Critics: Iowa terror drill portrays immigration foes as killers
Investment Watch ^ | 24 March 2011 | William Petroski

Foes of illegal immigration are up in arms over plans for a weekend disaster exercise in western Iowa with a fictitious scenario in which young white supremacists shoot dozens of people amid rising tensions involving racial minorities and illegal immigrants.

The exercise is planned for Saturday at Treynor High School in Pottawattamie County and will involve more than 300 people, confirmed Doug Reed, the lead exercise planner for the county's emergency management agency. Some 30 to 40 "victims" will be transported to area hospitals. He said a terrorism scenario is required by federal officials for the exercise to be eligible for funding.

The exercise scenario describes shootings occurring after rising tensions in the community because of an influx of minorities, Reed said. The newcomers, some who are American citizens and some who are illegal immigrants, were to have moved into a rural area from urban areas in search of more-affordable living. The newcomers are not welcomed by racial extremists, and controversy sweeps the community, he said.

One of the fictional suspects involved in the shootings is described an 18-year-old white male with a quick-tempered father who is a firearms enthusiast with ties to an underground white supremacy group. A second fictional suspect is described as an isolated 17-year-old white male student who was befriended by the older student and who mimics his new friend.

Craig Halverson of Griswold, national director of the Minuteman Patriots, an activist group that opposes illegal immigration, said today he is concerned that the exercise is intended to portray people who legally possess guns and who fight illegal immigration as extremists. Members of his organization, as well as members of the Tea Party Patriots and the 9/12 Project, are calling and emailing Iowa's elected officials to voice their objections, he said.

Incredible!

I bet I know who is behind this. Eric "Black Panther" Holder and Fat Janet Lesbian are re-writing reality scripts about whitey shooting the poor undocumented workers, and shoveling millions in Fed funds to states that follow their fantasy novel.

Well well well!

Researching further, I discovered my hunch was right!

Look:

The exercise is intended to help improve the emergency response effort in Pottawattamie County to a crisis situation in the public schools, Reed said, noting that there have many incidents of school shootings nationwide, including the fatal shooting in January of an Omaha, Neb., high school administrator. But to qualify for federal homeland security grant money to help pay for some of the exercise's costs, a terrorism incident must be part of the exercise, he said. Simply staging an incident in which a student would shoot someone because they are unhappy over a grade or have an altercation with a teacher doesn't meet the definition of a terrorism incident, Reed said.

The leftists are training unionized government police to take sides on behalf of the customers of the welfare state and against the citizens who fund them.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't these ignorant Iowa racists nominate obama first?

I was raised in rural Iowa and this type of thinking and behavior is just not even fathomable.

Just the ones in Iowa City, Ames, Des Moines and along the Minnesota border. The rest of us are still sane.

Perhaps they should fund it themselves instead of trying to qualify for that Federal money. Federal Homeland Security grant money indeed!

Back in 2009, the Iowa Guard was going to conduct a "private firearms search" in Arcadia (which is also over in the W part of the state) until they got too much grief over it. The Feds' demonizing of Crackers 'n' Christians, along with their forced "credentialing" of all nominal emergency personnel, has been long out of control.

When I first heard the secretly recorded IPhone speech of Obama talking to money donors in San Francisco, giving his "clinging to guns and religion" hate spew - - I knew then and there the man was pure evil.

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

What was Obama referring to about Ohio and Pennsylvania, or "small towns?" He meant whites.

So clearly, he has antipathy towards people who are not "like him" - but the irony is lost on this man.

Next, what "religion" is he obviously fearful of? It isn't Islam. He was referring to Christianity, something that "bitter" people "cling to."

As if all of that isn't bad enough, he clearly fears people who own firearms to defend themselves.

It isn't paranoia anymore. The man, and his paid thugs, are full of hate.

No mention of the thousands of legal Americans killed by gangs and illegals here every year. None.

Just a fictional Liberal narrative by a Marxist regime.

100% on target. Guaranteed they will do this.

I have one thing to say. This is our country. If they think they can take it from us at no cost, they will be in for a surprise.

Better Dead than Red. Read it. Believe it. Because it is the truth.

You want us? Come get us.

A group of good Iowans should head up there early on Saturday and put up “Exercise Cancelled” signs.

It’s just a harmless exercise that will make some great documentation photos to show schoolchildren “how it is” in America.

Precisely. They’ll find out that we’ve been practicing, too.

Keep your powder dry.

Grassroots folks here in Iowa have been working hard all day to get this story out.

Here’s a link to the actual document:

I think page 12 is where the worst stuff starts.

This blog says the drill has been called off, but I haven't seen any verification of that.
