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. During Hurricane Katrina, authorities violated the constitutional rights of citizens by stealing people’s firearms and even relocating people against their will. These announcements are incredibly disturbing on a number of levels as the nature of Vigilant Shield 08 and the admission that Hurricane Katrina was used as a test laboratory shows that the government is actively preparing the military and government institutions for martial law. Below is the full press release from USNORTHCOM describing Vigilant Shield 08. Also check out the Vigilant Shield 08 fact sheet by clicking here. North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command along with U.S. Pacific Command, the Department of Homeland Security as well as local, state and other federal responders will exercise their response abilities against a variety of potential threats during Exercise Vigilant Shield ‘08, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-designated, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)-sponsored, and U.S. Joint Forces Command-supported Department of Defense exercise for homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions. VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4), the nation’s premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, and several other linked exercises as part of the National Level Exercise 1-08. These linked exercises will take place Ocober 15-20 and are being conducted throughout the United States and in conjunction with several partner nations including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as the Territory of Guam. VS-08 and National Level Exercise 1-08 will provide local, state, tribal, interagency, Department of Defense, and non-governmental organizations and agencies involved in homeland security and homeland defense the opportunity to participate in a full range of exercise scenarios that will better prepare participants to prevent and respond to national crises. The participating organizations will conduct a multi-layered, civilian-led response to a national crisis. USNORTHCOM’s primary exercise venues for VS-08 include locations in Oregon, Arizona and a cooperative venue with USPACOM in the Territory of Guam. NORAD’s aerospace detection and defense events will take place across all the exercise venues, to exercise the ability to mobilize resources for aerospace defense, aerospace control, maritime warning, and coordination of air operations in a disaster area. This exercise is clearly a way to prepare government to respond to a national crisis with martial law. This announcement also follows a number of other news stories that indicate the government is becoming more actively prepared for the implementation of martial law. These stories include the following: George W. Bush issuing a presidential directive declaring that he is a dictator during the case of a national emergency be it a natural disaster, a terror attack or any number of crises. KSLA reporting that members of clergy will be used to convince people to submit to government in the case of declare martial law. See the video below. (kiki's note: there was a youtube video here - when I clicked on it, it said "this video is no longer available") The U.S. Department of Treasury conducting a disaster drill to prepare for a potential economic crisis. In addition to the announcement of Vigilant Shield 08, USNORTHCOM also announced that they have been using the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina to better respond to crises. The response to Hurricane Katrina was essentially used as a test laboratory to implement martial law in a city. People were forced to relocate against their will and authorities stole people’s firearms in the name of safety despite these actions being entirely unconstitutional. From USNORTHCOM: “Hurricane Katrina’s impact on this country was unprecedented. There are still many of our fellow Americans whose lives still haven’t returned to normal,” said Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and USNORTHCOM. “It will take many years for the Gulf Coast to fully recover. “The United States military was deeply involved in the response to the hurricane and subsequent flooding,” Renuart said. “While our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines helped thousands of people, we also learned many lessons.” According to Renuart, USNORTHCOM has been using the lessons learned from Katrina to modify plans to respond to both natural disasters and potential terrorist actions. Northern Command also admits in the same article that they have pre-scripted mission assignments coordinated with FEMA to implement martial law under the pretext of disaster response. From USNORTHCOM: USNORTHCOM is ready to help federal, state and local officials to be prepared for a major hurricane and to be successful at conducting response operations, if necessary and requested by the primary responding agency. Some of the ways these objectives are being achieved are: Through State Engagement programs, USNORTHCOM provides planning support to help states prepare for emergencies. USNORTHCOM and its subordinates, as well as local, state and federal partners conduct major disaster exercises to refine processes and apply lessons learned. Working with FEMA, USNORTHCOM has prepared pre-scripted mission assignments to accelerate the disaster response process. USNORTHCOM conducted a major exercise with the National Guard in May to refine the interface between the National Guard and DoD. There is no question that Vigilant Shield 08 is either government preparation for the implementation of martial law or a way for criminal elements within the government to distract emergency responders in order to conduct a false flag terror attack as a pretext to actually implement martial law and engage in foreign war. On September 11th, 2001 there were drills run by NORAD including Vigilant Guardian which served as a way to ensure that there was no adequate military response to the hi-jacked planes. A similar scenario unfolding with Vigilant Shield is not out of the question.

"I might have to go do something less stressfull, like core pavement on a busy freeway, at night..."
KSLA reporting that members of clergy will be used to convince people to submit to government in the case of declare martial law. The Baptists may begin to wake up, but it will be too late.

Sounds like a good time to buy more ammo.
Wasn't "Vigilant Shield" the name of one of the exercises they were running on 9/11?
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
I don't remember the name of the exercises, but there were also such exercises during the London tube bombings.

Quantity lots of mil ammo have been unavailable for months.
Well, let it happen I say. Rather than make people wait around and start backbiting each other over who knows when the world's going to end, let's just get this dictatorial government thing going already. I think once the lies are gone, and the illusions are dispelled, things in this country will improve dramatically.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
I guess we've just been told when there's going to be a new "massive terror attack on the Homeland." Maybe also the approximate date for a full scale attack on Iran. And finally, maybe the date for the scheduled end of even formal compliance with the Constitution by our rotten political class.
"Those who give and those who receive arbitrary power are alike criminal, and there is no man but is bound to resist it to the best of his power, wherever it shall show its face to the world. Nothing but absolute impotence can justify men in not resisting it to the best of their power." ---Edmund Burke
It works so well in their spreadsheets and vacation planners.

Yep - when it takes a quarter of million, or more, rounds, to kill one "insurgent," you know that we are being screwed, blued, and tattooed. Don't'cha think?
Forgot to include this link - it's bad. The mil is burning a lot more in training as well - even the second and third tier ammo that the mil usually refuses which is what is sold to civilians.
Luckily, we were able to lay in a few thousand rounds before smirk totally lost his mind. Finding stuff today is beyond belief.
I'm inclined to agree. the stupid hints and veiled threats just cause more devisiveness. screw us all over so we can revolt together.
This must be the one I read about several years ago....called the OMEGA Plan or something like that....5 days to bring the country under dictatorial control. I think it might have been a Geoge Bush I idea.
Almost. The name was "Vigilant Warrior"
