Naomi Wolf › Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out “Crowd Control”

Naomi Wolf › Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out “Crowd Control”: "Members of Congress were told they could face martial law if they didn’t pass the bailout bill. This will not be the last time.

Background: the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing “unruly individuals,” and the management of a national emergency. I am in Seattle and heard from the brother of one of the soldiers that they are engaged in exercises now. Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks."
