Fort Lee Troops And Police Take On Protesters in “Anti-Terrorism” Drill
- Text size

Friday, Sept 4, 2009 
Soldiers teamed up with police at Fort Lee, Virginia this week for a three day long “anti-terrorism drill” that involved defending themselves from actors playing the part of “agitated” protesters.
A report from CBS affiliate WTVR provides details of the drill, which centered on containing and quelling a staged demonstration.
The volunteer protesters held aloft signs, one of which declared a “racist free zone” (see opposite, click to enlarge).
“We train our solders as realistically as we can, to protect for us as a garrison, other soldiers and families on the post” Fort Lee’s Garrison Commander Colonel Mike Morrow told reporters.
Combining active duty soldiers with civilian police has taken weeks of planning according to the report. The drill involved “all aspects of protecting of the military installation whether its protesters or terrorists.”
Fort Lee Chief of Police Joe Metzger told WTVR that in times of emergency the military and the police must work together. “We forget one’s wearing blue, one’s wearing a uniform. We all come together for the same cause”. Metzger stated.
Apparently that cause involves the prevention of people exercising their First Amendment rights.
One participating soldier was quoted as saying “I learned over here we also have missions back in the US to protect our families and friends and this is a part of doing so”.
It has been the case for a number of years now that the police and the armed forces are being trained, in this case TOGETHER, to treat protesting US citizens as a threat to security.
Now it is clear that the American people are the classed on same threat level as “terrorists” by the military and the police. Why else would such an exercise be part of an “anti-terrorism” drill?
Back in June we covered the news that current Department of Defense anti-terrorism training course material states that the exercise of First Amendment rights in the US constitutes terrorist activity.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The ACLU wrote a letter of protest to the DoD regarding its Antiterrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course, which advises personnel that political protest amounts to “low-level terrorism”. All DoD personnel are required to complete the course on a yearly basis.
Over the last few years we have also seen countless examples of security assessment reports from the likes of the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, as well as police training manuals, which state that anti-war protesters, gun owners, veterans, Ron Paul supporters and those who merely cite the Constitution should be equated with extremists.
The latest evidence of such training was sent to us last week in the form of a 2006 FBI training video produced as part of a program to train police how to spot and apprehend terrorists.
The “terrorists” in the presentation were people carrying video equipment, cell phones and sleeping bags in their cars, along with people taking photographs of structures.

Funny, Obama’s name isn’t mentioned in the article. Are you…
1. A shill here to divide us or…
2. Such an extremist Obama supporter that any criticism of the government at all you automatically write off as unwarranted, without even bothering to hear what the alleged facts even are, because your best friend Obama who truly cares about you wouldn’t do anything worthy of criticism so the people complaining must just be haters to you?

I hate Obama. I can see through my hatred, however. I see Obama as the enemy, but he is just a puppet. My phobia of death is difficult to see through, however. Reverse Racist is right, it is so, so sad to know our president is our enemy.
These soldiers are training? Where are the militia laying down heavy firepower? Where is the lone wolves sniping these pawns? This isn’t training fools. This is just a media photo op. If these pawns know what is good for their lives, they’d back off, or train a lot, lot harder.
So, so sad.

So you would give up a little liberty, for security
Sir, a man once said
To give up some liberty for security
You deserve neither
So it ok with you if you have to show your ID to cross a state line
A little extreme, but its close to happening
And forced to take this flu shot,
Or I bet you think an American Soldier should walk you across the street!
You know there were times in the past a soldier would walk you across the street to some ovens,
And then there was some in Cambodia, Africa, and how about Iraq and the prisoners the US had,
Well I can’t hold it back
You’re a God Damn Fool!

Has anyone heard anything about 09-09-09?

THere’s no doubt the globalist elite like to do things according to occult number combinations (numerology) eg 090909 which could be 666 (inverted) or some such other stupidity. The confluence of number combinations around 9/11 are amazing. There are people out there who track this so it might be worth googling ‘occult dates’ or ‘occult numbers illuminati’ and if it looks like a likely date for an event, send out an alert to as many people as you can. That is a good way to alert people to what’s going on, especially if something DOES happen.

All I know about “planned” events on 09/09/09 is Obama meeting with a Joint Session with Congress. He is supposed to pull out all the stops to promote the Deathcare Bill, and whatever else. Maybe some rightwing extremist will go nuts at the meeting, who knows what elaborate “crisis” may unfold. All I know is that Obama has run out of convienant crises’s, and now needs a fresh one to frighten the people into giving up more of their liberties.

I just wish our troops would remember their oath, and also carry a pocket constitutoin on their person so if in doubt about what they should do, just read it. Simple!

Fucking Virgina – far too close to DC. These publicity stunts will probaly just further rile the discontented to protest.

I live right beside Ft Lee I could hear people yelling and stuff over there but I guess I thought it was a brigade exercise or something. I think they did it for a “Log Warrior” exercise cause they did it where the AIT troops do their exercise before they graduate.”Log Warrior” is where AIT troops go on a 5 day exercise that encompasses everything they have learned so far. This must be a new part of that. Ch 6 news sucks anyway..they are always talking about what the military is doing. We were on Ch 6 one time..they came to our unit cause were the closest National Guard unit to Richmond and they wanted people to see what we did..Anyway..most of Ft Lee is either AIT quartermaster school which I went to or Airborne school..they probably did that as part of the Airborne AIT training I didnt really see any infantry part or any troops there besides AIT soldiers. So they probably were training AIT soldiers to deal with the new “threat”..whatever I didnt know protecting our right to protest was a threat to national security. Some of you say the military is bad and were are there to keep people down but I can tell you right now if we were given orders to shoot people most of the people in the military would lay down their weapons. Obviously there would be a few sociopaths in the military that would take advantage of that order..Obama knows this thats why he needs his own army that will do anything he says even kill other americans. So in reality the military that you people are so scared of will probably be the ones to save your asses when the shit hits the fan so you shouldnt be scared of us you should be scared of Obama’s new army. We are probably going to have to deal with them at some point militarily.

Interesting DaveHash.
I wondered, when 9/11 occurred, why, when it is ONE of the few things our federal govt is supposed to be doing, we had the germans flying awacs planes around the usa. If we have our troops in like 600 locations around the world and cannot even cover our own back yard, what up with that? I started wondering if they needed foreigners who would not hesitate as much to gun down citizens of this country. Also heard they were doing gps to everyone’s doorway because people from other countries are not necessarily good at following our address system but can follow gps coordinates. So what is up with that also??
I believe the military is selectively choosing those to promote to key positions those with an attitude which supports the state over individual freedoms. There is an interesting book titled

Truther,
Do you need a hug?
September 7th, 2009 at 2:30 am
what i see here is hate speech on both sides. now to investigate why so much vitriol is seen. obama is not the cause anymore than bush or the preceeding presidents were. they are only the vehicles it passed through. the cause here is the power behind the politicians. the IMF, bilderburgers, tri lateral commission, even our fed is part of these people . and who are the leaders that stand behind the smoke screen and push our governments buttons? well the paper trail ends at the Rothchilds the owners of the bank of england. trillions of dollars that even berneke said he had no control over. so you see we can accuse each other or we can use or intelligence to figure this one out.

Be a terrorist! If that is what they call us, embrace the title. Our founding fathers were terrorists, too. “Extremism in the defense of liberty is NO VICE!” Next weekend, 9/12, is the National Tea Party in Washington DC. I’m going! If you can make the time, bring the numbers! If you can’t, Go to one that is local to you. If there isn’t one, START ONE! Above all else, educate every soldier and law enforcement officer you know about the Oath-Keepers. Educate everyone you know about the Constitution AND the Federalist Papers. If you haven’t read the Federalist Papers they are available @ Constitution.org. Let the men who wrote the Constitution educate you about what they intended with the exact same letters they used to convince the citizens of the original 13 states to vote in favor of ratification. Most of all insist that your Representatives obey the Constitution or vote them out. We don’t need violence, just numbers and resolve.
