Why Did Biden-Harris Regime Give Itself “Legal Right” To Assassinate Americans on U.S. Soil?

Timing is everything.  So why did the Joe Biden & Kamala Harris regime just give itself apparent “legal right” to conduct assassinations of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil!?!  If timing is everything… are they simply telegraphing their “end-game” for the United States?

I hate “conspiracy theories”.  The problem is…

1. The phrase “conspiracy theory” was a CIA device to discredit truth seekers.
2. But lately, almost all of them are turning out to be TRUE!

So here’s the deal.  I’m telling you right now, it is hard to find anyone talking about this, but it did happen.  This is true.  You can see the documents yourself.  And the fact that (at the time of this writing) ZERO mainstream media has picked up on this story… is worrying.  The first I heard about this was from Natalie Winters on the War Room podcast (I’ll put the full-screen video below the post for easier watching):

If you’ll remember, the question of assassinating American citizens on U.S. soil became an issue during the wild west days of Obama’s drone assassination program.  The initial DoD Directive was actually created under G.W. Bush, but Obama took those powers to new levels (as Conservatives warned would happen from the beginning).  Here’s what the ACLU put out about their case against the Obama administration at the time:

The Obama administration today argued before a federal court that it should have unreviewable authority to kill Americans the executive branch has unilaterally determined to pose a threat. Government lawyers made that claim in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) charging that the administration’s asserted targeted killing authority violates the Constitution and international law. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia heard arguments from both sides today.

“Not only does the administration claim to have sweeping power to target and kill U.S. citizens anywhere in the world, but it makes the extraordinary claim that the court has no role in reviewing that power or the legal standards that apply,” said CCR Staff Attorney Pardiss Kebriaei, who presented arguments in the case. “The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected the government’s claim to an unchecked system of global detention, and the district court should similarly reject the administration’s claim here to an unchecked system of global targeted killing.”

Of course, Obama ultimately got away with maintaining the “right” to target Americans on American soil — completely independent of any court system — and the language on the DoD Directive would remain that way… until President Trump changed it.  You can see below the 2007 date under Obama, versus the 2020 date under President Trump.

The changes that President Trump made had to do specifically with altering the legality of targeting U.S. citizens for assassination in covert operations.  But as of 10 days ago, new language took effect.  And just like that… assassinating Americans on American soil covertly, without oversight, is on the menu again.

Here is a snapshot of the revised DoD Directive which once again, thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, includes targeted assassinations of Americans on American soil.

As I researched, I stumbled on another news outfit that had picked up on the story as well.  KlipNews on X.com posted the following, which includes a really good breakdown of some of the language changes that Natalie Winters mentioned in the video earlier:

Exclusive: "No DoD civilian employee or member of the Armed Forces will engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination."

Here’s the full text of that post:

Exclusive: “No DoD civilian employee or member of the Armed Forces will engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.”

Prohibition contained in new incredibly complex Pentagon regulation of domestic work that provides “assistance to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities,” obtained by KlipNews.

The new directive hints at “covert” and “sensitive activities” conducted, and restricts the nature of “tradecraft” and undercover activities.

And here are the quotes from Klip News pulled directly from the DoD Directive:

“Provision of personnel to support response efforts for civil disturbances, which may also require Presidential authorization.”

The rules do not apply with regard to “protection of the President, Vice President, and other designated dignitaries.”

“covert activities” can take place “when such actions have been approved by the President and directed by the Secretary of Defense.”

“The legal office responsible for advising a DoD Component will seek counsel from the Office of the GC DoD for any novel, contested, or significant questions of law or matters of first impression related to this issuance.”

“the sponsorship of a Defense Intelligence Component must be concealed to protect the activities of the Defense Intelligence Component concerned.”

“Defense Intelligence Components may enter into contracts or arrangements for the provision of goods and services with commercial organizations, non-academic institutions, private institutions, or private individuals within the United States without revealing the sponsorship of the Defense Intelligence Component” under certain conditions.

“Questionable intelligence activities and significant or highly sensitive matters must be reported…”

“Special emphasis will be given to the protection of the constitutional rights and privacy of U.S. persons.”

“… personnel are prohibited from collecting, retaining, or disseminating U.S. persons’ information …” except under other classified authorities.

One of the biggest changes was the removal of the following statement, “Under no circumstances shall any DoD Component or DoD employee engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.”  That language was part of President Trump’s updated version, which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris apparently just trashed.

ASSASSIN@TION: Last month the Biden-Harris regime updated the 2007 DoD Directive 5240.01 removing the prohibition, "Under no circumstances shall any DoD Component or DoD employee engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassin@tion.” Under the regime’s new rules the government can… pic.twitter.com/lO0XwPCWjP

Natalie Winters picked up on that crucial swap as well, from the 2020 revisions by President Trump compared to the 2024 update that just took effect:

The Pentagon just revised domestic work guidelines, including on assassinat*ons.

2020: “Under no circumstances shall any DoD Component or DoD employee engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassinat*on.”

Here are both the 2007 and updated 2024 versions of the DoD Directive, for anyone who would like to compare for yourself.

• 2007 DoD Directive
• 2024 DoD Directive

Headline USA, one of the only other news outlets that has picked up on the story so far, is reporting that the language seems to have been changed in a way which consistently makes the issue more vague:

The Defense Department appears to have removed language asserting that “under no circumstances shall any” component or employee of the federal body “engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.”

This clear language appeared in the August 2007 version of the directive, which relates to the implementation of former President Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12333, originally signed in 1981.

On Sept. 27, 2024, the Defense Department established more vague language, stating that no department “civilian employee or member of the Armed Forces will engage in, or conspire to engage in assassination.”

The “under no circumstances” clause is notably missing, prompting many on social media to sound the alarm about the intent behind the change.

Headline USA also included the following towards the end of it’s report, which I find extremely ominous considering THE TIMING of these changes:

Headline USA reached out to the DoD for comment outside of business hours but did not receive a response by the 1:45 a.m. ET deadline.

This story will be updated once, and if, the federal agency provides a response.

Why do I feel completely certain that the DoD will not be commenting on this further?  Is THAT the simple answer as to why NO MAINSTREAM NEWS is carrying this story?  Or, as I suspect, have they been ordered not to carry it?

Whoops — there I go wandering off into “Conspiracy Theory” land, again.  Sorry, but it seems as if that’s the territory you’re going to have to cover if you actually want to get to the bottom of what the Federal Government is up to these days.  So be it.

This is a developing story.  I hope to have more information to bring you: comments from the Pentagon, comments from the White House, etc.  But honestly, I wouldn’t hold my breath.  It doesn’t seem as though they are too keen on talking about this, at the moment.
