Hi Barbara,
Well, here it is, the why we are being targeted. At least for some of us that is.
Also forgot to mention that practically ALL of the insurgent/terrorism type activity that to date has occurred on US soil, in part, mental illness (at some point and to some degree in the person's life) was determined to be a causal factor. So what we are seeing is a roundup of everyone who may have potential to resort to insurgency (and terrorism is sometimes a part of insurgency). The idea of what is happening is that even if we don't resort to insurgency or terrorism, all insurgents or terrorists commit crime. To be proactive then it makes sense to catch people when they are committing crimes and assess them to make sure they don't have the potential to become a insurgent with terrorism wings.
The funny thing is even insurgent sounds extreme but here's the thing, there are not studies of insurgency or terrorism in the US (very little). Researchers then draw upon the 100's of criminology studies that have been conducted. They draw parallels between crime and insurgency/extremism. If you were to look at the information on community policing you'll find that community policing is in fact COIN (counter-insurgency) techniques and theories fighting ordinary crime. In fact, they're starting to just call it COIN (call it C3) now and it's viewed as better than community policing.

Hi N
Well, I figured that out but I haven't put it down in print yet. I think they are definitely allowing communities to conduct their own COIN at the local levels with these technologies. And ex-military are more than likely to agree with coalition (government) views (so overall there would be a high percentage of ex-military in force) and be considered prized assets, not to mention they'd probably do it for free.
We've all speculate that we've been labeled as real or potential terrorists by our government, right? But I haven't heard mentioned what is actually happened in the US and abroad. Rather than counter-terrorism it's something called counter-insurgency or (COIN). The two are linked but different. There was a gap because terrorist is too strong for even the worst of us but insurgent, synonyms include rebel, revolutionary, agitator, extremist. Wikipedia article "stalking" gangstalking section labels group as an "extreme communty".
An insurgent is a person or group that may take up arms if a revolution occurs. For example, our Army and Marines were entirely unprepared when in 2003 there was an insurgency in Iraq. Since then, a new counterinsurgency manual written and released in 2005. In it, you'll see the details of practically you're witnessing today. Whereas, terrorism is violence. Insurgency is going against the coalition (government) for political ends and sometimes this includes terrorism as a technique. (the manual states that some individuals will never be able to support their government and therefore must be eliminated). The number one thing that defines COIN success is focusing on keeping the population safe while fighting the insurgents. So now you see public safety (safety of everyone over the individual). And directed energy, because history has shown that even if one innocent were to get killed in the cross-fire using kinetic weapons, public support suffers soon after (the counterinsurgency coalition forces lose). DEW and information operations/asymmetric warfare is just what is needed to separate insurgents from the population and eliminate them without killing them (insurgents cannot garner public support). It goes on to say that COIN requires not just military but military & all of the economic, legal, social, government, etc institutions in the civilian sector.
So you have entities at the top of the list
- Department of transportation
- Border Patrol
- CIA
- FBI
- DOJ
- DHS
- DOE
- HUD
So if you read into this new COIN philosophy you'll get the picture real quick of what has happened. This isn't a few criminals after us, this is everyone is after us. Actually, what the book says is 20 out of every 1000 in population minimum is required for COIN to be successful. So in my town of 28,000. There are roughly 600 individuals minimum. So to answer your question if it's ex-military. The exclusions for Posse Comitatus (those that are not restricted)
- National Guard units and state defense forces while under the authority of the governor of a state;
- Troops used under the order of the President of the United States pursuant to theInsurrection Act, as was the case during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots.
- Under 18 U.S.C. § 831, the Attorney General may request that the Secretary of Defense provide emergency assistance if civilian law enforcement is inadequate to address certain types of threats involving the release of nuclear materials, such as potential use of a nuclear or radiological weapon. Such assistance may be by any personnel under the authority of the Department of Defense, provided such assistance does not adversely affect U.S. military preparedness. The only exemption is nuclear materials.
- Support roles under the Joint Special Operations Command
Also everyone in community policing
- Businesses (cable, phone, internet, retail)
- Volunteers - could be inactive military, they would probably be most willing to volunteer for free and be prized assets
- Nonprofit - Religious, youth, etc
- State/Local Government (police/sheriff/state, ambulance/hospital, fire, gas, neighbors, maintenance, electric, sanitation, post office, etc)
- Government contractor
Plus the military is able to do technology transfer and offer consultation/training to all these entities.
Sincerely,
T
