In communist Poland, the state had an organization called �Zmotoryzowane Odwody Milicji Obywatelskiej (ZOMO. ZOMO translates to the Motorized Reserves of the Citizens Militia. They were a paramilitary riot police force and were used to quell unrest within the country. The government did not trust the armed forces to crush the Solidarity movement within the country and relied on the ZOMO�s to accomplish the task. As history shows, they failed and the Communist government was overthrown in December, 1989.
The picture on the left (A. Luczak, Wesolych Swiat zyczy Komuna, Aug. 7, 2005, and Central Eastern Eurpean Online Library.) is a humorous lampoon of a ZOMO that was distributed in Poland during the time of martial law. The printing on the photo says �The communists wish you a merry Christmas�. A group of amateur photographers in Poznan made the picture into a postcard. It was then copied and distributed throughout the country. Their secret service acquired the photograph and launched an investigation to determine its origin. Several people were arrested and charged with crimes against the State. The charges were eventually dropped, as it could not be proved that any of the arrested was guilty of the crime. The photo is reminiscent of the Black Panthers intimidating voters in the U.S.
So what does this have to do with Obama�s national security force? The ZOMO�s were a civilian paramilitary force. Obama is proposing (July 2, 2008) that "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded (emphasis mine)." He will have a difficult time finding the funding for such a large project if he intends to make the civilian forces as large as the military. We already fund part of his somewhat subdued paramilitary groups such as Acorn and SEIU but he still needs more money to carry out his plan. How does he anticipate getting such money without going to Congress and asking for it? The answer of course is to do it covertly.
The health care bill HR 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became law on March 23, 2010. Its sponsor was the ethically challenged Democrat, Charley Rangel. Paraphrasing Pelosi, this is the law that we�ll find out what�s in it once we pass it. Nobody in Congress seemed to read it. The following section was included in the health care bill.
SEC. 5210. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.
Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS.
(a) Establishment-
(1) IN GENERAL- There shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency.
(2) REQUIREMENT- All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended.
Article (2) is interesting. What this means is that Obama can pay his corps whatever he wishes. He does not need to comply with civil-service pay scales. That�s what the communist Polish government did to attract ZOMO members.
(3) APPOINTMENT- Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall be appointed by the President and commissioned officers of the Regular Corps shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The President appoints the officers to the Ready Reserve Corps, whereas the Regular Corps is appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate. This gives the President the power to appoint a Reserve Corp member to any rank he wishes.
(4) ACTIVE DUTY- Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall at all times be subject to call to active duty by the Surgeon General, including active duty for the purpose of training.
(5) WARRANT OFFICERS- Warrant officers may be appointed to the Service for the purpose of providing support to the health and delivery systems maintained by the Service and any warrant officer appointed to the Service shall be considered for purposes of this Act and title 37, United States Code, to be a commissioned officer within the Commissioned Corps of the Service.
(b) Assimilating Reserve Corp Officers Into the Regular Corps
Effective on the date of enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all individuals classified as officers in the Reserve Corps under this section (as such section existed on the day before the date of enactment of such Act) and serving on active duty shall be deemed to be commissioned officers of the Regular Corps.
This section gives rise to the possibility that any Presidential appointee to the Reserve can be made to be of higher rank than a Senate appointee to the Regular Corp � effectively controlling any Senate appointee and abrogating Sec.203(a)(3).
(c) Purpose and Use of Ready Reserve
(1) PURPOSE- The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service's reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.
There is no definition of what is an emergency response mission. I guess this means that the President (possibly through his Surgeon General) defines an emergency. This is potentially dangerous.
(2) USES- The Ready Reserve Corps shall
(A) participate in routine training to meet the general and specific needs of the Commissioned Corps;
(B) be available and ready for involuntary calls to active duty during national emergencies and public health crises, similar to the uniformed service reserve personnel;
This clause is particularly dangerous as there seems to be a distinction between �national emergencies� and �public health crises� � particularly when the Bill compares the Ready Reserve to the �uniformed service reserve personnel� (Military?). Does this mean that an emergency is something other than a health emergency?
(C) be available for backfilling critical positions left vacant during deployment of active duty Commissioned Corps members, as well as for deployment to respond to public health emergencies, both foreign and domestic; and
It appears that we taxpayers will be paying for �health emergencies� in countries other than in the United States.
(D) be available for service assignment in isolated, hardship, and medically underserved communities (as defined in section 799B) to improve access to health services.
(d) Funding- For the purpose of carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the Commissioned Corps under this section, there are authorized to be appropriated $5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014 for recruitment and training and $12,500,000 for each of fiscal years 2010 through 2014 for the Ready Reserve Corps.
Health Care bill HR 3590 not only gives us socialized medicine but also funds and creates Obama�s private army secretly.
On the surface this bill appears to pertain only to the Public Health Services Commissioned Corps but as Judge Napolitano explained (see video below)
It appears that there is more to this health bill than meets the eye.
The Conservative Examiner states "Before the ObamaCare bill was signed into law, many, including this writer, downplayed the significance of this portion of the legislation, believing that it only pertains to recruiting and deploying an adequate number of physicians during a healthcare emergency.
With Judge Napolitano's analysis of the provision, now that the bill is the law of the land, new concerns about the 'private army' appear to be justified." Link

Who were the ZOMOs? Time magazine summarized the organization rather succinctly:
ZOMO members are often country dwellers, generally poor and with only six to eight years of education. Some are convicted felons. Says a Polish exile: "If someone has a criminal background, the authorities might say, 'Okay, we'll forget that little blemish if you give us a year in the ZOMO.
The selection process is said to favor brawny youths who in some fashion feel alienated from society. ZOMO members are generally kept apart from the people they are being trained to subdue. They live in their own barracks outside major Polish cities and enjoy special privileges, including generous salaries and ready access to consumer goods.� Link

Right on! He'll get his private army eventually.
ReplyDeleteObamaCare will be repealed (thank god), but in this case you are so hopelessly wrong. The 'Ready Reserve Corps' mentioned in the legislation refers to the PHS - Public Health Service... a well established medical branch of the uniformed services...not some evil private army. This section merely deals with calling PHS members to active duty, etc. It says nothing about militias or armies or ZOMO. Read it first before making wild claims.

ReplyDeletePlease listen to the video. You might find that judge Napolitano has a different opinion.
