I know someone who purchased this from RAND.
By page 19 this report goes from discussing the need for a Special Police Force overseas to supplement interventions, to suddenly needing a force that can circumvent Posse Comitatus.
Posse Comitatus exists for a reason and any attempt to circumvent it, not matter how nicely packaged, is a step on the way to "Special" police becoming "Secret" police.
They call it :A STABILITY POLICE FORCE: This study asks several questions. First, is a Stability Police Force (SPF) necessary? An SPF is a high-end police force that engages in a range of tasks such as crowd and riot control, special weapons and tactics (SWAT), and investigations of organized criminal groups. In its ability to operate in stability operations, it is similar to such European forces as the Italian Carabinieri and French Gendarmerie. Its focus on highend tasks makes it fundamentally different from UN or other civilian police, who deal with more routine law and order functions. It is also different from most military forces, which are generally not trained and experienced to conduct policing tasks in a civilian environment. Second, if an SPF is necessary, what should it look like? This includes considering such issues as: its objectives, tasks, and size; its speed of deployment; its institutional capabilities; where it should be headquartered in the U.S. government and how it should be staffed (standing force, reserve force, and hybrid force); and its cost.
Yes, it would START on their terms. We cannot afford a Fort Sumter to undermine our moral legitimacy. However, how it would end might well be surprising to some. Especially if the fight is taken to the “leadership,” and not just the government cannon fodder. And they’d have their own William Jefferson Clinton to thank for it, as HE OK’d going after political leaders AND the media/propaganda arms that support them! Think Bosnia, et cetera.

The Final Steps - Gun Laws:
Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns.. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms.. Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.
No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.
Totalitarianism didnt come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism.

Vehicles are just inert pieces of metal without parts, fuel, and other supplies -- supplies that are ordered by simple clerks working in buildings.
What happens to the whole edifice if the clerical infrastructure is convinced that finding a new line of work was in their best interest? What happens to FedGov if all low-level federal employees are persuaded to quit?
Yep. They’d quit before we got too far. Odds are they already have overseas locations to bug out to.

As David Horowitz says ‘this is a war’
If you know how much you have -- you don't have enough.
Yeah, I agree...I need some variety in my cardio workout...
BTW, all of this planning for a special po-po force, does make it easier to see the future they want to try on us...
It will get very ugly, very fast when they make this mistake...
I pray we don't hit the tipping point. But if we do, all bets are off, and anything goes.

You better make sure that they are old friends and trustworthy, or vet them very carefully.
Just sayin...
Ummm, have you checked the “exchange rate” for Taliban vs. our forces?
The “Stability Police Force” is like the “United States Police Force” from the Escape from New York and Escape from LA movies..
Hmm.
Didn’t I see this a year or so ago? I mean hasn’t it been posted before?
Thanks stockpirate. I’m way too unstable for that to work.
If you have read up to this point and are thinking to yourself, “I’m totally unprepared! What do I do?” Don’t worry, you are still free, so there is still time. Being prepared puts the mind at ease. Remember, don’t tell anyone that you are preparing.
Step One: Become a Christian. Read the Bible. Start with the New Testament then go on to the Old. Pray.
Step Two: Pull your kids out of government school and homeschool them.
Step Three: Know that if you surrender, you will probably die.
Food:
Survival Food Tablets
http://www.campingsurvival.com/sufotachfl.html
One bottle will last one person for 15 days. Buy at least 50 bottles per family member and you won’t have to worry about the government and their food rationing. Also, start a fruit, vegetable, and grain garden. Earthbox (http://store.earthbox.com/products.asp?dept=12) makes this easy to do in any environment.
Water:
Buy one of these for each family member. Then you can get pure water from any source no matter how dirty. Also, start filling milk cartons with water and putting them in the freezer.
Heat:
Fill up on firewood or coal. If you don’t have a fireplace, get a wood stove and route the pipe out a window. If you can’t do that, get an Absolute Zero Suit (http://mountainhardwear.com/Product.aspx?top=1827&prod=1311&cat=1871&viewAll=False).
Protection:
AR10 Rifle for each family member with as much ammo as you can get. Give everyone a knife and tell them to go for the eyes or neck as a last resort.
Communication:
Get a ham radio. If you don’t know about it, join your local ham radio club (there is one in your town, just search for it on the web) and they will teach you. Get a battery setup to power it. Listen for the resistance, don’t transmit, don’t fall for liars. If the radio goes silent, run.
Running:
Be prepared to run. Have full camping gear and tools as well as a destination in mind in the wilderness. You must be able to carry this gear on your back and walk to this destination. Use a compass, not GPS.
Safe Room:
Build a room in your house with a concealed door. Keep your radio, weapons, and gear in there and retreat there if there’s no other choice.

“12 BILLION rounds of ammo in the hands of said Americans.”
That number is extremely low. I know guys that have over 100,000 rounds. It is not uncommon for preppers to have over 10,000. I would estimate over 100 billion rounds has been accumulated over the past 10 years, and that doesn’t include all those rounds accumulated over the past 40 years. The idea of the fall of America is not new.
I hope they try it. Dying for my country would be the coolest thing I’ve every done.
