... the American Military Coup of 2012

Police State Culture The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012 “                   CHARLES J. DUNLAP, JR. Back in 1992 the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff held a "Strategy Essay Competition." The winner was a National War College student paper entitled, "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." Authored by Colonel Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. the paper is a well documented, "darkly imagined excursion into the future." The ostensibly fictional work is written from the perspective of an imprisoned senior military officer about to be executed for opposing the military takeover of America, a coup accomplished through "legal" means. The essay makes the point that the coup was "the outgrowth of trends visible as far back as 1992," including "the massive diversion of military forces to civilian uses," particularly law enforcement. I skimmed the first few pages and usually get bored and move on. After 4 pages and read with a bit more intent and found this worth passing on. http://www.dunlap.pdf With due credit to http://ogdaa.blogspot.com/2012/06/coup-of-2012.html Tom Smith ”
