Marines Invade Staten Island During Festivities
- Text size
May 23, 2009
It is becoming routine — the military engaging in “operations” and “training exercises” during public events. It is all part of a concerted effort to get the public acclimated to armed soldiers in combat gear on the streets.

|
| Marines perform a simulated raid in Clove Lakes Park during Fleet Week festivities on May 24, 2007. | |
Earlier this month, Infowars reported on armed soldiers arresting an over-zealous fan at the Kentucky Derby, an incident completely ignored by the corporate media with the exception of a Reuters photograph showing the arrest.
In April, we reported on the presence of National Guard soldiers at the Boston Marathon.
Over the last few months, the military has dispatched soldiers in violation of Posse Comitatus around the country, most notably in Samson, Alabama, on the highways of Tennessee and California, and in Indianapolis. In many cases, the soldiers work closely with the DHS, FBI, and myriad state and federal agencies.
The following is from the Staten Island Real-Time News:
Don’t be alarmed — Staten Island isn’t under attack.
A helicopter carrying visiting U.S. Marines will land in Staten Island’s Clove Lakes Park this afternoon for a simulated raid as part of Fleet Week festivities.
The chopper is expected to touch down at 3 p.m. near the baseball fields. The demonstration will last about two hours.
The event is open to the public.
In recent years, Fleet Week festivities have included mock raids at the public park to give civilians a feel for how soldiers operate in battle.
Note how the “raid” is billed as a “demonstration.” In other words, it has no military training objective other than to get New Yorkers accustomed to armed soldiers landing in public parks.

No. They weren’t doing anything repugnant to American values.
They just happened to be training…

You’re saying public parks and recreation lands are legitmate training areas for the military with kids playing, families on picnic? All the world’s their staging ground?
Your sense of values is repugnant, but you thugs are in the majority, so that makes it right or acceptable I suppose- consensus rules.

The article also mentioned the exercise was done in order “to give civilians a feel for how soldiers operate in battle.” We have the History channel for that! Like I want a bunch of jack boots around me while I’m out with the family!
No, consensus isn’t supposed to rule in America, the Constitution is! We will win in the end.

Always remember: it only takes 5% of the people to make a change or a difference. Listen to The Doors tune “Five To One” – “They got the guns, but we got the numbers, 5 to one, baby, 1 to 5, get together one more time.” Jim Morrison – son of the youngest Admiral in the U.S. Navy in the 60’s. It’s been a long battle, but it ain’t over yet!

Who is “we”, Captain trips? Fleet Week is a tradition. It was a training exercise, nothing more. Open to the public doesnt mean you have to be there, dumbass. And last time I checked, the states and cities have the right to do what they want with public land (because its owned by the city or state, dumbass).

When they’re really serious, will the military be policing the streets — like in all the examples mentioned by the article?
Captain Trips Reply:
May 24th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
What do you think?
When things get serious they will be doing more than just patrolling the streets. Do you really want to be interrogated because you wanted to go grocery shopping or spend the afternoon at the park with your family? Especially already knowing there is no clear and present danger to national security or to your safety in general. Remember, the police do not exist to protect you and your rights, the police exist to protect the property of the elites and to enforce the laws, taxes and tyranny of the system.
So when they tell us they are only trying to protect us from harm they are telling us a bold faced lie!

Yes, they are doing something repugnant to American values, they are training to attack and subjegate Americans as civilian internees and POWs, you have not done your homework.
This is all illegal, they have plenty of area to train as they always have at their posts, we had a city at Benning to do urban combat, Camp Shelby likewise has one, most bases do.
The FBI and the irrelevant/illegitimate DHS has no business engaging citizens with the military at all, the only attacks against our nation have come from the same trash doing these reprehensible drills. This is felonious and treasonous!

The marines can’t be prosecuted, however the officers can be. Remember, they are allowed to do drills, but they may not take part in civillian law enforcement activiities. As an ex-marine from the 1990’s, they instilled this on us however, my concern is they are using incrimentalism to get civillians used to soldiers on our streets. It used to be, that these excerises were only done on post. The other problem is, we have too many foriegn nations serving in our forces, this is a fast track to citizenship for them. My concern is all the marines born here are being deployed.

We’re all frogs in a very hot water. The people on infowars are trying to jump out of the pot but everyone else is dragging us back in.
I fear things are going to get much darker. In my county this weekend the sheriff’s office is sponsoring ‘no refusal’ DWI checkpoints where they take blood.

The troops, specifically the Marines, are not drones of the state or the banks or whatever the hell you think they are. They are not drones to anything or anyone, shitheads. They are patriots doing their jobs for less money than most unionized damn liberals that I have ever met. It is their sacrifice that allows you to trash them like you are. I’m not telling you to stop bc its your right, but just think why no major war since the civil war has been fought on American soil. Its because those men and women have sacrificed most of what they have so that you dont have to see war and can sit on your asses and complain about their violations of your rights

Anyone who deploys or uses a military against civilians must be executed. Including every soldier who participates and every link in the chain of command deploying the soldiers. That is a sinister, despicable crime at any time in history, by any goernment. When will the patriots greet the military invaders with a business end? I don’t know, but I hope it’s soon. The war has already begun, and I say let it come.

OOOHHHHrahhhhh,
Guess what! Fleet week is a time for the brave men and women of our Navy and Marine Corps to show there talents and give the general public a view into what they do. As a former Marine my self I remember how exciting it was to pull into port and have thousands of people, wanting to visit the ships and see the Marines in action. We get to educate the public on the tools and equipment that the military is using.
Now, as for having military persons running check points, and other such stuff, no way!!! Unless ordered by the governor of that state for emergancy(s) and for reasons of public safty there is no reason to use the military in that capacity.
You can belive it or not Our Military are taught and given classes on the genevi convention.
And they also are taught about how to properly treat citizens when acting in a public safty capacity. Ladies and gentlemen, when The S^&%T hits the fan and The American Military is called in they are here to protect our country, and that means all of us.

Here’s why. They are commiting acts of terrorism against the U.S. citizenry and the U.S. Government.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 113B > § 2331
§ 2331. Definitions
. . .
(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

http://911essentials.com notes that soon we will have a generation that has grown up militarized beyond anyone’s imagination. They will think it’s normal to have combat troops at Starbucks and Wal-mart.
After this conditioning they will be primed through TV, Hollywood, the public schools and peer pressure to think it’s OK to go thousands of miles away and kill innocent people.
MSG, aspartame, fluoride, and the mercury molecules that they consume will also greatly influence their mental and physical health, which will also be degraded by a life long vigorous vaccination schedule.
