United
States Navy SEALs planned war games in the state of Washington for
mid-January, where they would encroach upon residential areas, state
parks, national parks, etc, without the consent of the public. The
war games treat citizens as pawns because SEALs were trained to react
to citizens as potential terrorists.
One of the
most alarming aspects of the war games, which were reported on by
Truthout journalist Dahr Jamail, is how it normalizes the idea that
U.S. citizens can be enemies. The war games suggest a future where
many more military exercises run roughshod over public spaces and
soldiers simulate how citizens could pose a danger to them.
Now, the
weekly podcast, “Unauthorized Disclosure,” returns for a third
season. Our guest this week is Jamail, who talks about documents he
obtained from a source within the Navy. He describes how the Navy
circumvented the process so the public would not be able to object to
plans. It excluded clandestine trainings from regulations requiring
environmental impact statements. “Peace parks” in Washington
would be violated by the military. Jamail also talks about some of
his other extensive reporting on climate disruption, including the
melting of the Arctic.

It's
not accidental that the arms industries demonstrate new weapons
designed to be used inside urban areas for suppression of
potential riots. There will be no "outside enemy" in the
future. The threat for the dominant system will come from the
interior, the big urban centers. Soldier-robots will protect
worker-robots and resources.
