Ohio National Guard Public Affairs Office
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.”

Kent State aside, I suppose if you are going to a death camp, it is best to get a ride from local police. You can talk about the old day along the way.

I like your idea Amerikan Holokaust.
Make sure you don’t have warrants or carry anything that looks like a bomb.
I have compiled a list of objects I have seen them call possible bombs or terrorist objects.
This is unofficial List:
Cigs, Cameras, Shirts, bags, Citizens documenting their errors, anti-war protesters, once country hero mom’s now terrorist supporters, Alex Jones and everyone who is trying to save this country.
Do like Paris Hilton and have fun with them. Go as DRAG QUEEN and ask for a body cavity search.
Have your friends film it for fun and humor too.
After all it is an exercise and they need the experience.
Achtung!!!Are YOU a Terrorist?? STOP at roadblock ahead!!!

Infowars is a fraud. Their charging $29.95 for Endgame. These people are making a great profit of us. Their always blocking my comments, preventing me from mentioning the Non-Aligned Movement which they totally ignore. Infiltrated.

Hey #5 Revolution
Not only is your spelling and grammar not so good, neither is your math! Your disinformation campaign is horrible!
First of all, ENDGAME is only $19.95 by itself and you can get it cheaper if you buy it bundled with another film or book. Name another film producer would tell you to buy his movie and make as many copies as you want in order to spread the word? I do not hear Steven Spielberg telling you to burn as many copies of Star Wars.
August 8th, 2008 at 12:34 am
(to revolution below) duh there gonna charge money for thier stuff and they also encourage u to burn it and spread it for free as much as you can…you can watch endgame in youtube in google in share files so on and so on!..do u think its free for them to be on the air?…thats just total B.S come with facts instead of BS crap!!!….oh yeah my 12 dollor 9-11 was an inside job shirt fits GREAT!…thanks Alex!!!!!

“Revolution”– you are truly pathetic: if you don’t like the price of something offered, then don’t buy it!
I wonder who invented this phony sounding “Homeland” terminology??? It has a Hitlerian ring to my ears.
These exercises ought to serve as an ominous warning of coming FEMA tyranny.

Yes they are preparing their martial law takeover and drills are very necessary!! But what they should be doing is getting their military ready to fight the invading Chinese and Russian armies that will be invading America in the next 3 to 5 years!! BUT THEY ARE SO BUSY PREPARING THEIR BEAST CHIP ENFORCEMENT that they are not watching out for what is important!! THEIR FAMILIES WHOM THEY THINK WILL BE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF!!

I guess it’s time for a road trip up to Toledo. I suggest anyone who has time or lives in the Toledo area grab your video cameras and shoot as much footage as possible and post it on the web. As we all know here in the Buckeye state the media will put a spin on the story, cover it up and bury the lead!
I also live in Columbus and have noticed the increase of the Ohiopandemicflu.gov commercials and I don’t watch a lot of television. I’m sure the commercials are being played all over the state, but keep in mind we are also the home of Battelle here on the west side of Columbus. For those who don’t know Battelle works with chemical, biological and radiological technology. Look it up!!!
And, I agree with bulletmagnet. We should protest and let Governor Ted Strickland know what we think about these “exercises,” but I’m sure the puppet will overlook our complaints. That is why I suggest that we the people go and get film footage of this “exercise” and any form of tyranny here in the Buckeye state to wake up our neighbors.
I am tired of sitting on my can and doing nothing while my country slips into tyranny! I hope other listeners of Alex who live here in Columbus feel the same way. Let’s get together and do something! I know of a hunt, camp, fish store on the west side that has a little back room they call the lodge. We can sign up to meet in the lodge for free. If anyone is interested let me know. I am going to start a blog site on the infowars network so you can contact me. If another group already exists please let me know.

I’ve been seeing several flu commercials here in Florida as well. On top of that I’ve been seeing an increase in vaccination commercials for other random viruses I‘ve never even heard of. I’ll look around for some links and post them later.
August 8th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Here is a youtube link for the flu commercial that has been running in Ohio.

Olympic, wars, lindsay lohan and glen beck. The sheep watch intently as the machine rolls in to dismantle this great country. Fox News praising such events as in Ohio.
It is too late, the mindless drone sheeple will help in reporting anyone of us who shine light on the common sense truth. It is fascism come to rear it’s head in the last vestige of freedom, the final blow to the non religious world as it deserves. Laugh at God, and you lose His intersession.
The proof is in the pudding and we knew this was going to happen, He told us it would.
They can have my body…my soul belongs to God.

I noticed while travelling through the Buckeye state recently those well-placed flu shot commercials. What can one expect from a battleground state that stole the elections and subsequently brought this regime to power?
August 9th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Ohio is an amazing state indeed. Some of the most caring, intelligent people mixed with the most sociopathic morons I have ever met. I lived there for two years. A love-hate relationship to be sure. If a civil war ever breaks out it will probable start there. Just MHO.

This is a suburb of Toledo…Marty Finkbiener the mayor of Toledo proper shot down a marine exercise last year!!! But I as a vet also participated in “Mass casualty Exercises” in the 80’s at Ft. Knox, Ky. as well as Ft Campbell in the 90’s!!! What it is is the study of public reaction to troops being around and the sense of helplessness at the hand of your own military and paramilitary forces rounding us up!!! I’ve guarded EPW’S and they were well aware of a sense of comfort and fear!!! And it has happened here people!!! McCarthyism ring any bells???
August 9th, 2008 at 1:08 am
#21 & #22: Lived here most of my life save military service and I would have to agree with both of you!!! #21: Flu shots indeed!!! #22: Ohio has some nasty pockets…not gonna’ lie but, depends where you live…Dublin is good mind you…Mansfield,Dayton,Akron…once strong are now sold out and we have some asshole that wants to put a bill forth to let BIG OIL drill for OIL in Lake Erie…YES THAT’S RIGHT Lake Erie!!! f--- THAT!!! I lived north of rt.6 in Bay Village as a kid and I’ll tell you what, it might get cold but it is one nice place live!!! IF you can afford it.

What does NO PLANEs on 9-11 really mean? What are the implications? And would it explain the violent reaction to never investigate it from so many? Here are just a few samples of what NO PLANES on 9-11 means:
•It would mean Larry Silverstein committed the largest insurance fraud in world history
•It would mean Bush lied about watching the first plane go into WTC 1
•It would mean hundreds of staged “terrorist drill participants” on the morning of 911 also lied. They were involved with a program called Able Danger in NYC on the very morning of 911.
•It would mean all government and military authorities at the Pentagon lied about identifying the remains of the passengers through DNA testing
•It would mean the “news” media and the hundreds of witnesses that were directly connected to the media companies themselves all lied about what they saw. (Watch “September Clues” to get a sample at the vast number of “media witnesses” that were the only ones interviewed on 911
•It would mean that Rupert Murdoch and his video feed to the world on every channel was a staged, conspired, and complicit lie to kill 1000’s of people
•It would call into question all leading media personnel who have refused to even allow ANY discussion of this topic such as Amy Goodman of NPR, Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, Noam Chomsky, Tom Hartman…..add more of your own names. These people covered it up and allowed no dissention or discussion. They must be considered perpetrators.
•It would mean the Bush hand selected committee of 911 Commission is and would have been a complete farce (many already know this just based on results)
•It would expose the “remote controlled plane theory” as a rabbit hole. What this theory does is even if you are unsure that remotes may have been used…you are forced into accepting that there are planes to control in the first place.
•THERE WERE NO HIGHJACKERS. That means everyone in government, law enforcement, military, FBI, CIA, White House, media ALL lied and conspired to pass blame to people who never existed. This explains why 8 of the 19 are still alive and why none of them were on any passenger list or have ever been identified with DNA
•It would mean workers in Shanksville, at ground zero, and the Pentagon all planted evidence at a crime scene
•ALL of the “amateur footage” that was taken on the morning of 911 was doctored and fraudulent. The people that have reported and given as evidence their false video must be prosecuted. ALL of the amateur video was turned into authorities days after 911 giving plenty of time for the forgeries (some not very good and horribly inconsistent with each other)
•It means that millions of civilians and untold thousands of soldiers have been killed and slaughtered based on a known and conspired crime. War on Terror was a lie. ALL of it.
•Just the mere mention that there were no planes on 911 will have you banned from “truth groups” and deleted from even the most liberal of website forums. There are Trillions of dollars at stake should the public realize that no planes existed on 911.
•ALL the witnesses from USA Today at the Pentagon lied about the planes. They must be tried for treason.
•If this was a “New Pearl Harbor” we must go back a review everything regarding the fact that Pearl Harbor itself was a staged and conspired and fraudulent event. Is there any evidence to support the government claims of Pearl Harbor? Any Japanese planes shot down? Any testing of the ships for man-made explosives allowed?
•It also forces you to go back and see if this was planned since Bush took office and also the evidence that Bush fixed the elections in 2000 and 2004 to bring about this crime. His Presidency in the future could easily become “null and void”. His could be the first Presidency that the US could say never really happened because of all the known lies, cheating, fraud, conspiracy, crimes, and election rigging.
•“Authorities” and criminals within government have always said there was NO controlled demolition because it was the “planes” that brought the towers down. No planes means that of course the WTC’s 1, 2, and 7 were brought down with controlled demolitions and it implicates dozens of government agencies like NIST, FEMA, NTSB that all lied about the results, tests, and testimonies.
•No planes also forces you to look VERY CLOSELY at the passenger lists of the 4 planes reported missing on 911. Did any of them have close ties to banking, military, law or law enforcement, media, government, devout Christianity, or insurance…….basically the groups that profited the most from 911? (97% of all the passengers on all 4 planes have direct ties to these groups of perpetrators! Look for yourself)
* It would also mean that Osama Bin Laden had NOTHING to do with 911 just like he said one week after 911. Terrorists take pride in killing so effectively and despise being given credit for something they had nothing to do with. Bin Laden despised it.
What else does NO PLANES on 911 mean and what else does it explain?
