The National Guard is advertising for Internment/Resettlement Specialists". What's ahead for our nation?
::::::::
On August 11, 2009 a job listing for the National Guard was posted on Monster.com. The position title is Internment/Resettlement Specialist where the individual" "will ensure the smooth running of military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility, similar to those duties conducted by civilian Corrections Officers. This will require you to know proper procedures and military law; and have the ability to think quickly in high-stress situations. Specific duties may include assisting with supervision and management operations; providi8ng facility security; providing custody, control, supervision and escort; and counseling individual prisoners in rehabilitative programs."

I find this trend toward violence and disinformation extremely troubling, and to close out part 1 of this two part essay, I'm reprinting a comment that was made at RAW Story which addressed the threats of violence that we hear from right-wing purveyors of hate:
Thomas Brown
To any right-wing hate militia members out there:
You have a right to dissent. You do not have a right to unlawful force.
If you plan or engage in violent actions, you are not real Americans.
That would make you terrorists. However, we are not afraid of you.
If you attack the lawfully elected government or citizens of our beloved country, we will crush you. But we will do so by the book.
You can express your anger in words; if you resort to bullets, it will mean the end of you, not us.
Progressives are not helpless wimps. Many of us are capable of self-defense by deadly force. We will never be vigilantes, but neither will we be victims.
Fair warning.
To Mr. Brown, you have my compliments! I believe that your comment echoes the beliefs of President Obama's base and those of us who believe that free speech and peaceful demonstration is a right of every American, however, when it becomes commonplace for people to joke about assassinating our President and disrupting the political process through violence and intimidation - right-wing America should heed that comment and understand that even though we believe in free speech and peaceful protests - we will not be intimidated or allow violent acts against our government, and this is a cause that we will protect and uphold with our lives. Fair warning indeed!

NOTE: Part two will deal with what I believe is happening in the United States and throughout the global community, and it's a hypothesis I extrapolated by combing through mountains of data and the conclusions which I have arrived at do not bode well for the United States or humanity in general.
