TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Thursday, August 11, 2005

The names of several NORAD wargames and terror drills are being changed, including some, such as Amalgam Warrior, which was used to piggyback in the actual 9/11 inside job attacks.

From THE WASHINGTON TIMES, August 10, 2005:

The U.S.-Canadian military commands responsible for protecting North America... have changed the names of key readiness exercises...

U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs have struck the word "warrior" from one major exercise and replaced it with "phantom," according to a July internal message from command headquarters. The message went to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, the Joint Chiefs and other senior leaders. ...

A NORAD spokesman, Air Force Master Sgt. John Tomassi, [claimed] "warrior" and other words were changed with Indians in mind. [But] He said, "They have been using these names for quite some time, and I don't know of any complaints."

An exercise called "Amalgam Chief" has been changed to "Amalgam Arrow," the message states. And an exercise dubbed "Amalgam Fabric Brave" is now "Amalgam Fabric Dart." "Fabric Indian" was deleted in favor of "Fabric Sabre."

Northern Command and NORAD are keeping exercise labels of "Northern Edge," "Vigilant Shield," "Ardent Sentry," "Amalgam Mute" and "Vital Archer."

The bottom line: warrior, chief, brave and Indian are out; phantom, arrow and dart are in.

NORAD is a U.S.-Canadian organization commanded by U.S. Adm. Timothy J. Keating, who also heads Northern Command. ... Its largest exercise to practice those tactics is the twice-yearly Amalgam Warrior, which is scheduled for next April and is now Amalgam Phantom.
[...]

Amalgam Fabric Brave, which is now Amalgam Fabric Dart, involves deploying fighter jets to various NORAD regions to check their response times.

[...]

Phantom seems appropriate given the nonexistent nature of many or all of the alleged hijackers on 9/11.
