US Army Captain Letter: DHS Prepping for War on Americans, Must Be Disarmed.(
AP).
The following is United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow's (retired) full
letter to his Texas Senator John Cornyn regarding the Department of Homeland
Security's arms race, especially since they have no authority to wage war on
Americans or anyone else. Hestilow, who posted the letter on Facebook, says DHS
must surrender their weapons immediately to the Department of
Defense.
The letter begins below:
"Re: Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and that agencies preparation for war against citizens of the
United States of America.Dear Senator Cornyn,
It is with
gravest concern that I write to you today concerning the recent appropriation of
weapons by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can only be understood
as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama administration, against
the citizens of the United States of America. To date, DHS has been unwilling to
provide to you, the elected representatives of the People, justification for
recent purchases of almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) armored
personnel carriers, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (with associated weapons),
and other weapons systems, when, in fact, the DHS has no war mission or war
making authority within the limits of the United States of America.Significant is the fact that at the same time the Obama
administration is arming his DHS for war within the limits of the United States
against the People of the United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign
speech claiming,“
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in
order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve gotta
(sic) have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as
strong, just as well funded [as the United States military]”-- Candidate Barack
Obama, 2008.
The Obama administration is deliberately defunding,
overextending, and hollowing the Department of Defense; the only legitimate
agency of the U.S. government with a war mission.
This act of the Obama
administration stands as a glaring threat of war against our nation’s citizens!
This act of the Obama administration can only be understood as a tyrannical
threat against the Constitution of the United States of America! If left
unresolved, the peace loving citizens who have sworn to defend the United States
Constitution “against all enemies, both foreign and domestic” are left no option
except to prepare to defend themselves, and the U.S. Constitution, against this
Administration’s “coup” against the People and the foundations of liberty fought
for and defended for the past 238 years. We have no choice if we honor our
oaths.
The only proper response to this threat against the American people is for
the representatives of the People, the members of the U.S. House and Senate, to
demand in clear terms that the Administration cannot ignore, that the Department
of Homeland Security immediately surrender their newly appropriated weapons of
war to the Department of Defense (DoD).
Further, since the DHS has assumed a
position in the Administration to enforce the tyrannical acts of this president
against the People of the United States against the limits of the United States
Constitution, it remains for the United States Congress to exercise its limiting
power in the balancing of powers established by our founding fathers, to
disestablish and dissolve the DHS as soon as possible.
One needs only to look to
the rise of Adolf Hitler, and his associated DHS organizations, the SA and the
SS, of 1932-1934, to see the outcome of allowing an agency of government this
kind of control over the free citizens of a nation. The people of Germany could
not have imagined, until it was too late, the danger of allowing a tyrant this
kind of power. We must not be so naïve as to think it will not happen to us as
well if we remain passive toward this power grab by the Marxist Obama
administration!
Finally, for more than two centuries the nation has lived
in peace at home because of the protections of our legitimate military and the
many appropriate state and federal law enforcement agencies, supported by
Constitutional courts. We stand today at a cross-road. Will we allow this
present Administration to overthrow our United States Constitution and its legal
processes to amend injustices, or, will we honor our obligations to defend the
Constitution against a “domestic” enemy?
Our Constitution lays out the proper
methods of resolving our differences; and it does not include its overthrow by a
rogue agency of a Marxist leadership at home. You, sir, are our constitutionally
elected agent to defend our Constitution at home. We are counting upon you. We
remain aware, however, of this present threat and will not expose ourselves as
an easy prey to the authors of the destruction of our nation.
I know that
this letter demands much of you. We elected you because we, the citizens of the
State of Texas, believe that you are up to the task at hand and will, against
all threats, honor your oath and office. We are also writing to your fellow
members of the House and Senate to stand in integrity with the Constitution and
against this present threat by the Obama administration and his DHS.
We
refuse to surrender our Constitution or our nation!
Resolved,
Captain Terry M. Hestilow
United States Army,
Retired
Fort Worth, Texas
