October surprise??!!

Army Unit to Deploy in October for Domestic Operations -- (From DemocracyNow)
Beginning in October, the Army plans to station an active unit inside the United States for the first time to serve as an on-call federal response in times of emergency. The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent thirty-five of the last sixty months in Iraq, but now the unit is training for domestic operations. The unit will soon be under the day-to-day control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. The Army Times reports this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to Northern Command. The paper says the Army unit may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control. The soldiers are learning to use so-called nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals and crowds.


If the trampling of the Constitution, or the perversion of the DoJ and your rights like Habeas Corpus, or the Halliburton detention camp contracts weren't enough for you. If you missed the part about Governors losing the ability to control National Guard actions within their state and essentially Posse Comitatus. If you are totally clueless, then this should have you worried.
