Portland to Host Terrorism Drill “NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2” Aug. 20 to 24

I did not write this, i am posting this because of it's importance.

Oregon Truth Alliance | August 19, 2007

This
is an urgent advisory notice from concerned citizens of Oregon and
Washington about an upcoming U.S. Joint Forces Command emergency
management exercise known as NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 that will simulate
terrorism or disaster scenarios in the Lower Columbia River Basin
between Aug. 20th and Aug 24th, 2007.

NOBLE
RESOLVE 07-2 was designed and will be directed by U.S. Joint Forces
Command (USJFCOM) and the Department of Homeland Security. We are aware
of no public notice concerning this exercise, but preliminary
investigation has revealed that Oregon National Guard officials and
federal officials will conduct the drill. Details from official sources
are minimal.

This advisory is to document our concerns, raise public awareness and urge citizen action based on the following facts:

1.
NOBLE RESOLVE is a computer-based simulation of a large-scale emergency
situation (e.g. earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, or terrorist attack
with nuclear weapon) in order to train for managing all aspects of the
emergency response through comprehensive software.

2.
Military exercises such as NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 have a recent history of
coinciding with lethal “live” events. This occurred both at the start
of Desert Storm in 1990 and on 9/11/01 when five or more major military
or security exercises were in progress on the very day of the actual
attacks. The same phenomenon occurred with the London Bombings of
7/7/05 during which a drill concerning multiple bomb attacks was being
staged on that day.

3. Vice President Cheney,
Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff and former Senator Rick
Santorum have all warned of a new 9/11 attack this summer, but are
giving no evidence in support. Chertoff based his prediction on a “gut
feeling”.

4. The May 2007 Presidential Directive
NSPD 51 (HSPD 20) addressing “continuity of government” in the event of
a massive emergency, includes secret "annexes" which are pertinent
additional documents. Some US Congressional Committee on Homeland
Security members such as Rep. Peter DeFazio have written to formally
request permission to review these secret "annexes" and have twice been
denied access by the White House.

5. This
particular exercise, NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2, includes one scenario
involving an unaccounted for, "loose," ten kiloton nuclear weapon,
exactly as Vice President Cheney hinted in recent interviews.
Department of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff claims he fears
the same.

6. The plummeting support for the GOP
has triggered comments from its members and analyses of its current
political strategy that point to a new 9/11 attack as a contributing
factor to GOP political salvation. Moreover, it appears that legends or
back stories are being disseminated to support just such an event.

Transparency
concerning NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 is vital for the public safety of
everyone in the Lower Columbia River Basin. We call on the planners,
directors and participants in NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 to be vigilant and to
maintain transparency with respect to these military exercises. We also
urge citizens and our elected officials to monitor the activities of
participants connected with the exercises and alert authorities to any
suspicious behavior. These exercises have an established pattern of becoming “live” events.
(Please read references below.) We recommend that officials of the
Ports of Astoria, Longview, Vancouver and Portland on the Lower
Columbia River take extra care in their monitoring and examination of
all shipping on the Lower Columbia River while NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 is in
progress. Finally, we urge all concerned to voice that concern in
letters and calls to elected officials and civil servants requesting
full transparency and citizen oversight.
