Following the bread crumb trail of FEMA orders, retired State Senator Sheldon R. Songstad of South Dakota State issued an “Emergency Fema Region 3 Alert!!!,” on August 13th.
Region three is comprised of; Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Songstad’s research turned up some very interesting facts. Each item on its own could go unnoticed, but the collective facts may be worthy of your attention and scrutiny. The U.S. government appears to be preparing for a major event. It appears that this event is being staged for approximately Oct. 1st. Let’s look at the numbers and dates.
UN Peacekeepers began training the 4th week of July and will complete their nine week training by October 1st. They are learning English, as well as US weapon systems and Urban Warfare training.
How many troops are training? 386,000 troops!
The Center of Disease Control ordered $11 million worth of antibiotics. Where are they going? FEMA Region lll. When are they due? October 1st. This coupled with the fact that the World Health Organization held an emergency meeting, its second such meeting in its history, to discuss MERS Coronavirus. This is quite unsettling. The WHO determined that a vaccine MUST be in place by October 1st.
Periodic testing of GPS and Communications satellites is normal, but coordinating their testing for the first time, with a testing date of September 29th, is noteworthy.
All DHS agents MUST now qualify with sidearm, shotgun and AR 15’s by September 28th. Less lethal qualifications are not mentioned. Has one eye brow raised? The DHS will receive 2800 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAP’s) that must be delivered by October 1st.
All National Guard units will complete their annual two week training in riot control and disaster assistance. All units MUST have their training complete by September 30th. However, the Eastern-based Coast Guard units will not be performing their usual training in the Gulf, this year they will be trained in Virginia and Delaware for 10 days beginning September 26th.
Coincidently, the Emergency Broadcast System will begin daily testing beginning on September 25th thru October 2nd. All of this kind of reminds me of the bomb sniffing dogs being trained at the Boston Marathon for the first time ever.
FEMA purchase orders deserve a little attention too. They ordered over $14.2 million for MREs and heater meals and 22 million pouches of emergency water, to be delivered to Region III by October 1st. An additional order of $13.6 million worth of MRE’s and heater meals will be delivered to Austin by October 1st.
Our U.S. military will not be permitted leave from September 28th thru November 5th. NORCOMM’s yearly training for civil unrest is suspended until September 27th. To be performed in northeast coastal areas. Date for release of QE3 report has been moved to October 16th.
Over 300 school systems will be issued a 3 day emergency kit for each student in September.
The retired Senator’s national preparedness research was sparked by a comment Donald Trump made during a recent appearance on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” Songstad included a video version of his findings with his notice. His video is going viral.
How concerned should we be? Or perhaps the question is….How prepared should we be? Perhaps the answer is……Better prepared than the government.
I live in redneck central. We say bring it on, those blue helmet pansy’s have some cool toys.
I won’t be able to participate. I’m going fishing. Damn.
I’d assume some FReepers on here will confirm sightings?...They were all in the Reading, PA welfare office.
18 September 2013
Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a pre-solicitation for over 2 million rounds per year of 12 gauge 2-3/4” 1 ounce Foster rifled slug (reduced recoil) shotgun rounds, as well as 2 million of the standard recoil.
DHS intends to use the ammunition for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agencies spread throughout the US, Hawaii, Alaska, and territories.
Probably more like 10,000 foreign and 376,000 ANG.
This is getting really creepy. Is this the beginning of martial law if Obamacare is defunded??
Could be. I’m as prepped as I can get, if I get more time, I’d be more than grateful!
I can confirm the three-day school emergency kits.
Our kids came home with an apple, an orange and a lemon.
Michele sticker on the lemon.
Wouldn't you think that would be reported quickly here on FR, if we're talking thousands of US armed forces?
This is total BS. Foreign troops on American soil will be the easiest target in the world. Within 48 hours there will be so many dead ones that the rest will run crying home to Mamma. Note to UN foreign troops don’t come to the South. We know the Constitution and it would be an act of war that all citizens would react to.
That’s good!
Because at least 60% of the ANG WILL NOT fight American citizens.
I used to work with a guy who came up with these “warnings” all the time. Some that I remember were that the Cubans were training the Mexican army to invade the Southwest. McGovern made a pact with the Soviets that as soon as he won the election, he would turn over the entire nuclear defense control system to them. Of course, the Chinese troops massing on the Mexican border was short lived because we were close to the border and lots had relatives just over the line. Fort Knox being empty came up several times. The Watts riots produced several stories from him but I couldn’t quite figure what the blacks in LA would want with Superior.
All this long before the internet. He had several folks who always believed him too.
Any chance this is just a dog-and-pony show to either serve as a distraction, or possibly a cover to move a bunch of military gear around so that some of it can get “lost” in the shuffle?
End of year money. Need to spend it all, right? Because if you don’t it’ll lead to reductions in next years budget. Classic example was DoD buying 100 years worth of mainframe punchcards in the mid 1970s.
Add to that all of the end of FY activity to make sure that annual checklists/training/mandates are completed. GS15s and SESers don’t like getting dinged because their organization forgot to run it’s shelter in place drill.
What was the comment by Donald Trump that “sparked” the investigation?
I don’t know. I saw a reference of something he said on the Greta Van Sustern show. I think he was parroting the points made in this article.
I have piles of unpunched 80 column cards that I use for note and lists. They are great...
The federal govt. operates on a fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.
This date is all about using up your funds by Oct. 1
Nothing else.
Thanks.

Seriously? You can confirm the three day school kits?
