This is not good. Here comes the Greater Depression. Stock up on your supplies ASAP.

Getting ready for the election?

[hsalaw]

Posse comitatus. Or is this because of the expected riots when the Obambi loses in a landslide?

I think this is in fear of an election result that certain segments of society cannot deal with.

Of course, I question the authenticity of this. Is this really going to happen, or is it more reporting to make America seem racist?

[Havok]

I think this is more because the US economy is about to take a big dump and we are all going to be covered in it.
Bread lines, no jobs, riots, people killing each other for anything....

WTF?

Democracy Now is to the left of the Communist Party. Take with shovelfuls of Sodium Chloride.

Army plans to station an active unit inside the United States for the first time

I dont even know what the hell this means. You mean to tell me there are no "active units" stationed in the US. what are the entire armed forces called that aren't deployed overseas?

Uh, would you consider the source: Democracy Now? If we have a Brigade Combat Team being resourced to Northern Command it's because there is the expectation of an Al Qaeda operation. Best, Chris

I do not see this story on the linked page.

[Kenton]

I think I’d need to hear this from a more reputable source than those neo-commies at DN.

“You mean to tell me there are no “active units” stationed in the US. what are the entire armed forces called that aren’t deployed overseas? “

Read the article again. Slowly.

Three nights ago there were arrests by the FBI in Western Broward County.

A non-descript but reasonably wealthy family was picked up who were engaged in money laundering for a noted Middle Eastern terrorist organization.

The Brigade Combat Team is being kept home for good reasons, most of which have nothing to do with bread riots.

Best,

Chris

Don’t let the Infantry fool you folks, 3ID is an Heavy Armored Division.

In case you didn’t know.

[papertyger]

real source is The Army Times...to which I REALLY say WTF?

Looks like these sons-of-bitches are getting ready to tatter my Constitution so the markets can operate status quo until the last possible second!

[Daus]

The brigade will not change its name, but the force will be known for the next year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF (pronounced “sea-smurf”).

Worst name ever....
