To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
Could the TEA party cause a little know plan (Operation Garden Plot) to be enacted?
With the TEA party growing in numbers and protesting The Obamas style of government could civil unrest happen within our life time?Under Annex A, section B of Operation Garden Plot defines tax protesters, militia groups, religious cults, and general anti-government dissenters as Disruptive Elements. This calls for the deadly force to be used against any extremist or dissident perpetrating any and all forms of civil disorder.

This plan could be implemented under any of the following situation:
(1) Spontaneous civil disturbances which involve large numbers of persons and/or which continue for a considerable period of time, may exceed the capacity of local civil law enforcement agencies to suppress. Although this type of activity can arise without warning as a result of sudden, unanticipated popular unrest (past riots), it may also result from more prolonged dissidence.
This would most likely be an outgrowth of serious social, political or economic issues which divide segments of the American population. Such factionalism could manifest itself through repeated demonstrations, protest marches and other forms of legitimate opposition but which would have the potential for erupting into spontaneous violence with little or no warning.
(2) Planned acts of violence or civil disobedience which, through arising from the same causes as (1) above, are seized upon by a dedicated group of dissidents who plan and incite purposeful acts designed to disrupt social order.
This may occur either because leaders of protest organizations intentionally induce their followers to perpetrate violent acts, or because a group of militants infiltrates an otherwise peaceful protest and seeks to divert it from its peaceful course.

National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (The Kerner Report), 1967
For the people who will dismiss this as a tin foil hat conspiracy.Chapter 12--Control of Disorder
Preserving civil peace is the first responsibility of govern ment. Unless the rule of law prevails, our society will lack not only order but also the environment essential to social and economic progress.
The maintenance of civil order cannot be left to the police alone. The police need guidance, as well as support, from mayors and other public officials. It is the responsibility of public officials to determine proper police policies, support adequate police standards for personnel and performance, and participate in planning for the control of disorders.
To maintain control of incidents which could lead to disorders, the Commission recommends that local officials:
* Assign seasoned, well-trained policemen and supervisory officers to patrol ghetto areas, and to respond to disturbances.
* Develop plans which will quickly muster maximum police man power and highly qualified senior commanders at the outbreak of disorders.
* Provide special training in the prevention of disorders, and pre pare police for riot control and for operation in units, with adequate command and control and field communication for proper discipline and effectiveness
* Develop guidelines governing the use of control equipment and provide alternatives to the use of lethal weapons. Federal sup port for research in this area is needed.
* Establish an intelligence system to provide police and other public officials with reliable information that may help to pre vent the outbreak of a disorder and to institute effective control measures in the event a riot erupts.
* Develop continuing contacts with ghetto residents to make use of the forces for order which exist within the community.
* Establish machinery for neutralizing rumors, and enabling Negro leaders and residents to obtain the facts. Create special rumor details to collect, evaluate, and dispel rumors that may lead to a civil disorder.
The Commission believes there is a grave danger that some communities may resort to the indiscriminate and excessive use of force. The harmful effects of overreaction are incalcul able. The Commission condemns moves to equip police depart ments with mass destruction weapons, such as automatic rifles, machine guns and tanks. Weapons which are designed to de stroy, not to control, have no place in densely populated urban communities.
The Commission recognizes the sound principle of local authority and responsibility in law enforcement, but recom mends that the federal government share, in the financing of programs for improvement of police forces, both in their normal law enforcement activities as well as in their response to civil disorders.
To assist government authorities in planning their response to civil disorder, this report contains a Supplement on Control of Disorder. It deals with specific problems encountered during riot-control operations, and includes:
* Assessment of the present capabilities of police, National Guard and Army forces to control major riots, and recommendations for improvement;
* Recommended means by which the control operations of those forces may be coordinated with the response of other agencies, such as fire departments, and with the community at large;
* Recommendations for review and revision of federal, state and local laws needed to provide the framework for control efforts and for the call-up and interrelated action of public safety forces.
Why do a study and not come up with a plan to control the population? I know the study is about races but as most liberals on this site point out the TEA party is a racist organization so this will go along their ideas.
So again do you think civil unrest on a national scale could happen in our life time?
