Pentagon preparing for mass civil breakdown
The Guardian ^ | July 12, 2014 | Nafeez Ahmed

Posted on 06/14/2014 9:37:06 AM PDT by Alyoshak

"Last year, the DoD's Minerva Initiative funded a project to determine 'Who Does Not Become a Terrorist, and Why?' which, however, conflates peaceful activists with "supporters of political violence" who are different from terrorists only in that they do not embark on "armed militancy" themselves."

One does not counter lawlessness using the law. And this administration is far more lawless than the citizens who have stood against it.

when tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty

I hope the Pentagon understands the source of civil breakdown is the regime and takes steps accordingly.

With his abuse of expanded and unlimited EO’s, Obama has pretty much set his self himself up as dictator. His wanton use of it has made him drunk with power. Watch down the road where a national emergency allows him to suspend the 2016 elections. Likely will not happen, but right now I’d give it a 10-20% chance of taking place.

Wondering how anonymous Free Republic is. A determined NSA could probably hack out our ISPs without a lot of difficulty. Freepers would be near the top of the ‘get em’ list when the SHTF happens.

DHS Practices Mowing Down Civilians Disguised as Bloody Zombies

I agree. It’s why I wouldn’t blame the Iraqis for thinking they didn’t want to see us around again. Who would want to go on record as supporting us?

A nation under direct ISIS control, does not seem like something we should take lightly.

This sucks.

Having the Islamic poster child in the Oval Office is very dangerous right now.

ZERO anonymity.
They already know who you are and where to find you.
When TSHTF, the best thing would be not to sit and wait for them at the 'Bundy Ranch' or wherever, but go after the enemy in their homes. Just like they would do for you.

The Egyptian Army (admittedly older than the US Army,
Happy Birthday) figured out that the Tyrant is with
those who BOMBED THE PENTAGON on 911
and MURDERED PEOPLE WORKING IN THE PENTAGON on 911.

Agreed, but it’s a mistake to think that the elites of both parties haven’t been working toward the same goal for decades. There is a reason that the GOPe will wage all out war against conservatives but has nothing bad to say about their leftist opponents.

Correction: al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood are Obummer’s friends. Anyone who opposes his friends are his enemies, which turns out to be most of the American people.
Why do you think all of the Federal agencies have been given advanced weaponry? -to kill the opposition. That’s the way Hitler and Joseph Stalin worked.

I'll unravel the government double-speak; love Big Brother or else.

What is the government going to do to cause this massive civil breakdown? It seems that they are gearing up for something. All the ammunition they are buying is for something. And the armored vehicles are for something. Makes you wonder what Obama has in mind.

This site is very heavily monitored.

In fact there are a number of Obama operatives that post here.

You have to watch them because they will try and get you to “make a threat” against the president.

In today’s climate al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are the allies of this administration, and the citizens of the United States are it’s enemies.

You're not overstating the truth.

It is the weaponry build-up that caused my comments.

I’d call them more than just friends...

This is international and strategic. That’s why I term it allies. This guy is a traitor in the truest sense of the word.

Frankly, I’ve been skeptical of this kind of thing. Always sounded too much like “black helicopter” stuff. But this is the UK Guardian, no citadel of conservatism. It’s apparently true that the Pentagon is preparing for unrest, but the most alarming part for me was that we are going to be profiled (and thus monitored closely — that’s what the computer models are designed to enable) so that in the name of preventing civil unrest our means of communication (blog, twitter, smart phone) can be controlled. After all you are a known “supporter of political violence”. What more reason is needed? The degree to which they are pressuring academics, in the face of resistance by groups like the AAA, is appalling.
