I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

OPERATION GARDEN PLOT

Posted Saturday, October 3, 2009, at 1:36 PM

There have been plenty of comments made about the fact that Bush was compared to Hitler and plenty of people saw his Administration as being dangerous. To be fair, I also did a search to see how Bush's Administration added to the "One World Government" plan.

Back in the day, not so long ago, I was politically asleep. My main concerns were getting the bills paid and taking care of my family. Though that hasn't changed, my political mind has woke up. What exactly did people think of the past Administrations. Well, I looked a few things that tie into my last post.

So while I slumbered, FEMA changed from disaster-related to national security. In 2003, FEMA partnered with Homeland Security and we got REX-84.This came about in order to be prepared in case there was a massive number of immigrants crossing the borders and a place of detainment was needed to house these illegal's. Then the Clinton Administration further used REX-84, allegedly to shut down many military bases in order to turn these into detention camps. There are reported to be over 800 camps in the US today. Though the reason for these camps seemed harmless to Americans because immigration was a hot topic, the underlying purpose was always to be prepared to detain our own citizens when the need arises.

The Bush Administration expanded on this when he signed the civil disturbance plan 55-2 and the training started to take place for CIDCON (Civil Disturbance Readiness Conditions). This bill came about after certain truths behind the war and 9-11 came out, it was believed that a large awakening was occurring. The government had to be prepared to go against our own people. First, it would put into action two Operations. One is called Operation Cable Splicer which is an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. Yes, you read that right. Federal will take over local.

#2 is Operation Garden Plot: CIDCON-1 will be used at any time that the President feels that there is a civil disturbance threat. It would use all branches of the military and all resources will be put into use if needed, including weapons, air support and detention centers. A list of possible threats included, tax protesters, religious groups, gun rights activist, militias, anti-war protesters, homeschoolers, and any other general anti-government non-conformist groups.

This OPERATION GARDEN PLOT calls for the use of deadly force. And these rumors of detention centers is not gossip. These facilities were also in response to the FEMA problem of Katrina. Katrina was such a horrible situation that most of us never even noticed that this CIDCON-1 even existed.

Next I will post what I found connected to this and detainment camps.

We go back many many years using the National Guard for crowd control....Remember Kent State, Viet Nam Protester's, any type of protest where there were mass crowds forming.

When Martin Luther King was killed they had the Military set up on the White House Lawn with M-16's I think that was the choice gun back then, but I could be wrong.

Under the Constitution of the United States and United States Code, the President is empowered to direct federal intervention in civil disturbances to--

� Respond to state requests for aid in restoring order.

� Enforce the laws of the United States.

� Protect the civil rights of citizens.

� Protect federal property and functions.

Generally, federal military forces may not give law enforcement assistance to civil authorities without conflicting with the Posse Comitatus Act. However, constitutional and statutory exceptions to this prohibition do exist. The recent emphasis on drug interdiction has led to an increase in those exceptions.

The NG responds and operates under state laws unless they are federalized, when they operate under the same constraints and laws as federal units.

I agree with what you wrote concerning the role of the Guard. IN my other post I did state the following:

It is easy to see the attempts of the President and his advisors to avoid the debacle involving the National Guard after Hurricane Katrina, when Governor Blanco of Louisiana would not give control of the National Guard over to President and the Federal chain of command. Governor Blanco rightfully insisted that she be closely consulted and remain largely in control of the military forces operating in the State during that emergency. This infuriated the White House, and now they are looking for some automatic triggers--natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or a disease epidemic--to avoid having to consult with the Governors."

So I am angry that Bush played a part in this as well. Governors are supposed to have the authority to utilize the Guard and Bush was ****** off that he was blocked.

A President's power must have limits and there needs to be checks and balances, hence the need for congress, governors, judges, police etc.

Instead, we have a President that wants to do what he wants, when he wants and how he wants. If there is something in his way, then he will get a law passed to change it. If someone opposes him, what will he do? I wonder if the GM executive that he fired just wouldn't tow the line. How many others have been bullied?

bazookaman, I'm not sure of your reasoning when you state, "A government that does not ITSELF follow our Constitution, but seeks to impose its own will upon the people, has no authority to do so, and it is our DUTY to throw it off-------------our declaration of Independence is pretty clear on this."
