The most recent development is a Marine presence confirmed in San Bernadino County, California. Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Provost Marshal (head of a unit of military police) and the local California Highway Patrol office will begin working together 12/12 in a joint effort to, get this, “reduce accidents and drinking and driving”. The combined mutual cooperation between the Marine Corps Military Police and State enforcement officers will begin somewhere along Highway 62. The CHP will set up DUI roadblocks with the presence of Military Police. A violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Washngton Post previously reported that the U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 to bolster US security.

According to Representative Sherman, Congress was browbeaten into passing the $700 billion bailout and threatened with Martial Law if the bailout didn’t pass.

Ongoing steps involve Vigilant Shield ‘08, a five day exercise planned by the Northcom/Norad to simulate a state of Martial Law ostensibly in anticipation of a “major catastrophe” or “terrorist attack” in the USA, renamed Vigilant Shield ‘09.

An elite brigade was recently repatriated in the USA from Iraq and placed under the command of Northcom. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) made inquiries regarding these military deployments within U.S. borders.

Secret Session in House

Much of the planned implementation for Martial Law hinges on an event dating back to March, when there was a Secret Session in The House of Representatives in which many speculate involved discussions involving strategic plans for Martial Law. According to this recorded debate in the House, there have been only three secret sessions on record: 1825, 1983, and the one on March 13, 2008.

I’l bet Lucy came home from work everyday thinking she was really on to something big! I’ll bet she thought she was a vital link, a wall, a shiled, protecting Americans from harm and preserving freedom and democracy.

Maryland officials now concede that, based on information gathered by “Lucy” and others, state police wrongly listed at least 53 Americans as terrorists in a criminal intelligence database — and shared some information about them with half a dozen state and federal agencies, including the National Security Agency. Among those labeled as terrorists: two Catholic nuns, a former Democratic congressional candidate, a lifelong pacifist and a registered lobbyist. One suspect’s file warned that she was “involved in puppet making and allows anarchists to utilize her property for meetings.”

“There wasn’t a scintilla of illegal activity” going on, said David Rocah, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a lawsuit and in July obtained the first surveillance files. State police have released other heavily redacted documents. Investigators, the files show, targeted groups that advocated against abortion, global warming, nuclear arms, military recruiting in high schools and biodefense research, among other issues. “It was unconscionable conduct,” said Democratic state Sen. Brian Frosh, who is backing legislation to ban similar spying in Maryland unless the police superintendent can document a “reasonable, articulable suspicion” of criminal activity.

The case is the latest to emerge since the Sept. 11 attacks spurred a sharp increase in state and federal surveillance of Americans. Critics say such investigations violate constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and assembly, and serve to inhibit lawful dissent. In the largest known effort, the Pentagon monitored at least 186 lawful protests and meetings — including church services and silent vigils — in California and other states. The military also compiled more than 2,800 reports on Americans in a database of supposed terrorist threats. That program, known as TALON, was ordered closed in 2007 after it was exposed in news reports. The Maryland operation also has ended, but critics still question why police spent hundreds of hours spying on Quakers and other peace groups in a state that reported more than 36,000 violent crimes last year.

A WATCH list of suspected and known terrorists, compiled by the US authorities, has ballooned and contains more than one million names, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said today. The ACLU said it derived the figure from a Justice Department report on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Centre, which consolidates terrorist watch list information. The centre “had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007 and that the list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month”, according to a report by the Justice Department Inspector-General, the rights group said.
