Not only was Blackwater in New Orleans, but the Mexican and Dutch armies as well. I delivered emergency equipment into the New Orleans are after Katrina.
I can tell you that people got their butts kicked on the side of Interstate 10 by some of them.
After 911 we had the Swede air force doing fly overs of US cities, providing "security," we were told it would be cheaper than using our own military.That was just to condition People to accept foreign military on our soil.
During all out martial law you can expect to see more foreign soldiers on our soil. Our politicians, from both Rep. and Dem., are selling us out to one world government.
You need to shake off the fake Paradigm of liberal vs conservative and wake up to it before it is too late. It may already be. |

I think Blackwater is a bunch of disgusting murderous filth, who kill civilians for fun, and then brag about getting away with it... and if I ever see these lowlifes on the streets of my town, I'm going straight for my rifle (and I don't mean to hand it in).
US civilians would be far less safe with these thugs around providing "security." We'd be better off taking care of ourselves. If Blackwater ever got free reign on the American people during a martial law scenario, they would revert to the godless animals that they are, and start killing and raping defenseless suburbanites and their daughters, without consequence. This is how they conduct themselves in other countries, why should we expect any different here? |

Plain wrong. Anyone charged with patrolling the populace in any way must be under oath to uphold the Constitution. The Blackwater thugs have not a shred of respect for the Constitution - that is why they exist. |

You'd probably feel more comfortable if people had been defending our second amendment rights the way we should have been. Now that we're on the verge of a police state we can't defend ourselves, no neighborhood militia like in 1776. Blackwater can't be any worse than San Jose cops, who shot a lady to death for coming out of her house with a potato peeler. She was one of those big scary, no wait...um, a little tiny Vietnamese woman. They harass people on the street at night in front of the clubs because apparently they think frequenting businesses is a danger to society. They apparently have such good lawyers that they get away with this crap. Protect and serve not harass and control... |

Moyers is a liberal, not a Kook, historically, nations that have to resort to hiring mercenaries fail...if we can't come up with our own military forces then there is a weakness. I don't think we need to hire mercenaries, we have millions of good patriots in this nation that could be called upon. It is a matter of leadership. |

Prime directive of 'mayor' was to disarm everyone 'because of looting'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-taU9d26wT4&feature=related
Directive 51, the prez gave himself 'dictatorial powers' for any particular 'emergency' that he should choose. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html
The reason this worked, disarming law abiding citizens in New Orleans, was that the citizens still believed in the govt working WITH the constitution. Instead, the 'authorities' ran right over the constitution and clearly violated the rights of the population. Taking the citizens down one house at a time was easy, no one fired a shot from the law abiding citizens side. And you may have noticed, if you watched these films, the cops and national guard were not particularly interested in finding any 'looters', it would seem. If the citizens had banded together, would the govt have done another Waco massacre? Probably.
And that economic collapse? Just might be in the works.

Hell No! Those guys are scumbags.
True American soldiers should do it as they love their own people, but unfortunately I think they'll be using foreign troops who have less scruples about shooting Americans dead. |

No way would I want those thugs anywhere near me claiming they are protecting me, if I was going to die I would rather do it in the comfort of my home where I was happy to live minding my own.
Than be bullied, I would have to kill them first.
I have a good size axe I would keep in reach and some strength to use it especially when instinct kicks in to defend myself. |

Whatever mate, I know that they weren't there to dish out humanitarian aid or medical care. They were there on a practice run for when, as you so rightly point out, martial law is declared next year. There are sites you can read up on artificial weather manipulation, so in these wonderful days of technology who knows what's natural and what isn't? I just know that we are all being prepared for a crackdown, and this economical collapse is manipulated by evil powers who have bad things in store for us! |

I have always said that the old laws concerning the Militia in the US should still be in effect. All Males between the ages of 16 and 46 were required by law when there were 13 states to be members of the Militia units. Each individual was required to own and supply his own weapons. There was no such thing as a National Guard and it was not organized until early last century sometime after WWI. Think about it "Every male in the USA" trained with military grade weapons and required to own, qualify annually and maintain at home said weapons. Well now let us do it correctly and train in high school every single American citizen for 3 summers for basic small unit tactics and the use of weapons then you do not need this Blackwater nor would the NOPD nor the national guard would have the authority nor the balls to violate the American Constitution. |

What when and why --- should be applied to this assumption of martial law ---
What do we need it for --- what is it to accomplish ?
Why is that the only option available to accomplish what we have set out to do ?
When is it needed if ever and when is it not needed ?
--------------------------
Notice that the wording is creeping away from those questions - when it moves and how it moves away from those questions
Because if you aren't aware --- then martial law really will be sold to you as the only response for a situation with no goals and no objective and no way out .
--------------------------------------...
Now that we have assumed in your question it has to happen - the question has been neatly moved to
Who gets to do it
And that in and of itself is a distraction from my list of questions - which would never suit any group wanting to impose it for evil purposes
--------------------
Blackwater is a private military -- a modern band of mercenaries there to do the dirty work that a government can't afford to get caught doing
------------ If that has become one of the choices for the assumed need of martial law --
The puppet master has done well -- in fact better than expected
--------------------------------------...
All your worried about is who now --- and if when -why and so on are all long gone and forgotten questions
A few more riots and a couple more crime spree's and you should be so terrified -- that anything will seem like a good idea
Your only steps away now --- keep going -- forget to ask logical questions and only respond out of fear now
---------------------------
Mercenaries will seem the only ones capable of doing the job next
"But how much will it cost tax payers" ---- that is your next distraction from logic |

funny I seem to remember that it's unconstitutional to raise a private army. but don't worry Obama wants to equip a civilian militia for OUR safety. probable the Black Panthers. |

if they were needed I would
I hate nothing more than the type of people that were stealing TV's and things they did not need during the disaster
Same thing happened in L.A.
That should never happen again
If it requires shooting the lowlives then so be it. |

Private security would not work during martial law. This is a moot point........... |

Blackwater is a company that provides private security officers.
What's the problem with this?
Where else did you expect the government to get well-trained security officers on a moment's notice?
Do you think they could pull them out of your local K-Mart?
The National Guard and NOPD were overwhelmed after Katrina (please note the proper spelling) because of widespread looting and crime.
They needed reinforcements so that they could go house to house and check for survivors and bodies.
Moyers is a kook who looks for anti-Bush conspiracies under every pebble.
If and when the "economy collapses"
and if and when that leads to wide-spread looting and civil disturbances and rioting,
and if and when that exceeds the ability of the local police and National Guard to control,
most Americans would likely be happy to have whatever security forces possible to protect their lives and property from harm.
Citizens of New Orleans were forced to defend themselves from looters and criminals after Katrina.
Fortunately, many had firearms.
Do you?

Good grief, another liberal who believes the sky is falling. Martians may attack tomorrow. Please report to your hole.
Blackwater will never provide any national patrol in the US. |
