Hope I posted this link so it works:

SORRY, the proper site appears to be :https://www.armytimescom/news/2008/0...eland_090708w/

Anybody else's tinfoil beginning to tingle?

I think the link is broken but should point toward this http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/0...Dleaves070301/

What do you think this means? If it is merely another unit being rotated into Iraq for another deployment I don't see your point. If you believe it is something else please help those of us whose hats are to tight, lol.

[nitehawg]

Sorry DAS,

If I were more computer literate I'd be acceptable. If we are allowed to mention another site, I originally found this on timebomb2000.com. Currently it's on page 2.

I think the address should read https://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/...eland_090708w/

In any case the basics of the story from Army Times are that after spending 36 months of the last 50 in the sand (God bless them) the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division is currently undergoing training for deployment in the CONtinental United States. On the administrative side this places them under the command of U.S. Army North, part of the Northern Command.

"They may be called upon to to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horiffic scenarios ..." Part of their training includes use of the "jaws of life" and also chainsaws to assist Forest service personnel in fire fighting. Also, " The 1st BCT soldiers will also learn how to use the 'first non-lethal package the Army has fielded referring to crowd and traffic contol equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to sudue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.' ."

Just questioning "posse comitatus", Title "X" and other stuff.

I see a possible cause for alarm.

WHOA!!! ... i don't even knwo what to say

[nitehawg]

Diesel, I think you sig line just happened

[Diesel]

LOL yeah if not yet, def on the road to something interesting. Think it depends alot on the next presidency, and our economic stability. We shall see, people have become very very complacent to certain things in this country, I just wonder what button the gov will have to push to get people to stand up?

[nitehawg]

I don't know about the "people", but that finger is definitely tickling my button!

Nitehawg,

This is definitely suspicious...especially considering that:

a.) Almost nobody in government, Democrat or Republican, cares about our Swiss Cheese borders and

b.) I've heard reports that even many people from South of the Border were heading back home due to a cut-back in construction caused by the mass default/sub-prime mortgage/FannieMae/FreddieMac mess.

This use of the military doesn't look like it's for the purpose of securing our borders, but could be for use in suppressing U.S. Citizens. Man, I hope that is not right. We'll just have to watch and wait and see...

the news on that webb sight makes me angry and scares the tar out of me but it is not really surprising.
I have been saying for a while now that I am concerned with what may happen after this election day. If Obama does not get elected we may have riots by some folks because he lost. If he does win then we may have more Muslin influence in our lives.
I have been concerned about the Military's increased activity on our own soil in the past few years. While I support the Military I am concerned because those people are under orders by the powers that be. This is further proof that we must be prepared for anything that may come our way. I had a friend who was in the National Guard and about 15 years ago he warned me that things were beginning to happen that he didn't like the unit he was in was actually training to do house to house combat in our local area, complete with street maps and locations that should be taken out first. I am not sure what is coming but, I do know all of us that are like minded need to be ready.

uhhhhh it seems they have deleted this info??? can anyone confirm?

[nitehawg]

Diesel,

It seems that it is no longer a direct link. When I clicked on it my ISP (earthlink) re-directed me to it's help page and it was the second item listed. I clicked on that and the article came up.

Currently looking at some related articles, will post them in a bit.

I've heard interesting things coming outta many USMC insiders about the future of our country and how the military fits into our daily life. One thing I heard loudly and often was if Obama wins steps will be taken to rectify the situation. None of these things have anything to do with my opinions, just letting you all know what I hear.

[nitehawg]

And now it grows to 20,000!

Be afraid, be very afraid

Give the money they are going to spending to local LE so they can hire and train qualified personnel to handle this. End of story. Get around the posse comitatus stuff and you employ more Americans.

I don't have an issue with an armed guard standing in the grocery store, subway, airport etc. in plain sight personally. I certainly wish it wasn't needed but it frankly is and to go on any longer ignoring that fact is....... dangerous to say the least.

I've been in countries where this was common place. Sure made me feel better when I was under their extra guard while on their grounds.

the tin-foil makes me think this might have something to do with bush inacting martial law in the US, but i try not listen to the tin-foil/spidey-sense too often. I'll just stay in the shadows, keep working on my preps and be a good citizen...
