NORTHCOM Plans 5 Day Martial Law Exercise
Intel Strike | September 7, 2007

The United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has just announced
plans for an anti-terrorism exercise called Vigilant Shield 08 . The
exercise which is slated to run from October 15th to October 20th is
described as a way to prepare, prevent and respond to any number of
national crises. The exercise is simply a test case scenario for the
implementation of martial law. Although the description of the
exercise is disturbing, USNORTHCOM also announced that they are more
prepared for a natural disaster and a terrorist attack after they used
their response to Hurricane Katrina as a test laboratory. During
Hurricane Katrina, authorities violated the constitutional rights of
citizens by stealing people's firearms and even relocating people
against their will. These announcements are incredibly disturbing on a
number of levels as the nature of Vigilant Shield 08 and the admission
that Hurricane Katrina was used as a test laboratory shows that the
government is actively preparing the military and government
institutions for martial law.
Below is the full press release from USNORTHCOM describing Vigilant
Shield 08. Also check out the Vigilant Shield 08 fact sheet by

North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command
along with U.S. Pacific Command, the Department of Homeland Security
as well as local, state and other federal responders will exercise
their response abilities against a variety of potential threats during
Exercise Vigilant Shield ?08, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-
designated, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S.
Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)-sponsored, and U.S. Joint Forces Command-
supported Department of Defense exercise for homeland defense and
defense support of civil authorities missions.
VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4),
the nation's premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by
the Department of Homeland Security, and several other linked
exercises as part of the National Level Exercise 1-08. These linked
exercises will take place Ocober 15-20 and are being conducted
throughout the United States and in conjunction with several partner
nations including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well
as the Territory of Guam.
VS-08 and National Level Exercise 1-08 will provide local, state,
tribal, interagency, Department of Defense, and non-governmental
organizations and agencies involved in homeland security and homeland
defense the opportunity to participate in a full range of exercise
scenarios that will better prepare participants to prevent and respond
to national crises. The participating organizations will conduct a
multi-layered, civilian-led response to a national crisis.
USNORTHCOM?s primary exercise venues for VS-08 include locations in
Oregon, Arizona and a cooperative venue with USPACOM in the Territory
of Guam. NORAD?s aerospace detection and defense events will take
place across all the exercise venues, to exercise the ability to
mobilize resources for aerospace defense, aerospace control, maritime
warning, and coordination of air operations in a disaster area.
This exercise is clearly a way to prepare government to respond to a
national crisis with martial law. This announcement also follows a
number of other news stories that indicate the government is becoming
more actively prepared for the implementation of martial law.
These stories include the following:
George W. Bush issuing a presidential directive declaring that he is a
dictator during the case of a national emergency be it a natural
disaster, a terror attack or any number of crises.
KSLA reporting that members of clergy will be used to convince people
to submit to government in the case of declare martial law. See the

In addition to the announcement of Vigilant Shield 08, USNORTHCOM also
announced that they have been using the lessons learned from Hurricane
Katrina to better respond to crises. The response to Hurricane Katrina
was essentially used as a test laboratory to implement martial law in
a city. People were forced to relocate against their will and
authorities stole people's firearms in the name of safety despite
these actions being entirely unconstitutional.
From USNORTHCOM :
Hurricane Katrina's impact on this country was unprecedented. There
are still many of our fellow Americans whose lives still haven?t
returned to normal, said Gen. Gene Renuart, commander of North
American Aerospace Defense Command and USNORTHCOM. It will take many
years for the Gulf Coast to fully recover.
The United States military was deeply involved in the response to the
hurricane and subsequent flooding, Renuart said. While our Soldiers,
Sailors, Airmen, and Marines helped thousands of people, we also
learned many lessons.
According to Renuart, USNORTHCOM has been using the lessons learned
from Katrina to modify plans to respond to both natural disasters and
potential terrorist actions.
Northern Command also admits in the same article that they have pre-
scripted mission assignments coordinated with FEMA to implement
martial law under the pretext of disaster response.
From USNORTHCOM :
USNORTHCOM is ready to help federal, state and local officials to be
prepared for a major hurricane and to be successful at conducting
response operations, if necessary and requested by the primary
responding agency. Some of the ways these objectives are being
achieved are:
Through State Engagement programs, USNORTHCOM provides planning
support to help states prepare for emergencies.
USNORTHCOM and its subordinates, as well as local, state and federal
partners conduct major disaster exercises to refine processes and
apply lessons learned.
Working with FEMA, USNORTHCOM has prepared pre-scripted mission
assignments to accelerate the disaster response process.
USNORTHCOM conducted a major exercise with the National Guard in May
to refine the interface between the National Guard and DoD.
There is no question that Vigilant Shield 08 is either government
preparation for the implementation of martial law or a way for
criminal elements within the government to distract emergency
responders in order to conduct a false flag terror attack as a pretext
to actually implement martial law and engage in foreign war. On
September 11th, 2001 there were drills run by NORAD including Vigilant
Guardian which served as a way to ensure that there was no adequate
military response to the hi-jacked planes. A similar scenario
unfolding with Vigilant Shield is not out of the question.
