If you look at the title of DODD 5240.01 it is for SECTION 3: DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT ASSISTANCE TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER CIVIL AUTHORITIES. This directive does NOT cover the entire US military, only those who are assisting law enforcement with intelligence gathering.
who are included when it says DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE COMPONENT
The Defense Intelligence Component includes several key agencies and elements within the Department of Defense (DoD)
. These are: Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
. National Security Agency (NSA)
. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)
. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
. Intelligence elements of the five DoD services: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force
At the bottom of section 3.2 (a) c it says: Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support.
On DODD 5210.56 section 3.4 (e) it outlines the steps that are taken for the use of deadly force.
Yes it can still be used against American citizens, but I think they realize they screwed the pooch by letting in these gangs or former military and prisoners, and all of the terrorists. I think the government is planning on using the military to gather intelligence on drug cartels in the US and these forces will be shot at, now they can use deadly force. I don't think this will be used as much for assisting state level and below, its mostly for the feds. I do also believe the feds will start to use SOCOM to help gather intelligence in the US.
Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
