That condition now exists in the country that still calls itself — without any apparent irony — the United States of America.

Much alarm has been raised over the admittedly alarming news that beginning October 1, the U.S. Army’s Northern Command will deploy a specialized, combat-tested unit as an “on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.”

This “dwell-time” domestic deployment of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will permit its soldiers to “use some of the [skills] they acquired in the war zone” to deal with “civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.”

In the context of our descent into rank imperial corruption, this small but significant development could be seen by some as the moment our rulers crossed the Rubicon. But that metaphorical boundary has been in our rear-view mirror for quite some time.
