No, what was actually going on that morning was a “training exercise” involving a quiet neighborhood that probably isn’t that different from your own. Being the patriot that she is, Maggie decided it might be a good idea to start asking some questions. Nothing too difficult, mainly just what the hell they were doing walking fully armed down a street regularly used to facilitate the innocent pastimes of all American kids.
Glancing at her briefly one Soldier responded, “Just training Ma’am. Joining up with another patrol at the rally point.”
Not accepting this as a reasonable answer to her inquiry, Magge went on, “Oh, ok. What are you training on the streets of town for exactly?”
At that the young soldier replied, “To be honest ma’am, I don’t know.”
The reason for his domestic training exercise that morning might be unknown to him, but sadly this is not only just another indicator of the uncertain times ahead, but also a revealing indicator of how worried the Feds are of a possible outbreak of civil insurrections across the nation.
I live about 72 miles away from Crookston. Do you know the date this happened? Maybe something was put in the local paper.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get you the date...

Hope this helps :)
Here is the information I found from the Crookstontimes.com. The article was posted Feb 23, 2011 at 11:22 am. Unfortunately, there is nothing specific mentioned as a reason for the drills.
ReplyDeleteCrookston — Bravo Company Minnesota National Guard personnel based at the Crookston Armory will conduct exercise drills in town beginning Friday, Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. and concluding at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 27.
The “Urban Operations Training” will focus on a few city-owned properties on Bridge Street in Jerome’s Addition. Some Humvees and up to 27 soldiers will be involved in daylight activities on Bridge Street on Saturday and Sunday. They soldiers will be armed with military-issued weapons but won’t utilize any ammunition or pyrotechnics. They will travel to and from the armory several times during the drills.
Guard personnel on Thursday will alert residents in the Bridge Street area of what to expect.
Something else just ocurred to me. We had some pretty bad flooding in these parts in 2010 and 2011 in the late winter, early spring times of the year. The National Guard helped out a lot. It is more than likely they were doing drills to prepare for that last year.
ReplyDeleteTypical conspiracy hype with no substance!
