New rules published in the Federal Register would allow certain civilians to call American soldiers into action inside the U.S. to prevent environmental damage or respond to "special events" and "other domestic activities."

The alarming warning is contained in proposed rules published last week for the Department of Defense's "Defense Support of Civil Authorities" plan.

Under the U.S. Constitution, soldiers inside the country essentially are tasked with the responsibility of quelling "insurrections" and repelling invasions as well as making sure each state has access to the republican form of government.

But the new rules go far beyond that, essentially establishing a plan to activate the U.S. military inside the country to deal with social issues under provisions that appear to be devoid of any connection to the Constitution, according to an expert.

Not exactly news, check this out you might be more worried if you knew the other aspects which are in play. For every bit of info people see in the general media or internet, there is always more to it.

One thing to keep in mind, is every thing that gets released on open sources, is what they want us to know. Just imagine what they don't want us to...

The following is a collection from multiple search sources which seem to have gotten their info from an article by William M. Arkin. I suggest doing your own search if there are any doubts, the info has been unofficially verified, as the quotes below show.


JCS Conplan 0300-97, calls for "special-mission units in extra-legal missions to combat terrorism in the United States" based on top-secret orders that are managed by the military's Joint Staff and coordinated with the military's Special Operations Command and Northern Command, which is the lead military headquarters for domestic defense.

One of the officials said the units operated in the United States under "special authority" from either the president or the secretary of defense.

JCS CONPLAN 0300-97, Counter-Terrorism Special Operations Support to Civil Agencies in the event of a domestic incident (entire title classified), 14 January 1997, Top Secret

Special Category (SPECAT) plan for the use of special mission units (Joint Special Operations Command) in extra-legal missions to combat terrorism in the United States based on Top Secret JSCP tasking, managed by the J3 SOD (Special Operations Detachment) of the Joint Staff and coordinated with SOCOM and NORTHCOM. Likely updated in 2002.
("National Security Contingency Plans of the U.S. Government: Supplement to Code Names: Deciphering U.S. Military Plans, Programs, and Operations in the 9/11 World," January 2005, p. 20)

authorizing the Pentagon to employ special, ultra secret `anti-terrorist' military units on American soil for what the author says are `extra legal missions,'all under cover of `deep black' missions of which no records will be kept, and no questions asked.

The Pentagon's new special forces will be able to hire local armies and hit men, as well as run ops of which CIA knows nothing. Equally worrisome, the Pentagon's new `black' warriors will not be supervised by a normal military chain of command or some degree of Congressional oversight, as were CIA combat teams. The `black' forces run by Pentagon will largely operate outside of the control of the top brass, bypassing the chain of command under cover of secrecy and `need to know.'

Fiscal Year 2000 Defense Department Authorization Act, Public Law 106-65, permits the secretary of defense to authorize military forces to support civilian agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the event of a national emergency, especially any involving nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

In 1998, the Pentagon's top policy official, Walter B. Slocombe, acknowledged that the military had covert-action teams.

"We have designated special-mission units that are specifically manned, equipped and trained to deal with a wide variety of transnational threats," Mr. Slocombe told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "These units, assigned to or under the operational control of the U.S. Special Operations Command, are focused primarily on those special operations and supporting functions that combat terrorism and actively counter terrorist use of W.M.D. These units are on alert every day of the year and have worked extensively with their interagency counterparts."

Yeah guess that includes the marines helping the chp's in san bernidino county with their so called dui check points....
There is this lil thing called the posi comatatus act(sp?) was passed a very long time ago and says that no military can be active on US soil unless we are being invaded etc etc... in other words either bush and co passed yet another law bypassing it or they are breaking the law and not a dang thing ya can do about it. after all they have REALLY big guns
