LONG READ BUT IMPORTANT Special army unit ready to be deployed on American soil just before Nov. elections (Update) 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.' 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.
I dunno, it sounds a little far-fetched to me that Democrat operatives will incite an armed revolution that will wind up in Martial Law being declared and everyone's guns being taken away... I mean, isn't that just the sort of nightmare that only a gun-toting individual with a massive paranoia of Obama and government would have?
The Examiner isn't the most credible of sources, I admit. What could possibly happen is: -the leaders of the Tea Party work up the people into a frenzy of some sort, if any violence is instigated, just a reason to implement martial law -a false flag attack against America either on home soil or abroad (probably home) as an excuse to implement martial law plus other executive orders -they will try to portray militia members as crazy gun nuts (okay some of them are) as an excuse to round them up or something it just doesn't look good, that's all
Wont be much of a fight anyway.. The average teabagger is old and fat... Could get lucky and Palin might be taken out..
The liberals now have their supermajorities and they know how incredibly unpopular they are. Obama has surrounded himself with extreme radicals, and has people in his own administration who have in the past advocated for the violent overthrow of the US government. The 60s radicals have been waiting 40-50 years for the chance at total power and socialism. I seriously doubt they will allow power to slip out of their hands now that they have it.
At worse the radicals of the 60s were a group that failed to think realistically about their goals or bring about significant change. But at best (and more importantly) they represented a group whose primary concern was ensuring the freedom of American citizens - freedom from a military-industrial complex that got them killed, freedom from unwarranted laws against substances that infringe on an individual's right to do what they will with their own body and especially freedom from a society that demanded rigid conformity. Do you look back on that decade and just think 'those fucking longhairs'? And also, just to be clear, you believe that (quoting myself) "Democrat operatives will incite an armed revolution that will wind up in Martial Law being declared and everyone's guns being taken away..."?
Extreme radicals? Our government, on both sides of the aisle, is filled with the saddest bunch of simple-minded, irrational, managerial, moon-faced fucking dunderheads ever. Soccer-mom suburbanites are more extreme and radical than them.
I dunno, as has been said it sounds like gun toting, Republican paranoia. Maybe it'll happen, won't be any skin off my back though.
Keep telling yourself that communists are all about "personal freedom and liberty", just as long as you avoid history books you should do fine. How has that personal freedom and liberty worked out in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and Cuba? Your idea of the past sure sounds nice, unfortunatly it has nothing to do with what actually happened during those years. The standard bandwagon long haired hippie was not part of the 60s radicals. I'm talking about the terrorists who advocated, and worked for, the violent overthrown of the US government, and who then read Saul Alinsky and realized a better way to take over. If you read Obama's books (one of which was almost certainly ghost written by Mr. Ayers) he makes very clear how he sought out communist mentors. If you look at his administration it is clear who he has surrounded himself with, radical communists who share his agenda. As for the specifics of how Obama may attempt to end democracy, I do not know how that will happen. We may be fortunate and will be able to thwart him in the 2010 elections.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Ron Paul is going to declare war on Mars? "legalize cannabis...attack the red planet!" BTW, this is where the OP's rumor comes from- Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1 - Army News, news from Iraq, - Army Times This is a post-Katrina operation, that was started by Bush. (edit: great, now I'm visualizing guys armed with chainsaws chasing mobility scooter riding tea baggers around! If it comes to that, can you imagine the Youtube videos?)
I honestly hope the tea party continues to gain momentum, enough so that they incite a violent attempt to overthrow current administration. I think it would be rather refreshing. I cant decide what I would do though, which would be more fun....1)bake them all cookies and bring out hot coco, maybe a few bouqets or something (because I think the best response to anger is kindness, its quite amusing, being unexpectedly extremely nice to really pissed people) OR 2) Finally have a legitimate reason to excersize my 2nd ammendment rights! yay! Get my gun and shoot some ignorant repressive capitalists in the name of socialism! Either way it goes, Im having a blast. This is what it's got to be like living in south america....
The article has no credibility. But for what it lacks in credibilty, it makes up for in speculation. I mean, here, for example, ... Does this "local radio talk show host" have a name? How about the radio station; is it to remain nameless as well? What a poorly written commentary.
