HA, don't we all just love a conspiracy theory? PROOF man, give us proof, and we'll have the press all over it like a swarm of flies over a roadkill!

It dose have a sense as Hypothetically I would have far less trouble shooting Canadian troops and contractors than I would our boys .

Frankly, this could be totally true and not be sinister. Consider this, private contractors doing training on streamlining command and overhead? breaching and cover fire even?

If you had a company that had well seasoned guys with lots of experience wouldn't you try to market this talent locally too? I would sell it to local LEO for "emergencies" and for SWAT applications.

And it wouldn't be because some shadowy government entity was controling puppet strings.
It would be because I had a marketable asset, and would be looking for ANY way to sell it to as many different custamers as possible.

I would even try to market the command structure to local dog catchers if they would pay.

And what about the Canadian troops ?

Your post is fodder.

No, I don't write fiction on purpose. As you probably know, Blackwater changed its name to "Xe" (after the owner's son - Xavier) The later became embroiled in a bit of intrigue involving how and what weapons were being stored and inventoried at their training site outside of Moyock, N.C. The company was sold and now operates under a name that I was told, but don't remember.

I asked the guy what he did in Afghanistan. He was a team medic, and told me he worked with a group who provided security for visiting dignitaries and sometimes the US ambassador.

I posted what I was told because I think it is interesting and could add yet another dimension to any future difficulties. This isn't the first time I have heard this, but it was the first time it was told to me FTF by someone I knew.

Now, that said, I do not appreciate you basically calling me a liar. I doubt you would say that to my face! You must be the armchair type who only feels brave sitting in your closet banging on a keyboard. If you are in the habit of making disrespectful comments on a regular basis, someone is going to screw you into the ground!

The civil unrest training takes place at the training facility outside of Moyock, N.C. I was told that Canadian military personnel are rotated in, but I was not told how many usually show up together. Makes sense, however. They look like us, talk like us, and could blend right in. I doubt they would be allowed to wear a foreign uniform.

Moyock, N.C. (for those of you who may not know) is just south of the large military presence in Hampton Roads, Va. and is convenient for any interaction between these different groups. This site also provides advanced weapons training for the Coast Guard, according to my friend.

This group, or some like it, did provide site security after Katrina. I am not aware of any interactions with citizens per se.

When considering all that has been made known so far - our government running illegal guns into Mexico. the WH leaking security secrets thinking it would make the Pres look badass, etc. - the idea of private security contractors being blended into domestic law enforcement as the result of some event is not that difficult to accept. They bring KSAs that civilian LE and even most military do not have.

Kinda the same answer. So what if they took training?

"talk among this group" means soooo little to me as a source. I defy anyone who has ever served or been a part of any LEO or agency department to tell me that every rumor they heard was solid or to take it farther let someone tell me that while serving even 1/10th of the rumors they heard were truthful.

I am fairly paranoid, but because of that I make myself not jump at shadows. So when some guy tells you that he heard from his sister's friends hairdresser..... I step back and wait for someone who is actually in the loop to break the news. (No offense to the op. I am not discounting your story, just offering a grain of salt to those who wish imbibe to take it with.)

I'm really sorry about posting on this subject. I thought it was interesting, but I stated in the first post that they guy may have been entertaining himself and BS'ing me. He is a former Marine, and he and I worked together for a while. I had no reason to suspect what he was saying.

Look, this is just another blip among a lot of other blips that show up time to time that MAY indicate some preparations being made by people in a position to know a bit more than we do that something is going on.

The fact that there is a focus on civil unrest training recently by people who sometimes kick other people's doors in is in itself a yellow flag if not a red one. They believe unrest is going to happen. Its no more outrageous, stupid, or crazy than those who have BOBs ready and spend hours per week on sites like this posting on "SHTF" scenarios ad nauseam.

Thats it. I'm out'a here!

Dont get your panties twisted. Like I said, he could have absolutely hear what he said, and it could still not be sinister. the reason I dont jump at shadows, is... Dig into the site's older threads. Or go on any of the other similar forums (I used to but I like the group here much better.) You will find that as long as there has been an internet folks have been posting the conspiracy threads.
It doesnt mean that this isnt true, and it doesnt even mean that it wont spell disaster, but it does mean that my best energy is in prepping, and working on the things that I can control, not chasing shadows of things I can't.
Relax. You can't really expect to post on an internet thread and have everyone who ever reads it happily agree to everything you say. I am going to say this, and it will probably make you even madder, but really I sincerely mean it. Grow a little. It's ok if people disagree, and even ok if they debate their different opinions.
Heck, maybe during one of these arguements someone will come in to defend you (or not) and offer information that you dont have.
If you want a one way discussion start a blog. This is a forum.
