Excerpt:
A shadowy media firm steps in to help orchestrate a sophisticated campaign of mass deception. Rather than alert the public to the smallpox threat, the company sets up a high-tech “ops center” to convince the public that an accident at a chemical plant threatens London. As the fictitious toxic cloud approaches the city, TV news outlets are provided graphic visuals charting the path of the invisible toxins. Londoners stay indoors, glued to the telly, convinced that even a short walk into the streets could be fatal.
This scenario may sound like a rejected plot twist from a mediocre Bond flick, but one company is dead set on making this fantasy come to life.
Strategic Communication Laboratories, a small U.K. firm specializing in “influence operations” made a very public debut this week with a glitzy exhibit occupying prime real estate at Defense Systems & Equipment International, or DSEi, the United Kingdom’s largest showcase for military technology. The main attraction was a full-scale mock-up of its ops center, running simulations ranging from natural disasters to political coups.

Drew Landry sings truth to #Oilzilla before the panel hearing testimony at the New Orleans Hilton Riverside. Righteous.
Then he holds the floor, concluding: “It just sucks. Let’s just do the right damn thing! It shouldn’t be this hard. It shouldn’t take a committee to listen to people.”

I viewed the invitation from Women of the Storm to BE THE ONE.
Trauma mastery or trauma stewardship? That is my question.
I signed the petition because that’s what ladies do and because Sandy Rosenthal told me to. I’m still holding out for Cat 5 levees and seagates of Dutch design at the mouth of the Mississippi River. I’m also willing to discuss freeing the River to help restore wetland.
