You think it's a joke? It's not.
As part of a deal signed last week in Washington DC between the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and FEMA, Russian officials will provide “security at mass events” in the United States, a scenario that won’t sit well with Americans wary of foreign assets operating on US soil.
You think those FEMA camps are just for hurricanes? Think again.
There is absolutely no reason for this, obviously they are think a mass event is something larger than the Super Bowl which the US can handle just fine.
WHAT IS IN THE OFFING THAT THE GOVT IS HIDING?
Do you have a link so that I may read more about this please?
ReplyDeleteThere was an INFOWARS article about such a deal from a Russian souce, but I haven't found anything else. I'm finding this a bit hard to believe.

There is no mention of events "in the United States". The security is for joint operations. http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/06/several-documents-signed-during-joint-work-of-russian-emergency-ministry-and-fema-2696734.html

DeleteOh yes it does....
Oh no it doesn't, the agreement is available for all to read. Infowars lies.
DeleteMick,

In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations, training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of security at mass events.
Delete"mass events" .....
Hi Jean, what about zombies? Maybe the U.S. and Russia are going to declare war on zombies...
DeleteObama is probably a secret member of the Save The Zombies group. Actually, when I think about it, have you noticed that most of our Congressmen look like zombies, hollow cheeks, sunken eyes and stumbling speech and walk. Yep, obviously a zombie plot.

It is a common fact that people are reluctant to fire on their own so this makes perfect sense. Those who ignore this deserve everything that is coming their way.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of Hessian's.
ReplyDeleteHistory[edit]
John Childs wrote:
Between 1706 and 1707, 10,000 Hessians served as a corps in Eugene of Savoy's army in Italy before moving to the Spanish Netherlands in 1708. In 1714, 6000 Hessians were rented to Sweden for its war with Russia whilst 12,000 Hessians were hired by George I of Great Britain in 1715 to combat the Jacobite Rebellion. ... In the midst of the War of the Austrian Succession in 1744, 6,000 Hessians were fighting with the British army in Flanders whilst another 6,000 were in the Bavarian army. By 1762, 24,000 Hessians were serving with Ferdinand of Brunswick's army in Germany.[4]
During the American Revolutionary War, Landgrave Frederick II of Hesse-Kassel (a principality in northern Hesse or Hessia) and other German leaders hired out some of their regular army units to Great Britain for use to fight against the Patriots in the American revolution. About 30,000 of these men served in America. They were called Hessians, because the largest group (12,992 of the total 30,067 men) came from Hesse-Kassel. They came in entire units with their usual uniforms, flags, weapons and officers.
Units were sent by Count William of Hesse-Hanau; Duke Charles I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel; Prince Frederick of Waldeck; Margrave Karl Alexander of Ansbach-Bayreuth; and Prince Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Zerbst.
Hessian hussars in America
The Hessians did not act individually. Their princes determined whether to hire out the units. Many of the men were press-ganged into Hessian service. Deserters were summarily executed or beaten by an entire company.[5]
Hessians comprised approximately one-quarter of the forces fielded by the British in the American Revolution. They included jäger, hussars, three artillery companies, and four battalions of grenadiers. Most of the infantry were chasseurs (sharpshooters), musketeers, and fusiliers. They were armed with smoothbore muskets, while the Hessian artillery used three-pounder cannon. Initially the average regiment was made up of 500 to 600 men. Later in the war, the regiments had only 300 to 400 men.[citation needed]
About 18,000 Hessian troops first arrived in North America in 1776, with more coming in later. They landed at Staten Island in New York on August 15, 1776. Their first engagement was in the Battle of Long Island. The Hessians fought in almost every battle, although after 1777, the British used them mainly as garrison troops. An assortment of Hessians fought in the battles and campaigns in the southern states during 1778–80 (including Guilford Courthouse), and two regiments fought at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781.
The British use of Hessian troops rankled American sentiment, and pushed some Loyalists to favor the revolution. The British use of non-English speaking foreign troops to put down the rebellion was seen as insulting, as it treated British subjects no differently than non-British subjects. Pro-British Tories believed that the British colonists deserved more than mercenary foes.
Hessian captives[edit]
ReplyDeleteHessian soldiers captured during the Battle at Trenton taken to Philadelphia.
In the Battle of Trenton, the Hessian force of 1,400 was surprised and virtually destroyed by the Continentals, with about 20 killed, 100 wounded, and 1,000 captured as prisoners. General George Washington's Continental Army had crossed the Delaware River to make a surprise attack on the Hessians on the early morning of December 26, 1776.[6]
Family records of Johann Nicholas Bahner(t), one of the Hessians captured in the Battle of Trenton, indicate that some of the Hessian soldiers were told they were needed to defend the American Colonies against Indian incursions. When they arrived in North America, they discovered they had been hired to fight against the British colonists, rather than the Indians.[7] The Hessians captured in the Battle of Trenton were paraded through the streets of Philadelphia to raise American morale; anger at their presence helped the Continental Army recruit new soldiers.[8] Most of the prisoners were sent to work as farm hands.[9]
By early 1778, negotiations for the exchange of prisoners between Washington and the British had begun in earnest. On a one-for-one exchange if a Hessian soldier deserted, there would be one less American who would return home.[10] Nicholas Bahner(t), Jacob Strobe, George Geisler, and Conrad Kramm are a few of the Hessian soldiers who deserted the British forces after being returned in exchange for American prisoners of war.[11] These men were hunted by the British for being deserters, and by many of the colonists as an enemy.
Americans tried to entice Hessians to desert from the British and join the large German-American population. The US Congress authorized the offer of 50 acres (approximately 20 hectares) of land to individual Hessian soldiers to encourage them to desert. They offered 50 to 800 acres to British soldiers, depending on rank.[12]
In August 1777, a satirical letter, "The Sale of the Hessians", was widely distributed. It claimed that a Hessian commander wanted more of his soldiers dead so that he could be better compensated. For many years, the author of the letter was unknown. In 1874, John Bigelow translated it to English (from a French version) and claimed that Benjamin Franklin wrote it, including it in his autobiography, The Life of Benjamin Franklin, published that year. There appears to be no evidence to support this claim.[13]
When the British General John Burgoyne surrendered to American General Horatio Gates during the Saratoga campaign in 1777, his forces included around 5,800 troops. The surrender was negotiated in the Convention of Saratoga, and Burgoyne's remnant army became known as the Convention Army. "Hessian" soldiers from Brunswick-Lüneburg, under General Riedesel, comprised a high percentage of the Convention Army. The Americans marched the prisoners to Charlottesville, Virginia, where they were imprisoned in the Albemarle Barracks until 1781. From there, they were sent to Reading, Pennsylvania, until 1783.
Once again, Obama's grand plan for the Middle East is thwarted. Exactly what his grand plan is, I have no idea. But I know this is not it. Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama pretended to support the Democratic protesters.

"Exactly what his grand plan is, I have no idea."
DeleteBut that doesn't stop you from telling us ad nauseum what you think it is.
Frank Gaffney, David Horowitz, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have claimed that the Conservative Political Action Conference, a leading conservative organization, has been infiltrated or taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood. Gaffney has accused CPAC board members Suhail Khan and Grover Norquist of being Islamists. In response, CPAC excluded Gaffney from its meetings, labeling him a "crazy bigot". Norquist was targeted based on the ethnicity of his wife, who is of Palestinian descent
