» Financial Disaster Will Lead to Civil Disorder in 2009 or 2010, Says Secret Citibank Memo Alex Jones Mike Adams Natural News November 29, 2008 An internal memo from a top Citibank analyst reveals what the banks really think about the global financial situation, and the outlook is grim. "The world is not going back to normal after the magnitude of what they have done. When the dust settles this will either work, and the money they have pushed into the system will feed through into an inflation shock," wrote Tom Fitzpatrick, Citibank’s chief technical strategist. A d v e r t i s e m e n t He goes on to explain that the massive money creation efforts by the Federal Reserve and other central banks will end with one of two things: A resurgence of inflation, or a fall into "depression, civil disorder and possibly wars." The timing on all this? This coincides with predictions I’ve made here on NaturalNews.com, where I’ve publicly predicted price inflation of 20% – 40% in 2009, and the financial collapse of the United States government (sometime before 2025) due to an irreversible debt burden.
U.S. Troops In Homeland “Crowd Control” Patrols From October 1st 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team returning from Iraq for homeland patrols to help with “civil unrest” and “crowd control,” training in use of non-lethal weapons Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet Wednesday, September 24, 2008 U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control” – which could include dealing with unruly Americans after a complete economic collapse. This shocking admission was calmly reported on September 8th by the Army Times website, which reports that from the beginning of next month the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team “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.” A d v e r t i s e m e n t Print this page.

Pentagon to Detail Troops to Bolster Domestic Security The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials. The long-planned shift in the Defense Department's role in homeland security was recently backed with funding and troop commitments after years of prodding by Congress and outside experts, defense analysts said. There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement. The Pentagon's plan calls for three rapid-reaction forces to be ready for emergency response by September 2011. In 2005, a new Pentagon homeland defense strategy emphasized "preparing for multiple, simultaneous mass casualty incidents."
Detainee policy gone horribly awry December 01, 2011 10:00 AMDetainee policy gone horribly awry By Steve Benen The White House, the Pentagon, the FBI, the CIA, and the director of national intelligence, and the head of the Justice Department’s national security division all told senators the same thing: yesterday’s Senate vote on indefinite detention was a bad idea. It didn’t matter. On Tuesday 60 members of the United States Senate voted to preserve a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act — that would be the bill that funds the Pentagon — allowing the U.S. military to pick up and detain, without charges or trial, anyone suspected of terrorism, including American citizens, and to restrict transfers of prisoners out of Guantanamo Bay. President Obama has said he will veto the larger bill if the detainee provision remains intact, but that hasn’t been enough to sway the Senate. Just 38 senators did the right thing when the measure reached the Senate floor.
Washington Post: 20,000 More U.S. Troops To Be Deployed For “Domestic Security” As part of long term agenda to establish “military form of government,” combat likely unrest following total economic collapse Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.com Monday, December 1, 2008 The Washington Post today reports on plans to station 20,000 more U.S. troops inside America for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011, an expansion of Northcom’s militarization of the country in preparation for potential civil unrest following a total economic collapse or a mass terror attack. “The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials,” reports the Post. “Domestic emergency deployment may be “just the first example of a series of expansions in presidential and military authority,” or even an increase in domestic surveillance, said Anna Christensen of the ACLU’s National Security Project.

Sen. Paul: New indefinite detention rule puts every American at risk By Eric W. DolanTuesday, November 29, 2011 16:32 EDT Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released a video on Tuesday in which he blasted a controversial provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the Senate is debating this week. The provision would authorize the military to indefinitely detain individuals — including U.S. citizens — without charge or trial. “If these provisions pass, we could see American citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay,” Rand said in the video. “There is one thing and one thing only protecting innocent Americans from being detained at will at the hands of a too-powerful state — our Constitution, and the checks we put on government power,” he continued. “Detaining citizens without a court trial is not American. The bill was drafted by Sens. The Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation have all sent letters to Congress opposing the indefinite detention provision.

Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1 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 By Gina Cavallaro - Staff writer Posted : Tuesday Sep 30, 2008 16:07:12 EDT 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. It is not the first time an active-duty unit has been tapped to help at home. 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. Don’t look for any extra time off, though.
Indefinite Military Detention of U.S. Citizens Not Blocked By The Senate For The Second Time WASHINGTON -- The Senate on Thursday blocked a second attempt to spare U.S. citizens from potential indefinite military detentions and was set to vote on a third effort to do the same later in the day. Under a provision of the mammoth defense authorization bill, the military would be granted the authority to detain and hold anyone indefinitely if that individual is suspected of having ties to al Qaeda, including any American arrested in the United States. Sen. The heated debate has crossed party lines, with three Republicans -- Sens. But proponents -- led by Sens. Ayotte argued that passing either of Feinstein's amendments would hurt security. "I would ask my colleagues to reject [the amendments], which ... would take away the authority of the executive branch as allowed by our Supreme Court and would bring us back, would make us less safe in this country," said Ayotte, the former New Hampshire attorney general. "This constant push that everything has to be militarized ...
Indefinite Military Detention Of U.S. Citizens Is A Win For Terrorists, Former Admiral Says WASHINGTON -- A measure that Congress will likely pass this week allowing indefinite detentions of Americans by the U.S. military will mark a significant loss in the war on terrorism, says a retired admiral who ran the Navy legal system. The National Defense Authorization Act, passed by the Senate just over a week ago after a heated debate, includes a provision that requires the military to hold foreign-born terrorism suspects, and also lets the military grab U.S. citizens for indefinite detention. The House and Senate are expected to release the final legislation as soon as late Monday, and in spite of a personal lobbying effort by President Obama, it is expected to include the controversial language. To Ret. Adm. "The enemy is just laughing over this, because they will have gotten another victory," Hutson told The Huffington Post. Proponents of the measure, including the top members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sens. "In this war, the enemy doesn't have to win," Hutson said.
The Indefinite Detention Bill DOES Apply to American Citizens on U.S. Soil “Don’t Be Fooled”: The Indefinite Detention Bill DOES Apply to American Citizens Even at this 11th hour – when all of our liberties and freedom are about to go down the drain – many people still don’t understand that the indefinite detention bill passed by Congress allows indefinite detention of Americans on American soil. The bill is confusing. It’s confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas’ Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — “U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority.” A retired admiral, Judge Advocate General and Dean Emeritus of the University of New Hampshire School of Law also says that it applies to American citizens on American soil. The ACLU notes: Don’t be confused by anyone claiming that the indefinite detention legislation does not apply to American citizens. U.S. Two retired 4-star generals (Charles C. Pres. And see this.
New Bill Authorizes Rendition of American Citizens Living within the United States to Other Countries for Torture Top experts say that the newly-passed National Defense Authorization Act authorizes indefinite detention of Americans living within the United States. Top legal experts point out that the government claims the right to assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil without any charge or trial or other Constitutional protection. I noted last month that Congress was considering repealing prohibitions against torture. (I wrote to attorneys at the ACLU, but haven't received word yet on whether or such a provision has been enacted). However, Mother Jones notes today that Congress has explicitly authorized rendition, allowing American Citizens on U.S. soil to be sent to other countries which do torture: A defense spending bill that passed both houses of Congress overwhelmingly and is set to be signed by President Barack Obama as early as this week could make it easier for the government to transfer American terrorist suspects to foreign regimes and security forces.
