- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -18/+97Its probably Bush's daughter's sweet 16.
- bscott86, on 10/12/2007, -13/+91Nah, if it were Bush's daughter, you would see reports of the entire Anheuser-Busch manufacturing plant being mobilized.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -25/+76The last time we had a large government exercise thousands of people died. It coincidentaly was held on 9-11-01
- phpirate, on 10/12/2007, -11/+43I like how much effort they're putting to protect government officials and doing nothing about the actual people of the country..
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24What I always love is how during an emergency, our important people gather in a few areas and our media outlets scramble to see who can leak where they are to the world first.
- MiloMindrbindr, on 10/12/2007, -20/+40Right there with ya on this one:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848&q=loose+change - kolanos, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24When something happens on 6/6/6, don't say they didn't warn you.
Remember: There were four wargame exercises going on during 9/11, simulating a hijacked aircraft. These wargames were Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Guardian, and Northern Vigilance. - Cone, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22They're taking the only positive of nuclear warfare away from us: Change in government.
Now there's really no reason for it. - Cbeck527, on 10/12/2007, -14/+31Loose change is a very good documentary. I don't agree with some parts, but it is good to be open minded.
- falcon707, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24*cough*BIAS*cough*
- yaddayadda, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18That headline could be misread VERY badly...
- diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23I'll check the Texas news tonight for ya, she might be out drunk again, not to mention that stripping she did lol
- CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20I swear. This scares me so much. I really am afraid of the direction this country is headed. All I want is a future with my girlfriend, getting married and raising a family and living 'simply'
The government is really scaring me now with everything they're doing because it threatens the essential basics of life by undoing all stability. - tyruth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17The government is preparing for martial law.
- cphuntington97, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Loose Change has its holes, but so does the accepted course of events.
The reason I encourage people to watch it is because it asks good questions. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11How about we pretend 9/11 never happened and go back to the way things were before? :D OOOOOOOOHHH I'm gonna get it for that one.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Ok, now here is your assignment America:
On the day of the drill, track where all these pricks go, and we will know where all the locations are. It is also worth tracking just who did get picked to "survive" out of all of us, isn't it?
Why should they be able to escape and leave us to die? Are commodities traders really that important to the survival of future civilization? I don't think so! What a farce.
Reminds me of Land of the Dead. The same scumbags that caused it all escape and hide in their luxury highrise fortresses, while we're left to fend for ourselves in the wasteland.
Maybe if they didn't feel so safe, so untouchable, they'd be alot less willing to play with our lives and squander all our $$$.
America, don't let these thieves escape! - andreo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10they've got to keep the public scared somehow. Nobody talks about the alert level anymore. I'm not sure that the thing even works anymore. Every time I run across some site with it up it's always a moderate.
But this move... Ah, yes! This will have people tossing around in their sleep for a couple of days.
(I wonder if it was like this in the 50's during the Red Scare that was being flung at the American people?) - JonnyJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"i don't know about you, but i seriously doubt that any government official can get anything done, even when their lives depend on it, in less then 12 minutes."
quote of the year - matthewsr2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8most bunker programs were abandoned at the end of the cold war not because the threat of nukes went away (far from it actually, think of all the scramble over who had launch codes for the nukes when the USSR failed) but because theres no time to evacuate to a bunker when the attacks happen.
an out of the blue strike (meaning we had no intelligence) would only leave less then 12 minutes to get to the bunker and get it sealed up, assuming that our sattelites catch the ignition sequence of the rocket. with a delivery verhicle using all solid rocket propellant there's no need to fuel the rocket, at the press of a button its in the air.
i don't know about you, but i seriously doubt that any government official can get anything done, even when their lives depend on it, in less then 12 minutes.
so these bunker eveacuations really are a joke. even if they use airplanes instead of nukes there will not be time to get to a bunker in the middle of an attack. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Besides, nobody is going to nuke Oregon or anything........Nothing exciting ever happens here.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8trying to stop the organic growth of a site is like trying to keep people on a poorly designed sidewalk. People will travel the path of least resistances and dont care that sidewalks are semetrical over functional. Likewise as stated by kevin rose, digg will expand beyond technology. And if it didnt it would only be hurting itself.
- Skuba, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Either no one here saw "Team America: World Police" or people need to develop a sense of humor.
- benjellos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9WOPR: How about a nice game of chess?
- DigeratiPrime, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14building 7 was a smoking gun.
- yanked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Oh wait, dang, I guess we did re-elect the guys who hid out during the last attack. My bad.
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10The future massacre of Nebraska when everyone goes to Nebraska and get a single warhead destroying them.
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10"will say goodbye to their families"
The author of this article makes it sound like they are going out to die or something. - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Sounds familiar ... running drills but this time they are made public.
The best time to start a fire is during a fire drill.
Will NORAD stand down again? - goatrandy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"As a Nihilist, I welcome the imminent destruction of everything."
I for one welcome our non-existant under-lords. - MiloMindrbindr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"I will sacrifice some of my personal freedoms to bring this country back to the moral center it was founded on."
*shudder*
Careful not to leave any spots of the Constitution clean when you and the rest of the gov't wipe their asses with it and flush it down the toilet.
and who's morals? yours, mine, or someone else's? cus i guarantee they are all very dissimilar. - Moocat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Hoorah for Canada ;)
- ThomasCJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -17/+23Loose Change is, unfortunately, a lot of crap. If you do your research, you'll see what I mean. I was in denial, but when I saw all of the facts piling up, I couldn't follow loose change sensibly anymore.
- solidcube, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7We "bitch" about it because the government have shown that they're not trustworthy.
- streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought the moral center of this country *was* in fact personal freedom?
- kolanos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10It's the other way around.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Who sent the Anthrax letters?
- tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Am I the only one who read the title and thought it said the government workers are going to make an attack larger than 9/11?
- twisterX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Don't forget austrailia. Whats the last time anything bad happened over there?
- DigeratiPrime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8umm, its the Washington Post. What do you want Faux News?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Post - Daedalus81, on 10/12/2007, -6/+12I think enamel and bone are a lot more durable than aluminum...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -30/+36http://www.boston.com/news/packages/sept11/anniversary/wire_stories/0903_plane_exercise.htm
To those who dug me down... F U - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13I don't know about you but I'd just head for the uninhabited forrest areas and live off the land. It's not like we'd be invaded, just nuked.........A little fallout won't hurt anyone :D
- yanked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If millions of us are going to die in an attack, the very least I'd ask would be for the government that let it happen to go down with us. Imagine, as a survivor, re-electing the guys who hid out in bunkers during the attack! And you thought getting a deferral from Vietnam was cowardly.
- SyDIGG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yes the Washington Post, like most newspapers, is bias.
- qaddafi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6forget about loose change and other things that disprove loose change. Now, look at what the government as done after 9/11 by using the word "Terrorism".
- raccettura, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6What's sad is that this has nothing to do with protecting America.
This is just a firedrill to make sure Americas elite know how to protect their own asses in an emergency.
So they get a bunker... what do we get? Oh yea, duct tape and plastic.
Move along... nothing to see here. - Etunus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"for the largest "continuity of government" exercise ever conducted"
Who says this government is worth continuing? Can we all just move while they are gone and hope they can't track down our new house? - fredrated, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Is there any way we can throw the dirt in after them so they can't come back? Who in their right mind wants continuity of this government?
- redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Yeah, "continuity of government". Well, it looks like America's angry! Let's go hide in a hole and send out the military.
