Civil unrest and martial law in the US
Several of you have privately pointed me to this story from last week in Army Times, which reports on the new, permanent mission of the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat team. It's not Iraq; it's within the United States. Excerpts:
Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.
It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.
But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

Something wicked this way comes.............
They might be expecting an attack in the USA by the mutts.
1993->2001->......2009?
I see serious problems with the idea of thinking that American soldiers would have much will or success imposing Large scale martial law on American citizens. I would be far more concerned about mexican military since we seem to be becoming desensitized to them crossing the border.
It is interesting considering that at least one congressman claimed on the house floor that he was told that there would be martial law if the bailout failed.
I’ve seen references to ‘marshall law’ more than once in the last few days and I find the trend disturbing:
marshall law?? ...as reported by one of our Congressmen a few days ago:
Or an Obama loss ?
When Obama is defeated in November. This country will see riots that will make Rodney kings look like a party. Cause word on the street its a commin. NO OBAMA NO PEACE
Back during the black helicopter Clinton days, people here were in a tizzy everytime news went out that US military units were conducting crowd control training or house clearing training.
It is not a bailout...we have only borrowed more and extended our risk. Therefore...eom.
Glenn Beck was mentioning this last week.
Remember the UN vehicles on rail cars in the US
Yes, the Canadian vehicles being shipped out through a U.S. port.
So far, it appears Wall Street is bailing out of the bail out.
sw
No...if martial law is declared in the US, FR will be one of the FIRST sites they take down...we conservastives can’t have a rally point to co-ordinate resistance, now...can we?
Betcha DU, Kos, & HuffPo stay up.
Which begs the question: If TSHTF, what do we as FR members do? Bug out? Stand & fight?
Did I miss something? What UN vehicles on rail cars???
I need to stay in good graces with management so I can get me a cushy guard job, with snappy uniform and a firearm....
“When Obama is defeated in November. This country will see riots that will make Rodney kings look like a party. Cause word on the street its a commin. NO OBAMA NO PEACE”
You are indeed correct. I expect widespread violence.
