Terror Drills on Election Day In your State?
Unbelievable stuff here, folks.

This report was written in haste due to the critical nature of getting it out immediately. I call all concerned citizens to help. This is a call to intellectual arms!

I recommend ALL reporters and concerned citizens contact the Office of Domestic Preparedness and BOMBARD THEM WITH QUESTIONS about the scenario, below. Call Marc Short at 202-616-8952. He is the ODP Media Contact for the FEMA drill, as described. This is too critical to let slide; EVERYONE must get involved. Let them know that WE KNOW what is going on. An informed citizenry is an empowered citizenry!


October 29, 2004 --A plan may be afoot to induce a national terror threat on Election Day to lower voter turnout and steal the election for Bush once again, but this time in a different manner.

At least three states have WMD/Terrorism Incident drills scheduled for Tuesday, November 2, 2004 – Election Day. As of May 8, 2001, Dick Cheney was placed in charge of managing all domestic preparedness related to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). It is likely that Cheney will be managing all of the Election Day WMD/Terrorism Incident drills across the country. The presidential statement, which gave Cheney this power, also created the Office of National Preparedness.

FEMA’s website makes the national announcement, but omits any dates, saying only that this is a “training course” that takes place over three 8-hour days. The course is headed by the Office of Domestic Preparedness.

The D.C. Emergency Management Agency has a Public Works WMD/Terrorism Incident training scheduled for November 2, 2004. The location is listed as, “To Be Determined.”

Senator Dayton recently announced he was closing his DC office due to intelligence reports of possible terrorism in DC He stated he would not advise anyone to go to the Capitol between now and the election.

Arizona is running a WMD/Terrorism Incident exercise on Election Day. UPI picked this up on their wire and the Washington Times ran the story immediately after Nico Haupt broke the story at http://inn.globalfreepress.com.

http://www.washtimes.com/upi-breaking/20041012-032905-2028r.htm

http://www.dem.state.az.us/calendar/wc20041102.html

The training is designed around “interactive exercises and group scenarios.”

I contacted Marc Short at the Office of Domestic Preparedness who said, “This course is offered by the ODP (Office of Domestic Preparedness) Training Division through the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). The target audience for this course is state and local first responders.”

Texas is another state running this WMD/Terror Incident training drill, the same name as Arizona’s drill. The date is omitted and location is listed as “other,” though it is almost certain this exercise will be running on Election Day, as well. I questioned Mr. Short via email, asking if a real terror incident occurred on Election Day, would those involved in the training scenario be in a position to respond to it? He did not deny that this drill was running on November 2, 2004.
He stated:

"If an incident occurs, the decision to deploy first responders involved in this training remains with their respective agencies."

Lastly, let’s look at California.

No terror drill is definitively listed to be happening in California. However, the California Emergency Medical Services Authority website does list November through December of 2004 to be the time when training scenarios of “Protecting High Risk Buildings” will be run. Date and location is “TBD,” or To Be Determined.

1. I hope you don't get ganged up on by those who would
say you are trying to instill Terra Terra Terra. This rings a bell, no? I've wondered the same. Thanks for posting this!

3. Ah, I'm not worried
But forewarned is fore-armed ( or four-armed?)

Better to have a head's up, I'd say.

5. I posted it here a few weeks ago, and blogged it

the archives here are not available, but there was one poster who was very insistent that it was nothing, nothing at all, just a class, nothing to see here.

So everyone should call their local FEMA office and find out what plans are in place to deal with "election day" unrest.

8. Some of us are paying attention.

It makes you wonder - what is the agenda of those who are so vehemently opposed to accepting this reality that they've categorized the realists as "doom and gloomers."

Peak Oil? Can't talk about that. Because there is no happy ending or pretty solution, it causes cognitive dissonance within the ranks of party-line thinkers.

9/11 Coverup? Can't talk about that either. When people collude to influence circumstances to their own benefit, it can only be on a small scale, otherwise it's a categorized as a "conspiracy", and thusly immediately dismissed.

People need to read, learn and think before they make reactionary statements about others; otherwise, they're no better than the Limbaughs and Coulters of the world.

2. This information has been available for some time. The decision was made

to downplay it, and little interest has been shown by either "mainstream" media or voting public.

4. Oh, I didn't get the memo, dammit
Thanks for the update. Folks in Texas, California and Arizona should still keep their eyes open. The more we reveal what the 'Pukes are up to, the less chance their plans have to succeed.
