Marine exercise in Toledo Ohio: an attack on democratic rights
The mayor subsequently declared that he had not even been notified of the Marine deployment, and learned of it only through Toledo’s major newspaper, the Blade, on the day of their arrival.
Sergeant Davis agreed and, after a brief stop at a Marine base in nearby Perrysburg, Ohio, he and the rest of the company returned to their Grand Rapids, Michigan, base.
According to Brian Schwartz, the mayor’s spokesperson, Mayor Finkbeiner took this action because armed Marines patrolling city streets “frighten people” (“Mayor to Marines, Leave downtown,” the Blade, 9 February 2008). In 2006, the same Marines battalion trained in downtown Toledo, and the mayor said that at that time he “saw the military with guns drawn emulating warfare, and I observed the expressions of citizens who happened to just be coming down the sidewalk that particular Saturday noon in wonderment, asking, ‘What have I found myself in the middle of?’” The mayor added that he saw looks of “wonderment” and “fear” on the faces of these citizens.

America Deceived (book)
I know you yanks think everything US is the best in the world, but the reality is that the rest of the world seems to see it quite differently, from an unbiassed & realistic perspective that is.....
We the People do NOT want constant reminders all over our cities that the Bush cabal has destroyed the Constitution and rule of law so terrible.; it is depressing enough to realize that twisted and evil traitors are occupying the Oval office...having the first new brownshirts patrolling our streets is a slap in the face for democracy.
If this continues, the People will need to prepare to fight the intruders on the same streets they are trying to take now. It is all indoctrination and getting us accustomed to being herded and rounded up by soldiers..battle lines are being drawn, and having a US uniform on will not be a safe way to avoid being targeted when..not if..the martial law is imposed after the next false flag inside job gives the criminal in chief the cause he invented to take complete control.
America is GONE...wake up and smell the excrement as it slithers into your town and sets up in properation for the big takedown..it coming. Marines should be storming a beach somewhere...somewhere far away..and NOT instilling fear and loathing in the people here at home. get rid of all military in our cities and confine them to military reservations...for their own safety as well as ours...
read this p.d.f its eye opening i bet you haven't seen it anywhere else and it has been officially sanctioned copies have gone to all the kamps in amerika. they are just waiting for you. The horifying thing is that this is exactly the same thing the NAZIS instituted in 1940 and its signed off here in 2005. and you weren't told a thing.
The should also take my Guns away and rape my wife since that will help them protect us better !!
Nobody trusts the Military anymore and they are just as bad as any terrorists because the will do anything they are told to do and besides they both take orders from the same people. (north woods anyone?)
They need to wake up because I wont stand here and let these sick bastards crawl all over my home stealing things while the rape any woman in sight much like they do in Iraq and other places.
I left Toledo due to it's inabilty to provide jobs for the local
workforce.. There has always been a police-state undertow there.
I have returned many times and see the tyranny strengthening.
I am happy the Mayor put the screws to the military
industrial complex for a change. Keep them out of OUR cities!
Keep up the good work!
The problem is that people obsess too much over party politics. The country is run by people who don't give a rats ass about on party or the other, only about power and they will use anyone of any party for that purpose. That's why no matter who you vote for, the same policies get elected.
Think things will be different if Obama or Hillary is elected? Hah! The joke's on you!

We do not need people creating a false bogymen. We need a Congress that is doing it's job and we need a moral and ethic President. The last 24 years have shown that we do not and have not had either.
Vote for Ron Paul and we just might be able to get back all that the ELITE has taken away.
Bush and the neocons have shredded the constitution and bill of rights, Bush refered to the constitution as "Just a godammed piece of paper" as he referred to the Geneve Conventions as "quaint" I also recall Bush and Cheney REFUSING to be questioned by the 911 Commision, and only after a huge political backlash agreed to appear not individually but together, would not testify under oath, nor would they allow transcripts of their "testimony" Does that sound like the behaviour of people who have the best interests of the people at heart, or is it more consistent with the behaviour of CRIMINALS who have a lot to hide and a lot to lose? Smoke and Mirrors Brazzm everything you think is reality, smoke and mirrors, 911? smoke and mirrors.
Sorry Brazzm, I have been a bit harsh on you but for good reason, for every honest, patriotic American I can wake up to what is really going on, and if that person then follows in turn, we may just be able to thwart the evil assholes who have plans for every man woman and child in the US.
Did you read the declassified document posted above Brazzm? If you did do you still have the same opinion of the intent of the excercises in metro America?? You may not be aware that troops in Iraq have been asked point blank if they would in the case of an emergency shoot american citizens? I am NOT making this up, if you want the proof I will post it, it comes from the mouth of an Iraqi Vet. SMOKE AND MIRRORS Brazzm.
So. You've arrived on scene. The situation has been described to you and you are confident your superiors would NEVER LIE to you. You are told to shoot to kill to stop "a riot". What are you going to do?
I'm not sure people like you are aware of the rage building out here in the hinterlands. You, sir, would want to be very very sure of yourself before shooting at civilians here in my neck of the woods. You might get a really nasty surprise. So you better just be REAL SURE of yourself there, sonny, afraid to even sign your real name to your comments.

I wonder if the eerily silent "brazzm" is getting the picture yet?
Foreign AND domestic brazzm, I would put Domestic in the priorities basket at this time.
90% of the propaganda fed to these nitwits my 3yo son would laugh at, but here we have grown adults who are for all intents and purposes catatonic?? Too preocupied with American Idol, NBL,NFL, Oprah and KFC/ McDonalds oh! and that watered down cats piss the yanks call beer I suspect?
I hope Brazzm hasnt been overwhelmed at having his delusions shattered, he is awfully quiet for a former US Marine? Gimme an Ooorah Brazzm, I'm worried about you.
