"Sovereign Deed" (Doom Militia) Coming to Michigan
[link to en.wikipedia.org]


Sovereign Deed is reported to be the first fully privatized national disaster response center. It is moving 15 miles away from where I live in Northern Michigan.



The more I research this....the more it scares me:

"...little-known start-up with links to the mercenary firm Triple Canopy. Like HelpJet, Sovereign Deed works on a "country-club type membership fee," according to the company's vice president, retired Brig. Gen. Richard Mills. In exchange for a one-time fee of $50,000 followed by annual dues of $15,000, members receive "comprehensive catastrophe response services" should their city be hit by a manmade disaster that can "cause severe threats to public health and/or well-being" (read: a terrorist attack), a disease outbreak or a natural disaster. Basic membership includes access to medicine, water and food, while those who pay for "premium tiered services" will be eligible for VIP rescue missions."


"Like so many private disaster companies, Sovereign Deed is selling escape from climate change and the failed state--by touting the security clearance and connections its executives amassed while working for that same state. So Mills, speaking recently in Pellston, explained, "The reality of FEMA is that it has no infrastructure, and a lot of our National Guard is elsewhere." Sovereign Deed, on the other hand, claims to have "direct access and special arrangements with several national and international information centers. These proprietary arrangements allow our Emergency Operations Center to...give our Members that critical head start in times of crisis."


Does anyone have ANY info about these people?????????

An American version of Blackwater??????

wtf

Re: "Sovereign Deed" (Doom Militia) Coming to Michigan
This nation was founded on the core belief that individuals are sovereign. In America, we enjoy freedoms like no other country. We choose our careers, our neighborhoods and our public leaders. We are a nation of self-reliant individuals except when confronted with the matter of personal preparedness.

Many people think the government should be the avenue of first, last and only resort. The government does all it can -- our military and our emergency medical services are second to none. However, recent catastrophic events demonstrate that government resources are quickly overwhelmed and cannot meet everyone’s simultaneous needs in the face of a disaster.

With more than eight years of planning, research and development, Sovereign Deed created the private catastrophic response industry. Our highly-trained and decorated professionals – from emergency response and Special Operations – are the experts in this field.

This unique offering is not for everyone, but rather for those individuals and corporations that understand that the true value is in protecting the ones most important to them.

Sovereign Deed espouses the belief that we, as individuals and organizations, are responsible for our own preparedness. Inaction makes us dependent. By providing the requisite knowledge, tools, and resources, Sovereign Deed Members become self-reliant with the confidence and wherewithal to confront the next emergency.

Thanks for the link. They really don't get into too much detail on their site.


More about the new owner's previous security firm (Triple Canopy)

"...employees were involved in 36 shooting incidents in Iraq between January 2005 and April 2007, according to a congressional report released in October."

It also seems they have not answered direct questions as to if the base will be used for paramilitary training.

None of our business I guess.
