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

Indianapolis will become a "mock battlefield" for the
next three weeks according to local press, as over two thousand
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 thousands 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 thousands of troops on the streets.
