NORTHCOM Plans 5 Day Martial Law Exercise


www.liveleak.com
The United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has just announced plans for an anti-terrorism exercise called Vigilant Shield 08. The exercise which is slated to run from October 15th to October 20th is described as a way to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of national crises. The exercise is simply a test case scenario for the implementation of martial law. Although the description of the exercise is disturbing, USNORTHCOM also announced that they are more prepared for a natural disaster and a terrorist attack after they used their response to Hurricane Katrina as a test laboratory.

Not to mention we are rounding the corner to cold and flu season. Face mask anyone?

I wonder if the information on Liveleak is part of the TOPOFF program? Info can be found here: October False Flag?

To sum up, there's a major exercise taking place Oct. 15-24th, 2007 in Oregon, Arizona and Guam. The exercise involves response to fake dirty bombs going off. Similar to, but significantly larger than the disaster drills that are run occasionally in US cities. If you don't know what a standard disaster drill is, I'll explain. A school or business volunteers to participate in the drill. FX teams give the volunteers cosmetic "injuries". And then the call goes out.
The purpose of those drills is to test the system; from first responders all the way through hospitals and clinics.

When you combine a dirty bomb exercise with a martial law exercise and throw in the current saber rattling going on... it looks pretty fishy.

My bad, I didn't specify...I meant in the official press release, not the op/ed article. Anybody can say it's a test for martial law, but unless I missed something (which I wouldn't doubt since I'm tired) the actual press release didn't say that.

I would assume, like any smart organization running such a test, the words martial law wouldnt be put into its official press release. As it says in the article...The exercise which is slated to run from October 15th to October 20th is described as a way to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of national crises - thats a much nicer way of putting it.

So then the martial law thing is really just speculation, right? This is one of those articles that people need to really watch for. It's meant to get one riled up without really stating a fact. Kind of like those articles that say "could happen", "may be true", "might be", etc.

Media sources like to use these words because it stirs up emotions and pretty soon people accept it as fact.

So again, let's not get all excited before we know if this really means it's a martial law exercise or not.

As you may recall, we saw stuff like this in 2006 and we talked about it on ATS. That link is actually for a thread I started on U.S. troop maneuvers in American cities as they happened in '06.

I wonder how easy it would be to convert martial law exercises into a reality.

Since these exercises are already planned and mapped out ... how easily could they be employed in a "necessity" ... say for example on September 14th ... just to pick a date.
