Military to Conduct Bio-Terror Exercise

Friday August 15, 2003 8:49 PM

By ROBERT BURNS

AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Northern Command, which is responsible for military operations inside the United States, said Friday it will begin an exercise next week to test its ability to respond to multiple domestic emergencies simultaneously, including a bio-terror attack in Nevada.

The exercise, dubbed Determined Promise '03 (?!? LOL!), includes a simulated hurricane, real and simulated wildfires, an airborne terrorist threat in Alaska and an outbreak of pneumonic plague in Nevada...

Was this blackout step one of the test?

3. does not surprise me in the least
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 04:06 PM by QuietStorm

heads up for wayward contamination. I find this interesting as wildfires every year have increased to mammoth proportions... as someone just made clear to me corporate interest has full reign now. we get to know only what they want us to know, which is what leaves us all to have to speculate. anyone's guess is as good as anyone elses.

It seems those that tend to go out on the limb with speculation irregardless of how many articles they have managed to string together to buttress their speculations, they are swiped aside by those most pragmatic that believe themselves to be most realistic, and wiped aside with arguments sometime those most irrelevant arguments. Those in refute of speculations seem to argue that things will miraculously right themselves. Relevant questions are never answered and getting them answered does not seem to be the focus.

There is little unity or solidarity on that front. Those most in the majority seem to be those that believe a democrat in the white house will fix all current ills. Most speculation remains speculation however much they seem not to want to die. No answers have yet been forthcoming and unfortunately I do not believe we will ever get real answers regarding the black out either.

It will just be added to the conspiracy list as things continue to spiral out of control. Bush will probably take the WH next election one way or another. And then that will fall into the conspiracy mill as well. Welcome to the homeland!

Seattle and Chicago...

A "Wildcard" told me to go "north".

Seattle, Chicago and Las Vegas are surprisingly Democratic.

There was a thread this morning about chatter....

5. Big week coming up?
Let's see, there's the 19th: deadline for wise investors to have dropped the dollar, warned in Europe some months ago, as I recall. Rumoured abandonment of greenbacks by Saudis http://www.rense.com/general40/skolnimmf.htm Military-industry exercises, hopefully not the embarassingly timed stand-downs that sometimes accompany. Afghan-Iraq occupation suffering an increasingly organised mujahideen. PNAC's Ahmed Chalabi turning out a key strategist in Gulf War II, Carlyle's Moon a key strategist in Korean War II. ...And financial centers' lights coming back on 'round Tuesday or so.

All moderated by thriving economic recovery and Republican-inspired postwar euphoria, as well as Ah-nold getting on board to silence Enron critisism forever. With his not-so-embarassing Nazi links, his promises of access to property-tax and offshore-oil treasure, past full of images as invincible robopath and terminally obedient freak.

Success.
