Topic: Earthquake Drills

The mass bird deaths in Arkansas are linked to a triangulation of the New Madrid fault line, suggesting potential testing of HAARP or sonic wave technology. FEMA and various state agencies are preparing for "NLE 2011," a national-level exercise in May 2011 simulating a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in the central United States. ABC News has also aired segments warning of the catastrophic risks associated with the New Madrid Seismic Zone.

San Diego State University hosted "Exercise 24" (X24), a drill testing the use of social media during a major earthquake. Simultaneously, residents in Southern California reported an unusual amount of low-flying military helicopters, including Chinooks, Blackhawks, and armed Apaches. The hosts question the necessity and transparency of these military exercises over civilian populations.

In a brief satirical aside, the hosts compare the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI in the United Kingdom to the "Pedobear" controversy. They mention state receptions and private lunches scheduled for the Pope while referencing recent earthquake drills in "Gitmo Nation East."

Reports indicate that the US Southern Command (Southcom) was conducting a disaster relief drill for a Haitian hurricane scenario the day before the actual earthquake struck. This coincidence is compared to similar drills held during 9/11 and the 7/7 London bombings. Additionally, the discovery of massive oil reserves in Haiti is discussed as a potential motive for US involvement.
