Not sure what it entails but I can't help thinking that it is not going to do much now, especially if air traffic is allowed to continue unhindered.

First off when we go to a Pandemic (Level 5)this Pandemic Plan goes into effect

www.hhs.gov...

Second, states begin their plans and responses. If you look at New York's it includes Martial Law.

www.health.state.ny.us...

e. Governor May Order the Organized Militia into Service of the State
Authority: Military Law 6(1) provides that the Governor shall have power, in case of disaster, to order the organized militia into the active service of the State for such period, to such extent, and in such manner as he may deem necessary. Pursuant to Military Law 9, whenever the organized militia is employed under Military Law 6, the Governor may by proclamation declare the county or city in which the troops are serving to be under martial rule, if in the Governor’s judgment the maintenance of law and order will thereby be promoted. Martial rule is subject to the Federal and State Constitutions and is governed by the Code of Military Justice. See Military Law Article VII.

For those in North Texas

In memory of the "Gaza Rooster" ...

This thread reminds me very well from time of horrible Gaza Op, and those threads where many members from here came so close friends at the end of those weeks - "Band of Brothers " --- In front of our eyes from Ramattan TV stream --- Who remembers "The Rooster?" How much hope one rooster made for us in middle of that sorrow - just because he was alive... That lonely rooster, near the TV center and ATS together - those made us one... Yep - those were long days and weeks for many of us.

This is not Gaza Op, happening far away from our homes or offices - but now we all are in battlefield, under attack by "those invisible drones". Maybe we are in biowar, cant say in this moment, but this time battle is very different... We are all in sight.

Threads which are mixxed with motions, and plenty of breaking news - we all get our weak moments, lots of confusing information, and sometimes after long time being straight, we need to push out our feelings too - its natural - And I think that in this highly sophisticated forum, thanks to all friends and members - we can do that freely, without a consern that our feelings or motions, believes are straight and wrongly condemned by others.

"In this crazy world, without borders in ATS - We can be - and at time to time, we are one."

Just thoughts ... Back to news sections!

#BULLETIN -- SKY NEWS RETRACTS ALERT SAYING U.S.-MEXICO BORDER PARTLY CLOSED; REUTERS SAYS CLOSING THE BORDER IS AN OPTION.
less than 20 seconds ago from BNO Headquarters

Looks like a big scamola, same crock as Air Force One making a panic scene.

Only 7 swine flu deaths, not 152, says WHO

"Unfortunately that [150-plus deaths] is incorrect information and it does happen, but that's not information that's come from the World Health Organisation," Ms Allan told ABC Radio today.

"That figure is not a figure that's come from the World Health Organisation and, I repeat, the death toll is seven and they are all from Mexico."

I do remember the "rooster" and was on that thread from the start.
Until it descended into racist and xenophobic BS...despite my best efforts to keep it civil.

Anyway...yeah.... on with THIS thread.

I'm surprised. Usually they are very good at "just happening" to run the national preparedness exercises DURING the emergency....

Im watching the youtube vids, and it looks really really scary.. I mean i dont know what really is going on, is there more behind the scenes? I think so.. And why all the contradiction in the media? Why does it kill so fast in mexico, what reports out of mexico are true? Are they covering up?

what MSM outlet is neutral and without fault though?

They are all contradicting one another and all contradicting themselves... Rather annoying.

why would they shoot those numbers out, then downplay?
