“Native Born Terrorists” are the target of Fed controlled SWAT teams


You can hope for a better tomorrow, but from here the future looks really fucked.


“What’s happening here is we’re building a domestic military wearing the exact same combat gear that we had in Iraq . . ."
former Marine Corps Colonel Peter Martino


In full view of an apathetic public that often drools on itself while playing with their shiny new phones, the Feds are funding and organizing an American version of the Imperial Roman Praetorian Guard. 

This new Federally directed "Terrorist Police" will be, like the now Federalized National Guard, called into service when the Feds need more boots on the ground in local cities. 

A SWAT training exercise mounted by the Broward Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, and the FBI portrayed “native born” Americans carrying out a terrorist attack on Port Everglades, part of the accelerating demonization of American citizens as domestic extremists.

The drill was based around “sovereign citizens” attempting to steal a shipment of ammunition traveling through the facility by seizing hostages and planting bombs as part of their wider agenda to overthrow the government.

 
“These weren’t foreign-born America-hating terrorists. These were native-born America-hating terrorists. And they were making things difficult for the good guys,” barks a dramatic Florida Sun Sentinel report.
 
The whole spectacle was basically an opportunity for the Fort Lauderdale Police SWAT team to show off its arsenal of militarized gear, including “Two Bears — massive armored vehicles with turrets for automatic weapons fire — a beefed up front-end loader that lifted an overturned car like a toy and Hummers packed with serious firepower.”
 
The exercise ended with the seven terrorists – being played by FBI agents – “neutralized” and all the hostages rescued.

Last month, former Marine Corps Colonel Peter Martino, who was stationed in Fallujah and trained Iraqi soldiers, warned that the Department of Homeland Security is working with law enforcement to build a “domestic army,” because the Federal government is “afraid of its own citizens.”
 
Speaking in relation to a decision on whether the Concord City Council would accept a $260,000 Homeland Security grant on behalf of the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit to purchase a BearCat armored vehicle, Martino cautioned, “What’s happening here is we’re building a domestic military,” adding that police are now “wearing the exact same combat gear that we had in Iraq, only it was a different color,” reports Infowars News.
 
Characterization of politically motivated Americans as domestic extremists has become a familiar practice for the DHS.
 
Police State Too Much? Send in a Marine!
Peter Martino is a citizen of the State of New Hampshire. Martino is a Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve who has been mobilized three times. During his military career, he commanded an infantry platoon, company, and battalion. He was also the senior U.S. adviser to an Iraqi Army brigade.

The Bi-Partisan Police State
Military equipment does not buy itself.  Nor do 1984 Big Brother spying programs on the American people happen by by magic.  Both the Democrats and Republicans work together to eagerly pass laws and fully fund the massive growth of an unconstitutional and centrally controlled Police State.

Obama posts 800 U.S. Marines off Syria



From the Halls of Montezuma
to the Shores of Syria


(Reuters News) - A sixth U.S. warship is now operating in the eastern Mediterranean, near five U.S. destroyers armed with cruise missiles that could soon be directed against Syria as part of a "limited, precise" strike, defense officials said late on Friday.

They stressed that the USS San Antonio, an amphibious ship with several hundred U.S. Marines on board, was in the region for a "different reason" (yeah, right) and there were no plans to put Marines on the ground as part of any military action against Syria.


One of the officials said the San Antonio's passage into the Mediterranean was long-planned, but officials thought it prudent to keep the ship in the eastern Mediterranean near the destroyers given the current situation.

"It's been kept there as a precaution," said one of the officials, who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The San Antonio transited through the Suez Canal on Thursday from the Red Sea, and received new orders on Friday to remain in the eastern Mediterranean, near the destroyers, according to defense officials. It is one of three ships that are carrying 2,200 Marines who have been on a six-month deployment in the region around the Arabian peninsula.


USS San Antonio (LPD-17)
The lead ship of her class of amphibious transport dock or landing platform dock, is the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the city of San Antonio, Texas. The ship is designed to deliver up to 800 Marines ashore by landing craft and helicopters.
