The military budget was expanded. Why do people keep repeating lies?

Obama administration is preparing to stage terror attacks and declare martial law.

I see.

Good lord. Where do these people come from? Is there some hidden area of the country where these people congregate? Are these the same folks who spend their lives setting up homemade intergalactic radios in the Nevada and Arizona deserts, in an attempt to communicate with the aliens who are preparing to take over humanity?

Because lies are so much more fun...you can say anything you want and count on there being credulous people willing to believe it.

Alan Keyes and Barack Obama debate, hosted by Illinois Radio Network :: Alan Keyes Archives

This transcript illustrates exactly why President Obama trounced Keyes in
their bid for the US Senate here in Illinois. He has a superlative vocabulary and speaks with grand rhetorical flourishes, yet says little if anything of any substance.
I remember Ollie North testifying about this very plan during the Iran/Contra hearings, describing it as an "off-the-shelf" CIA plan that was
already developed. Trying to pin this on Obama is one more sign of GOP
desperation. Their time would be better spent concentrating on America's
problems and seeking valid policies of their own; our citizens will eventually
become restive and demand more than lies, distortions and innuendo being
directed at the president on a daily basis. If your main function as an elected official is not representing your constituents, your constituents will
hand you retirement papers in 2010.

Actually, Reagan was already starting to show symptoms of Alzheimer's (which would eventually kill him) by the end of his 2nd term. This is not meant as a bash to Reagan (whom I think was a very good President in many ways), but rather a simple statement of his health at the time.

What are they planning for? Financial Collapse? American citizens upset that their country is being looted by a cabal of international banksters and corrupt politicians?

Before reading
National Level Exercise 2009

From the official FEMA website, Read it for yourself at: Federal Emergency Management Agency


National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.

NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises. The NEP was established to provide the U.S. government, at all levels, exercise opportunities to prepare for catastrophic crises ranging from terrorism to natural disasters.

NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.

EXERCISE FOCUS

NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.

The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.

NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities.

NLE 09 will be an operations-based exercise to include: activities taking place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and potential field locations to include federal headquarters facilities in the Washington D.C. area, and in federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector facilities in FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

EXERCISE OBJECTIVES

Through a comprehensive evaluation process, the exercise will assess prevention and protection capabilities both nationally and regionally. Although NLE 09 is still in the planning stages, the exercise is currently designed to validate the following capabilities:

Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination
Counter-Terrorism Investigation and Law Enforcement
Air, Border and Maritime Security
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Public and Private Sector Alert/Notification and Security Advisories
International Coordination
VALIDATING THE HOMELAND SECURITY SYSTEM

Exercises such as NLE 09 are an important component of national preparedness, helping to build an integrated federal, state, tribal, local and private sector capability to prevent terrorist attacks, and rapidly and effectively respond to, and recover from, any terrorist attack or major disaster that occurs.

The full-scale exercise offers agencies and jurisdictions a way to test their plans and skills in a real-time, realistic environment and to gain the in-depth knowledge that only experience can provide. Participants will exercise prevention and information sharing functions that are critical to preventing terrorist attacks. Lessons learned from the exercise will provide valuable insights to guide future planning for securing the nation against terrorist attacks, disasters, and other emergencies.

For more information about NLE 09, contact the FEMA News Desk: 202-646-4600.

FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters.
