The Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security recently hosted a teleconference for law enforcement agencies and associations such as the National Association of Chiefs of Police to discuss the Obama Administration’s interest in using the military during “emergencies.”
Fortunately, NewsWithViews.com had exclusive access to the discussion and the explanations by Homeland Security and Defense Departments officials.
“My initial reaction is: why are we allowing federal troops to basically invade the sovereignty of individual states when each state has its own law enforcement agencies and each state possesses an armed and trained National Guard and, in the case of some states such as New York, a trained militia?” according to New York police officer Edna Aquino.
“We have not used armed federal troops in New York since the Civil War when Union troops and Navy battleships attacked dissenters who opposed conscription by the Union Army,” she added.

They are pushing this country to Civil War and Obama knows it. Why else would he swear in on Abraham Lincoln's bible?
He wants to take over the US and doesn't want states anymore, He just wants to make the USA just America. He is a dictator plain and simple. Fortunately I don't think very many people are going to play along with his plan.

This comes at a time when President Obama PROMISED to bring our troops home, yet instead the National Guards, which are used for emergency situations in the U.S., and sometimes when necessary for a large war if the President thinks we need them. But in this case, the oposite is happening. There are hardly any battles in Iraq anymore. in Afghanistan thinks might escalate but not to the point that so many National Guards are needed. IMO SOMETHING is about to happen.

The largest deployment of National Guards in a time when we don't really need to do that, meanwhile the Obama administration is making radical changes in the U.S. to the point that he is not upholding, and defending the Constitution anymore, to me it means they might be about to do something to further restrict our rights, and instead of calling the National Guard, They will call in "Blackwater" which uses and has used "mercenaries" to do their job.
I hope I am wrong.

Well, you might be correct, but there are millions of PO'd American's right now paying attention to what is going on.
Things are moving so rapidly that people are aware of what is happening, you just don't hear about any of it. The people are seeing parallels between Nazi Germany and what is happening now.
some states such as New York, a trained militia?
Originally posted by Dr LoveAs AJ and others have shown, they've had foreign troops training "in cooperation" with American authorities for awhile now. When the time comes they will be the ones in your streets under the guise of a UN peacekeeping force, and they will most likely drop you in a heartbeat, opposed to the high number of US soldiers who wouldn't. They want as few US soldiers operating here as possible. And yes, I'm sure they'll be plenty of mercenaries running rampant as well, raping (your wife, daughter, g/f) and pilaging at will.
Peace

That being said, if the US military were ordered against the American people they would be more likely to stage a military coup and overthrow Obama then they would be to attack their own people. Hence the reason why Obama wants his "Civilian National Security Force" to act his private army.

This is true... but remember that the troops at Kent State didn't seem to hesitate opening fire on a bunch of unarmed college kids.

Not to mention if there was another terrorist attack on this country(god forbid) over half the country would instantly turn on the government.
