6. Gee, right before the elections. What fascinating timing.

Thank goodness no such National, multi-Agency "Security Drill"
has ever provided cover for an amazingly successful and
politically CONVENIENT "terrorist attack".

If such a thing had ever happened before, I might be worried.

8. This already happened last year...

From their fact sheet:

VIGILANT SHIELD 2008 is 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.

Exercise VIGILANT SHIELD 2008 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 1­08. These linked exercises will take place 15 - ­20 October 2007 and are being
conducted throughout the United States with several partner nations (Australia, Canada, and
the United Kingdom), as well as the Territory of Guam.

We were pretty concerned about it here in Portland. Many of us tried to saturate the internet with articles and op/eds and posts to raise awareness that, if this drill had gone "live," people should be aware of a few important things.

There were no boxcutters involved or shadowy cave dwellers ruling the world using only a laptop and a satellite phone. No "domestic terrorists" who just happen to despise Bush/Cheney and no Iranian Islamofascists linked to these domestic terrorists who also don't exist. And no official story about them hating us for our freedoms and WMDs and invasions and all the rest that happened because 9/11 created the perfect ideological environment for pure Bushean bullshit to gain rapid acceptance.

I contributed to the noise level with this article.

There's obviously no way to know if a false flag op was thwarted by the world-wide publicity, or if we were just paranoid loons who worry needlessly and there were no government plans to nuke a section of Portland.

Still, better safe than sorry.
