“Shaping a New World Order” During “Vigilant Shield”

November 14th, 2008

Here’s the CNN headline: G-20: Shaping a New World Order.

But look what’s going to be happening at the same time: Vigilant Shield.

Via: Progressive:

This week and into next, NorthCom and NORAD are conducting a joint exercise called “Vigilant Shield ’09.”

The focus will be on “homeland defense and civil support,” a NorthCom press release states.

From November 12-18, it will be testing a “synchronized response of federal, state, local and international partners in preparation for homeland defense, homeland security, and civil support missions in the United States and abroad.”

NorthCom is short for the Pentagon’s Northern Command. President Bush created it in October 2002. (The Southern Command, or SouthCom, covers Latin America. Central Command, or CentCom, covers Iraq and Afghanistan. And the new AfriCom covers, well, you get the picture.)

Vigilant Shield ’09 “will include scenarios to achieve exercise objectives within the maritime, aerospace, ballistic missile defense, cyber, consequence management, strategic communications, and counter terrorism domains,” the press release states.

NorthCom’s press release also says that other participants in the exercise include the U.S. Strategic Command’s “Global Lightning 09,” which is a plan to use nuclear weapons in a surprise attack.

The Pentagon’s “Bulwark Defender 09” is also involved in the exercise, and it is a cyberspace protection outfit of the Pentagon.

Something called the “Canada Command DETERMINED DRAGON” also is participating, as is the California National Guard and California’s “Golden Guardian.”

California’s involvement appears to center around planning for a catastrophic earthquake.

“Under the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger and direction of his Office of Homeland Security, the nation’s largest state sponsored emergency exercise will take place November 13-18,” a press release from the governor’s office states.

“Golden Guardian 2008 tests California’s capability to respond and recover during a major catastrophic earthquake. The Golden Guardian 2008 full-scale exercise scenario focuses on a simulated, catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake along the southern portion of the San Andreas Fault.”

NorthCom is being shy about giving out additional information about Vigilant Shield ’09. When I called for a fact sheet on it, I was told there was none.

    /watches the last few shovefuls of dirt being thrown onto the grave of whatever USA patriotism I might have ever felt.

    That’s okay, I always personally identified more with “Wisconsin” (though we certainly have our own Sick MotherFuckers here) than with this grasping and bloated continental empire known as “The United States of America”. May this empire collapse under the weight of its own moral and spiritual (not to mention literal financial) bankruptcy soon!

    The New World Order/New World Currency theme is getting pushed hard and heavy now. Check out this piece in the Indian “Economic Times” with the infuriating title “Be Bold Enough to Fight the System From Within”:

    “First, the countries holding US dollars must come forward to recapitalise the financial system of the US (in the US and abroad) by buying up equities of the US companies at the current low—and attractive—prices.

    …Second, we must go back to the wisdom of Keynes and have a genuine international currency
    as the international reserve currency. An internationally accepted bancor (as Keynes called it) should be created and exchanged for unwanted dollars.

    …Third, a coordinated effort will be made to create alternative sources of demand in the world economy as the US net imports decline inevitably….The upcoming G20 summit in Washington DC could be a venue for considering these matters.”
