“Civil Unrest” means government riot and looting of the tax payers being is being planned.
Perception, folks, perception, it’s all their word game.
Military stands ready if needed at RNC, other conventions
The 1968 Democratic convention was indeed riotous, but nobody took over the Army installation. More than four decades later, the idea that the military would be called in to help police a political convention seems drastic.
That doesn’t mean plans aren’t still in place, though.
Over the past 44 years, Operation Garden Plot has evolved and been superseded by U.S. Northern Command plans created specifically for major public events — including the 2012 political conventions in Tampa and Charlotte.
“During the Democratic/Republican National Conventions, Department of Defense personnel will support the U.S. Secret Service,” a Northern Command spokesman said in an email.
“For operational security reasons we do not discuss the numbers of military personnel and resources that are involved,” U.S. Navy Lt. Cdr. William G. Lewis said. “Additionally, we do not share our operational plans.”
The secretary of Defense would have to approve any request for military assistance, Lewis said.
“...The RNC itself, for example, will have free speech zones...”
WTF?????
I don’t think that there is anything to be concerned about in planning for contingencies.
I’m more worried about how many unhappy people there are going to be when they are weaned off the government teat in the next four years. And no, I don’t mean people who actually worked for it and deserve it.
I’m sorry the whole concept of free speech zones is total orwellian bullsh1t. I don’t care who employs them.
Free speech is free speech. If they are disruptive fight them back, crack some heads, haul people away for disruption and disturbing the peace. Plenty of nuisance codes and crap that can be used already. Not this Big Brother free speech in your little caged area bullcrap.
This is what they do to conservatives in NYC and San Fran during their pervert parades.
They should just give everyone back what they’ve had confiscated from them for SS and tell them here’s what we took from you, you’re on your own and end it. If they’ve already burned through what they paid in, they’re done.
That’s kind of our superiors to let us talk out loud...
DHS...Who was it who created this anti citizen agency?
It shows we’re nearing the end when there are FEDERAL PROTECTIVE AGENTS to protect the government from the governed.
If Obama loses, I wouldn’t want to be near any “urban” area. Hopefully nothing will happen, but I sure wouldn’t bet on it.
Why would this sort of info make its way to the public in the first place? Psy-ops?
Unless DHS keeps watch on the ghetto, they’re just spinning their wheels.
I don't see that happening.
I don’t think 150-will be enough after election day. They may need some army.
Free speech for thee, but not for me?
Got it. Amerika is f******.
I reviewed the solicitation and the thing that sticks out is it is an urgent request in “support” of the convention is late august. We have been doing this for about 200 years, why is this all of a sudden “urgent”. We have known about these conventions for years. Giving companies time to submit proposals is to ensure that the selection can be across ALL who offer the products commercially for best product/price, not just those that have high paid lobbyists so this was rigged for someone in the know.
The secdef is a hack and will approve anything BO tells him to.
Suiting up 150 guys in gear doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.
If it were 15,000 then I’d be on heightened alert.
150 sets doesn’t sound like anything.
