As of Wednesday, August 24th, 2016, in a recent NBC report, Germany has debated whether or not to deploy their military onto the streets, in order to combat the threats of “terror" — in what they call counterterrorism operations. Such a move would enforce the deployment of military troops in Germany... The first time since World War II. <br /> <br />Wolfgang Bosbach, lawmaker from Merkel’s CDU party, dismissed such claims that this would be “totalitarian,” but did say that German armed forces and military polices “were put on alert… They have been deployed in other crises, so why should the military not help with domestic security as well?” <br /> <br />Mind you, this isn’t the only alert Germany has recently received. As of Sunday, August 21st, 2016, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAZ), which is a German-based newspaper, discussed a 69-page strategy entitled “Concept for Civil Defence” — which calls for German citizens to stockpile enough food and water for ten days, in case of an alleged “terrorist attack.” Such measures could also mean the further deployment of troops in not only Germany, but also the rest of Europe. <br /> <br />But should this really surprise us? Considering how France has been under a national state of emergency for well over 9 months now — a state of emergency issued for a grand total of 14 months… Supposedly ending in January 2017. Under this state of emergency alone, tens of thousands of military troops have been deployed in the country alone, in order to combat “terrorism.” As we can see, the militarization has only spread throughout Europe.
