Securing The Northwest
a surveillance by Douglas Stambler
1/29/03
quadrants: For surveillance purposes, the Northwest can be looked at as =
7 quadrants. 1) a 300-mile radius from central Washington; 2) a 300-mile =
radius from central Oregon; 3) a 300-mile radius from North Central =
Idaho; 4) a 300-mile radius from central Montana; 5) the Idaho-Utah =
border; 6) the southwestern border of Oregon, adjacent to California; 7) =
the Canadian border with the United States from the Pacific Ocean to the =
Montana eastern border with North Dakota.
obvious security risks: The Northwest has several obvious security risks =
as of the beginning of 2003. They are the following:
=B7 easy access to bus service into the Northwest via Salt Lake City
=B7 the dismantling of Montana militia groups by the ATF from 1987-2002
=B7 relatively anonymous access to high-powered technology in the =
Seattle area
=B7 high unemployment in Oregon, especially on the eastern side of the =
state
=B7 high percentage of foreign graduate students in Washington and =
Oregon
a new approach: Currently, security efforts in the Northwest are =
centered mostly in Seattle, with some of Montana's territory considered =
part of the Midwest by the FBI and the National Guard. A new approach =
should include the following reorganization of security efforts:
=B7 the use of Spokane as a rapid deployment military command post, with =
routine patrols of the Canadian border - emphasis must be placed on =
alertness and accuracy in responding to any unexpected emergencies along =
the border
=B7 Army recruitment stepped up in Montana
=B7 more of a routine presence of the military and the INS in Salt Lake =
City
=B7 coordination between the California Highway Patrol in northwestern =
California, and the FBI in Seattle - emphasis on buses and out-of-state =
license plates
=B7 advertisements for the Army done locally on cable access bulletin =
boards - emphasis on reintegration of the Army into small towns and =
especially, high schools
=B7 preventive instructions sent to Chambers of Commerce throughout the =
Northwest that explains basic survival skills and riot protection for =
local businesses
how to use the 7 quadrants: Take a pencil, and draw the quadrants on a =
map of the Northwest. Then, mark all the Army recruitment offices =
within those quadrants. Next, since Army recruiters tend to have time =
to themselves in the mornings and early afternoons, suggest that each =
recruiting office file an online report on a new website solely for =
basic surveillance purposes, 2 times a week that might include the =
following information:
=B7 any noticeable rise in local crime and/or drug busts
=B7 local solutions to problems like youth crime and meth labs
=B7 perception of the military by the local public
=B7 an upsurge in the local presence of Mexican immigrants
=B7 Once a website is set up with the 7 quadrants, and bulletin boards =
are set up for each quadrant, the local police departments in these =
quadrants should be made aware of the bulletin boards, so that insights =
into surveillance can be shared accordingly. Finally, a small staff of =
young Army recruits, 4 or 5 people, should be dispatched to the 7 =
quadrants for 2-week periods at a time, to learn more about homeland =
security in those areas.
budget: 1) website - free, 2) re-conceptualizing homeland security =
issues in the Northwest - free, 3) use of local Cable Access stations =
for Army informational postings - free, 4) routine patrols on the border =
of U.S./Canada, Oregon/California, and Idaho/Utah - estimated $10,000 =
month in added expenses
final note: At the end of the 20th century, the threat of terror in the =
United States forced American law enforcement and the U.S. military, to =
rethink their approach to monitoring, identifying, and eliminating =
security risks in the homeland. What my advice includes that has not =
been considered before is the total reintegration and acceptance of the =
U.S. Army into American public life, everywhere. What America lacks at =
the moment with regards to homeland security, is the courage to =
mainstream the military back into American society. Without becoming =
intrusive to the American public, the U.S. Army can make small steps in =
this direction, by allying itself with the American public, and =
providing rudimentary surveillance information to communities without =
much added expense or an adjustment in the way the Army is organized and =
conducts protocol. God Bless America.
