Wolf:  Oh, the wish list.  Of course.  Yes. Yes. Yes. I’ll ask my wonderful webmaster to send you the wish list.  I don’t think we

have it separate, but I will definitely ask him to send it.

 

Kall:  OK.  Now the other thing I want to make sure we cover here is you describe the ten things that indicate that –what is it that it indicates again? How do you describe it? 

 

Wolf: A closing society.

 

Kall:  A closing society.  And you said that we’ve seen it happen. And you said that a coup happened on the first of October. And I want to hear about those two things, and what your observations are since the first of October.

 

Wolf:  Sure. Well, I stand by what I said, that the whole thing about a coup is, it’s a sudden change in the form of government according to the dictionary definition, so what happened on the first of October was the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division was deployed to somewhere in the United States of America. Now what this means is 3,000 to 4,000 battle-hardened warriors who had been doing crowd control in Fallujah... they’re very, very tough soldiers, according to members of the military. So, they’re somewhere.  Army Times. Now what you have to understand about this is, this is a departure from two hundred years of our having been protected by the Insurrection

Act of 1807 and Posse Comitatus of 1879, protected from military

policing civilian streets. That’s what the National Guard is for. And the reason the Founders wanted to protect us from military on our streets is that they understood that you can’t have a free society if the leader has military on the streets.  You just can’t.  And if you look at closed societies all over the world, the leader has the military doing civilian policing, that report to him.

 

Now who does the First Brigade report to?  Not to Congress, not to you and me, not to governors.  They report up the chain of command to George Bush.  And so they are his private army, they have to do what he says they have to.  If he says, “Arrest civilians,” they have to do it. If he says, “Fire at these civilians,” they have to do it. If he says, “Arrest this Congressperson,” they have to do it.  And as I’ve noted in a video that went viral, the administration is claiming the whole world is a battleground. That’s their justification for Guantanamo.  Well, if the whole world is a battleground for the War on Terror, how is the United States not part of the battlefield?  So it’s a very dangerous precedent. Now because they—nobody knows where they are—and what’s extraordinary to me is that not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this.  It’s not been on the news or the wires.  I’ve been lobbying colleagues at the New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, I lobby everyone. I lobby Michael Kirk of Frontline: “Do some reporting on where the First Brigade is.” Everyone agrees it’s a huge story, but no one is covering it.

 

Kall: How about Congress? How about Kucinich and Robert Wexler – are any of them asking what’s going on with that?
