The Santa Barbara Police Department is confirming a letter announcing the mobilization of the National Guard is fake.
The department became aware of a letter circulating throughout the community that appeared to be from the National Guard warning of a federally imposed quarantine of two weeks. The letter stated the National Guard will close all businesses and require residents to stay in their homes to envoke the “Stafford Act.”
“The Santa Barbara Police Department has reached out to the California National Guard and the California Office of Emergency Services — both agencies deem the letter FAKE,” stated Public Information Officer Anthony Wagner.
A copy of the fake letter is provided below:
This was probably leaked by The Orange Mob Boss.
Maybe, just maybe, it is real but the government now is hiding their tracks and trying to dispel the rumor?? could be an ordered cover-up of a government covert action.. 😉 ,?
This is nothing to joke about.
Telltale signs it’s a fake: all the errors. Improper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spacing. The word “evoke” instead of the intended “invoke”. Plus, what formal document ends with “Please forward to your family/friends?” Just someone putting the false scare out there to rile people up.
The waving flag motifs are another.
The real government is hiding it’s tracks alright: Take a look at the legistlation quietly being passed or disabled in the Senate while people are distracted worrying about the epidemic.
Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming…..
True, but what makes anyone think that the National Guard or the government, for that matter, has good grammar.
