Government 101 Day - Trains Troops To Run American Cities

Program re-ignites fears that active duty military are being primed to deal with civil unrest in aftermath of economic turmoil

Local government officials are training active duty military soldiers to run communities, re-igniting fears that troops will be used to deal with civil unrest in the event of a total economic collapse or other national emergency in a newly militarized America.

"The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division met with City Manager Mary Corriveau, Mayor Jeff Graham and other City officials gaining insight about city infrastructure," reports ABC 50.

"Government 101 is a new program that Fort Drum has established to learn from local officials about what it takes to run a community efficiently."

The 10th Mountain Division is a light infantry division of the United States Army based at Fort Drum, New York that specializes in fighting under harsh terrain and weather conditions. The unit was deployed to Afghanistan in 2006 for one year and then to Iraq in April 2008.

The troops are being prepared for "A sitution where in essence they will become the local government," said Corriveau.

The program is ostensibly aimed at preparing troops to govern occupied areas of Afghanistan, but as we highlighted over the last two years, the real purpose behind the training could hit a lot closer to home.

A similar program that was announced back in September 2008 involving the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team was geared around training troops who had recently returned from Afghanistan to conduct "homeland patrols" which began on October 1st of that year.

According to an Army Times report, part of the troops' mission was to deal with "civil unrest and crowd control" by using non-lethal weapons against the American people. After the announcement caused controversy, the Army Times was forced to issue a clarification, claiming that the non-lethal weapons training was intended for use overseas, but the part about "civil unrest and crowd control," a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, was not retracted.

In November 2008, Northcom announced that over the course of the following three years, an additional 4,700 troops would be assigned for domestic homeland security missions.

THIS IS BULL SHIT. IT IS NOT THE BUSINESS OF THE MILITARY TO STUDY HOW TO RUN A CITY'S GOVERNMENT. THEIR JOB IS TO KILL PERIOD. If we are spending our dollars on training the military to take over city governments then we're going against the Constitution. We will regret ever putting the US Military in control of a town/city/or any form of a government. There is a separation like religion and there is a reason for that separation. Look at all the governments of the World with military control.

if you're in the military read the constitution, you swore an oath to protect it, not the new world order, not an illegal dictator or the world banking cartels.

C.U.N = Civil Unrest Now

Americans already know that we are living in a police state AKA Martial Law. When civil unrest happens it is of the utmost IMPORTANCE that we free our revolutionary brothas & sistas who are locked up in prisons within our counrty, so they too can assist us in bringing about the revolution.

It's clear those in the military need to read the Constitution and not the Patriot Act.

[joygarner]

yes, it's training to take over our cities. This guy reminds me of the Nazi brigades, SS, KGB, call it what you will. All signs of a planned dictatorial take over of our country and these RETARDED city managers are rolling out the red carpet for it, turning EVERYTHING over to the Feds, wholly betraying the citizens.
