What is the 10-33 program
• 1033 Program Overview: The National defense
Authorization Act authorizes the Secretary of Defense to
transfer excess Department of Defense (DoD) personal
property to Federal, state and local Law Enforcement
Agencies (LEA) with special emphasis given to counter
drug and counter terrorism. The 1033 Program
(formerly the 1208 Program) allows LEAs to receive
DoD excess property. If you qualify and choose to
participate, your organization will become one of over
13,000 local LEAs who have taken advantage of this
unique program.

Posse Comitatus Historical Perspective
• Posse Comitatus [Latin, Power of the county.] Referred at
Common Law to all males over the age of fifteen on whom a
sheriff could call for assistance in preventing any type of civil
disorder.
• In 1878 the use of a posse comitatus was limited by the
passage of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. This act, passed
in response to the use of federal troops to enforce
reconstruction policies in the southern states, prohibited the
use of the U.S. Army to enforce laws unless the Constitution or
an act of Congress explicitly authorized such use.
• This act was amended five times in the 1980s, largely to allow
for the use of military resources to “allegedly” combat
trafficking in illicit narcotics.

Defying Posse Comitatus
• Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances
expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of
Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the
Air Force as a Posse Comitatus or otherwise to
execute the laws shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
• -Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1385

“The Rule of Law….”
“The restriction of the arbitrary exercise of
power by subordinating it to well-defined
and established laws.”
-Google-

Rule of Law according to the
World Justice Project
• The government and its officials and agents as well as individuals and
private entities are accountable under the law.
• The laws are clear, publicized, stable, and just; are applied evenly; and
protect fundamental rights, including the security of persons and
property.
• The process by which the laws are enacted, administered, and enforced is
accessible, fair, and efficient.
• Justice is delivered timely by competent, ethical, and independent
representatives and neutrals who are of sufficient number, have adequate
resources, and reflect the makeup of the communities they serve.

What does this destroy
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:
• Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
~The Free Dictionary~

Are the Police acting like a Cult
Cult: A misplaced or excessive
admiration for a particular
person or thing.

Misuse of biblical law
Romans 13 King James Version (KJV)
• 13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
• 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of
God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
• 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou
then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt
have praise of the same:
• 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that
which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is
the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth
evil.
“Hitler’s Favorite Bible Verse”

Collaborating with Clergy
• “... a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and
other religious representatives to become secret police
enforcers who teach their congregations to ‘obey the
government’ in preparation for a declaration of martial
law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation... The
Pastor [whistleblower] was told that over 1,300 counties were
already on board... Pastors [at the meeting the whistleblower
attended] were asked to make a pledge or an affirmation
during the meeting to fulfill the roles ascribed to them by
FEMA. They were given assurances that they would be
covered by full compensation in the event of resisters injuring
them during property seizures and round-ups.”

The Sheep Herders
• Arlington Clergy and Police Partnership (ACAPP) is a coalition of Clergy from every faith
and denomination who partner with our police agency.
• Goals of this program include: praying for the city, city leaders, police officers and special
needs; assisting the police in non-traditional roles; providing calm in crisis situations to
prevent an escalation to violence.
• It is the goal of the Arlington Police Department that after you complete this program, you
will have enough information to dispel any suspicions and misconceptions about the law
enforcement role in our criminal justice system.

Works in Action
The number of SWAT teams in municipalities with
populations between 25,000 and 50,000 “increased by more
than 300 percent between 1984 and 1995,” and that 75% of
all of these towns had their own SWAT teams by the year
2000. ~Cato Institute Analyst Radley Balko~

SWAT defined
• VERB-hit or crush (something, especially an insect) with
a sharp blow from a flat object.
• NOUN-a sharp slap or blow
• LAPD-p.109 on SWAT :"The purpose of SWAT is to
provide protection, support, security, firepower, and
rescue to police operations in high personal risk situations
where specialized tactics are necessary to minimize
casualties."

History of SWAT
• 1960’s Los Angeles (4) 15 men team of volunteers with
specialized training and prior military service.
• "station defense teams," provided security for police
facilities during civil unrest.
• The term "SWAT" was used as an acronym for the
"Special Weapons and Tactics" Squad established by the
Philadelphia Police Department in 1964.
• In 1971, the SWAT personnel were assigned on a full-
time basis to Metropolitan Division (LAPD)

The Truth
• Police departments have become para-military
institutions.
• The militarized police are the creators of the
Dark New World Order!
• The powers that control consider you as there
DOGS…
