I'm in Washington DC, and DHS is recruiting for TOPOFF4 observers

[MiniMe]

in our lobby. DHS has some offices in the building. I'm sure it has been discussed here before, and I think I read some of the posts, but I must have missed what the exercise name was. I poked around a little on the DHS website, and it doesn't mention anything about those exercises being in DC, just Arizona, Oregon, and Guam. And it is taking place Oct 15-19, so this week.

Isn't it a bit late to be looking for Observers? If there are no exercises in DC, why are they recruiting for observers here?

Anyway, here is the DHS link.

3. Yes, but I'm in Washington DC. I found out what it is.

They have observers from all sectors, private, federal, media, etc for the exercises. They observe and evaluate the DHS response. Apparently the obervers are already signed up, and they are registering for the training. I talked to somebody who works at DHS.

2. These 'exercises' were used by the 9-11 terrorists as 'cover'

And it isn't like the Ptech (Saudi software company) wasn't aware of all the Sept. 11, 2001 'war games'.

If these are radiological exercises, I'd be worried about how 'piggy-backed' some of these could be; be more concerned about who is participating and how well the public knows these exercises are taking place.

4. Parts of TOPOFF 3 were done before the 7/7 bombing

3. Britain's Atlantic Blue, April 2005

In Britain, there were several documented exercises of terror attacks on London's underground system.

In addition to the 7/7 exercise conducted by Visor Consultants, a similar mock terror drill on London's transportation system entitled "Atlantic Blue" was held in April 2005, barely three months prior to the real attacks. In 2003, a mock terror drill labelled OSIRIS 2 was conducted. It consisted, according to Peter Power in testing the "equipment and people deep in the Underground of London". It involved the participation of several hundred people. (Interview with Peter Power, CTV, 11 July 2005).

"Atlantic Blue" was part of a much larger US sponsored emergency preparedness exercise labelled TOPOFF 3, which included the participation of Britain and Canada. It had been ordered by the UK Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr. Charles Clarke, in close coordination with his US counterpart Michael Chertoff.

5. This article is closer to your insinuation, linkage to MI6 ?

London 7/7 Terror Suspect Linked to British Intelligence?

"LOFTUS: This is the guy, and what's really embarrassing is that the entire British police are out chasing him, and one wing of the British government, MI6 or the British Secret Service, has been hiding him. And this has been a real source of contention between the CIA, the Justice Department, and Britain.

JERRICK: MI6 has been hiding him. Are you saying that he has been working for them?

LOFTUS: Oh I'm not saying it. This is what the Muslim sheik said in an interview in a British newspaper back in 2001.

JERRICK: So he's a double agent, or was?

LOFTUS: He's a double agent. "

So, the general public can surmise that these "exercises" have a habit of being piggybacked by real terrorists AND/OR are pretexts used by the intelligence community itself as 'false flag' operations

Is this what we can deduce logically ? How many more instances are necessary to reach that conclusion ?
