Oct. 8, 2012: Russia’s EMERCOM Minister Vladimir Puchkov (left) and U.S. Deputy Administrator for National Preparedness and Protection, Timothy Manning, sign the protocol of a bilateral meeting in Vladivostok, Russia.
Have FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security signed a deal that would permit as many as 15,000 Russian troops to be deployed in the United States to deal with an unspecified emergency?
This was not a question that I expected to be researching when I woke up today and decided to get back in the groove as Editor-in-Chief at ViralRead after the Fourth of July holiday. But then I checked the site stats and found that the top story and the top referrer were these items:
Obama’s DHS Requests 15,000 Russian Troops –Lisa Jennings, ViralRead
What’s With The 15,000 Russian Troops Requested By DHS? –The Lonely Conservative
Well, well — what’s up with that, indeed? The most obvious explanations would seem to be either:
• One of our writers has bought into a fringe conspiracy theory;
or
• It’s time to start stockpiling ammo and freeze-dried food, before the black helicopters show up to take us to FEMA camps.
This required me to do some research, because if either of these explanations is true, there’s a problem. The credibility of ViralRead could be jeopardized if there’s nothing to a story like this, but if there is something to the story, why isn’t it being covered by mainstream news organizations? And, after doing some research, I found out that this is exactly the problem: While I cannot say for sure you shouldn’t be stockpiling ammo, neither can I cite any official source on the content of these U.S.-Russia emergency agreements, and the regular media don’t seem to have paid any attention at all to these agreements.....

No S%^T!!!
Snopes is an old leftist hippie couple in their California trailer. Bzzzzztttt!!
How about a link to your website...
At this point nothing this admin does will shock me
click on his screen name...
Probably the emergency would be too many red states and not enough blue states.
Snopes used by FReepers? Really? You mean the far leftist commie, bleeding heart, managed by liberal scum, Snopes?
Bullcrap. EMERCOM is a Russian federalized firefighter and paramedic force. Not even a paramilitary. They don’t have guns but probably among the best in the world in their business. FEMA has to learn something from them.
Numerous nations including NATO members and Israel are happy to see EMERCOM “troops” for rescue and relief ops in case on earthquake, flood or fires.
When I click on what appears to be boxes on the left side of his page I get this:

Next you'll be calling yourself prophetic, like Ayn Rand, who turned out eerily prophetic. Whoever thought that anything in real life would be evocative of "Atlas Shrugged"?
Reminds me, I have to get some more copies of your series - I gave mine away to a "communist" hackerspace in San Francisco (Noise bridge).
OK, but the timing of this is peculiar. In the past few days, Obama has turned his attention away from the Middle East, where he has where ever since Benghazi he has been siding with Islamic fundamentalists against Russia’s Syrian Ally, Assad. Now, all of a sudden, he turns his attention from that to concentrate on “Global Warming”?? Moreover, this has come at a time when the American public has lost all interest in global warming , due to the weak economy and bleak employment picture.

IMO, it is overinflated and misinterpreted to make some nuts ballistic and start crackdown on Tea Party. “15000 Russian troops speaking perfect English wearing US uniform”. Just wait a bit to see some “right-wing” nut opening fire at national guard or FBI agent under the influence of this propaganda.
Who, you predicted Khazak troops, not Russian!
Supposed to be “Whoa” instead of who.
I dont report people to the mods. If anyone refuses to add me to their list, I call my buddies in the NSA to send a black helicopter over to their place to take care of the problem. Capice?
Where did you get THAT? I read 5 links and followed several 2 down, and didn't see this. Perhaps a link?
