would fire upon U.S. citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the U.S.<br />

Government.”<br />

After the news of this survey surfaced (in The Spotlight, and the November issue of<br />

American Legion Magazine), it was later reported that it was part of a soldier’s Master Thesis at<br />

the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and did not “reflect any government<br />

program.” However, the February, 1994 issue of Modern Gun magazine reported that a similar<br />

survey had been given to some Navy SEALS.<br />

The Thesis, called Peacekeeping and UN Operational Control: A Study of Their Effect on<br />

Unit Cohesion, had been classified, until March, 1995, when it was approved for public<br />

dissemination. In response to the question about swearing allegiance to the UN, 208 Marines said<br />

they could not do so (117 of those strongly disapproved), and 71 said they could (with 19 of<br />

those strongly approving). And, in regard to the infamous question 46, of the 264 Marines who<br />

responded, 185 said they would be opposed to firing at Americans (with 127 strongly opposing),<br />

and 79 said they would be willing to shoot if ordered (with 23 strongly affirming). So, the<br />

bottom line is, if ordered, one out of every four Marines would shoot American citizens.<br />

What this survey revealed was that, for the most part, our military probably could not be<br />

relied on to act as a cohesive force to fire upon the citizens of this country. However, with<br />

increased indoctrination, that could change, but I don’t think there is time for that. Therefore, the<br />

deck had to be stacked.<br />

On November 11, 1990, President George Bush signed an Executive Order that authorized<br />

the presence of UN Battle Groups in the U.S., and there are 15 reported to be here. Before<br />

leaving office, in a major speech to the United Nations, Bush said that the United States would<br />

permit UN troops to use various military bases for “training purposes,” and “multi-national field<br />

exercises.”<br />

The military staff of the UN Secretary-General had called for a “Rapid Response Peace<br />

Force” of 60,000 soldiers, for instant deployment; a “Permanent Peace-Keeping Force” of<br />

275,000 soldiers, for conflict control; and a “Standing Reserve Peace Force” of 500,000 soldiers<br />

for UN duty wherever necessary. On March 16, 1993, Senate Joint Resolution No. 65 called for<br />

the “establishment of a commission to study the creation of a standing international military<br />

force under the United Nations Charter.” In 1993, Clinton issued Presidential Review Directive<br />

(PRD) #13, supporting Boutros-Ghali’s (UN Secretary-General) proposal for a UN military<br />

force, substantially made up of Americans. However, Gen. Colin Powell, Commander of the<br />

Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted on a codicil that said, if any U.S. commander believed his orders<br />

violated the U.S. Constitution, or placed our country or military forces at risk, the orders could<br />

be disregarded. On May 3, 1994, Clinton signed the Presidential Review Directive #25, which<br />

put U.S. military commanders under the authority of the UN during UN military operations, and<br />

instructed the Department of Defense to establish a U.S. military organizational structure which<br />

included the United Nations. It was PRD #13 without the Powell codicil.<br />

On June 24, 1994, the National Guard Bureau, an agency of the Department of Defense<br />

(which coordinates all the state National Guard units), developed the “National Guard State<br />

Partnerships with the Russian Federation” which enabled troops from 14 of the newly formed<br />

Russian Federation (as well as other countries in east and central Europe), to train in this country<br />

with the National Guard units of some states. According to Clinton’s “Bridge to America”<br />

proposal, the purpose of these partnerships was to “assist the participating nations’ transition to<br />

democratic military institutions with peacetime utility in providing military support of civilian<br />

authorities...” Troops who were attached to the Russian Interior Ministry were seen training with
