orth Bergen, NJ -- As a radio talk
show host, I receive a whole slew of e-mail and regular mail
about virtually every issue under the sun. Much of it gets
deleted or thrown away. Some of it results in stories appearing
on my web site or being discussed on my show. Every once in
awhile, something akin to a bombshell arrives and yesterday,
July 18, 2007 was one such day.
I came into possession of portions of a U.S. military plan which
was allegedly classified "Top Secret." This put me in a bind
because without having a security clearance myself, having
something which is Classified is unlawful. Reading such a
document is also unlawful and revealing it to the public is
definitely unlawful. So, I thought about it. I decided screw it,
I'm going to read it.
As I read the document, my blood ran cold. Chills ran up my
spine. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. My gut started
churning. This document is an operational plan to use U.S.
military troops against U.S. Citizens!
The plan says "A perceived serious potential of dissident
American groups rising up against constituted authority has
been clearly identified by counter-intelligence agencies.
[Underlining mine]
The plan goes on to say why people are clearly thinking of
rising up and throwing-off our federal government by saying "The
stated cause for such an uprising appear to be growing
dissatisfaction with the course and conduct of the war in Iraq,
the chronic inability of Congress to deal with various pressing
issues and the perception of widespread corruption and
indifference to public needs."
Sounds accurate to me. In fact, it describes perfectly
reasonable justification for the America people to utilize our
original right of self-defense against such a government or for
us to impose reform!
Most stunning about the plan is that it talks about political
reform and offers an unbelievably out-of-touch, completely
un-American observation: "Reform may be necessary, but reform
is a matter for the state . . . . ."
A matter for the state? We The People ARE the state. We The
People decide on reform. For this U.S. military plan to assert
"Reform may be necessary, but reform is a matter for the state"
is like reading something out of the old Soviet Union! What
planet are these people on?
The truly chilling parts of this plan involve the use of
"Informant nets" of Americans literally spying on their
fellow citizens and "Block Control" where the plan calls
for "trusted resident reports on the activities of people in
their neighborhoods." Folks, this is what Fidel Castro does
in Communist Cuba!
As you read the details below, remember this: This plan has been
drawn up by OUR military. The military WE hired, WE train, WE
equip, WE feed, WE clothe, WE house. It is an OUTRAGE that
anyone in our military would DARE to even create such plan,
nevermind try to implement it!
A Blunt warning to our
Government and our Military:
In our nation of 300 million people, there
are at least 95 million lawful gun owners. Those 95 million guns
owners lawfully possess 212 million firearms.
Even if the government recalled ALL military members from around
the entire world, they would have a force of only about two
million.
95 million gun owners versus 2 million troops. I think we all
know how this would turn out: the government would be
slaughtered.
In fact, if only ten percent of the 95 million gun owners had
guts enough to fight, we would still outnumber the military
almost 3:1.
We The People of the United States aren't the least bit worried
about government tanks and planes, those tools are useless in
guerilla warfare. Want proof? Iraq! The U.S. government is
getting its ass kicked over there. Government wouldn't last a
week if they tried implenting this plan here.
Government would do well to remember they exist at the whim and
behest of the American people. Government in this land exists to
serve us as we direct.
The power government wields belongs to The People. We The People
merely LEND part of our power to government and we have the
absolute right to take that power back at any time we deem
appropriate. In fact, the founding fathers made clear we can
take it back in any MANNER we deem appropriate! That's why they
gave us the Second Amendment!
If the U.S. government or military dares attempt to implement
this plan, they should expect to be killed.

This publication uses the term insurgent to describe those
taking part in any activity designed to undermine or to
overthrow the established authorities
Counterinsurgency is those military, paramilitary, political,
economic, psychological, and civicactions taken by a government
to defeat insurgency (JP 1-02). It is an offensive approach
involving all elements of national power; it can take place
across the range of operations and spectrum of conflict
In dealing with the local populace, the primary aims must be to:
·Protect the population.
·Establish local political institutions.
·Reinforce local governments.
·Eliminate insurgent capabilities.
·Exploit information from local sources.
An insurgency is organized movement aimed at the overthrow of a
constituted government through use of subversion and armed
conflict (JP 1-02). It is a protracted politico-military
struggle designed to weaken government control and legitimacy
while increasing insurgent control. Political power is the
central issue in an insurgency.
An insurgent organization normally consists of four elements:
Leadership.
Combatants (main forces, regional forces, local forces).
Cadre (local political leaders that are also called the
militants).
Mass base (the bulk of the membership).
The support of the people, passive or active then, is the center
of gravity. It must be gained in whatever proportion is
necessary to sustain the insurgent movement (or, contrariwise,
to defeat it). As in any political campaign, all levels of
support are relative.
Insurgent movements begin as "fire in the minds of men."
Insurgent leaders commit themselves to building a new world.
They construct the organization to carry through this desire.
Generally, popular grievances become insurgent causes when
interpreted and shaped by the insurgent leadership. The
insurgency grows if the cadre that is local insurgent leaders
and representatives can establish a link between the insurgent
movement and the desire for solutions to grievances sought by
the local population
Insurgent leaders will exploit opportunities created by
government security force actions. The behavior of security
forces is critical. Lack of security force discipline leads to
alienation, and security force abuse of the populace is a very
effective insurgent recruiting tool. Consequently, specific
insurgent tactical actions are often planned to frequently
elicit overreaction from security force individuals and units.
Insurgencies are dynamic political movements, resulting from
real or perceived grievance or neglect that leads to alienation
from an established government.
A successful counterinsurgency will result in the neutralization
by the state of the insurgency and its effort to form a
counterstate. While many abortive insurgencies are defeated by
military and police actions alone, if an insurgency has tapped
into serious grievances and has mobilized a significant portion
of the population, simply returning to the status quo may not be
an option. Reform may be necessary, but reform is a matter for
the state, using all of its human and material resources.
Security forces are only one such resource. The response must be
multifaceted and coordinated, yet states typically charge their
security forces with "waging counterinsurgency." This the
security forces cannot do alone.
These imperatives are-
· Facilitate establishment or reestablishment of a 'legitimate
government'.
· Counterinsurgency requires perseverance.
· Foster popular support for the incumbent US government.
· Prepare to perform functions and conduct operations that are
outside normal scope of training.
· Coordinate with US governmental departments and agencies, and
with vital non-governmental, agencies.
Urban operations.
· Protection of government facilities.
· Protection of infrastructure.
· Protection of commercial enterprises vital to the HN economy.
· Protection of cultural facilities.
· Prevention of looting.
· Military police functions.
· Close interaction with civilians.
· Assistance with reconstruction projects.
· Securing the national borders.
· Training or retraining a national military police and security
force.
Establishing and maintaining local government credibility.
· Contributing local government is both tangible and
psychological. Local security forces must reinforce and be
integrated into the plan at every stage.
· Facilitate and use information and intelligence obtained from
local sources to gain access to the insurgent's economic and
social base of support, order of battle, tactics, techniques,
and procedures.
Army forces help local pro-government police, paramilitary, and
military forces perform counterinsurgency, area security, or
local security operations. They advise and assist in finding,
dispersing, capturing, and destroying the insurgent force.
US forces may conduct offensive operations to disrupt and
destroy insurgent combat formations. These operations prevent
the insurgents from attacking government-controlled areas.
There are many organizations and extensive resources available
to aid counterinsurgent forces.
Commanders should not overlook the aid these organizations may
provide. All forces assigned an AO or function should determine
which departments and agencies are assisting in that AO and
coordinate actions so that there is no duplication of effort.
Such departments,
councils and agencies include-
· National Security Council.
· Department of Defense.
· Department of State.
· Department of Justice.
· Department of the Treasury.
· Department of Homeland Security.
· Department of Agriculture.
· Department of Commerce.
· Central Intelligence Agency.
· Department of Transportation
Various governmental departments directly administer or support
other governmental agencies. Examples of these US agencies are-
· The US Coast Guard (under Department of Homeland Security).
· The Federal Bureau of Investigation (under Department of
Justice).
· Immigration Customs Enforcement (under Department of Homeland
Security).
· Federal Communications Commission
. The proper application of force is a critical component to any
successful counterinsurgency operation. In a counterinsurgency,
the center of gravity is public support. In order to defeat an
insurgent force, US forces must be able to separate insurgents
from the population. At the same time, US forces must conduct
themselves in a manner that enables them to maintain popular
domestic support. Excessive or indiscriminant use of force is
likely to alienate the local populace, thereby increasing
support for insurgent forces. Insufficient use of force results
in increased risks to US forces and perceived weaknesses that
can jeopardize the mission by emboldening insurgents and
undermining domestic popular support. Achieving the appropriate
balance requires a thorough understanding of the nature and
causes of the insurgency, the end state, and the military's role
in a counterinsurgency operation. Nevertheless, US forces always
retain the right to use necessary and proportional force for
individual and unit self-defense in response to a hostile act or
demonstrated hostile intent.
The media, print and broadcast (radio, television and the
Internet), play a vital role in societies involved in a
counterinsurgency. Members of the media have a significant
influence and shaping impact on political direction, national
security objectives, and policy and national will. The media is
a factor in military operations. It is their right and
obligation to report to their respective audiences on the use of
military force. They demand logistic support and access to
military operations while refusing to be controlled. Their
desire for immediate footage and on-the-spot coverage of events,
and the increasing contact with units and Soldiers (for example,
with embedded reporters) require commanders and public affairs
officers to provide guidance to leaders and Soldiers on media
relations. However, military planners must provide and enforce
ground rules to the media to ensure operations security. Public
affairs offices plan for daily briefings and a special briefing
after each significant event because the media affect and
influence each potential target audience external and internal
to the AO. Speaking with the media in a forward-deployed area is
an opportunity to explain what our organizations and efforts
have accomplished.
Continuous PSYOP are mounted to-
· Counter the effects of insurgent propaganda.
· Relate controls to the security and well-being of the
population.
· Portray a favorable governmental image.
.Control measures must-
· Be authorized by national laws and regulations (counterparts
should be trained not to improvise unauthorized measures).
· Be tailored to fit the situation (apply the minimum force
required to achieve the de-sired result).
· Be supported by effective local intelligence.
· Be instituted in as wide an area as possible to prevent bypass
or evasion.
· Be supported by good communications.
· Be enforceable.
· Be lifted as the need diminishes.
· Be compatible, where possible, with local customs and
traditions.
· Establish and maintain credibility of local government.
A control program may be developed in five phases:
· Securing and defending the area internally and externally.
· Organizing for law enforcement.
· Executing cordon and search operations.
· Screening and documenting the population (performing a
detailed census).
· Performing public administration, to include resource control.
Support to the judiciary may be limited to providing security to
the existing courts or may lead to more comprehensive actions to
build local, regional, and national courts and the required
support apparatus. To avoid overcrowding in police jails, the
courts must have an efficient and timely magistrate capability,
ideally co-located with police stations and police jails, to
review cases for trial.
Cordon and search is a technique used by military and police
forces in both urban and rural environments. It is frequently
used by counterinsurgency forces conducting a population and
resource control mission against small centers of population or
subdivisions of a larger community. To be effective, cordon and
search operations must have sufficient forces to effectively
cordon off and thoroughly search target areas, to include
subsurface areas.
PSYOP, civil affairs, and specialist interrogation teams should
augment cordon and search orces to increase the effectiveness of
operations. Consider the following when conducting cordon and
search operations:
Cordon and search operations may be conducted as follows:
Disposition of troops should-
· Facilitate visual contact between posts within the cordon.
· Provide for adequate patrolling and immediate deployment of an
effective re-serve force.
Priority should be given to-
· Sealing the administrative center of the community.
· Occupying all critical facilities.
· Detaining personnel in place.
· Preserving and securing all records, files, and other
archives.
Key facilities include-
· Administrative buildings.
· Police stations.
· News media facilities.
· Post offices.
· Communications centers.
· Transportation offices and motor pools.
· Prisons and other places of detention.
· Schools.
· Medical facilities.
Search Techniques include-
· Search teams of squad size organized in assault, support, and
security elements.
One target is assigned per team.
· Room searches are conducted by two-person teams.
· Room search teams are armed with pistols, assault weapons, and
automatic weapons.
· Providing security for search teams screening operations and
facilities.
Pre-search coordination includes-
· Between control personnel and screening team leaders.
· Study of layout plans.
· Communications, that is, radio, whistle, and hand signals.
· Disposition of suspects.
· On-site security.
· Guard entrances, exits (to include the roof), halls,
corridors, and tunnels.
· Assign contingency tasks for reserve.
· Room searches conducted by two- or three-person teams.
· Immobilize occupants with one team member.
· Search room with other team member.
· Search all occupants. When available, a third team member
should be the re-corder.
· Place documents in a numbered envelope and tag the associated
individual with a corresponding number.
SCREENING AND DOCUMENTING THE POPULATION
Screening and documentation include following:
· Systematic identification and registration.
· Issuance of individual identification cards containing-
A unique number.
Picture of individual.
Personal identification data.
Fingerprints.
An official stamp (use different colors for each administration
region).
Family group census cards, an official copy of which is retained
at the local po-lice agency. These must include a picture and
appropriate personal data.
Frequent use of mobile and fixed checkpoints for inspection,
identification, and reg-istration of documents.
Preventing counterfeiting of identification and registration
documents by laminat-ing and embossing.
Programs to inform the population of the need for identification
and registration.
Covert surveillance is a collection effort with the
responsibility fixed at the intelligence/security division or
detective division of the police department. Covert techniques,
ranging from application of sophisticated electronics systems to
informants, should include-
Informant nets. Reliability of informants should be verified.
Protection of identity is a must.
Block control. Dividing a community or populated area into zones
where a trusted resident reports on the activities of the
population. If the loyalty of block leaders is questionable, an
informant net can be established to verify questionable areas.

. . . . . . The document continues, page after page, throughout
almost nine-hundred pages. In those other pages, the document
outlines "REX
84" "FEMA
concentration camps", already established, constructed and
manned inside the United States, to be utilized to house
"insurgents" who are rounded-up by government.
Conclusions
When I read the document, I knew that I could
be criminally prosecuted for having it, prosecuted on a separate
charge for reading it and prosecuted yet again for releasing
information contained within it.
I decided that the threat to Liberty posed by the document made
it imperative that I take action and I have done so. Now, all of
you know!
I also realized that in order for the U.S. Government to
prosecute me, the document would have to be authentic. They
would have to admit the Document is authentic and actually
Classified in order to bring any prosecution.
Since such an admission would prove me right and be an ominous
warning to all of you that real trouble is here, I suspect I am
safe from any reprisals for the time being. It's a gamble with
enormous consequences, but saving our Republic from a tyrannical
government is worth my risk.
It is clear to me that very serious things are on the horizon
here in America. It will be up to us, citizen-patriots, to step
up to defend our liberty. I am ready. Are you?
