    The Colorado Springs Gazette reports:

    Northern Command is providing help in the disaster response to flooding in North Dakota, the command said Thursday in a press release.

    The command will stage at the Grand Forks Air Force Base to aid the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

    NorthCom will help distribute supplies and coordinate the relief effort.

    A defense coordinating officer dispatched by NorthCom will act as the liaison between FEMA and NorthCom, relaying capabilities available to FEMA and coordinating movement of active-duty personnel and equipment to assist should the need arise.

    NorthCom is based at Peterson Air Force Base.

    Apparently sending the military out in response to natural disasters is so common place now the corporate media does not bother to report on it.

    Section 1076 of the John Warner Defense Appropriation Act essentially nullified Posse Comitatus, as Sen. Patrick Leahy argued at the time. The bill states the armed forces will be used to: “Restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States.”

    The the John Warner Defense Appropriation Act was subsequently repealed in its entirety.

    However, you wouldn’t know it if you live in North Dakota.

      The ARMY will come with SANDBAGS and BIG PUMPS WITH DIESEL ENGINES.

      They might go as far as supplying fresh water as well!

      OK, as long as they bring Donuts for Harry Handcuff!

      FreeinTX Reply:

      The ARMY will come? Why? Because the National Guard is to busy killing people in Iraq and Afganistan to show up? That’s what makes it okay for the US F-CK-N ARMY to show up? We don’t pay the cops enough? We don’t pay the guard enough? FEMA doesn’t get enough? Over 2 MILLION people paid to help in situations like this and that’s not enough taht we need to get the US ARMY involved?

      Does it even matter that it is AGAINST THE LAW? “Break the law. It’s okay. As long as it “helps.” Is that right? Since when is it okay for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to break FEDERAL LAWS written specifically for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? And who determines if it is, “okay,” to do so, and who determines if they actually “helped?”

      Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, et al, are working to trap us by using our outrage and patriotism as tools against us and our freedoms.

      Its fun to read the fear-laced articles and user comments. I like to see how the “crowd” forms around these little snippets of fear-mongering. I admit, I got a little emotional from time to time and commented angrily or beligerently occasionally. Now that I understand what is happening I feel a little silly.

      Its interesting to see how many people are trying to warn others when all we are accomplishing is pulling the net tighter around ourselves with our participation, attention and fear.

      Before long, life as we knew it will be a dimmly remembered dream while the newly, politically correct fabricated history is taught to our children’s children.

      We can’t see eye-to-eye, find common ground or work together to find and implement solutions. We can only do what we’ve been programmed to do. Pick an ideal and defend that ideal from the many deviant ideals of others. So. In order to have and enjoy freedom, we must overcome our hatred of others, remove the dividers and blinders and practice some real humility by accepting that other opinions, views and outlooks may just have some merit.

      Once we’ve accomplished that impossible feat, we may be able to save our country as a unified force. Otherwise, well, we all know that outcome.

      I wonder if Vegas is laying any odds on how long it will take for them to start gun confiscations and forcing people into “safe areas” like they did with New Orleans. I guess only time will tell. Will they have the nads to try it again with everyone watching and listening? Will the people tolerate it or will they just kneel at the power and aww of northcom. What a crazy world its becoming.

      i live in fargo. i fear they are constructing something horrible here. 2000 troops. border patrol. coast gaurd..coast gaurd in the center of the continent…national guard can arrest people for looking at the operations. 6 national media have been arrested. this is far from over..i’m in a wheelchair, but man, i wish i could flee this god forsaken scene..with half of the snow pack of the 1997 flood, we have somehow set insane new records..our mayor and governer look tired.everything is federal now..s.o.s.

If you need ANYTHING feel free to email me at harrisondylan@hotmail.com I don’t know what that would be, but I’m glad to see another North Dakotan on infowars

      If what your saying is true, then its different that what is normal in years past. Arresting the press for photographing them during operations…. What do they have to hide?…Crates stuffed with tax payer cash? Remember… our police/imc only exist because of tax dollars. So easily they forget.

      God Bless you, Mark. Hang in there, brother. Sorry all this global warming is creating so much havoc for you up there in tropical Fargo. I guess if there’s a flood, that’s reason enough for the Coast Guard to assume a presence now! Before long, I suppose the next “reasonable” cause for them to deploy will be a bath tub full of water.

      willhahn Reply:

      Ummm…can’t you tell when someone is being sarcastic? “Tropical” Fargo was meant to show how silly global warming is since it is snowing heavily and the snow pack/melt is what is causing the record flooding. I don’t think he’s a fraud, just think you didn’t get his sarcastic humor. ;0)

      Goddamn I hope the soldiers start a massacre. I would love to see all of North Dakota under martial law and a good shooting war so there are a lot of dead bastards on the news. I would love to see the military blow up some of those big fat amerikans so they explode on that cute little news caster mouthpiece showering her with blood guts and gore. That would be so cool!

      I grew up in grand forks and fargo ND. the national gaurd has always come out for a few days to help sand bag the river, and to gaurd business while there flooding. This river has flooded pretty good about every 5 – 7 years since i can remember, since the 70’s. So this is a non-story. I dont think this story is similar to other instances of ng deployment on infowars lately.

      taurus45 Reply:

      National gaurd is one thing but when they include active duty armed forces that should concern you. I dont know about you but if i had active duty armed forces in my community i would be very concerned, specialy if they were armed any body know out there if they arm walking around with weapons or not that would be very interesting if they were.

      “Today American’s would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful. This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”

      I bagged sand with the Air Force and Army boys. Without them, we’d be in a heap of trouble. We as a city simply don’t have the equipment neccessary alone to deal with the disaster. They’ve been very helpful. I know that’s what its supposed to ‘look like to acclimate us’, but when you’re in the middle of a crisis, they’re in the same boat as you. Most of them are local. No one is taking away our guns or forcing us out of our homes. I left voluntarily.

    17. Marine Says:

      It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to do so. I spent 33 years and four months in active military service as a member of our country’s most agile military force — the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent more of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

      I suspected I was just a part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all members of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

    19. Major General Smedly D. Butler Says:

      Thus I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and CUba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-12. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that the Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

    20. Major General Smedly D. Butler Says:

      During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals and promotion. Looking back on it, I feel I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three city districts. I operated on three continents

      Our survival, the future of our civilization, possibly the existence of mankind, depend on American leadership — upon the wisdom of our policies and action. On the one hand, we know that peace has never existed for long where some great power has not enforced it by military strength. On the other, we have seen that military strength is like a flame which consumes the very stuff from which it springs. Great military peoples have conquered their known world time and time again through the centuries, only to die out in the inevitable ashes of their fire. Well over two thousand years ago, the Chinese philosopher, Laotzu, concluded that:

      “Weapons often turn upon the wielder, An army’s harvest is a waste of thorns.”

      They decommissioned the valley city national guard last year here in North Dakota. If the guard was being used correctly they would not need any military to come in like Northcom. The propaganda for drones is all over the news here, if you go down to Grand Forks you will see billboards promoting the drones. It has been on the news that the military wants full control of the airspace here to practice their drones. I saw my first one shoveling snow outside, looked up and there it was right above me. This is not normal here, they have been hyping this way to much. I lived down in the valley during floods and work down there each year. This is a complete get people ready for the military in your neighborhood plan. Did anyone notice our representative standing behind Obama nodding his head like a good puppy during his last speech? We are in deep doo doo here if we let this continue.

      Listen, I live not 2 blocks from the Red River, and I was here in 1997 when we were flooded so badly that nearly everyone lost their homes. Those of you who have this image in your head that we have armed military people patrolling the streets here asking to see papers, your hearts are in the right place, but your info is wrong. The military (mostly NG) has been integral in keeping an eye on the levees and rushing to any areas that are compromised by the waters. We simply DO NOT have the means to do this without their help.

      And the Feds are not commanding us to volunteer. North Dakotans do that all on their own.

      We had the military here helping us in 97 as well, and could not have done it without their help to put out raging fires, search and rescue, etc. I believe that this is one of those cases where the Army was needed. I cannot imagine where we’d be if we didn’t have the extra help.
