Marines Train “Civilians” to Accept Coming Martial Law

On May 23, the Staten Island Real-Time News reported on “mock raids at the public park to give civilians a feel for how soldiers operate in battle.”

Or maybe that should be “mock raids” to give civilians a taste of things to come and, of course, get them acclimated to the presence of uniformed and armed soldiers in their midst.

It is interesting the Marines characterized Flushing Meadows Park as “enemy territory.” In fact, according to our rulers and their military functionaries, the entire United States is “enemy territory” in need of martial law.

World Bank head honcho and globalist Robert Zoellick said as much last week when he warned that the banker contrived “stimulus” will not stem rising unemployment and forestall “political unrest across the globe.” Increasing poverty and the coming fire sale of corporations and infrastructure here in the former land of the free and brave will be a “political combustible issue,” according to Zoellick and the World Bank loan sharking operation.

It’s a combustion that will need to be dealt with — and that’s why the Marines are landing CH-46 helicopters in public spaces.


While most Americans are outraged by the audacity and unabashed thievery of the banker giveaway and, to a lesser degree, the pork-laden “stimulus” bill passed by Congress, this will not result in large or even small riots—growing unemployment will. - Kurt Nimmo, March 7, 2009

World economic recovery will be slow, and rising unemployment could bring the threat of social crisis and protectionism, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said on May 24, 2009, in an interview with Spanish Sunday newspaper El Pais. "What began as a great financial crisis, and became a great economic crisis, is now becoming a great crisis of unemployment, and if we don't take measures there is a risk of a great human and social crisis, with major political implications," he said.

DeMint’s Small Riots

According to Republican Senator Jim DeMint, there will be riots in response to the banker giveaway, now closing in on the astronomical number of $9.5 trillion. Mr. DeMint told Adam Bitely of Right Nation that these riots will probably be small, although “I think there is a chance that we can see some large ones.”

Jim DeMint has understated the issue. The coming economic riots will not be small and isolated, at least not according to the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute.

“Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” a War College study states. An economic “strategic shock” may require the nation to use “military force against hostile groups inside the United States.”

International Monetary Fund Managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said as much. During a speech in Madrid last December, Strauss-Kahn declared that “social unrest may happen in many countries—including advanced economies” if governments fail to adequately respond to the financial crisis. Strauss-Kahn said trillions of dollars should be pumped into bankster schemes supposedly designed to “fend off the danger from global recession,” as the Times Online put it.

Strauss-Kahn “added that violent protests could break out in countries worldwide if the financial system was not restructured to benefit everyone rather than a small elite,” the Guardian reported on December 16.

Rockefeller minion Zbigniew Brzezinski echoed Strauss-Kahn in February when he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe there is a “growing conflict between the classes” and “there could be even riots” in response to the collapsing economy. Brzezinski absurdly suggested the elite set-up a “National Solidarity Fund” for the poor and dispossessed to forestall the torching of banks and Wall Street.

In response to Strauss-Kahn’s dire prediction and the report issued by the U.S. War College, state and local police in Arizona admitted they have “broad plans to deal with social unrest, including trouble resulting from economic distress,” according to the Phoenix Business Journal.

“The Phoenix Police Department is not expecting any civil unrest at this time, but we always train to prepare for any civil unrest issue. We have a Tactical Response Unit that trains continually and has deployed on many occasions for any potential civil unrest issue,” Phoenix Police spokesman Andy Hill told the newspaper.

The Phoenix Business Journal also revealed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. military’s Northern Command coordinate with Arizona police, a direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act restricting the U.S. military’s role in domestic law enforcement.

“Urban warfare training drills are taking place across the country as top analysts as well as officials predict a potential ’summer of rage’ across Europe and America as civil unrest from the economic fallout builds,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote on February 23.

On the following day, Steve Watson wrote about a U.S. Army Contracting Agency, based at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, requesting riot equipment on a post appearing on the Federal Business Opportunities website.

Gerald Celente, CEO of Trends Research Institute, renowned for his accuracy in predicting future world and economic events, told Fox News in November that, by 2012, the United States will become an undeveloped nation wracked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches.

“America’s going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for,” warned Celente.

Last month, according to figures released by the government, 655,000 people lost their jobs. In December, that number was 681,000. It is expected the number will be close to a million next month. According to economist and financial planner Andy Sutton,

When the number of unemployed is married with the number of under-employed, “you come up with almost 23 million Americans or nearly 15% of the workforce,” a figure drastically at odds with the official Bureau of Labor Statistics number of 8.1%.

The Keynesian welfare state, now effectively insolvent, will be unable to provide assistance to the millions of people who will lose their jobs over the next few months. The result will be Katrina on steroids.

Brzezinski is correct—the unemployed will riot as the economy continues to crumble.

In the UK, the authorities are preparing for this inevitability.

“Police are preparing for a ’summer of rage’ as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions, the Guardian has learned.”

Banks and the headquarters of multinational corporations will become “viable targets,” according to Britain’s most senior police officer.

“Superintendent David Hartshorn, who heads the Metropolitan police’s public order branch, told the Guardian that middle-class individuals who would never have considered joining demonstrations may now seek to vent their anger through protests this year.”

It will be the same in the United States and Brzezinski’s pitiful “National Solidarity Fund” will do nothing to stem the tide.

The Worst Is Yet to Come: If You're Not Petrified, You're Not Paying Attention

The green shoots story took a bit of hit this week between data on April retail sales, weekly jobless claims and foreclosures. But the whole concept of the economy finding its footing was "preposterous" to begin with, says Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates.

"We're in a complete mess and the consumer is smart enough to know it," says Davidowitz, whose firm does consulting for the retail industry. "If the consumer isn't petrified, he or she is a damn fool."

Davidowitz, who is nothing if not opinionated (and colorful), paints a very grim picture:

"The worst is yet to come with consumers and banks," he says. "This country is going into a 10-year decline. Living standards will never be the same."

This outlook is based on the following main points:

• With the unemployment rate rising into double digits - and that's not counting the millions of "underemployed" Americans - consumers are hitting the brakes, which is having a huge impact, given consumer spending accounts for about 70% of economic activity.
• Rising unemployment and the $8 trillion negative wealth effect of housing mean more Americans will default on not just mortgages but student loans and auto loans and credit card debt.
• More consumer loan defaults will hit banks, which are also threatened by what Davidowitz calls a "depression" in commercial real estate, noting the recent bankruptcy of General Growth Properties and distressed sales by Developers Diversified and other REITs.

As for all the hullabaloo about the stress tests, he says they were a sham and part of a "con game to get private money to finance these institutions because [Treasury] can't get more money from Congress. It's the ‘greater fool' theory."

"We're now in Barack Obama's world where money goes into the most inefficient parts of the economy and we're bailing everyone out," says Daviowitz, who opposes bailouts for financials and automakers alike. "The bailout money is in the sewer and gone."
