Truth to Power

Wanna get scared?

In a seemingly unrelated incident, Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes, a four-star general was abruptly relieved from his command this past week. In a comment on the incident, the Washington Post reported that it was “apparently the only such demotion of a four-star general in modern times” and went on to state that “if there is a justification, it had better involve national security at the very highest level”. There has been a lot of speculation about the cause for Gen. Byrnes demotion because the stated reason, adultery, seems insufficient as pointed out by the Post when compared with crimes such as torture. Byrnes, then separated and now divorced, was having an affair with a female civilian and only months away from retirement. However, he headed the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command which has a nuclear incident drill in process in Charleston, SC. According to the NORTHCOM website NORTHCOM website, “Here’s the scenario. A seafaring vessel transporting a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead makes its way into . . . Charleston, S.C. Terrorists aboard the ship attempt to smuggle the warhead off the ship to detonate it. Is this really a possibility?” Several journalists have now implicated this planned nuclear drill in Gen. Bynes demotion.

According to reporter Greg Szymanski, anonymous military sources said that Brynes was the leader of a faction that was preparing to instigate a coup against the neo-con hawks in an attempt to prevent further global conflict.

And reporter Leland Lehrman is quoted saying that “army sources, including a former Captain in intelligence,” told Lehrman that the imminent Northcom nuclear terror exercise based in Charleston, S.C, where a nuclear warhead is smuggled off a ship and detonated, was originally intended to ‘go live’ – as in the drill would be used as the cover for a real false flag staged attack. </i>
