Another American First Under Bush

[rabbitproof]

We will have armed soldiers on the streets of America starting next week. This is the first time in this country's history that this is going to occur without the backdrop of a disaster such as Katrina in 2005.

What is the army expecting US citizens to do?

Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out "Crowd Control"

By Naomi Wolf, AlterNet. Posted October 8, 2008.

Members of Congress were told they could face martial law if they didn't pass the bailout bill. This will not be the last time.

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.

George Bush struck down Posse Comitatus, thus making it legal for military to patrol the U.S. He has also legally established that in the "War on Terror," the U.S. is at war around the globe and thus the whole world is a battlefield. Thus the U.S. is also a battlefield.

He also led change to the 1807 Insurrection Act to give him far broader powers in the event of a loosely defined "insurrection" or many other "conditions" he has the power to identify. The Constitution allows the suspension of habeas corpus -- habeas corpus prevents us from being seized by the state and held without trial -- in the event of an "insurrection." With his own army force now, his power to call a group of protesters or angry voters "insurgents" staging an "insurrection" is strengthened.

U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman of California said to Congress, captured on C-Span and viewable on YouTube, that individual members of the House were threatened with martial law within a week if they did not pass the bailout bill:

"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. … Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day and a couple of thousand on the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no."

WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!! Now, that is real talk.

I would suspect a similar conversation was held when we went to war after 911. All I can say is "WOW". But you know what, I am not even surprised by this. I even think everyone was DUPED again to pass a bill by Bush again. Kinda like what happened with 911. The word "FEAR" is a powerful thing in politics. I am guessing that is why Bush stayed on television talking about having to pass this bill before we collapse. I guarantee this created fear once again in the public eye, and everyone started thinking about there money, and sent millions of emails to their local leaders to get this done no matter what...And, now we are starting to see that this bailout the way it was passed may NOT be the right option. One thing is for sure. There are people making big money behind things like this.

Guess who went back to Washington to help Bush push this bill and wanted to cancel everything else? Ole McCain the McSame. But, guess what, this time "FEAR"was enough to get this done in a quick manner before everyone had time to see through this whole thing. All I can say is "WOW", they did it again.
