US Military and Local Police Working Together on American Streets

The US military is being used to protect civilian events, like the 2012 Democratic and Republican Party National Conventions in Tampa, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina.

USNORTHCOM and Leon Panetta, US Secretary of Defense, has readily admitted that US armed forces will collaborate with local law enforcement “if called upon”.

In fact, more than 20,000 troops were brought home and readied for deployment within the US to assist in “civil unrest and crowd control”.

The US military will prop up the US Secret Service “for operational security reasons we do not discuss the numbers of military personnel and resources that are involved. Additionally, we do not share our operational plans,” said U.S. Navy Lt. Cdr. William G. Lewis.

The extent of use of military forces on civilian matters, as reported by mainstream media (MSM) have included the reallocation of hundreds of military police officers being trained to “assist local authorities” in investigation, crime scene and case building.

An estimate 500 military police and dogs will be used as “law enforcement battalions”. These soldiers, having served on tours in Afghanistan, will now be activated and based out of military bases across America to help local police forces.

National Guard has been witnessed in Virginia conducting “wellness checks” and patrolling residential neighborhoods as well as downtown city areas.

In Southern California, the TSA have been caught patrolling train stations and bus terminals.

The US Congress has given over $25 million in more funding to support unannounced TSA checkpoints.


According to one whistleblower: “We’re doing patrols in the parking lot with dogs, we’re even going as far out to the train station because the train station is connected to the airport here and we have guys walking around the train station, walking around the rental cars, we’re inspecting cars coming into the parking garage, I mean we’ve fully expanded – we’re no longer just at the gate and just at the security checkpoint.”

Military soldiers and TSA checkpoints are not the only tricks up the US government’s sleeve.

Researchers at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, led by Roland Brockers, have developed micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) that utilize a camera pointed at the ground to navigate, choose landing destinations and identify people and targets.

Operators have only to command the MAVs to a location, beginning with the starting point, and the specialized GPS system will guide the micro-drone through mapped out sites, dimensions and landscapes.

Other military defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and LaserMotive have combined to preform drone testing with the use of wireless energy technology.

While the US government is facilitating the military on American streets and the TSA are beefing up their range with new checkpoints and areas of patrol, the national debate over gun control continues.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) are bringing attention to the anti-gun purveyors like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who are calling for immediate restriction of gun sales to average Americans.

Thomas Menino, Mayor of Boston and member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, commented: “The best way to honor the memory of those who senselessly lost their lives in Aurora is to make it harder for this to ever happen again. Our political leaders need to lead – and we demand they act now.” NRA members are reporting, according to a new survey, that they are not only purchasing more guns because of recent events like the Batman shooting, but recognize that their purchases may put them on a terrorist watch list.
John Velleco, director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America, acknowledges that gun control is a heated topic “in the wake of this horrible shooting” but that “more gun control could actually make situations worse by making it harder for law-abiding folks to own and carry guns, which means for lunatics that there are more unarmed, potential victims.” Velleco admits that as of now, legislation is lacking in the gun control debate, however he recognizes that these anti-gun advocates are “kind of like vultures to take advantage of a situation to further an agenda that doesn’t get traction and that people don’t support.” The NRA has political pull in swing states, which is being suggested by the MSM as a deterrent from Obama to support stricter gun laws; however Obama and Clinton have both publicly stated their support of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) being discussed by the UN in conference in New York until July 27th.

Posse Comitatus

High powered weapons only belong in the hands of the police…who abuse their authority, make raids on the wrong house or person, assault peaceful protestors, use extremely aggressive behavior on subdued 'criminals', shoot unarmed innocent men without provocation, violate the constitution daily with stop and frisk acts on (mostly) black and hispanic men, lie to their superiors and plant bogus 'evidence' on their victims, use a quota system to pad their arrest and conviction rates for bonus's and pay raises, no longer protect and serve, but serve the corporations to which they belong and focus on increasing the profitability of the corporation through monies extorted from their victims through the complicity of the courts and prison syndicates. Yep. Disarm the population so that the police (and now the military violating the Posse Comitatus Act - thanks to the NDAA and the PATRIOT Act) will be the only armed forces to do the bidding of their 1% masters. Makes me feel very secure and safe in my home. Then there's the failure of Fast & Furious - that puts the hypocracy label all over the advocates of gun control, big time. Or Manuel Diez, shot by the police in Anaheim, California. Or the families in Pakistan and Afghanistan killed by drones. Or the 15 year old Arab American and his father, assassinated by our President's direct authorization - and blessing. Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Amen.

Who wants war apart from zionist israel? Active US Military surely must know by now that they work for war profiteers, criminals and imposters. They would better serve their nation by returning to the US and removing the real enemy from within..the hijackers of their nation..the same global zionist cabal network they take orders from.........go home while there is still something left, US is undergoing a roll-out of martial law....save yourselves..pretext for war in all foreign nations is based on zionist lies.

#1, this all sounds illegal to me, we are being treated like prisoners in our own country,it also sounds like Obama is getting ready for Martial law before the election, thats not going to work , he has no authority to even order anything like this, he is a proven usurper and the police ought to be taking care of that not going against their own people. This little tyrant Bloomberg acts as though he is running the world,Doesn't he know that if they had guns in that theater when the shooter broke in they could hav eshot him, in fact he probably wouldn't hav etried it if he knew they had guns. , he is so worried about what goes on in "his " city,maybe thats why he moved all his assets to dubai, that must save him a bundle. I can tell you one thing, time to get out of this country, you'd be better off anywhere but here. This is all on George Soros ' agenda, and I'm curious ot see what the oathkeepers have to say about soldiers fighting against their own people, while they were fighting a war for Obama , not for America, as he fought the people in the middle east Obama was bringing them in via the UN by the thousands. We have been robbed and we better do something about it this time, this is not funny and we have no one in Office to help us and we have no one running for President who will help us, the CFR are all backing Romney, These people have destroyed hti scountry, they hav edestroyed the only country anyone ever wanted to come to and live in, including Soros, now that he has helped ruin it he is complaining aobut it being more like Nazzi Germany, I thought thats whyt he liked, concentratrion camps and helpless prisoners, these people don't belong here, and we better start calling on our own resources instead of sitting around waiting for Obama tyo call the shots, even though he has no rihgt to send an email from the whitehouse. Maybe its a good thing they are doing this once and for all. I am tired of their threats.

This is why Americans need to vote for Ron Paul, even if he doesn't get on the ballot, put him on! He has spoken the truth for 30 years and has not changed in his beliefs.
