Portland to Host Terrorism Drill “NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2” Aug. 20 to

24

Oregon Truth

Alliance

Sunday Aug 19, 2007

This is an urgent advisory notice from concerned citizens of Oregon and

Washington about an upcoming U.S. Joint Forces Command emergency

management exercise known as NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 that will simulate

terrorism or disaster scenarios in the Lower Columbia River Basin between

Aug. 20th and Aug 24th, 2007.

NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 was designed and will be directed by U.S. Joint Forces

Command (USJFCOM) and the Department of Homeland Security. We are aware

of no public notice concerning this exercise, but preliminary

investigation has revealed that Oregon National Guard officials and

federal officials will conduct the drill. Details from official sources

are minimal.

 

This advisory is to document our concerns, raise public awareness and

urge citizen action based on the following facts:

1. NOBLE RESOLVE is a computer-based simulation of a large-scale

emergency situation (e.g. earthquake, hurricane, tsunami, or terrorist

attack with nuclear weapon) in order to train for managing all aspects of

the emergency response through comprehensive software.

2. Military exercises such as NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 have a recent history of

coinciding with lethal “live” events. This occurred both at the start of

Desert Storm in 1990 and on 9/11/01 when five or more major military or

security exercises were in progress on the very day of the actual

attacks. The same phenomenon occurred with the London Bombings of 7/7/05

during which a drill concerning multiple bomb attacks was being staged on

that day.

3. Vice President Cheney, Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff and

former Senator Rick Santorum have all warned of a new 9/11 attack this

summer, but are giving no evidence in support. Chertoff based his

prediction on a “gut feeling”.

4. The May 2007 Presidential Directive NSPD 51 (HSPD 20) addressing

“continuity of government” in the event of a massive emergency, includes

secret " annexes " which are pertinent additional documents. Some

US Congressional Committee on Homeland Security members such as Rep.

Peter DeFazio have written to formally request permission to review these

secret " annexes " and have twice been denied access by the White

House.

5. This particular exercise, NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2, includes one scenario

involving an unaccounted for, " loose, " ten kiloton nuclear

weapon, exactly as Vice President Cheney hinted in recent interviews.

Department of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff claims he fears

the same.

6. The plummeting support for the GOP has triggered comments from its

members and analyses of its current political strategy that point to a

new 9/11 attack as a contributing factor to GOP political salvation.

Moreover, it appears that legends or back stories are being disseminated

to support just such an event.

Transparency concerning NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 is vital for the public safety

of everyone in the Lower Columbia River Basin. We call on the planners,

directors and participants in NOBLE RESOLVE 07-2 to be vigilant and to

maintain transparency with respect to these military exercises. We also

urge citizens and our elected officials to monitor the activities of

participants connected with the exercises and alert authorities to any

suspicious behavior. These exercises have an established pattern of

becoming “live” events. (Please read references below.) We recommend

that officials of the Ports of Astoria, Longview, Vancouver and Portland

on the Lower Columbia River take extra care in their monitoring and

examination of all shipping on the Lower Columbia River while NOBLE

RESOLVE 07-2 is in progress. Finally, we urge all concerned to voice that

concern in letters and calls to elected officials and civil servants

requesting full transparency and citizen oversight.
