Have you
ever heard of the Northern Command, also known as Norcom? Probably
not.
Have you
heard of moves to integrate the United States, Canada, and Mexico
into one judicial authority? Probably.
Here is the
description of Norcom on Wikipedia.
United
States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) is a Unified Combatant
Command of the U.S. military tasked with providing military
support for civil authorities in the U.S., and protecting the
territory and national interests of the United States within
the contiguous United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico (and the
air, land and sea approaches to these areas).
USNORTHCOM
was created on April 25, 2002 when President George W. Bush
approved a new Unified Command Plan, following the 11 September
2001 attacks. USNORTHCOM went operational on October 1, 2002.
The support
that USNORTHCOM provides to civil authorities is legally limited
by the Posse Comitatus Act, which sets some limits on the role
of the U.S. military in civilian law enforcement. However, in
case of national emergency, natural or man-made, its Air Forces
Northern National Security Emergency Preparedness Directorate
will take charge of the situation or event.
It gets better
(or worse).
NORTHCOMM
operates extensive domestic
intelligence operations which both share and receive information
from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Employees
of the FBI,
CIA, NSA,
DIA, NGA,
and other agencies maintain offices at NORTHCOMM and receive
daily intelligence briefings.
In Exercise
Vigilant Shield 2008, Northern Command, Pacific
Command, the Department
of Homeland Security, and numerous law enforcement agencies
across the U.S. conducted exercises to test their “response
abilities against a variety of potential threats”.
