UN Strong Cities Initiative Begins in US - DoJ Announcement

During this week's UN meetings in New York City the Department of Justice announced the launch of the Strong Cities Initiative which places enrolled city police departments into a UN sponsored global police force against "violent extremism".

The program is voluntary, which is how they start.

What are sub national organizations?
unfortunately doesn't raise to the level of treason

 

As I understand it, the following link the takes you to the UN resolution that supports the SCN initiative. United Nations Official Document Reading through several pages of motherhood statements and self congratulatory waffle....it says nothing about establishing a permanent trans national UN police force directly under the control of the UN, and commanded independently of the constituent members of the UN. Police for UN peace keeping operations will continue to be cobbled together on an ad hoc basis, for operations mandated by the UN. Given that the US has a power of veto in the UN Security Council, it seems unlikely that blue beret, blue shirted cops will be billy clubbing US citizens any time soon.

Conservative critics of the Strong Cities proposal by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to cooperate with the UN as part of SCN anti "violent extremism" initiative, have strong allies:

Republicans should feel reassured that the ACLU, and Muslim citizens of the USA are watching out for your six; They don't want the evil UN global police force billy clubbing freedom loving 'merikan citizens any more than you do.

 

Do u realy think they will come and nock on your door and say excuse me BT can we have your gun ??

 

Probably not...at least not immediately anyways....folks isolated in the boondocks would be a low priority...cities and towns first...then villages and hamlets...and finally rogue hold-outs in the sticks.

 

Crab Bait? No self respecting crab would eat them!
Explains the thousands of UN vehicle being reported around the Country!

Could also be tied to the 40,000 troops committed to a quick reactionary force at the UN led By You Know Who 2 weeks ago as well.
Obama draws pledges of 40,000 troops for UN peacekeeping - Yahoo News

 

)

Having read the article, referenced in the Yahoo News link.....It would seem that the figure of 40,000 personnel for UN mandated peace keeping operations...(all 16 of them...none of which are within the sovereign territory of the USA) are Pledges from nations other than the USA. The USA currently has, according to the article,

. To put it in perspective, the world (other than the USA) have pledged just under an army corps of personnel (mainly troops, but also police and civilians), and the USA's worldwide contribution at present (and which is unlikely to change any time soon); is the equivalent of an infantry rifle company (minus one platoon).

Australia presently has 25 ADF personnel and 10 Police Officers serving in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS)

The nearest peace keeping operation that the UN has to continental USA is Haiti, MINUSTAH Facts and Figures - United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti

It should be noted the PRC has pledged some 8,000 of the 40,000 troops promised for service in UN peace keeping operations ready reaction force. (the approximate equivalent to two infantry brigades worth of troops). So, does the USA's commitment of an understrength infantry company (equivalent) indicate that the USA isn't seriously supporting the UN's global peace keeping efforts??? No....not in the least. The USA underwrites some 28% of the UN's global peace keeping budget, which pays for a goodly number of canon fodder pledged by second and third world UN member states. It is the UN version of the US Civil War practice of sending a substitute to campaign, or commuting a draft call-up with money, instead of answering the call to arms oneself.

Never mind, they'll now use the media about how important they are with this new weather mess on the eastern seaboard.

 

States and provinces, cities and regions as I understand it

 

@Katana Lee I 5hought that as well and I looked for definitions as UN is big on definitions. And I could've find any. so new made up term

 

What I found was a general definition of the term

 

There are a lot of posts that pull up numbers of UN troops and say that they would be inadequate to take over this country.

The UN can pull troops from any NATO country as well as from the many contractors in their employ.

Force multipliers such as drones, access and area denial, and robotics will be deployed.

Another miscalculation is thinking that the theater of operations would be restricted to the ground.

The same tactics employed overseas will be used here.

If you do not have air power you will be screwed.

 

@chellovek if you haven't already, take a peek at the DoJ announcement. Resolutions establishing the thing don't necessarily give the details of how it is implemented.

The think tank overseeing the policy and programs for it is European picked by the UN. Do people really want the United Nations - the group that tried to cover up the raping of children by it's "peacekeeping" forces - setting policies for American police departments?

Once in a while the ACLU does get something right, they have been critical of police abuses of power and surveillance. As for Al Jazeera, don't discount that as being a planted article to get people to disregard the dangers of this program.

 

We ain't too worried about them drones.keep 'em coming, more fun than shootin' clays.

 

Hail Hydra!

 

Sentiments in my part of the country is that no blue helmets will be allowed to hold water.
