About four months ago I had seen one of these vehicles near my office in Cambridge MA, "Federal Police" on the doors. I was like WTF! Under what authority does the federal government have a "Police" force?
Anyway, they are apparently ordering riot gear. Probably nothing really....

Govt Grabbing Water Again: Sues New Mexico for Water Rights
Excerpt:
There is no better way to control “The People” than to control their water.
This is the work of Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. In a letter to them from the Western Governors’ Association:
“…The ramifications of such legal position extend to the very heart of the Western states exclusive ownership and/or management and control of the groundwater resources within their respective boundaries.”
Jay Stein, a lawyer representing the city of Las Cruces, who has filed as an intervener in the case, said the outcome of the hearing could potentially affect the city’s water supply.
“In the pending water rights adjudication in state district court, here in Las Cruces, the court has turned to the United States’ claims. Foremost among these is the issue of the United States’ claims to “groundwater’ or to “project water in the ground,’ as they have termed it.
These claims are not supported by any actual beneficial use of groundwater. Nor are they supported by state law which governs proceedings in the adjudication.
“These water claims are unqualified but potentially could amount to hundreds of thousands of acre-feet per year.”
I don’t know, Greg. Trumka has just ordered 400,000 union goons to close obama’s ‘white guy gap’....to make damn sure union members vote right. Then we have the illegals and the new black panthers ready to go to war, not to mention ows and the anarchists.
They have already begun trying to restrict Military voting.
I don’t know how far obama is willing to go to win reelection, but it looks like they are going to the matresses.
