It’s hard to know what’s scarier: the idea of responding to a terrorist attack in Portland or the idea that the government is using a drill as a pretext to seize power, declare martial law and, possibly, attack Iran. –”Different shades of unthinkable” — Editorial, The Oregonian, Oct. 2, 2007

News – TOPOFF 4 (short for “top officials”) is an exercise that simulates (we hope) the detonation of a “dirty bomb” near Portland’s Steel Bridge. Vigilant Shield 08 simulates (we hope) imposition of martial law to control the civilian population in the aftermath of the radiological event.

On September 11th 2001, several military drills were taking place that removed vital air defenses from the area and caused confusion as the exercises went “live”. In London on July 7th, 2005, Visor Corporation was conducting drills of the exact events that transpired that day, in the same locations at the same time. On October 15th, NORTHCOM is engaging in another drill. This time simulating a “dirty” bomb and the implementation of Martial Law in Portland, Oregon. Only our awareness of the plan can stop them, just like it stopped them in Charleston in August 2005.

It is vital that we all become aware of the fact that, six years ago, numerous civil and military exercises set the stage for the “live” events that occurred on September 11, 2001. That is, some of the drills before and during 9/11 simulated the actual events that took place on that day, including a plane-into-building exercise and a live-fly hijacking. This “coincidence” (assuming one is a coincidence theorist) caused an intentional paralysis or defacto stand down of our forces. Unless you believe in astronomical improbabilities, it is impossible that the “live” events simulated by these drills were a mere coincidence and not connected in any way to the drills’ planning and execution. (It is important to note that a simulation of the exact bombings that occurred in London on July 7, 2005 was underway just before the live “terrorist” events took place.)

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got a cinnamon streusel coffee cake with pecans. (Well, she temporized, it’s healthier than a box of Krispy Kreme donuts…)

I note that Hillary has picked up an endorsement from Charles Krauthammer. All I have to say is that if Cabbagemallet is for her that’s just one more reason to be VERY, VERY, VERY cautious…

I’m loving TRex’s picture of Juan Carlos. It belongs on I Can Has Cheezburger, where I go for a daily giggle.

I agree. Maher let him take over. Maybe he figured his end is near anyway. Hide the scuba gear.

Four times, Tucker yelled, “We need Blackwater in Iraq because the U.S. military won’t protect newsmen and diplomats.” And nobody said, “Whose fault is that?”

The U.S. military will protect whomever they are ordered to protect. Given Blackwater pay, they’d do it with an intense smile. WTF???

nd Poland and several of these other diplomatic missions have their own troops in Iraq. Why aren’t THEY protecting their own missions? Why do we have to cover the costs through US dollars to protect FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS.

Oh right, one of the Neo-Con talking points is how many embassies have returned to Iraq…and if those missions withdrew…because of the DANGER…that would imply that things are actually sh*t security-wise in Baghdad. So USAID offers them FREE SECURITY with these mercenary guys who “shoot first, and don’t have to ask questions later”.

Even the Marines would have to answer for such acts. That’s why Blackwater was called in…they are lawless.

And the Marines are telling us that they no longer want to be involved in a “No-Win War”. That’s why they want to be deployed to Afghanistan, and leave the “lost war” in Iraq for it to be blamed on the Army.

Am I here? Or am I at late-late night? What year is this?

ET, well you should be at Late Late NIte. Have you had problems? I have not, alas.
