While we are "watching Cindy"...4 Star Gen is fired..nuke drill on 8-17
Key General fired as nuke terror drill set for Aug 17

News is flying in regard to the nuclear terror drill set for this month. It is feared by informed researchers that an actual nuclear detonation may be piggybacked on the drill, as was the modus operandi in the 9/11 and 7/7 inside jobs.

As reported at this site, the drill involving a nuclear warhead being smuggled into Charleston, South Carolina is to involve the Atlanta-area FEMA office and be run out of Fort Monroe, Virginia. Today, the four-star general in charge of Fort Monroe was fired. Anonymously-sourced and speculative reports on the leading alternative media websites posited General Kevin Byrnes was fired for attempting to prevent the drill from going live. (See Lehrman/Physics911.net, Szymanski/Arctic Beacon, Jones,Watson/PrisonPlanet, Skolnick/Cloak&Dagger.

Now a Washington Times report, also anonymously-sourced, highlights the flimsy basis on which he was fired -- adultery. Not the Jeff Gannon kind of military adultery popular in the White House; but involvement, while separated from his wife, with a woman in a separate command. It also turns out Rumsfeld tried to chase him out the military three years ago. Looks like he finally found a pretext.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Fort Monroe was General Byrnes´ base.

The Charleston, SC terror drill was on a news release out of Fort Monroe dated June 29, 2005.

The Fort Monroe, VA terror drill was announced via the post newspaper "Casemate" on August 5, 2005.

General Byrnes fired August 9, 2005.



A Four Star General (4th in US Command) is NOT fired for "adultery".

War games and drill are being played....much like there was on 911.

3. Where are our legislators?
Should they not have knowledge of these things? Not one Dem has been in front of a camera saying anything worthwhile this entire week, except mouthing platitudes and inane crap that, in sum, add up to zero content.

WTF do we have to do to build a fire under those in positions to actually DO something?

4. In NYC we had a chemical weapons drill this week
Penn station had more cops in front of it than a donut convention at the Javitts Center.

No chemical attack followed ...

food for thought.

5. That's what I was wondering.
How many drills have we had that weren't followed by any attacks? I know our local depts have drills at least once a year, and we haven't had anything like that happen. It feels like availability bias.

8. My school had fire drills every month. Never had a fire.
But I guess that's not quite the same.

No. Really isn't.

Never mind.

BWI Airport & somewhere in Frederick, MD! I'm sick about this.

Where are our Democrat Congressional leaders? All on vacation. Wasn't * on vacation during 9/11. Wasn't bLair doing the same thing during recent British attacks?

This has me scared to death. No one believes it. They're saying no way. I say "way."

11. There have been several other threads about this, including the one that
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 12:47 PM by BrklynLiberal
had this post:


a Washington policy brawl has erupted into public view, over the Bush Administration's now-confirmed contingency plans to stage a pre-emptive military strike against Iran—possibly using nuclear weapons. The report that Vice President Dick Cheney had tasked the Strategic Command (STRATCOM) to develop military contingencies for a massive aerial bombardment campaign against Iran, in the event of a new 9/11 attack, was first revealed in The American Conservative magazine's Aug. 1 edition. The story highlighted the likely use of nuclear weapons, and the widespread military opposition to the pre-emptive nuclear war scheme.

Since that initial story by former CIA officer Philip Giraldi, this news service has confirmed the accuracy of the report from a significant number of horrified U.S. government officials—from Senators on both sides of the aisle, to military officers, diplomats, and spies. One former U.S. ambassador in the Persian Gulf reported that he had received angry reports from officials of the Central Command (CENTCOM), who have been tasked as part of the contingency planning.

Another military source suggested that there are probably pre-positioned tactical nuclear weapons at the U.S. military base at Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, under the new military reorganization, which created a "Global Strike" plan for rapid, massive assaults anywhere on the planet.

The bottom line: Vice President Cheney, the architect of the pre-emptive nuclear attack plan, has gone stark raving mad, and is prepared to bring the world to the brink of chaos, before he is driven from power. .... Lyndon LaRouche describes Cheney's state of mind as "like Hitler in the bunker."

23. I'll keep this on the back burner for a while.
Just remember, if something does go down anyone who is aware of these stories will be drowned out by the ensuing horror of another attack, only to be labeled conspiracy theorist(ie. crackpots) in the aftermath. Just remember, the plan to attack Iran is in place and they've been saying that all it would take is another 9/11 style event.

From this DU thread about this subject last night:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2007817&mesg_id=2007835

I found it curious that Sen. Sarbanes has a lengthy letter entitled "Nuclear Terror Drill To Go Live" about this same subject posted up on his website:

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/userletter/?letter_id=449642146&content_dir=congressorg

Maybe he's leaving it up on his site as "proof" in case something does happen.
