Operations within American borders

Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A "Vision"€ of the Future | Small Wars Journal
With Darlington under their control, militia members quickly move beyond the city limits to establish 'check points' -- in reality, something more like choke points -- on major transportation lines.  Traffic on I-95, the East Coast'€™s main north-south artery; I-20; and commercial and passenger rail lines are stopped and searched, allegedly for "illegal aliens" Citizens who complain are immediately detained.  Activists also collect "tolls"€ from drivers, ostensibly to maintain public schools and various city and county programs, but evidence suggests the money is actually going toward quickly increasing stores of heavy weapons and ammunition.  They also take over the town web site and use social media sites to get their message out unrestricted.

Your Say

For all of you gung-ho, all-American patriots out there: this is what you are supporting. The government you all love so much is planning to fight a war on U.S. soil, and their enemy is "a high-profile and vocal minority [which] has directed the public’s fear and frustration at nonwhites and immigrants... right- wing demagogues... Americans... vehemently opposed to immigration, legal or illegal... angry whites... the “tea party” movement... those who "invoke the Declaration of Independence and argue that the current form of the federal government is not deriving its 'just powers from the consent of the governed'"... insurrectionists... militias, racist organizations... the Ku Klux Klan... anti-immigrant associations such as the Minutemen... right-wing groups."

Do you fall into one of these groups?

If so, a federal soldier with Old Glory on his shoulder is coming to shoot YOU.

The only questions are: when? where? and what are you going to do on that day?

Think about it the next time they play the national anthem and ask you to salute that flag.

Don't count on that. Lets see what the NCO's think about the conditions.

The authors of this slander are getting a fair amount of resistance and static from their less radical readers. The comments are enlightening.
The use of the Tea Party as bad guys is certainly gratuitous and pretty much tells us where the authors are politically.

When you have top notch "shit for brains" like these two then you no longer doubt the outcome of the conflicts they are involved in anywhere, including the "homeland". These two give good reason why the public school system, including universities, should be burned to the ground. Small wonder the pentagon celebrates gay and steps on the chaplins.

The NCOs at Waco didn't seem to object.

Lewis: You hysterical ninny. The US Army did not participate in Waco. That was BATF, the folks who gave you Fast and Furious.

ATF started Waco, FBI finished it, with tanks borrowed from the army.

@Fat Man at August 6, 2012 11:40 AM: On February 28, 1992, the first raid on the Branch Davidians was carried out by 75 ATF agents, 3 helicopters manned by 10 Texas National Guard counterdrug personnel, and other federal forces. Military weapons used included .223 AR-15 rifles, and the .308 bolt-action sniper rifle.

During the siege (March 1 through April 18), federal agents harassed the "compound" using PVF7B5 Night Vision Goggles, 2 UH-1 Helicopters supplied by the Nayional Guard, and with other military equipment.

During the final assault on April 19, military vehicles including 9-10 M3 Bradleys, 4-5 M728 Combat Engineering Vehicles (CEVs) armed with CS gas, 2 M1A1 Abrams tanks, 1 M88 tank retriever, a Britten-Norman Defender surveillance aircraft, Humvees and Army flatbed trucks), a Texas National Guard counterdrug UC-26 surveillance aircraft, and other vehicles from the Alabama National Guard. The assault itself was conducted by federal agents along with 2 observers from the British Army's 22 Special Air Service (SAS) regiment, 10 active duty Special Forces soldiers (acting as trainers/observers), and two senior Army officers as advisers. Over fifty active duty and National Guard soldier participated overall.

INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACTIVITIES OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TOWARD THE BRANCH DAVIDIANS", Report to the U.S. House of Representatives, 104th Congress, 2nd Session, Report 104-749 August 2, 1996.

Dear Fat Man: now point to your head and spell the abbreviation for Mountain Time.

With the exception of the racism/illegal alien motivation, how is what the Tea party is accused of doing in this hypothetical that different from what our various levels of government are actually doing to us today?


It is not the doing all that searching and seizing and taxing and tolling and propagandizing the government objects to, it is someone else getting to do it.
