Well of course thats what its for and the Banksters ain't gonna spend their own money for security when they can use the military as their own private army.


The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

Socialist, do you pride yourself if being clueless and wrong ALL the time? Evr hear of the Constitution or better yet, the words duty and integrity when it comes to members of the Armed Forces or like YOUR president you just dislike us that much???

Ya never know. Just pointing out the ultimate culprit if it comes to that.

the U.S. Army's military police have always trained and equipped for riot and crowd control... the same training and equipment applies whether our troops are in berlin or on Ft Bragg...

Ft Bragg, by the way is as large and populated as many American cities, and university towns... And, from time to time, they've experienced unrest that warranted riot gear...

and quite a few of our military installations have been the focus of demonstrations in which riot gear proved useful...

With the equipment that our military has in it's t.o.& e., the replacement of their old riot gear does not alarm me...

Nothing new there. I did that in the National Guard during the Vietnam Era.

Now the real question is will the Army use provocateurs to get the game going like they did during the Vietnam Era.

Yup. May 1971, Travis AFB. Two days of rioting that I and my roomie avoided only because two black guys on my maintenance crew fairly forced us to get out of the barracks area, into my car and leave the base. Two hours later the chit hit the fan and the base was locked down. Dudes with riot gear from bases up and down the coast were all over Travis for a while after that.
