A vehicle reaching speeds of over 60mph slammed the front entrance of the Edgewater Hotel and Casino in NV, killing 3 people and injuring 8. There is a two mile stretch of road leading directly to the entrance from SR 95. No bollards (pictured left) were in front of the casino entrance to stop such a vehicle. The incident happened at 9:40am and check out time is 11:00am.
People in the restaurants directly under the incident were not evacuated and were told to avoid the entrance to the casino but not told why. Hundreds of homeless people frequent both sides of the river and crime is at an all time high. Many homeless live in their vehicles or use bicycles.
Barrels of explosives washing up on the shores of Israel
2/3/10
Barrels of explosives fitted with waterproof cell phone detonation devices have washed up on the shores of Israel three times in the last week. These floating IED's were suspected of targeting the Israel Navy. Experts now believe the devices might have been targeting crowds of people on beach's in the area. None of the devices have exploded.
Laughlin NV
Security officers inspect the entrance of the Edgewater Hotel & Casino the day after a motorist slammed the lobby killing two people. Laughlin located in Clark County is part of Las Vegas Police jurisdiction some 100 miles away. Most emergency resources are located in Bullhead City, just across the Colorado River. One bridge links the two cities and despite 3,500 layoffs in Laughlin. Bullhead City AZ recently blocked efforts to build a second bridge to Laughlin NV.
Planning a convention, seminar, reunion, wedding, event or gathering in any city should also include emergency planning and threat assessment. This 150ft road leading up to the Edgewater Hotel and Casino is actually 3 to 4 miles long ending at SR 95. The vehicle that slammed the entrance killing three people blew through the red light, leading to the 150ft driveway entrance at speeds of over 60mph. The vehicle went directly through the glass front doors and into the Hotel lobby.

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr., and Emergency Operation Center Incident Commander Johnny Johnson made an aerial assessment of part of the Navajo Reservation affected by the recent winter storms. Clear skies allowed for the assessment over Crystal, Wheatfield, Black Mesa, Leupp and New Mexico communities on Sunday.
The Emergency Operation Center (EOC) Incident Command is calling for cooperation and coordination with counties and chapter governments to avoid duplication of efforts to assist high risk residents of the Navajo Nation. The priority is to have access to high risk individuals and to keep main roads clear.
The EOC is also concerned with school district activities that continue for the week during the inclement weather. Deep snow and muddy roads may hamper school bus operations.
This includes concern with getting students to the roads from areas that are snowed in.
Chapter governments are encouraged to continue assisting the communities using emergency funds. Regulations encumbering emergency funds were relaxed by tribal officials as the Incident Command System was activated on Jan. 21. Chapter and grazing officials are also expected to assist Community Health Representatives with assessments. Community members are encouraged to work with their respective chapter when requesting assistance. Chapter governments have been alerted to keep chapter houses open during the weather emergency.
Necessary travel to and from remote locations is advised for the early morning hours with return trips late in the evening when the ground freezes over. Travelers are advised not to travel alone, and to be sure and carry safety and survival equipment such as shovel, tire chains, extra winter clothing, winter shoes, blanket, flashlights with extra batteries, a battery operated radio, cell phones with power supply, extra cell phone, matches, and emergency phone numbers.
The Navajo Emergency Operation Center is open and in full operation. The phone number is (928) 871- 6883, 871-6918 and 871-7083.
Some Navajo Nation Indians, unable to travel because of muddy roads and icy conditions, are choosing not to eat air-dropped ready-to-eat meals because they can’t understand the cooking instructions.
Nearly 40,000 meals were dropped from helicopters to stranded residents on the sprawling reservation covering Arizona and New Mexico.
Selena Manychildren, spokeswoman for the Navajo Nation Emergency Operation Center, said the problem is the instructions are written in English and many elderly living in isolated areas either can’t read or can’t understand them.
“It is difficult for people who have never had them, and grandma and grandpa can’t read,” Manychildren said.
“There’s a diagram, but you have to understand a little bit about them before it makes sense. People are saying, ‘Gee, what the heck, how do I use this?’”
The meals can be consumed hot or cold, and include powdered drinks that require adding water, but people who lack English reading skills have chosen not to eat them.
“It’s really not ready to eat,” Manychildren said. “It takes some preparation, and people don’t want to bother with it. They don’t understand it.”
Crews delivered more than 3,300 cases of meals. The food comes 12 packages per case and contain a variety of foods, including spaghetti, chicken, macaroni and cheese, vegetables and desserts.
From planes, crews located people or communities needing supplies and alerted helicopter crews to make drops.
Some snowbound residents used mirrors or strips of red fabric to signal aircraft, according to reports from the emergency operations center.
How to subdue a TERRORIST
Subduing a combative human being is not an easy task. To depend on citizens to do this without any training or restraints is a scary thought. Here is your guide to subduing a human being.
Correctional Officers have been subduing unruly inmates for years. Police sometimes use dogs or stun guns to subdue a criminal. Mental hospitals have used firemen and private security to help subdue unruly patients.
Here is the basics of their 5 man team training.
1. 1st man grabs body
2. 2nd man grabs right arm
3. 3rd man grabs left arm
4. 4th man grabs legs
5. 5th man puts on restraints
If your on an airplane you cannot exit or hide an attack. If you want to help out grab an arm or leg and hold on and hopefully others will help out. Without restraints you will have to make restraints out of shoe strings, luggage straps or ripped clothing.
Why join a MILITIA
I have been traveling to major US cities meeting with members and asking questions about what people would do in a NATIONAL EMERGENCY or TERRORIST ATTACK. 99% of the public are not prepared or have the wrong preparations. Most people in the Rocky Mountain region have a false security of retreating to the mountains during an emergency. Allot of people said they will never leave their homes no matter what happens. Most survivalist have the wrong preparations in their survival gear and supplies.
The first part of any plan is to set up a command center. I have run many command centers during emergencies with NO equipment at all not even a computer. A command center is simply a safe point to make logical decisions during a crises.
The next step is to set up an Incident management system or IMS. I have been an Incident Commander in over 50 critical incidents. An IMS is simply a plan to rapidly think through a critical incident until it is resolved.
I have been checking thousands of web sites for survivalist and militias. 99% of the information is CRAZY or for hate mongers. Should these people or groups experience the real problems of an actual crises, they simply cannot survive. With all the wrong equipment and training they will need the help of prepared militias and survivalist to make it through a crises. Most of the ill prepared people will without a doubt try to take what they need from prepared citizens.
Our disaster parties in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada have been a huge success. People are getting the word out and making the RIGHT preparations. If you would like to attend one of our disaster parties or would like more information JOIN OUR MAILING LIST, it's free.
Here is a list of some of bigger events and mismanaged IMS since 1999
Columbine High School - Jefferson County Sheriffs Department began shredding evidence of prior knowledge of the attack at the same time funeral perpetration were being made for students. These same leaders are now running for political offices in Colorado.
911 - Security guards at the World Trade Center ordered office workers back to their offices and supervisors of first responders ordered over 500 firemen and police personnel into the towers.
911 - Thousands of travelers in Las Vegas were stranded after the airports were shut down. When they returned to their hotels the cost of rooms had gone up as much as twice what they had paid the night before. Many travelers were turned away from hotels that were full within hours and had been booked by travelers.
911 - Hundreds of airport travelers were detained in airports without water or bathrooms for up to 8 hours.
New Orleans flooding - While the list is a mile long some important aspects of the event should be noted by survivalist. Citizens were forced to disarm and evacuate. Soldiers and law enforcement armed with fully automatic weapons patrolled the area. Law enforcement officers abandoned their jobs early on in the event.
Virginia Tech - School administrators canceled trash pick-up and notified friends and family of a gunman on campus before students were notified.
Ft Hood - A terrorist attack by a soldier and Dr could have been prevented by the dozens of warning signs he set off prior to the attack.
Nigerian Christmas Bomber 2009 - All Homeland Security systems failed and a terrorist was allowed to board a plane with a bomb and tried to detonate it from his seat located over the planes fuel tanks. The terrorists family had warned officials that their son was dangerous.
The list of mismanaged incidents is rapidly growing. The Phoenix Militia now has over 200 members nationwide. Were planning survival strategies including

Raw botulinum toxin, a key ingredient in Botox, is one of the world's deadliest materials and with the proliferation of a Botox black market, officials are worried the toxin might fall into the wrong hands, the Washington Post reports.
Each vial of Botox, the serum commonly used to treat migraines, facial tics and wrinkles, contains a tiny amount of the raw toxin--certainly not enough to cause harm. In fact, "the amount of poison in a prescribed dose is so small that a determined terrorist would have to obtain hundreds of vials at $400 each to kill even a single person," explains the Washington Post. But when the raw toxin is undiluted, just a tiny drop can kill a 150-pound adult and it's so lethal that it has been banned in the United States, the then-USSR and Iraq.
Al-Qaeda has reportedly looked to purchase raw botulinum toxin in the past to contaminate food and water supplies.
A study by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies showed that a biologist with $2,000-worth of equipment could produce a gram of the toxin, which would be enough to kill thousands of people.
"But you don't even have to make it [yourself]," physician and biodefense expert Kenneth Coleman told the Washington Post. "You can buy it from existing manufacturers. And you can buy it in sufficient quantity to cause widespread harm."
Who would sell the toxin to terrorists? Right now, a major problem for investigators is tracking where the black market Botox is made and where the raw toxin is coming from. Most of the websites that sell discount Botox are attached to fake addresses and the toxin could be created in a small-sized lab.
