In 1954 a Satanist named Richard Matheson published a pulp fiction horror novel called I Am Legend. It was the prototype of the "post-Apocalyptic Zombie genre" of fiction. I actually read it as a boy.....my father bought a copy in 1955. It smelled of mildew. I never imagined that book was tied into the real future.
Twenty years ago Heinz Kissinger said in an address to the Bilderberger meeting at Evian, France (1992), "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government."
An article in Huffington Post September 17th 2012 said, "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is ready for a zombie apocalypse. Gun owners got prepared for a zombie apocalypse. Now, the military and law enforcement are getting ready. And next month, they'll begin training." [1]
During the spring and summer there was a national Zombie Apocalypse campaign that set up shooting range events calling out gun owners to prepare for shooting 'the Undead' human Zombies. (see sample event [2] )
The Huffington Post continues, "Security firm HALO Corp. announced yesterday that about 1,000 military personnel, police officials, medical experts and federal workers will learn the ins and outs of a zombie apocalypse, as part of an annual counter-terrorism summit , according to the Military Times."
Notice how all these futuristic drills are all privatized now.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and media present the Zombie angle as a clever way to raise public awareness to be prepared for ordinary "hurricanes, pandemics, and natural disasters". In the CDC's Preparedness 101 program, fictional zombies are used to drive home the message that Americans must be ready for any emergency
"The Zombie Apocalypse is very whimsical," Barker said, noting the setting is intended to add some levity to the more dire scenarios summit goers will encounter -- incidents depicting active shooters inside a hospital or downed pilots trapped behind enemy lines, for instance. The pandemic medical nightmare is bound to be an attention-getter among people attending the summit.
The following is from their website:
"Better Safe than Sorry" "So what do you need to do before zombies...or hurricanes or pandemics for example, actually happen? First of all, you should have an emergency kit in your house. This includes things like water, food, and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp." http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/
BUT -- since when has being prepared for a hurricane, tornadoes, or even the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic involved rifle practice to shoot human beings -- I mean "zombies"?
THE REST OF THE STORY
Another series of operations are being carried out by US Special Operations Command or 'SOCOM' for short has conducted 'urban warfare' training exercises in American cities and rural areas in broad daylight in Minneapolis and St. Louis this year. SOCOM combines all branches of the military. It is rumored to include foreign troops from Russia and China reported by witness of these domestic exercises. SOCOM "conducts several covert and clandestine missions, such as unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, psychological warfare, civil affairs, direct action, counter-terrorism and War on Drugs operations." [3]
This from the BLAZE August 28, 2012 : "Black Hawks Conducting Urban Training Exercise in Chicago and Minneapolis"
--quote--
Just as Chicagoans saw Black Hawk helicopters with "heavily armed men" hanging out of them in April this year and were told it was part of a routine training exercise, so to are the residents of Minneapolis being alerted to an upcoming urban training.
WCCO (via CBS Local) stated Monday that residents are not to be alarmed if they see a similar scene of low-flying military helicopters. It reported the U.S. Special Operations Command would be conducting exercises from now through the beginning of September.
--unquote--
(The closest thing to zombies in a real scenario would be sustained famine - on the order of Holomodor, left, and the Irish famines. Is this what they mean by zombies? Starvation victims stay on their feet for weeks. Cannibalism occurs in sustained famines of millions of people without food for weeks.)
Civilian videos show these military operations in broad daylight.. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/minneapolis-residents-catch-footage-of-black-hawks-conducting-urban-training-exercise/
Is this the "Big One"? Martial law coming?
I'm not one to cry "wolf" like Alex Jones has been doing for 15 years. But as I dig into research on this story, reports aren't coming in so good.
On the RAND CORPORATION website I found out about the existence of the "Stability Police Force" for the United States.
Stability from what? NWO takover?
They say,
"Security requires a mix of military and police forces to deal with a range of threats from insurgents to criminal organizations. This research examines the creation of a high-end police force, which the authors call a Stability Police Force (SPF)" [5]
Insurgents? In the United States?
"Urban warfare exercises" coordinating Special Forces, Black Ops, Psyops, and foreign personnel?
Obviously these are military drills involving suppressing the domestic civilian population. They think by dressing people up as zombies we'll just think it's a gag.
Pandemic or Sustained Famine? War?
I don't think it's about pandemics. The closest thing to zombies in a real scenario would be sustained famine - on the order of Holomodor and the Irish famines of the 19th and 18th centuries. There is precedence for this thing.
Military 'Zombie' exercises are cover for martial law drills.
What can we do?
Not much. I'd say stock up on water and dried beans, and "be prepared" to stay indoors for a few weeks, just in case.
Have a nice Halloween folks - and don't forget not to vote!

Israel’s Enforcer ~ by @StephenLendman
May 28, 2012

Source: Occupied Palestine
Israel enforces rogue state harshness. Rule of law principles are spurned. Even Jewish rights are marginalized. Palestinians have none.
Occupation ruthlessness terrorizes them. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad serve illegitimately.
Israel manipulated the process to elect Abbas and keep him in charge. Despite virtually no popular support, Fayyad was appointed.
Enforcing Israeli authority is policy. Abbas is a longtime collaborator. Duplicity defines his agenda. Israel and Washington know he’s reliable. They support him to serve their interests.
Abbas took credit as Oslo’s architect. Israel controlled the process. Sellout defined it. Israel got what it wanted. Palestinians were shut out. Abbas sold out. He agreed to unilateral surrender. So did Arafat.
In April, Al-Ahram contributor Hasan Afif El-Hasan headlined “Twenty lost years,” saying:
Post-Oslo, nothing changed. Israel’s military protects settlers and terrorizes Palestinians. PA security forces violate the rights of their own people “in accordance with guidelines and direct orders established by Israel.”
“The path the PA chose since Oslo has not led to Palestinian independence and it has weakened the Palestinian national movement.”
“The PA does not govern its own territory, and became for all intents and purposes the administrator of an Israeli protectorate while Israel carries on with ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem, colonising the West Bank and enforcing the criminal blockade on Gaza.”
Abbas and Fayyad replicate US-controlled puppet authority in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and elsewhere. PA security forces prevent and/or contain peaceful demonstrations.
During Cast Lead, anti-Israeli protests were prohibited. Abbas tried to prevent war crime investigations. He won’t permit another Intifada. He targets Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine supporters.
Historian Beshara Doumani recently visited the West Bank. He said PA crackdowns prevent Palestinians from expressing views freely. He called Nablus “a broken city.” Resistance is confronted and quashed.
Sociology Professor Khalil Nakhleh calls PA/Israeli cooperation frightening. Palestinian elites place their interests above collective ones.
PA leaders work cooperatively with a “Jewish-ethno-security regime.” They rule Palestine “from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean….” What chance have Palestinians when top officials representing them sell out to Israeli authority?
On May 10, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights reported (PCHR) Palestinian security forces broke up “the concluding colloquium of the Palestine Festival of Literature.”
Free expression and opinion were violated. So was the right to peacefully assemble. Palestinian law affirms rights too important to deny.
Arab poets and writers attended. Egyptian blogger ‘Amru ‘Izzat spoke about liberty. Security forces cut off electricity and told attendees to leave. Those refusing were confronted. Cameras were confiscated. Chaos resulted. Later, the colloquium resumed at al-Quds International Hotel.
In early May, PA security forces arrested dozens of journalists and activists voicing dissent. Al Haq director Shawan Jabarin said:
“There are many people I’m sure that are afraid and will count to ten before they say anything. Maybe they’ll push people to speak underground instead of expressing their opinions freely.”
“I think they’re using different words here and there, just to undermine these people in the eyes of the public and to say that they are creating trouble and creating divisions. It’s a political judgement more than (something) illegal.”
Palestinian Attorney General Ahmad al-Maghni hasn’t “protect(ed) the freedoms and the rights of the people in the face of arbitrary detention, instead of arresting people.”
“Here, we see him acting quickly” and irresponsibly. “(A)t the same time, he’s closing his ears and his eyes on the crimes going on.”
“He is not taking into his mind that the law that he is using was approved in 1960 and these days, we are in 2012 and the main principle now in all the world is freedom of expression.”
Jabarin referred to the long outdated 1960 Jordanian Penal Code.
An-Najah University student Hasan Abbadi was jailed for days and fined for “creating disunity.” Others were targeted for Facebook and other social network comments.
Abbas ruthlessly targets truth. Criticizing PA authority isn’t tolerated. Web sites were blocked. Al Mughani ordered them shut. Internet freedom’s threatened. So are peaceful assembly and other rights.
Palestinians should ask who’s side are they on? It’s simple knowing and should mobilize them to react. Otherwise, current policies will continue and worsen.
Palestinian Security Forces Trained to Serve Israel
From 2005 until he retired in October 2010, Lt. General Keith Dayton served as US Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority head (USSC). Lt. General Michael Moeller replaced him. He reports directly to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The State Department says he “directs all facets of U.S. security sector assistance to the Palestinian Authority and synchronizes international supporting efforts.”
It’s part of Washington’s pro-Israel/anti-Palestinian agenda. USSC created, built, trains and funds a 25,000-strong PA force. Hundreds of millions are spent. At issue is Institutionalizing hard-line control. Israel’s own security operations are supplemented.
Dayton built and renovated garrisons, training colleges, Interior Ministry facilities, and security headquarters. In January 2010, a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report addressed “US Security Assistance to the Palestinian Authority,” saying:
In late 2004, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Abbas created the USSC for “civil security and counterterrorism purposes.”
Palestinian recruits train at Jordan’s International Police Training Center (JIPCA) near Amman. Instruction includes crowd control, confronting “terrorist networks,” and consolidating “competent, defactionalized civilian control” over the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Hamas controls besieged Gaza. Perhaps Israel plans another war to change things.
At issue is maintaining militarized occupation control, confronting challenges to Israeli authority, serving imperial Washington, and denying Palestinians freedom and control over their own lives.
PA security forces assist Israeli harshness. Five PA security organizations operate: the National Security Forces (including military intelligence), Palestinian Civil Police, Preventive Security Organization, Presidential Guard, and General Intelligence Service.
Together they comprise the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF). The PA interior minister controls them. He’s beholden to Israel. So are Abbas and Fayyad. Palestinians lose out. They have two enemies – Israel and their own West Bank government.
USSC is a multinational organization comprised of military officers and civilian personnel. Its core staff numbers about 45, including Americans, Canadians, Brits, and Turks. Operations are based in Jerusalem and Ramallah.
US private military contractors (PMCs), including DynCorp., are involved. So are around two dozen US and foreign law enforcement and security training specialists, as well as seven US and foreign technical advisors with expertise in security and Middle East affairs, strategic planning and organizational development, contracts and grants, procurement, logistics, and finance.
At issue is enforcing occupation harshness, denying Palestinian self-determination, and eliminating challenges to Israeli control. Palestinian security forces target their own people. Abbas and Fayyad collaborate for whatever benefits they derive.
Israel has final say on policy. Washington’s a reliable partner. Palestinians are left out and exploited. They’re on their own against two rogue states denying their legitimate rights. Liberation depends on restoring them.
