Special army unit ready to be deployed on American soil just before Nov.. elections (Update)
Note: An update has been posted at the end of the article.
In October of this year, one month prior to the November midterm elections, a special army unit known as 'Consequence Management Response Force' will be ready for deployment on American soil if so ordered by the President.
The special force, which is the new name being given to the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry, has been training at Fort Stewart , Georgia and is composed of 80,000 troops.
According to the Army Times,
They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.
The key phrase is 'may be called upon to help with civil unrest.' (AP Photo/David Longstreath).
This afternoon a local radio talk show host reported that he had been in contact with a member of the military. This military source stated that the armed forces have been alerted to the strong possibility that civil unrest may occur in the United States this summer, prior to the midterm elections of 2010.
The source described this as 'our long, hot summer of discontent' that could be eerily reminiscent of the summer of 1968 when riots broke out in many of our largest cities.
However, the summer of 2010 could well be much worse due to the players involved. In 1968 the major players were war protesters. This time, the outrage simmering beneath the surface of American society involves a broad cross-section of the heartland, and most of them are heavily armed.
It is highly unlikely that these citizens would ever initiate armed conflict of any kind. In their view, gun rights are for self-defense--and for defense against tyrannical government, which our Founders regarded as the most dangerous force on earth.
However, it has become clear that other groups may well initiate violence in order to start an 'incident' that would give Obama and a rogue Congress a reason to implement martial law, confiscate the citizens' guns, enforce curfews, and suspend all future elections until such time as it is deemed 'safe' to proceed with human liberty as encapsulated in the right to vote.
Tea Party members, for example, have been warned in recent days that members of Andy Stern's SEIU union and members of the organization formerly known as ACORN plan to infiltrate Tea Party gatherings in order to incite some sort of incident that could result in armed conflict.
In addition, all indications point to a humiliating defeat for the Democrats and Obama in November. Not only will the House in all likelihood transfer to Republican control, but it is increasingly possible for the Democrats to lose the Senate as well.
And there are Leftwing groups in this country that would use whatever means necessary to prevent that from happening.
ACORN has already gone underground, changing its name so as to fly beneath the radar screen. How many people will the group register to vote illegally?
And with Obama's plan to naturalize between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens, a brand new voter base for the Democrats will be in place prior to November.
Add to this the growing unrest over continued high unemployment, the coming spike in interest rates and inflation, and the still-boiling outrage over the manner in which Obama and the Democrats shoved ObamaCare down the throats of the citizens, and all of the ingredients are present for a major F-5 tornado to sweep across the heartland.
To what extent would soldiers use deadly force during such 'civil unrest' should the Consequence Management Response Team be utilized? During the anti-war riots of the 1960s they killed student protesters. What about now?
The military source cited by the radio host today was asked this very question. He would merely say that the culture of the U.S. military is changing--half support Obama and the other half are dead-set against him.
His conclusion? There is no way to know for sure if they would obey an order to open fire on ordinary citizens.
Update: The Cato Institute published this warning when the program was launched in its first phase in 2008 (the program has been updated and expanded since 2008). The Founders insisted that standing armies were never to be used against American citizens on our own soil, no matter what violations of this principle have occurred in the years following. In the spirit of the Patriots and of real journalists government must be questioned constantly and held to intense scrutiny in order to preserve liberty.
Well folks here it is, the special force Obama wanted using our own military. For any of you my age, remember Hitler's Nazi's prior to WW2 !!
Sorry Obama lovers you're getting this too. He said during his run for president he wanted this special force for control during internal matters in our country! Looks like he's got it....
Not sure who wrote this last part but use the Army Times link to read the actual article. If they are not going to use the non-lethal package in the US that leaves only the lethal methods.
It would be a mistake to give them what they want.
Yes, but I have a feeling that if "we" retain reason and don't fall into their goading little traps, they'll just send somebody out in "our" name and get it started regardless. Just a hunch.
...they'll just send somebody out in "our" name and get it started regardless.
But you can spot and deal with the more amateurish SEIU goon types.
Against real professionals, it would be much harder. But those little cameras can do a lot to help repudiate a poseur or a provocateur who tries to grandstand in front of a camera to blacken the target group's image.
I'd guess that the Tea folk have considered this already and have some ideas about how to deal with goons and disruptors and such.
I was thinking somebody a bit more...professional...than union goons. Yeah, they're easy to spot.
But those little cameras can do a lot to help repudiate a poseur or a provocateur who tries to grandstand in front of a camera to blacken the target group's image.
Totally agree. When faux anti-government protesters were sent out a few months back, cameras caught them (and guys held signs around the fakers, pointing them out). At least in pics that I saw.
As far as the msm is concerned, the anti-government folk are all racist inbread yokel hicks who rarely wear shoes. They've been casting that image forever, it's not like it means anything at this point. The 11% of Americans who are pro-progressive don't need convinced that we're all a bunch of hillbillies, and they're not changing any of the anti-government protester minds by continuing their mindless chants. It would be for show only I think, if they did that.
Which doesn't mean they wouldn't of course.
The real problems will come when they send out agents to actually commit violence in "our" name (not at a rally, but when they send out a team to blow up something and claim it was us), when it becomes apparent that we're not likely to strike first. Then the "crack down" starts in earnest, and most likely, lots of violence from all sides. I have an strange suspicion that this is what's going to happen.
Thing is, you're putting way to much faith in polls. The numbers of pro-Obama are represented in polls that go like this:
Them: "Hello, we're conducting a survey. Are you a registered Democrat?" Me: "No." Them: "Thank you sir, good bye"
Fact is Hussein is in deep shit approval wise, it's not a big secret. His numbers are horrible, even on the rigged polls.
So in essence what you have here is divisions along political ideology, but still, with far too few people truly knowledgeable as to what's going on, just like my neocon family members and family members of others here as well.
Neocons are a dying breed. There are still plenty of hangers on, but few deny now that pretenders like Dubya (and his dad) were bad for the nation. Hence the "Republicans and Democrats both are responsible for this crap" attitude.
As far as the Convinced, nothing can be done about them. Those open to reason have been studying and revising opinions. Those not, not.
End of the day, I don't see a dystopia, but I do know we're in for a world of pain and confusion soon.
