On the morning of September 11, 2001, NORAD and the US Air Force were conducting several "war games" exercises in the north-eastern US: operations Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Guardian, and Northern Vigilance. One of these exercises involved the scenario of a hijacked airliner being flown into a building. During this training operation, 4 commercial airliners were actually hijacked; 3 of them were flown into buildings and the 4th crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
Hmmm.... what are the odds of an actual terrorist attack occurring while you're practicing the exact same scenario at the exact same time at the exact same place? It was quite the coincidence.
On the morning of July 7, 2005, Scotland Yard's Anti-terrorist Branch was running an exercise based on simultaneous bombs going off at railway stations in London. While this exercise was happening, "terrorists" bombed the London subway system. Simultaneous bombs went off precisely at the railway stations where the exercises were happening, at the exact same time.
Again, what are the odds of a terrorist attack occurring while you're practicing the exact same scenario at the exact same time at the exact same place? Again, quite a coincidence.
Does this not seem a little suspicious to you? It certainly does to me. These types of coincidences on this large a scale don't just happen. This was the plan. What better way to utterly confuse the emergency responders so that they could not possibly see it coming and have no way of preventing and properly responding to the situation? To quote an FAA official on the morning of 9/11 when informed that airliners had been hijacked, and Air Force jets would need to be scrambled immediately, "Uh...Is this real world or exercise?".
Now that we can see how "terrorist" attacks seem to go down in the 21st century, it's not that difficult to see the hows and whens of possible future attacks. There have been a lot of veiled warnings of late coming from senior people in the US government. Here are some examples:
April 15, 2007, Dick Cheney: "The greatest threat now is 'a 9/11' occurring ... with a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own cities."
June 3, 2007, Dennis Milligan, Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party: "I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]."
July 1, 2007, ABC News: "A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror "spectacular" this summer."
July 11, 2007, Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security chief: "I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk."
July 20, 2007, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury: "Whether authentic or orchestrated, an attack will activate Bush's new executive orders [NSPD-51], which create a dictatorial police state in event of national emergency."
July 2007, Juval Aviv, former special consultant to the U.S. Congress on issues of terrorism and security: "I predict, based primarily on information that is floating in Europe and the Middle East, that an event is imminent and around the corner here in the United States. It could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could happen in the next few months. Ninety days at the most. Mass transportation is the next attack."
July 24, 2007, Peter DeFazio, House Homeland Security Committee member: "I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right."
OK, so we have some pretty important, in-the-know type guys all giving us vague premonitions of disaster, most likely of the nuclear variety, occurring somewhere in the US in the summer of 2007. Well, hold onto your hat and check THIS out...
During the week of August 20 - 24, 2007, a military exercise known as operation Noble Resolve will be taking place in and around the city of Portland, Oregon. This exercise involves the scenario of a nuclear attack on Portland. We have seen that large scale "terrorist" attacks for some reason always seem to occur during precisely this type of exercise. The exact same scenario, at the exact same time, in the exact same place. If I lived anywhere NEAR Oregon I'd be really nervous right about now. I for one will be paying close attention to operation Noble Resolve this month.
