QUOTE
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.”

Thanks Chris, I spent at least 30 minutes trying to find that. I knew I'd seen it. 
interestingly, the book "takeover" by charlie savage, about the fall and rise of the imperial presidency, talks about the time right after 9/11 when the administration wanted to expand their powers beyond the authorization to strike al-qaeda. "...representatives from the white house, led by deputy white house counsel timothy flanigan, had urged the lawmakers to adopt far broader language. congress, the adminstration suggested, should endorse the president's power to use the military to 'deter and pre-empt any future acts of terrorism or aggression against the united states.' such language would represent an open-ended blank check to go to war against anybody or any nation the president might later deem to pose a threat of any kind, whether or not the target was connected to 9/11. but congress rejected the white house's request, specifically limiting the war authorization to al-qaeda. then, on the morning of september 14, just minutes before the final vote in the senate, the administration's legal team tried a different way of expanding the war powers congress was about to endorse. a white house lobbyist asked then-senate majority leader tom daschle, democrat of south dakota, to amend the resolution by adding the words 'in the united states and' after 'appropriate force'. under this new plan, bush would be authorized to 'use all necessary and appropriate force in the united states and against those nations, organizations, or persons' linked to 9/11. in other words, bush wanted congress's support for exercising full battlefield powers-from holding enemies prisoner without giving them legal rights, to shooting suspected enemies on sight-on u.s. soil. congress again balked."
savage's book deals with various adminstrations' attempts to act under the "unitary executive theory" which claims vast powers "inherent but not enumerated" in the constitution. among the methods used is reliance on federalist 70 while ignoring federalist 69.
this expansion, with the sometimes unquiet acquiessence of congress, of presidential power is frightening to anyone would cherishes both their individual freedom and the freedom of others in the united states.

Most years October comes before November unless it is the year of the squirrel and then October is removed from the calendar for that year and becomes the first month of the next year.
Looks like a brigade is training to help to do what the National Guard normally does. Not sure if or how this conflicts with the current amended version of "The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878"
This just keeps getting better and better. For those of you who have truely paid attention to a number of my post,you might remember that I posted a drawing of the new bridge designs that now adorn our hoighways and interstates. All of this has been planned many days in advance.
All this cartel needs is an excuse to execute martial law,well,a well beyond spectacular financial crash would be just the ticket,and those in control of the banks that are part of all that is going on are already applying the pressure to get what they want. And if they don't get it one way,they will do what is needed to get it another way.
Folks,the name of the game is destroy this country financially and reduce We the People to nothing more than indentured servants. This plan has been in place for a very long time and has been implemented little by little over a very long time,now the finish line is in sight and those who are behind it all are going for the gold.
Something us tin foilers have been warning about for many days and years,now coming into full view. Beranacke and Paulson are the point men of those behind all that is going on and they will do anything to get what they want.
I still hold my ground and say "LET THEM FAIL,NO BAILOUT."
I fear it may come to another armed revolution to take back what has been taken from We the People,the only sad part is,a good portion of We the People do not know the who that is behind all that has been done.
And the list that I posted is only a small portion and does not show the real hidden powers that make up the power that is behin all that is going on.

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
Don't taser me bro.
I was under the impression that this article was definitive, but I'd like to find something put out by the military or something. this article didn't even have citations.
anyone find anything else?

QUOTE
Starting Oct. 1st, the 3rd infantry division will be placed on active duty within US borders under the command of NorthCom. This marks the first time NorthCom has been assigned an active duty unit.
The 3rd will be training in how to deal with things such as civil unrest and crowd control, public panic due to nuclear, biological or chemical attacks, massive poisoning or explosives. They will also be trained in using non-lethal weapons.
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.
Training has already begun in Ft. Stuart, GA with a final training session ending in mid-September. The DoD and NorthCom have combined this dwell-time package to include elements from other military branches as well.

QUOTE
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.
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.

Now combine this article with this from We the People who posted this in the debate thread
"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;
NSPD-51 and the Potential for a Coup d'état by National Emergency
QUOTE
Under NSPD-51, during a national emergency only limited ‘National Essential Functions’ of government will continue, which may or may not include Congress and the courts. NSPD-51 assures us: “Enduring Constitutional Government means a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches...” This “matter of comity,” which usually refers to the informal and voluntary recognition of jurisdiction among courts, is troublesomely ambiguous in this context.
Is Bush claiming that he, rather than the U.S. Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court, determines which functions the three branches of the federal government shall perform as well as the checks and balances among them? Does the president decide for himself, as he "coordinates", which laws and court orders to faithfully execute? If the emergency event does not critically disrupt federal government operations, does Bush's NSPD-51 envision still limiting government operations to ‘National Essential Functions’? Is this executive order lawful since it overrides the National Emergencies Act, creating a new position of National Continuity Coordinator without congressional authorization?
With the Executive Orders that lenzy,myself and other posted,right now the stage is set for martial law and the deployment of troops in this country,as well as the elimination of the election. I posted this to a lot of laughter and ridicule.
Now,there is every possibility that it may come to pass,and Congress cannot overide an excutive order that suspends the Constitution.
The Elite of this world are going for a full court press,the failure of the banks will expose the hidden connections and the lies used to hide those connections and it will jolt the mindless masses out of their stupor,and the hidden elite(the real Bush base) know this,which is why all the fear and outright blackmail that is going on.

Then just sit back and watch,if it does happen,you will have at best estimate about 10 minutes to get out of town before they close it off. The National Guard here in Wisconsin has quietly been rehearsing just such drills,and they can close off Green Bay in less that 15 minutes,nothing in,nothing out.
So sit back and laugh......if it come to pass.....you'll have plenty of company.

I did not add the cool smiley faces, those are the government's. ;p
edited to add stuff, including: right, and there were like 3 senators and 46 representatives that voted against this, which needed a 2/3rds vote to pass... if you don't like this, the dems are as much to blame as the reps.

Wow. Wonder if they'll be ready on November 5th? What's the plan here? We need to be worried.
Could this be why?

Hey, Andy! Thanks for posting this. It really needs to be in a thread of its own. I'll see if I have time tomorrow am. But maybe you could start one. This simply cannot stand! We can't let them steal our votes, and especially our young people's votes in the very first election that they are excited about. We can't let them steal another election! I'm worried about this...

The other interesting factor is the Patriot Act and Bush's ability to declare martial law...maybe Bush's 3rd term will actually be Bush's 3rd term...

The Posse Comitatus Act forbids the use of the US military at home. So the task of dealing with domestic "emergencies" has been the role of the National Guard, for whom there is an exemption. But the demarcation has blurred in recent years, with the National Guard called up to bolster the military occupation of Iraq.

Don't taser me bro.
Thanks Chris! Wow this is scary stuff. Could it be because they are expecting so many people at the voting precincts...they need some kind of crowd control?....or is it going to be something more along the lines of voter intimidation, somehow?

I don't know but Glenn Greenwald is on the story now too. You have to arrow down a bit to find the story. I think it's one of the most worrisome stories ever, ominous.

As is typical, very few members of the media even mentioned any of this, let alone discussed it (and I failed to give this the attention it deserved at the time), but Congressional Quarterly's Jeff Stein wrote an excellent article at the time detailing the process and noted that "despite such a radical turn, the new law garnered little dissent, or even attention, on the Hill." Stein also noted that while "the blogosphere, of course, was all over it . . . a search of The Washington Post and New York Times archives, using the terms 'Insurrection Act,' 'martial law' and 'Congress,' came up empty."
Bovard and Stein both noted that every Governor -- including Republicans -- joined in Leahy's objections, as they perceived it as a threat from the Federal Government to what has long been the role of the National Guard.
