...I'm not posting this to stir the pot
Just curious about this is all. I read this release and am not sure what to make of it yet. I am trying to get information from my kid's schools as to their policies on what to do in a red alert. I am finding some of this plausible and parts not so plausible, so please do not take this as my preaching some sort of propaganda here. I am just posting this in the event that maybe there is a little something to it. Here's the link:

Curious, And Disturbing... ?

Yes you are, but what am I?

I thought the "FEMA Taking Over The Country" story ran out of gas over a year ago, <G>

Personally... I think it's a load, <G>

If they flash their bull#&%!$ RED ALERT whoop-ti-doo on the TV screen, I'm loading a cooler of beer and heading up to the lake and God Help the little Nasty Guardsman who tries to stop me, LOL

I hear ya, Tilt. I didn't know quite what to make of this. Some of it definitely reeks. I just wanted to throw it out to check out a few TT reactions...

Sounds like an artcle from a "Daily Sun" or "Enquirer" type mag.

Well the South Jersey News story is real. The Washington Post story is misquoted: “Washington DC area schools were planning to prevent parents from picking up their own children” vs. “parents that they would be prevented, or strongly discouraged, from picking up their children”.

While he was able to link to these stories about what I would consider pretty reasonable precautions to safeguard our children, he provided nothing to backup his claim that Milbourne, Arkansas children were subjected to “brainwashing more severe than the conditioning undergone by Hitler youth”.

I’d say Alex Jones should consult a doctor or stop trying to stir up fear.

Im confused. Is this a real story or not?
I can understand that if something does happen that they have every right to keep the children. After 9/11, my children were sent home to a empty house. So what is this really about?

We were on Red Alert that day and for many months there after.

I am leaning towards thinking that most of this is a crock. Just wanted to get it out for reaction...

it has to be, think about 9/11.
i mean our kids where right there. the bridges were blocked off, we were shut down and under a safety net blanket.
Code Red is HIGH ALERT.
so yeah im leaning towards this is something to upset the people.
unless this is something that was done in a small town.

I saw a local news story where the school admin. was talking about a safe room or something where they would hold the kids, and the first thought that went through my mind was that they wouldn't keep me from coming after my kid. Not that I would trust my child to the public education system anyway. Not that I have a child. Not that I'm ready for kids....

Well I have a house full of those things and I know that if there were a poison gas attack on my neighborhood, the last thing I would want is for a bunch of hysterical parents to keep opening the school doors to get their kids. Our school system has been very good about sharing their plans with us.

Hopefully the plans will prove to be just as necessary as the nuclear war drills we did in school.
