Top international military officials meet in Adirondacks
By PETER CROWLEY, Enterprise Managing EditorArticle Photos
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.

You have to read Nelson DeMille's novel "Wild Fire" then you will understand what is going on. There is very secret exclusive hunting camp, known only to the most powerful, just across the St. Lawrence County line and the Adirondack Airport is the closest place to fly into.

***********nolanchart****/article5188.html; this is probably their agenda: READ site Executive Order 10995: All communications media will be taken over by federal authority: radio, television, websites, newspapers, even CB and Ham radio systems. Freedom of expression, otherwise known as the First Amendment will be canceled until further notice. Executive Order 10997: All fossil fuels, related substances as well as all electrical power,..... Executive Order 10998: All food, means to produce such food and related products and machinery, warehouses and collectives which obviously include corporate and private farms will be seized by the government. You will not be allowed to hoard food since this is regulated. If you are caught hoarding food, you could be shot dead, or perhaps you will be lucky enough to be Tasered, knocked to the ground, sent to a FEMA camp and be immediately classified as a "domestic terrorist", other

nice pic and STORY!!! How come you printed pic and not the story in Saturday's paper. Now, nobody will know about this meeting until after they have left. nice planning. according to what us ignorant citizens are told, there is no military importance to this part of the country SO why on earth would these "special people" meet here?? dont bother saying how pretty this place is, they dont care!! Besides that, your article states that Miller and DeFuria had to get clearance, just how long did that take ---a couple of hours or a couple of days???? what happened to "REAL REPORTING" the importance of letting the public know exactly what is going on and not hiding the truth. JIMMY OLSEN WHERE ARE U?????

I had a wild crazy daydream, that Bush will finally play his trump card and pull Bin Laden off that plane parked here in Lake Clear. Maybe a week before the election to save the McCain campaign, once all the Iraq and Afghan coalition brass are assembled for the photo opp.
