Marshall Law?
Naomi Woolf on CNN repeats the same suggestion based on US army division being stationed on US territory... to put down a revolt after fabricated election results.
Has this stuff any credence at all?
Cheers

2. I believe that would be martial law.
Marshall Law is sort of what we've been living under for a long time - U.S. takes whatever U.S. wants.

18. The Marshall Plan

by Blue Öyster Cult

In a dark horse town in the middle of the west
Where Friday takes so long to arrive
Johnny wakes up dreaming turns on the radio
Then he jumps up plays guitar in the mirror
Starts his day with a rock and roll pose
Tonight’s the night that Susie and he
Are going to a rock and roll show

Tonight! I’m going to see some rock and roll!
Yeah my favorite group is playing!
Tonight! I’m going to see some rock and roll!

Well it’s showtime and he’s caught up in the crowd
He hates the crush but he loves the music loud
He reaches out and Susie’s disappeared
Now Johnny’s standing on the corner after the show
Looking for his Susie dear
But there goes his Susie—in the band’s limousine!
Yeah, well that’s the way it goes at these rock and roll shows

That’s the way it goes—It’s rock and roll
That’s the way it goes—It’s rock and roll

Now Susie’s gone, and Johnny hears the thunder
As he rolls another number and he counts
He counts the times he’s felt himself to be the hero
’Cause ever since he was a boy
He’s heard about adventure
As he looks into the mirror now he knows
He must be the star and play guitar like thunder
Find Susie at his rock and roll show

Boy, if I only had a good guitar and a big amp
Boy, wouldn’t be somebody else taking my girl away…tell ya
I know what I should do…I’ll put an ad in the paper
Get a few other guys who want to play as much as I do
Tell ya, I ain’t playing no surf music
I’m gonna play some heavy music
I’m gonna play it bad
I’m gonna play it loud
I know just what I want it to sound like
It’s gonna sound like…
It’s gonna sound like…

This is Don Kirshner
And tonight on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert
A new phenomenon in the music world
With six million albums to his credit in just two short years
My good friend, here’s Johnny!

Now Johnny became a legend in his time
Found it easier to live in pain
Half a hero in a hard-hearted game
Now it’s showtime and he’s caught up in the flow
He hates the rush but he needs the music so
Still he reaches out but Susie’s disappeared
Well that’s the way it goes at these rock and roll shows

It’s rock and roll
That’s the way it goes—It’s rock and roll
That’s the way it goes—It’s rock and roll
That’s the way it goes—It’s rock and roll
That’s the way it goes

17. Mods - Can we bring back at least a " Silly" rating?
Seriously, way too many people reflexively see this headline and then extrapolate their worst fears with any actual thought process intervening.

Let's go back and look at the actual listing:


Beginning in October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the United States for the first time to serve as an on-call federal response in times of emergency. The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent thirty-five of the last sixty months in Iraq, but now the unit is training for domestic operations. The unit will soon be under the day-to-day control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. The Army Times reports this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The paper says the Army unit may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control. The soldiers are learning to use so-called nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.


What does this say -- a brigade. This mean 3,000 to 5,000 troops, or about 1/10 the size of the New York City Police Department. And they're going to enforce a seizure a power throughout the entire nation?

19. It not just a division, its a COMBAT Brigade in "Full Battle Rattle"
In a few days, on October 1st, for the first time ever in the history of modern Army command, the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will deployed on US soil for DOMESTIC Operations.

A full COMBAT infantry brigade patrolling DOMESTIC soil in "FULL BATTLE RATTLE".

The question that then begins to be asked is why wouldn't a COMBAT brigade be sent to the war zone and National Guard units be returned to take up the Civil Defense aspects related to this deployment, UNLESS THE COMBAT ASPECT WAS WHAT THEY WERE BEING DEPLOYED FOR.

The force will now be known as CMRF Consequence Management Response Force

CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT?


One of the main thrusts of the force is COMBATING CIVIL UNREST, using non lethal or other necessary force.

From the Army Times:

Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.

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.”

COMBAT BRIGADE say that again COMBAT BRIGADE not Civil Defense National Guard. WHY A COMBAT BRIGADE ON US SOIL?
