Demand: Americans Purchase a Gun Every 1.5 Seconds
Just a couple
years ago we reported that the U.S. military was involved in war
gaming scenarios that included training for such things as large
scale economic collapse and civil unrest. Photos from the training
exercises showed
simulated situations that included protesters holding up “We
Need Food Now” signs. It was a clear sign that the government
is preparing for just such an event, and that they were training
military personnel to respond in the capacity
of a domestic police force.
The warnings
we and others issued were ignored by most of the population and
dismissed by many as nothing more than conspiracy theory and fear
mongering.
A few years
on, the military continues to step up exercises focused on urban
deployment and as recently as last month held live exercises in
heavily populated US metropolitan areas.
Residents of
Miami and Houston were treated to troop mobilizations, machine gun
fire, and gunships
flying over their cities. After concerned callers reported the
activities to local news stations, the media quickly moved to calm
fears of a terrorist attack or invasion. They smiled while they
did it and shrugged off the unprecedented displays as just your
average, everyday military exercise.
Except, of
course, the US military, up until recently, has never openly trained
in U.S. cities, and especially not in scores of cities with training
spread over such a short period of time.
Which begs
the question, why are the military and local law enforcement holding
realistic urban training exercises on the streets of America when
they could do it at any of the hundreds of training facilities around
the world?

I was once
stationed at Camp Lejuene, NC. As a Navy Corpsman, I helped care
for Marines. I tell you this because inevitably there will be
those that assume I hold some anti-military motive.
…
At
no time during my time there were “realistic urban training” exercises
conducted in towns and cities. This is a recent development.
…
The training
has been coordinated with local, county and state agencies and
officials, including the Ridgeland police and fire departments,
according to a Marine Corps news release.
Although
there is no danger, Farao said residents should stay away if they
see training under way or uniformed personnel.
Realistic
Urban Training is happening all over the U.S.
In
Miami, Florida on January 26, 2013, Army Blackhawk helicopters
swooped through the city at night, firing door-guns and chasing
make-believe bad guys like something out of an action movie. The
fired blanks echoed off of the buildings, scaring many residents
into taking cover. The local news reported excitedly
about the exercise, stating it was only a drill and for residents
not to be concerned. However, there was no journalistic follow
up asking hard questions. Such as, who authorized an exercise
without informing the public? Why conduct this type of training
in a populated U.S. city and put citizens at risk? Isn’t this
a violation of Posse
Comitatus? No hard follow up questions were asked, and to
my knowledge, have not been since.
Not even
when the same exercise occurred in Houston, Texas on January 29,
2013. The U.S. Army along with other agencies took over the Carnegie
Vanguard High School in Houston on Monday. Alarmed residents called
police and complained about gunshots and helicopters. No details
were provided about the training. Watch the KTRK-TV
Houston report and hear how alarmed residents responded after
hearing gunshots and seeing military helicopters flying over their
homes.
…
According
to Sgt. 1st Class Michael Noggle, an Army spokesman based at Fort
Bragg, N.C., “We were invited by the city of Galveston to conduct
joint training exercises to enhance the effectiveness of both
services in order to better protect the residents of Galveston.”
He went on
to say in an email that “The purpose of the realistic urban training
is to give our Special Operators an opportunity to hone their
skills in a controlled, but unfamiliar, realistic urban environment
that cannot be replicated with the bare-boned facades found on
military installation ranges.”
I’ve highlighted
a few examples, but there are more. In a search I came upon these
others. Los
Angeles, CA, Plainville
and Worchester,
Massachusetts. As reported in the other stories, residents were
unaware of the drills until helicopters swooped over their neighborhoods.
And here’s more: Minneapolis,
MN, and this in East
Saint Louis, MO. There are many more, but these links provide
a foundation for further research.
I spoke with
a high-ranking, military source in DHS.
Preferring
to remain unnamed for obvious reasons, he told me, “DHS and DOD
are conducting desensitizing exercises all across the U.S.,” he
paused, then added, “we’re being prepared for mass civil unrest
in major U.S. cities. DOD will be expected to help – when we’re
requested.”
I
asked if there was a timeline for expecting civil unrest in our
cities and why should we expect it to begin with.
I
was told that there were many reasons, but that the continued
devaluation of our currency, the predicted history-setting prices
for gasoline this summer and the continued gun control debate
are forming a perfect storm of civil discontent. When this storm
hits, it will most assuredly produce mass casualties. When does
DHS expect this to happen?
This
summer.
From a high-ranking
source deep within DHS, who has strong DOD ties, we are being
told that joint DOD-local law enforcement exercises are to desensitize
us to military occupation. When asked if there was any concern
about violating Posse Comitatus, he stated “no concern at all,”
and added, “That’s been a non-issue for a long time.”

We are hearing
similar
reports from DHS, DOD, and law enforcement sources known by
numerous investigators and reporters in alternative media. Many
of the sources have requested to remain anonymous, prompting skeptics
to call it bunk. However, it’s hard to believe that there
is nothing to this. Furthermore, if you were privy to details that
your government was about to implement a massive police state and
past whistle blowers were imprisoned and had their lives destroyed,
would you be willing to share your name and put your family in harm’s
way?
As noted by
Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones in a recent report at Infowars.com,
there is a strong possibility that whatever
the US government is preparing for has been orchestrated by the
elite, who hope to benefit in the form of money, resources and
power, something we’ve seen throughout history:
Every
indication clearly suggests that authorities in the United States
are preparing for widespread civil unrest. This trend has not
emerged by accident – it is part of a tried and tested method
used by the banking elite to seize control of nations, strip them
of their assets, and absorb them into the new world order.
There is
a crucial economic imperative as to why the elite is seeking to
engineer and exploit social unrest.
…
One
of the final steps of the process, the “IMF riot,” detailed how
the elite would plan for mass civil unrest ahead of time that
would have the effect of scaring off investors and causing government
bankruptcies.
“This
economic arson has its bright side – for foreigners, who can then
pick off remaining assets at fire sale prices,” writes Palast,
adding, “A pattern emerges. There are lots of losers but the clear
winners seem to be the western banks and US Treasury.”
In
other words, the banking elite creates the very economic environment
– soaring interest rates, spiraling food prices, poverty, lower
standards of living – that precipitates civil unrest – and then
like a vulture swoops down to devour what remains of the country’s
assets on the cheap.
We
have already seen this process unfold in places like Bolivia,
Ecuador, Indonesia, Greece and Argentina. Next on the chopping
block are Spain, Italy, Britain and France – all of which have
seen widespread riots over the last two years.
…
Given
the clear economic motive for stirring unrest in the United States,
we’d expect to see preparations for domestic disorder in numerous
different guises – and indeed the signs are everywhere.

Infowars Report
Most Americans
cannot possibly fathom an
America where the economy has collapsed, the dollar is valueless,
and food is so
expensive that it can’t be had by the majority of the
populace.
They can’t
imagine any situation that would require the deployment of military
soldiers into their towns and cities.
They are clueless
to the existence of the National Defense Authorization Act which
legalizes the indefinite detention of terror suspects. They think
the Patriot Act is legislation that applies only to Al Queda. They
don’t know, nor do they care, that President Obama has signed
numerous Executive Orders designed
for continuity of government operations and martial law.
None of them
realize that the President himself is now creating kill lists and
justifications for why American
citizens can be targeted by military drone strikes without charge
or trial.
For these people,
with their heads buried in the sand, America today is the same as
it has always been.
When their
idealistic paradigm of stable 9-5 employment, ample retirement funds,
weekend barbecues, and Constitutional protections comes to end,
what do you think they are going to do?
What will they
do should stock
markets melt down, the US dollar crashes or the economy collapses
to Great Depression levels?
They will panic.
They will riot in the streets. They will turn violent. Their whole
world will be turned upside down and devolve
into violence and bloodshed.
The government
knows this. Homeland security knows this. The military knows this.
Any student of history knows this.
We are now
being desensitized to the response should it ever come to pass.
