As the Biden-Harris Administration nears the end of its first term, Americans are facing an unsettling reality: the federal government is quietly expanding its power in ways that threaten the very freedoms upon which this country was founded. On September 27, 2024, the Department of Defense issued Directive 5240.01, a document that, on its face, appears to be an administrative update. However, buried within its provisions are dangerous expansions of federal authority that threaten to undermine the Constitution, particularly the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. More than just an innocuous policy adjustment, this directive could transform the military and intelligence agencies into tools for domestic surveillance and control, raising serious questions about the true intentions of the Biden-Harris administration.
