I could also see foreign troops on US soil after a disputed presidential election where the loser after the court battles does not concede and an incumbent administration backs the loser. It also is pretty far out there but considering the events of November and December 2000 it may not be that far out there.

That possibility was considered by several senior US military officers during the last election, as was the possibility that the sitting president might declare the election results null and void by executive fiat before a final court decision was announced. Accordingly, appriopriate precautions were taken.

Thank God it didn't come to that.

I am aware of some of the precautions taken. Most people do not realize how close we did come. I am also aware of some of the flat out warnings delivered to some politicians as I heard them moaning about them and still hear them cussing out some Generals and admirals by name.

The real fools are the idiots who bury their heads in the sand while repeating,

"It can't happen here! It can't happen here! We're different! We're special! We're unique in history! It CAN'T happen here!"

It can happen, which is why millions of us will retain our firearms, or fight to retain them, in accordance with the wishes of the founding fathers.

I will never be led like a lamb to the slaughter, because in a moment of foolish naive hope I allowed myself to be disarmed by a seemingly well-meaning government turned tyrant.

The constitution shredding commissars in waiting had better understand: cross that Rubicon and they will be in the crosshairs, personally.

That's why I wrote the book, as a clear warning.

Thanks for the post. Where can I read about what precautions were taken by whom?

Is there anything in the public domain?

We talking TSCI?

Thanks in advance,
