The only good that can come of this, is that the DemonRAT communists might finally overplay their hand.

The more I look at recent events, the more it appears to me that things have purposely been orchestrated to bring down this nation. From within the government and from without.
I haven't been one to follow conspiracies, but I now feel that the powers that be, the power behind the powers, are purposely tanking the ENTIRE worlds economy, throwing the world into a catastrophe that will make WWII look like look like a party. I think Red October is going to happen on a world scale. The New World Order is about to be foisted upon us all, and I'm not sure there is much that can be done about it or to prepare for it.
1 - this is in combination with being under a National Emergency for 7 years.
2 - we have troops on the ground domestically. That cannot happen without martial law.
Army deploys combat unit in US for possible civil unrest
Bill Van Auken, WSWS
25 September 2008
For the first time ever, the US military is deploying an active duty regular Army combat unit for full-time use inside the United States to deal with emergencies, including potential civil unrest.
Beginning on October 1, the First Brigade Combat Team of the Third Division will be placed under the command of US Army North, the Army’s component of the Pentagon’s Northern Command (NorthCom), which was created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with the stated mission of defending the US “homeland” and aiding federal, state and local authorities.
The unit—known as the “Raiders”—is among the Army’s most “blooded.” It has spent nearly three out of the last five years deployed in Iraq, leading the assault on Baghdad in 2003 and carrying out house-to-house combat in the suppression of resistance in the city of Ramadi. It was the first brigade combat team to be sent to Iraq three times.
While active-duty units previously have been used in temporary assignments, such as the combat-equipped troops deployed in New Orleans, which was effectively placed under martial law in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, this marks the first time that an Army combat unit has been given a dedicated assignment in which US soil constitutes its “battle zone.”
The Pentagon’s official pronouncements have stressed the role of specialized units in a potential response to terrorist attack within the US. Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff, attended a training exercise last week for about 250 members of the unit at Fort Stewart, Georgia. The focus of the exercise, according to the Army’s public affairs office, was how troops “might fly search and rescue missions, extract casualties and decontaminate people following a catastrophic nuclear attack in the nation’s heartland.”
“We are at war with a global extremist network that is not going away,” Casey told the soldiers. “I hope we don’t have to use it, but we need the capability.”
However, the mission assigned to the nearly 4,000 troops of the First Brigade Combat Team does not consist merely of rescuing victims of terrorist attacks. An article that appeared earlier this month in the Army Times (”Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1”), a publication that is widely read within the military, paints a different and far more ominous picture.
“They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control,” the paper reports. It quotes the unit’s commander, Col. Robert Cloutier, as saying that the 1st BCT’s soldiers are being trained in the use of “the first ever nonlethal package the Army has fielded.” The weapons, the paper reported, are “designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.” The equipment includes beanbag bullets, shields and batons and equipment for erecting roadblocks.
It appears that as part of the training for deployment within the US, the soldiers have been ordered to test some of this non-lethal equipment on each other.
“I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered,” Cloutier told the Army Times. He described the effects of the electroshock weapon as “your worst muscle cramp ever—times 10 throughout your whole body.”
The colonel’s remark suggests that, in preparation for their “homefront” duties, rank-and-file troops are also being routinely Tasered. The brutalizing effect and intent of such a macabre training exercise is to inure troops against sympathy for the pain and suffering they may be called upon to inflict on the civilian population using these same “non-lethal” weapons.
According to military officials quoted by the Army Times, the deployment of regular Army troops in the US begun with the First Brigade Combat Team is to become permanent, with different units rotated into the assignment on an annual basis.
In an online interview with reporters earlier this month, NorthCom officers were asked about the implications of the new deployment for the Posse Comitatus Act, the 230-year-old legal statute that bars the use of US military forces for law enforcement purposes within the US itself.
Col. Lou Volger, NorthCom’s chief of future operations, tried to downplay any enforcement role, but added, “We will integrate with law enforcement to understand the situation and make sure we’re aware of any threats.”
Volger acknowledged the obvious, that the Brigade Combat Team is a military force, while attempting to dismiss the likelihood that it would play any military role. It “has forces for security,” he said, “but that’s really—they call them security forces, but that’s really just to establish our own footprint and make sure that we can operate and run our own bases.”
Lt. Col. James Shores, another NorthCom officer, chimed in, “Let’s say even if there was a scenario that developed into a branch of a civil disturbance—even at that point it would take a presidential directive to even get it close to anything that you’re suggesting.”
Whatever is required to trigger such an intervention, clearly Col. Cloutier and his troops are preparing for it with their hands-on training in the use of “non-lethal” means of repression.
The extreme sensitivity of the military brass on this issue notwithstanding, the reality is that the intervention of the military in domestic affairs has grown sharply over the last period under conditions in which its involvement in two colonial-style wars abroad has given it a far more prominent role in American political life.
The Bush administration has worked to tear down any barriers to the use of the military in domestic repression. Thus, in the 2007 Pentagon spending bill it inserted a measure to amend the Posse Comitatus Act to clear the way for the domestic deployment of the military in the event of natural disaster, terrorist attack or “other conditions in which the president determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order.”
The provision granted the president sweeping new powers to impose martial law by declaring a “public emergency” for virtually any reason, allowing him to deploy troops anywhere in the US and to take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of state governors in order to “suppress public disorder.”
The provision was subsequently repealed by Congress as part of the 2008 military appropriations legislation, but the intent remains. Given the sweeping powers claimed by the White House in the name of the “commander in chief” in a global war on terror—powers to suspend habeas corpus, carry out wholesale domestic spying and conduct torture—there is no reason to believe it would respect legal restrictions against the use of military force at home.
It is noteworthy that the deployment of US combat troops “as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters”—in the words of the Army Times—coincides with the eruption of the greatest economic emergency and financial disaster since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Justified as a response to terrorist threats, the real source of the growing preparations for the use of US military force within America’s borders lies not in the events of September 11, 2001 or the danger that they will be repeated. Rather, the domestic mobilization of the armed forces is a response by the US ruling establishment to the growing threat to political stability.
Under conditions of deepening economic crisis, the unprecedented social chasm separating the country’s working people from the obscenely wealthy financial elite becomes unsustainable within the existing political framework.
Tyranny rules in Washington these days .. and if people don’t recognize it .. they need to do some studying.
If you just scare people enough .. you’ll get them to accept anything. This is now being played out. O keeps saying, crisis; catastrophe, etc. These words scare people and now the dems can do anything and the people will cave because of fear. Tyranny is well!
All it will take is a bomb in NYC and LA and the USA will surrender. If people don’t know our enemies are watching and waiting for the right moment .. they haven’t been paying attention for the past 8 years.
And .. if that happens, you can bet martial law will be instituted and O will plan to rule for life (just like the family member he helped overthrow an election) - bet O took notes.
Can you please ping to this thread and give an opinion on post 37.
I do see the wording ‘through legislative day’ but I don’t see a stop date. And there are a few incidents I also have in mind that we would need to be under martial law to occur.
I got to run now; but would love some input.
Ping to #37 from Calpernia.
Thanks for the ping!
Yes, this is the incident. I’m wondering if this event and the Marial Law event are somehow linked?
I have been looking for any information regarding where the 550 billion dollars in electronic transfers on Sept 15th 2008 went, and so far there’s nothing about where it all went.
These democrats are truly frightening. They use the law against us - and shut out the ability of any repubs to find out what they’re up to.
The media complies and doesn’t speak a word about it.
The conservative people of America will never survive if they don’t get wise to how these people operate. We just can no longer play nice.
If people are not willing to put their reputation on the line .. then their reputation is not worth much.
The martial law that worries me the most would only occur if there was a national disaster larger than 9/11. This is not an “if” .. it’s more likely a “when”.
When this happens, in order to keep the public under control - the president can order martial law - restrict travel within the USA - have a nite-time curfew - and shoot people on sight if they dare stick their heads out of their homes.
This is what the Nazi’s did - and I have a close personal friend who lived through the martial law imposed on the Netherlands - and her stories are chilling.
I’ve read a story lately regarding the planned murder of 330,000 Americans with one suitcase full of Anthrax. If or when this kind of thing might happen there would be abject panic in the streets. This attack is supposedly going to take place in Washington D.C. - and I would not wish this on anyone - even dems I don’t like. Whoever manages to survive this - whoever is left from the govt - would have sole authority to do the unthinkable. The thought is just so scary ......
My question is .. if America is usually the rescuer of such rogues as Hitler and Hussain .. who is going to rescue America ..??
As for Pelosi and her over-reaching .. so what else is new.
How do you know the amount and date? I’d like to help you search.
Faith posted this to me - this is where I obtained the date of the incident and the amount.
FYI.
This may have some importance to the States Rights movement, but it is a co-issue not a direct issue.
I’m betting that the 2008 election was manipulated through these events so that people would elect The One. The 2008 election was a scam. Obamasiah is not my president and will destroy America from within.
I absolutely agree. It becomes more apparent every day.
