The software company, Swan Island Networks,  http://www.swanisland.net has close ties to NORTHCOM and NSA. Use search term "NORTHCOM" here at Portland Indymedia for extensive information about NORTHCOM and martial law http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/322932.shtml.
Noble Resolve may or may not become a "live" drill. The more it is publicized, the less likely we will have a 10 kiloton nuke detonated here. The threat of martial law remains regardless.
Here is one quick idea.. sense so many emergency response personnel
died in 9/11 we could appeal to some that we turn Noble Resolve from
a nuke mock event to a how to resist dictatorship from within. We
could get neighborhoods or districts to set up Truth Centers or
Truth Sit-Ins. Resources on non violent actions:

Noble Resolve seems like a shake-down drill, TOPOFF4 is much more "staffed" to go live.
