Going to Maine with Vimeo for the weekend. Something tells me we’re going to be having a lot of inside time.

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"? - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the “Homeland”? - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

For more than 100 years — since the end of the Civil War — deployment of the U.S. military inside the U.S. has been prohibited under The Posse Comitatus Act. The Bush Administration has now pretty much done away with that. According to this disturbing Army Times article, starting October 1st, a U.S. Army brigade will effectively permanently be on “active deployment” within the U.S., and “may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack…”

Scary shit— active military acting as the President’s police force, WITHIN the U.S. And the MSM isn’t reporting on this, at all (?)

What the fuck? I mean, seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK?

The worst part about being in the opening stages of a financial meltdown is not knowing whether you should be buying gold, or shotguns and canned food.

I couldn’t agree more. Maybe we should be buying golden shotguns. eh?
