Obama Mobilizes National Guard, Army Reserves To Fight Ebola
With numerous counties and states having declared "States of Disaster" or "States of Emergency", the looming civil rights destruction of martial law domestically draws ever closer.
However, President Obama has decided that, by Executive order:
- *OBAMA ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR ARMED FORCES IN WEST AFRICA
- *OBAMA TO ACTIVATE INDIVIDUAL READY RESERVE FOR EBOLA
What is The Individual Ready Reserve? (via Wikipedia)
The Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)is a category of the Ready Reserve of the Reserve Component of the Armed Forces of the United States composed of former active duty or reserve military personnel and is authorized under 10 U.S.C. ch. 1005.
For soldiers in the National Guard of the United States, its counterpart is the Inactive National Guard (ING). As of 22 June 2004, the IRR had approximately 112,000 members (does not include all service IRR populations) composed of enlisted personnel and officers, with more than 200 Military Occupational Specialties are represented, including combat arms, combat support, and combat service support.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Obama authorizes call-up of National Guard, reserves if needed to address Ebola.
— Charlie Kaye (@CharlieKayeCBS) October 16, 2014
In other words, we are sending Vets and reservists to Africa... where they are expected to do what? Shoot at viruses?
* * *
BUT they will come into contact with Ebola:
Via Bloomberg Transcript,
KIRBY: Afternoon, everybody. I'm proud to welcome into the briefing room General David Rodriguez, commander of Africa Command. He's here to give you an update on U.S. contributions to the effort against Ebola -- U.S. military contributions to the effort against Ebola in West Africa. And with that, sir, I'll turn it over to you.
QUESTION: Just a clarification on that, please. Will they be in contact with individuals or just specimens?
GENERAL DAVID M. RODRIGUEZ (USA), COMMANDER, U.S. AFRICA COMMAND: They come in contact with the individuals and they do that. And they're -- like I said, it's a -- it's a very, very high standard that these people have operated in all their lives, and this is their primary skill. This is not a -- you know, just medical guys trained to do this. This is what they do for a living.

President Obama has issued an executive order calling up ready reserve troops to combat the Ebola crisis in Africa.
Obama notified Congress of his order Thursday. It reads: "I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation United Assistance, which is providing support to civilian-led humanitarian assistance and consequence management support related to the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa."
The Pentagon said it had no immediate plans to send reservists to Africa, saying that the order simply allows the military to begin utilizing reserve/guard forces in our overall response in Northern Africa.
It "doesn't mean that we are deploying these forces, but it gives us the option to do so if we need to," said Air FOrcer Lt. Col. Thomas Crosson, a Pentagon spokesman.
The White House said it didn't know exactly how many reserve troops would eventually be required.

Yes..
Oh God... we are screwed!
Perhaps to secure the southern border? Not a chance...
these ebola threads sure fill up fast
like their 'infected!'
Whew!
We are all good now... Right?
Barry wants one Moar Peace Prize before he really retires
Retired on active duty
Hope every unit has someone to hold the clipboard
How does Obola go from NO PROBABILITY of Ebola spreading to mobilizing the National Guard in fuckin 2 weeks time...
They want em out the country ,. wonder why
And V For Vendetta was right.
Funny how Cubans send doctors, and the USSA sends soldiers to fight Ebola. Could there be another agenda at play....Naw.
At least the USSA isn't the only country that's got it bass ackwards.
Great Britain - We are sending ground forces into West Africa to combat the deadly virus, 'Ebola', and we are sending humanitarian aid to combat the terrorist organisation, 'ISIS'.
How did they ever win two world wars?
Is Ebola the false flag thing we've all said will happen soon? Could this be it, and in response we are all forced to inject the virus.... I mean, vaccine?
I hear Liberians are kicking out Red Cross workers, because the only ones infected were the ones that took the vaccine.
Sheer desperation.. he needs to look competent and in command to save his sorry ass and the democrats prior to the election.
Also sheer idiocy.
Thought Gadaffi had planned to create the Unites States of Africa.
Godspeed to them. For some, that will be a one way ticket. Very sad.
Listen.
THink Zero's. The extra help can enforce curfews and quarantines.
Please send more USSA troops. They are needed!
Here's an old, but good book:
Jitterbug by Mike McQuay
http://www.amazon.com/Jitterbug-Mike-McQuay/dp/0553242660/ref=sr_1_8?s=b...
It a scifi novel about someone in power who releases a deadly virus and controls the world by controlling the cure.
Or is that a news story from today. Hmmm.
How many rounds of 5.56 to kill an eboler?
Sounds like a convenient opportunity to export people (retired soldiers) who could pose a problem fighting AGAINST their government (i.e., fighting threats both foreign AND domestic) in the event the government needed to impose martial law.
My thought as well - Take the young, healthy, naive and aggressive ones, isolate 'em socially, economically and geographically, brainwash and vaccinate the living shit out of them, use them as cannon fodder in service of ulterior motives overseas, and then "Bring Our Boys Home" where they can rot in a line outside the nearest underfunded VA office. At least they get a nice merit badge out of it. That IRR crest is NEATO! "Serve your country" and you can have one too, son!
Remember - If they say they're going to FIGHT something, it actually means they're out to SUPPORT and GUIDE it somehow, whether it's "ISIS," "Al Qaeda," "DRUGS," "Global Warming," or "Terrah" in all its other mass-marketed forms.
The end justifies the means. - Macchiavelli
What type of stupid sees the military as the solution to every single problem?
Obama is looking more and more like FDR. He will secure his third term because Ebola. The fourth will just be a victory lap.
Since the African's dont trust any NGO as far as they can throw them -- and are kicking them out including the red cross -- sure gotta protect those "foriegn" entities with troops!
Check the local news in Africa, they don't for a second believe this is real Ebola but some manufactured thing... But of course why then would they have to create "Ebola is Real" Bernay's style campaigns?

An idiot with only a hammer, sees nails everywhere...
Is Ebola part of that there "Axis of Evil ?"
Sure is right next to NATO and the USSA
If the people are sheep, cows, name your farm animal, then why would you purposely kill them? I think the point is to corral them and make them your bitch, which seems to happen in basically every civilization until the sheeps plow over the farmstead.
Actually the IRR isn't subject to the UCMJ (until they report for duty).
So if there was ever a correct time for uniformed service members to disobey orders, conscientiously object en masse, and to tell Uncle Sam and Barry the Ballboy to go fuck themselves...
One can only hope.
Now that the NG is mobilized, how about they go marching to DC and arrest the whole lot.
We vaccinated a few folks
Booties on the ground. Sheik Yerbootie. Bootie Call. Shit. It never ends. Especially with Ebola.
Exactly, urban,
I have a couple questions concerning this.
First, since when can you mobilize the National Guard for a medical emergency in a foreign country? Seems like a job for volunteers. If I were the commander of the mobilized unit, I would be asking that right now. NG are local folks who do weekend warrior stuff. Even NG medical units are trained for biohazard warfare and that is a bit of a different game.
Second, does Obama have unilateral power to declare martial law in a foreign country? What the hell is going on? Where is the actual request and consent of Liberia or any other country? Did he get elected President of the whole world...Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Liberia, Libya...WTF? What if the Liberians actually see it as an occupation and not another of our many "liberation" attempts and we get ebola and guerilla warfare? What kind of amazing shitstorm can we get into there?
This guy is seriously out of control and the decisions are so stupid, so unilateral and nonsensical that I may have to move into the conspiracy camp. Either this thing is way worse than stated or something invisible that makes sense is going on.
My concerns are same same, but different... (since normally, I would be of the position that they signed up to serve, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles... even though using AUMF as the legal basis for invading Iraq in the first place, as well as continued funding of the occupation-- was and is a direct admission by both the executive and the legislature that the official policy of the United Sates is that Iraq was responsible for 9/11).
I don't really have an issue with the president deploying the active duty Army and active duty Army Reserve to West Africa for less than six months. However, when you start dipping into the IRR, it means statutorily authorized resources are insufficient and since there has been absolutely no debate, much less Congressional authorization or appropriation for such an action under the War Powers Act, as well as an established pattern by this CIC of violating the existing law regarding the deployment of troops oversees - I think the order is clearly unlawful and IRR members have a moral obligation to refuse the order and demand that the rule of law prevail.
In regards to calling up the National Guard. Every National Guard soldier serves both the federal government and the state government, but its primary duty is the individual state. So while the same violation of statutory law exists and the same moral obligation is incumbent upon its members... this also strips resources from the States and authority from the State governors to respond to what is most certainly a crisis that each State will have to confront on the home front. In short it's a power grab which neuters the capability of the State governments to fulfill their obligation to respond to the demonstrated and proven short comings of federal oversight of the domestic ebola crisis. So I think there is also a moral and official obligation of the governors and state legislatures to refuse the conscription and diversion of their own resources, regardless of any congressional authorization.
UR, "I don't really have an issue with the president deploying the active duty Army and active duty Army Reserve to West Africa for less than six months."
why is the six month period relevant? I thought that a proper discussion and declaration in Congress/Senate would be more relevant, before deploying for an emergency outside of the borders of the US
of course this ties in with a long, long discussion we europeans are having with Uncle Sam that many Americans find... perhaps boring, but we'd really, really appreciate if troop deployments would get some... broader authorizations
Putin does observe this kind of niceties. Regarding Ukraine, he went to the Duma and collected authorizations, including the one to invade Ukraine if necessary
to come back to FreedomGuy, Germany does ask for volunteers among the military forces for deployment in Liberia
My memory is apparently failing again... it's actually three months- http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/warpower.asp
The Congress recognizes that they like vacations/recesses/play time almost as much as Obama likes golf, so the way the statute is worded, the President can deploy troops first, and then seek congressional authorization (which has been eroded over time to Get 'er Done & Get Out then de minimis non curat lex), it's not perfect, but it's practical (for the US).
The IRR and NG will take weeks to get ready to deploy, if not months. This could be a hedge against things getting dicey here rather than on the dark continent.
Yes, this is just getting the ball rolling for when/if there is a breakout here. They will have these guys spread out in all the states getting ready to deploy to Africa and then oh shit we need you here instead.
Everything will be fine here. We're number one!
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/us-capacity-11-ebola-patients-specialized-h...
11 beds how exceptional! You fraudulent fuckers.
"They will have these guys spread out in all the states..."
And that's key. A few hundred thousand reservists spread across more than 3,000 counties in the US. Good luck to their chain of command on that one. Someone f*cked up big time on this one, so it would seem.
"The IRR and NG will take weeks to get ready to deploy"
Shutdown EBT. The Free Shit Army will deploy in minutes.
-
... I read that too ... here >>> From Ghana: Ebola is not real and the only people who have gotten sick are those who have received treatments and injections from the Red Cross ...
... and check out the reasons why Obama's troops are on the ground in Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone ... something to do with oil and diamonds? ...
I think you are right. Around here sh'eople seem only to happy to visit the doc's for a jab.
Other than that its a GDP boost - just think of all those needed, employed people to manage the situation.
The Soviet Union defeated Germany in WW2, not the UK, not the USA.
I think Churchill and his yappy little fucktard FM Montgomery had a little to do with that as well ........ face it the Soviets would have had a greater fight on their hands if the aforementioned colon snakes hadn't kept them busy blowing the shit out of poorly deployed allied forces....... of course the constant bombardment of the german industrial areas was having some effect as well.......... but yes in the sanitized history books of the west often seems to forget the role of the soviets in bringing down the Nazi war machine.....
Try reading more.
The Soviets begged for a second front because they knew they would get their asses kicked going 1:1 with Germany.
Ever hear of the all the material sent to the Soviets during the war?
Soviet Russia signed a peace treaty with Nazi Germany. The USA was still neutral after France fell.
Britain fought alone from 1940-1941.
The commonwealth countries - basically Canada and at that time Newfoundland pretty much declared war at the same time as Britain and supplied forces and a material support lifeline to keep Britain alive, I know it sounds strange today but Canada actually had a decent airforce and navy by the end of the war I think 4th or 5th largest - though to be fair most everybody elses had been blown up..... at any rate the UK did not fight on alone the north atlantic is li the final resting place for thousands of merchant and navy ships and crews who gave up everything to keep britain alive.
From Hitler's speech to Germany Declaring war on Russia:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/ww2/hitlersoviet.html
It's always interesting to read one of Hitler's speeches. He always seems more lucid and genuinely more interested in the well-being of his people then any of the tripe we get out of our leadership.
FYI...here is another quote that tells a lot about Hitler's mindset and view of how the world had treated Germany from WWI and on:
Funny how Hitler was doing then what we would like to do now. Anihilate London Banksters and Zionist Jews.
How is "invading Russia" annihilating London Bankers?
Hitler also said "just kick in the door and whole thing" (Soviet Russia) "will come crashing down."
That didn't happen...and for obvious reasons...now. (If Germany had gotten a nuke is there any doubt they would have used it?)
Also...to the Canadian historians...Poland had an awesome Air Force too.
The problem was that it was sitting on Prussian land.
That became Russia's problem after World War II in my view...and still is a problem...though not an American one thank God. Charging the Third Reich with "waging a war of aggression" (as we the Americans did at the Nuremberg trials) first off ignores The Winter War of 1940 when Russia invaded Finland in an unprovoked attack and second begs the question "what other type of war is there?" Plus a conspiracy charge? Bwhahahahaha.
Don't say any of this to minimize the contributions of Poland or Canada...or Australia or New Zealand for that matter.
Just saying...when you're going up against the The Third Reich you need the USA and/or Russia on your side to be considered "not alone."
Pound for pound, man for man the German Wehrmacht was...perhaps unfortunately...the best Army in History.
Google "Crimea" if you want to know why I think that way.
"East Elbian Germans" are still a "problem" in my view as well.
"The Junckers."
Funny, I thought the funny part was the way the quote made me think I was reading a ZH comment section post.
Wait a minute--I was!
Surreal, that. Seems Hitler shot his own sorry syphilis-riddled ass, but his sick spirit lives on and on and on.
Guess it depends on whose syphilis riddled propoganda you are willing to buy.....do a little real research and you might be suprised what you find,
.... and when did the second front come genius?? What do you think was going on during in the 18 months prior to D-Day??
well let's see there was the disaterous raid by canadians on Dieppe - Mountbatten had blown the operational cover to his nazi spy buddies but the Canucks went anyway and got slaughtered - not the first time the their blood would be used to pay for the stupidity of the overlords and wouldn't be the last, the battle along the Scheldt estuary exacted a heavy cost on the Canadian forces when the "High Command" {and you better believe I assign the highest order of sarcasm to that title} finally followed LG Guy Simonds suggestion to secure the approach to Antwerp of course when Simonds pitched it the Germans were retreating toward Germany ...... but ...... but .... that fucking ridiculously over rated mother fucking piece of shit Montgomery and his retarded plan to spearhead a long range incursion directly to Berlin - you know it as operation market garden if you read the bullshit history that it appears you do - ended in completely predicable disaster for the British and American forces involved.
Ok so material support for the Soviets..... really..... really...... oh they I am sure they saw the Sherman tanks as useful - for cooking their food on the hulls after they took a shell from a german 88 or P3 or 4 and burst into flames ..... the soviets produced over 30 thousand T34s medium tanks alone - at factories under direct nazi fire at Stalingrad ...... the T34 was undoubtedly one of the best all around pieces of armour on the battlefield in WW2 - yes the german Panther was a wicked machine there were simply not enough produced to be effective in countering the hordes of soviet tanks sweeping forward over the German defences, then of course there are the katyusha barrages that announced the coming party but overall the soviets beat the shit out of the nazis using their greatest weapon - winter........
Anyway my learned friend you are probably right I have little idea about WW2...... not much idea at all....
t-34/76 was potent. the upgraded t34-85 was quite the 'medium tank'. my favorite is the su-152. soviets definitely had some of the biggest guns, and thickest armour, along with best running gear ('tracks') of the war. western allies basically smothered the axis positions in artillery/airpower, then moved infantry in to clean up. there were exceptions of course, but that was the basic thing, especially in western europe '44/'45. 'fascists versus bolsheviks' in the east was generally a much tighter (more evenly matched) contest from start to finish. the 'war in the east' was the biggest land war of recorded history.
The soviets didn't defeat shit. The Russian winter saved their bacon yet again. Hitler's insanity for fighing on multiple fronts didn't hurt either.
You are a pathetic embarrassment of stupidity and I'd love to know how you come to those conclusions but I prefer to not waste my time.
rwe2late "The Soviet Union defeated Germany in WW2, not the UK, not the USA."
I suppose the next thing you are going to say is that the Soviets did it all by themselves.
Did you ever hear of Harry Truman? While still a senator he said:
"If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia, and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and in this way let them kill as many as possible." New York Times, 24 July 1941
from the book "The Enemy" by Felix Greene, Copywrite 1970 from Vantage Books Edition Feb. 1971, p92
Did you ever hear of the "Sealed Train" .
Lenin, while crossing German territory, had with him on board of his train some ten million dollars in gold, thanks to German chief banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul strangely enough, in 1913, was the chief architect of the Federal Reserve System, the central bank of the United States. A good sum now and an enormous sum then knowing that he would undermine the Russian government.
http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Sealed_Train that financed Lenin?
Yea, the Soviets did everything all by themselves.
"
also william boyce thompson 'gave the bolsheviks a million' and now he's got an arizona state park named after him.
Wars are run by banksters-elites to loot and steal. They also may have narcotics, slave trade, oil, gold and other things that are involved.
You'd reckon after you had a few billion you'd say "you know what, fuck it, I'm going to enjoy life and retire to the beach". It seems that these people just never get enough, that controlling people and circumstances to suit themselves is hard wired into their brains.
different people in charge
Britain lost in both world wars. WW1 caused the pound sterling to fall from being the reserve currency and let the US become the global power. WW2 finished the Empire and reduced Britain to an insignificant country with major debts, little industry, lots of welfare, overflowing with migrants and dependant on the Square Mile for false economic health.
Cuba has lots and lots of doctors. Many more per capita than the USA.
When you don't make anything, or even have a functioning economy, it frees up a lot of people to go into the healthcare field.
Buckaroo Banzai
A Cohiba or Montecristo Cuban cigar sounds really good about now.
I don't think anyone here ever wants to end up in the hands of a cuban "doctor".
Seeing as most western "doctors" are just pill pushing whores for Big Pharma I think I'd rather have a Cuban doctor who is trained to treat his patients as patients and not Insurance Company payment codes.
they should restart the cuban textile industry, and start making lingerie again. cuban lingerie was the best.
They sent 10,000 doctors to serve the poor in Venezuela, traded for oil.
They want to secure the natural resources.
I've read reports of skirmishes with Chinese troops in the region, and we know what that's about...
Wow, do you have any links on that?
Just curious.
I have been saying that this is all about a resource grab.
This is very likely a globalist attempt to snatch whatever resources they can before said resources fall under Chino-Russkie control.
They needed do make the move NOW because the Chinos have been making Major moves all over East Africa and working their way across to the West.
China has lots of troops (1000's) in Africa and shitloads of engineering companies and associated smaller outfits.
Shit, they even hired Eric Prince's new outfit out of Hong Kong to protect their interests in Africa.
Real or Not, Vaccine\Treatment Viabilty\Availabilty aside... The Ebola is a absolutely perfect strategic smokescreen for this resource grab.
always good practice to examine all information critically but most of the ongoing shitshow was outlined by Mike ruppert over 10 years ago including the potential for this Bio-disaster........ minute 21 but actually both parts of his presentation are worth a watch ..... especically for anyone thinking this is all out of the blue........
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ1xkYfjfsU
Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy9JCDchk34
The Chinese have been moving globally fairly quietly for some time now. When I was flying to Brazil from Germany a couple of years ago the plane was about 1/5th full of Chinese, mostly businessmen they told me working on deals and imporving relationships with Germany and then on to Brazil for natural resources.
They are strong believers in Hard Assets [think of gold, oil, RE, etc] and this plane load was no exception. History has taught them hard lessons about fiat.
It was part of a thread on veteranstoday.com... I'll search for the article...
Why send an army instead of medical workers into
There are more of them. You've got to keep your thinking simple!
And now there's this truly horrible news:
Calif. college quarantined after student who traveled with Ebola patient vomits in classhttp://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/16/calif-college-quarantine...
UPDATE: false alarm, someone tweeted false info
This could be the worst practical joke in history.
Sell, sell, sell...
Listen Select Zero's.
There is a moral in that story. All you who are overly emotional, don't think yourself into having eBola.
You will create a perfect internal environment for The "BLOOD WORM" and your immune system will get compromised.
Think happy, healthy thoughts.
That is good advice.
I'm still waiting for ISIS to run a press conference claiming they operatives in the States with viles of infected blood who are freely moving around contaminating water sources, food sources, public infrastructure, air conditioning systems etc. I just can't believe they haven't done it already which makes me hugely suspicious of who is behind ISIS. Such a press conference would collapse the US economy instantly and with it the effectiveness of the US military industrial complex.
Wow, I feel better already! Thanks!
Go fuck a holy cow, dothead.
I always wondered where the term "holy cow" came from when I was a kid. I never realized it was a perjorative.
Better than slaying your Holy Cow I guess...
I thought the National Guard was somewhat answerable to the governor of state. Can't the gov say "I need these troops here in my state. Send your damn army".
I don't remember running a clinic in a BHL-4 hot zone being any part of army training.
No, due to federalization/pre-emption in the Dick Act. My state (AZ) tried to use the NG during one of the first federal shutdowns to man parks and perform other federal duties and they were federalized to prevent that from happening. Some states have a state guard that is solely under state control, though I think technically there's a federal law even they can be federalized; I'm sure it'd be quite the shit-show if that was attempted, tho.
Why send soldiers? I thought the newly hired IRS agents were Merica's front line on healthcare?
I think the IRS agents only have pump shotguns which are not effective on obala.
So we'll mobilize the national guard (do they get the green camouflaged hazmat suit?) but we STILL WON'T SHUT-DOWN THE DAILY IMPORTATION OF THE VIRUS THROUGH COMMERCIAL AIR CARRIERS?
That's right palmdetroit, they're trained soldiers generally supportive of the constitution and the 2nd ammendment. We can't seem to take their guns away from them, so....wait a minute! Besides, that whole VA thing is becoming a real pain in the ass!
Look, I over-estimated ZH sensitivity to sarcasm. Why take people who are so dedicated to their "country" that they risked their lives to protect it , and survived, and send them into a biological nightmare? This is insanity. My point is that the current establishment despises individual freedoms to the extent that he will dictate autonomously that these patriots sacrifice themselves and, potentially, their families for an impossible cause. I've lived in several 3rd world countries; containment by force is an american fantasy, and unfortunately long-standing U.S. foreign policy.
They're training them over there for when we need 'em here... the poor sots.
detoilet...correctomundo. These guys have balls ans knowledge to operate a piece of artillery. They don't lilke this.

Prepositioning troops for WW III, using ebola as an excuse.
this is a GOOD POST! ^^^above^^^
why take the IRR,these kids are OUT, just marking time till they are PFC's (proud frickin' civilians), no rapid deployment forces are going, though...
and Guardsmen...why them, why now?
WW3 in november...bitchez!
But how long does it take them to get ready ? They have rearm them,get them into shape and do training.
guardsmen? not long at all...they could roll now..after some training in an African enviroment...
IRR..during 'Nam, prior service got a 2 week refresher course...and they were gone...
and if they tried to get out of it by not qualifying with their rifle, hung out at sick call..they had wall to wall counseling for that...
no, not long at all...
getting them into fighting shape is not the goal...
GETTING THEM OUTTA THE USA IS!!!
Well now that I have more boots I guess I can put them on the ground in Iraq, Syria. He is laying the grounds for Iraq III.
Because it couldn't be pushed out past the election.
Lord help us
A case of "It's not what they SAY, rather what they DO".
So, with the CDC proclaiming that the US should see "no more than 20 cases in total" this week, are you prepared to lay bets on their "no more than" case prediction next week, or maybe in 2 week's time?
200?
2000?
"Don't worry, it's all Under Control" - until is isn't. THAT is when the "fun begins".
Hey I don't know. Maybe it's like never let a good virus go to waste.
...just me or does it feel like we are living in Biblical times?

Because he is also secretly the President of Ebolaland.

He will get one for medicine.
These are our finest nano-troops, skilled in hand-to-virus combat.
LOL
By fight they mean catch.
HELL NO,! WE WON'T GO!
SHOVE IT,!
That is the reaction I am expecting from the ready reserve. Discharged vets getting called up to go save some africans from a bug. Fuck that.
Yup, the choice between the brig for a little while or death by bleeding from every orifice in some shitty African country I don't even care about...lemmesee...
I'll take the brig, thank you very much.
of course you could still die from bleeding to death from every orifice while IN the brig, too, but I'll still take my chances with the brig...
That money to pay for a worthless degree from a third-rate community college isn't looking like such a bargain for these poor bastards. The ones who signed up out of patriotism should be just as disillusioned.
Is Obama actuallly trying to piss people off? Does he want photo ops of US soldiers puking while bleeding from their eyes and asses?
Is he that stupid, or is the temptation to destroy the Military so great that he just can't fuking help himself?
All meglomaniacs eventually overreach .... this is Obola's
He's not worried -- no problem at all when 1,000 people come over the fence at the Whitehouse instread of one.
He'll just ban photographs like they did with troop coffins.
As always, he's just doing what he's told. If you're gonna speculate, consider what Soros, et al. wants.
One theory is that he will deploy troops in close election states, so they can't vote.
Well there are pros and cons to this.
Con: We might need those people at home to combat this, not off in Africa
Pro: If martial law is declared, or any other sort of civil liberties grab, there will be less people here to enforce it
From a statistical standpoint, there is no way the fucktards in DC could successfully impose martial law in America... All they could do it secure city centers and strategic targets... FFS, we spent 20 years in Iraq and could not secure Bagdad during the entire time... No way in hell does the government control the populace of the US except through fear... Ebola is the new boogieman...
Successfully? By whose standard?
Besides, you already stated how they would do it. FEAR
Remember, the sheeple's main complaint with Obummer is that he's not been a man of action. They want a strongman to save them, well then, a strongman they will get. Exact same reason why most US wars have been started by Democrats.
My point was that from a boots on the ground standpoint, the government does not have the personnel to secure the country if someone wanted to oppose them... The same military tactics that have been kicking the US military's ass since Vietnam will work just fine in-country... The sheeple are going to get fleeced, same as always and will follow the authorities lead...
They can con the masses with TV. I bet 75% of the posters on ZH still watch TV like idiots.
They prefer to use Blackwater troups at home and get any other trained military personal out where they can't do us any good when the hammer goes down.
The reservists are called up to fight a virus in Africa.
Only they won't be going to Africa to fight.
Lockdown USA more like it.
Boston was just practice.
This is closer to the truth I think.
And the Guard is being mobiized for internal checkpoints.
If you are on the list what easier way to pick you up and take you off than saying you are displaying symptoms.
Translation: those pesky Chinese have bought Africa...time to invade and take ownership.
yes...doesn't everybody wants to own a plague-ridden continent ??
Don't shoot until you see the whites of their proteins...
Let's just hope the troops are each issued with a clipboard to protect themselves.
