National Guard drill at high school to prepare for possible H1N1 riot
By Leslie H. Dixon, Staff Writer
Published: Aug 13, 2009

PARIS — Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School will be the site of a National Guard riot control drill Thursday morning to prepare in the event of a panic over distribution of serum to treat the swine flu.

The school on Route 26 at the Paris-Norway town line has been designated by state officials as a distribution site for the H1N1 flu vaccine. The drill is to prepare for a worst-case scenario should the serum have to be transported from Augusta and people rush to get it.

On Thursday morning, four or five National Guard Humvees will travel from Augusta to Paris with vials of fake serum. 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.

"This is just a component of moving the stuff from point A to B," said Oxford County Emergency Management Agency Director Scott Parker. The plan will be put into place only if needed, he said.

Plans were developed in April to have vials of serum sent from the federal government to Augusta, Parker said. From Augusta, the supplies will be transported to designated distribution centers.

During the April conference, concerns were raised about a possible out-of-control rush on the serum, Parker said. Because of that concern, Gov. John Baldacci and Gen. John Libby, adjutant general of the Maine National Guard, agreed that a plan should be devised to quell such a disturbance.

Local police chiefs have also been involved in the planning, Parker said. In a real event, local police would be in charge of security once the serum arrives in Paris. "We own it. We're in charge of providing security," he said.

As of Aug. 5, the Maine Center for Disease Control said there had been 323 confirmed cases of H1N1 in Maine, of which 176 are Maine residents and the rest out-of-staters diagnosed in Maine. A total of 19 people required hospitalization. Sixty percent of the victims were under the age of 25.

On Tuesday, health authorities reported Maine's first death from the H1N1 virus. Dr. Dora Anne Mills, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control, said a York County man in his 50s was hospitalized for three weeks and died last week of underlying conditions complicated by H1N1.

The drill will take place behind the school and will not affect the day-to-day activities within the school. Access to the school building will be available through the main entrance, Parker said.

I’ve been warning people about this for months. My close friends and family members are with me...

The folks at work shrug me off as some sort of alarmist.

I respect their personal opinions. And then reassure them that I’ll take their food...last.

Well with all the mass graves on you tube that are being dug in the Arizona at the Military Cemetery there and in Houston and I believe some in Pennsylvania plus all of this training for swine flu pandemics, it certainly is drawing a lot of attention to the swine flu and away from what else is going on in D.C. and global politics. I do not know if the numbers of people dying in the U.S. have reached alarming numbers or even the amount of people world wide who have died from the swine flu have reached alarming numbers. I have 3 doctors in my family who are pretty knowledgeable. I guess I will call them tomorrow and get the scoop.

This riot training is for a scenario where people are so desperate to be given the vaccine, that riots break out among people rushing to make sure they are among the first vaccinated.

It seems some people might riot to get the vaccine, and others might riot to avoid having to take it.

There may be a few people who will riot and demand to be immunized. I won't be among them and probably won't even take the damned vaccine if it's offered. And, with that in mind, my biggest worry would be in someone trying to force me to accept the vaccine.

Until this idiocy dies down, my plan is to just stay close to home and not put myself in a situation where I might be accosted by the government.

the Paris-Norway town line

Anywhere near Poland Spring? You just know it's Maine when towns have names like that.

Well, it's good to know that it's been 2 1/2 months since that drill and nobody's rioted in Maine yet.

A lot of military and police organizations hold a variety of scenario drills. One morning I got a robocall from my local police department telling me not to be alarmed by the sound of gun fire in my neighborhood. The local SWAT group was running a series of "hostage" drills. I'm glad they called, but there was no way to calm down the dogs on my street.

Our goodthinkful Sec. of Truth “Popeye” Sibelius must not be on board with these Soylent Green/Maine living zombie scenarios since she stated her Dear Leader has apparently signed-off on giving 10% of our livesaving vaccine to foreigners who hate us.
In any event, if the good people of Maine are anything like my fellow Hoosiers, they probably have better body armor and larger caliber weapons than the Guard, so yeah—it could be a mess, if the Obamites start throwing their weight around.

Brigade homeland tours start Oct. 1

3rd Infantry’s 1st BCT trains for a new dwell-time mission. Helping ‘people at home’ may become a permanent part of the active Army

By Gina Cavallaro - Staff writer
Posted : Tuesday Sep 30, 2008 16:16:12 EDT

###

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.

Now they’re training for the same mission — with a twist — at home.

Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.

We're talking about a flu, right?

It's beginning to remind me of the cover story in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where the "General" was looking for something that would clear the Devils Tower region of Wyoming "of every living Christian Soul."

I can think of only one American politician dumb enough to swallow the black mail of the WHO.

Well, from this picture I deduce that the troop’s morale for riot control on their own citizens is really high </sarcasm>. To them, it’s just another BS scenario for drill weekend. At a minimum 3/4 of them would walk away if the people rose up against this marxist tyranny coming down from DC.

I don’t know how long these type of drills have been taking place but since I know that they have been going on almost 40 years, my guess is that some historian can trace them back much farther.

Precisely why they’re giving away the vaccines to other countries: to incite riots and thus, use their FEMA camps.

Riots to get a flu shot?? The bigger problem will be when ObamaCare passes and you end up with John Q scenarios all over the country where people aren't going to wait weeks/months to see a doctor while their family members are dying.

If cops want to train for people trying to force their way into a medical facility, fine by me.

If they start training to force people into medical facilities, then we have a serious problem.

The Obama's, however, have opted NOT to have THEIR children get the shot....

quote: "But, despite the national emergency, Barack and Michelle have decided not to inoculate their two girls against the H1N1 virus."

http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/10/obama-declares-national-emergency-on-swine-flu-but-wont-inoculate-daughters/

In the article is a VERY good excuse to refuse to have your school children jabbed. First quote the above about the obama's kids and then this:

“The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain.”

and if your school/town says THEY have enough, you could choose to tell them to send the extra to all the areas that are obviously short - or we wouldn't be in National Emergency" crackdown...or tell them to send your kids shots to the obamas.

For myself, I have successfully avoided all flues, pneumonia, etc for decades with my own preventive medicine...sniffing crushed garlic at the first nose twinge, gargling with raw cider vinegar in warm water, real chicken broth with onions/garlic/thyme/ginger etc - and "smudging" .

The Indians use sage smudge bundles to smudge rooms and people with - and upon entrance to pow wows, etc.,

Superstitious? No. They know it works.

Now science does to. Seems the smoke from sage - not the kind we cook with, which is from Europe, but the kind that grows in the mid-west.

...it contains the oils thujone, cineole and sesquiterpenes - antiseptics and anti-inflammatories.

These are released in the smoke and can not only sanitize the entire room but when you breathe it into your lungs - also goes into your bloodstream - they kill harmful germs in your system - and/or stop them before they take hold.

This is the same way crushed garlic works - the tiny oil globules in the SCENT of the garlic kills a plethora of germs on contact. (Some 80+% of prescription drugs are derived from natural plants and substances the Native American used. But they adulterate them so that they can patent them and make the big bucks. In changing the makeup, they often render them harmful.)

I also carry Purell with me everywhere I go - and I pretty much stay out of crowded places, especially theaters that are windowless germ collectors...during 'epidemics'.

New York City to declare state of emergency, add more resources to combat H1N1: http://news.bnonews.com/mf44

about 1 hour ago from BNO Headquarters

NEW YORK CITY (BNO NEWS) — New York City will declare a state of emergency to implement new resources to combat the spread of swine flu, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

The announcement came hours after New York Governor Paterson announced a disaster emergency declaration for the state, saying the virus killed at least 75 people in New York state.

Nah. We'd just make it in our cellar - or get it from one of our neighbors or friends - Maine has become the mecca for micro breweries.

Remember back when Carter capped working oil wells in CA and TX etc - and declared a gas shortage?

And gas and heating oil skyrocketed? (They were trying to do to our economy then what they are now)

Mainers, hard hit with high fuel oil prices, Dusted off the old wood stoves, got the chimneys cleaned and went back to burning wood.

That made them mad so they tried to outlaw wood burning. That didn't work, so they tried to outlaw OLD wood stoves, knowing many Mainers would not be able to afford new ones.

Mainers made a big stink and they backed down.

As we 'speak', I'm burning a 35 year old stove made by Mainers - I was burning one much older.

I can no longer use it all winter as I'm an old great granny and once the snow and ice pile to the sky on my woodpile, I have to give up and go to the furnace...which I hate. Not only costly, but not a friendly heat.

But we Mainers don't take kindly to orders. Tell us we hafta do something and our answer is: "Oh yeah. Watch this!"

Well I agree with you, on all counts.

Here in Vermont we used a Sotz barrel stove for winter wood heat for 23 years. I broke down this year an bought a Jotul fromm the Maine warehouse.

Of course the Sotz corporation was driven out of business by the Dem anti-wood stove initiatives. When the barrel wore out, I just took it to local welders who cut off the fittings and we installed them on a new barrel, doing just as you described.

It will be ineteresting to see what will happen in states with this self help culture, with Obama fiats on health care, hate speech, internet censorship, and guncontrol,etc. all coming down the pike sooner or later.Pass the popcorn, and if we get short of beer, I know where to go.
