Troops Invade Chicago (for Training)

Downed planes, rail car crash and simulated terror attack simulations planned

By ADRIANA CORREA Updated 8:30 AM CDT, Wed, Jun 9, 2010

Disaster. Mayhem. Panic in the streets.

Chicago could look a lot like a Michael Bay movie-in-action this weekend when massive emergency response exercise takes place in and around the city.

The Illinois National Guard says more than 50 local, state, federal and private agencies will participate in the drill to learn how to respond to disasters. The five-day training exercise will run from Sunday through Thursday, June 17.

Officials with the Illinois National Guard say the event is a "full-scale exercise" and residents can expect to see emergency responders throughout the Chicago area "look and acting" as if it were a real disaster mission.

Officials say the practice events will include a simulated commercial airplane crash, simulated rail car evacuation and simulated terrorist attack.

Perhaps something is brewing now with Obama getting troops ready to quell or squash any protests by the citizenry?

Terrorist response training? I’m not buying that bilge even if they sell it for a nickle.

They [Chicago] are not doing this practice because of some ficticious 'emergency'. They are practicing for the time when they envision total crackdown on society - just like the rest of Commander Zer0's administration. Don't believe what they say for even a New York minute. The only thing they are 'there from day one' is in their planning for consolidation of power.

Actually, no I do not. I said ‘practice’ because I didn’t want to go whole-hog and commit to a hair-brained looney tinfoil conspiracy theory (that’s a joke, ha ha....) These people have very, very bad plans in store for freedom-loving people....

Five days long? Riiiiiight.

Here’s something novel—why not have the fifty Federal agaenices train for an incursion of about 4,000 people every day across our Southern border from the direction of Mexico?

Or how to lay a few miles of oil boom?

You know, something practical and realistic?

Actually, it might take the military to take down all the corrupt Chicago politicians... including Obama and Rahm.

Just because it is NG and ‘other’ local agencies doesn’t change my original statement.

Am wondering if this isn't an annually scheduled excercise (?)
 
Wise undertaking, if so. When things really go off into the ditch, where is all the hell going to really break loose? - the cities, not someplace like a Podunkville, TX.
