U.S. is preparing for its biggest terrorism exercise


news.yahoo.com

The nation is preparing for its biggest terrorism exercise ever next week when three fictional "dirty bombs" go off and cripple transportation arteries in two major U.S. cities and Guam, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press.

Local hospitals and law enforcement agencies will be involved in the "attacks" by the dirty bombs, which are conventional explosives that include some radioactive material that would cause contamination over a limited area but not create actual nuclear explosions.

America is still obsessed with these 'dirty bombs'... i wonder if they gave that idea to terrorists! It seems like the media hypes up so many different types of attacks that 'anything can happen'. I wouldn't expect this to coincide with a false flag because it is being publicized and well nothing has really happened since 2001.

You know, every time they have their exercises, I expect a real event to happen. Both the London bombings and the 9/11 killings was done during exercises and war games to cause confusion.

So this is planned for next week. Anyone know the dates?

FTA:

"The agency said the Oct. 15-19 exercise would be "the largest and most comprehensive" to date."

They will take place in Portland (sweet....no place like home) and Phoenix.

Alright !

I'm very happy to read this today, glad that we're out there practicing for these type of events. Should one ever happen, we'll be prepared.


I only hope that we never have to put this training to use though...

not to sound picky or anything, but I HOPE that you mean they are going to stage the 'biggest ever anti-terrorism' and not 'biggest ever terrorism' exercise.

still, you never know.....

I know that the Bushes hate Portland and that Pheonix isn't important, it's in the desert. So if they would do a false-flag, those two cities wouldn't be a problem to be wiped out.

I hope there won't be any terrorist false flag operation because Iran will be bombed and martial law will be declare.. and you'll have a civil war on your hands.

This kind of news makes me nervous as all get out. I was never more let down than the strikes on 911 but these exercises have a sense of reality creation to them I find very spooky. Didn't someone at some point talk about the October surprise? I realize that recon missions and such have always been done but they did not involve preparation for attacks in American cities. Now it seems they may be expecting something. We need to have cameras out at these exercises and any volunteers reporting in to us here afterwards. Unfortunately my Mom passed away last year on Oct. 5th, she used to work as a phlebotomist with FEMA and was really just one of us. She knew a lot and was a real fighter for justice and the true American way. The last one she did was the Phoenix mock small pox training. All we can hope for is that it does not coicide with a real emergency...

Things that make a person go hmmmm...

I don't like the sound of this at all. And in reading the source link for this topic, I don't like the fact that the reports from the previous exercises have not been released. *They* are supposed to be learning from these exercises on how to be better prepared. Yet if the reports are not released, what has been learned? Am wondering if *they* are simply going blindly along, hoping for the best. eeeeek!

Think I'll hybernate for those few days during the exercises. Be a good time to catch up on putting photos in albums. Or something. Anything.

What I find most disturbing about this...and I am shocked no one has picked up on it yet...is that in this article they are admitting that they are going to release radioactive material in these cities.


According to an internal department briefing of next week's exercise obtained by AP, a dirty bomb will go off at a Cabras power plant in Guam; another dirty bomb will explode on the Steel Bridge in Portland, Ore., impacting major transportation systems, and a third dirty bomb will explode at the intersection of busy routes 101 and 202 near Phoenix.

Local hospitals and law enforcement agencies will be involved in the "attacks" by the dirty bombs, which are conventional explosives that include some radioactive material that would cause contamination over a limited area but not create actual nuclear explosions.


There it is... "contains some radioactive material that would cause contamination over a limited area". Am I just an idiot or does that say they are deliberately contaminating a limited area? One of these areas is an intersection of two busy routes. So what happens to those people who travel or pass by that intersection? Will it all be blocked off? If so, how is that possible? If you look at the bridge in Portland, how are people who have to cross that bridge going to get to their destinations? Is there another bridge? How long after these "simulations" will it be before these areas are no threat to someone's health?

I also notice the article says that the last major simulation was in 2005, but was there not one just a few months ago in Portland? Why is that not mentioned? Why is Portland continuously being used as a training ground? This would be like the 3rd "exercise" in Portland in the last 6 months. Does that strike anyone else as very odd?

If anything this just brings up more questions for me (like you couldn't tell). IMO it is nothing more than training for the next false flag event. What better way to successfully pull off the next false flag operation than by programming the first responders? To me that is all this is. The government learned some valuable lessons from 9-11, mainly how not to get caught.

I can understand FEMA, DoHS, and other agencies wanting to run training excercises in domestic US cities...but why Guam? seems like a very strange choice

This is sick! My mom and brother live in Phoenix and how terrible for my mother specially to have to endure stuff like this.


Whatever. Our fates are in their hands as usual...I have to pre-warn my mother of something on those days just in case so she doesnt die of a heart attack :shk:

I hate this new Lifestyle

October suprise and the 113 prophecies.

Lets see, 13th October, 10/13 = 113.

I have had the feeling that something was going to happen this October.

I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw that there was a terrorist drill going to happen this October.

Hope im wrong but you cant help wondering, if some dirty bombs went off in the USA it would be the perfect excuse to attack Iran.

Wouldn't you think it would be too obvious to pull a false flag at the same time a terrorist drill is going on AGAIN?!?

Also, a drill is the perfect opportunity to practice the best way to pull something off!

Argh... I don't much like the idea of these 'exercises' happening in Portland, to be quite honest.. lol

Why not Florida, or somewhere?

So how does it feel living in a country where your government may blow up some citizens now and again?
