COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio National Guard’s Joint Task Force 73 will conduct a Fully Operational Capability exercise, Aug. 11-15, at Owens Community College’s Center for Emergency Preparedness in Perrysburg Township to test its ability to support local and state civilian authorities during a Homeland Defense/Homeland Security event.
This FOC exercise is based on a scenario of a natural disaster striking the Toledo area. It will test the task force’s ability to command and control its units and their ability to alert, assemble, deploy and operate in support of civil authorities, such as incident commanders and the Ohio State Emergency Management Agency.
The exercise will involve more than 300 Ohio National Guard personnel as well as local first responders and role players. Units participating in the exercise are based in Columbus, Kettering, Middletown, Chillicothe and Toledo.
“This exercise ensures the Ohio National Guard is prepared to deploy ready units to accomplish federal, state and community missions and, in conjunction with other local, state, and federal agencies, facilitate a seamless, effective response to any incident,” said Maj. Gen Greg Wayt, Ohio’s adjutant general.
The Ohio National Guard has available a number of units capable of providing equipment and personnel in the event of an emergency, including the Joint Task Force 73, which comprises several Ohio Army and Air Guard personnel from across the state, including the 52d Civil Support Team, the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package, and National Guard Reaction Force/Quick Reaction Force within its task organization. These units are ready to deploy on a moment’s notice with specialized Homeland Defense/Homeland Security capabilities in terms of communications, CBRNE response and security.
“The JTF73 as a headquarters provides the citizens of Ohio with an all-hazard military response,” said the task force commander Brig. Gen Jack Lee. “Establishing and demonstrating Full Operational Capability assures our adjutant general that we have the baseline skills to effectively manage our units in an emergency. It is all about preparedness and our mission is to be prepared for a no-notice, any-time, any-where response.”

Why worry about natural disasters in Ohio? What about the Gulf Coast where the hurricanes are? Maybe there is some other reason? Strike at the heartland?
August 4th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
I don’t necessarily have a problem with this until they turn it into another episode like what happened in Colorado. They’re just training for a situation.
Now I hope we don’t get into that situation, but if George Bush decides to attack us again we might.

wow could this be the thing that Alex has been talking about Ohio being one of the tragets? I know up in that area there is a power planet if im not wrong. I might have to go up there and video tape this and hand out some DVDs.
August 4th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
The Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts are much more susceptible to natural disasters and are much much more populated. With the recent hurricanes and the earthquake we need to be preparing for a natural disaster is one of the places i just said, not the heartland of America where we have unpredictable tornadoes sporadically popping up. Some of which don’t kill or even damage personal property. This exercise is an obvious attempt at preparing the National Guard for martial law, not a natural disaster.

What I find interesting is how the Ohio soldiers have been used as cannon fodder for Iraq and they still want to fight for these NWO idiots. Man I am so glad I own guns.
August 4th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Well, one city on the hit list is Cleveland.
August 4th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Yes, there is a nuclear power plant, Davis Besse. That’s not Toledo, though. That’s between Oak Harbor and Port Clinton. Anybody heading to Cedar Point or to Cleveland, drives right by it. Also out there is Camp Perry. Where, within the past few years had been rebuilt, rewired, heating systems, etc. put in there. At least the barbed wire faces outward on the fences. I do know that the local police out here have plans in place for a “red alert,” or martial law. However the police officer I was questioning about this, said that he does not know where the facility in our area is to take everyone. He guessed the local high school gymnasium. Just some interesting stuff. Definately posting this article on Myspace.

“Camp Perry – Site renovated; once used as a POW camp to house German and Italian prisoners of WWII. Some tar paper covered huts built for housing these prisoners are still standing. Recently, the construction of multiple 200-man barracks have replaced most of the huts.”
Taken from http://www.mindfully.org which is a site that posts locations of FEMA concentration camps…
same location as above exercises…what a coincidence.
August 4th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Well, you have to logisticise beyond that. Cleveland, toledo, Gary, Chicago all are on the same road, same rail lines and all have access to ports. If Chicago were to get hit first,let’s say, in a ‘false-flag’ or otherwise the people that would be trying to get out of the cities have but only a few directions that they could retreat towards. Since airtravel would be obsolete the roads and rail are what is left. Gary, IN is still too close to chicago to stop at and consider yourself safe. So, you head East a little more and you’ll hit toledo. Toledo is pretty much the midway rendezvous point for retreating civilians and deploying ‘homeland’ forces. If Cleveland were to go down, people would head west along Erie and wind up in Toledo, et cetera. However, retreat tactics are what is to be implied, but here is what really is going down: Toledo is a major cross road in all 4 cardinal directions. It has rail yards to accomodate heavy equipment being railheaded in. and is a staging area if a metropolitan occurance were to happen, Toledo will be ready. The I-75 corridor runs North/South right through Toledo leaving it completely accessible for Big Brother. Keep in mind that interstates that you drive on are part of the Eisenhower Interstate System. Eik was a globalist.

Why are all these “exercises” taking place in the mid-west? Take a look at the map of the “NAFTA Super Highway” for a clue…notice it goes right through the current areas of operation? Notice there are no spurs to the coasts? The “powers that be” are planning on the coastal cities to be nuked by Russia…America will be gone in a short nuclear war which will bring on the world wide chaos necessary to install the NWO government. After that America will be just another 3rd world colony of the European elites of the NWO with a reduced population and just enough leftovers to produce weapons for the “World Army” that will spread peace throughout the world..

Since so many people want to know what to do, when is the gunfighting going to start, or just claim what they would do if such and such a situation ever happened to them or one of their own, maybe all those capable should find out where Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Jessie Ventura, and many of the other patriots who Alex has interviewed are and follow them around all day long giving them body guard services.
Now, obviously the enemy will eventually start something that will start a shoot out, but the defense will obviously be a glorious one that will go down in history as the first shot of the real revolution, the day when the battle cry started from the masses, not just the few. The enemy of course has the high tech weapondry and the tanks and aircraft, but it will be an organized effort on the part of the ones who are serious and capable of doing something for the first time as the question constantly arises about everyone organizing somehow to do something useful for the cause of stopping this police state we are now in.
Ones like Alex, Dr. Paul, and Jessie Ventura are alone in a sense. They are lone wolves. They are loners. They are the ones who are presently out on the front line. So why not start an organized effort yourselves to be with those loners on the front line while you can? Go help those on the front line already, bodily help that is, not just writing here or buying some of their books. Physically they have no protection, even if they have private body guards. Those who are capable of doing what I just suggested now become publically involved and the front liners are the ones who need it most giving them the backing they need for their very lives that they do not have presently. I am sure that someone here can now expand on this to make it work. Yes?

The government is preparing for civil war. The Constitution has been abandoned. The North American Union is scheduled to go into effect in 2010. The internet has informed millions and created a new source of news. The Jennie is out of the bottle, our money is worthless. We spend billions on foreign aid while our schools are crumbling. We are policing other countries while our borders are unprotected. The government is funding American corporations to move offshore while our unemployment rises, and wages are lowered. The American citizen is the terrorist, the government is afraid of us. Homeland Security is Marshall Law. The government is putting controls in place now for the coming storm. Homeland Security has federalized local police and the State National Guard. The government needed 9/11 to put these controls in place. Through out history our government has used tragic events to alter the Constitution, Civil War, USS Maine, Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11, etc.

LOOK OUT becase thier is ALLSO a massive training opp going on at the Idaho Orchard Training Area . I drove out there a week ago and it looked like 50 fairs going up with all the BIG TOP tents and things called COLD TOWERS(looks like BIG pipes about 8 feet tall that are stacked with a second on top) allso mock towns set up EVERY where with check point training runs and from what little info can get its for marine joint trianing with state gov (some one have ALEX contact me becase this is BIG)
August 5th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Oh s---,this is going down 3 miles from my home,I think me and a couple of people will go to Owens and check it out when they do this.They have a National Guard right off 795 Hwy,they also have some land the Homeland Security bought down the road from the N.G.They plan on building something there.(Something Wicked This Way Comes). Anything happens will keep you peoples posted.Maybe I will protest,who knows.Benjamin #23 is right,remember Kent State,if they were able to get away with it then,you know what we have to look forward to.That song Ohio from C.S.N.Y is one of my all time favorite songs.
August 5th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Allso a friend of mine owns a catering biz and was contacted lait last week by the gov wanting to hire them with a $100,000.oo contract (she said there is no way that her outfit could provide what they wanted) The spooky thing about all of this is that NO ONE will give a strait answer to just whats going on even guys I know in the Guard are clueless. With all the training opps going on all at once SOMTHING BIG is being prepared for(WHAT IS THE BIG ????) Iicall my state reps and they made small light of it and said that it was some minimum joint traing with US MARINES.
Well it looks like DIV training witch is no small task and is costing millions of $$ just to set it up.
This is MUCH BIGGER THAT THE ONE IN OHIO
W.T.F#%* IS GOING ON ??????????????????

@ #32
A friend of mine from Idaho who is a researcher ( channellingreality.com ) wrote this to me yesterday:
Mountain Home is the location of an Air Force base in Idaho. A real estate advertisement was just found advertising apartments and other buildings for sale. One of the selling points is that the Air Force had just signed a contract for 1,000 personnel with the government of Singapore. See the ad below.
Naturally, I went to the Air Force website to see if I could find any information about an Air Force contract with Singapore pertaining to Mountain Home Air Force Base.
I found one and the timing is just about right for the real estate ad. I called my Senator and House members to see what I could find out. They said they’d call me back and Senator Crapo’s office just did. The Aide confirmed that Mountain Home Air Force base will be a training location for the Singapore military. According to her, Singapore has no airspace in which to train so they have contracted with Australia and the U.S. The obvious question is – if you can’t train your military over your own airspace, then you can’t fly your aircraft anyway. So what’s the real story?
And all of this is supposed to be a good thing according to Crapo’s Aide because Singapore is going to pay for the whole thing. The message is that everything in America is for sale… America has no enemies – only customers they’ve yet to make a deal with and no price is too high for that deal.
Mountain Home may help train Singapore Airmen

On the other hand, the black woman should not have dealing drugs – a crime. Was she resisting arrest? You neglected to mention that part.
August 5th, 2008 at 10:45 am
I’m in ohio… And all I can say is they better be practicing if they think they can take my guns, cuz they’ll have their hands full.
August 5th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Christine Fitch. If you go and check out the operations, keep an eye out to see if they will be doing any type of gun confiscation maneuvers like they did in New Orleans! I’m still freaked out about what they did down there, taking guns away from even homes that weren’t affected by the hurricane. That’s complete bulls---. They know who were the punks and gang members that were causing all the trouble and looting and shooting. People absolutely must resist having their guns taken! We have a right to protect ourselves, especially in the event of a natural disaster where crooks take advantage of the situation in order to rob hard working people. These punks are parasites who need to be killed, just like all the gang members, especially the illegal alien gang members like ms 13. There is absolutely nothing that can be done with these cockroaches, except to simply kill them. They deserve no rights as we do! They’ve shown they can’t exercise their rights in a responsible manner, therefore they deserve none! These are the only people in this country who should be disarmed.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:39 am
You got it right, Rebel. By the way, nice name.
If anyone cares to closely look, you can see how the game has been run on us step by step. When the players are confronted by warriors like WeAreChange, they don’t even really try to deny.
The CIA has been developing mind control for a very long time now, and I guess they have it down to a science. You know TV is a huge tool of theirs. Pretty successful too; just look at all the sleeping people around us.
Yep, something big is happening. We The People have not been designated as terrorists by accident. It isn’t just a rumor that detention camps are going up all over the place. Anyone who connects the dots will get the picture.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:42 am
dshaw, the NWO feels exactly the same about you as you do about some poor immigrants trying to survive. Now won’t you feel silly when the NWO stormtroopers crush you and your near and dear like “cock-roaches”. Ignorance like that and a feeling of superiority are how we got in this f---ing mess. Don’t you get it?!?!
August 5th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Hay CraigerX #40, He was talking about gang bangers, not poor Immigrants!!! Can’t you f---ing read? Your the one who does’nt f---ing get it!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL ALL OF US HOW WE GOT IN THIS MESS, BEING’S YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
When I see comments like that of of Craiger X, I am cast into deep despair.
Although true that the elite look upon all those not of their class with contempt and disgust as, perhaps, some amongst us might look upon those less fortunate, dshaw was not refering to the less fortunate only, but to those who have turned to crime and have abandoned all regard for human life and decency for which the law itself prescribes severe punishment.
We owe it to ourselves and our posterity the quality of life and standard of living to which we are heir, while at the same time reaching out to those less fortunate whever they may be.
But what we cannot do is open our doors to the world without suffering the inevitable repercussions, not the least of which would be a catastrophic dimunition of our way of life.
And none bellow more in protestation than the bleeding heart, who, only after having put into action his or her grave error, born as it were of too little consideration and even less so of experience as to the hard realities of this world, and find themselves suffering even more gravely than those for whom their hearts bled!!
August 5th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Rebel pretty well nailed it! The big take-over can’t be far away and the informed resistance is ready to rock and roll taking no prisoners.
Anyone who participates in the take-over is a legitimate target. I would even go so far as to say those who do not resist are also bullseye material.
From all indications, we are about to enter into the third phase of Washington’s Vision!!
“…..you can take our lives, but you can not take our FREEDOM!!!”
August 5th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Gunslinger and Debamboozler! Thanks alot for getting my back in order to clear up the misunderstandings of some such as Craiger X. All of the open borders, amnesty advocates always do this! This is a tactic, how they try to portray resonsible Americans as racists, by lumping legal immigrants and illegal aliens, along with gang bangers together, so when the gang members are condemned, they twist it to sound as if we’re condemning hard working immigrants as well. And this joker wants to portray me as being a cause for the divisions between communities? Unbelievable. Look, I grew up poor myself, even ran in to a little trouble with the law, but that was a phase when I was younger. These illegal alien gang members are murdering, raping, robbing, and committing a whole host of other crimes against American citizens of all ethnic backgrounds. You got that Craiger X you MORON!? By the way, I have BLACKFOOT NATIVE AMERICAN BLOOD, you FOOL! That gives me the right to say whatever I want in the LAND OF THE FREE! Wake up and get a grip! Illegal aliens bring disrespect and tragedy in all forms to American society, and just because you haven’t yet become a victim of this, doesn’t mean it’s not true. You too will change your tune, the day you become the victim of illegal alien crime. Why don’t you contact the widow in San Francisco who just lost her husband and 2 sons to an illegal alien cockroach gang member who should have been deported or simply killed a long time ago?? Huh? Cause you’re a traitor to this country! Deport yourself along with your illegal alien gang member buddies ya dumbass! BUILD A WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 5th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

What you should be concerned with is the aquisition of a military branch by DHS – US Coast Guard.
The USCG patrols all of our coasts, major and some minor lakes, and inland water ways. This, along with the Border Patrol gives the DHS a military presence throughout the US.
