U.S. Army Opens New Ground-Vehicle Energy Research Lab in Michigan
November 17th, 2009What does all of this mean for GM?
I have no idea. But if something really, really strange happens, it might make much more sense in hindsight.
I’m going to quote from Blank Spots on the Map again:
The Manhattan Project, a project lasting roughly five years from start to finish, had cost $2.3 billion in 1945 dollars. A contemporary sum of about $26.8 billion: a tremendous amount. But here, a startling fact: The budget for the entire Manhattan Project was still billions of dollars less than the present day’s annual black budget. Every year, the United States spends more black dollars than it took to build the bomb.
In the few short years it took to build the bomb, and with the ensuing Cold War, the notion of having classified industries, multibillion-dollar secret budgets, legions of security-cleared personnel, and entire branches of science devoted to secret science went from being unthinkable to being so natural that few people even bothered questioning it.
What technologies might someone like Kent Kresa be tasked with providing to GM?
—Obama Fired GM’s CEO; What’s Stirring Behind the Black Curtain?
This isn’t, “really, really” strange, but it’s close enough.
Let’s review.
The Obama regime installed a senior black world operative as the Chairman of the Board at GM, and several months later, a U.S. Army alternative energy lab opens in the neighborhood.
Interpretation:
It’s a false flag lab. A patsy lab. The black budget will never need to enter polite conversation when the technologies—that have probably been in existence for some number of decades—are rolled out.
Go back to sleep, gentle citizens, the invisible hand of the market is hard at work…
Via: United States Army:
The U.S. Army will lead the way in producing safer, more efficient and more high-powered ground vehicles in the future with the construction of the Department of Defense’s Ground System Power and Energy Laboratory, or GSPEL.
The U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center in Warren, Mich., will host an official groundbreaking ceremony for the lab Aug. 17. Army, government and industry leaders are scheduled to be on hand for the event.
The GSPEL will be a one-of-a-kind research and testing laboratory complex. Eight different labs will be housed in the 30,000-square-foot facility and they are being designed as the cornerstone for the Army’s next generation of power and energy initiatives. The facility will provide scientists and researchers with the ability to integrate hybrid-electric and fuel-cell technologies into advanced military vehicles.
TARDEC worked with the Southwest Research Institute, an independent, nonprofit applied research and development organization in San Antonio, Texas, to develop the demanding equipment and facility specifications necessary to make the GSPEL a reality.
One state-of-the-art piece of equipment to be installed in the GSPEL is AeroVironment’s AV-800 Power Processing Unit. The unit, delivered to TARDEC in June, is the highest power-level power-processing unit in the United States. The AV-800 uses power from a grid to test batteries and vehicles, and is capable of returning energy back to the grid at more than 90-percent efficiency.
The amount of energy generated by the system makes it ideal for testing the Army’s next-generation fleet of hybrid-electric manned and unmanned tactical vehicles, officials said. The unit is also used for assisting with the development of stationary devices, such as grid-connected batteries and fuel-cell systems by simulating application-specific load profiles.
As both the Army and the automotive industry look for ways to improve fuel efficiency and reduce energy consumption, TARDEC is working to be a leader in energy security and the development of hybrid-electric technology for ground vehicle systems.
“As the nation’s laboratory for advanced military automotive technology, TARDEC is at the forefront of developing tomorrow’s automotive solutions,” said Michael Bissonette, AeroVironment’s senior vice president and general manager of Efficient Energy Systems. “This new system will enable the development of high-powered electric automotive solutions, representing an important new capability for TARDEC and for the electric transportation industry.”
OK. This got me thinking and my speculations got a little weird:
Why don’t we ever hear about big underground UFO-related bases being anywhere other than the US? Assuming something like them exists can we safely assume they will survive should the collapse of the US economy and social structure occur? If aliens are presented to the world as having come in peace or whatever other scenario ends up being chosen, could the US, having perhaps lost its domestic manufacturing industries and slid into international ignominy, be intended to retain the ability to manufacture the tech support required and provide the centre of operations for the staging of this global illusion?
Or is the significance of this information more prosaic? Perhaps Detroit aims to ride again, hand in hand with the US military, as the new Japan, cornering the world’s vehicle market, perhaps during a time when US labour costs will be minimal and life will be doubleplusgood for corporate entities.
