Steve,
There have been numerous events around Colorado in the current weeks. Recently, here in my area. A good friend was at a shooting range on 7-21-12. He was there only a short time, and called me. He said there were 3 very "buffed" men at one end of the range, and that they were speaking both perfect English and Russian at the same time! (As I understand it, from talking to a gentleman who knows, you would have to start a child at 5 yrs. old to accomplish that.) My friend spent quite a bit of time with them. Asked them what they were doing in the States. Said they were"mechanical engineers" . My friend, former military and and an armorer, said he had never seen pistol shooting like that. 2 and 3 inch groups at 25 yards, rapid fire. He said, "You guys shoot pretty darn good for "mechanical engineers"! The younger of the 3 asked my friend if he would like to shoot his rifle. He said, "Sure"! After picking up the piece, he said he noticed it had a Red Star on the scope! He told the 'ENGINEER", "Hey! This is Russian military!" The Man said," Really?" He also told me the ammo was not sold in the States. It WAS Russian military issue. He said the reticle was as good as he had ever seen. He then said, "You guys sure you aren't Russian military!" At this point they got somewhat upset. He asked where they had been, The told him they been up in Canada, the younger of the 2, that is. They shot a little more, then left. Headed for the range office to check out.
Upon arrival at the range office, told the young lady in the office, "That was kinda weird, shooting with Russian guys with military gear. She said, "Oh, there's lots of them!" My friend being stunned, said "What!' She said, "Oh Yeah, there's alot of them that shoot here!"
Having said that, it appears we have a "Spetnatz Nest" in No. Colo. Very rural and isolated at this range. Not much out there.
Upon making some contact calls, appears I might have a possible place for where they are placed. Will do a little "road trip" soon.
Also, a longtime friend has been doing some "vacation time" in SW Colo.
Spotted Russian troops, In Uniform down in Creed Co. 12 with European style motorbikes. Spotted a local Deputy, walked over to him. Said, "What are these "Foreign troops doin' here?!". The Deputy just rolled his eyes and walked off! My friend walked over to them and said, "Things are a little different here than in Mother Russia" They looked at him and just walked away.
A couple of days later, he was down by Wolf Creek, going to see the falls there. This was along Highway 149 going to Pagosa Springs. There about 3 mins., a Russian helo flew over their heads at treetop level, moving fast.
We have seen 4 different Russian helos here in No. Colo.
Also, during the "Exercise" at Ft. Carson, a friend of 20 yrs. who is a documentary maker called live from the base. Said, "Guess what I'm Looking at" I said, "What?".
He said, "Black C-130's with Red stars on the tails, doin' touch and go's"
Thats all for now, Steve. Will send more.
Keep The Good Work!!
God Bless,
"Mini-V"

Marine Corps Law Enforcement Battalions To “Control Civil Disturbances”
Troops to “assist local authorities” in criminal investigations.

Units of hundreds of military police officers trained to investigate crimes have been created by the marine corps and will “assist local authorities” in securing crime scenes and building cases, reports the Associated Press.
The report notes that “The battalions will be capable of helping control civil disturbances, handling detainees, carrying out forensic work, and using biometrics to identify suspects.”
While the units, each comprising 500 military police officers and dozens of dogs, will “deploy worldwide”, recent forays by the military into domestic policing in the United States may have some Americans wondering if the newly created “law enforcement battalions” will be used at home.
Maj. Jan Durham, commander of the 1st Law Enforcement Battalion at Camp Pendleton told the AP that marines deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq have increasingly acted as police, in addition to their combat duties. Durham noted that the policing role will now be cemented as a permanent feature of the US marine corps.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Law Enforcement Battalions were activated last month and will be based out of Camp Pendleton, Calif.; Camp Lejeune, N.C.; and Camp Hansen in Okinawa, Japan; respectively.
According to the report, the law enforcement battalions will convene at a Southern Command conference in Miami next month and showcase their services to government officials from Central American countries, such as Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Belize.
Former Marine Corps prosecutor Gary Solis noted that “complications” may arise from a gray area between police officer and soldier.
“Cops apply human rights law and Marines apply the law of war,” Solis said. “Now that it’s blended, it makes it tougher for the young men and women who have to make the decision as to when deadly force is not appropriate.” he added.
The following videos show the 1st Law Enforcement Battalion conducting weapons training with .50 caliber machine guns, 240B medium machine guns and MK 19 grenade launchers. The footage was taken during a huge marine exercise earlier this month called Javelin Thrust 2012:
Despite the constitutional protections outlined in the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, there has been and is an ongoing push to blur the divisions between military and domestic law enforcement officials in the United States.
National Guard troops are routinely involved in ‘urban warfare training’ drills. Usually such drills take place within the confines of military bases, however, more recently heavily armed troops are increasingly seen patrolling residential neighborhoods, performing unannounced door to door “wellness checks”, and even taking over the downtown areas of major US cities.
Such “invasions” are often reported on as nothing to worry about and even as “cool”.
Indeed, back in 2008 the Washington Post reported how 20,000 U.S. troops returning from Iraq would be stationed inside America under Northcom for purposes of “domestic security” from September 2011 onwards.
Northcom officials were forced to subsequently issue a denial after the Army Times initially reported that the troops would be used to deal “with civil unrest and crowd control.”
As Alex Jones exposed back in the late 1990’s, U.S. troops have been training to impose martial law for a considerable amount of time. During numerous urban warfare drills that Jones attended and reported on, troops were trained to raid, arrest and imprison U.S. citizens in detention camps as well as taking over public buildings and running checkpoints. During role playing exercises, actors playing prisoners would scream “I’m an American citizen, I have rights” as they were being dragged away by troops.
The fact that such drills are now set to involve Russian soldiers training on U.S. soil to hunt “terrorists” has also caused consternation.
Federal authorities in the United States have clearly been preparing for domestic civil unrest for a number of years. The Department of Homeland Security recently purchased a staggering 450 million rounds of hollow point bullets as well as bullet-proof checkpoint booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights.
In addition, worrying legislation such as the National Defense Authorization Act, has paved the way for the incarceration of American citizens under military laws, and numerous leaked and semi-secret documents position the army as partners to domestic federal agencies in quelling unrest in America and even engaging in missions involving the ”resettlement” of US citizens.
Think tanks and other elite groups routinely raise the spectre of using the army to plan and carry out domestic law enforcement missions in the US.
