Use of military in quelling domestic unrest a scary sign
AMY GOODMAN

Thursday, Oct 2, 2008
A little-noticed story surfaced a couple of weeks ago in the Army Times newspaper about the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team. “Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months,” reported Army Times staff writer Gina Cavallaro, “the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.” Disturbingly, she writes that “they may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control” as well.
The force will be called the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive Consequence Management Response Force. Its acronym, CCMRF, is pronounced “sea-smurf.” These “sea-smurfs,” Cavallaro reports, have “spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle,” in a combat zone, and now will spend their 20-month “dwell time” — time troops are required to spend to “reset and regenerate after a deployment” — armed and ready to hit the U.S. streets.
The Army Times piece includes a correction stating that the forces would not use nonlethal weaponry domestically. I called Air Force Lt. Col. Jamie Goodpaster, a public affairs officer for Northern Command. She told me that the overall mission was humanitarian, to save lives and help communities recover from catastrophic events. Nevertheless, the military forces would have weapons on-site, “containerized,” she said — that is, stored in containers — including both lethal and so-called nonlethal weapons. They would have mostly wheeled vehicles, but would also, she said, have access to tanks. She said that use of weapons would be made at a higher level, perhaps at the secretary of defense level.
(Article continues below)
Talk of trouble on U.S. streets is omnipresent now, with the juxtaposition of Wall Street and Main Street. The financial crisis we face remains obscure to most people; titans of business and government officials assure us that the financial system is “on the brink,” that a massive bailout is necessary, immediately, to prevent a disaster. Conservative and progressive members of Congress, at the insistence of constituents, blocked the initial plan. If the economy does collapse, if people can’t go down to the bank to withdraw their savings, or get cash from an ATM, there may be serious “civil unrest,” and the “sea-smurfs” may be called upon sooner than we imagine to assist with “crowd control.”
The political and financial establishments seem completely galled that people would actually oppose their massive bailout, which rewards financiers for gambling. Normal people worry about paying their bills, buying groceries and gas, and paying rent or a mortgage in increasingly uncertain times. No one ever offers to bail them out. Wall Street’s house of cards has collapsed, and the rich bankers are getting little sympathy from working people.

Dont worry so much,
I’m sure they will mainly be used to help get cats out of trees. When they aren’t dragging dissenters of the NAU to FEMA torture camps in the middle of the night.

The cover story picture is interesting (the one visible on the main page). Judging by the lack of street activity and the shadows from the buildings, I would say that pic was taken quite early in the morning. Notice also the trash has been placed on the street already the night before. So, what exactly are they patrolling for at 7 am?? Little old ladies sipping tea on the porch? These kinds of photos piss me off because they are so skeptical.

People, please use discretion, this website is monitored by the government. Making comments about their untold agenda in this or similar forums will at some point identify you as a prespective obstruction. Be extremely cautious about what you say here folks. Those in charge have really bad things planned for those who refuse to accept their rappidly evolving New World Order.

Rich i agree with you. Too bad that will never happen. I see it already. Peaceful protesters are demanding to get heard. Out of the corner of the crowd, a riotor comes and hurls a rock or shoots a gun and then all hell breaks loose. The news media immediately says, Look the riotors are bad and The Military starts shooting and all during this, the news states a thousand times and say it was the riotors fault and they were bad.

“They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
Since we’re too independent, America must be led to fall
When our credit’s been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
They’ll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast

We will be treated like the poor of Iraq are treated by the military soon!!!

I recommend everyone pray and pray hard& often. This is only the beginning. Since the American Citizens are sleeping and I believe will just stay asleep, well there is your answer. Until this directly affects their own lives that is when they decide to do something about it which of course is too late. I truelly don’t understand why the American public are just doing nothing about this. I did not serve my country for this, but then again I am not a hero, so I guess I’m going to have to be a slave for our masters like the rest of us. very,very Sad. May God Bless Us ALL.

Because they’ve been chemtrailed into submission, passivity, apathy, I.Q. reduction.
In the quest for domination of the electromagnetic spectrum, psychotronic weaponry was a key goal early on.
Gather a number of processed foods. Make a list of all the additives. Research them. You will find a startling number of unneeded (for food) substances that have primary uses in electronic circuits. Combine that with living in an artificially charged, ionized atmosphere, via chemtrails with barium, aluminum. The particles of barium are to the size and prevalent enough in the atmosphere that now the sun itself accomplishes most of the ionization.
Modulation is accomplished via large antenna arrays, smaller towers, carrier waves in 60 cycle environment we all live in.
A minority are stronger than most, and are able to buck the effects to a degree. Still, the battle for clarity of thought and insight that makes a difference is still hard to come by. Harder now than ever before.

If we all laid down in the Street when they come round, and let them shoot us, they’d all be totally ’spanard’, ie fucked.

A lot of the troops are flat out traitors who are itching to come murder you in front of your children. Any of them who show up for work on the big day are sick murdering child molesters and killers.

I know alot of soldiers that won’t and they are some of the BEST we have so THINK AGAIN #23!!!! WE are watching VERY closely as this GOV get’s more criminal by the day.
If it come’s down to a gut check then WE WILL HONOR OUR OATH((BANK ON IT))
The uniform code of military justice has provisions for this and Must be addressed; to do less is the purest form of sadistic TREASON. This is what men of courage must face and confront A.S.A.P. before it is to late. You see, just like all criminals, if they think that the jig is up then they will start getting dangerous and that is now what’s starting to happen !

Недавно на первом канале стали показывать ролики социальной рекламы: из бутылки в стакан, в рюмку и в бокал льется алкоголь. Далее идет рассказ как от потребелния выпивки страдают внутренние органы человека. Некоторое время назад подобная реклама в прессе тоже имела место в некоторых Московских печатных изданиях. Как вы считаете, поможет ли такая реклама изменить ситуацию в нашей, одной из самых пьющих стран в мире?
