National Guard Takes Over School In Swine Flu "Vaccine
Riot" Drill
Troops to play the role of panic stricken citizens pleading
for inoculations

A High School in Maine is to be taken over by the National Guard
today for the purposes of a drill that will see Guardsmen deal
with unruly citizens begging for swine flu vaccines.
Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in Paris,
ME, has been chosen as a distribution site for the H1N1 flu
vaccine by state officials.
Today's drill will enact a riot scenario after
Gov. John Baldacci and Gen. John Libby, adjutant general of
the Maine National Guard, agreed that measures should be in
place to deal with a possible public rush for inoculations against
swine flu.
"On Thursday morning, four or five National
Guard Humvees will travel from Augusta to Paris with vials of
fake serum." reports the Maine
Sun Journal.
"The National Guardsmen will take on the
roles of panicked citizens and military police and practice
what they would do, such as using tear gas, in the case of a
riot." The article continues.
Local police will also liaise with the National Guard on the
school grounds. The school itself will remain open, according
to the report.
Center for Disease Control figures state that there are 323
confirmed cases of H1N1 in Maine. One man has died from the
disease, though he was said to have "underlying health
conditions" that were worsened by the flu.
This story dovetails with reports from late July
indicating that the
U.S. military is gearing up to get involved in the H1N1 swine
flu outbreak promised to strike in the Fall.
“The U.S. military wants to establish regional
teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in
the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall,
according to Defense Department officials,” a proposal
that is currently on the desk of Defense Secretary Robert Gates,
according to a CNN report.
The report indicates that the troops could be
drawn from either active duty forces or the National Guard and
Reserve forces, or both.
“As a first step, Gates is being asked to
sign a so-called ‘execution order’ that would authorize
the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute
the proposed plan.” the report states.
Gates' overtures to usurp control of the Guard
in a national emergency, and even to eventually merge
the Guard and the Army Reserves into the “Total Force”
of the U.S. military, under management of the DoD, has riled
state authorities.
Last week The
National Governors Association wrote to the Pentagon
condemning the military’s open plans to effectively seize
domestic control of National Guard and federal forces deployed
in the event of a disaster or terrorist attack.
The NGA noted that the military's agenda amounted
to a dilution of governors’ constitutional responsibilities.
In addition to these ongoing proposals, the Pentagon
has announced that at least 20,000
more active duty soldiers will be placed inside
the United States under Northcom to “help state and local
officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic
catastrophe.”
According to Northcom itself, the move also encompasses
“civil
unrest and crowd control”.
The ACLU has warned that the deployment represents
an expansion in presidential and military authority and a militarization
of homeland security.
This trend hasn't gone unnoticed on Capitol Hill either.
Georgia
Congressman Paul Broun warned attendees of a town
hall event Tuesday that the Obama administration is planning
to use a pandemic or a natural disaster to implement martial
law in the United States, in the wake of increased political
unrest and plunging approval ratings.

The use of the National Guard for law enforcement
duties and confrontation of the American people is becoming
increasingly commonplace throughout the US.
National Guard troops were used to control the
public during the Boston Marathon, the Kentucky Derby, and during
New Year celebrations in Times Square last year.
As we reported
last week, the sheriff of Alabama’s most
populous county has announced he will probably have to bring
in National Guard troops to perform law enforcement duties due
to budget cuts.
Such a move has been replicated in other parts
of the country, including in Schenectady
New York, where budgetary constraints were not
even cited as a reason for the changeover.
Back in April of this year, The
Maryland National Guard was put on alert under
an anti-terrorism program in anticipation of nationwide Tea
Party protests. A "Force Protection advisory" document
stated that Guardsmen and Guard facilities might become “targets
of opportunity.”
One month earlier in March, the United States
Army Reserve Command published a Force
Protection Advisory recommending “situational
awareness” and “mitigation measures” in response
to End the Fed protests.
Other National Guard outfits have recently undergone
training to engage
in combat with “militia” groups, and
held door to door gun
confiscation drills.
Meanwhile, the Army National Guard is advertising
for qualified personnel to work as Corrections
Officers and Internment/Resettlement Specialists.
The use of military assets in civilian law enforcement is still
illegal under Posse
Comitatus, unless a clear state of emergency exists.
