Today’s “anti-terror” drill in Pottawattamie County, Iowa has been put on hold due to the efforts of true patriots and loyal Americans. The very real threat of a terrorist incident is something that we as Americans have been increasingly forced to prepare for in the post 9/11 world. (Snip) Due to public indignation over the obvious political agenda of the “anti-terror” exercise, local organizers decided to cancel the event. The official response to charges of a carefully crafted political bias in the scenario was predictable. “In no way has our office or any other response agencies favored a political view

from the article:
Event organizers and local officials have been busy smearing patriotic groups and
individuals who expressed their displeasure over the chosen scenario and are
claiming that (unsubstantiated) threats have been made.

typical 'Rat tactics.....

“County officials said this scenario was chosen to meet the requirements for Department of Homeland Security funding. This would be attack is consistent with the 2009 DHS report on domestic terrorism in which Veterans, pro-life advocates, 2nd Amendment supporters and many other loyal American citizens were included in their list of potential domestic terrorists.”

They got money from DHS to promote their targeted enemy - the Conservatives. Why is the DHS promoting this absurd notion and why do they want state-wide funded excercises? So they can point to them at a later date to support...what exactly? They have a reason...

Back in the day, when police trained for these things,they would create a phony group protesting for made up causes.
When we had a Mass Causlity Incident drill, it was alway a plane crash into a school or a gas explosion.
Now that Uncle Obama and his thought police has entered the scene, everything has to have a political theme. Like Hitler or Stalin, the smallest thing has to demonize a group that opposes the regime.

The silver lining in this story is that “We The People” are awake and engaged. It wasn’t so very long ago that this sort of politically motivated drill would have been held without any meaningful public opposition.


The article was from 2011
