Listen to the pawn they (US military) have stumbling over and mincing words about what combat troops are doing on US streets right now!!! IF this doesn't stink of impending martial law, nothing else will. Here is the main story line:

Is Posse Comitatus Dead? U.S. Troops on U.S. Streets
In a barely noticed development, a US Army unit is now training for domestic operations under the control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. An initial news report in the Army Times newspaper last month noted that in addition to emergency response the force “may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control.” The military has since claimed the force will not be used for civil unrest, but questions remain. We speak to Army Col. Michael Boatner, future operations division chief of USNORTHCOM, and Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine.

In a barely noticed development last week, the Army stationed an active unit inside the United States. The Infantry Division’s 1st brigade team is back from Iraq and is now training for domestic operations under the control of US Army North, the Army service component of northern Command. The unit will serve as an on-call federal response for large-scale emergencies and disasters. Its being called the Consequence Management Response Force. C-C-M-R-F or “sea-smurf’ for short.

It is the first time an active unit has been a given a dedicated assignment to US NorthCom, which was itself formed in October 2002 to “provide command and control of Department of Defense homeland defense efforts.”

WOW!!! Do they think we're all stupid?!?!?!?
