OpEdNews » Marines bringing combat training to Indy

U.S. Marine helicopters will land at the old Eastgate Consumer Mall, Brookside Park and other Indianapolis locations when the city becomes a mock battlefield next week.

About 2,300 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., will conduct urban warfare training from Wednesday through June 19 in and around Indianapolis.

VIDEO: Waging War On Indianapolis

This is NOT a joke. 2,300 Marines will invade Indianapolis on June 4. They are going to city PARKS with helicopters, dropping Marines out of them! This includes other Indiana cities, too!

They are "bringing the sights and sounds of war to Indianapolis." Again this is NOT a joke.

Here's the TV News Video clip:

WAR GAMES TODAY, REAL WAR TOMORROW?

Is it lost on the American people that the Marines, who were originally meant to fight pirates and storm pill boxes on island beachheads against other soldiers, are being trained to wage war on civilians in their front and backyards? Today it is the hapless citizens of Iraq, tomorrow it may be the streets of Caracas, or even Indiannopolis. This is not to protect America, but to reinforce or spread elitist control over humanity. The Matrix deepens.
