I came across a statement that claims, “Biden/Harris have just pushed through DoD Directive 5240.01 giving the Pentagon power — for the first time in history — to use lethal force to kill Americans on U.S. soil who protest government policies.” This sounds incredibly alarming and reminiscent of the dystopian government tactics depicted in V for Vendetta.

I always thought the CIA was already involved in actions against Americans, with or without permission. So, is there any truth to this claim about the Pentagon’s new authority? What does DoD Directive 5240.01 actually say, and does it really grant such power? I’d appreciate any insights or clarifications on this topic!

    This is called lying. Politicians do this - usually when their mouths are open - to get elected and stay in power so they can make lots of money and influence, all while standing on your neck. And not having to ever so much as chip a fingernail.
