Aouch ! In what citys those soldiers has been deployed ? Some photos ? More infos ??

 

[Mr. Premise]

'Deployed' means that they are based in the U.S. not that they are out patrolling streets, tasering people, etc. They won't start doing that until it is deemed necessary.

I miss something. You said 'means that they are based in the U.S'. Huh, are they not already ?

I'm not familiar with military manoeuvres, can you say more ? Thx.

Hi Ellipse, They have come back from Iraq according to the Naomi Wolf interview, now doing some kind of training:

Background: the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing "unruly individuals," and the management of a national emergency. I am in Seattle and heard from the brother of one of the soldiers that they are engaged in exercises now. Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks.

Troops being deployed on its own land is against the law - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

That is what law enforcement authorities (local, state, regional) are for, but as Naomi points out, the President does not have control over them. That's why it is so alarming to her and others, because the law is in place so that the federal government cannot use the military for law enforcement.

That's true but they already crossed that line with Katrina - and, I could be mistaken, but I think that the Patriot Act also includes a section that negates the Posse Comitatus Act - and then there's the fact that the NeoCons don't follow the law anyway, and have stacked presidential powers and the courts are controlled and....

I agree with Anart on this.

IMO, many things were probably planned long before Bush
entered into the Presidency and once in,the plan was set into
motion.

As for the NSPD, see:

Keep in mind that some of the NSPD are supposedly "top secret",
and there are no links or even hints as to what they are.

Also, may want to look at Presidential Executive Orders:

It is interesting and frightening at the same time
but I think "the programming is complete" and we
are already "past the point of no return".

FWIW,
Dan
