The Daily Times Herald, Carroll, Iowa, article, "Guardsmen to conduct urban training at Arcadia in April", dated 2/17/2009, is at their website

Due to Alex Jones' Talkshow Radio program attention, the exercise was supposed to be scaled back, per another article, "National Guard unit scales back plans, won't train at Arcadia", dated 2/23/2009, at

It would appear from the lack of further reports in the Herald, circa the April 2 - 5 weekend, that the Guard did indeed cancel the training exercise for that weekend. Interestingly, this Guard unit sent folks to DC for the January inauguration to provide security. I suspect the urban training exercise was not the sole idea of the local commander, but had it's genesis in DC. Sort of a trial balloon... small, mid-western, rural community (Arcadia pop. ~500), and does indeed meet the criteria for a "population conditioning" exercise. Given the recently released Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) report on "Rightwing Extremism" threats, it would appear the folks in DC are the ones who are paranoid.

Subj: Population Conditioning
More conditioning of the population to accept uniformed troops occupying towns and searching homes. And why an arms dealer? More conditioning, guns and gun dealers bad.
