Sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh,.... JANET RENO CREATES SECRET Y2K AGENCY drudgereport.com Attorney General Janet Reno has secretly created a small agency within the FBI to deal with any national Y2K repercussions. The agency, The National Domestic Preparedness Office, is now up and running -- and preparing -- despite the fact it does not officially exist! Congress has not yet approved its budget. Investigative legend Jack Anderson is set to report in his syndicated column: Later this month, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will hold a national "table top" simulated scenario drill -- similar to the "war games" played out in the military. The drill "will pull together all emergency and military resources. FEMA, along with the National Guard, is responsible for coordinating state and local responses to Y2K problems while the State Department will cover international social problems," Anderson reports. The U.S. military is quietly planning a sophisticated social-response network in case civil unrest should erupt. Military types are denying a newspaper story that captured Marines in a "civil unrest exercise" at Quantico. "They told me what the exercise was about and then asked me not to report it," says Dave Ellis of the POTOMAC NEWS. The reporter filed a Page One story that ran with a photo apparently showing the Marines in "Y2K riot training". "[The Marines] were worried that people would think they were painting helicopters black and training for a huge government crackdown at the millennium," he explains.
