Exclusive: Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army
Newsweek ^ | May 17, 2021 | William M. Arkin

Posted on 04/10/2024 1:15:07 PM PDT by reasonisfaith

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

I believe this was covered on FreeRepublic at the time, but I haven't found it yet.

Just a reminder of the good work of men in the real military who have been sacrificing themselves for the righteous cause of our nation. This particular mission goes back many decades.

Mike King of Real News and History brought this article out again recently on the David Nino Rodriguez show.

Very scary. Made doubly so with the Biden illegal additions.

Is such a force to be deployed domestically authorized under that "Constitution" thingy, or something? You know, involving Congressional appropriations, and all that.

Oh.....BS! It is not a clandestine army without oversight. I saw this developing. and was a part of it, going all the way back to 2005. It is simply a by-product of the terrain in which we live in: information dominance.

And so we adjusted accordingly. It’s not a big deal, it was a logical move to thwart the prying eyes of foreign intel.

Relax.

The last thing we need is secret military units operating on American soil. Maybe they should be put on the border to stop the illegal invasion. Our government doesn’t deserve the trust they have. I don’t want them anywhere near me, especially in secret. They can’t be trusted to do the right thing.

Just wondering how many of these members of Pentagon’s “secret army” were on site on January 6th at the Capitol?

Just asking for a friend.......

Yet the article states:

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade.

That would put the start date around 2011 (article date 2021), 6 years after the start date you mention of 2005.

On Jan 6, the cabal thought they were covering up their November 3rd insurrection.

But they were trapped. They were caught—all of them!

There are multiple answers to your question.

President Trump federalized a million national guard troops.

The military can be brought in to work with government agencies in times of great peril to our nation.

When Continuity of Government is in place, there are a lot of things happening that you don’t see.

No, it’s what defeats Obama’s “army.”

This is not referring to the slipshod actions of the traitors to our country.

We’re talking about something that’s been developed for a very long time by competent people.

The purpose of the Constitution is the continuity of liberty, not Continuity of Government. I don't give a hang about the excuse, it's power so easily abused that it will easily be used against the people on behalf of the fascist Deep State.

Exclusive: Inside the Military's Secret Undercover Army

ransomnote: Here's a comment a user named 'Jim Bob' posted below the article at the link.

Jim Bob

The author, William Arkin, is a former military intelligence analyst who had a Top Secret clearance under the Carter Administration and the first part of the Reagan administration.

Arkin was fired from his position and was stripped of his security clearance after providing a list of ALL the American nuclear weapons locations to an intelligence officer from the Soviet Union.

The Reagan Administration struggled with a decision whether to try him for treason or not. Ultimately, it was decided to just "release him" from service in disgrace. The Administration feared that a public trial would give him a pulpit to divulge more Top Secret information to our enemies.

Later, Arkin publicly released a list of all the American Nuclear locations as well as known Soviet Nuclear locations.

He has authored several books, like this article, that takes a few facts and combines them with conjecture. He even worked his way into a job with NBC News.

One thing is perfectly clear about the author, he hates EVERYTHING about the United States Armed Forces -- the organization who relieved him of his duties and threw him out of the Army.
