Local or Federal Civilian Control?
[The military’s top brass is looking into
controlling the U.S. civilian population in case of economic disaster]
"It’s a study currently under consideration by the nation’s top military
intelligence leaders and it’s called 'Unified Quest 2011'. Reduced to
its simplest meaning the exercise assumes that nation states are failing
due to economic mismanagement and the civilian population must be
controlled by the military. What is unclear is why the military assumes
that the civilian police authorities are not up to the job of
maintaining public order. What is also not clear is why the military
believes that it can ignore the Posse Comitatis Act, which forbids the
military from acting as police within the borders of the U.S. There will
be a meeting next month where the nation’s top brass will discuss the
possibility of seizing control of law enforcement."

Would you want
your local sheriff or
the feds to call the shots in your town should people get out of
control?
Quietly—even stealthily—in the opening days of the
New Year, President Barack Obama has set up a “Council of Governors”.
Like the 30-plus czars running America with neither the people’s nor the
congress’s blessings, the Council of Governors is already a done deal.
Response to comment [from other]: "In the midst of the
chaos, ordinary civvies could abolish the government."
How do you think the military would respond in a civilian crisis? "Is this a first step towards Martial Law, or a tie to the InterPol, RAND National Police Force stuff we’ve been hearing about,” asked a Texas patriot who tipped off Canada Free Press (CFP) after finding news of the new Council of Governors on Twitter..."
