I missed this when it happened a couple of weeks ago. If David Duke called McCain the Messiah, I'm sure it would have been front page material for the New York Times.
"Mark my words," Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.
"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.
"Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy".
CQ Transcript: Colin Powell on NBC's 'Meet the Press' ....
Is this a warning or a Freudian slip?
< SNIP >
POWELL: I would start with talking to the American people and talking to the world, and conveying a new image of American leadership, a new image of America's role in the world.
The problems will always be there, and there's going to be a crisis come along in the 21st or 22nd of January that we don't even know about right now.
It seems Joe Biden has also delivered a 'warning to the world'. You can read Rayelan's commentary on this 'linked above'.
We will not call two warnings of this magnitude a mere coincidence. Something BIG is headed our way. Both Joe Biden and Colin Powell are CFR members.
This year, the inauguration date for the new President of the United States will be January 20, 2009.
G, you are correct, Colin Powell is stating rather definitively here - 'There's going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21rst or 22nd of Jaunuary.' And, Powell further comments: 'we do not even know about the crisis right now'.
Powell also states: "We’re going to meet our overseas obligations."
We know there are those in the current administration who sold false debt instruments to foreign countries which include Russia and China. VK Durham, C. Story and even Casper have covered this in depth. These foreign debts have been hanging over America's head for some time now.
Will the imminent crisis mentioned here be financial (on a grand scale) ... or, will the crisis be something of even greater magnitude? We don't know.
Apparently, Colin Powell does know what this crisis will be. This is not a man who usually makes idle statements. Especially, when specific dates are given. It would seem he has perhaps received an internal briefing on this subject, and he was asked to leak this information to the public.
Colin Powell has also stated quite clearly - Obama (if elected) would be a 'transitional President'. The question is: what are we transitioning to?
When I hear the term 'crisis situation,' this always brings to mind - the very old and frequently used - 'Hegelian model'.
The statement made in this interview does not provide clear transparency. It certainly does wave a red flag which gets our attention. Joe Biden also waved a red flag with a warning.
Thank you very much for sharing this significant and definitive 'time-stamped prediction'.
