Germany has became the latest country to remove protections for civilian populations from Military intervention in domestic conflicts. In a new court ruling, which repealed laws created out of the Nazi era in Germany, the government can now use the military against citizens in extreme cases, joining the U.S. and other nation states who have removed the dividing line between civilian and military policing.
In America, Northcom was created shortly after 9/11 to be an military command dedicated to threats within the homeland, and instituted a discontinuation of Posse Comitatus, which had separated civilian police from military use on citizens since the end of the Civil War. Since its inception in 2002, the Federal government has expanded its influence over Americans by creating the Department of Homeland Security, and the militarization of many bureaucratic agencies, with the majority of increases taking effect since the banking crisis in 2008.
In 2010, the Federal Reserve secretly ordered five major U.S. banks to develop plans in case of an economic and banking collapse. This order coincides with several well respected economists declaring that a major economic collapse is inevitable, and could come within months.
Over the past six months, our government has been stockpiling nearly a billion rounds of ammunition for agencies that do not have a military. This growing supply of bullets questions the purpose and plan for militarizing domestic economic agencies outside their scope and mission.
Our government, along with our allies, Britain, and Germany, have increased their military and surveillance presence on their own civilian populations, even as potential and actual terror plots have decreased. The growth in domestic militarization increased due to the 2008 banking crisis and not due an increase in terror events.
The potential for economic collapse, civil unrest, revolution, and societal collapse are increasing exponentially across the West, and in other global economies. Since the credit crisis of 2008, several nations have removed longstanding civilian protections from military policing of domestic events, with Germany now being the newest country to overrule decades long legislation that assured protections for their citizens in domestic disputes.
