Malachi Smith's List: U.S. MILITARY

"Normally plans like this are dusted off and given a fresh look," said a defense official, who asked not to be identified.

"There is always contingency planning that takes place over a continuous period. When a moment of crisis seems to appear, they are looked at with fresh eyes at that time," the official said.

Military.com published Wynne's editorial yesterday:

We could have flown Global Hawks or U-2s on the Russian-Georgian border
to signal our watchfulness to the Russians. We could have escorted
these assets with the F-22s, which fly at high enough altitude to
operate as a defense of unmanned assets, or can operate to defend key
assets in Georgia. If the Russians determined to invade, we could have
strengthened air defenses of key Georgian positions, provided fighter
re-enforcements, and placed Special Forces or Marines on the ground in
the national capital.

“I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered,” said Cloutier, describing the experience as “your worst muscle cramp ever — times 10 throughout your whole body.

“I’m not a small guy, I weigh 230 pounds ... it put me on my knees in seconds.”

When Democrats took control of Congress, they promised to make increasing the size of the military one of their top legislative priorities in 2007.

While their incessant threats to withdraw troops from Iraq found media headlines, they’ve been working on increasing the size of the military with noncitizens.

This reeks to high heaven of some pureed-brain, pentagon putz’s wet dreams of turning the US Military into some UN circus adjunct.

Analysts warning that a large number of noncitizens under arms could jeopardize national security, and the potential for rankling the courageous, all-volunteer American troops already serving their country, make foreign recruitment for the US military a hot topic.

Loyal to Obama…tick. Patriotic towards America…Ugandans? Humane? Well, let’s just hope he doesn’t turn them loose on Americans themselves.

The Dearborn Islamic Festival..North America’s largest celebration of intolerance and barbarity, was held last week in Michigan. The FBI, DHS,  CIA, and every branch of the US military had recruitment booths at the event.

Ostensibly the Feds were recruiting “translators”, however,  it soon became evident that the only real criteria for recruitment (and instant citizenship/passport) was adherence to the “one true faith”.

Oh, …and University educated, Arabic speaking Jews and Israeli need not apply.

Another fine example of “No borders” Bush’s “jobs Americans won’t do”.

Odd you should say that, but someone I mentioned this to immediately saw that particular aspect of it. When this government needs to control us, impose martial law, confiscate guns -whatever reasons that they will fabricate-there will be soldiers who refuse to shoot American citizens. But Ugandans and the like? They’ll have no such problem.

Hey Michael,

The Dearborn Islamic Festival..North America’s largest celebration of intolerance and barbarity, was held last week in Michigan. The FBI, DHS,  CIA, and every branch of the US military had recruitment booths at the event.

I know I ought not be shocked, but yet I am. Sickened actually…because who can fight it? It’s a cancer that has been found too late. I wonder when they will finally drop the pretense of fighting “terror”… what a freaking farce.

“When this government needs to control us, impose martial law, confiscate guns -whatever reasons that they will fabricate-there will be soldiers who refuse to shoot American citizens. But Ugandans and the like? They’ll have no such problem.”

There you go.  We’ve learned a lot recently. Most US soldiers will refuse such orders…………..which is why we need foreign and foreign born forces. (Friends from the Midwest were invited to New Orleans for what they thought was Katrina relief…only to be ordered to confiscate legal firearms……these particular folks, Missouri cops, refused and returned to KC. …..Others, the big city types, gleefully complied.      http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/08/national/nationalspecial/08cnd-storm.html

Michael-

You may be familiar with Fjordman’s essays on Eurabia.

He posits that a combination of multiculturalism (with it’s attendant speech restrictions and decimation of local culture) and massive  immigration, (primarily muslim and African) are being used to subdue and ultimately suppress the existing native populace who may cling ,to borrow from the Obamanite, to their traditions and fight for their sovereign borders.

I just read this over at Aurora’s..freaking unbelievable!

0f course, they would have no sympathy for Americans.

Michael..thanks for the link…I had heard this but never actually read it..Thanks again.

Zee, I have read and did a post once on the detention camps..Guess that would be a good place to put all of us ‘unruly citizens’.

but I am miserable now…sigh!

I know exactly what you mean Angie. I have been trying to work on a post about Africans and what Obama means to them,this sense that America will now “pay” if he is elected seems to be an all too common sentiment .

The article details:

They'll learn new skills, use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at while doing any of it.

They may be called upon 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. . . .

The 1st BCT's soldiers also will learn how to use "the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded," 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.

"It's a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they're fielding. They've been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it."

The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.

"I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered," said Cloutier, describing the experience as "your worst muscle cramp ever -- times 10 throughout your whole body". . . .

The brigade will not change its name, but the force will be known for the next year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF (pronounced "sea-smurf").

Bovard:

"Martial law" is a euphemism for military dictatorship.

Backers of reform said the move toward loosening restriction reflects a change in societal attitudes.

"There has been a sea change in the way this issue is viewed, especially in light of our national security needs," said Democratic lawmaker Ellen Tauscher.

"Of course, the economy has to be the first priority, but it's a matter of developing a plan on how to move forward successfully," said Sarvis, who predicted a new law within the year.

"I take the president-elect on his word," he said. "I think he'll do it."
