Its clearly time to regain control of our military, bring as many home as we can, strip them of the corporate brass, and indoctrinate them in constitutional thinking.

So when US soldiers start attacking US citizens, where exactly does their allegiance lie?

Or are they merely mercenaries?

Alex Jones has been saying this for years. Oh I can’t post that name.

That's the way the culture works nowadays.

Anything that can possibly provide a paper topic to an academic gets written.

Anything that can possibly put a dollar in someone's pocket gets done.

You'll see this come out as a computer game within a year.

That doesn't mean the government will actually do anything about it, though.

Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A “Vision” of the Future

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - Aug 4, 2012

This isn't some wild bee-ess from some Alex Jones site. This is the real deal. The author is a retired Colonel currently on staff at Ft. Leavenworth, which is the hub of all flag officer advanced education and indoctrination. Ft. Leavenworth is not called "the Little Pentagon" for nothing.

The piece is lengthy, but worth the read. It is basically war gaming how the United States military would be deployed to put down a "Tea Party insurgency". Some choice quotes:

"Under present law, which initially stemmed from bad feelings about Reconstruction, the military’s domestic role is highly circumscribed. In the situation we lay out below, even though the governor refuses to seek federal help to quell the uprising (the usual channel for military assistance), the Constitution allows the president broad leeway in times of insurrection."

"Coupled with a gradual build-up of federal forces in the local area, all covered by the media, the effect of this pressure will compound over time and quite possibly cause doubt about the correctness of the events in Darlington in the minds of its’ citizens and the insurrectionists who control the town..."

"The design of this plan to restore the rule of law to Darlington will include information/influence operations designed to present a picture of the federal response and the inevitable defeat of the insurrection."

"Combat units will conduct overt Show of Force operations to remind the insurrectionists they are now facing professional military forces, with all the training and equipment that implies..."

"A focus on the humanitarian aspect of the effort will be politically more palatable for the state and local officials. Federal forces continue to tighten the noose as troops seize and secure power and water stations, radio and TV stations, and hospitals."

CW2 Ping

Draw a line intersecting the immediate reaction by the MSM to the Gabby Giffords/Tucson shooting, then Colorado/ABC/Brian Ross, and now this serious and semi-official calculated provocation by a well-known scholar-officer in a respected establishment war journal ... carefully reviewed and passed along before being released. Where does that line project?

What ever happened to wargaming scenarios against Orangeland and Pineland, designed to cause no political blowback from any quarter? Clearly, this is a calculated insult and poke in the eye to name the Evil White Racist / Tea Party Militia as the National Villain. This is just a stunning change in scenario-writing traditions to name and call out an ethnic and regional group as National Villain. This is getting close to the German Nazis naming the dirty jewish vermin as national villain.

There has never been an arrest of a tea party person at any TEA (”taxed enough already”) Party gathering, consisting mostly of older Americans who want a smaller government. Now, these flag-waving geriatrics are recast as “enemies of the state,” deserving to be crushed by the Federal Leviathan. This is dangerous territory. This is Josef Goebbels territory by ABCNNBCBS, “American Pravda,” our MSM, and now by the Small Wars Journel, tied at the hip to the war college at Fort Leavenworth, where our future generals learn the trade.

I can only conclude that the liberal elite powers-that-be (both govt and media wings) have an epic hard-on for “evil white racist Tea Party militia terrorists.” Even if they must conjure them from insane Neo Nazis like the maniac in Wisconsin. (For those who don’t know, Nazi stands for National SOCIALIST. The other side of the Socialist coin is Communisim. They only vary in their enemies and victims, chosen by race or by class.)

And now a respected COL, US Army (ret) is whipping up the hate-on for the imaginary EWR/TPM. (Evil White Racist / Tea Pary Militia.) Paging Josef Goebbels. Or is the guilty culprit in this disgusting demi-drama the Colonel’s female sidekick, the “Civil War expert?” Is she trying to light the fuse to the next Fort Sumter, so that she can write the first history of CW2? Already have the prologue written, dear? Disgust does not begin to convey what I feel for this “academic,” busy tossing matches into the dry straw of the next mega-Waco.

I can only hope that the COL (ret) is a drunk, or suffers dementia, and somehow allowed the lady to hijack his half-byline. But the danger remains that he is fully cognizant of the meaning of the words put out under his name, and agrees whith them. And on up the editorial board which approved this abortion for dissemination.

We cannot ignore this trend. We have had our warnings. The leaders of the liberal elite establishment (gangster government and cooperating media branches) are chomping at the bit to unleash hell on their mortal enemies, the Bitter Clinger Nation.

And if it doesn’t happen naturally, they might give it some “help.” (See Fast & Furious, where the Obama regime already crossed the deliberate mass-murder-for-political-gain Rubicon, and the MSM is part of the coverup.)

(I just posted this on the Washington Times comment thread. Hit it up for a like, and it will float to the top, if you care to “agree” in a visible way.)

"The Army cannot disappoint the American people, especially in such a moment."

So...kill them?

Fantasy stories like this are nursed somewhere deep in political circles. It's their Final Solution to power.

Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion.

Imagine leftist Democrats using control of both houses of Congress together with a leftist President and a leftist majority on the Supreme Court to impose their will on Americans and the Army standing around with their thumbs up their butts saying, "Just tell us where to shoot, Mr. President."

The US military has experience in fighting (modern) insurgency for over a decade. Any uprising in the US will be violently crushed. Any uprising with a hint of “southern” will have very little (public) support in the North and West, while tea party uprising will have broader support. Regardless, I just do not see a well oiled military machine can be brought to knees by weekend warriors who are probably over 50 and not in good physical shape (notwithstanding sound fiscal sense).

The problem right here will arise when Constitutional Government effectively gets between the Treasury, the Federal Credit Card, and the Left. And eventually it will.

To the Left, this very action will be characterized as “insurrection”....or a “civil rights violation”...or “oppression”..and it WILL ignite the next Civil War....which will be fought over the RIGHT to continue to enslave the productive and their offspring through Constitutional circumvention, to the illusions/delusions of Progressivism/Leftism.

It will happen in our lifetimes. That’s what this piece is about.

You heard it here first....

And while the military is busy doing a show of force, the nice old lady in the neighborhood shows up at a local party appartchik meeting featuring "prominent speakers",serves up a "special" dinner, then disappears.
Or as the tanks move into town, the road suddenly explodes with metal rods that pierce the undersides of vehicles, filling them with shrapnel. The explosive residue shows that the propellant is home made.
Truck and rail traffic slow or stop into the power centers (cities) of those who have a "thing" against the bitter clingers, resulting in massive riots and looting. As troops are called in to quell the unrest, supply lines for those subduing the resistance in the hinterland grow thin.

Two can play this game.

Hmm, let’s see, there has never been, at any time, when the tea party caused any trouble. Meanwhile in the liberal side of it all, there are the OWS, causing all kinds of mayhem in every part of the country. Just look at what they did in Portland? Yet, whenever there is talk of “INSURRECTIONS”, these Washington flea brains are preparing a war against the TEA PARTY. That’s ludicrous. But, I’m willing to bet, that if there are any kinds of “INSURRECTIONS”, the tea party will get the blame. And the OWS groups, they will be exonorated.

101st in Little Rock
101st Airborne in Arkansas

Anybody who believes the troops will side with “the people” needs a refresher in U.S. history, and its constitution.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 states in part:
“…SEC. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress;…”
If Congress authorizes it, they can do it. They have done it. Without congressional authorization. Deploy against American citizens on U.S soil? Of course they can. Already been done:
Whiskey Rebellion
Harper’s Ferry
Wounded Knee
Bonus Marchers
Coal Labor Strike of 1941
Little Rock Nine
Kent State
Martin Luther King Riots
Wounded Knee II
Ruby Ridge
Waco

5,000+ muders in Chicago over the past decade and the lefties are worried about some hypothetical small town in south carolina. No, they don’t have ulterior motives or anything. Incidentally, this is why our forefathers were dead set opposed to a large standing Army quartered within our borders.
