Army Manual Outlines Plan To Kill Rioters, Demonstrators In America - Polidicks

[quote]Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, July 6, 2012 A newly leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest. The document (PDF), which is dated 2006 and was used for a self-learning course at the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort McClellan, makes it clear that the operations described in the manual apply to both “CONUS and OCONUS,” meaning inside the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States. The document outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law. The primary function of military assets will be focused around, “breaking up unauthorized gatherings and by patrolling the disturbance area to prevent the commission of lawless acts,” states the document, adding, “during operations to restore order, military forces may present a show of force, establish roadblocks, break up crowds, employ crowd control agents, patrol, serve as security forces or reserves, and perform other operations as required.” The manual also describes how prisoners will be processed through temporary internment camps under the guidance of U.S. Army FM 3-19.40 Internment/Resettlement Operations, which as we reported earlier this year, outlines how internees would be “re-educated” into developing an “appreciation of U.S. policies” while detained in prison camps inside the United States. On page 20 of the manual, rules regarding the use of “deadly force” in confronting “dissidents” are made disturbingly clear with the directive that a, “Warning shot will not be fired.” The manual includes lists of weapons to be used against “rioters” or “demonstrators,” including “antiriot grenades.” It also advises troops to carry their guns in the “safe port arms” stance, a psychological tactic aimed at “making a show of force before rioters.” Non-lethal weapons and water cannons are also included. The document also explains how the military will be involved in spying on and gathering information on dissidents to identify the, “Existence of persons, groups, or organizations which have distinctively threatened or are creating disturbances.” “Crowd control agents” will also be deployed for the purpose of “reducing resistance,” states the manual, which also implies that troops will be used to confiscate firearms. “Restrictions on the sale, transfer, and possession of sensitive material such as gasoline, firearms, ammunition, and explosives will help control forces in minimizing certain forms of violence,” states the document on page 40. “Consideration may be given to evacuating sensitive items, such as weapons from stores,” the manual also states on page 27. The document emphasizes how troops should make every effort, “to avoid appearing as an alien invading force and to present the image of a restrained and well-disciplined force whose sole purpose is to help to restore law and order with a minimum loss of life and property.” This 115 page manual represents a shocking new insight into how the U.S. military will be used domestically to violently quell unrest in the aftermath of a total economic collapse or other national emergency. Preparations for using troops to deal with mass civil unrest on U.S. soil have been in the works for years. Back in 2008, U.S. troops returning from Iraq were earmarked for “homeland patrols” with one of their roles including helping with “civil unrest and crowd control”. In December 2008, the Washington Post reported on plans to station 20,000 more U.S. troops inside America for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011 onwards, an expansion of Northcom’s militarization of the country in preparation for potential civil unrest following a total economic collapse or a mass terror attack. A report produced that same year by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Institute warned that the United States may experience massive civil unrest in the wake of a series of crises which it termed “strategic shock.” “Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” stated the report, authored by [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir, adding that the military may be needed to quell “purposeful domestic resistance”. Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was established under the pretext of a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/US border. During the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987, however, it was revealed that the program was a secretive “scenario and drill” developed by the federal government to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, assign military commanders to take over state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens determined by the government to be “national security threats.” With many Americans now becoming “pre-revolutionary” as a result of their fury at the Obama administration and equally unpopular lawmakers in Washington, potential civil unrest could spring not just from a poverty-stricken underclass, but also the shrinking middle class. Perhaps that’s why the Department of Homeland Security is increasingly focusing its anti-terror apparatus on white middle class Americans, portraying them as domestic terrorists in a series of PSA videos. In addition, ‘Occupy’ protesters are also now being characterized as terrorists.[/quote] [url]http://www.infowars.com/army-manual-outlines-plan-to-kill-rioters-in-america/[/url]

Was about to say that I was shocked that the [b][i]LAND OF THE FREE[/b][/i] would do this to their own people. Then I saw the source.

Doesn't surprise me. [editline]6th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=certified;36653087]Was about to say that I was shocked that the [b][i]LAND OF THE FREE[/b][/i] would do this to their own people. Then I saw the source.[/QUOTE] Infowars =/= invalid. Some of their stuff is a bit out there, yeah, but when they have hard evidence like documents it's kind of hard to refute.

Infowars. that explains quite a bit.

I love Infowars, its like reading some of the stuff out of the Deus Ex games. Except sad because what you're really seeing is someone off their schizophrenia medication.

Also, TBH, every nation in the world has martial law plans in place. This isn't conspiracy as Infowars tries to claim, this is government doing it's job.

Seriously if you're going to use a source do not use as horrible as infowars which is far from credible or reliable. The document their citing is just a plan for grand scale disasters like say Katrina but far worse serious measures are need for serious disasters.

The "re-education" part is weird but other than that I'm not seeing the problem.

Fucking really.

[QUOTE=Chrille;36653193]Wow. Fucking really.[/QUOTE] That's infowars for you.

[QUOTE=Chrille;36653193]Wow. Fucking really.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it seems this article is covered in Alex Jones brand Anti-Obama rhetoric.

It really is true though, I always get the urge to play Deus Ex after reading stuff from Infowars. The only real difference is that Deus Ex doesn't try to pretend its real.

The source is invalid. Though I was expecting a big Facepunch Anti-American circlejerk anyway.

Killing people for rioting? Unthinkable of! They're not gonna kill #occupiers, if anything this talks about violent riots. If you're gonna go and cause a disturbance and hysteria while trying to violently force your views upon society/the goverment you should expect to get jailed or sprayed with a firehose or in extreme circumstances, killed.

You know what I never got? Why conspiracy theorists always capitalize every letter in their sentences. No serious, does anyone else not recognize this trend? Wake Up, The Government Is Building Concentration Camps For the Lower Class! In Association With The New World Order and One World Government! like srs wtf

quell riots aka this is contingency plans for shit like the LA riots, not to fucking put everyone in FEMA camps or some shit

[QUOTE=]Infowars.com[/QUOTE] Stopped reading there.

Having a plan for doing these things are better than not having one. The military isn't going to just spray bullets all over the place, only on groups endangering otherwise peaceful people's life. And having the soldiers when to shoot, when to not shoot, and how to handle a situation as safe as possible isn't bad. And in the end, how probable is it that this would even be used?

[QUOTE=W0w00t;36653362]quell riots aka this is contingency plans for shit like the LA riots, not to fucking put everyone in FEMA camps or some shit[/QUOTE] Why do they always say FEMA camps? It's obviously IRS camps.

oh no obummers government gonna kill us hard workin honest civilian folk Ever heard of the NYC draft riots? Infowars; what a fucking joke

[QUOTE=certified;36653382]Depends, is it the article title (Should be capitalized) or body of the article?[/QUOTE] Well not so much in the article here, but elsewhere. I dunno, it's just, on YouTube comments or forums, etc., I always find that the conspiracy nutjobs always have an urge to capitalize every damn word in their sentences. And English IS their first language, or they can speak (type) it very well. [QUOTE=certified;36653350]When it's anti-American on here it's usually for a good reason. This is FP not RT.[/QUOTE] Nah Facepunch has its share of anti-Americans and self-hating Americans. Not saying they're the majority, just saying they exist. Some of them have good points. Some...eh.

Any personnel obligated to carry out such an order is afraid, brainwashed, or psychotic; would I be surprised if such is stated, honestly no. Would I be surprised if such was acted upon, yeah of course. These are [i]people[/i] being pressed upon, not robots programmed to kill.
