operation noble resolve, oregonians in danger

WASHINGTON
� A U.S. military drill designed to enhance homeland security in the
event of a nuclear terrorist attack has some officials and media
outlets funded by billionaire George Soros warning it may be a "false
flag" operation leading to the detonation of a real nuclear device to
set the stage for martial law.

 
The exercise, part of the "Noble Resolve" program of the U.S. Joint Forces Command, is
set for tomorrow through Friday in Portland, Ore. Like other previous
drills, it involves coordination with local officials in a model
nuclear attack.
 
The
series of "Noble Resolve" experiments began April 23 in Suffolk, Va.
They represent a follow-up to similar series of drills called Urban
Resolve that took place in 2006.
The
efforts bring together JFCOM, Northern Command, the Homeland Security
Department and state and local officials to model responses to nuclear
terrorist attacks.
 
During
the experiments, which are largely based on computer modeling, the
"bomb" explodes inside the simulation. "Noble Resolve," according to
planners, strives to create processes for interactions among local,
state, national and international officials.

Last April, a similar "Noble Resolve" exercise took place in Virginia.


George Soros

However,
despite the precedent, some officials and the IndyMedia organization
supported by Soros are raising red flags � even claiming that in a
similar exercise, President Bush ordered the destruction of the World
Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and blamed it on radical Islamic
terrorists.

Writing in NewOrleans.IndyMedia.org,
Capt. Eric H. May, the military correspondent for the agency, asked the
following question about the Portland drill: "But what if they decide
to use a real bomb rather than simulate it?"

"A
false flag attack is one in which you attack your own people, then
blame it on a group of people you want to attack," wrote May. "It's a
radical stratagem for instantly creating hatred, and it's common,
historically speaking, all the way from ancient to modern times."

May gave the following examples:

  • The Roman emperor Nero burned Rome, then blamed it on emerging Christianity.
  • The German fuhrer Hitler burned the Reichstag, then blamed it on communist Jewry.
  • The American president Bush demolished the World Trade Center, then blamed it on radical Islam.

The
jitters in Portland, according to May, caused Rep. Peter DeFazio,
D-Ore., to grill the Bush administration about National Security
Presidential Directive 51,
first reported in WND, which authorizes the executive branch to assume extraordinary powers in the event of a national emergency.

"Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," DeFazio told the Portland Oregonian.

DeFazio,
a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was denied
an opportunity to examine classified documents related to Directive 51.

"At
this stage of the Bush regime and its terror-driven global war, there's
no shame in conspiracy theory, since it's the only theory that offers
consistent, coherent answers to our growing secret government and its
terror policies," wrote May.

Meanwhile, Portland's version of IndyMedia, raises even more concerns about the impending exercises.

"There
has been a growing concern over the mock or simulation events (nuclear
attack and martial law) proposed to take place in Portland, Oregon, by
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other governmental agencies now
called Operation Noble Resolve," reports the agency in an article
titled "Don't Nuke Portland." "This mock event has been feared by some
in the past to set up martial law in Portland during the months of
August and September, but newer information has raised concern of
graver fears."

The
article goes on to speculate that an actual nuclear attack by the U.S.
government might take place during the drill. It goes on to assert that
the 9/11 attacks were a false flag operation and urges those who have
been hired or volunteered to be a part of the exercise to refuse to
participate.

"Why
participate in a simulation that supposes an external attack on the USA
when there seems to be more internal threat by enemies of democracy
within?" poses the article.


Teresa Heinz Kerry

Besides
grants from Soros, IndyMedia.org has also received support from Teresa
Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation. The Ford Foundation has also offered
support. Ralph Nader's Public Citizen organization also assists
IndyMedia.org.

When
star football player Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanistan, the The
Portland, Ore., chapter of Indymedia.org posted the news of Tillman's
death accompanied by this headline: "Dumb Jock Killed in Afghanistan."

According
to its website, "Indymedia is a collective of independent media
organizations and hundreds of journalists offering grass-roots,
non-corporate coverage. Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the
creation of radical, accurate and passionate tellings of truth."

It
maintains websites in 50 major American markets, five chapters in
Africa, 13 in Canada, 39 in Europe, 15 in Latin America, eight in Asia,
and nine in Oceania.

In
light of the scare stories, the Portland Oregonian editorialized in
favor of the drill and many local officials are participating in the
exercise because they believe it is necessary to prepare for a
worst-case scenario.

One nuclear terror expert said earlier this year the chances of a detonation in the U.S. in the next decade are 50 percent.

Also, about the same time, Vice President Dick Cheney said the threat of nuclear terrorism is very real.

"The
fact is that the threat to the United States now of a 9/11 occurring
with a group of terrorists armed not with airline tickets and box
cutters, but with a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own
cities is the greatest threat we face," he said. "It's a very real
threat. It's something that we have to worry about and defeat every
single day."

Meanwhile, the
most extensive study of the effects of such an attack concluded the
U.S. was woefully under-prepared to respond, particularly if the event
took place in a major population center.

    I urge all citizens of oregon  to write, email, or meet with peter defazio, make the growing concern known. let the bush administation know were watching them, i love this state, if a false flag attack did occur i would go to ANY length to bring justice to this once independant nation. vote ron paul for a bloodless revolution, believe it or not, it is coming.
