The Portland nuclear exercises have begun today, Monday, October 15, and they will last all week. I will be giving regular updates via broadcast and Internet radio on the scenario and any updates. I have two scheduled interviews for today, and one on Thursday, October 18. I give all times in Pacific Standard Time, as the exercises are of most interest to people in that zone:

October 15, 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. (PST): interview with Barbara Jean, host, Born on the Fourth of July (KTKK, AM 630): www.k-talk.com/default.asp

October 15, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. (PST): interview with Carol Brouilet, host, Questioning War -- Organizing Resistance (We the People Radio Network): questioningwar-organizingresistance.blogspot.com/

October 18, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. (PST): interview with Jim Fetzer, host, The Dynamic Duo (Genesis Communications Network): www.gcnlive.com/listenlive.htm -- on Network 4

TOPOFF / Vigilant Shield: Urgent Update

Alarming news about the just-begun TOPOFF and Vigilant Shield emerged yesterday in the local lapdog newspaper, The Oregonian:

"Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will be in town to personally oversee the exercise..." [Terror exercise is all set to blast Portland, by Joseph Rose]

Saturday, the day before Rose's article appeared, my satirical article, A Nuclear Nightmare -- The Portland Plan, was widely published. In it I placed archvillain Dick Cheney in Portland to personally oversee the exercises that were to go live. The appearance of archvillain Michael Chertoff on the scene is an uncomfortable parallel to my worst-case scenario. If you haven't seen the article, and would like to, there is a fine version at The Price of Liberty: www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/10/15/may.htm

Many thanks for all the help I have received from so many in my mission of conscience, which has assumed the form of a public affairs effort to make the American people aware of these dangerous terror exercises.

Best regards,

Captain Eric H. May
