1st and 3rd link is broken.

And get this: the brigade is under the authority of one of the masterminds hot-off of Operation Iraqi Fuckup.

I know this is scary stuff people, but don't live in fear over it. 15,000 troops is not enough to declare martial law. They are being brought in so that there will be military force available to protect those in power should the people try to retaliate against them through the worst of the coming depression.

People should know about this stuff, so get out there and enlighten them. Just don't frame it all in terms of fatalistic fear. Spreading fear is doing the work of the state for them.

Hey? Somebody has got to take people in to fill all those camps Halliburton built.
