It didn't misspeak or misspell.
For the first time ever, US Army units are to be deployed into the US under the NorthCom Theater for a PERMANENT base of operations..
Like most things these days. This won't generate much of any excitement or angst. Your either for the terrorists or against them and who could possibly be against the US having a unit dedicated to "helping" you and I fellow citizen recover from floods, chemical attacks and civil unrest. You might have been tempted to think that the Fire Department, Public utilities workers, City workers, State workers, Police, Sheriffs, SWAT, State troopers, National Guard, FEMA, Homeland security, FBI, and the hordes of support mechanisms at their disposal (and already paid for by you) would be adequate. But you'd be wrong. We are not safe here in NorthCom.
Well I hope you don't have any plans to protest (read civil unrest) anything in the future. I do of course and so I guess I should learn how to survive a good tasering.
"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."
Now I've given up living by the sword but never forget that "dangerous" is whatever they decide it to be. The bright side is we get to learn how to carry the new centurions gear that extra mile.
That is how police States and Empires roll in. Banners and flags and proud parents waving to the troops that will kill their fellow citizens, for the good of course. Sanctioned, as always with a warm benediction from a Pastor. Go team!

Hey thanks for the link! I added your blog to the blogroll.
NORTHCOM is an insane concept. But you should hear the military sell it. I was at an event with NORTHCOM's commander earlier this year, and you'd think it was the answer to every possible danger in the world and as American as apple pie. They are smooth salesmen. In what context, I wonder, would "crowd control" *not* mean extrajudicial force against protesters?
Thanks for the add on! I've been thinking of renaming the blog to dispatches from NORTHCOM.
We are fast approaching the day when protest is synonymous with civil unrest.
Keep up the outstanding writing brother!
