Yeah, I have heard some people talk about the disaster-preparedness exercises thing.
It still seems stupid, but perhaps less stupid than a "secret" society advertising itself to the public with covert symbols in music videos. It does make some sense that if the government were to carry out an actual terrorist threat, they would have to simulate it at some point in advance. The part that doesn't make sense there is a.) why would it have to be so close to the real exercise, and b.) if they can't do a better job of keeping a training exercise secret, how could they possibly keep their involvement in the real thing a secret?
