No Martial Law Prep Here, Seriously

Is there any doubt that government's initial reaction to general inquiry is to lie?

At a National Guard exercise being held in Toyota Park, a soccer stadium, Colonel Johnny Miller, the head of the drill, told Dew and Douglass, “Our partner country with Illinois is Poland, so we’ll have Polish military folks here,” adding that Polish law enforcement agencies, Polish FBI, as well as Latvian forces, would also be in attendance.

 

Miller said that the Polish personnel would be there merely as observers to incorporate what they had witnessed into their own counter-terror and law enforcement programs, a claim later disproved when the troops were seen participating in the programs.

 Moving on to Elk Grove Village for day 3 of the exercise, SFC Mark Ballard of the Illinois National Guard said that the Polish forces would be “integrating into some of the civil military units that are participating in this exercise” as part of Illinois’ partnership with the Republic of Poland, a relationship based around “integrative training” and blending military and civilian forces in the event of a national emergency, as well as making this process of integration with foreign troops more “visible”.

Or perhaps you would like the report from New York?

Alex Jones and Matt Ryan reported earlier today that the National Guard is currently working with police in Albany, New York, to confiscate weapons from citizens in violation of the Constitution and Posse Comitatus.

In New York state, the “other condition” allowing the military to violate the rights of citizens is the bogus “war on drugs.” As the video here reveals, the cops and National Guard are using the spurious drug war to search for and confiscate weapons in violation of the Second Amendment. Local cops are using x-ray technology provided by the Pentagon to search vehicles. In addition to images of pot plants, Fox 23 shows an image of an x-ray scan that reveals a rifle hidden inside a car.

Or perhaps in the Gulf?

And the Gulf again?
Taking photographs of failed oil booms — which trap oil in coastal waterways, or simply float ineffectively — could be a class D felony and result in a $40,000 fine, according to Georgianne Nienaber’s reading of this Deepwater Horizon Unified Command release.

Permission to enter the safety zone must be granted by Coast Guard Captain of the Port of New Orleans, a solution, says the investigative journalist and author, that is unworkable.

The Real Effect
Alright everybody, critical thinking time. Got your "thinkin' caps" on? Good.

Aside from your warm tinglies that you get upon hearing the word "blending" (Awe, aren't we all inclusive now?), does anyone think that adding foreign troops to our military ranks is a good idea? Especially in the event of an "emergency" during which accountability is generally lower?

Troops are for protecting your country not another. Generally to fix the issue of your troops being gone, you bring them back not hire foreign mercenaries!

If this is continued actions and casulties that would be unacceptable by a sovereign nation's own troops become dualistically accepted and rejected simultaneously. On the one hand, they are in our nation, as guests so it follows that we be somewhat civil towards them. On the other, once an invisible threshold of injustice is crossed, they are revealed for the loathsome occupiers that they really are.

Of course in the government's eyes no good plan should be left to a single locale, so these stunning ideas are being applied to the local police forces as well. Kiss the idea of representative government goodbye.

Who remembers last year's Operation Red Dragon?
