Guard members previously hunted insurgents in Iraq Paul Joseph Watson A photo showing fully armed U.S. National Guard troops patrolling a quiet residential street in Crookston, Minnesota has gone viral, once again underscoring concerns that Americans are being conditioned to accept the gradual imposition of martial law. Although the photo is undated, Guard troops from the local Crookston Armory routinely take part in off-base exercises which train the local population to accept the sight of armed soldiers patrolling their neighborhoods as normal. One such exercise in February 2011 dubbed “Urban Operations Training” involved military Humvees and 27 armed soldiers conducting a drill around the Bridge Street area of Crookston. According to “Maggie,” the woman who took the photograph, when she started taking pictures of the troops one of them told her, “Just training Ma’am. Joining up with another patrol at the rally point.” When Maggie asked why they were training on the streets of a quiet residential area, a younger soldier responded, “To be honest ma’am, I don’t know.” Members of the same Guard unit shown on the photograph – Minnesota National Guard, Unit 2-136 CAB / B Company – have been deployed to Iraq where their duties would potentially have included rounding up alleged insurgents and taking them to prison camps, a frightening prospect given that the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act allows for American citizens to be similarly kidnapped and detained without trial. National Guard troops are routinely involved in ‘urban warfare training’ drills but they usually take place within the confines of military bases. Many fear that the increasing presence of armed soldiers patrolling residential neighborhoods is a precursor to martial law. Indeed, back in 2008 the Washington Post reported how 20,000 U.S. troops returning from Iraq would be stationed inside America under Northcom for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011 onwards. Northcom officials were forced to subsequently issue a denial after the Army Times initially reported that the troops would be used to deal “with civil unrest and crowd control.” Poster Comment: How can this be??

Did anyone there think to call the units CO and ask about this? How about the mayor? The local LEO? Or would they lie about this? Guess not. Calling would take effort. It's much easier to let the imagination run wild. It's much sexier to think this is a prelude to martial law. Infowars just loves martial law. ------------------------------------------ You first. CROOKSTON NATIONAL GUARD TO CONDUCT URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING THIS WEEKEND ON SUMMIT AVE Company B 2nd Battalion 136th Infantry will be conducting urban operations training on Friday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday April 28 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Training will be conducted at 416 and 424 Summit Avenue North in Crookston. You may notice high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles traveling between the Crookston National Guard Armory and Summit Avenue. Soldiers will be utilizing blank ammunition and have military issues weapons. Soldiers will make personal notifications to residents in a two block radius on Thursday, April 26. Soldiers on site will be available to answer citizen questions about their training during the exercise. If you have questions call 281-6059. I just called 218-281-6059. I reached the voice mail of Sgt. Nathan Muldeen (sp). I left my name and phone # and inquired about the training exercise. Lets see if I get a call back.
Guess not. Calling would take effort. It's much easier to let the imagination run wild. Since you thought of it, why don't you make the call yourself or are you too lazy to expend the effort? Just like many others on here expecting someone else to do all the work. Now get off your lazy ass and make the call yourself!
Until the lowest "grunt" displays an attitude, not to worry. We are NOT the enemy....YET... One thing about the military is always certain, grunts are taught WHO THE ENEMY is. I suspect that would be a difficult task, convincing them that Mom and Pop citizens are the enemy. What is most likely to happen is that a "class" of people be declared enemy, be difficult to establish any one segment as bad.
Better you than me. I'd be searching for something civil to say. I'll be interested in what you turn up.
It's not my story. I didn't write it. So it is not up to me to prove the case. It's just rather obvious that this should have been done by the person to write the article. Since JT was kind enough to do it, I will take his word for what he's told. But you, I wouldn't believe. You already have your white flag and your ass-less chaps ready to go. ------------------------------------------ deleted

Correction: Minnesota Division of the Israeli National Guard, Unit 2-136 CAB / B Company Read the article with a critical mind. Look at the choice of words. What is it saying and what is it implying. This article is standard BS from infowars. They start out with a fact, and weave a tale around it.

Nope, mums the word.
That's a pretty chicken-shit thing to do, announce a phone # for questions & then take the message but not reply. i'd ask them why they advertise it in a PR & then do not respond.
