BERLIN (AP) — Germany's governing coalition partners want to change the constitution to allow for military deployment within the country if needed to combat terrorism, officials said Monday.
The proposal would allow use of the military only if police are overwhelmed and cannot properly respond to a situation themselves.
"It is not to be used generally, but only in very specific cases," Interior Ministry spokeswoman Daniela-Alexandra Pietsch said.
The center-left Social Democratic Party — which makes up half of Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition — had been opposed to the proposal but agreed late Sunday after working out an agreement that includes strict guidelines for domestic deployment.
"We're talking only about emergency help," Social Democrat parliamentary leader Peter Struck said. For example, the navy could be called to help in a situation where police maritime patrols were not sufficient, he said.
The proposal will now go to Merkel's Cabinet and then to parliament for approval.
Given Germany's militaristic past, many are hesitant to expand the role of soldiers domestically. Currently, the German military can be deployed within the country only in times of war, or to help with emergencies or natural disasters.
Following the announcement of the new proposal, opposition Left Party lawmaker Petra Pau accused the government of seeking to violate a constitutionally dictated division "between army, police and secret services."
"The military has no role domestically for historic, political, legal and professional reasons," Pau said.
Germany used Tornado fighter jets to secure airspace during last year's Group of Eight summit, while troops helped provide support to police controlling demonstrations.
Merkel's government at the time defended the deployment as necessary to secure the area and provide technical and logistical support for police. But the opposition Greens party criticized it as "a creeping breach of the constitution."
Making sense now...crash the world economy....ALL COUNTRIES. Then, use military on most countries and the NWO is almost complete. you're not the only one who thinks I don't know what I'm doing.

It would be kinda interesting to keep track of how many "western" nations start these "domestic military deployments." We've got it here with the newly instigated deployment of a brigade out of Ft. Bragg (1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division). "I want you to go to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore.'"

Seems the whole world (world governments at least) is intent on enforcing something.
What is it exactly they are going to enforce?
Is there really a high % of security forces that will intend on hurting their own people? It is stated that one mans garbage is another mans treasure. I submit to you that the same can be said for information or knowledge. What is truth and religion to one man is a conpsiracy to another; and to another, that information could be utter nonsense.

Great, just great I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

The minorities need to be eliminated in Germany. That is a reality as far as the German people are concerned. The rapid increase in crime is directly related to the influx of minorities into the country. They will be either terminated or allowed to flee the country without any bank deposits.
"Officially" they will be called to help against terrorists, but they have allready been used to monitor protestors with fighter jets during the G8 summit in Heiligendamm 2007. Back then it was comdemned as unconstitutional...next time this (and much else) will be pretty legal. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I know this was discussed here at some length at the time. Ahead of the game, or merely coincidence?

Woah, nice find.
Coalition agrees on domestic deployment of Bundeswehr
Germany’s government coalition partners the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats (SPD) have agreed on a plan to allow domestic deployment of the German military in an emergency.
“There will be a change to constitutional law,” CDU Secretary General Volker Kauder said on Sunday.
Whenever it is necessary to change your consittution to make it "legal" to use force against your citizens, you should pause to take notice, for you are both witnessing and participating in the demise of your nation and its people.
