FEMA to conduct massive martial law exercise July 27-July 31

I hope this isn't anything like NORADS exercises where they simulated hijacked planes crashing into "high profile" targets on and before 9/11.

wayseeker you're too trusting of rich bureaucrats that don't have your best interest at heart or maybe you just don't have all the facts.

FEMA was scheduled to a run disaster drill called TRIPOD on the day of 9/11, four years before Katrina, and they have run several TRIPOD drills after Katrina.

Let the government do their job. If they had had some plan in place after Katrina it would have been less of a catastrophe.

CANT SAY WE WEREN'T WARNED!

I suppose they think that all goverments are exactly the same and the same people are running FEMA as were when they gave this warning before.

Then why did gun sales rise so sharply? Are people just "waking up" as they believe that "that chicken have come home to roost?"

It is the same question I have asked everytime this has same article has appeared here. With so many weapons in the hands of citizens especially gangs and organized crime, how are they going to get away with martial law?

Are they willing to accept that many losses and bad press? Even Iran with its greater control over the country wasn't able to stop that.

Remember hurricane Katrina.People on roof tops waiting for FEMA to help them.FEMA botched that like a bunch of idiots.Reminds me of the Keystone Cops.

Well if all goes according to plan the federal resistance funded by the corporations will not have much support as the financial collapse will make paying their centurions their wages a little bit hard and that defense will collapse as well. Don't show your pride for our new golden age until the time is right. All internet usage will be cut off because of once again the capitalistic system will be broke and how do you keep and internet running when you can't pay your employees.

12,000 US Children set to test out Swine flu Vaccine.......................... its on current

Did everyone notice they said "ANOTHER" fraudulent election??

this is seriously fucked..

We should have a "massive exercise" of our own.

yea it looks like hes ready to jump in the water and help somebody.

I'm torn, as I always am with things such as this. I don't want to sit back and say the gov't is completely innocent, and that this is just an emergency preparedness exercise. Vigilance and a healthy distrust of the government are crucial to freedom. On the other hand, I have no proof that this is anything but an emergency preparedness act. The motives, therefore, are to be determined using deduction. From what I've seen in the past the Government is not to be trusted, and I won't trust them with this either.

Oh no the government is going to take over the country and.... .... ..... What do all the people who are worried about the government/industrial powers that have control of our country are going to accomplish by forcefully beating back the already controlled citizens of the country that they already run? Get over it. The people in charge finished school and already know it is easier to control people through tv,movies,commercials,patriotic country/hip hop/ rock songs, and social pressure. Wake up people and go outside and play with your kids. Grill out with your neighbor. life is passing your crazy ass by

I'm pretty sure the last time we had a "massive exercise"
it turned out to be a real thing...

I grew up in the anti-war movement in the 60's and it would be immpossible to do today the actions we did back then for 2 reasons:
1.The Patriot Act and what it allows the government to do to you if you were to attempt the type of action you suggest.
2.They'd use US troops on you using live ammo to subdue you!
Everyone should read the Patriot act and some of the other unconstitutional laws that Bush passed before you consider any type of action!

I find it funny that all the reasons they are using for this are the same reasons we SHOULD be revolting in the streets. It really makes me angry that no one has started throwing molotov cocktails through windows of "financial institutions" on Wall Street.

Hey milesahead! If you believe that you'll believe anything! You are,like most Americans either deluded or brainwashed! Its people like you who allowed Bush to pass the Patriot Act and the other oppressive laws that followed it! Those who would give up freedom for security have neither!

Here we go people the NWO in action! It's only a matter of time until martial law hits us in the face and they start shipping us all to the FEMA concentration camps staffed by our military where anyone who protests will be killed! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Americas slide into a dictatorship is already well underway!

What a tempest in a teapot. This is a very misleading post. Massanova doesn't bother to explain that Madsen was describing a 2008 plan by the Bush administration to remain in power. From the article:

"Last October, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen [2] learned from knowledgeable FEMA sources that the Bush administration had put the final touches on a plan that would see martial law declared in the United States with various scenarios anticipated as triggers. “The triggers include a continuing economic collapse with massive social unrest, bank closures resulting in violence against financial institutions, and another fraudulent presidential election that would result in rioting in major cities and campuses around the country,” explained Madsen."

Forget it, conspiracy nuts, this is just an emergency preparedness drill.

whatever you do, do NOT let yourself be injected with the "swine flue vaccination" that will be required by law very soon, just remember that

It's good their focusing on all the triggers that are propellants of real freedom. Social unrest? Violence against financial institutions? Isn't that what we need?

It's long over due, and the peons at the 'top' are scared.

Well it could be argued that these "drills" keep the public and the government sector is a sustained state of fear and paranoia. These drills could be part of some military psychological warfare operations, in fact I'm almost certain that they are.

In addition to that, 9/11 was carried out under the cover of a series of military drills like this one, so there is plenty reason for concern.

govt just can't win , can it?

conducted exercises to be prepared for a disaster, and you're accused of practicing martial law.

dont do anything, you're accused of being incompetent.

yeah yeah... silly femanites

NO NO NO NO NO

I don't trust FEMA, or their so called upcoming pandemic. This is unsettling.

WOW big shock.. the government is preparing for its last phase of the new world order..

lol well then we can't say that we weren't warned about it. Prepare to have you faces stomped in by SWAT teams and soldiers. If you protest you are a terrorist!
