Navy Keeps A Secret in Plain Sight, Hush-Hush Project Underway -WP

[Rose Siding]

Shortly after dawn on a recent morning, two dump trucks and a water tanker pulled up to a new, unmarked complex of buildings at East Potomac Park, the grassy peninsula near the Jefferson Memorial. The drivers exited their cabs, knocked at a gatehouse with blacked-out windows and waited for a security guard to emerge from behind a locked door.

A few minutes later, a panel of 10-foot-high security fence slid open, and the trucks disappeared inside, leaving the joggers and cyclists along the waterfront none the wiser about their mission.

What goes on beyond the fence is a mystery. The multi-agency review normally required to erect anything on federal parkland did not apply to the beige, metal buildings. The Navy, which operates the site at Ohio and Buckeye drives SW, calls the work a "utility assessment and upgrade" and volunteers nothing more.

"As a matter of policy, we can't go into the particulars," said a Navy spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Joseph A. Surette.

Frederick J. Lindstrom, acting secretary of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, said it is illegal for him to discuss the matter. He did say the Navy started the work without seeking review from the commission, which oversees the city's Potomac River parklands.

"Let's just say when they're finished, you'll be glad they've done what they've done," Lindstrom said.......

1. very disturbing

"Let's just say when they're finished, you'll be glad they've done what they've done," Lindstrom said.

That's just scary.

5. Tinfoil time!

:smoke:

Maybe it's, like, some sort of wormhole-device-thing that sends us to other planets, like in that "Stargate" show..... dude....

Lordy. "You'll be glad they've done what they've done." What. The. Hell.

What, is it my birthday or something? I know Christmas is coming, but do I really want a gift from our military?

:freak:

2. Toxic waste?

Isn't that near the train tracks?

4. The article says this site has pictures...

"Judy Scott Feldman, head of the National Coalition to Save Our Mall... whose group's Web site has posted a photograph of the project."

6. Exocet missile battery?

Fleschette gun battery? :shrug:

Considering the regime, it's something that kills and destroys, not something that makes the environment cleaner.

8. The missing Planes from 9/11 ???????? n/t

11. Bomb Shelter?

"Meanwhile, digging continues injury-free after more than 300 days, directed by Clark Construction of Bethesda and Kiewit, a mining and construction firm based in Omaha, Neb., according to site contract overseer Frank Nottingham."

[truth2power]

10. A mining company??

Sounds like they're digging a tunnel or underground bunker. How far is this from Cheney's residence? Remember all those explosions around Cheney's lair last summer and the complaints of the neighbors? And what about stories of the "Kokomo Hum" surfacing again some months ago?

Lots of activity going on underground at different sites around the country. Seems like someone is thinking underground facilities might be needed on a large scale.

Maybe I'm wearing my :tinfoilhat: too tight, but it is something to ponder. Yikes!

12. Mysterious 'booms' continue with puzzling regularity in Richmond

Mysterious 'booms' continue with puzzling regularity in Richmond


From NBC12 News
Friday, November 19, 2004

Those mysterious booms on Richmond's Northside continue to be-fuddle city officials. They've been happening for three weeks now and residents say no one can tell them why.

The latest “boom” was just last night. Based on a map of 911 calls received since the booming noises began, the majority came from the area near Palmyra and Gloucester.

For three weeks, city officials have explored a multitude of scenarios. They've come up empty and still the booms and shakes continue. Officials have looked into every logical explanation: a buildup of sewer or natural gas -- both of which have been ruled out for now...cont'd

Probably bunkers with just enough reserves to support the 2% wealthiest people on the planet.

Lots of places to hide. Perhaps Bushco is building them because THEY plan to use nukes somewhere and assume there will be retaliation. Or another 9/11, but this time directed at Congress or something, which would justify their "secret government" coming to power. This group is completely capable of such an act...I threw out my tin hat long ago. Just imagine the darkest minds at work on the planet and the living nightmare they've already created and then maybe you'll get close to what they are capable of.

14. I remember

when there was all the digging and noise, under Chaney's house, and the neighbors were upset. Is it still going on?

13. Drilling for oil! n/t

[The Night Owl]

15. Missile Defense

The Navy is probably installing missile defense batteries in Potomac Park. The scale and location of the project seems about right for missile defense batteries. What else could it be?

Then again, maybe the Navy is putting one of these in...

16. I bet it's some sort of Demon Gate...

...right out of 'Doom'.

17. secret....shhhhhh...

It's an underground harbor for the Chimp's escape-sub. When all this reaches a climax, and the nukes are in the air, he will be whisked away to his little yellow sub which will transport him to some little island for a much deserved vacation. He'll rule from afar, so as to avoid the radiation and rioting.:wow:
