On the subject of denial.........I was being sarcastic.....I know that most people live in a state of denial related to the reality of the world around them..........especially government.

Denial is a dangerous state of mind..........it allows the unthinkable to happen right under your nose.

As amazing as it may appear.........denial is a common condition across the full social spectrum.

Well it looks like it has quietly started. It's amazing that they can build, prepare and perform Martial Law/Police State right in front of the people, and still they have no clue to whats going on. Is this to discourage, prepare, and conspire against the Revolution March on DC: July 12th? Everyone put on your seat belts for the summer of 2008!

"I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat."


Martial Law is here!
I'm not sure how we missed this one... but as of 2 days ago, the United States is now in Martial Law... don't believe me? Straight from the Whitehouse's own website, and GWB's own pen: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases ... 626-4.html

I remind readers this means George can:
1. Cancel Elections
2. Suspend all Civil Rights
3. Attack ANYONE without a declaration from Congress (hint: Iran!)

The excuse or reason for the national emergency is fissionable material on the Korean Peninsula........there is fissionable material in Canada, the USA, England, France and Russia etc. etc.

So what's the big deal about that..........it sounds kind of fishy............like an excuse rather than a reason.

It does not tell us much.........you need fissionable material to run a nuclear power plant........as in enriched uranium.

So what's the big emergency that is being dealt with via diplomatic channels?

This does not sound like an emergency.........this sounds like a.....I want to push the envelope because I can.

[font=Georgia]I agree, i'm having troubles wrapping my head around the sense of this. It really does seem like just an excuse to declare a National Emergency, rather than a reason. Here's a little more on this:[/font] http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases ... 626-9.html

Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism

White House News

On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, I declared a national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). I took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks in New York, in Pennsylvania, and against the Pentagon committed on September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against United States nationals or the United States. Because the actions of these persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States, the national emergency declared on September 23, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2007. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

GEORGE W. BUSH

THE WHITE HOUSE,

September 20, 2007.

I have read several times now that "The Plan" for martial law is to have Americans destroy themselves first. The NWO is well aware of the 100 000 000 armed Americans that would not stand for martial law, they also know alot of police will not follow the martial law orders. The police are human, with children, families and friends, alot of them will not follow through. "The Plan" according to some is to let all hell break loose in America, having Americans kill off police, and police kill off Americans. Once most are killed off the real martial law troops will be brought in, the UN army. Imagine having troops from another nation kicking down your doors, hauling your families off, and then deciding who is expendable and who is worthy of being a NWO slave. I'm sure "The Plan" for Canada would be similar!

We Better Wake Up Now!!!

Bush Extends 9/11 National Emergency Yet Again
by Peter Dale Scott
September 4, 2008
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php? ... &aid=10065

Though few Americans realize it, Cheney and Rumsfeld worked through the 1980s and 1990s on emergency nuclear-response plans which allegedly suspended the American constitution and also Congress.[1] (Through these decades Rumsfeld was CEO of a major pharmaceutical firm, and in the later 1990s Cheney was CEO of Halliburton; but their private status did not deter them from continuing to exercise a supra-constitutional planning power conferred on them by Ronald Reagan.)



Even fewer Americans know that these rules, originally dealing with a nuclear attack on America, were extended by Reagan Executive Order 12656 to cover “any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attack, technological emergency, or other emergency, that seriously degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United States.”[2] And few Americans realize that at least some of these rules, known technically as Continuity of Government or COG rules, were invoked before 10:00 AM on September 11, 2001.[3]



As he did in 2007, President Bush has again, on August 28, 2008, continued for another year the national emergency first officially proclaimed on September 14, 2001, along with “the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency:”



Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks



Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines flight 93, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.



Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2008. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.



This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.



GEORGE W. BUSH

THE WHITE HOUSE,

August 28, 2008.[4]


Once again appropriate personnel in Congress should learn and review what those “powers and authorities” are, since almost certainly they include COG (Continuity of Government) rules. In 2007 National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD 51), issued by the White House, also extended for one year the emergency proclaimed in 2001; and it empowered the President to personally ensure "continuity of government."[5]



NSPD 51 also contained "classified Continuity Annexes" to "be protected from unauthorized disclosure." Congressman DeFazio twice requested to see these Annexes, the second time in a letter cosigned by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Christopher Carney. The White House denied these requests, claiming that the congressmen lacked the requisite clearances. But as I wrote earlier this year,



"Congress has a right to be concerned about Continuity of Government (COG) plans refined by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld over the past quarter century….The story, ignored by the mainstream press, involved more than the usual tussle between the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. Government. What was at stake was a contest between Congress's constitutional powers of oversight, and a set of policy plans that could be used to suspend or modify the constitution."[6]



Oliver North, who worked on COG planning with Rumsfeld and Cheney in the 1980s, was asked in the Iran-Contra Hearings about his work on an emergency plan “that would suspend the American constitution.” Democratic Senator Inouye, who was presiding, pounded his gavel and interjected that this was a “highly sensitive and classified matter,” not to be dealt with in an open hearing.[7] Congress has never discussed COG plans publicly since that time.



According to Wikipedia, “The National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651) is a United States federal law passed in 1976 to stop open-ended states of national emergency and formalize Congressional checks and balances on Presidential emergency powers. The act sets a limit of two years on states of national emergency. It also imposes certain "procedural formalities" on the President when invoking such powers, and provides a means for Congress to countermand a Presidential declaration of emergency and associated use of emergency powers (emphasis added).



Bush’s denial of the Homeland Security’s right to review the COG plans in the classified Appendices of NSPD-51 should have been seen as a constitutional crisis -- a line in the sand for Congress to assert its constitutional rights and duties. Now, one year later, I understand (although I cannot corroborate it from the Internet) that Congressman Kucinich has introduced or will introduce a bill for Congress, under the terms of the National Emergencies Act, to countermand the presidentially proclaimed national emergency. This is an important move, but it should not obviate the need for Congress to review rules which allegedly restrict its own powers under the constitution.



Between now and November the American electorate have an opportunity to present this demand to everyone running for office: that they will insist on vigorous congressional action to expose and dispose of these secret COG rules -- rules that allegedly suspend the American constitution.



Notes

[1] "One of the awkward questions we faced was whether to reconstitute Congress after a nuclear attack. It was decided that no, it would be easier to operate without them," said one of the COG planners in the 1980s, who spoke to James Mann (The Rise of the Vulcans, 141-42). James Bamford reported the same remark in his book Pretext for War (p. 74).


[2] The provisions of Executive Order 12656 of November 18, 1988, appear at 53 FR 47491, 3 CFR, 1988 Comp., p. 585, “Executive Order 12656—Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities,” http://www.archives.gov/federal-registe ... 12656.html. The Washington Post



(Gellman and Schmidt, “Shadow Government Is at Work in Secret,” March 1, 2002) later claimed, incorrectly, that Executive Order 12656 dealt only with “a nuclear attack.”

Here we go...Martial law on the horizon. Preparing for the October Surprise!

Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1
3rd Infantry’s 1st BCT trains for a new dwell-time mission. Helping ‘people at home’ may become a permanent part of the active Army
By Gina Cavallaro - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Sep 8, 2008 6:15:06 EDT

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.

Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.

It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. In August 2005, for example, when Hurricane Katrina unleashed hell in Mississippi and Louisiana, several active-duty units were pulled from various posts and mobilized to those areas.

But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

After 1st BCT finishes its dwell-time mission, expectations are that another, as yet unnamed, active-duty brigade will take over and that the mission will be a permanent one.

“Right now, the response force requirement will be an enduring mission. How the [Defense Department] chooses to source that and whether or not they continue to assign them to NorthCom, that could change in the future,” said Army Col. Louis Vogler, chief of NorthCom future operations. “Now, the plan is to assign a force every year.”

The command is at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., but the soldiers with 1st BCT, who returned in April after 15 months in Iraq, will operate out of their home post at Fort Stewart, Ga., where they’ll be able to go to school, spend time with their families and train for their new homeland mission as well as the counterinsurgency mission in the war zones.

Stop-loss will not be in effect, so soldiers will be able to leave the Army or move to new assignments during the mission, and the operational tempo will be variable.

Don’t look for any extra time off, though. The at-home mission does not take the place of scheduled combat-zone deployments and will take place during the so-called dwell time a unit gets to reset and regenerate after a deployment.

The 1st of the 3rd is still scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010, which means the soldiers will have been home a minimum of 20 months by the time they ship out.

In the meantime, they’ll learn new skills, use some of the ones they acquired in the war zone and more than likely will not be shot at while doing any of it.

They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.

Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.

The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.

“It’s a new modular package of nonlethal capabilities that they’re fielding. They’ve been using pieces of it in Iraq, but this is the first time that these modules were consolidated and this package fielded, and because of this mission we’re undertaking we were the first to get it.”

The package includes equipment to stand up a hasty road block; spike strips for slowing, stopping or controlling traffic; shields and batons; and, beanbag bullets.

“I was the first guy in the brigade to get Tasered,” said Cloutier, describing the experience as “your worst muscle cramp ever — times 10 throughout your whole body.

“I’m not a small guy, I weigh 230 pounds ... it put me on my knees in seconds.”

The brigade will not change its name, but the force will be known for the next year as a CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF (pronounced “sea-smurf”).

“I can’t think of a more noble mission than this,” said Cloutier, who took command in July. “We’ve been all over the world during this time of conflict, but now our mission is to take care of citizens at home ... and depending on where an event occurred, you’re going home to take care of your home town, your loved ones.”

While soldiers’ combat training is applicable, he said, some nuances don’t apply.

“If we go in, we’re going in to help American citizens on American soil, to save lives, provide critical life support, help clear debris, restore normalcy and support whatever local agencies need us to do, so it’s kind of a different role,” said Cloutier, who, as the division operations officer on the last rotation, learned of the homeland mission a few months ago while they were still in Iraq.

Some brigade elements will be on call around the clock, during which time they’ll do their regular marksmanship, gunnery and other deployment training. That’s because the unit will continue to train and reset for the next deployment, even as it serves in its CCMRF mission.

Should personnel be needed at an earthquake in California, for example, all or part of the brigade could be scrambled there, depending on the extent of the need and the specialties involved.

Other branches included
The active Army’s new dwell-time mission is part of a NorthCom and DOD response package.

Active-duty soldiers will be part of a force that includes elements from other military branches and dedicated National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Teams.

A final mission rehearsal exercise is scheduled for mid-September at Fort Stewart and will be run by Joint Task Force Civil Support, a unit based out of Fort Monroe, Va., that will coordinate and evaluate the interservice event.

In addition to 1st BCT, other Army units will take part in the two-week training exercise, including elements of the 1st Medical Brigade out of Fort Hood, Texas, and the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade from Fort Bragg, N.C.

There also will be Air Force engineer and medical units, the Marine Corps Chemical, Biological Initial Reaction Force, a Navy weather team and members of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

One of the things Vogler said they’ll be looking at is communications capabilities between the services.

“It is a concern, and we’re trying to check that and one of the ways we do that is by having these sorts of exercises. Leading up to this, we are going to rehearse and set up some of the communications systems to make sure we have interoperability,” he said.

“I don’t know what America’s overall plan is — I just know that 24 hours a day, seven days a week, there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that are standing by to come and help if they’re called,” Cloutier said. “It makes me feel good as an American to know that my country has dedicated a force to come in and help the people at home.”

I somehow stumbled on this board and find it very interesting to see Canadians watching what is happening and waiting for the shoe to drop! Most Americans are blind to what is going on and call you crazy if you try to inform them.

I'm American and live in Louisiana. I experienced the excessive force of govt troops after Katrina and just recently endured another short term of martial law after Hurricane Gustav hit us in August. Until you've lived through it, you just cannot understand what a frightening & uneasy feeling it gives you.

They watch you everywhere you go and they can stop & question anyone for any reason. They controlled all of the supply areas and decided who got ice, gas, food, and how much. If they determined that you did not need as much as someone else, that was it - there was nothing you could do to appeal that decision.

We were also under curfew for weeks - meaning no one could be on the street after 6 pm. In fact, specific instructions were given out over the radio that if you were out after 6 pm, you should expect to be "CHALLENGED" at gunpoint. :-{

We were told the troops were needed to curb looting, yet there was not one single reported incident of any looting in our city. They arrested hundreds of local citizens who were just trying to buy gas, food, or leave town. It was a very scary experience and one I do not wish to relive.


But this is why I really registered here .......

No one will believe me that something bad is happening RIGHT NOW. Through alternative news networks we've found out that Bush has rescinded Posse Comitatus and is installing National Guard troops in major cities. His reasoning is that he wants to quell any rioting due to fears brought about by the economy tanking.

This actually started a couple of weeks ago. We noticed HUUUUUGE military transport planes flying veeery low over our houses every night. As I sit here right now, groups of helicopters are buzzing our neighborhood. What the hell are they doing???!!! We are completely freaked out, wondering what plan is being put in motion. Learning that they are stockpiling thousands upon thousands of chemical resistant body bags in Atlanta, Georgia does not help our nerves.


We keep thinking we should make a run for the Mexican border, but then what would we do? Where would we go? For how long? Is it a matter of riding out an uncomfortable storm, or is it truly a matter of life or death - avoiding an American gulag?

What makes it worse is that no one around here believes in our fears. They brush us off as conspiracy theorists & tell us the kind of things we fear could never happen here. I don't believe that. I saw too many things during Katrina, and heard way too many lies at that time, to believe that.


Well, I guess I just wanted to put this down in print somewhere. I don't want to disappear without someone knowing the truth of what is going on.

I've been watching huge military planes flying very slowly overhead tonight. They are flying so slowly it appears at times they are almost hovering.

I've never seen any air activity like this around here before. Other than a few random domestic flights, there is very little air traffic near us - and certainly never any military. These planes are huge, huge, HUGE! What are they doing???!!!

:(

Welcome to the forums, thanks for sharing your story. It's really quite incredible isn't it.

In "times of emergency" the us military can operate on Canadian soil, and vice versa. Also, we basically already have a North American Union... so we're in the same boat. It's quite tense.

I'm not afraid, I know there are bad things in the works.. but I think a lot of people are starting to become aware that all is not right. That sentiment will spread, and we just have to keep exposing truth.

Take care friend, stay safe.

A lot of the strange military aircraft around these parts have been related to some sort of atmospheric research project that the NATO countries have going. However, I'm sure they are preparing for other things. It's really hard to say.
