OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS TO CONDUCT BI-STATE STOP MOVEMENT EXERCISE Oct 22

NASDA.org ^

[RatBastage]

A stop livestock movement exercise is taking place on the Oklahoma/Kansas border on Oct. 22. The goal is to practice stopping animal movement across borders during times of contagious animal disease.

Traffic will be screened at two border locations; one three miles north of Turpin on Highway 83 and the other at the intersection of Highways 160 and 183 near Sitka, Kansas.

Wow. I thought this was going to be a 10th Ammendment thing.

Kansas put the cabosh on the movement of Texas cattle in the late 1800s because the TX cattle had a highly contagious disease spread by ticks and it was killing KS cattle.

This exercise gives them cover, but I’ll bet the real reason is to practice stopping movement of people across borders.

If they can stop cattle they can stop people.

[driftdiver]

ya beat me,

Also think of the impact on businesses this will have.

Sorry.. I left out the word ‘animal’. I’m trying to figure out how to edit the topic now.

It’s okay. I just got really excited because I have someone saving me a place in OK. I was getting ready to pack!

Yeah that works so well on the Texas and Arizona border.

commie cows ?

Ah... but they don't want to stop those people. They're at war with those that wish to keep the Constitution, not those that wish to come in and use it as toilet paper.

[nascarnation]

I still disagree.
The Baraqqis can do a lot of bad things to us.
But they aren’t going to keep us from crossing state lines.

Have you got any local, inside knowledge/suspicions on what the threat is in your area?

Our family herd was wiped out {state condemned} by brucellosis about fifteen years ago. The neighbors hauled in a load of infected cattle and that was all it took.

I’m a few hours east of this location.

This will affect the feed yards on HWY 83 between Turpin, OK and Liberal, KS. It’ll anger the truckers (you DON’T want to anger a bull-hauler!) and the smell if the wind blows the right way will gag anyone with the windows down.

This just means that the bull-haulers will go out of Liberal on Hwy 54 to another southbound road - as soon as the first one gets stopped!

The Texas equine population was quarantined in June 1971 when VEE crossed over from Mexico and was killing thousands of Texas horses. I remember the Oklahoma HP guarding the bridges of North Wichita County toward Oklahoma. It wasn't too good. Real cowboys unloaded their horses and rode the horses across the Red River and had the trailers pick them up near Devol and Randlett. It was a marginal blockage of the Texas horses. There wasn't enough manpower to block the Texas/Oklahoma border.

I bet you're a big fan of 'animal id' programs.

I have no inside connections, but I sure wish I did. I just stumbled across it when looking for other information. I have a few google search tricks that also came across another document, strangely dated in the future (22nd, so it looks to be for participants). To note were the program goals:

- Evaluate functionality and implementation of each state's plan
- Evaluate coordination and communication,
- determine resource needs
- achieve consensus from border states on the most practical methods for routing livestock-related transports during outbreaks affecting nonborder states.

Oh, and while only manning two checkpoints, to observe traffic and plan for as many checkpoints as would be needed based on the exercise. So in short, where else will truckers attempt, and what skills will be needed of the nice folks manning the checkpoints.

If this kind of stuff concerns you, then I recommend a search for 'multi-state partnership for security in agriculture'.

"..I bet you're a big fan of 'animal id' programs. "

Not necessarily.

It seems the the more information that is required of me, the more it tends to be used against me.

“Yeah that works so well on the Texas and Arizona border. “

Thats easy to fix, declare the area a national park. Evict all the squatters and force them to move to a more populated area. They’ll be easier to control.

[driftdiver]

I guess my point was if they can stop these trucks for an ‘exercise’, they can stop and detain anyone for an ‘exercise’.
