Former Marine Corps officers: MAYDAY ALERT! -- Terror Drills Could Go Live!

By Dr. James H. Fetzer

Captain Eric H. May
SFC Donald Buswell

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.

Strategic Signals

Yesterday an American-flagged ship fired on the
Iranian Navy, and now Pentagon sources say that they
have been ordered to prepare attack plans. Admiral
"Fox" Fallon, the Centcom commander who opposed war
with Iran, has been ousted in favor of Bush loyalist
General David Petraeus, who has spent the last month
accusing Iran for our increasing problems with the
Iraqi resistance.

Saudi Arabia has been preparing for nuclear fallout
from an attack on Iran since last month, when Dick
Cheney paid a visit. Israel has just finished its
largest-ever domestic war drills. Israel and the Bush
administration are insisting that Syria and North
Korea are nuclear collaborators. Syria is preparing
for the contingency of an Israeli attack. Iran is
preparing for the contingency of a US attack. US
government insiders speculate that Bush has promised
Israel an expanded Middle East war before he leaves
office.

The Neo-Cons are pounding their war drums again,
according to Dr. James H. Fetzer, the founder of
Scholars for 9/11 Truth, and he believes that nothing
would help them spread their imperial war in the
Middle East as much as another 9/11.

He has just published "9/11 and the Neo-Con Agenda."

The article is a must-read introduction for anyone
wanting to understand the origins and aims of the "
global war on terror."

Domestic Discord

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"

National Level Exercise 8-02

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 ship 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 arrived 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 from Ft. Lewis, Washington 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.

Mission of Conscience

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."

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.
