-Caveat Lector- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 6 Aug 1999 Subj: The Flag of Concern is Raised The Flag of Concern is Raised by DOUG FIEDOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heads Up There are two field grade and two company grade officers from another country who read this newsletter regularly. That is because we are friends. We met by accident a few years ago while they were acting as tourists for a few days before an important work related business meeting. And, because I wanted to brush up on their language, and they English, we have spent a few hours together over the past few years. On their last trip, there was some conversation on the topics reported here that interested them. The UN and martial law were on the front burner. Two of the men had worked with/for the UN for a while and freely related that the UN greatly fears an armed American populace. As part of one contingency plan, they know it would be nearly impossible for foreign UN forces to function in this country while so many of us are armed. The UN's desire, therefore, is that we be disarmed. No great surprise there. What they related on martial law was a real surprise, though. According to the most senior of the four, there are not enough U.S. troops to enforce martial law in this country unless the people passively allow it. Maybe so. The Army has 468,000, the Marines but 170,000 and there are 75,000+ armed federal regulators and 600,000 local police officers in the country. That's about one armed person for every 190 citizens. The gentleman was correct. After checking with an American Army officer of the same relative rank, we find that's not even enough to hold California if the people do not cooperate. In fact, because of the mountains, that is not enough to take over Eastern Kentucky, either. That is, short of air raids and the use of big guns, it is not. When asked where they will be at the stroke of midnight for the new year, the reply was a unanimous and unequivocal, "Home!" Because, as freely related to me, they expect many more problems there than we are expected to have here. And, so it appears, do many leaders in military units from countries around the world. When I mentioned that many Americans fear their guns will be confiscated, I was laughed at. The reply was something like: "One at a time. Yes. All together, at once, never." Which makes complete sense, if one thinks about it. The government is already actively working on that "one at a time" part. So, I asked straight out: "Do you think we are to have martial law?" After a bit of discussion, the answer was "probably yes," in some form. Their reasoning, however, did not deviate at all from many things we, and others, have been reporting. That is, committees from both the House and Senate have already called for martial law and questioned the Pentagon on it's readiness. All military leaves are canceled. So too are the vacations of any and all armed federal officers. The National Guard and Reserves will be on alert. And, all police departments will be at full manpower. Clearly, then, someone expects to have massive force available for something. Else, they would not be putting all those guns at the ready. But, why? Certainly, some of us could have a Y2K problem of some sort. But, 99% of us will stay home to take care of family. That being true, there will not be much policing to be done. Then other news came in. That armed encampment known as FBI headquarters closed its doors to visitors. A few days later, so did the Pentagon. It seems strange, at least on this end, that the people with all the guns, those best able to defend themselves in case of trouble, are hunkered down against the American public. Is there something going on here that we should know about, or is this just the first step in whipping their people into an "us" against "them" mentality? We think that the American people have a right to know exactly what is happening. Is the supposed threat of domestic or foreign origin? What is the threat to our family, neighborhood, city? But, we serf-citizens will never be told. So, we must raise the flag of concern. And concern, for anyone who has ever worked with me, of course means preparation. Because, ultimately, we are the ones most responsible for protection of home, family and neighborhood. Therefore, my friends, it is time to get both body and skills up to par. Whatever the threat may be, we are the initial home defense. --------------------------------------------------------- Previous Editions at: http://www.uhuh.com/headsup.htm and http://mmc.cns.net/headsup.html --------------------------------------------- Enjoy a 90 day free trial subscription to the E-mail edition of The Vigo Examiner.
