Capitol evacuation black op?

by **Col Quisp** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 4:37 pm

What I don't understand is: why do they need to create a fake power outage to get explosives planted? They have access to this building and don't need a pretext to go anywhere they want in it and this could easily be done at night or whenever. Based on that, I think the whole thing is a hoax.

Good points, all. But I figure if anyone gets hurt it'll be the residents of Anacostia& Prince George's Co. Does Congress recess for Easter?

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>The MIG story is genuine, but I don't think the two are connected besides being mentioned in the same news report, providing an appearance of connection.<hr></blockquote> I have little time or patience to track this kind of stuff these days, but It was a reply to your latest blog that got me thinking about this ;  Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that an Elite United States Military Unit staged an unprecedented raid upon that Nations Capital Building for the purpose of ransacking the offices of many of its Lawmakers for evidence pertaining to Counter-Coup forces, and their cooperation in attempting to bring down the Military Regime currently in power. Its ole Sorcha Faal again.

How strange you bring this up Jeff? I was on the Capitol cop website to get the news release on McKinney, Well now the Capitol cops don't issue news releases very often and I found it strange enough that there was a report newer than the Mckinney release, that I screencaptured in case it was dissapeared...it was about the evacuation, and that was several days ago.

I cannot get the file to play. But, since I experience massive sychonicty with this site and your posts, I'll throw my two cents in. I think you're righ to pay attention to this "heads up". Many have predicted a nuke in a metropolitan area. After Katrina, I feel the disconnect is so strong that even an event such as that would not seal the deal. It has to be something for the collective national mindset. Throw in religion- say an attack on Good Friday to the Capitol Building. Those who are "expendable" would probably be the only ones in the building that day. But, my feeling is that it could be a combo. People are so numb now that the danger has to feel both national, yet "close to home". It can't just be something that impacts the East Coast, or the South. Nope. A double dose like the Capitol and an attack in the SoutHwest. Something to make one feel that they are vulnerable no matter where they live. I see those poll numbers dropping like "4,3, 2, 1"

From the Wiki page: "The Capitol Power Plant is power plant which provides steam, and cooled water for the United States Capitol and other buildings in the Capitol Complex. " This doesn't mean the power plant provides electricity. Most college campuses have their own power plant to provide heat and air conditioniong, but NOT electricity. My own employer's campus has a power plant and we've lost electricity when trees have come down. A power plant isn't necessarily a provider of electricity.

Yes, it appears the tunnels are basically off-limits for nearly all security officers, except a handful of specially trained Capitol police. This should allow free reign in the tunnels for anyone wanting to plant explosives. This article says the conditions are so hazardous in the tunnels, the Capitol police are not allowed to even send their dogs into them. <a href="http://www.thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/032906/tunnels.html">From The Hill</a>: Ten Architect of the Capitol employees who work in the Capitol Power Plant tunnels asserted that there is no police presence in the underground tunnels in a letter sent to four members of Congress nearly two weeks ago. The tunnels provide steam to heat and cool the Capitol campus and run from the Capitol Power Plant to the House and Senate office buildings, the Capitol and other, surrounding buildings. The letter contends that the police are not permitted to patrol the tunnels because of their dangerous conditions, which include crumbling concrete that could fall at any time and large amounts of carcinogenic asbestos. “The United States Capitol Police has made the entire tunnel system off limits to their staff because of the safety conditions as well as the lack of communication because phones and radios do not work in the tunnels,” the workers wrote. When asked about the concerns raised in the letter, the police spokeswoman said only that some members of the force have undergone special training and that the training allows them to access the tunnel system. Rank-and-file officers, however, are forbidden from entering utility tunnels because of the hazardous conditions. In the letter, the workers said that the police policy presents a security problem. “This should be a real concern to the Congress and Senate as all buildings on the complex can be entered through the steam tunnels,” they wrote. “Realize that it is on a regular basis [that] we see people in the tunnels that we don’t know why they are down there.” Citing documents received from the police, the letter adds: “The Capitol police not only won’t go down there [but] they stated ‘We won’t let our dogs down.’” Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gdn01>GDN01</A> at: 4/7/06 2:21 pm

Ever since 9/11 it has been Congress and all in the Beltway who get the biggest dose of terror to keep them in line. 9/11 - 'no air cover' 9/11 cover up anthrax attacks - US military anthrax Anthraz cover up Beltway Sniper - gets FBI cyber security expert Linda Franklin Constant terror alerts Paul Wellstone killed NYT reporter writing about Abramoff killed Congressional aide working on Abramoff attacked 'Doomsday' legislation in case many of Congress are killed NSA surveillance of everyone It just goes on and on. Any wonder they are compliant? They must know they are surrounded by wolves who bite and routinely display their teeth. The middle class and Congress are being eliminated in every possible way as the police state has the technology to control the poor and don't need a management class anymore.

Global New Matrix -- up and running again -- argues that the United States Capitol complex may be the next terror target. At first, I dismissed the idea as mere sensationalism. But GNM links to a fascinating story which appeared in The Hill last March 29, and after reading it, I must now confess to being intrigued. Not convinced, not persuaded -- but intrigued. In essence, the article concerns the crumbling network of steam tunnels beneath the Capitol buiilding. The Capitol Police do not venture into this dark labyrinth, due to exposed asbestos and unstable concrete walls. Even police dogs may not venture down there. ... These concerns arose after employees of the Capitol Power Plant sent four members of Congress a letter describing the obvious potential dangers from terrorism. The following section of the letter struck me as particularly noteworthy: "This should be a real concern to the Congress and Senate as all buildings on the complex can be entered through the steam tunnels," they wrote. "Realize that it is on a regular basis [that] we see people in the tunnels that we don’t know why they are down there." ... Still...the notion of a Capitol Hill blast is chilling, especially when one considers the controversy over the new film V For Vendetta. I've not yet seen the film adpatation, although I possess the Alan Moore piece that inspired it. Right-wingers have made this movie the centerpiece of one of their usual hate campaigns, while many on the left have -- perhaps unwisely -- embraced V's actions without caveat. (Moore himself has expressed mixed feelings about his protagonist.) If a bomb destroyed much of the Capitol building, many would automatically blame the act on a left-wing radical (or group of radicals) inspired by Guy Fawkes and his updated cinematic counterpart. Such an event would give the conservative propagandists an unimaginable coup. If life imitates art, the radio rightists will surely scream, once more, about their imaginary conspiracy of Hollywood "libruls." That meme always succeeds in riling the rubes. Not only that. For years, the Rovian hordes have attempted to link progressives with terrorism -- even though the only destructive incidents of domestic origin during the past three-and-a-half decades have all originated with the militia maniacs and their reactionary comrades. (A few lefties did commit violent acts during the Vietnam era, but the worst of those outrages was insignificant compared to, say, the Oklahoma City blast.) An explosion in the Capitol would insure the election of a Republican congress -- which would, in turn, insure that impeachment remains a dream. <a href="http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/04/guy-fawkes-in-dc-is-capitol-next.html">cannonfire</a>

from: <a href="http://signs-of-the-times.org/signs/editorials/signs20060407_IsTheCapitolBuildingNextOrDoTheTunnelsGoDeeper.php">signs of the times</a> many embedded links at the original Is The Capitol Building Next, Or Do The Tunnels Go Deeper? Signs of the Times 07/04/2006 In light of the 'insider' fingerprints left all over the 9/11 attacks, a few recent stories made us sit up and take notice. On Monday, the U.S. Capitol building (seat of the great American Democracy inaction) experienced a 'power out' that caused an evacuation for about an hour. Strangely enough, a spokeswoman for Potomac Electric Power Co., said the electricity shut off automatically after there was "a momentary drop in voltage due to customer operations up the lines" away from the Capitol. "The protective equipment sensed the significant change in voltage and tripped," she said. U.S. Capitol police however said a power spike that affected much of the metropolitan area "knocked out power to the Capitol building and caused lights and cable TV reception to flicker throughout the Capitol complex." In response, police evacuated the building and investigated, along with architect of the Capitol and fire officials. Normally, this apparently innocuous event would not be interesting, except for the fact that, on the weekend prior to the 9/11 attacks, power to the WTC complex was also shut off, allowing, as is now expected, the conspirators to enter the complex and 'prep' the buildings for the very obvious demolition that occured just a few days later. Added to that, we have the following very interesting story from "The Hill", a newspaper "for and about the U.S. Congress": Some officers are trained to patrol tunnels, police say A select group of U.S. Capitol Police have undergone special training to access the miles of utility tunnels underneath the Capitol complex, according to a police spokeswoman. The spokeswoman, however, would not provide further detail about how the tunnels are protected because of national-security concerns. “Specific information regarding our capabilities in this area cannot be discussed, as this is a security-related matter,” said the spokeswoman, Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. The Washington, D.C., fire department, which serves the Capitol campus, also says it is equipped to respond to any emergency involving the tunnels. Alan Etter, a spokesman for the department, said firefighters possess the training and equipment necessary should they need to enter the tunnel system. “We have just completed training involving the large underground steam tunnels that run throughout the city,” he said. "We have had limited exposure to the tunnels under the Capitol; however, they are the same as the [General Services Administration] tunnels." The comments came in response to questions about what the U.S. Capitol Police are doing to secure the tunnels. Ten Architect of the Capitol employees who work in the Capitol Power Plant tunnels asserted that there is no police presence in the underground tunnels in a letter sent to four members of Congress nearly two weeks ago. The tunnels provide steam to heat and cool the Capitol campus and run from the Capitol Power Plant to the House and Senate office buildings, the Capitol and other, surrounding buildings. The letter contends that the police are not permitted to patrol the tunnels because of their dangerous conditions, which include crumbling concrete that could fall at any time and large amounts of carcinogenic asbestos. “The United States Capitol Police has made the entire tunnel system off limits to their staff because of the safety conditions as well as the lack of communication because phones and radios do not work in the tunnels,” the workers wrote. When asked about the concerns raised in the letter, the police spokeswoman said only that some members of the force have undergone special training and that the training allows them to access the tunnel system. Rank-and-file officers, however, are forbidden from entering utility tunnels because of the hazardous conditions. In the letter, the workers said that the police policy presents a security problem. “This should be a real concern to the Congress and Senate as all buildings on the complex can be entered through the steam tunnels,” they wrote. “Realize that it is on a regular basis [that] we see people in the tunnels that we don’t know why they are down there.” Citing documents received from the police, the letter adds: “The Capitol police not only won’t go down there [but] they stated ‘We won’t let our dogs down.’” Safety precautions regarding the tunnels have been taken in the past for special events, according to Eva Malecki, a spokeswoman for the Architect of the Capitol (AoC), the office responsible for managing the buildings and utilities on the Capitol campus. To prepare for inaugurations or State of the Union speeches, manholes are sealed to prevent unauthorized entry. “After Sept. 11, 2001, there was more emphasis on securing [the tunnels] for security purposes,” Malecki said. “The AoC has started replacing the old hatches with new ones that have emergency-release features that secure the hatches from the outside, but allow egress from inside the tunnels in an emergency.” D.C. firefighters already use self-contained breathing apparatuses, or breathing masks, that protect them from asbestos and other particles. Did you know that there are miles of tunnels underneath the Capitol complex? Is it really believable that these tunnels have been left in such a poor state of repair that they could collapse at any minute? Is it really believable that the Washington Police Department cannot obtain phones or walkie talkies that would work in these tunnels? Is the claim that only select teams of officers can patrol these tunnels because of the health threats really believable when D.C. firefighters already have self-contained breathing masks that protect them from asbestos and other particles? After this news report, we tend to conclude that if there ever was a plan to detonate a nuke in these tunnels and take out all of Congress and lots of DC citizens and open the path to an overt political coup by way of the Continuity of Government group , then these plans have now been shelved. What is perhaps even more interesting is the other possible reasons why no one is allowed to go down into these tunnels. After all, it's not like the U.S. is a stranger to burrowing into other people's business. And just in case you are dismissing all of this as "secret government conspiracy nonsense", then understand that to hold such a view you will also have to accept the fact that the mainstream press and government is in on this little plot along with us, which brings you to the startling conclusion that it's all one big conspiracy to try and make you, the ordinary person, think that conspiracies exist! How's that for conspiratorial?

Dear mother, the bold type in the body of the article IS the embedded link. Try clicking on one.

by **mother** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 12:05 pm

I did click on the bold type(s) but nothing, not even a little pointy finger. But What strikes me in this story as bogus is the disrepair of the tunnels. If they are in truth dangerous, it is inexcusable. The new Ronald Reagan building nearby took years and years of underground work. The metro, miles of underground. What engineer would neglect the famous underground tunnels of the Capitol? DC is built on a former swamp. Many reasons for upkeep in tunnels, like what aout surface collapse? Wierd story here.
