I know most of us were somewhat aware of this, but I hadn’t heard about it in a while. My cousin couldn’t tell me everything, but after I began talking to him he was surprised that I knew about the situation with the NG still being deployed. He said it’s unprecedented. Normally they would be deployed for 3 days or maybe a week at a time but it’s going on 3 years straight! He was in DC for a few months and since has been elsewhere. I think this may be something way bigger than we realize. Here’s a few interesting links. The very liberal esquire article from 2017 (before Covid was even a thought) made my ears perk explaining how Trump could circumvent the Posse Commitatis Act and convince states to federalize NG units. Did Trump use Covid to his benefit in order to convince some state Governors to federalize their own NG units?? May be worth some digging. If I’m wrong or off base on this please let me know as I do not know all the background info on how the NG operates. Thanks frens.

My mechanic was deployed. I asked him a bunch of questions and he was dodgy about them.
I asked him if Biden was president and he said, "I can't answer that."
That means NO...
He sure is causing a lot of damage for not being president
The ENTIRE system is going to be replaced with what the Founding Fathers and the Constitution stand for. I CAN"T WAIT!
I don't even live in the USA and I can't wait either. My country (Canada) hopefully will follow on not too long after. Meanwhile, I'll be so happy for my Yankee brethren and ... sistren?
I entirely agree with you. However, almost everything can be reversed in a day.
Energy: fix it with a pen and reopen the pipelines. Border: Finish the wall. Crime/drugs: Implement the death penalty, as Trump has stated already, for certain crimes. May not be overnight, but if it's swift justice... it'll be fixed. Manufacturing/materials/supply issues/etc: war time powers or whatever, as Trump did with C19 and ventilators and such. Economy implosion: some of that will immediately turn around with energy. Once people feel safe again I think a lot of that'll turn quickly. Economy part 2: all of the evil people's laundered money, use it to pay our tax debt and abolish all taxes. All other revenue will come from countries hostile to ours (Russia/China/etc) in form of retribution + if tariffs.
Good points on all.
"A lot" is a relative term. Still less damage than a shooting civil war.
Some don't understand... It HAD to be this way...
The military is the only way. We were warned.
That kinda says it all, doesn’t it! Had you asked that question of him in any other decade, with any other President, I can guarantee you would not have been given that answer! Just WOW!
I asked him this over 2 years ago.
I asked a guy I know in AF intelligence how many governments we have right now. His answer was the same.
I'm sure he was amused that some regular civvy like you was asking such an insider question.
Hmm
Thanks for sharing this fascinating info, Fren.🙏🏻
I have a NG building just around the corner. Been a ghost town for quite some time. All equipment & vehicles gone.
Same, have a very large NG facility near a trail that I run/bike on, usually filled with all sorts of vehicles they haven’t been parked there in years. Every once in a while more vehicles will be there briefly but gone the next day. This is on the outskirts or Los Angeles.
Any ideas on where they are?
I haven't seen any uptick of military units in my neck of the woods
My daughter lives in VA & works at FNC, she was visiting us last week and was telling us what a ghost town DC is. She never has to pay for parking anymore because nobody else is parking where she does. She told us you have to order food by 6pm at restaurants before they closed and you'd get no dinner. I found that very interesting.
True. I know someone who lives near DC and works in DC. Restaurants shut down early. He said they are probably expecting trouble from illegals.
Because lazy government workers don't want to stop working from home. Where I work as a contractor the Government employees just have to come into the office for 1 day a week. Everyone telecommutes now.
Louisville restaurants close at like 8 now and traffic is definitely still there. Too many people, I can’t imagine living in NYC…
Have they actually been deporting illegal immigrants? Another reason there's a worker shortage? From people I know who work for DHS and have helped at the border recently, that's definitely not happening at the border anyways. But they're feds. Would be interesting if state militia or national guards are doing it themselves.
I think this makes a lot of sense. I had suspected the numbers were inflated white-hats to spark outrage, but this could be another explanation for how the apparent illegal immigrant situation would not end up permanently harming the country if patriots were indeed in control.
Very interesting!!!
I do think there was a round up of sorts during the first months of the lockdown. Remember Ellen DeGenerate crying about all the people dying? I don't think she was crying about "covid19" victims. I think many trials have already happened and sentences carried out. Just my thoughts and theories.
I would like to see some of this happen before I die! So let’s get moving.
The NG can be deployed overseas. If memory serves, they have 18 month deployments and work with all other mil. branches
Fits perfectly with Derek Johnson on law and order.
My husband had a guy working for him in the NG who resigned around that time and told him he was taking on a full time position with the military effective immediately. He never heard from him again.
Can they please hurry? My gosh, our country and the world have gone down the stinking toilet!
Our local NG was recently deployed to South Africa…so they said on the local news… wtf.
My brother retired as a Colonel in the Army NG. He spent many years in the Guard after serving in the Army. When he lived in California, he was called up for protecting an area during the LA riots.
He moved a lot but sought out ACTIVE NG units. There are many of them across the country. He finally ended up in charge of a full Army Brigade. At the time half of this mechanized division was already in Iraq He ended up in Iraq for a year serving under Paetraus shortly after getting his commission at this guard unit.
There are active guard units all across the USA that serve not only in this country but elsewhere.
I doubt it. Besides where is your proof Petraeus did any of that? It wouldn’t surprise me. But This is the first I have heard of it.
Regardless, Just bc someone serves under a higher ranking officer doesn’t mean they are privy to everything that is being said a done by that higher ranking officer. The military is pretty compartmentalized.
My son was in the NG until they told him to turn in his gear and don't come back because he wouldn't take the jab. They also wanted him to be deployed out of country this summer but because he said no to the jab he wasn't deployable. He said he still hasn't heard anything from them and it's been a few months since being kicked out, no papers saying he's no longer in. He did get a call about a month ago asking him if he was interested in getting the new booster jab, he said "no", lol. So I'm thinking he is technically still in the guard because they called him about getting the jab, just not allowed to be apart of them.
I asked him about if the NG has been deployed/active (Federally) since Jan. 2021 and he said yes, but not all were, only certain MOS's.
But allowed to be apart from them.
CAMP RIPLEY Minn. – Maryland National Guard Soldiers of Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion – 126th Aviation Regiment trained on Camp Ripley in August in preparation for an upcoming deployment.
“During our advanced echelon meeting on the morning of August 15th, Camp Ripley’s Command Sgt. Maj. Marcus Erickson mentioned an infantry unit that would be interested in joint training with our unit,” said 1st Sgt. Jonathan B. DeLong, who was coordinating between the unit and Camp Ripley’s Operations Cell.
B Company, 3-126th ECAB out of Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland contacted 1st Sgt. Aaron Rousselange of C Company, 1st Combined Arms Battalion -194th Armor, to plan an infantry troop movement mission with the unit’s CH-47 Chinook helicopter Aug. 19.
As the middle of August rolled by, both units began coordinating for rehearsals.
“Our plan is to be air-inserted on a narrow hilltop where they will lower the ramp for us to exit the aircraft. From there, we will secure the area and then march west towards our objective,” said Rousselange.
The aviation maneuver is known as a “pinnacle landing,” when the Chinook balances on its back wheels and the crew drop a ramp for loading or unloading.
Late the afternoon of Aug. 19, two CH-47s with the 3-126 conducted two flights each to transport the Soldiers of 1-194 to the Landing Zone. The pilots did not fully land. Ensuring safety measures were in place, the helicopter touched its ramp to the edge of the hill’s level surface and held in place.
Under the guidance of the aviation crew chief, the troops exited the aircraft and established a hasty perimeter around the narrow landing zone. The force of the rotor wash made it necessary to hug the ground as the aircraft lifted off to make room for the next inbound troops. As the ground force moved down the hill, one by one the CH-47s landed Soldiers safely and on time.
“It’s important to practice and train on the job we will be required to do,” said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jon Noble, CH-47 instructor pilot with 3-126. “Terrain and odd conditions are something we have to be prepared to overcome.”
"Our plan is to be air-inserted on a narrow hilltop where they will lower the ramp for us to exit the aircraft. From there, we will secure the area and then march west towards our objective,” said Rousselange."
Must be kinda hilly in D.C... Capitol Hill & all
All I know about the guard is my brother got kicked out a few months ago for refusing the heart dart. Honorable discharge though.
You cant legally activate guard and reserve troops that long. Im not saying he hasn't been yanked up several times, or likely he volunteered for most of it (troops can make a LOT of money that way with some of the special pays - I did it once. Made crazy good $$ being over 90 miles from the house). Thats possible … but there are rules against prolonged mobilizations. 365 days INVOLUNTARY is max allowed. 1059days is max for VOLUNTARY (law says after that you have to move to active federal roles - its a strength management thing). Can u tell I used to work with guys in the mobilization branch?
You can of your at war.
We have been at war since 2002. No fren. You cant. Doesn't work that way.
I think it falls into the 20% visible, 80% behind the scenes. In 2002 it wasn’t visible, military wise vs the DS. Wasn’t main bulk of military. Now we can see. So even in the 20% range we actually see military movement. So even though we’ve been “at war” since forever. The “war” now is spilling out into the open. Hence why NG is deployed full time. It’s gotten to this point now. Exciting times.
He may have had some time off but he’s been actively deployed since 2020…I’m not making it up. I’ll look into it though since you didn’t provide any sources.

Im trying to find the DoD Memo about extending limits. They put it in a memorandum and called it ‘law’. Notice the bullshit last paragraph they added. Basically: SECDEF can modify as needed = blank check
Thanks for the clarification. That is very interesting and good info. The very first paragraph kinda says all we need to know if I’m reading this right.
(a) In time of war or of national emergency declared by Congress, or when otherwise authorized by law, an authority designated by the Secretary concerned may, without the consent of the persons affected, order any unit, and any member not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit, of a reserve component under the jurisdiction of that Secretary to active duty for the duration of the war or emergency and for six months thereafter.
Yep. There it is right there. “Emergency”
No need. Also … I 100% believe you. Apologies if u thought otherwise.
