White Hats Clash with Feds Over Nuke Drills in New York

White Hats and FBI agents clashed in New York State Monday as the eternally corrupt bureau conducted “nuke drills” amid fears of World War III.

On Sunday, the feds began large-scale nuclear incident exercises in the Empire State, with the stated intent of “responding to a nuclear incident in the United States or overseas.” The scope of the operation ranges from far upstate New York to Long Island south of Manhattan.

Alongside soldiers from Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division, the FBI and Nuclear Regulatory Commission experts are simulating saving irradiated citizens caught in a nuclear catastrophe.

But as the exercise got underway Sunday afternoon, 10th Mountain Division soldiers in Schenectady noticed something peculiar:

FBI agents, including two Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, carried weapons loaded with live rounds, whereas they, the soldiers, had been ordered to carry only blanks in their guns, their observation based on the color of the tape around the bottom of magazines.

The different colored tape strips wrapped around the bottom of magazines for military firearms serve as a visual identification system to quickly convey important information about the magazine’s contents.

Blue, or sometimes green, signifies a magazine is loaded but with blanks or non-lethal ammunition; red indicates live rounds.

Why the FEDS and NRC personnel carried weapons at all baffled the soldiers, and the live ammo caused them great concern because their maneuvers took place not only in frozen fields but also in densely populated towns.

When soldiers asked the feds why they felt it necessary to wield live rounds on an exercise, the latter reportedly replied, “Because we’ve been authorized to. You’re here to support our mission, not the other way around, so don’t ask questions.”

The feds’ hostility irritated the soldiers, who voiced their frustration to Major General Scott M. Naumann, commander of the 10th Mountain Division.

Per soldiers interviewed by Real Raw News, Major Naumann hadn’t been told the feds would be equipped with live ammunition and that he promised to investigate the matter.

Infuriated, Major Naumann passed his unease up the ethereal military echelon until it reached the ears of General Eric M. Smith, whose Marines had a history of less than cordial encounters with federal agents.

A source in his office told RRN that the general deployed a Marine squad to Schenectady to confirm the soldiers’ reports, even though they had shown him a video showing the red-taped magazines.

When the Marines arrived in Schenectady and Albany on Monday, the feds weren’t pleased to see them and rebuked requests to inspect their firearms.

“It’s not our fault we have ammo and you don’t,” an FBI special agent told a Marine lieutenant in Schenectady.

“You sound like a ‘whining Karen.’ Haven’t you heard? Kash Patel will oversee shit now, so cry me a river and bitch to your boss if you want live ammo.”

The Marines displayed their rifles, which had no tape around the magazines. “If it escaped you, we’re not 10th Mountain,” the Marine lieutenant said.

“But we are observing.”

Besides observing, the Marines reported their findings to Gen. Smith, who shared the information with President Trump.

“From what I’ve heard, President Trump didn’t know the FBI was walking around with live ammo in rifles, and for the safety of all involved, he told interim FBI Director Brian Driscoll that if military assets weren’t carrying lethal ammo, then the feds couldn’t either,” a source in Gen. Smith’s office said.

Within two hours, the feds—at least the ones the Marines scrutinized—begrudgingly switched from live rounds to blanks, complaining that the edict might jeopardize the lives of federal agents.

“So, the FBI was upset, big deal. They felt citizens might still be upset at the Mar-a-Lago raid and whatnot and still seek retribution. We’re finding ourselves in unprecedented times; we’re supposed to ally with a force we’ve been fighting. It’s confusing. We’re trying to wrap our heads around it. We don’t oppose peaceful coexistence, but it has to be genuine,” our source said.
