December 29, 2010 - A DOD Directive is released spelling out how the 480,000 military troops now stationed IN the US can be used. It is called
Department of Defense DIRECTIVE NUMBER 3025.18 December 29, 2010
The Directive is easy to read and not that long, only 7 pages.
This story was released after my diary was posted:
Analyst: US Mobilizing Army Against Occupy As Economy Deteriorates
On September 30, 2008, the Army Times reports: Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1
"The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,...
The package is for use only in war-zone operations, not for any domestic purpose."
On November 30, 2008, AFP reports Pentagon to deploy 20,000 troops for domestic emergencies
"Two additional groups will later join nearly 80 smaller National Guard and reserve units made up of about 6,000 troops to support local and state authorities nationwide, The Post said."
Doing the math, it appears that there is a possibility that 480,000 Army and National Guard troops, in addition to the 20,000 first deployed, can be trained in the use of non-leathal weapons.
Moving forward to September 24, 2009 the LRAD is used against US Citizens:

From the Army Times article cited above:
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.*
It is critically important to note that "defense support of civil authorities" has a great deal of meaning, under law. From page 16 of Department of Defense DIRECTIVE NUMBER 3025.18 December 29, 2010
DSCA. Support provided by U.S. Federal military forces, DoD civilians, DoD contract personnel.....
There are thousands of private contractors now. If you haven't, browse through the Washington Post's blockbusting expose' A hidden world, growing beyond control
If I have interpreted the DoD Directive correctly, Private contractors like Blackwater (Xe) and Dycorp, both now owned by Private Equity firms, or any of the thousands now working for the DoD could be used to corral us.
This is concerning because of the civil unrest caused by economic suffering and the seemingly corrupt cronyism we are experiencing in our nation.
Watch this shocking and not very well publicized use of LRAD in May, 2011 Western Illinois University kids who were IN THEIR YARDS and on their FRONT PORCHES:
Here's some dots to keep in mind.
General Tommy Franks, who led invasions into Afghanistan and Iraq, became a member of Bank of America's board from 2005 - 2009 when he left for no specified reason.
In 2010, Bank of America financed the $200,000,000 sale of Blackwater to a NYC Private Equity firm and, along with a couple of other big banks, financed the sale of Dyncorp from one private equity firm to Cerebrus for over $1.5 billion.
John Ashcroft joined the Board of Blackwater in 2011 as Xe's new Chief of Ethics.
We already know that many key CIA retirees work with Blackwater/Xe and Cerebrus is huge.
There are a huge number of retired military leaders now working for private contractors and the DoD can now use these private contractors to assist with civil unrest, if I have read the document carefully.
I think to downplay the potential for a loss of life as we know it would be a gross error.
Here's a RESEARCH TOOL FOR YOU TO USE. You will find a lot of information about Dan Quayle and Cerebrus, a huge private equity firm that owns A LOT of Military Industrial Complex entities. You can use it to track people and companies:

This is dismaying. I spent hours breaking down this Directive for you, stripping out and presenting those parts that pertain to Civil Unrest.
True story, a black helicopter flew directly over my house which is common here and, when I saved and previewed this draft, everything in the Extended (Optional) section disappeared and all the information in the Introduction had been copy/pasted in its place. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING to cause this to happen. Music from Twilight Zone
Ok, whatever. I don't have time to recreate the breakdown because I am headed to my roof to cover it with Tin Foil.
Again, the Directive is easy to read and not that long, only 7 pages.
If you read it, I look forward to your impressions.
Department of Defense DIRECTIVE NUMBER 3025.18 December 29, 2010
So, we have the Constitution, laws, SCOTUS, Executive Orders, and Department of Defense Directives. No wonder we can't figure out what the heck is going on.
I think we have a good sense that we are heading in the wrong direction. Personally, I agree with Cornell Professor, Joan Bokaer and Theocracy Watch. You can listen to her lecture here.
