What is the newest news? The Army Times declared that "beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the (1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division) will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North" ... "the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities."
They are tasked to help with "civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack …"
What this means is that U.S. citizens can now be "controlled" by the military on our streets through technologies -- such as Tasers and rubber bullets -- that terrify and torment and stun but do not usually kill citizens the way that citizens in Iraq are terrified, tormented and stunned by U.S. military forces.
I have seen very little reporting in the main stream media on this subject but it should catch the attention of every American.
Consider what would happen if McCain is elected and the Negros in this country call foul and say the election was stolen. Riot perhaps and here comes the rubber bullets and tasers.
Consider if Obama wins and the Republicans get so angry that they take to the streets. Here comes the rubber bullets and tasers.
In a country where the army is used to put down unrest that country is on the path to a dictatorship pure and simple. look at history.
The founders sought to keep soldiers off our streets because they knew how easily a standing army could subdue a population. That's why the National Guard is answerable primarily to the governors of states and hence to the people of the United States. But the military is answerable to the commander in chief. These are the president's troops. The president now has a personal army. One definition of a police state is when the leader has seized control of the military to police citizens domestically.
As for me I wont be rioting I will be hiding under my bed

I suspect there will be a lot of us hiding under our beds if this happens. I've been reading the same things.
Well Patsy, I did just what you suggested and bought the wife a new washing machine. Of course I had to add a few dollars to the one I had LOL. :-)
Move over Patsy, I will be under there, too! This is scary stuff. I have read some of it online and I don't like what I am reading either.
Can you make room for three of us under there? I am leery of what will happen on election day.
I think we don't have any idea how bad things have gotten under Bush.
I can fully see some civil unrest around this election.
I also think they are very worried about another serious act of terrorism, as that's happened in just about just about every country that's changed leaders since 9/11.
