Militarizing the “Homeland”: NORTHCOM’s Joint Task Force-Civil Support

2008-10-12T18:36:00.000-07:00

Antifascist Calling reported October 6 that nine months prior to the
9/11 terrorist attacks, Donald Rumsfeld signed off on revisions for the
Pentagon’s secretive Continuity of Operations Program (COOP).

Based on a document (AR 500-3) published by the whistleblowing website
Wikileaks, it described “all hazards COOP planning” as the
mechanism by which “the Army remains capable of continuing
mission-essential operations during any situation, including military
attack, terrorist activities, and natural or man-made disasters.”

The Wikileaks document is all the more relevant since a September
report in Army Times described how the 3rd Infantry Division’s
1st Brigade Combat Team (BCT) would be deployed October 1 “under
the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North,” the “service
component” of NORTHCOM.

Was Alan Greenspan really as dumb as he looks in creating the late housing bubble that threatens to bring the entire Western debt-based economy crashing down?
Was something as easy to foresee as this really the trigger for a meltdown that could destroy the world’s financial system? Or was it done, perhaps, "accidentally on purpose"?
And if so, why? Is an International Financial Conspiracy Driving World Events?

“Thousands” Illegally Rendered By Bush Administration for Interrogation, Torture

2007-11-30T14:29:00.000-08:00

In violation of international and U.S. law, “thousands” of alleged terrorists have been victims of “extraordinary rendition” by the Bush Administration since 9/11, two legal scholars say. “Instead of working to bring those committing crimes against the United States to justice in U.S. courts, the Bush Administration seems intent on doing exactly the opposite—keeping such individuals away from U.S. courts, hidden in a web of secret prisons, underground interrogation cells, and in the hands of cooperative governments,” write Margaret Satterthwaite and Angela Fisher. Satterthwaite is an assistant professor of clinical law at NYU School of Law and Fisher served as assistant research scholar with the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice.
