Quote:About 1.5K soldiers on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota amid protests: Reports
The Pentagon has ordered roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers to ready for a possible deployment to Minnesota, according to several media reports, citing unnamed defense officials.
The move comes after President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act amid widespread protests in Minneapolis and nearby areas following Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shooting two people, one fatally.
News outlets reported the troops come from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, which specializes in cold-weather operations.
The unnamed defense officials said the Army placed its units on standby in case the violence in Minnesota escalates, saying it’s unclear whether the soldiers will be sent to the state.
“We are taking prudent steps to prepare active-duty Army forces,” a defense official told ABC News, which was first to report on the potential deployment. “This doesn’t mean they will deploy; we are preparing options.” https://thehill.com/policy/defense/56947...minnesota/
Shit... 11th Airborne goes hard...

Posted already but worth posting again.
The protestors are morons.
Take a look at them ...

Makes me wonder... I'm thinking if it doesn't chill the next few days, Trump sends them in. Or he could be prodding Minnesota LEO to do the damn job

The 11th is cold-weather arctic specialized. I wonder where else those 1500 troops might be useful, since they're being called up for operations in "Minnesota"?

This nonprofit empire is larger than the combined GDP of Japan, Germany, and India. It exceeds the entire federal budget. It has grown from under $2 trillion in the 1990s to a force that now rivals nation-states.
And not one penny of it answers to a single American voter.

That deserves its own thread. Explains all the lunacy happening these days.

I might do that.
Im semi-plugged into politics in general and still had no clue the grift was to this level. We hear of corruption investigations, indictments and convictions every week.
Most people in my circle have no clue, but the consensus is the government REGARDLESS of party affiliation, is going to grift, is their default mode, mine too. The question is who, how much, and who is the "mark."
As per usual its the American taxpayer,
The amounts are astronomical, so much so that words can't convey the volume. Our "vintage" professionals and organized criminal organizations are likely in awe and salute the minds that dreamed of and executed this with so many politicians, and essentially PACs as willing partners of the conspiracy...

It ties in with what Mike Benz has been tweeting and talking about on Joe Rogan for a couple of years now.
This is how we got the one sided globalist news in Europe as well. Your tax dollars indirectly funded the world wide propaganda machine that tells me in Europe that everything Trump says or does is bad and also because of that we had 4 years of radio silence on American politics in Europe when Biden was fucking up.
And its exactly why Im so interested in following American news and politics closely. I dont like to be lied to and I think it brings me closer to the truth.

It's such a huge amount of money that it gets "laundered" and used as individual campaign contributions; 17 individuals in a Minnesota Day Care subsidize daycare, all donated the maximum $1000 per to the same politician's campaigns
