You Had To Ask

The ACLU is demanding answers on military deployment within US borders, and it’s obvious that they are not going to get any answers soon. Why do they bother asking a Government at war with questions about troop movements and asssignments?

Another nagging question is why no one else in the Main Stream News Industry is asking questions. Either the don’t know anything, they’re deaf dumb and blind, or they see a real ( military ) threat on the not so distant horizan.

What threat could be so ‘Clear and Present’, and yet go unobserved by the general public?

There is a war going on just south of the Rio Grande! Or haven’t you noticed? The Merida Initiative is a major effort to supply Mexico with the means to conduct a counter-insurgency ( civil war ) being waged against Drug Cartels. Thousands of people have died violent deaths this last year, all as a direct result of the Mexican Governments military campaign financed by the US. ( +$ 450 million ).

The Russians know all about Mexico’s unreported status as ‘Failed State’. They’ve been supplying the insurgents for quite a while now, and their support has recently increased dramatically with the sales of high powered military equipment to several Latin American Nations.

These events didn’t occur overnight, they’re the result of a long range plan to re-establish Russia as a military power. The steady encroachment of NATO into Eastern Europe has Russia with it’s back to the wall and The Bear is refusing to go down without a fight.

Closer to Russia is Germany, and there is similar legislation being pushed through their Government. Their military has gained much experience in the Middle East over the last few years, experience that would be valuable if hostilities in the Ukraine spill over into Western Europe. It is worth mentioning that neither the US Government nor the US Press has reported much about this Legislation, or the timing. It’s obvious that several world leaders know something that no one is speaking about.

Promoting Revolution and supplying Bannana Republics with arms is neither unexpected nor difficult, but Conventional Ground Forces would be required to pose a credible threat to the US proper. And that credible threat is the only justification for over-turning Posse Comitatus.

So, how do you get the men and equipment close enough to North America without being noticed? You smuggle it! Smuggling is the one thing Latin America and Central Asia have in common.

Smuggling tanks and big guns across the open sea can be risky ( is the risk worth the reward? ). Russia may have tipped their hand recently when pirates seized several ships off the coast of Somalia last month. One ship was carrying 35 T-72 tanks, and much more military hardware. Another was carrying a ‘mystery cargo‘.

Though not widely reported at first, it is hard to hide the fact that damn near every Navy in the world is keeping a close watch on those ships.

The popular rumor is; the Ukraine was trying to ship arms to the Sudan…or…Kenya was buying arms…( insert your own cover story ). The fact is, Russian tanks are on the High Seas and no one is talking about it!
