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.

August 30, 2007

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – 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 October 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.

NOTE FOR MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS: For more information on the exercise or for potential media coverage during the exercise, please contact Mr. Michael Kucharek or Lt. Cmdr. Gary Ross at the NORAD and USNORTHCOM Public Affairs Office, 719-554-6889.

But this operation seems to have been canceled for October and Lt. Col. Guy S. Razer, Maj. William B. Fox, Dr. James H. Fetzer, Capt. Eric H. May, SFC Donald R. Buswell say is now planned on November 12-18, 2008.

Operation Vigilant Shield, running from Nov 12-18, 2008, is much too big to ignore, as it will link multiple concurrent exercises including USSTRATCOM Global Lightning 09, Bulwark Defender 09, Canada Command Determined Dragon, California National Guard Vigilant Guard, and State of California Golden Guardian. Unfortunately, according to USNORTHCOM, specific information about Vigilant Shield scenarios will not be available for weeks, permitting less time to analyze the situation.
Once an urban area has been designated an exercise target, that designation increases its odds of actually experiencing a future false flag attack. It takes considerable resources to corrupt an area, and false flag insiders like to get a return on investment. Since Houston, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, and Phoenix have already been “prepared” in prior exercises, they remain especially vulnerable. In addition, Vigilant Shield will probably add new areas in northern California to the potential target list.

We can read :

On 18 Sept, the 1st Brigade Combat Team completed “Vibrant Response,” an exercise simulating a 10 KT nuclear weapon detonated in America’s heartland. USNORTHCOM told the Iconoclast this unit simply lends WMD-related expertise to local police. In reality their mission involves quelling civil unrest as well as responding to catastrophic man-made or natural disasters.

Now, a 'connecting the dots' exercice :

National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_and_Homeland_Security_Presidential_Directive

is a Presidential Directive which claims power to execute procedures for continuity of the federal government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency".

11) The eleventh nodal point was October 2008 Bush's ordering the day-to-day control by U.S. Army North, the Army component of Northern Command (NorthCom), of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team who could and will be used to quell U.S. "civil disturbances."

http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=10007.msg73759#msg73759

and

But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

Oh boy... and 9-11 happened during an "exercise". Bush has 77 days in which to do whatever he likes...

Not to forget the London bombings:

"At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now."

-- Former Scotland Yard Official Peter Power on BBC Radio, 7/7/05

Not sure of your source for this about it having been canceled -

Vigilant Shield 2008 was never canceled. It happened in October 2007 just as planned.

Vigilant Shield 2009 is planned for November 12-18, 2008.

Outside of that your observations about Vigilant Shield '09 and all the other dots are spot on. All these so called exercises lend cover to false flag operations or at the very least they add to the pot of the PTB plans.

Assumption of myself, as I was not aware of the "2009" name.

Do you have a link about it ?
thx.

I remember the Vigilant Shield 2008/TOPOFF 4 exercise in 2007. If you search the Internet "Vigilant Shield 2008" you should find links that describe the results afterward. One link being here VIGSHIELD.


For "Vigilant Shield 2009" I just got it off www.northcom.mil where the 2008 exercise was mentioned.

Just click on their News button. For VS 2008 Click on News, then 2007 Archive.


Internet search "Vigilant Shield 2009" OR "vigilant shield 09" brings up several sites military and other.

Thx for your input, sometime, after too much search on the web I'm saturated, specially with ponerology subjects.

Thanks JR!

I read that post from Xman, er no. I SKIMMED it.
Ooops. Careful with that axe Eugene.

 

[durabone]

JR;

I am confused by this all.

This PDF:

_http://www.jte.osd.mil/docs/highlights/Newsletter%20aug%2008-08.pdf

says that the "2009" exercise does start today.

All objectives of the RRE were met and are being applied by the JNKEI JT as it continues refining the TTP test article and preparing for its first mini-test during exercise Global Lightning 2009 (USSTRATCOM)/Vigilant Shield 2009 (United States Northern Command) November 12 through 18, 2008.

interesting! i totally missed that. careful with that axe indeed ;) so, apparently they're starting early, like releasing a 2009 car in late 2008? "the new chrysler martial law, coming this holiday season..."

Just as an FYI: the YEAR designation (Vigilant Shield 07, 08, 09) corresponds to the federal fiscal year, not the calendar year. I got this information a few weeks ago from Lt. Col. (USN) Gary Ross of NORAD/NORTHCOM.) That's why they always seem to be a year ahead. This year, curiously, no information or news release on VS 09 was made available till November 5, while in previous years, the news release from NORTHCOM was both much earlier and much more detailed. I only learned about Vigilant Shield 09 several weeks ago because I called directly to NORAD/NORTHCOM to get information about VS 08. which I had -- like many others, obviously -- mistakenly thought was going to happen in October 2008.

Those who are worried about martial law, check out the Wayne Madsen Report about Bush and company planning to implement martial law through FEMA.

You might also want to get the full text (minus still-classified annexes) of two documents Bush signed in 2007: National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPF-51) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 (HSPD-20). Both are available from the White House web site.
