Pentagon studying protesters to prep for ‘mass civil breakdown’
The Washington Times ^ | June 13, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Posted on 06/15/2014 5:01:13 AM PDT by stevie_d_64

The Department of Defense has disbursed some funds to universities so that scientists might study the dynamics of civil unrest — and how the U.S. military might best respond.

It’s called the “Minerva Research Initiative,” and it’s a program that was kicked off in 2008 to “improve DoD’s basic understanding of the social, cultural, behavioral and political forces that shape regions of the world of strategic importance to the U.S.,” The Guardian reported.

Those individuals targeted for questioning include political activists and members of non-governmental organizations — something that The Guardian pointed to as potential for concern.

Well, at least part of the cat is out of the bag...

This is just one layer of the onion...

It is obviously not just the DoD throwing money at this, nor are they the only ones standing to benefit from this “study”...

Feel free to distribute this to any ping list, anyone has...

Job 28:28
And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

Minerva is the Greek goddess of wisdom. Perhaps the government feels that when the American people understand what the government has been doing, the American people will shun their evil government. The politicians have a fear that the people will turn to wisdom and fear of the lord. The best that the secular humanists can do is place their faith in Minerva.

The head of this group:
Dr. Daniel Y. Chiu
http://www.defense.gov/bios/biographydetail.aspx?biographyid=349

Is a “climate change” globalist:

Excerpts:

Prioritizing Climate Change for Policy Makers:

Dr. Daniel CHIU considered the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review to be an acknowledgement by the US leadership of the existence of climate security risks. What the leadership needed now were risk-benefit scenarios as part of a decision making tool.

The Use of the Military in the Context of Climate Change:

Dr. CHIU, in response, referred to the analogy, arguing that “the rabbit is often very complex”. For the DoD it was a challenging task to strike a balance between reactive (traditional) and proactive (new) capabilities and operations that need to be properly and timely planned and executed. Thus, in a more complex, globalised and less predictable security environment “the rabbit needs to be shot with a shotgun” at times. Dr. Chiu also emphasised that assisting partners and allies in building capacities and facilitating deeper cooperation was a very important aspect of the responsibilities of the DoD in order to handle the increasing levels of complexity in security issues.

Future of NATO Operations in connection with Climate Change:

Dr. CHIU recommended to better align the planning requirements for operations (predominantly short-term) and resource management (predominantly long-term) and link the analytical data in order to optimise the use of assets and expensive resources. This included bringing planning processes of Allies together.

Conclusions:

Dr. CHIU concluded by arguing in favour of NATO becoming a facilitator of inter-disciplinary thinking and cross-cutting discussions that could help to change the mind-set and to raise the visibility of climate change security risks across a broad range of civil and military personnel.

“Preparing for the cancellation of the 2016 election and the murder of Patriots.”

Just a few short years ago you would be called a kook.

Today the kooks are the ones that don’t consider the possibility.

Notice how MS 13 gang members are being let into the country?

Everyone remembers Fast and Furious what they forget is Hillary’s state Dept. was also involved in gun running.

Hillary was arming up MS 13 gang members in el Salvador.

Arming up gangs is nothing new for the Clintons.

In 1996, right before the election, Bill Clinton’s buddies in the Chinese military were caught smuggling full auto weapons to the gangs in Los Angeles.

While the Chinese were arming up the gangs, Bill Clinton was stirring up the racial pot just like they did before the race riots of 1992.

Let’s not forget 1996 was called “The Summer of Terror 96” because of all the terrorist threats.

With the help of the Chinese and muslim terrorist, the Clintons were going to make sure they did not leave the WH.

We are getting an exact repeat of the Summer Of Terror 96.

In some areas it has already broken down. Just read or view the daily news.

Well, Mr. pentagon, whose side are you on?

OUR side, or the Kenyan’s side??

It’s really THAT simple.

Where do you think the gun control movement fits into this? Is that why oligarchs are fronting the urban liberals in their push to disarm the rural law abiding public, while doing nothing towards disarming urban criminals. Is it because of politics?

A well armed law abiding populace serves 2 purposes - it gives tyrannical minded politicians pause, and thus prevents the anarchy that would result.. Average Americans need to become more cynical of the media and the politicians who claim to be do-gooders interested in your security.

Yes, when are deliberately destroying a country’s infrastructure and stealing their hard earned wealth you have to assume the populace may get a litte ticked off about it.

The only thing that gives me pause about soebarkah going completely off the rails is his library and “legacy”. His ego transcends all prediction.

I’ve got a feeling this is getting ready to get real nasty real fast.

When Obama released the terrorist I predicted there would be a terrorist uprising.

My only mistake was I predicted it would be in Afghanistan not Iraq.

I still expect a terrorist uprising in Afghanistan since Obama is sitting on his thumb with Iraq.

I found too many similarities with the Nick Berg video in Iraq and Berghal to be just a coincidence IMO.

The Nick Berg video was the start of the Iraqi uprising.
Unless I’m mistaken, this ISIS bunch is basically the same bunch that cut off Nick Bergs head.

The dems had planned on using Abu Grahab(SP?) prison and the Nick Berg video as propaganda and a symbol of to quote Charles Barron, “The plight of the black man in Americas prisons”. Nick Berg getting his head cut off ruined the dems propaganda.

Doc that were captured let it be known Osama bin Laden also wasn’t happy about this bunch cutting off peoples heads as it was also hurting al Qaida’s PR campaign.

The bunch that cut off Nick Bergs head are also the same bunch that had a terrorist attack planned for NYC in 2005.

The leader at the time of the attempted bombing, Zarqui(SP?), didn’t get permission from bin Laden to carry out the attack and al Qaida went after him. Shortly after is when the US Military, with the help of al Qaida, turned Zarqui(SP?) into hamburger.

When this clown heading this bunch said he would see them in NY, he meant they would return and finish the job they started and didn’t finish.

Our lefty friends have a history of collaborating with this ISIS bunch, I don’t have a doubt they are doing it now.

People living in cities better get ready.

They will get the illegals to marching, protesting, and rioting in the streets.

People in NYC better get ready. He’s said he’s coming back and he meant it.
