Top international military officials meet in Adirondacks

SARANAC LAKE - Powerful generals and admirals from some of the most powerful nations on Earth are reportedly meeting somewhere in the local area this weekend after flying into the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear on Friday.

Among the passengers of a large Boeing 757 airplane with "United States of America" printed on its fuselage were top members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and their counterparts from France, Germany and another country, possibly Great Britain, according to Barry DeFuria, a town of Harrietstown councilman and Airport Committee member who was there when the plane landed. A top military delegation from Italy flew in on a separate Falcon airplane, DeFuria said.

Town Supervisor Larry Miller, also on the Airport Committee, was also there and confirmed which nations' officials were on which planes, but he said he did not know what kind of officials they were or where they were going from the airport. He said he and DeFuria had to get security clearances to be present and that soldiers were guarding the 757 around the clock at the airport.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is the leadership council of the U.S. military, comprised of the top general or admiral of each branch of the armed services. Its current chairman is Admiral Michael Mullen.

According to DoD.mil Admiral Mullen is in Belgrade Yugoslavia.

But also according to that site, The Italian Minister of Defense is in the US for talks with SecDef Gates. Perhaps the military chiefs are meeting with their opposite numbers as part of that visit? Here are the captions to several photos on DoD. mil>

Perhaps they're here to build his million man federal police force.

Cross-index this fact with Biden's quote from yesterday:

"Mark my words: it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate [ ... ] And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right.
[ ... ]
"Gird your loins. We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It's like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.
"I've forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I'm not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it. This guy has it. But he's gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now, I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us.
"There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision', because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound.
"We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly, in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes. It's so much more important than that. It's so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it."

I read this as: Secret powers-that-be-are going to cook up a crisis intended to destroy the Obama presidency. Fortunately, Obama is a genius of rare insight who has already grasped the essential problems at the base of the coming crisis. Based upon these insights, Obama will make certain decisions during the first two years of his presidency that will be wildly unpopular with the American people. These decisions will be of profound impact and will address the "systemic problems" of the global economy, as well as our doomed military situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in a way that will cause even his hard-core backers to doubt him. Biden is urging Obama's staunchest backers to wield their influence to swing public opinion Obama's way when the crisis comes.

'Nuff said.

How about Fort Drum? Nice, big, lots of land to do military training exercises and show off the latest tools and toys. It's amazing how something simply innocuous gets twisted by conspiracy theorist into something unrecognizable.

Ft. Drum has it's own runway, Wheeler-Sack AAF, at least as big as the regional airport's at Lake Clear, which is a good 90 miles from Ft. Drum.

But the very fact that they did not go to Ft. Drum, probably indicates that nothing more than an "offsite" "get to know each other" meeting is going on. If they wanted security and secrecy, they might have flown into the military airfield, and not in that big gaudy Special Air Missions (Presidential fleet) C-32 from the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews.

So What Were Top Military Commanders From The US and Europe Doing at the Trudeau Institute?

Last Weekend the top military brass from the US and Europe met together in Saranac Lake NY.

So? You may well ask

Interesting article I thought, but my ears really perked up when i was contacted by a member of the David Icke Forum, Lovelitious, who provided the following information.

'Well, in January 2008 Bush signed into being the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 (H.R. 2638), which includes $1.6 million in additional research funding to support a joint program between scientists at the Trudeau Institute and the U.S. Navy to develop a pandemic influenza vaccine.'

The Trudeau is also located at Saranac Lake NY

The Director of the Trudeau Institute is Ralph Steinman

Ralph M. Steinman is Henry G. Kunkel Professor at The Rockefeller University and a senior physician at The Rockefeller University Hospital, is a cell biologist whose research focuses on the immune system including the human immune system in the setting of several diseases.

On October 1st, the same day that Bush activated the 1st Brigade domestically, the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services released a disturbing "Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act":

Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Secretary

Declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act October 1, 2008

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health and Human Services

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Declaration pursuant to section 319F-3 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d-6d) to provide targeted liability protections for anthrax countermeasures based on a credible risk that the threat of exposure to Bacillus anthracis and the resulting disease constitutes a public health emergency.

I have seen Seven Days In May dozens of times. What a great flick.

That being said: The days of military mavericks such as Gen. Thomas Power, and Gen. Curtis LeMay are long gone. You may be certain that, if it ever comes down to it, our military establishment will follow the orders of the Commander In Chief, no matter what those orders might entail. It's part of military culture: civilian authority makes the decisions, military authority implements them, no ifs, ands, or buts.

There can be no ECOMCON in reality. To an American military man, the idea of mutiny against civilian authority is literally unthinkable. Orders are orders, and are obeyed — period.

The way things are going, I’d rather hedge on something along the globalist lines.

Especially since Biden says they are going to be doing things that we will not want to trust them on in the first sixth months,

and Colin Powell, a big globalist himself, saying Obama is and will be a ‘transformational’ character,

and given Obama wants us to give welfare to the world and to back it up put forth the Globap Poverty act,

and that we seem to want to bailout foreign banks and need more participants to buy our debt to keep the dollar ponzi scheme working.

I think people are starting to put the NWO plans in place and use Barack as the transformational candidate that does it. They have to take America down, and he’s going to be the guy that oversees it.
