Pentagon devising scenarios for martial law in US

author: Patrick Martin
9 August 2005

According to a report published Monday by the Washington Post, the Pentagon
has developed its first ever war plans for operations within the continental
United States, in which terrorist attacks would be used as the justification
for imposing martial law on cities, regions or the entire country.

The front-page article cites sources working at the headquarters of the
military's Northern Command (Northcom), located in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. The plans themselves are classified, but "officers who drafted the
plans" gave details to Post reporter Bradley Graham, who was recently given
a tour of Northcom headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base. The article thus
appears to be a deliberate leak conducted for the purpose of accustoming the
American population to the prospect of military rule.

Military lawyers have studied the legal implications of such deployments,
which risk coming into conflict with a longstanding congressional
prohibition on the use of the military for domestic policing, known as posse
comitatus. Involving the National Guard, which is exempt from posse
comitatus, could be one solution, Admiral Keating told the Post. "He cited a
potential situation in which Guard units might begin rounding up people
while regular forces could not," Graham wrote.

Graham adds: "when it comes to ground forces possibly taking a lead role in
homeland operations, senior Northcom officers remain reluctant to discuss
specifics. Keating {Admiral Timothy J. Keating, head of Northcom} said such
situations, if they arise, probably would be temporary, with lead
responsibility passing back to civilian authorities."

This is what Chertoff effectively is now going
to be doing with our law enforcement: to allow for the
militarization of law enforcement through the
overturning of Posse Comitatus, but to insure that the
military doesn't control it, and that it remains under
political control within the Cabal so it can be used
for political purposes.
