Q. Fabius Pictor said...: It appears to me that the Army and Marine Corps have decided that a large portion of their future budgets will come from the business of domestic repression.

The suppression of revolts historically has been the main function of the militaries of empires in decline.; August 30, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Anonymous said...: Ok I live in Ky and this has gone on for at LEAST 30 years.So why the big deal now? they started the joint anti-drug task force about 1980 Thats NG/KSP/FBI/DEA/ARMY/BATFE/USFS. They have been training, and activly running anti-drug ops in Ky from like the Ragen/Bush years. This is about nothing. The military is at the Ky Derby, thunder over louisville and fly the cops all over the commonwelth. Hell the joint taskforce has been running LRRP type foot patrols in the Danel Boone nat.forest from like 1985, They got air cover too (was UH-1s now UH-60s).I see AH-64s and USMC super Cobras flying CAPs at least once a month. Last year we had RAF AH-64 Apachy longbows flying training all over the place. You guys should see the sillyness when the Qween(QE-2) comes over to by horses.Then the Britts get in on the act. But all of this is OLD news , this has gone on for a long long LONG time----- Ray; August 31, 2012 at 12:39 AM
Trinity said...: No shit and shinola it's a major concern! If the Utopia the self anointed intellectual elites in the governing class -- along with dedicated support by the lapdog effete lamestream media -- is so great for the mundanes of the country, why are they preparing to exercise lethal force in order to force it's acceptance?

Could it be that actual liberty, personal freedom is an anathema to the concept of a closely supervised mass of obedient worker drones, and suppression is the only way to sell the Utopian benefits to the benighted unwashed?

StealthGhost said...: I'm not concerned w/ the training per se of yesteryear which was typically Joint Task combinations of different depts. etc. My concern is azimuth it's headed, the Milliterization type of training, MOUNT tactics, MRAP's (2700+) et al, coupled w/ DRONEs. The trajectory is poignant & clear. Not a good sign @ all. It clearly points to a opression of rights/liberties & totalitarian Police State imo. Suddenly it's here now through continual machinations of incrementalism, 4GW/5GW propaganda, smokescreens etc. Hang on for the ride of our lives....; September 4, 2012 at 11:42 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
