For what good reason they may do it?

A show of strength to pre-terrify urban inhabitants. It makes confiscation and purges so much easier.

Hmmm.... Makes you wonder: why so close to a large population center? The military usually wants to practice in areas well away from prying eyes and ears (Area 51?). What could be so interesting in SE Houston for them to use that area? I wonder if any of the grunts participating in the “drills” wondered the same thing? Just getting us ready for Martial Law, I guess.

They are extremely lucky that someone that was a little jumpy didn’t decide to start firing live rounds back at them.

Sooner or later, if they keep holding these unannounced drills, in highly populated areas, while firing blanks. Someone is going to get real confused and open return fire with real bullets.

….. Or, maybe, that’s the idea….

Why is there a joint MILITARY/LAW ENFORCEMENT exercise with blackhawk helicopters, live fire (blanks) with low flying and the sound of 50 caliber rounds going off as if in a firfight?

Recap-----Homeland Security purchases 1.2 billion rounds of 9 mm caliber ammunition.

------Homeland security states the biggest terrorist threat comes from southern militia-types.

-------Recent reports of Obama asking officers in the military if they would/or would not fire on Americans, if ordered.

-----Now this-lowflying, simulated firefights in heavily populated urban centers with military/law enforment.

Taken alone, perhaps no one of these is determitive. But all of them? Together? What the hell is going on in this country now?

That is basiclly what it is for. A show of force by the DHS Stoorm Troopers. You notice it wasn’t done in Washington, or New York which are prime terroist targets.

This is outrageous. I read the article clip and there isn’t any information as to why this was done. Can you imagine how frightened the people were? They had no idea what was going on... was there some sort of terrorist attack, were they being attacked? Those thoughts had to be going through their minds.

Preconditioning. You must establish the proper public state of uneasiness before initiating the crisis that will allow you to impliment your real goals.

If Ayn Rand was a visionary then Yuri Bezmenov was a prophet.

I fear that freedom is just an illusion now.

It’s time we play the game of not letting a crisis go to waste. Pass the word; this was an ICE training exercise to implement the purge element of the immigration reform deal being brokered.

Absolutely shameful behavior.

Hello out there! Do we have any Governors or representatives left to stand up anymore?

Hello, Hello? Cowards? anyone?
