Infowars – by Paul Joseph Watson
The Department of Homeland Security is conducting a “top secret” drill codenamed ‘Operation Independence’ across the United States today, during which officers in riot gear as well as undercover agents will patrol transport hubs.
According to a report by KTTV, the exercise is a “full scale terrorism drill” taking place nationwide. In Los Angeles, the drill involves the LA County Sheriff’s Department, Homeland Security and TSA agents, as well as plain clothed officers who will be, “working undercover, looking like any other passenger, they scour faces, briefcases and backpacks, looking for anything out of the ordinary.”
Officials claim the drills are to make the public feel “safe” in light of claims that the alleged Boston Bombers had planned a July 4 terror attack in New York.
According to Nicole Nishida of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Americans will celebrate their “independence” from tyranny by submitting to random bag searches.
Although the drill is “high visibility” in one sense – cops dressed in riot gear will be involved – many details of the exercise remain “top secret and that’s the way it should be. Only they need to know what the game plan is,” reports KTTV.
Instead of asking hard questions about what precisely taxpayer dollars were being spent on, the news channel prostituted itself to become a mouthpiece for the authorities, justifying the drill by hyping the threat of terrorism – when in reality academic studies show that Americans are more likely to be killed by accident-causing deer, severe allergic reactions to peanuts, or bee stings than they are by terrorists.
“What we need to know, or rather be reminded of, is that the threats, homegrown and imported, are all too real. And in one way, we’re all undercover agents who need to be aware of our surroundings,” states the report, encouraging Americans to become spies for the state.
The report also failed to mention that virtually all of the major domestic terror plots in the United States over the last decade have been “hatched by the FBI,” as the New York Times reported.
L.A. County’s Homeland Security Division chief Ted Sexton admitted that the DHS drill was not based on “any credible threat information.”
The sycophantic KTTV report even urged Americans to say “thank you” to uniformed agents who would be eyeballing them at at Union Station.
As we reported yesterday, many Americans frustrated with over the top security measures have given up on celebrating Independence Day altogether, noting that the stifling precautions have left them with little “freedom” to exercise.

BAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHA!!!!! ROLMFAO!!! Oh man…What will they think of next.
Yes, let’s takeover all the towns in the U.S. because of some “light” claim (AKA a little white lie rumor being spread around by DHS) that the alleged Bombers had planned a July 4th attack?
Wait….I thought the so called Boston Bombers were arrested (one dead and one arrested). If so, then how can they do a July 4th attack? With their minds? Are they telepathic? And no one questions this? Well, with the Zionist media on the case, you wonder why.
You know, I’m sick of this safety and security crap! I’m sick of having it stuffed down my throat. What about FREEDOM??? When was the last time you heard anyone in the news talk about Freedom? Being Free? NEVER! ALWAYS about Security and safety. I DON’T NEED YOUR SECURITY AND SAFETY!!! I DIDN’T NOR DID I EVER ASK FOR YOUR SECURITY AND PROTECTION!!! I CAN DEFEND MYSELF, DAMMIT!!! LEAVE ME THE F**K ALONE!!!! I JUST WANT TO BE FREE AND LEFT ALONE!!! IF I DIE, I DIE. THAT’S LIFE! DEAL WITH IT, YOU COMMUNIST/ZIONIST COWARDS!!! And that goes for the rest of you cowardly sheeple. GROW UP! Death is a part of life. We’re all gonna die sometime. The trick is not to rush it. We are all responsible for our own lives. Daddy and mommy will not be around forever and neither will you. DEAL WITH IT!!! LIVE FREE OR DIE A SLAVE!! It’s your choice.
Yep NC, it is not so much that we are going to die, it is how we are going to die. I think that I am going to die a free man. I am not a slave peon like most people are.
Sure glad I don’t have to rely on public transportation here.

Now isn’t that an oxymoron? I’ve looked for dumber statements but this one takes the cake.
Yep! You heard her “It’s what you don’t see that counts”. Be on alert!! Maybe it’s not really a drill as it’s being done all over the country.
