There was that unverified post floating around too that the mayor of OKC had been briefed that there were arrests going to be taking place. Wonder if that rumor actually had some substance to it? If so my question is why the hell Oklahoma City?
DOJ planes have been in Tulsa OK for the past several week days. We had no idea we were even important enough to be on DOJ's map. Could be anything though.
my bet is on Tinker AFB also. the SABRE Center is underneath Tinker AFB, it’s a nuke proof bunker facility that handles ALL Domestic/MIL air communications and traffic for CONUS.
The oklahoma IP is from searching for the term on certain federal computer networks, that's where google thinks our network is located, for whatever reason.
There's definitely a feeling in the air. I'm preparing myself to be let down, but even with bracing myself I'm still going to be disappointed if nothing happens.
WTF those National Guardsmen don't look at all fit! If China sees these 'defenders' of America they may very well rethink about invading because I'm thinking they'll think they have a chance!
If they are supposedly putting down an insurrection, they are likely to fail, and if they are there to arrest the Swamp, providing they aren't pointing guns even Pelosi could probably outrun 'em.
Have they abandoned all fitness standards? I know they are only 'weekend warriors' but I still thought they had to maintain a good level of fitness.
Have you already forgotten the recent episode with Indian troops quite literally beating to death a dozen or so Chinese troops. The Chinese aren’t known for their physical prowess pal
Dude have you seen the average member of the military? With the exception of the Marines, and to a greater extent, actual combat arms, the average military member is only in slightly better shape than the average civilian.
Marines can be weekend warriors too, js. Every branch of the military also has a reserve component, and I’ve seen fatties in every corner of it. The Marines do the best job of weeding them out however.
With all due respect, you and the guy above you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. I was NG for 13 years.
NG goes to all the same schools and maintains all the same standards as active duty, and they do that while also maintaining a civilian career. Many units were activated for all the sandbox wars.
Some shitbags? Sure. But I saw just as many active duty shitbags.
Many have seen combat But it depends on how active their NG is. My Brother went into Army ROTC for 4 years in College. Upon graduation he was sent to CA to language school to learn the Turkish language (Who knew in our family he had a knack for that?). He did his military stint then overseas in Turkey. Had a ball dickering in the Turkish markets for bargains with the natives. Of course, we were not in any major wars at the time. After he left active duty, he joined the Reserves. And he specifically sought to join active guard units. He was called up for the riots in LA, CA as he was located there at the time. He moved back to the east coast and while he was working in NJ. He decided to join an active guard unit in NY instead. He then moved to PA and joined an active guard group there. He volunteered to serve in Bosnia for a year with the Turkish Army. He was the only American there at the time. Following his return he was put in charge of a NG division in PA where half their forces were already in Iraq. A year later he himself ended up serving in Iraq under Geneal Patraeus. He returned stateside a year later. He stuck around for awhile in the guard but decided to retire only a few years ago.
Right. NG is organized into divisions, with the same personnel requirments of active duty divisions. Everything from infantry and armor to truck drivers and cooks.
If it's true, that we are now at COGCON 2, then POTUS, his family and Cabinet, and key government and military leaders are, or will soon be at, a secure facility outside of DC. Several places come to mind... possibly the no-longer "secret" place in Virginia, or at NORAD in Colorado, or that other place (can't recall what it's called right now) located in Texas. Everyone else, especially those politicians going to the DC "inauguration" (hehehehe...) are not considered essential and are subject to either arrest or whatever events are going to unfold there.
"POTUS will be well insulated/protected on AF1 and abroad (specific locations classified) while these operations are conducted due to the nature of the entrenchment."
Usually secretly go to COGCON 2 during the inauguration as all the main officials are all in one place (the inauguration). This seems early for that though, but I wouldn't know.
To all the skeptics, I agree with you, there is no source other than my lifelong friend who is active duty. I take his word very seriously and he would not lie to me. Just keep an eye on this.
he did mention it was a call that was only meant to go out to the boys in the capital, but appearently EVERYONE got it.
I served 20 years in the Air Force and never once heard of continuity of government levels or seen the acronym COGCON but then again I don't know shit about the Coast Guard.
Coast Guard operates under DHS not DoD, that may play a role? not certain. he said he only remembered COGCON from his FEMA classes when he first joined.
Can someone break down the reality of this? Is this a Biden thing being done to move the inauguration elsewhere? Or is this Trump moving the government to a secret location from which he can dispense righteous justice?!?!
It seems to me even though he is "President-Elect" at this point, he is essentially a private citizen as has about as much authority as me. Is that correct?
True dat...I read that this COGCON 2 was declared before last 2 inaugurations as well. Can't confirm (working) but that would mean it's not a precedent. Keep diggin! :)
If true, it makes me wonder if POTUS might make use of 'Directive 51'. Among "catastrophic emergencies" listed for its use is infrastructure - which includes elections. Much of Directive 51 is classified, so who knows? The WH cancelled their press briefing this morning (called a lid) just 30 minutes before the scheduled time, which was very unusual.
I'm not sure about JFK ever planning to implement something like this, but according to the Wikipedia page 'Directive 51' was signed by George W. Bush.
I searched "cogcon" on twatter and found this: https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1351221648389787651 (be mindful, I have no idea who this guy is or where he obtained this recording.) People have posted screenshots to text messages with the same information. The phone number these messages were sent from "is affiliated with an official notification system used by (at least) the US Coast Guard. This site lists this number. If you call the number you get the @AtHoc notification system."
Also from this guy's thread: "So either 1) the current US COGCON Level was set to “2,” and it hasn’t been reported by anyone, or 2) the@Blackberry @AtHoc system was hacked and used to send messages to at least some civilian targets as part of a disinfo campaign. Which is it?"
Info from this Dave Troy fellow may be disinformation so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems to back up what OP is saying
I'm not disputing that cogcon levels are real, I'm just putting up a disclaimer that I'm not sure if the reports from those twitter users are legit. I sure hope they are!
random question, theses 'fully staffed bunkers' are they permanently staffed? like during last 3 years of peace, have their been caretakers etc just going through their paces incase they are ever needed or does everyone move their at once when its time?
Yes, it's been reported by many people who got this alerts a few hours ago.
If it's true Cogcon1 is close behind. It's NOT the same as a defense condition. We are at DEFCON 5 right now which is good.
Coast Guard is funded through DHS ever since it was transferred from Dept. of Transportation to DHS I believe late 90's. I retired in 1994 from Coast Guard. Their responsible for Port Security, Inland Waterways, Maritime Law Enforcement, Fisheries, Ice Breaking etc. They come under Navy in time of War!
If you thought disinformation here was bad, just wait until you see the tactics used there. Think TDW with a hostile moderation team and 24/7 emotional/sexual demoralization threads.
But you'll also get a slightly less filtered look at the world. Less of a rally there, more of a battleground. Good luck.
lol if you're saying /pol/ is comfy, with its obligatory "white girls were built for BBC" threads (with complimentary images), then that says more about you than it does of pol
This is hot on 4chan right now. Keep us updated. Can you ask your friend if there are any rumors, did his commander/superior already inform him of the precise nature of the situation?
I can confirm this message was sent out. I asked my "friend" if he had ever heard this term. He said yes got the message this morning. He said he was not giving away any military secrets. He said the media is sacred to run the story.
We have no way of knowing this is true, but if it is... DAMN!
i’m actually in OK and that zipcode is OKC, our Capital. we have NG there right now.
Isn't OKC now in the territory of an Native American tribe?
no, technically the Indian Territory is “Creek County” it’s a neighbor to Tulsa County.
If have to double check, but I think "CONAIR" is based in OKC.
There was that unverified post floating around too that the mayor of OKC had been briefed that there were arrests going to be taking place. Wonder if that rumor actually had some substance to it? If so my question is why the hell Oklahoma City?
Oklahoma City. Pretty close to dead center of the US. Could they be cleaning out the new US Capitol to get it ready.
DOJ planes have been in Tulsa OK for the past several week days. We had no idea we were even important enough to be on DOJ's map. Could be anything though.
DC is full of occult and secret society symbolism. Would be a good idea to grab out the important stuff and bulldoze the rest.
But would you put the Capitol in the dead center of the continental US, where presumably it is the best location to discharge an EMP?
Considering OK is the Redist State of the Union maybe it will be Central Command?
Why was it bombed in 1995? There must be something going on there. It it very centralized geographically.
HRC whitewater papers were in the building that got bombed. no case after that.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are all over that city.
Conspiracy says the building was blown up to destroy records/files the DS/Clinton didn't want found. McVey was the stooge used.
OKC (the whole 35 corridor but especially OKC) is the human trafficking ground zero in the U.S.
Whaaa???
FYI - 73101 is Oklahoma City area, and could be around Tinker Air Force Base. Note: I am in the Tulsa area and this is the first I've heard of COGCON.
ayye glad to see another Tulsan here.
my bet is on Tinker AFB also. the SABRE Center is underneath Tinker AFB, it’s a nuke proof bunker facility that handles ALL Domestic/MIL air communications and traffic for CONUS.
73101 is in OKC downtown area. Most of downtown is 73102. I am about 4 miles from downtown and I am 73107. I agree with Tinker, home of the AWAC’s!
makes sense why people would need to google it then.
Username DEFINITELY checks out!
The oklahoma IP is from searching for the term on certain federal computer networks, that's where google thinks our network is located, for whatever reason.
And the dark state smiles thinking all this protection is for their virtual inauguration on the Capitol.
yep. my buddy said it was supposed to only go out to the troops in DC but he said everyone he knows got the call.
I believe ya. There's tons of chatter all around because everyone knows something is up. Not surprising for this to happen right now.
There's definitely a feeling in the air. I'm preparing myself to be let down, but even with bracing myself I'm still going to be disappointed if nothing happens.
Coast guard is littoral and Washington d.c. has Potomac coastline.
Coast Guard patrols the Potomac frequently. Patrols usually increase around an inauguration as well.
Coast Guard HQ is in Washington DC! I was stationed right across the street from Ft. MC Nair at CG HQ in 1981. It was called Buzzard's Point!

China sees them and it will see us too. They come, we offer them rice and fish and they'll flip sides.
Dude have you seen the average member of the military? With the exception of the Marines, and to a greater extent, actual combat arms, the average military member is only in slightly better shape than the average civilian.
They are only the NG genius.... They are weekend warriors.... They aren't Marines
Marines can be weekend warriors too, js. Every branch of the military also has a reserve component, and I’ve seen fatties in every corner of it. The Marines do the best job of weeding them out however.
Prob still better than china's army. Look up TFLGlobal on ytubes. They are based out of India. They have battle with China's soldiers all the time.
Also, I don't think that Chicom soldiers is what we'd be up against.
Plus, how bout we not disrespect these service members?
That last sentence, so true. So much respect for anyone putting themselves out there.
With all due respect, you and the guy above you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. I was NG for 13 years.
NG goes to all the same schools and maintains all the same standards as active duty, and they do that while also maintaining a civilian career. Many units were activated for all the sandbox wars.
Some shitbags? Sure. But I saw just as many active duty shitbags.
Lose the 1960’s mind set.
Many have seen combat But it depends on how active their NG is. My Brother went into Army ROTC for 4 years in College. Upon graduation he was sent to CA to language school to learn the Turkish language (Who knew in our family he had a knack for that?). He did his military stint then overseas in Turkey. Had a ball dickering in the Turkish markets for bargains with the natives. Of course, we were not in any major wars at the time. After he left active duty, he joined the Reserves.

Not everyone in the NG is infantry either.
Right. NG is organized into divisions, with the same personnel requirments of active duty divisions. Everything from infantry and armor to truck drivers and cooks.
Just like in Rambo...weekend warriors have a job, wife, kids, and love handles to prove it.

Wow, corroborates the recent changes to DHS and FEMA.

Reads like a 4 hour call to me. Not a relocation until COGCON 1
Q drop #35
"POTUS will be well insulated/protected on AF1 and abroad (specific locations classified) while these operations are conducted due to the nature of the entrenchment."
My guess for safest place would be Raven Rock at camp david. It's a bunker version of the whitehouse that is safer than all of the ones you mentioned
Agree and I would expect that.
Usually secretly go to COGCON 2 during the inauguration as all the main officials are all in one place (the inauguration). This seems early for that though, but I wouldn't know.

FEMA classes? Yeah they definitely fall under DHS then. If what you are saying is true then shit just got even more interesting.....
COGCON. the FEMA link that has been posted has the graphic in it.
Raven Rock by Garrett Graff is a great book
You’re welcome :)
Can someone break down the reality of this? Is this a Biden thing being done to move the inauguration elsewhere? Or is this Trump moving the government to a secret location from which he can dispense righteous justice?!?!
Biden has no authority.
It seems to me even though he is "President-Elect" at this point, he is essentially a private citizen as has about as much authority as me. Is that correct?
At this point Biden is nothing more than a regular citizen with Secret Service.
He has no more authority than the onion peels in my garbage pail. So less authority than you, actually.
True dat...I read that this COGCON 2 was declared before last 2 inaugurations as well. Can't confirm (working) but that would mean it's not a precedent. Keep diggin! :)

He will have plenty of authority.

Wasn't this originally a directive from JFK but it never got implemented since he was assassinated?
I'm not sure about JFK ever planning to implement something like this, but according to the Wikipedia page 'Directive 51' was signed by George W. Bush.
"a lid" has to be the most annoying communication development of the 2020 election lifecycle. Maybe the term existed prior, but I had never heard it.
It was mostly insider media speak until Biden called one almost every day for months & it then became commonplace.
Like "gravitas"
It's a national holiday. Only essential personnel are at work.
Is this the movement of Pence and Pelosi
I think it may be as crazy nance has wittered on about the continuity of govt previously
I have to ask do we k ow if this is a normal thing when administrations are changing?
Rhetorical question; Does anything happening in DC right now appear "normal" in any way, shape, or form?
I guess huuge if true!!

I have a brother in the Army and he says he's gotten nothing.
Edit: Also heard from the other in the Navy and he's gotten nothing too.
Army has to have congressional approval. There’s a reason only certain branches are being activated right now.
Coast Guard doesn't need it then? I see
Coast Guard is funded through DHS ever since it was transferred from Dept. of Transportation to DHS I believe late 90's. I retired in 1994 from Coast Guard.

It’s true. COGCON 2. Never got it before for any inauguration.
well that would be part of the RED progression

I can confirm this message was sent out. I asked my "friend" if he had ever heard this term. He said yes got the message this morning. He said he was not giving away any military secrets. He said the media is sacred to run the story.
So does that mean the swamp creatures scurry away to be safe?
