Plan C: The Cold War Plan Which Would Have Brought the US Under Martial Law
v3rgEz writes with this story of a top secret Cold War plan which would have brought the U.S. under martial law. Starting on April 19, 1956, the federal government practiced and planned for a near-doomsday scenario known as Plan C. When activated, Plan C would have brought the United States under martial law, rounded up over ten thousand individuals connected to 'subversive' organizations, implemented a censorship board, and prepared the country for life after nuclear attack. There was no Plan A or B....Details of this program were distributed to each FBI field office. Over the following months and years, Plan C would be adjusted as drills and meetings found holes in the defensive strategy: Communications were more closely held, authority was apparently more dispersed, and certain segments of the government, such as the U.S. Attorneys, had trouble actually delineating who was responsible for what. Bureau employees were encouraged to prepare their families for the worst, but had to keep secret the more in-depth plans for what the government would do if war did break out. Families were given a phone number and city for where the relocated agency locations would be, but not the exact location.
I think you missed the part where the Brits did the burning, and the pussy Canadians pissed their pants while the Brits did the deed.
1/3 to friendly fire? You're joking, right?
I've served, and we'd own Canada within two weeks. Want to be an insurgent? Fine, as soon as we dox you, we kill your extended family... full stop. It works for the Russians, and it works for the Israelis, no matter what you might believe.
Canadians are, and always have been weak. Hell, their vaunted Delta Force wannabe JTF-2 almost had to disband when all of their members worth a damned left to move to the US to work for private military contractors. Devils Brigade? Only worth a fuck because the US was involved; the Cancucks were notoriously cowardly in their performance. Shit, you guys can't even built a decent jet fighter; after all you still pine for the Avro Arrow which was over-inflated vaporware before we even knew what vaporware was. The only reasonable design work done on that aircraft wasn't by Canadians, it was by UK expats who moved to Canada.
The short version: take our thick, black eleven inch US cock up your tight little asshole and thank whatever you call GOD that you live next to the most powerful nation on the planet, and by virtue of that fact you have very little to worry about security wise. You will capitulate when NAFTA benefits the US, and you will send us all of the lumber oil, and water we need, or you will be put in your place.
