U.S. troops are being trained to conduct round-ups, confiscate guns and shoot American citizens, including their own friends and family members, as part of a long-standing program to prepare for the declaration of martial law, according to a soldier who recently returned from Iraq.

We received an e mail from "Scott", a member of a pipefitters union that runs an apprenticeship program called Helmets To Hard Hats, which according to its website, "Is a national program that connects National Guard, Reserve and transitioning active-duty military members with quality career training and employment opportunities within the construction industry."

Scott writes that his company hired a soldier who had recently returned from Iraq, who told him that U.S. troops were being quizzed on whether or not they would be prepared to shoot their own friends and family members during a national state of emergency in America.

"I have become very close to this young man and have gained his respect and trust," writes Scott. "I want you to know that he informed me about one particular training exercise his superiors made them perform. It was concerning the rounding up of American citizens that disobey any type of martial law or in other words any type of infringement on our freedoms."

"He was asked if he could shoot his friends or family members if ordered to do so. At the time he said he could," writes Scott.

Scott says that the soldier later "had time to clear his head" and realize the truth, recanting his vow to kill his own countrymen if ordered to do so.

The issue of whether U.S. troops would be prepared to round-up, disarm and if necessary shoot Americans who disobeyed orders during a state of martial law is a question that military chiefs have been attempting to answer for at least 15 years.

Its known origins can be traced back to an October 1994 Marine questionnaire out of the Twentynine Palms Marine Base in California. Recruits were asked 46 questions, including whether they would kill U.S. citizens who refused to surrender their firearms.

Documentary film maker Alex Jones brought to light similar training programs that were taking place across the country in the late 90's which revolved around U.S. Marines being trained to arrest American citizens and take them to internment camps.

During one such program in Oakland California, dubbed "Operation Urban Warrior," Marines refused to answer if they would target American citizens for gun confiscation if ordered to do so.

During hurricane Katrina, National Guard units were ordered to confiscate guns belonging to New Orleans residents.

As we first exposed in May 2006, Clergy Response Teams are being trained by the federal government and FEMA to "quell dissent" and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law.

Pastors and other religious representatives are being taught to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to "obey the government" in preparation for the implementation of martial law, property and firearm seizures, mass vaccination programs and forced relocation.

Many scoffed at our original story, which was based on the testimony of a whistleblower who was asked to participate in the program. Claims that the story was a conspiracy theory soon evaporated when a mainstream KSLA news report confirmed the existence of the program.

The experiences of U.S. troops in the worst areas of Iraq, where soldiers are ordered to go door to door and arrest all men of military age as well as confiscate their weapons, is a mere portend of what is being planned for America if these training programs ever come to fruition.

We saw a little of this during Hurricane Katrina. The National Guard went door to door conviscating weapons and allowing people to stay in their own homes. hahaha


All I can say is, if they try this bullshit even some of the dumbass brainwashed people would snap out of it and fire back. At least I hope they would?

depending on their actions, or if it were justified.. yes..

but to be ordered to just shoot someone.. that would be an illegal order, and i would be required to not obey it..

according to the UCMJ

Depressing, man

I just read the story.. is it true?? maybe to a point..

the 2nd amendment is there to protect us from the government, and them being to strong to force a free people.. that's the reason we have the right to protect ourselves from the government..

It probably came about by asking them if their family was committing terrorist/treasonous acts could you shoot them to protect your country... they say yes... Then if we call martial law and they resist they get shot...... its fked up if you ask me....Its a nefarious way of getting the end result...

that's why I don't own any guns.. I don't want "the MAN" coming to my house asking for them.

that's why I don't own any guns.. I don't want "the MAN" coming to my house asking for them.

that's why none of my guns are registered..

and thanks for not having any guns, after all, we will need people that we can take food and water away from when it comes down to it..

do some research on "survivalist" i'm trying to make a point, but there are some serious people out there that can take care of themselves..
