There is an unmarked C-130 flying low around Vermont and nobody knows to whom it belongs.

People are hardly aware of the fact that we have undergone a political and social revolution over the last 50 years. Those who were once outside the Western Eurpoean social structure have now almost completely taken over: i.e. blacks, perverts, foreigners, non-christians etc. They have been taking the jobs, the places in our schools, places in our government, driving the white Western European ever lower into poverty. They verbally insult and degrade us. They engage in violent assaults on us on our streets. While more stupid than us they have enough intelligence to realize that their conduct may precipitate a counter attack.(Though I doubt it!)They have been scrambling to create a military that will upon orders ruthlessly suppress and physical counter attack; i.e Gays, Aliens, weird women that see themselves to be “just like a man!” This type of military needs practice. Once highly trained as to the proper target and supression techniques those who only now have achieved power will feel confident enough to start the actual sack with the plunder of property, the rape of women and boys and the killing of males.

Most low flying unmarked planes in NE are looking for pot plants/growing areas in the woods (stills too as well as questionable campsites/trailers in the woods that may be drug related)...that’s what our LEO friends tell us anyway....it’s a full time job and they have had a lot of success with it in NE-so I guess it’s Vermont’s turn!
Welcome to the War!

Freepers who vilified democrat Gov. Kathleen Blanco after hurricane Katrina should reflect that she was very properly resisting a federal power grab. Notwithstanding her politics, I always supported her insistance on retaining local control of the National Guard. People not from New Orleans don’t get that government at all levels viewed the storm’s aftermath as an opportunity to mounvt a dress rehearsal for martial law. SAR was merely an excuse and byproduct. What y’all saw on tv was mostly a show. Here at street level I can tell you it was all about military and paramilitary units finding out just how unconstitutional they could be when attention is distracted. The answer is — very.

Yes Blanco did a wonderful job of keeping things in control.

We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set. Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
They dont call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps deserve) defense.
The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.
I think of it as the NATCCC, or simply the NATCs...

I wish the lamestreamers had included at least one interview with one of the soldiers who was thinking, “What the f**k are we doing here?”
To: JohnKinAK
so they DROVE from Maryland to St.Louis to train troops in St.Louis how to drive them instead of FLYING the troops to the vehicles... BRILLIANT!!!

I see Apache Longbows flying around here quite often. But I guess since they’re made only a few miles away doesn’t mean anything....or does it? Now, a tank would make me go, hmmmm.

I have to say that this event, which is being labeled a "training exercise", makes very little sense to me. U.S. Army troops all the way from Maryland running open exercises in armored personnel carriers on the busy streets of St. Louis? I know Maryland is a small state, but is there really not enough room at Ft. Detrick to accommodate a tank column and some troops? Hey, can't run the Abrams in Tal Afar anymore, can't run 'em at Ft Knox in Kentucky [Armor School moved to Ft Benning in GA] so that leaves downtown Saint Louie. No worries, plenty of combat engineers in the state to repave any streets that get cracked or rutted. And the practice they can get tracking cars rolling by on I-70 is fantastic!

Cultural Marxism has been frighteningly successful. successful in creating a story for the left about economic, social, educational, and environmental justice, sustainability, concensus and a story for the right about Free Trade, comparative advantage, free movement of goods and natural persons, compassion, and profits uber alles with no reference to patriotism or morality. Both stories lead to the same place - destruction of the American economy, security, traditional culture, values and its pesky middle class under the tyranny of global communism.
The 'left' call themselves progressives and put a D after their names; the 'right' call themselves compassionate conservatives and put an R after their names. In reality the left and the right are one and the same. Only the window dressing is different. The right will do behind your back what the left does in your face. Neither side wants a strong sovereign United States.
