UN and US Collaborate Policing (?) US Cities Against "Violent Extremism"

“The Strong Cities Network will serve as a vital tool to strengthen capacity-building and improve collaboration,” said Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. “As we continue to counter a range of domestic and global terror threats, this innovative platform will enable cities to learn from one another, to develop best practices and to build social cohesion and community resilience here at home and around the world.”

The Strong Cities Network (SCN) – which launches September 29th at the United Nations – will empower municipal bodies to fill this gap while working with civil society and safeguarding the rights of local citizens and communities.

The SCN will strengthen strategic planning and practices to address violent extremism in all its forms by fostering collaboration among cities, municipalities and other sub-national authorities.

“To counter violent extremism we need determined action at all levels of governance,” said Governing Mayor Stian Berger Røsland of Oslo while commenting on their participation in the SCN. “To succeed, we must coordinate our efforts and cooperate across borders. The Strong Cities Network will enable cities across the globe pool our resources, knowledge and best practices together and thus leave us standing stronger in the fight against one of the greatest threats to modern society.”

Hopefully, this "Strong Cities Network" will bog down in the usual paperwork, committee meeting blackhole and they will never get efficient at snappy UN police uniforms posted in the 25 participating cities

    Ditto, me, too. I'm getting too old for this shit. I hope they take their time implementing this crap, until after I'm gone.
    Unfortunately, for me and others of my age, I think it is coming soon. Can't have elections screw up the leftists plans.
    Maybe its just me.

    More likely it would be used for Government Party National Conventions with office space for the left's shadow government. With the taxpayers paying the overhead. I'm sure Trumpet Boy would be willing to lease it.

    Washington had integrity which Ayn Rand defined as http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/int....

    I wonder how many "Washingtons" still exist here in the Gulch and in America? I wonder whether the Central banker/corrupt politician/crony capitalist complex would allow such a man to rise to the presidency? Or would they crush him at the first sign of his integrity?

    You remember he did say he wanted the DOHS to be as powerful or more powerful than the US Military? That's going to be one powerful bunch of protective echelons let's see Leibstandarte Obeyme. Double Barack Strikes on the collars. If anything our esteamed Comrade-In-Chief will be sitting in another AWOL golfing job at 405 E. 42nd Street NYC

    BTW - one more thing, all that it would take to nationalize all of the pds (including Sheriffs), National Guards and Federal Law Enforcement is one brief phone call from the POTUS.....Forget about Posse Commitatis!

    You obviously haven't had too much contact with Sheriffs have you? The one thing that you forgot to mention was that the Sheriff in every state is the Constitutional law enforcement officer. Since you think we "right-wing" conspiracy nuts do not fully understand what is transpiring, I suggest that you start doing some self-education.

    In case you aren't aware, there are 5 UN Treaties awaiting ratification in the US Senate (simple majority vote of those present). In addition go out and poll your Sheriff about his (or hers) stance on upholding the US Constitution (the Bill of Rights specifically) including the 1st, 2nd, 4th 5th, etc. You might be surprised that many aren't even aware that is a major part of their job.

    Don't go blaming folks who have taken the time to learn what every school child by the time they get to 8th grade should know. No! Ignorance is not bliss especially if you wake up and find your cherished rights trampled on and even destroyed...

    The clowns in charge have been doing everything in their power to foment violent conflict such as we are seeing with the racialists working on goading peace loving people into violent acts. So far, it has not worked however they have made every effort with their "Community Organizers".....Pray this does not turn into what the Progressives are trying to provoke!

    Unfortunately, I believe that this is much further along than anyone realizes! There have been a number of foreign military groups training and are deployed here in the good old US awaiting the order to participate in "Peacekeeping" activities. Wasn't there about 15,000 Russian troops ready to be deployed in FEMA zone 3 (or 4) - DC, Maryland, PA, DE and NJ for the official rollout of Obamacare? The NWO is already here me thinks! BTW, with this administration the only "violent" extremists are those of us who do not buy the bill of goods they are selling.....

    Hello khalling,
    Yes, we are on the track to a new world order.. one world government. Governance that tries to satisfy all, in the end satisfies none.
    Glad you are home safe and sound. :)
    Regards,
    O.A.

    I wouldn't in theory have much of a problem with getting rid of borders if it was just expanding the US style of representative / republican democracy. That's not the way it would ever work though, it would be the socialists and oligarchs running the show and looking to the workforce in the US to shut up, give them our guns, and pay their excruciating taxes for worldwide welfare programs because we 'stripped them of their resources' or some other bullshit in a previous century.

    The UN has not been successful at anything... It's like the right-wing conspiracy nuts about government in general... I've been a government contractor for a long time, everything in my observation that can be thought of 'strategy' is really just incompetence.

    Under US jurisprudence, the Sheriff of the county is the highest elected law enforcement official at a municipal level, and actually wields quite a bit of power. The UN idiots can't show up and start policing streets without the OK from the County Sheriff. I severely doubt that would happen. Law enforcement, like military, are pretty much 99.9% Republican, regardless who the pretend to support for union votes from.

    I have a love/hate relationship with Galt's Gulch. I love talking, agreeing and sometimes arguing with Objectivists. And some crypto-Objectivists, and some budding Objectivists. I hate the fact that I am constantly reminded of what has become of my country that Gulchers tell me about almost daily. Khaling is just telling the truth. I almost wish he was lying. Am I being overly dramatic? A male Drama Queen? Being an octogenarian I can remember when the country still had at least the trappings of what it once was. The above post and the responses to it show me that there is hardly anything left of the USA of WW2 and even the resurgence of patriotism from 911 lasted less than a year. I want to do what I can to revise my USA but as many persons have said before me, I'm getting too old for this shit.

    Isn't Interpol already supposed to provide international law enforcement cooperation? This sounds duplicative at best, and destined to make real progress more difficult. Who determines interagency jurisdiction, if Homeland Affairs, the FBI, various DoD investigative bodies, and now municipal law enforcement all think they're empowered to act against possible terrorists?

    IMHO you are correct. Have you ever seen a government created rule or program overturned?

    I do believe Tea Party me would be viewed as a "violent terrorist" by some because I own firearms.
    I even have three throwing knives I can wear altogether in a special belt holster.
    Not to mention a bandoleer with lots of 12-guage shotgun shells showing.
    PC ain't me.

    Agree and I would add we have been losing freedoms long before the bush administration. The Bush administration simply accelerated the loss with the patriot act. :)

    If we haven't already run out. I almost pray for a natural disaster at this point to make everyone stop for a minute and re-think things.

    The u.n. has a track record of failure doing this world wide so that gives them the qualification to come here to do the same. The end of the 0 administration can not come soon enough. freedom for all is correct.
