Dear Sirs:
This email is being sent as part of a continuing mission of

We are trying to thwart the possibility of another false flag attack on
American soil, and have identified a significant new danger in the upcoming
National Level Exercise 2-08 that will run from 1-8 May 2008.
We have co-authored with Dr. James H. Fetzer and SFC

The name "false flag" comes from the old
pirate's ruse of flying another country's flag during an attack, thereby
shifting blame for the attack to a party that had nothing to do with it.
Governments use false flag attacks to push their nations into dictatorship or
war. As military experts, we fear that national terror drills, scheduled for
May 1-8, could be used to camouflage a false flag attack in the United States.

Inside the US, Bush
approval ratings are well below 30%, and approval ratings for the U.S. Congress
and mainstream media are even lower. Over three quarters of the American people
believe that the country is on the wrong track, and just as many want to end
the quicksand war in the Middle East. The economy is crashing as fuel prices
are skyrocketing. The Establishment is losing its grip on power. It would take
another 9/11 to make the nation forget its domestic woes and resume its lost
zeal for the Neo-Con "new American century" of foreign wars and a
domestic police state.
In his much-discussed
February article, "False
Flag Prospects, 2008," http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/08/02/25/may.htm
Captain Eric H. May documented the disturbing fact that military and police
exercises were occurring at the same time as the 9/11 US attacks in 2001 and
the 7/7 UK bombings in 2005. In that prescient article, he designated the
Pacific Northwest as one of the top three target zones for the next US false
flag attack, and the Pacific Northwest will be the target of terror drills May
1-8.
Should a major event
occur during the drills, the Bush administration is prepared to implement
National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51, which establishes
dictatorship "in the event of a man-made or natural catastrophe." It
is an extraordinary measure, and the White House has stonewalled Homeland
Security Committee members from the House of Representatives who wanted to read
it. One of those members, Oregon's Peter DeFazio summed up the feeling of many
Americans about NSPD 51 when he said "Maybe the people who think there's a
conspiracy out there are right."
Fears that a false flag
attack might result in martial law are nourished by last week's militaristic
Operation Sudden Impact, reported by Infowars.net writer Steve Watson: "Three
States Subjected to Martial Law Sweeps"
http://www.infowars.net/articles/april2008/180408impact.htm
National Level Exercise 2-08
|
|

Maj. William Fox
|

NLE 2-08 will involve the
very highest levels of Homeland Security and the US Northern Command. Both
"Homesec" and "Northcom" were established by the Bush
administration in the wake of 9/11 to take control of the nation in the event of
another terrorist attack. They will be joined by FEMA in the May 1-8 exercise,
which is one of the two largest terror drills scheduled this year.
On Thursday, May 1, the
exercise begins in Washington, when an explosion collapses the Alaska Way
viaduct in downtown Seattle and damages surrounding buildings. Twenty minutes
later, terrorists explode a highjacked tanker filled with highly toxic
chemicals at the Seattle Ferry Terminal. Deadly gas soon permeates downtown
Seattle.
Emergency responders come
in waves. Police and firemen, first to arrive, are quickly overwhelmed. The
state deploys its 22-member Civil Support Team, a National Guard unit, to
assess the damage and coordinate support. Later, 100 soldiers from a chemical
battalion based in Yakima arrive to rescue, decontaminate and treat survivors.
Finally, 5,000 troops arrive to handle logistics and security.
On Monday, May 5, the scenario
shifts to Oregon where VX, the most toxic nerve agent ever synthesized, erupts
from the Umatilla Army Depot.
The next day, terrorists
blow up a chemical tanker in Ferndale, Washington. The county sheriff requests
national support, and a Marine Corps chemical warfare detachment temporarily
based at Ft. Lewis, Washington for the exercise responds.
According to sources at
Northcom, NLE 2-08 will involve "robust play," with "surprise
injects" of unanticipated events in which participants are "stretched
to the limit" and have "everything thrown at them except the kitchen
sink." All of this makes it easier for the exercise to "go live"
by having a real catastrophe occur.
As the Pacific Northwest
scenario is playing out, Washington, DC will be simulating a catastrophic
hurricane as part of the same exercise. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to
suggest that this puts Dick Cheney back in the bunker he occupied during 9/11.
Citizens interested in
understanding how local, state and national levels of the military can be
manipulated into working against us should read "The Real Drill"
by Major William B. Fox, about Portland area terror drills last year.

Many American citizens
are deeply concerned about police militarization, and about government and
media preconditioning of our nation for future terror attacks and martial law.
We recommend that they monitor NLE 2-08 closely. Armed with cell phones, cameras
and the Internet, they are the single greatest deterrent against false flag
terror.
If we, the co-authors of
this alert, are in error about anything, then we invite reasonable officials to
investigate us and our assertions at the very highest levels. In the past we
have too often met with hostility, evasion or deception by officials involved
in terror drills. We have been stonewalled when we have requested access to an
extended schedule of unclassified military and police terror drills.
We believe that there is
a pattern of official retaliation against patriotic service members who ask
questions about 9/11 and false flags.
In 2006, Sergeant First
Class Donald Buswell, an Army military intelligence NCO, suggested that 9/11
might have been a false flag operation. Within a month the decorated
40-year-old Iraq war veteran suffered a freak pulmonary embolism, which nearly
killed him. After he was released from the hospital, his command accused him of
disloyalty for his remarks, and subjected him to an extensive military
investigation. Ultimately, he was fully exonerated, and the now-retired Buswell
has become widely known on the Internet as the "9/11 NCO." Stephen
Webster, writing for The Lone Star Iconoclast, gained national
attention with his story about Buswell, "Under Fire! U.S. Army
Intelligence Analyst Targeted for Suggesting New Independent 9/11 Investigation."
http://www.lonestaricon.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=426&z=40
The duty to keep the
government honest isn't optional for those of us who have taken an oath to
defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It has
always been difficult, and even dangerous, to serve the American people. We
call on all active-duty soldiers, police and first responders to obey their
oaths by asking questions that need to be asked, and by thinking twice before
blindly carrying out orders that may result in an a false flag attack against
their country. We urge leaders of those soldiers, police and first responders
to explain that diligence is not disloyalty, and that no one ceases to be a
free American citizen by putting on a uniform.
Issuing an alert—as we
are doing now—is not an instance of "crying wolf," as Bush
administration apologists often assert. As military-trained experts, we are
convinced that the US 9/11 and UK 7/7 attacks were set up under the camouflage
of terror drills. The existence of a wolf is not in question. The wolf of false
flag terror has killed our fellow citizens and frightened our country into
needless wars. It's our mission of conscience to keep it from striking again.

As a supplement to "MAYDAY
ALERT!—Terror Drills Could Go Live!" by Dr. James Fetzer, myself, Capt
Eric May, and SFC Donald Buswell, this article provides more details about the
actual conduct of the NLE 2-08 exercise and an explanation regarding why
Portland, Oregon may also be "terrorist" target in addition to
Seattle, WA, Ferndale, WA and Umatilla, OR.
A high level military
exercise is the ideal environment for corrupt insiders to pull off a false flag
event similar to 9-11. Insiders stand at the helm where they can control the
military’s reaction to crisis. They also control the flow of information and
its interpretation. Last, but not least, while using one part of the government
to covertly run a phony terrorist attack, they can have other government
agencies running at full speed to make insiders look competent at handling
crises and therefore deflect suspicion.
Webster Tarpley, author
of 9-11
Synthetic Terror: Made In the USA, counted 25 military exercises
running concurrently with the 9-11 inside job. NLE 2-08 will contain nine
different exercises. Hence, we must take this exercise very seriously.
The
basic exercise scenario
The following was pieced
together by the Iconoclast after interviewing different sources:
On 1 May 2008 a
vehicle-borne improvised explosive device explodes under the Alaska Way viaduct
in downtown Seattle, Washington, collapsing the bridge and damaging surrounding
buildings. Twenty minutes later, terrorists explode a high-jacked tanker filled
with a highly toxic gas at the Seattle Ferry Terminal. A plume of deadly gas
reaches throughout downtown Seattle. (2006 estimated population 582,174).
Police, firemen, and
other first responders are completely overwhelmed by mass casualties. Through
the state government they request three response waves going up to the highest
national level.
The second response wave
consists of about 22 chemical warfare specialists from the Washington National
Guard 10th WMD
Civil Support Team (CST) based at Camp Murray, Tacoma, Washington. They
assess the threat, provide expert technical advice, and coordinate follow on
support.
The third response wave
consists of a “CERFP”,
a collection of over 100 soldiers from the 420th National Guard chemical
battalion based in Yakima, Washington. They search the incident site, rescue
and decontaminate casualties, and performing medical triage. (In military
acronymal gobblydegook, the “C” in “CERFP” stands for “CBRNE” or “Chemical,
Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or High-Yield Explosive” and the “ERFP”
stands for “Enhanced Response Force Package”).
The fourth response wave
consists of a “CCMRF”,
a task force with a peak strength on paper somewhere around 4 -5,000 military
personnel. In addition to augmenting the functions of the aforementioned units,
it processes human remains, provides major logistical and air operations
support, augments security forces, and performs other broad spectrum or
high-end services. It consists of a rotational pool of active and reserve units
from every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. (A "CCMRF" is a
"CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force").
On May 5th a gas plume
erupts from the Umatilla Army Chemical Depot in northeastern Oregon that stores
VX, the most toxic nerve agent ever synthesized. FEMA describes
the accidentally leaked gas as "chemical agent."
On May 6th, a second
high-jacked tanker blows up in Ferndale, Washington. First responders in the
Ferndale-Bellingham area also request the full response sequence up to the
highest national level. A U.S. Marine detachment from the aforementioned CCMRF
previously sent to aid Seattle is now redeployed to this area.
I called public affairs
officers with different commands, and was told many different things by
different people, to include some contradictory stories. This is actually
pretty normal for military exercises. For example, in my article "Noble
Resolve and the Ignoble Whitewash," I mentioned that "To counter
growing public anxiety about nukes, a military spokesperson interviewed by the
Portland radio station KBOO a week before Noble Resolve 07-02 commenced on Aug.
20, said the scenario was changed from a nuke to a natural disaster."
Since exercise planners
can continually re-massage their hypothetical scenarios, we quickly reach
diminishing returns in trying to uncover accurate details. For our purposes,
the main objective is determine if the overall pattern of the exercise is rich
with opportunities for corrupt insiders to pull off an actual false flag WMD
attack. I think that the clear answer is "yes."
I was told that the
Umatilla Army Depot only stores VX gas, and that under the original exercise
scenario terrorists high-jack two tanker trucks and blow one up in Seattle on
Day One, and blow up the other in the Ferndale, Washington vicinity on Day Six.
Then I was told by another source that tanker trucks do not hold VX gas very
well, and that in writing a story I should preferably use low-key language like
"toxic industrial gas" for the Seattle, Umatilla, and Ferndale events
and not "VX."
One source told me that
he saw a civil defense map that depicted "toxic gas" enveloping
downtown Seattle. Another source said that he saw the gas blowing out to sea
and leaving the downtown area relatively unscathed. A third source played down
Seattle altogether.
In regard to the latter
case, six very credible sources completely disagreed with him. They told me
that Seattle is very definitely the target for the 1-6 May scenario. I
side with them.
While first real-life
responders within the Bellingham and Ferndale area are very much part of the
actual play of the exercise, Seattle first responders have been largely left
out.
Instead of moving
military personnel through downtown Seattle, the military will use an urban
combat training village called "Leshi Town" at Ft. Lewis to simulate "Seattle."
(Ft. Lewis is about 46 miles south of downtown Seattle). Exercise coordinators
will not bring in a full strength CCMRF (4-5,000 personnel), but rather about
1,220 to 1,550 individuals from across the nation. They will be billeted and
play out most of the exercise on base.
Other services are
involved. As an example, on May 5th and 6th members of the Minnesota Air
National Guard will fly C-130's to McChord Air Force Base near Ft. Lewis. The
PAO for McChord, LtCol Anna Sullivan, told me that they will practice
transporting seventy simulated patients (mannequins on litters) to the Oregon
Air National Guard facility at Portland International Airport.
The Northern Command
(Northcom) Public Affairs officer, Michael Kucharek, told me that there will be
"numerous aerospace events" that might include a commercial airliner,
military aircraft, and small aviation aircraft. Previous exercises have involved
UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The exercise will test the warning and
control of NORAD, but he could not be more specific about the scenario than
this.
The Northcom PAO also
said that his command expects to hold one other big exercise for this year in
addition to NLE 2-08. The next big exercise will probably be a reincarnated
version of TOPOFF that took place last October. It will probably take place
around the same time of the year, except it will be renamed something like
"NLE 3-08." (Please see my article, "Nation
on Edge: Operation TOPOFF").
False flag indicators
embedded within the exercise
First, let me make a
disclaimer. As a former military officer, I am a great believer in civilian and
military preparedness. I generally support all honestly conducted exercises.
However, Dr. James H. Fetzer is correct in his article "9-11
and the Neo-Con Agenda" that we are faced with a "crime syndicate
masquerading as an administration." See also my article "Thomas
Jefferson and the `Incredible Truth' about Bush Cabal Wise Guys and False Flag
Nukes."
The malefactors are still
at large. Until they are caught and brought to justice, we must understand how
ordinary strengths of honest exercises can be high-jacked and perverted by
false flag operators. Most military and civilian communities need to greatly
increase their analysis and detection capabilities in this area.
The following are
examples of possible false flag indicators as they might apply to NLE 2-08.
Involvement of
the highest level of command authorities. Part of the exercise
scenario involves a class 4 hurricane sweeping through the National Capitol
Region. Michael Kucharek, public affairs officer (PAO) for Northcom, told the Iconoclast
that this will give anyone at senior levels an opportunity to “coop and cog” in
the Washington, D.C. area (ie. practice “continuity of ops, continuity of
government”).
Please recollect reports
of VP Dick Cheney in the bunker during 9-11, instructing subordinates to
ignore radar blips converging on the World Trade Center Towers and
Pentagon. Please also recall back in 1967 how President Lyndon Johnson recalled
fighters scrambled from a carrier to save the U.S.S. Liberty from a deliberate
attack by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats.
Involvement of
high level Army and Marine Corps WMD specialists. Lt Keith Kosik, PAO
for the Washington National Guard, and Randy Mitchell, PAO for U.S. Army North,
told the Iconoclast that the exercise will involve actual members of
the Washington National Guard 10th Civil Support Team, the 420th chemical
battalion based in Yakima, WA, and an actual CCMRF consisting of about 1,220 to
1,550 individuals drawn from active and reserve units across the nation. They
include a detachment of 125 U.S. Marines. The CCMRF members will probably play
the exercise as if they are part of a full strength task force of 5,000
personnel.
For Day 6 of the
exercise, planners currently visualize sending a detachment of about 125
Marines on a day trip from Ft. Lewis to Ferndale, WA and back.
The travel radius from
Ft. Lewis to the Bellingham-Ferndale area may give us an important clue about
how far from Ft. Lewis corrupt insiders might conduct a real strike within a
concentric ring on a map. Ft. Lewis is roughly the same distance to Bellingham
and Ferndale to the north as it is to Portland, Oregon to the south. (According
to one
web source, Ft. Lewis to Bellingham is 136 miles, whereas Ft Lewis to
Portland is 130 miles).
Captain May and I believe
that Portland has already been fully “prepped” for a possible false flag terror
strike from the TOPOFF exercise in Oct 2007. We believe that once insiders have
prepared areas by coopting and compromising local officials, they tend to
opportunistically revisit the same sites over and over again like a thief going
through certain neighborhoods checking for unlocked door knobs. (Captain May
elaborates on this point further in "False
Flag Prospects, 2008 —Top Three US Target Cities").
It is quite possible that
the Seattle scenario is a red herring, and Portland remains the prime target
for the Pacific Northwest.
Seamless
integration of local first responders with Federal personnel. Chief
Criminal Deputy Jeff Parks for the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office told the Iconoclast
that “the point of the exercise is for Federal personnel to work shoulder to
shoulder with local first responders.”
Normally, this would be a
good thing for a major emergency, however, in the bizarro world of the corrupt
Bush administration, this can become a negative. Integration can reduce local
independence and the number of individuals willing to stand up and act as
whistle-blowers towards federal abuse. Federal centralization also gives top
insiders greater control over the flow of information and its interpretation.
All of this becomes ominous as one contemplates scenarios involving
militarization of local police, possible martial law lock-down throughout
America, and mass confiscation of all privately owned firearms.
Surprise
“Injects.” The PAO for Northcom told the Iconoclast that the
exercise will be characterized by “robust play,” with “surprise injects” of
unanticipated events where participants are “stretched to the limit” and have
“everything thrown at them except the kitchen sink.”
Normally elements of
uncertainty are a good thing, because it forces exercise participants to become
more flexible, creative, and analytical in their thinking. However, “surprise
injects” also create greater opportunities for insiders to take an exercise “live.”
In the event of a tragic turn of events, such adjectives might then take on a
macabre new meaning.
