also from the article........

However, some conservatives and libertarians believe this is not a plan to be celebrated, but one that should be closely examined on many levels including the constitutionality of having military forces operating within the United States.

"The plan may sound good on its surface, but it brings up a lot of questions by law enforcement officials and other first responders (firefighters, emergency medical personnel, etc.)," said former police lieutenant Steve Rodgers, who has headed homeland security operations

During his 1945 election campaign Churchill stated that: “...a socialist policy is abhorrent to the British ideas of freedom. Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the object worship of the state. It will prescribe for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say. Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance.”

Ever since ‘bummer made a statement, nonchalantly, last year, referring to the possibility of a terrorist nuclear attack: “America can withstand a nuclear attack” I have had a VERY uneasy feeling that he and his handlers would, without blinking an eye, commit the mother of all ‘Wag-the-Dog’ incidents, should they feel they are losing their grip on the destruction of this country - and use it to declare Martial Law.

I fear most for the period in 2012 from 6 months prior to elections on. Martial Law gives the pres TOTAL control, shuts down the Congress for 6 months (a congress he now would like to shut down - we have just seen, in Wisconsin, a stark example of how these despots have NO respect for the rule of law. If they can't win, like they were able to do before the 2010 elections, they will do whatever it takes to rule.

They feel they have the right.

I am amazed and a bit both heartened and alarmed at the tens of thousands of Americans who are preparing for ‘survival’ as too food, gardens, defense against what they feel may well be coming.

I'm a great grandmother. I have NEVER seen this level of concern. Now I’m wondering if such preparations might be prudent. And if so, our window of opportunity may close sometime around May of 2012.

Would someone please assure me, with facts, why we should not worry?

Is this another thing nobama has just done w/out regard to the constitution or Congress? Like when he decided to fire the CEO of General Motors.

Remember - he let the cat out of the bag - the ‘scenario’ may have been delayed a bit - since, after the election, they had such iron-clad control they felt they could cement their coup without a ‘generated crisis”

Now with the comeuppance of the 2010 elections, and their wings clipped a bit, they may be getting ready to move.

The ‘crisis’ will be made to appear ‘generated’ from outside the country - but “Mark My Words” - it will not, not if traced back to it's roots.

These Socialists have, in all the decades they have been fighting to take over this country, never been as close as they've gotten in the last 2 years. They are not going to meekly submit to the rule of law and the will of the people.

They know that if they lose this time - which it looks quite possible now, particularly with the growing defeat of the unions - which ‘bummer, in 2017 campaign, promised SEIU they would rule the country - they are NOT going to go away quietly as they know, if defeated this time, it's their death knell.

Prepare to fight. Prepare to be self sufficient and Pray harder than you ever have.

well, DHS does believe that the biggest terrorist threats are conservative Christians with guns.

---let's not forget this recent little tidbit of related news recently discussed on several FR topics:

Obama Is Sending Border Officers from DHS to Help Secure Afghan-Pakistan Border

At first glance it would appear that 0zero seeks to co-opt the military and change it from an grassroots allegiance to Constitution to a political party in power central allegiance...

Little good can come from this. Do we know if the Council of Governors took a vote? Was it unanimous? What constitutes "signed off on" this consolidation?

The co-chairs are Douglas (R-VT) and Gregoire (D-WA).

Also on the board are Fortuño (NPP-Puerto Rico), McDonnell (R-VA), O'Malley (D-MD), Perdue (D-NC), Henry (D-OK), Nixon (D-MO), Rounds (R-SD), Brewer (R-AZ).

The U.S. Secretary of Defense yesterday announced that he's agreed to a plan that will allow one military commander to be in charge of both State National Guard and each military branch's reserve forces when they are deployed to respond to domestic emergencies including terrorist attacks, according to Lisa Daniel of the American Forces Press Service.

My eyes are drawn to the word following INCLUDING.

What OTHER items fall into domestic emergencies

that the MILITARY needs to be called out?

This is so monumentally bad as to defy reason. The power grab must be stopped!
