The Best Political Thriller Base Book – JD Ludwig’s “Overreach Blood of Patriots”

Some Readers Shared with me that Overreach: Blood of Patriots is Really Scary because it’s so Plausible

One of my readers, Bill, an Air Force Veteran, shared a portion of Title 10 US Code that allows the president to use executive authority to suppress an insurrection, armed or otherwise.

It allows the president with the stroke of a pen to raise forces from any state or direct our own military to suppress an insurrection in another state.

Pay close attention to #333 below, especially the quote “any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection”

10 US Code

§331. Federal Aid for State Governments

Whenever there is an insurrections in any State against its government, the President may, upon the request of its legislature or of its governor if the legislature cannot be convened, call into Federal service such of the militia of the other States, in the number requested by that State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to suppress the insurrection.

§332. Use of Militia and Armed Forces to Enforce Federal Authority

Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

§333. Interference with State and Federal law

The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—

(1) So hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or

Immunity, or to give that protection; or

(2) Opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.

§334. Proclamation to Disperse

Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.

So, this is pretty scary, yes? With a pen and a phone, peaceful protesters could be declared insurgents, by ignoring an order to disperse, the newly declared insurgents could then be subject to arrest, confinement or worse.

Remember to vote in 2014 regardless of party affiliation, voting is not only a right, it’s your responsibility.

Would you please consider leaving a review on Amazon? Reviews are critical at this stage of marketing; any consideration will be greatly appreciated.

One reader wrote, “JD Ludwig has written one of those old-fashioned, good guy verses bad guy stories that make you just want to stand up for something important. It’s a literary cross between Seven Days in May and Atlas Shrugged, a novel that some will call “reactionary”, some will call “fanatical”, and some will call “patriotic.” I call it, “a damn good story”. It’s full of humor, and details about how the US military and the US Government works. It is full of fun, interesting, inspiring and despicable characters. It is full of… well, life and honor, and standing up for what matters. Okay, I’ll sit down now, but read the book! Before a drone visits your neighborhood…”
