National Guard drill at high school to prepare for possible H1N1 riot (Maine)

PARIS — Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School will be the site of a National Guard riot control drill Thursday morning to prepare in the event of a panic over distribution of serum to treat the swine flu.

The school on Route 26 at the Paris-Norway town line has been designated by state officials as a distribution site for the H1N1 flu vaccine. The drill is to prepare for a worst-case scenario should the serum have to be transported from Augusta and people rush to get it.

On Thursday morning, four or five National Guard Humvees will travel from Augusta to Paris with vials of fake serum. The National Guardsmen will take on the roles of panicked citizens and military police and practice what they would do, such as using tear gas, in the case of a riot.

"This is just a component of moving the stuff from point A to B," said Oxford County Emergency Management Agency Director Scott Parker. The plan will be put into place only if needed, he said.

Plans were developed in April to have vials of serum sent from the federal government to Augusta, Parker said. From Augusta, the supplies will be transported to designated distribution centers.

H1N1 is a liberal manufactured crisis. It’s mind boggling what the politicians are churning up. Even more so that the dumbed down Americans masses it.

I think it’s going to be the other way around before it is over: i.e.

The “Second American Revolution” Has Begun By Gerald Celente

Shot #1 The first shot was fired on April 15, 2009. Over 700 anti-tax rallies and “Tea Parties” erupted nationwide. Rather than acknowledge their significance, the general media either ignored or ridiculed both protests and protestors, playing on “tea bagging” for its sexual innuendo.

Initially President Obama said he was unaware of the tea parties. The White House later warned they could “mutate” into something “unhealthy.”

Shot #2 was fired on the Fourth of July, when throngs of citizens across the nation gathered to again protest “taxation without representation.” And as before, the demonstrations were branded right-wing mischief and dismissed.

Shot # 3 The third volley, fired in early August, was aimed point blank at Senators and House members pitching President Obama’s health care reform package to constituents. In fiery town hall meetings, enraged citizens shouted down their elected representatives. It took a strong police presence and/or burly bodyguards to preserve a safe physical space between the politicians and irate townspeople.

Shot #4 Fourth Shot of the “Second American Revolution”: While there are many wild cards that could light the fuse, The Trends Research Institute forecasts that if the threat of government-forced Swine Flu vaccinations is realized, it will be the fourth shot. Tens of millions will fight for their right to remain free and unvaccinated.

Are they talking about Tamiflu or the vaccine with the mercury in it?

I am stocking up on my home remedies...no way I am taking the mark of the 666 beast!

“The drill is to prepare for a worst-case scenario should the serum have to be transported from Augusta and people rush to get it. “

Ha!! In their wet marxist dreams.

Sane Americans will stay far away from this “vaccine.”


And the US is not the only nation to be trying to vaccinate their populations. Here is a link to an article about Greece and mandatory swine flu vacs:

It’t the Pax. Think “Serenity.”

I've never seen anybody in Maine rush to do anything.

Oh for crying out loud, is that the best they can do? prep the national guard to tear gas the citizens? Why don’t they outsource the distribution to someone who knows what they are doing? Let Best Buy handle it like a consumer electronics craze, hand out wrist bands, give out numbers, take reservations.

Well, sorry to ruin your 4th shot but a court has already issued an injunction against trying to force people to take the flu shot. I am sure it will be upheld as unconstitutional. They tried the same crap(forcing flu shots on the public) in 1976 and it didn't work then either.

Why would you think that, under obamanation, an injunction would not be overturned quite easily?

I don’t know, I’m just guessing at things. I know that this man has a really good track record in predicting economic things.

thanks for the reply.
