National Guard Soldiers to Usher in New Year at Times Square

Later this evening as the newfangled Times Square Ball descends in Manhattan, you may see New York National Guard soldiers patrolling with the NYPD as you watch on television. “Under orders from New York Governor David Paterson, members of the New York Army and Air National Guard will conduct additional security missions and stand ready to respond to city authorities if a man-made or natural emergency occurs,” reports Jim Kouri, who is currently fifth vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police.

Short of a hurricane, blizzard, or al-Qaeda bio attack — all extremely unlikely — the presence of armed soldiers on the streets during the celebration has an obvious purpose: to get you accustomed to soldiers working with the police.
Earlier this month, the U.S. military announced it will place 20,000 troops on the streets of America by 2011. “But the Bush administration and some in Congress have pushed for a heightened homeland military role since the middle of this decade, saying the greatest domestic threat is terrorists exploiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,” the Washington Post reported on December 1. “The Pentagon’s plan calls for three rapid-reaction forces to be ready for emergency response by September 2011. The first 4,700-person unit, built around an active-duty combat brigade based at Fort Stewart, Ga., was available as of Oct. 1, said Gen. Victor E. Renuart Jr., commander of the U.S. Northern Command.”
The Pentagon plans to include the National Guard and reserve units in this effort. “All would be trained to respond to a domestic chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive attack, or CBRNE event, as the military calls it.”
In October, the Department of Defense announced it was assigning a full-time Army unit to be “on call” to facilitate military cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security. On October 1, the Army Times reported Northern Command’s deployment of the Army’s battle-hardened 3rd Infantry Division 1st Brigade Combat Team, ostensibly to respond to a natural disaster or terror attack.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
According to Bert B. Tussing, director of homeland defense and security issues at the U.S. Army War College’s Center for Strategic Leadership, the long standing Pentagon plan “breaks the mold” by assigning an active-duty combat brigade to the Northern Command for the first time. Although Mr. Tussing did not mention it, this plan also breaks the Posse Comitatus Act that forbids the military working with law enforcement.
“The National Guard’s 2nd Civil Support Team, a full-time, rapid-response element that detects chemical, biological or radiological hazards, also will provide a detachment in Manhattan to support the New York Police Department,” Kouri continues. “The 22-man detachment, based at the Scotia Air National Guard Base near Schenectady, NY, has worked with New York City police for counterterrorism support operations since the unit’s formation in 2000, according to police officials.” In other words, the unconstitutional deployment was on the agenda well before the attacks of September 11, 2001.
In addition to parading uniformed and armed soldiers on the streets, the New York National Guard will provide liaison officers to New York’s emergency management office and the New York City Police Department, according to Kouri, again a direct violation of Posse Comitatus.
Predictably, the New York Times and the rest of the corporate media are ignoring this report based on information obtained by the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.
Don’t be surprised if you see soldiers toting carbines mingling with the revelers later this evening. It is all part of a psychological warfare campaign to get you acclimated to the incremental presence of troops on the streets and the implementation of a police state.
Addendum
United Press International is now reporting on the placement of troops on the streets of New York. “The National Guard’s 2nd Civil Support Team, a rapid-response squad that detects chemical, biological or radiological hazards, will send a detachment to New York to support the city’s police department, military officials said,” the news agency reports. “National Guard personnel were to conduct increased security operations at Penn Station, the Port Authority Trans-Hudson terminal, and LaGuardia and Kennedy airports, officials said.”

enough talk, I’m ready to get this fucking ball rolling
December 31st, 2008 at 3:20 pm
What is it about the Posse Comitatus Act these power freaks dont understand? Willful, flagrant violations of the Constitution and usurpations of power. Insurrection. A silent Coup. Treason. That carries a stiff penalty. “Congress shall have the Power to declare the punishment for Treason,”. But Congress itself is adhering to the Enemy and giving aid and comfort. The silence of Congress is tacit approval. Who now to enforce the laws of the Union and suppress the insurrection? There is only one enforcement arm, The Militia.
Usher in the new year with solders in the streets of America. What a fine little fascist paradise we have become. Get use to seeing machingun toting skin head jackbooted Nazi’s on your corners. Your papers pleeze.
Happy New Year, One and ALL

b.t.w. who came up with the terrible idea to sell people water buffalos?
Talking about transparency, how can people control that the money is spent for a water buffalo somewhere in India?
Sounds really bad.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
They will be heavily armed and ready to kill; just as they were trained to do.

The National Guard is on duty in the streets of Las Vegas too.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I remember about 10 years ago I went to Mexico. When you walked down the street you saw police armed with automatic guns. I was about thirteen and I was thinking man you never see that at home. But now you see things like this were its normal now any gathering there are police fully armed. I was at the republican national convention and you saw it there police abusing their “powers”. How they set up concrete and large fence barriers to blockade you into certain areas. How all the police looked like they were begging you to do something so they could attack you. And if you watch on you tube u see the police assaulting innocent protesters. I am not that old but man how the world has changed in my short time in it.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Oh brother, talk about an attempt to crash the HUGE NYE party.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I wonder if the troops know if what they are doing is bs
December 31st, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I knew it…
December 31st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
WOW!! I can’t believe this is happening, it is amazing when you see the warnings from the so called conspiracy people a few years ago, and BAM!!! right before our eyes, MARTIAL LAW!
We really only have 2 amendments (from the original 10) left.
And they are really trying to get gun rights and free speech done with.
But I had an old retired Vet neighbor, (who moved to south america) tell me right after 911 that most sheeple HAVE BEEN CHEMICALLY ALTERED to be cowards and when/if you see armed troops on your streets, THE END IS NEAR. He was so right. WILL THEY EVER WAKE UP, and when? I TRUELY HOPE THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SEE THIS HAPPENING MAKE ON LAST STAND, regardless of what we believe, WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER AND DEMAND THE CONSTITUTION BE REINSTATED, it is amazing how the REDCOATS now wear CAMO.
WOW!!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 4:22 pm
this is proof that we are falling into a 3rd world country status. in 3rd world countries armed guards stand outside the banks and patrol the streets…just wait until everything collapses and we NEVER rebound to the old america
December 31st, 2008 at 4:35 pm
#2 Sweet! That’s exactly what they’ll say.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Maybe they’ll put an insider in the crowd to start up some sheit then re-act as to show us all that without them there something really huge would have went down. Maybe they’ll strap a nuke look a like or something to the guy and act like they caught him. Man, then the American public would love to be like Iraq’s public and just be invaded for our saftey! Ameruka! Home u da Free and the completly stupid that wouldn’t give a shit unless it ment unplugging their tv!

Great to see a dumb US public that has been so complacent and ready to sign up and support naked and illegal aggression against other people in Korea,Vietnam,Yugoslavia,Afhanistan and Iraq and umpteen other places are now bracing themselves to be well and truly dealt by their own military.
Not before time and may we watch on Sky please?
December 31st, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Also they are gonna give 1000 rookie cops fully automatic machine guns. Keep your heads down N.Y.

The average American idiot will dismiss this presence as “security measures”. However, in the days following 9/11, up until today, a more heavily armed NYPD force has been present (I.e. with carbines and armor). It has been sufficient to prevent another “terrorist” attack for the last seven years.
So, a psychological acclimation to military presence on U.S. streets appears to be the only valid reason for these troops being present.

Just let me find out that ONE member of the National Guard is an illegal immigrant and I’m gonna snap.

December 31st, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Is anyone really surprised about this…..outraged sure,but surprised…..NOT!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
What’s the difference if the National Guardsman is an illegal alien? Just like everyone else in the Guard they’re in it primarily for economic reasons and typically regret their enrollment. Also, illegal aliens are victims of the governmental/social illness (delusion? psychosis? madness?) that you, I must assume, would claim to oppose. Obviously crime doesn’t come just from the poor or you, this website, and I would have nothing to oppose.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:31 pm
I’m not surprised by this at all. Sickened, yes…surprised….i’m beyond being surprised about anything the corrupt gov’t does.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:04 pm
The old year takes with it the chaos, massacre, death, mayhem, starvation, distrust, disgust, anger, war, lies, suicides, bankruptcy, bailouts, swindles, foreclosure, unemployment, boots on the ground, etc. Some will celebrate the traditional/ritual tribute while others mourn their losses. Will the New Year be better, the same or worst than the previous year? All indications are pointing to the latter so far.
Anyway, enjoy and don’t step on any boots.

December 31st, 2008 at 10:30 pm
You’re right Jack. I should just accept the sad truth that the old notion of USA Citizens guarding USA Citizens and being strictly screened for their identity, dedication, and loyalty, went right out the window long ago. That patriotic “esprit de corps” has been compromised for the great global assimilation that would do away with our sovereignty and national pride…especially when corrupt Americans AND foreigners can be bought by the Borg-like bankstas that have it all (including NORTHCOM in their pockets). Yep, I guess he with the gold still rules. Thanks, I’m just gonna face it now.

Well, who saw this coming. Oh yes, EVERYONE:
The American people are NOT the only ones who have it bad, in our town in Liverpool (Britain) there are police searches EVERYWHERE, as in portable metal detectors set up slap bang in the middle of the town centre. I was stopped once, and as polite as the officer was, I was VERY angry.
December 31st, 2008 at 11:51 pm
These soldiers come from your neighborhoods, cities, counties and states. They are no different than you would be if given a position exempt from law and the power of GVt backing you. They are simply doing as ordered by a “higher authority” and will excersize caution while accomplishing a mission. Should anything get out of hand.. it will be turned over to local law enforcement and a corrupt justice system for handling.
The military has been altered by too many “movie scenarios” and TV shows that serve as recruiting and a “special status” in society while wearing a uniform. While many will show disdain…more will cater to these guys thinking somehow they are doing themselves a favor. They are used to bowing and scraping to a GVT’s feet.
How do I know.. I wore one once. But I knew what was right and wrong… not the now status of “might makes right”…

Ok, so I was watchin on MSN, and the USO show was awful, I read this article, and since im a NYC native I figured i’d go see what the hubbub was about. regular folks could only get a block away from the ball, you needed a special pass or some such to get thru the police barricades,and they funneled everyone up to 57th street to watch a rather small mobile LCD screen. no big deal. I saw no troops outside the barricade, just alot of officers, which is par the course for so many people in a small radius. Overall it was very docile, the officers werent being pushy and the natives werent restless. I’d say a bland time if anything.
as for that USO show…they changed the words to america the beautiful? jesus christ its the end of the world. Seriously tho it looked like a Nazi athem with a 50s throwback and it was quite creepy.
PS there were only supposed to be 22 troops there

Every soldier you wake up to the truth can mean 4-5 American lives saved.
That life just might be one of your loved ones.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
January 1st, 2009 at 2:40 am
Agreed,
Wake up the soldiers but tell them to stay in military so they can help others realize what is going on. Those who disconnect from the matrix must keep working on the inside !
DO NOT LEAVE THE MILITARY. Work from the inside and help others get connected to alternative media sources so America can take back our government and armed forces from these COMMIE ZIONIST elites.

articles like this used to freak me out.. then i calmed down and realized.. isn’t this sort of thing what the national guard is supposed to do? provide security for our nation? why is this a big deal really? i wouldn’t want to see a government that doesn’t work to secure the gathering of a million people. police state? i don’t know. epic times moreover. there is a bigger picture that i wish i knew more about.
national sovereignty seems to be a concern of this website. that’s fine and dandy, but what about world sovereignty? both in balance maybe?
PROGRESS IN 2009! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Military doesn’t belong on the streets – the city of New York has plenty of manpower to handle the New Year celebration. Period.
On 9/11 the police, fire fighters, and volunteers handled the situation – no need for military – certainly no need to maintain security during a public event.

What’s the matter? The local police can’t handle the average citizen gathering anymore? Oh yea, it must be that the local police are Fluoridated and don’t have that extra shot of steroids, eh?
January 1st, 2009 at 9:35 am
the governor may call on the national guard for such purposes, although the NYPD gets so much anti-terror and other federal funding I don’t really know why…
However, what should scare people more is the idea of active troops. remember, the governor may use the national guard when he needs them. Once the guard gets federalized under the gates plan, however… well then… we have a different problem on our hands.

I appreciate Infowars sticking with this story as long as they have. The soldiers being integrated into the police is a big problem; and we should work hard to end this stupidity as soon as possible.
The best thing that can happen to us is to not only end our international imperialism; but also end our war on drugs. The end result? The need for fewer police.
And may I say, that I don’t particularly like the police we have that much either: http://mediacondom.com/?p=501
