under the auspices of Homeland Security, the Northern Command was mobilizing army troops to deal with the disaster relief efforts.<br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.oilempire.us/northcom.html">www.oilempire.us/northcom.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>Northern Command (NORTHCOM): The Pentagon's Homeland Defense Agency is commanded by the general who was in charge of defending New York and Washington airspace on 9/11<br><br><br>General Ralph Eberhart, who was in charge of NORAD (air defense) on 9/11, was made the first commander of the new "Northern Command," the domestic unified military command established in October 2002. If the domestic use of the U.S. military escalates into full-scale martial law, the Northern Command would essentially manage it. If 9/11 had been an "intelligence failure," it is likely that General Eberhart would have been court-martialed instead of promoted.<br><br>The creation of NORTHCOM announced in April 2002, constitutes a blatant violation of both Canadian and Mexican territorial sovereignty. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced unilaterally that US Northern Command would have jurisdiction over the entire North American region. Canada and Mexico were presented with a fait accompli. US Northern Command's jurisdiction as outlined by the US DoD includes, in addition to the continental US, all of Canada, Mexico, as well as portions of the Caribbean, contiguous waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans up to 500 miles off the Mexican, US and Canadian coastlines as well as the Canadian Arctic.<br><br><br><br><br>The full article referred to has much more to say about Northcom and the militarization of civil institutions from the perspecitive of a Canadian seeing it as part of the neocons' plans to appropriate Canadian airspace and in a sense its sovereignty.

If he was part of that conspiracy, then what would he stop at? And THIS is the person in charge of disaster relief instead of OUR National Guard??!!?? HIS tender mercies could not be wished on your worst enemy, and all these helpless, suffering people have only him. No wonder there was so little preparation or aid given. I don't think release from martial law will be fast or complete. And another deadly precedent has now been set. OUR National Guard has been militarized and taken away from their home, where they would interact with the people. Instead we have the man in charge of the 9/11 NORAD call-off.<br>Think about the implications of this: Nat'l Guard in Iraq, NorthCom HERE.<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4519574">www.democraticunderground...04x4519574</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>This is going to be much, much worse than we think... <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4520993&mesg_id=4520993">www.democraticunderground...id=4520993</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
