On Monday, June 19, about 4,000 government workers representing more than 50 federal agencies from the State Department to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will say goodbye to their families and set off for dozens of classified emergency facilities stretching from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs to the foothills of the Alleghenies. They will take to the bunkers in an "evacuation" that my sources describe as the largest "continuity of government" exercise ever conducted, a drill intended to prepare the U.S. government for an event even more catastrophic than the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Any bets on what will happen?

This is one of the few times I'll find myself saying I hope the government DOESN'T know more than the rest of us.
Do you think there's a chance they might see a possible real attack coming and want to be prepared?

What do the largest U.S. Naval exercise in the Pacific since the Vietnam War and the largest continuity of government drill ever held by the United States Government have in common?

Well, if we suffer a massive attck next week and they don't tell me I'l be extremely pissed. If the missiles are coming I want to have time to hit the liquor store before I get nuked.

There is a mid term election going on and it would help the current bozo administration to spook the American Public by having stories like this leak in hopes that it will scare Americans enough to get into another bogus war, this time against Iran.

Already the Pentagon violated laws by using tax payers money to create a Iraq War prep book to be used by politicians.

The Republican Party and Bush Jr lied this country into a war against Iraq and will be using the prep book talking points to con the American Public into thinking that keeping the Party that lied to us in office is good for us.

One way to measure the American Public's stupidity is to measure the amount of viewers of Fox station. The lower theamount of viewers the more intelligent the American Public becomes,when the amount of viewers of Fox increase the more stupid American Public becomes.

Yeah! This is probably a "drill" just like the federal beasts said the unusual aircraft activity on 9/11/2001 was just a "drill." The scumbags are probably acting on the basis of knowledge in advance of an event for which they are partly responsible just like FDR knew about Pearl Harbor but did not care to inform the Navy about the upcoming attack.

Maybe, but if I recall FDR used Pearl Harbor to justify going into WW2. Bush and his fan club don't seem to need anything other than the THREAT of attack to go to war. Different times, different people.

And today we hear N. Korea is fueling up a missile to test. This rocket apparently can hit Alaska and already has the Japanese upset.

Awful lot of shit going on in the world in one single day. It's probably nothing but it sure LOOKS suspicious.

Have they been doing emergence drills in new york, just like they where before 9/11. If they are "there" must be something coming, if i lived in new york i would vist a relative for a while.

Man, sometimes I (almost) wish I had taken the blue pill. I wouldn't even know about these drills and, if I did, would think surely there's nothing sinister behind these actions. Just a fully competent and benificent government preparing for...? Nothing too bad, I'm sure.

Osborn F Enready · Jun 19, 2006, 01:22 pm

"Government? Nah, I don't need one of those, I got my own rifle thanks."

If only life were still that simple eh?

Do you think they would mind if we asked them to stay in the bunkers, permanently? We will tell them when to come out, maybe?

Boy, I feel so happy watching my tax dollars at work..... :rolleyes:

Except that before 9/11/2001 the PNAC people were saying, "We need another Pearl Harbor event to justify going to war in the Middle East." Well, imagine that! Waalaa! Just like magic, their "another Pearl Harbor event" happened and they got Americans to approve of beating up Afghanistan and then moving on to Iraq. Hmm--interesting! Why that is in accord with the plan laid out in the book entitled, "The Pentagon's New Map."
Now ain't thet sumpin! Whut did uncle Jeb usta say, sompin' like "the more things change the more they stay the same"??

These thoughts remind me of the way Bush kept reading to school children after he had been informed of the attack on New York. His failure to immediately leave and see after that matter should be understood as headlines written in blood, saying "EVIDENCE OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE!!
