Now there's a
report on Drudge from USA today about some sort of audio that had the comment
The Coast Guard speaker is heard saying; "Slow down or you will be fired on."

From the sound of it, no notice was broadcast. If it was, they can release the tape with time and information sent out. If this was a training exercise, poor choice of date and time to perform it.

Something doesn't smell right. Too much happening in the immediate area for this to be an “exercise”.

Got it.
We are having rain storms here in DC today, so the power going off could have been a concidence, but the timing of the electricity going off is totally suspect and coincides with the timing of the “incident” perfectly.

Adolph Hitler had his own thugs burn the Reichstag building. His ‘handling’ of the media fallout catapulted him into the unquestioned and unchallenged status of the wronged and permanently innocent ‘hero’ for subsequent decades.

Perhaps a quick check of the spelling of the word Potamic might indicate that his post was sarcasm?

No more boat ‘activity’ showing on the river via the video cam (which still seems to be live at 11:05 AM EDT) at the link I posted previously ...

Yep, lots of stuff happening REALLY fast around “here” in recent times... I’m not liking the intuitive feelings I’m having right now, I’ll tell you that much. Things are definitely racheting up, or as you put it — some clock here is ticking although I don’t know what is coming... (Not that I’m claiming to be a psychic or anything mind you — it’s just this feeling I have... I hope and pray I’m wrong.)

FWIW, USA Today is right next to the location where this incident is reported to have taken place.
To: bcsco
Not only that, but his incident is hugh!

I’m with you. If Clouseau is running the show, then Homeland Security Dept. is a joke. Whatever happened to the cross-communication that is supposed to take place. CNN reproting that Secret Service didn’t know??? If its not BS, then Napolitano can go. Looks like Gorelick walls are back in place.
I want Congress to investigate.

I would agree with that. Awful coincidental indeed. I know some areas have a lot of problems with nearly every storm. Does your area generally lose power in those cases, and how heavy is that rain you’re getting? Any lightning and such? Strong winds?

Agreed. I had my “Fox News Live” desktop player open and there was a “breaking news alert” but when I clicked onto it, the feed never came through - just a still picture of the bridge and the river. Very strange.

but the timing of the electricity going off is totally suspect and coincides with the timing of the incident perfectly. Timing definitely suspect. And why halt flights? And who reported 10 shots? I can understand someone maybe misheard a shot or two... but 10?
Coast Guard spokesman John Edwards said references to shots fired were picked up in radio chatter. As part of its exercise Friday, the Coast Guard aired simulated instructions to participants to fire 10 rounds. But Edwards said there were no shots actually fired and there were no suspicious boats.
