(Prison Planet)-Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that final steps towards a full Military Dictatorship of the United States have been taken with the US Army announcing USARNORTH has now reached ‘full operational capacity’ and is now ready to

“Execute homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions”, and “Conduct the Army-to-Army portion of the theater cooperation mission with Canada and Mexico”.
According to these reports, the first of the USANORTH plans for the total military takeover of the United States, from its few remaining civilian overseers, rest with a new series of draconian laws recently enacted by their top Military Leaders and which, among other things, suspends the right of habeas corpus for Americans, and which the American Military Leaders have ordered their courts to disallow, and as we can read as reported by the Washington Post News Service in their article titled "Court Told It Lacks Power in Detainee Cases", and which says
"Moving quickly to implement the bill signed by President Bush this week that authorizes military trials of enemy combatants, the administration has formally notified the U.S. District Court here that it no longer has jurisdiction to consider hundreds of habeas corpus petitions filed by inmates at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

To the second part of the USANORTH plan for the unsuspecting American people, Conduct the Army-to-Army portion of the theater cooperation mission with Canada and Mexico”, we can read from the Council on Foreign Relations report that first outlined the merger of the independent Nations of the United States, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union, and which says:

When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries. The Council-sponsored Task Force applauds the announced "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America," but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it".

As reported by an American dissident writer, Chris Floyd, in his October 17th report titled "Sentimental Education: Academia Signs Up for Tracking Down Dissent", and which says, "Why is the United States government spending millions of dollars to track down critics of George W. Bush in the press? And why have major American universities agreed to put this technology of tyranny into the state's hands?www.prisonplanet.com...
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas (Army News Service, Oct 19, 2006) – The Army’s newest service component command has a dedicated mission unlike any other – defending the homeland and supporting civil authorities during times of crisis.
The U.S. Army North achieved full operational capability Oct. 16 following a year of intense planning, manning, equipping and training.
“We have come a long way,” said Lt. Gen. Robert T. Clark, U.S. Army North commander. “We conducted a robust training and exercise program and have worked to establish critical relationships with federal, state and local partners in disaster response.”
The command is based at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and is the Army service component of U.S. Northern Command. Its mission includes homeland defense, defense support of civil authorities, and theater security cooperation activities with Canada and Mexico.
To conduct day-to-day disaster response planning, the command has aligned a defense coordinating officer and a 5-person defense coordinating element with each of the ten Federal Emergency Management Agency regions.
The command is also able to task-organize up to two task forces that, with augmentation, can become joint task forces and deploy within an operational area to command and control Defense Department forces responding to homeland defense or civil support operations.
In addition, the command oversees the training and readiness of Civil Support Response Teams, National Guard units dedicated to weapons-of-mass destruction and other disaster response missions.
During the last year of building toward full operating capability, U.S. Army North performed various civil support missions, to include providing support during the 2006 wildfire season and the 2005 hurricane season.
Upcoming events for the command include Golden Guardian, a California emergency response exercise in November, and Vigilant Shield ’07, a U.S. Northern Command exercise in December.

If the U.S. was ever invaded by a foreign army, I for one would be glad that they have a plan in place; this isn't something that could be handled by local law enforcement agencies.

Well as far as im concerned it's already a fascist government, it's only a matter of time before they don't need a mask of democracy to hide their true intentions. [Edited by Don W]

I am scared of the volunteer army. We have it because we were not able to carry out the forced draft of men (and women) fairly. Scions of the rich and famous (R&Fs) were able to avoid the hazards of war by various tactics, and include among others, Vice President Dan Quayle and President George Bush.
Back to the volunteer army. To whom would the volunteers be loyal? The abstract notion of a constitution or to the men who sign their paychecks? Men to whom they owe their own personal financial future? The volunteer army is by law under severe penalties, required to obey “all lawful orders” of their superiors. Young, immature soldiers may not be able to resist the sophisticated propaganda that the miliary establishment may inflict upon them.
I hope we go back to a draft army.
Does anyone have the Iraq Constitution? It is said to be a Neo Con document written in hell. Non-conspiratorialists allege this was the real reason Bush43 went to war in Iraq. A Neo-Con grand experiential laboratory. Intended to “prove” their ideas were correct!

You forgot to mention Bill Clinton, John Edwards, and others. [Edited by Don W]
No regular soldier ever got rich serving in the military. And propaganda is one thing; by your own admission, they are required to obey all lawful orders. What's wrong with that?
I hope we go back to a draft army.
You are in the distinct minority. Most folks want a dedicated soldier protecting them, not some dissident.
I Don't Blame You, J/B, For Being Ashamed of Bush43
Hmm? So who’s in power in 2006? Well, say what you will, but Clinton was smart enough to get into Oxford. Not insignificant. That took a lot more brains and energy than it took to get into the Alabama Air Guard! And then to go AWOL.
I never said “rich” I said their “personal financial future” depended on the man who signs their pay checks. Not on their view of the Constitution. All military types have always been subjected to propaganda including your writer who has 5 years active duty in the Air Force and 3 years in the AF Reserves and 2 years in the Army National Guard. How else do you get an otherwise sensible person to charge an enemy machine gun nest? Or to crew an M4 tank in Europe in WW2? Or fly a B17 over Germany? The 8th AF lost more men - in raw numbers - than any other equivalent sized unit in WW2. In a word, propaganda. Soldiers are not taught to question authority but to obey as trained. Others do the heavy lifting of thinking. Yes, it can be no other way. Basic pay for grade E7, over 20 years, is $3,565.80 per month. $42,789 a year. Plus allowances, incentives, etc. Retirement pay is 50%, or $1,782.90 per month, for life. $21,384 a year. COLA’d.
Have you ever read your own writing? Can’t you see the “agenda-thought” you are mimicking?
Draftees got us through the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War One and the last real war, World War Two. The draft served us well in Korea and only fell apart in the Vietnam War. That had nothing to do with the draft, but 1) the unfair way it was operated by the politicians, and 2) only when the men in the mud discovered the lies being told at home.
That was and is the root cause of the breakdown of the draft. Not soldiers who won’t park their brains at the door.
