  All right, so if we go down to 3. 4e in this document, it talks about the use of deadly force. And it's essentially what you would expect. If there's an imminent danger, or if he or she is not for a moment pointing a weapon at a person, for example. So even if you're not pointing a weapon at them, he or she has a weapon within reach, or is running for cover carrying a weapon,  they can shoot you. 

Civilians. So if you're, I don't know,  open carrying,  and they think that you pose any type of threat, they can just shoot you.  Civilians, the military,  during civil unrest, right?  DoD recognizes and respects paramount value of all human life if less than valuable or less than deadly force can be reasonably expected to accomplish the same result without reasonably increasing the danger to armed DoD personnel. 

Deadly force is justified when there is a reasonable belief  that the person,  the subject of such force, poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm to a person Or under the circumstances described in the 3. 4e. So essentially what it's saying is  any and all circumstances, if you have a weapon, if you're open carrying, which you have the right to do,  or even if you're concealed carrying and somehow they know that you're holding that weapon or have that weapon in the vicinity of you, they could shoot you if they think that you pose any type of threat,  you know, the laws that were designed to  be weaponized against our enemies. 

is now being weaponized against us. So if we go to the document that I'm talking about now, right? So we have those two DoD directives. We understand that. But this is also something I want to point and draw your attention to is, and this is the last thing of this document, then we'll move to the actual National Terrorist Advisory document,  which is the USD and I and S approval.

So it says, so this is how they actually get the soldiers. This is the approval process. Um,  if the requested personnel exceeds 20 people,  then you have to But if it's less than 20 armed military soldiers authorized to use deadly force, you don't.  You don't.  Within the United States of America.  Or, if the duration of the requested  assistance exceeds 30 days, so you don't even need approval.

If you get 20 soldiers for 29 days,  You don't even need a DOD approval. You don't need to have the Secretary of Defense  approve the request. You can just go right around them. Go to the military. They'll send you 20 soldiers for 29 days. And then you can request it again for another 29 days that are authorized to use lethal force on civilians. 

Now let's see who they're concerned about, because that's what the DECCS document talks about, or Concerned about, but who, who they're going to start to say poses a risk, right? Now, this document isn't just about that. This talks about foreign foreign enemies as well, and some election interference from Russia and China and what these people are trying to, this isn't just about American citizens, but a large portion of it is  a large portion of it is. 

All right,  let me go ahead and switch this here. So you guys can watch  what I'm looking at.  Not that.  All right. So  here we go. Here's your document.  Now, if you're on YouTube, you can follow along and actually look at this with us.  Uh, let's make that a little bit bigger for you.  Okay,  here we go. 

Here is the document office of intelligence  and analysis,  Homeland threat assessment, Homeland security 2025. All right. So here is your table of contents talks about the border talks. There's the executive summary.  Um, but let's go down and look  at some of the stuff that I have outlined here. Um, now if you want this document, I'll send it to you.

Uh, head over to my Instagram, I'll be posting some videos of this.  And there'll be a keyword that you can comment that I'll send you both of these.  You can also just look up the name of the document on Google and find it yourself, but yeah.  Alright, so it says public safety and security. Alright, this is page one. 

It says over the next year, domestic and foreign violent extremists, the harmful effects of illegal drugs in adversarial states, seek to exacerbate our divisions, as well as silence criticism for diaspora communities, will pose a threat to public safety and security on the homeland. Specifically, we expect the threat of, threat environment in the United States over the next year will remain high due to a confluence of factors.

These factors include violent extremist responses to domestic, socio political developments, and the 2024 election cycle.  Concurrently, adversarial states are Intent on sowing distrust in our institutions, as well as confusion and division in our communities through their maligned influence campaigns, with some actors seeking to boost these efforts during the 2024 election cycle. 

These state actors will violate our rule of law and undermine freedom of speech in their efforts to suppress dissidents living in the United States.  So what, what it's, What the conversation is that they're having there is like, Oh, it's these violent extremists. It's these foreign adversaries. It's these terrorists out there.

And over here,  terrorists that are sowing dis sowing, uh, distrust in our institutions. No.  No, you know, what's sowing distrust in our institutions, the lying  that's happened over the last four years, you know, what's sowing distrust in our institutions, the continued corruption, and the continued crossover between corporatism and politics, you know, you know, what's sowing distrust in our system, how almost every single one of the high level people in our our government right now are going to find themselves a high level executive position at the organizations that funded them, whether they're foreign or international.

Or domestic to use their terms,  right? They're going to, their son's going to be on the Chinese energy board or Ukrainian oil board. Oh yeah. Look at Biden and Pelosi and all of these, these individuals who are powerful, powerful people in our government who have their children on the boards of foreign companies that are state run companies. 

By our adversaries. Maybe that's what's destroying this, this, this sowing distrust in the institutions. Maybe it's your lack of response to the  terrible situations that it happened in Lahaina or in North Carolina or in Florida.  Maybe it's your lack of care surrounding the inflation that's happening.

Maybe it's one of those things. Maybe that's what's sowing distrust is that you're distrustful.  Not the fact that foreign and domestic violent extremists have thoughts on political ideologies.  So  there's that summary. Let's move on.  Um, so it says that, uh, and actually we should probably go to the bottom here because what, one thing that I found to be unique in this d
