are like many people; you are not willing to change your perspective given new information, which requires you to re-evaluate your prior perspective, or at the very least make further enquiries. For many people their perspective is their identity on certain issues, and accordingly their ego/identity feels threatened by new information, which may provide them the opportunity to reevaluate their prior perspectives. I don't know if you are like that or not.
Should you however wish to enquire into the information herewith provided to you; I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Respectfully
Lara Johnstone
PS: Do you know the Golden Mean Fibonnaci synchronicity of 18 June? Do you know what Tim's cryptological messages were, wit his Invictus Statement, his tubs of icecream, his 'last rights', etc? or do you simply take them at face value, for what you think they mean, not for what he may have meant? How would you know what he meant, if you didn't bother to attempt to understand him?
