NC: SC National Guard Drills Door-to-Door ''Wellness Checks''

Via LH



In yet another example of the growing trend of the process of acclimatization of the general public to an open military presence on American streets as well as greater cooperation between the US Military and civilian law enforcement, South Carolina was recently the scene of a statewide “emergency preparedness” drill that incorporated both of these aspects in a visible form.

On March 7, 2015, the state-wide drill, entitled Operation Vigilant Guard, took place under the pretext of preparation for the inevitable destruction a hurricane would bring to South Carolina. According to reports in the local media, the drills were based on the premise of the landfall of a Category 4 hurricane and “how they’d respond to get citizens help” in such an event.

The training involved the South Carolina National Guard as well as National Guard units from Georgia in addition to participants from local and state law enforcement agencies as well as local and state “officials.”

  2. All I can say is a line from the "Terminator" movies. " I like your gun."

  3. Something like this happened in Ohio, or somewhere like Ohio, where there was much
    flooding, a couple of yrs. ago. Homeowners were told to evacuate. While the
    homeowners were gone, the "authorities" went into their homes and took their
    guns. I don't see this as a welfare check but something more ominous.
    These drills are more than meets the eye. Why do they need 80 countries
    participating in the drills?
