How Will Our Troops Ever Get Home?

<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We presently have 1.4 million active duty service personnel serving in our military. Of that number, almost 20% of our military is stationed overseas. Our military is presently in almost 200 countries. The largest contingent of troops stationed overseas is in Afghanistan where we have 68,000 troops engaged in an ill-defined and seemingly pointless war. I can see no visible reason why the longest war in US history is not ended and our troops are not brought home. We are needlessly throwing away young American lives and for what? From a military point of view, it makes no sense to keep our troops in Afghanistan. This issue first came to me in a dream about the fate of our overseas troops should we go into civil war. I believe that our troops are about to be abandoned so that they cannot pose a threat on the domestic front to the powers that be.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img src="http://www.notbeinggoverned.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/soldier-and-flag.jpg" /></div><h2 align="center" style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Dot Connecting</span></h2><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I interviewed Dr. Jim Garrow, I actually asked him about the fate of our troops in places like Afghanistan if America goes into a civil war. Garrow acknowledged that these troops would be in trouble, but he refused to elaborate because to do so, would violate his security oath he signed as a member of the CIA.</span></div><!-- BEGIN TAG - DO NOT MODIFY --><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ epom_key = "58a2f5117e08ea757dd860388cddcb60"; epom_channel = ""; epom_code_format = "ads"; epom_ads_host = "//www.adshost2.com"; epom_click = ""; epom_custom_params = {}; epom_width = "300"; epom_height = "250"; epom_sandbox_configuration = "allow-forms, allow-pointer-lock, allow-popups, allow-same-origin, allow-scripts, allow-top-navigation"; document.write("<script type='text\/javascript' src='"+(location.protocol == 'https:' ?

The ones that are willing to discuss this scenario are being vague because they fear undermining military plans to protect these troops if they were abandoned by this administration in the event of domestic conflict.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing that my sources unanimously agreed upon, is that our overseas troops would be abandoned so they could not render aid to the American people in the midst of a martial law crackdown.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been told, off the record, that DHS has more ammunition at its disposal than our troops in Afghanistan (2.2 billion rounds of ammunition compared to 1.8 billion rounds of ammunition). About one in six of our troops in Afghanistan are actually placed in combat situations on a routine basis. The rest of the personnel serve in a support capacity and are not well-armed. Our troops in Afghanistan are grossly under supplied given the overall size of the force. The air cover and air resources are inadequate to maintain a meaningful campaign against another conventional land force of its size. In other words, some of my military consultants feel that the force could be defeated by a smaller, well-armed force unless the Americans were to receive outside help. I have been told that this was a major factor on why General McChrystal was so unhappy with Obama and this unhappiness culminated in his dismissal.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our troops, stationed in Afghanistan, do not even have the option to engage in Guerrilla warfare given the population demographics as well as the composition and the topography of the land. If the supply lines are ever cut to this region, the Taliban would even pose a serious threat to the survival of these troops. And for the really bad news, I have been told that we presently only have less than 200,000 ground troops capable of engaging in land combat operations. If we were to lose the troops in Afghanistan, our military’s ability to fight a ground war would be gravely endangered.</span></div><h2 align="center" style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Obama vs. the United States Military</span></h2><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a well-documented fact that Obama has fired over 200+ command level military officers in his tenure. Obama has fired three theater commanders in Afghanistan. This has never happened in American history.</span></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img height="240" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTHb4enGJvCJPoK024FsPm1AP2GbJ3vmx_usWG2rBeh8sJn3HhV1g" width="400" /></div><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is abundantly clear to me that Obama would like to use the military to subjugate the people following an economic collapse, or a collapse of the power grid or a million and one other false flag scenarios which could result in civil war. However, Obama knows that no matter how many top level officers he fires, this military will not be on board with his domestic agenda.  His efforts to bend the military to his bidding have failed. He could fire a thousand command officers and he will not get the military to betray the American people. This is why Obama needs the Russians, the Chinese and any other blue-helmeted group to do the job the military will oppose. This is precisely why our combat forces in Afghanistan will be sacrificed so that they cannot lend military support to the people when the inevitable begins to happen.</span></div><h2 align="center" style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nuclear Support for Our Soon-To-Be Abandoned Troops</span></h2><div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite being the Commander-In-Chief, Obama does not have control over our nuclear arsenal and this is a very well known fact in the military. This is why commanders in our nuclear arsenal are being fired for such things as poker chips. The only way that Obama will ever gain control of our nuclear arsenal is to put a Russian or a Chinese General in charge. And the odds of being able to accomplish this are zero, at least not without a fight. And if that fight were to occur, you can count on the fact that most of the missiles would be launched against the cities of our attackers. For now, the military enjoys checkmate against this administration and their dangerous policies.</span></div> <!-- Begin BidVertiser code --><br /> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=579098%26bid=1449088" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT><br /> <noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_advertiser.dbm">marketing</a></noscript><br /> <!-- End BidVertiser code --> <br /> <div style="border: 0px; line-height: 21.59375px; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obama does not control the nuclear submarine force as well. I have been told that these forces have changed their protocols because they suspected that they have been compromised with regard to tactics which would used against the Russians and the Chinese. Yes, I am talking about treason. Some have suggested to me that these commanders of the submarines have pledged their support for our foreign troops and we are talking about nuclear weapons support. Therefore, those that have loved ones in places like Afghanistan, can take some solace in the fact that the troops are not totally without support.

36 Signs The Media Is Lying To You About How Radiation From Fukushima Is Affecting The West Coast

Dead sea creatures cover 98 percent of ocean floor off California coast as result of Fukushima nuclear fallout

<div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Pacific Ocean appears to be dying, according to a new study recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in California recently discovered that the number of dead sea creatures blanketing the floor of the Pacific is higher than it has ever been in the 24 years that monitoring has taken place, a phenomenon that the data suggests is a direct consequence of nuclear fallout from Fukushima.</span></div><div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though the researchers involved with the work have been reluctant to pin Fukushima as a potential cause — National Geographic, which covered the study recently, did not even mention Fukushima — the timing of the discovery suggests that Fukushima is, perhaps, the cause. According to the data, this sudden explosion in so-called “sea snot,” which is the name given to the masses of dead sea creatures that sink to the ocean floor as food, has skyrocketed since the Fukushima incident occurred.</span></div><div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;"><img src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/4f34530ecb12e336a9dfe29c/t/52abacc8e4b0291b4d2968a5/1386982601327/fukushima.jpg?format=1500w" /></div><!-- BEGIN TAG - DO NOT MODIFY --><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ epom_key = "58a2f5117e08ea757dd860388cddcb60"; epom_channel = ""; epom_code_format = "ads"; epom_ads_host = "//www.adshost2.com"; epom_click = ""; epom_custom_params = {}; epom_width = "300"; epom_height = "250"; epom_sandbox_configuration = "allow-forms, allow-pointer-lock, allow-popups, allow-same-origin, allow-scripts, allow-top-navigation"; document.write("<script type='text\/javascript' src='"+(location.protocol == 'https:' ?

Dead sea creatures cover 98 percent of ocean floor off California coast as result of Fukushima nuclear fallout

The Pacific Ocean appears to be dying, according to a new study recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sci...
