A
news report has been quietly making its way around the alternative
media, under the radar screen, concerning a Delaware legal decision to
strip county sheriffs of their arrest powers in the state.
The
mainstream media has not reported the story, but the son of Vice
President Joe Biden, who serves as Attorney General for the state of
Delaware, has issued a mandate to county commissioners informing them that sheriffs in the state's three counties no longer have arrest powers.
When
the information reached this reporter late yesterday evening, further
investigation revealed that there is a nationwide effort to strip local
sheriffs of most of their enumerated powers that are mandated in the
state constitutions of the various states. Such a move would have the
net effect of abolishing local sheriffs departments and strengthening
the power of federal law enforcement agencies.
And this is not the first time such an effort has been launched.
In the 1970s an
initiative was launched by county supervisors in California to
eliminate the office of sheriff, but one supervisor instead was able to
persuade two state legislators to get a question placed on the
California ballot as to whether or not the office of the sheriff should
be an elected office. The measure passed overwhelmingly, and the mandate
for elected sheriffs was placed in the state constitution.
And
in 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt was set to eliminate all of the
48 states in order to implement nine regional governments that would
operate as extensions of the federal government. All local law
enforcement would be eliminated. The plan failed, but the fact that it
was attempted points to an ever present, insidious stealth plan on the
part of some within the federal government to take away the right of the
people and the states to elect their own local law enforcement and to
vastly strengthen the hand of the numerous federal law enforcement
agencies that currently operate throughout America.
Proponents
of such unconstitutional measures desire to forge a world government of
sorts under the control of the United Nations. Various methods are used
to expedite this plan, including the infamous 'Agenda 21' that has raised the alarm among some citizens.
The
key to the success of the implementation of such plans is enforcement.
How would the federal government insure compliance among the states and
their citizens?
Dozens
of federal agencies have their own law enforcement divisions, and those
divisions are growing quickly under the Obama Administration. Homeland Security is purchasing 450 million rounds of hollow point bullets. The IRS will need roughly 16,500 new employees to implement ObamaCare. The White House has just sent $500 million to the IRS to enforce the new healthcare law. The EPA's recent penchant for using heavy handed tactics outside
the authority given to it by Congress has placed businesses under the
gun and stymied economic recovery. Citizens complain that the agency
regularly violates private property rights.
And
then there are such agencies as the FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE, and others that
are under suspicion for widespread corruption in the Fast and Furious
scandal, a fact that has not hampered Congressional Democrats from
calling for massive new funding and expanded powers for these agencies.
The
move to weaken and dismantle sheriffs offices around the country is
viewed by Constitutional watchdogs as an ominous signal in a broader
attempt to usurp the rights of citizens on the local level in lieu of an
expanded nationalized police force under the control of a federal
bureaucracy.
Notice! My latest entry in what is turning into a regular, ongoing series of musings after midnight at my blog, The Liberty Sphere, is
now posted. I present more in depth personal reflections delineating
the acute danger America faces at this hour. It is a dire warning to the
serious reader who loves freedom and the principles handed down to us
by the Framers. Don't miss it.
