Indianapolis To Become "Mock Battlefield"                         Circle City to be site of three week long urban warfare                          training

Steve                          Watson                         Infowars.net                         Thursday, May 29,                          2008

                                  Indianapolis will become a "mock battlefield" for the                  next three weeks according to local press, as over two thounited snakesnd                  marines will stage a huge urban warfare training exercise in and                  around the city.                
About 2,300 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary                  Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., will conduct urban warfare                  training from Wednesday through June 19 in and around Indianapolis,                  reports the Indy                  Star.              
The marines have been granted permission by state,                  federal and local authorities to fire weapons, conduct patrols,                  run vehicle checkpoints, react to ambushes and employ nonlethal                  weapons after landing helicopters and deploying throughout various                  parks, stadiums and fairgrounds.  
“We don’t want anyone thinking that                  there’s an invasion happening or that we declared martial                  law or something like that,” Debbi Fletcher of the Indianapolis/Marion                  County Emergency Management Agency commented.              
“Our aim in Indianapolis is to expose our                  Marines to realistic scenarios and stresses posed by operating                  in an actual urban community, thereby increasing their proficiency                  in built-up areas,” Col. Mark J. Desens, commander of the                  26th MEU, said in a statement. “While some of the activity                  will take place around Camp Atterbury, residents in many areas                  can expect to see helicopters flying overhead, military vehicles                  on the roads and Marines patrolling on foot,” Desens said.

Indianapolis is seemingly welcoming the marines with open arms,                  in stark contrast to the last story of this nature we                  reported on in Toledo, Ohio where Mayor Carty Finkbeiner                  expelled the members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines                  back in February because he did not think it a good idea to have                  uniformed soldiers drilling in a highly visible area as it may                  have disrupted and frightened residents.
               The Mayor was subsequently castigated by the mainstream media                  for taking the decision.
               In response to the criticism and even small protests in Toledo,                  Finkbeiner said “Anybody who suggests that this man is in                  some way, shape, or form not loyal to this country or not loyal                  to the military of this country, well that person is just a plain                  baboon who doesn’t know me in any way, shape, or form and                  what I stand for,”
               It is a well documented that the use of military for law enforcement                   violates                  the Posse Comitatus Act. The increased spate of urban                  warfare drills has many fearing that this long standing law is                  slowly being eroded and everyday Americans becoming acclimatized                  to the idea of an active military in their towns and cities.
               The military has purpose                  built facilities for training, it is unacceptable                  and unlawful to have troops training on the streets of towns and                  cities in America. Nevertheless, the media routinely castigates                  the idea of preventing it from occurring.
               Reporting on this saga, Jim                  Kouri of NewsWithViews.com interviewed former and                  current police chiefs who believe the motive for training US troops                  inside American cities is more sinister:
               “The police power has traditionally been reserved for the                  states. The fact that we’re allowing military troops to                  train in US cities is a violation of that tradition. We don’t                  need federal troops to intervene in matters that should be handled                  by local police officers, state troopers and the National Guard,”                  one former detective states.
               “The increasing use of Urban Warfare Training Exercises,                  I believe, desensitizes both the public to the deployment of military                  forces in their own neighborhoods,” warns a police chief,                  whose mayor endorses the use of military forces within the US.                
               “It also desensitizes military and police personnel so                  that they will accept what was once considered unacceptable,”                  another police chief comments.
               We have previously documented the coordinated program of urban                  warfare drilling in America and how such activity has increased                  in tandem with an growing effort to erode the ancient law of Posse                  Comitatus.
                In 911: The Road                  to Tyranny Alex Jones presents footage of troops training                  to put Americans into Concentration Camps. This footage includes                  interrogations and a retired Marine admitting that in 1988 he                  was kicking down doors in Norfolk, Virginia. The Marines would                  be ordered to the local Police station where they would don Police                  uniforms. They would then go to the local gun shop or dealers                  home and "Take Them Down."
                                                                                    In Alex Jones' feature Police                  State 2000 he covers Operation                  Urban Warrior where actors posed as American citizens                  who were Unconstitutionally seized from their homes by the military                  and police. These Americans: were rounded up and confined behind                  barbed-wire.
               The actors were told to demand to be let free and state that                  they had rights. They were also told to demand food and water.                  The troops in turn were taught to ignore them and to order them                  to behave in an orderly fashion. "Civil disobedience will                  not be tolerated" was one of the many disturbing statements                  heard to emanate from the military's loud speakers.
               Over the years there have been countless drills of this nature.                  The media simply reports them as training for dealing with foreign                  enemies, yet the volunteers and the participants are always told                  differently.
                Here's a report                  on another urban warfare drill entitled "The Millennium                  Challenge 2002". This drill was conducted secretly                  across 26 States in 2002.
                                                                                    In 2005 details of just one of many Military operations on American                  soil was exposed in the run up to Bush's second coronation. A                  secret counterterrorism program code-named Power                  Geyser. A small group of super-secret commandos were hidden                  among 13000 police and troops and "stood ready with state-of-the-art                  weaponry to swing into action.".
               There have been literally thounited snakesnds of these kind of operations                  in the planning and going on for years now. Many designed to use                  the military on the streets of American cities in direct violation                  of Posse Comitatus. The Pentagon has a full Command in operation                  working on these activities, the                  Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
               
We have seen how new provisions will effectively                  nullify the U.S. constitution, and a recent spate of executive                  orders, in particular PDD 51, outline preparations                  for the implementation of open martial law in the                  event of a declared national emergency.              
The Pentagon has                  "War Plans" drafted in the event of any type                  of terror attack, which would be coordinated by Northcom                  in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security                  and would involve martial law and thounited snakesnds of troops on the streets.
