PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A dead science teacher, weapons of mass destruction, first responders in hazmat suits and the Ohio Army National Guard all near the Municipal Stadium in Portsmouth, Thursday. There's no cause for alarm -- this is just a drill!
The mock disaster training exercise is being done with Scioto County first responders and the Ohio Army National Guard 52nd Civil Support Unit.
"It's the reality of the world we live in," says Portsmouth Police Chief Bill Raisin. "Don't forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared."
The make-believe scenario is timely. Two school employees who are disgruntled over the government's interpretation of the Second Amendment, plot to use chemical, biological and radiological agents against members of the local community.
Seriously, people who are not on drugs are leading lives of quiet desperation. The people on drugs want to excape but don’t know how, so they turn to drugs.
I’d wonder how sales of Zoloft and the like are doing there compared to the US per capita average. And plain old rotgut whiskey for that matter. (Not everybody who wants to escape, chooses to do it through opiates.)
Can’t be sure at all about who the chief really is, but it sounds like The Regime has been doing a lot of “discovery” as it goes around the country looking to recruit police state sympathizers.
Don’t know which side the chief is on, liberty in a democratic-republic - or - police state authority.
He may, or may not, have a clue about freedom’s foundations and the maintenance thereof.
The ice is thin. One more mass shooting and the way obama has been posturing himself would make the tension between Big Brother Government and the independent American Citizen even more volatile.
Maybe that's what he wants though...
There is a major terrorist attack coming down the pike.
They are laying the ground work to try and make it appear as if the “right wing extremist” have teamed up with foreign terrorist to wage war against the US govt.
Clinton tried to set it up the same way prior to the OKC bombing.
Clinton took a trip to the Philippine prior to the OKC bombing and low and behold there was an assassination plot against Clinton by al Quaeda.
In 2009 prior to the NYC subway plot, Hillary took a trip overseas and low and behold there was an assassination plot against Hillary by al Quaeda.
I'm expecting there to be an exact repeat of events so the military will line up behind Zippo and follow his orders and fight the “right wing extremist” terrorist which are waging war against the US govt.
Last but not least, you, yourself have done everything humanly possible to inform.
I’d normally think that a figure like Zero is so light weight that such a coup would be impossible, but it’s like he’s hypnotized half of America in a way that I can’t even begin to understand and fathom, but only can wonder about.
full Stalin
Ouch! BTW, I went all the way from grade school to high school with some friends who are in the Ohio Militia now.
Just like making a cake. Mix in 1 C of spite, 2 T lies, 1/2 C bs and a dash of entitlement. Bake on high long enough until the sheeple have risen and are solidified.
The only thing that prevented it from happening in 2010 with the fertilizer car bomb in NYC was the bomb was a dud.
Had that bomb gone off you probably wouldn't be reading this right now.
The left has never lied to themselves.
They knew they could obtain limited power without violence but they couldn't obtain absolute power without violence much less keep that power without violence.
If the left doesn't seize absolute power right now they're toast. They simply can't keep up the lies for 2 more years much less 4 more years.
Blaming Bush might have worked for 4 years but it won't work anymore.
There have been warnings and speculations about how cities & neighborhoods will deteriorate when the SHTF. Our small rural community recently had a grand opening for the new Goodwill store. A nurse we know went there during her lunch break and said it was pandamonium. Everything short of actual fist fights. For the opening of a GOODWILL store.
Note that the National Guard was a willing participant. They cannot be counted on to refuse firing on their neighbors once we have been sufficiently vilified.
CW2 has started already. Do we fight back or do we slip on the chains of slavery?
Do any of the talk show people ever discuss this villification via “domestic terrorist” labeling, war games and so on? Does anyone touch it? If they don’t, they’re worthless piles of steaming excrement and active enablers of the revolutionary cabal in charge of the government.
The County of my birth. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen it in the news.
“Ask the Jews who survived the Holocaust what this preliminary scapegoating portends.”
Good parallel; very fitting.
that is NOT a good omen... and a small community no less
They just used a hellhole to play in to not upset people.
I realize that there has to be a “villain” in these training scenarios, and I am concerned that the trend is toward “right wingers”, gun owners, liberty-conscious people, et al. However, what alternatives could they use that would be useful in a training context that would not result in a major backlash among victim advocacy groups? I mean, us white guys are the last remaining group that can’t be considered “victims”. In the binary Marxist world, we are the oppressors, right?
A DHS sponsored training exercise could hardly start with the scenario — “EBT cards fail to function and inner city blacks riot” ... or “OWS protestors march on and burn military recruitment offices and banks”, or “Muslim terrorists take over a school on a suicide mission a la Beslam.” The reactions from the media and victim advocacy groups would be deafening and 24/7 until everyone in the chain of command apologized personally for their insensitivity and underwent 200 hours of sensitivity training.
But if they use otherwise law-abiding whites or gun-owners as the “villain”, they won’t get heat from the press, and we have no advocacy groups to howl at the injustice of it. We retreat to our keyboards and whine to each other, and no one is threatened, no one feels bad for being so insensitive, etc. It’s just so much easier than any of the 10,000 other scenarios that would bring heat on the participants and planners.
I am not saying we shouldn’t be pissed about it, nor that it does not represent a dangerous trend. It’s just so much “easier” than any other alternative.
