There has been concern, especially coming out of Michigan, that local Islamic militants had compromised the FBI offices there. You can look it up elsewhere on the net, but people in the military now think that the FBI overall may in fact be compromised with regard to Islamic militants operating training facilities and planning their own operations here in the US.

So this is being put in place to legally legitimize some of what has been going on already anyway, but on our end of it and the military end of it, a lot of this is a wait and see approach.

It is one thing to speculate on who is targeted by who and why, entirely another when the hammers drop and the bullshit stops.

There is absolutely nothing new under the sun when it comes to secret arrests, detentions, executions or assassinations, but what is currently going on is the wrangling and positioning between the various arms of the government that feel they have a game to play.

Our end of of it, in my opinion, needs to be the same as it always was on any other possible scenario. Prepare, wait, see, and respond appropriately if action is taken against us or those we care about.

The government of Iran has declared war on us a long time ago,

same with North Korea, several other militant and dictators, some aspiring racial demagogues, a few members of the Russian Duma, some Red Chinese communist die-hards, I think FARC, Hugo Chavez, maybe the Zapatistas...the list goes on.

Oh, and some Zetas apparently specified some of the border militias in their declaration of war against the US while they seemed to have been getting along quite well with their weapons suppliers in the BATF...
