US Troops Deployed on Home Soils

There's a lot happening these days...

I just became aware that a brigade of US troops was deployed here on home soil on October 1st. The first deployment of its kinds since the Civil War. These troops are directly controlled by the President... not Congress.

This is terrible and frightening
What on earth!?! Have you read about our government raiding citizens houses, threatening them, tying them up and throwing them on the floor, taking their computers even, all because they thought these citizens, who'd done nothing wrong, MIGHT protest the Republican convention? It's insane! You can read about it here: www.salon.com/opinion/gre...s/index.html

yes and watch the videos of the McCain-Palin supporters--their comments while they are standing in line are pretty "enlightening". Makes me wonder (with lots of irony) who is going to be "starting the revolution" after the election. I just really hope against hope that saner heads will prevail, all around.

Spun
Yep. Shits been happening real slow and sneaky-like until they can throw bombs at houses without raising much of a protest. The dreamspell tzolkin cycle ends on election night and a new spin begins.... Older counts agree that some major shifts will occur within four days after. We'll see.
