I'm in danger of becoming paranoid, I know, but paranoids have enemies too.

Take this, for example.

DHS is running counter-terrorism exercises at Busch Stadium here in St. Louis.

Now that seems prudent; it's a likely place for a terrorist attack.

BUT

They also did this

They conducted counter-terrorism exercises in St. Charles County. St. Charles County is pure suburbia, a series of bedroom communites with little in the way of large-gathering places.

It IS a heavily Republican county, though.

So what is happening? I suspect they are preparing for trouble next year, and are targeting potential right-wing protests when they pull whatever they have planned, be it vote fraud or something even nastier.

St. Charles county never had a mask mandate, for instance, during the Pandemic. So now DHS is teaching their people how to seize control of the county.

Which makes the Busch Stadium situation all lthe more interesting. Are they worried about keeping stadium-goers safe or are they preparing for major protests?  If so, why?

Missouri, with it's supermajority of Republicans and it's key central location with river and rail centers, would be critical to securing the country in the event of a mass uprising. They would need both St. Louis and St. Charles to secure the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

Missouri would be a key state they would need to secure in the event things turned ugly.

Again, I may just be paranoid, but there is a rather unsavory odor to this at this time.
