Is this related to what was going on in Northern California, up near Weaverville?

Things have gone wrong before. This is nothing more than a Robin Sage, but on a larger scale. Some parts of the exercise will be obvious, but other not so much. Some exercises similar to this happen all the time.

That’s a pretty dangerous game they are playing there. Hopefully, they are smart enough to “drop” on public lands or bases. If I saw someone parachuting into my back property armed, I’m not sure how it would end... not everyone reads the news

Thank you.

I’m glad not everyone has chosen to ignore the fact that this sort of thing has been going on since the Clinton administration.

It doesn’t make it good or right, just not unusual. They had an anti terror drill in Southfield Michigan last week with ISIS flags on vehichles.

A dry run to suppress the Republican vote in next year’s elections ?

They did it with the IRS, it’s not a far stretch to think they will try it with this.

Yeah, I suspect that during the drills, the locals will take various photos and stuff off whats going on it will make some blogs and news.

Back in the past, the stuff was pretty realistic. I suspect there will be marked vehicles, and other denotations, aside from the cant miss parachute drops.

In Southfield the exercise was supposed to take place entirely within the confines of an Army reserve center but somebody went for coffee or something in a Humvee with ISIS flags flying proud. LOL

A few years back a guy was arrested for driving a restored WWII era military truck with machine gun mockup on the back. He probably wouldn’t have bee arrested if he hadn’t been firing the “gun” at people on the sidewalks.

The LSE Event in Utah appears reasonably close to the Bundy Ranch.
