IRAN SETTING TRAP FOR MODERN DAY BABYLON

UPDATE...2/29/12

Ezekiel 19:
A Lament for Israel’s Princes (lament for the west and the coming humbling for the once Christian west.)

1“Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel 2and say:

“‘What a lioness was your mother

among the lions!

She lay down among the young lions

and reared her cubs.

3She brought up one of her cubs,

and he became a strong lion. (His first covenent, Judaism)

He learned to tear the prey

and he devoured men.

4The nations heard about him,

and he was trapped in their pit.

They led him with hooks

to the land of Egypt. ( represents God's first covenent, Judaism. He allowed them to be taken as slaves into Egypt for 400 years after they became good at doing evil and calling evil good.)

5“‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,

her expectation gone,

she took another of her cubs (the second cub represents Christianity, or the Second Covenent)

and made him a strong lion. (The western world has been the flag bearer of the Christian faith for the past 2,000 years. But in the last since the Reformation has been corrupted by the internal agents of the Illuminati)

6He prowled among the lions,

for he was now a strong lion.

He learned to tear the prey

and he devoured men.

7He broke down their strongholds

and devastated their towns.

The land and all who were in it

were terrified by his roaring. (How the west over the past 500 years has conquered lands and people throughout.)

8Then the nations came against him,

those from regions round about.

They spread their net for him,

and he was trapped in their pit.

9With hooks they pulled him into a cage

and brought him to the king of Babylon. (Symbolically, this is what is happening now. The west is being entrapped in the middle east, or the site of ancient Babylon. Modern day Babylon, is being trapped the modern day countries where ancient Babylon was located. Iraq, Iran.)

They put him in prison,

so his roar was heard no longer

on the mountains of Israel.

10“‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard (The Christian Catholic west)

planted by the water;

it was fruitful and full of branches

because of abundant water.

11Its branches were strong,

fit for a ruler’s scepter.

It towered high

above the thick foliage,

conspicuous for its height

and for its many branches.

12But it was uprooted in fury

and thrown to the ground.

The east wind made it shrivel, (After the west drifted away from its Catholic Christian principles and values, the east wind, which today represents not only Islamic nations, but Asian, specifically China, will be the source of much pain for the secular, athiestic west after this world war.)

it was stripped of its fruit;

its strong branches withered

and fire consumed them. (The fire of a nuclear war!)

13Now it is planted in the desert, (the west is not yet at this point, but will be very soon. The desert has always represented a land of barren land, and a land of need. The west, after the war, will be a land of much need. Gone will be their excesses in food, money and pleasure. For God almighty will allow this humbling to occur to His nations that have abandoned His laws and ordinances.)

in a dry and thirsty land.

14Fire spread from one of its main branches

and consumed its fruit.

No strong branch is left on it

fit for a ruler’s scepter.’

This is a lament and is to be used as a lament.”

In my first book "The Forty Letters of Preparation for the End of An Age," which I wrote back in 2005, I included these passages and their modern day interpretations that were given to me by the Holy Spirit in chapters 31 through 37. I wrote how this war would be a war between the west and the east.

A war between nations that had a one time been faithful to God's word, but in the past several centuries had opted to instead follow the revolutionary agents of the Illuminati. Satan's agenteurs, and on the other side nations that historically had never been Christian, but would serve God's purpose in being the rod that would punish His once Christian nations.

Satan was the leader of the first revolution, when he conspired and rebelled against God the King of Heaven, and was expelled from Heaven for doing so. After being thrown down to earth, he leads men to revolt here on earth.

The Illuminati are the masters of leading, conspiring and fomenting revolutions. Beginning on a large scale back with the Frence revolution, all the way to modern day so called Arab Spring revolutions.

But if you read carefully the passage from Ezekiel 19, it states clearly what will happen to these nations. They will be trapped and taken prisoner in the land of Babylon, or modern day middle eastern nations.

Their roar will be stifled, for many nations will conspire against them according to the Old Testament prophet.

Just last night, I was reading a report from the Wall Street Journal how the west is mounting resources in the Persian Gulf. The war approaches and will erupt any day. This will begin the fulfillment of the west's entrappment.

UPDATE
Nasty surprises await warmongers in Persian Gulf
Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:0PM
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/229255.html

The most important thing I've read these last few days is the excellent article 'Armageddon Approaches' written by Dr Lasha Darkmoon , a cautionary piece which points the reader towards some very scary background information.


For example, according to Russ Winter of The Wall Street Examiner , Iran’s Sunburn missiles, acquired from Russia and China over the last 10 years, have the capability of creating "a world of hurt" for the US Navy’s 5th Fleet.

"The Sunburn is perhaps the most lethal anti-ship missile in the world, designed to fly as low as 9 feet above ground/water at more than 1,500 miles per hour (mach 2+). The missile uses a violent pop-up maneuver for its terminal approach to throw off Phalanx and other US anti-missile defense systems. Given their low cost, they’re perfectly suited for close quarter naval conflict in the bathtub-like Persian Gulf.”

With its 90-mile range, the Sunburn can be fired from practically any platform, including a flat bed truck, and could hit a ship in the Strait in less than a minute.

Adding this warning, Mark Gaffney says , "The US Navy has never faced anything in combat as formidable as the Sunburn missile.”

He mentions the even more-advanced SS-NX-26 Yakhonts missiles, also Russian-made (speed: Mach 2.9; range: 180 miles) deployed by the Iranians along the Persian Gulf's northern shore.

“Every US ship will be exposed and vulnerable. When the Iranians spring the trap, the entire lake will become a killing field,”

“In the Gulf's shallow and confined waters evasive manoeuvres will be difficult, at best, and escape impossible. Even if US planes control of the skies over the battlefield, the sailors caught in the net below will be hard-pressed to survive. The Gulf will run red with American blood."

As both writers point out, the Iranians will have mapped every firing angle along their Gulf coastline. And the rugged terrain will not make detection easy.

“Shooting fish in a barrel”, but who are the fish this time?

Britain recently announced the deployment of HMS Daring, a new Type 45 destroyer, to the Persian Gulf in order to send a significant message to the Iranians because of the firepower and world-beating technology carried by this warship. A Daily Telegraph report says she has been fitted with new technology that will give it the ability to "shoot down any missile in Iran's armory. The £1 billion destroyer also carries the world's most sophisticated naval radar, capable of tracking multiple incoming threats from missiles to fighter jets." Her 48 Sea Vipers can shoot down fighters as well as sea skimming missiles.

Apart from HMS Daring, Britain is believed to have at least 3 other vessels in the Persian Gulf, and more can be sent. Are they all equipped with the same world-beating technology?

Dr Darkmoon observes, "Both America and Israel are unfortunately just not ready to wage the type of warfare they prefer to wage and at which they so excel: shooting fish in a barrel. Unlike Iraq, which the warmonger neoconservatives told us would be a ‘cakewalk’ - easily conquered in six weeks - Iran is unlikely to offer its American and Israeli antagonists easy opportunities to indulge in their fish-in-a-barrel fantasies."

The spectacle of the world's school-yard bully, the United States, flanked by hooligan helpmates Britain, France and Canada all menacing Iran is building up to a chilling climax. If what I'm reading is correct, British ships in the bathtub of the Persian Gulf will be among the fish in the barrel on this occasion, with Iran doing the shooting. Britain's chief hooligans, William Hague and David Cameron, could be courting disaster for the much-vaunted HMS Daring. Why are they getting us involved anyway? It's obviously not for Britain, whose best interests are served by making friends and doing business with Iran.

No, they suffer the same delusions as their erstwhile partner in crime, the disgraced former Defence Secretary Liam Fox and the many others in our Parliamentary establishment who have swallowed the daft idea that Israel's enemies are Britain's enemies. How much sense can you expect from people who are signed-up Friends of Israel - in Hague’s case since the tender age of 15?Diplomacy? What diplomacy?

As the whole world surely knows by now, the US-British track record in Iran doesn’t bear examination. And when they get on their high horse and spout about democracy everyone falls about laughing. Who overthrew Iran’s fledgling democracy in 1953? Who trashed Palestine’s democracy in 2006? Who keeps banging on about Israel being the “only democracy in the Middle East” when, actually, it’s a racist ethnocracy?

For over 30 years Britain has had no high-level diplomatic contact with Iran except for Jack Straw’s visits a decade ago. Hague won’t answer questions about the diplomatic efforts he has made, if any. In a fit of lunacy he shut down the embassy in Tehran last year and chucked the Iranians out of London, and he’s now straining at the bit to get our young men needlessly embroiled in what is essentially a nuke-bristling US/Israel quarrel with non-nuke Iran… the ulterior motive and ultimate prize being Iran’s oil.

The US hasn’t had a proper embassy in Tehran since 1979. But a few months ago it set up a virtual embassy with this sick-making address to the Iranian people .

“We have created Virtual Embassy Tehran to offer you another perspective and another source of information, so you can make up your own minds about the US, our concerns about the Iranian government’s activities at home and abroad, and our serious efforts to achieve a resolution to those concerns,”

“This website is not a formal diplomatic mission, nor does it represent or describe a real US Embassy accredited to the Iranian Government. But, in the absence of direct contact, it can work as a bridge between the American and Iranian people.”

As President Obama said earlier this year and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton affirmed in her recent VOA and BBC appearances, “You - the young people of Iran - carry within you both the ancient greatness of Persian civilization, and the power to forge a country that is responsive to your aspirations. Your talent, your hopes, and your choices will shape the future of Iran, and help light the world. And though times may seem dark, I want you to know that I am with you,”

“It is in that spirit that we launch our Virtual US Embassy Tehran. It is our Mission to the Iranian people.”

Yeah, a US mission that’s accompanied by vicious sanctions imposed with the help of gullible friends like Britain and the EU and calculated to cripple Iran’s economy and make the lives of its young people hell. The consequences for us are damaging too.

Britain’s defence chief Philip Hammond, who replaced Fox after the scandal that exposed his 'special friend' Adam Werritty and behind-scenes plotting with Israel against Iran, has publicly warned Iran that any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would be "illegal and unsuccessful".

But why escalate matters to the point where a blockade becomes likely? And why, asks Dr Darkmoon, do it for Israel anyway? "Cui bono? Iran has much more to offer America than Israel does,”

"Iran has oil in abundance, Israel has none. Iran does not hold America’s political class to ransom. Iran does not try to browbeat successive American administrations into putting Iranian interests before American ones. Iran’s dual citizens do not spy on America or sell American military secrets to Russia and China-there are no Iranian Rosenbergs or Jonathan Pollards. Iran does not coerce Americans into fighting and dying for it in foreign wars. Iran does not expect $3 billion a year in handouts, and even more in loan guarantees that never get repaid,”

"Iran would be a far greater asset to America than Israel could ever be. Israel is a liability and a burden,”

"More fool America for cuddling up to a ‘friend’ who has stabbed it in the back in the past - the Lavon affair, the USS Liberty incident, the Jonathan Pollard betrayal - and is more than likely to stab it in the back again at some time in the foreseeable future,”

"Dump Israel. That’s my advice. Before Israel sets the world on fire, taking America with it."

The question certainly needs to be asked, she says, "What hold does Israel have over America? Is America prepared to sustain immense damage to its vital interests on behalf of an unstable and insolent ally that remains, if numerous polls are to be believed, the world’s most hated nation?"

Ask it here too. What hold does Israel have over Britain? The only people impressed by Israel are MPs and ministers whom the pro-Israel lobby has 'groomed' and funded, the Jewish community (though by no means all of them) and a rabble of Christian Zionists; no-one else. And no-one else wants to fight Israel's unjust wars or help America do Israel’s dirty work.

So if Hague, Hammond and Cameron love Israel so much let them and the regime’s other admirers don uniform and flak-jacket and go play battleships in the Persian Gulf’s “bathtub” themselves. Who in their right mind would volunteer to be that trio’s cannon-fodder?

WND EXCLUSIVE
Defense minister warns about Iran's 'secret weapons'
'We have not yet revealed all of our capabilities'
Published: 19 hours ago
By Reza Kahlili
http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/defense-minister-warns-about-irans-secret-weapons/

In an interview with the Fars News Agency today, Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi claimed that Iran is in possession of secret weapons along with top secret capabilities that could be used to confront the United States.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has many hidden capabilities, which are kept for rainy days,” Vahidi said in the interview. “We have not yet revealed all our capabilities.”

Referring to the U.S. assets positioned in the Persian Gulf, Vahidi stated: “These days Americans badly fear that an incident happens in the region and they can’t stand against the Islamic Republic’s firm positions vis-à-vis that given event.”

Vahidi then, in an ominous warning to America, said, “Undoubtedly, since our defense is an independent and defensive one based on our own defensive policies, special defense doctrines and internal capabilities, the U.S. will face a completely new environment when [it] gets involved with the new issues that Iran is pursuing and it will be obliged to think of this new environment.”

THE WEST PREPARES FOR SYRIA AND IRAN...RUSSIA, CHINA WILL COUNTER!

US, France, UK, Turkey, Italy prepare for military intervention in Syria
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
February 23, 2012, 10:29 AM (GMT+02:00)
http://debka.com/article/21762/

Despite public denials, military preparations for intervention in the horrendous Syrian crisis are quietly afoot in Washington, Paris, Rome, London and Ankara. President Barack Obama is poised for a final decision after the Pentagon submits operational plans for protecting Syrian rebels and beleaguered populations from the brutal assaults of Bashar Assad’s army, debkafile’s Washington sources disclose.
This process is also underway in allied capitals which joined the US in the Libyan operation that ended Muammar Qaddafi’s rule in August, 2011. They are waiting for a White House decision before going forward.
In Libya, foreign intervention began as an operation to protect the Libyan population against its ruler’s outrageous crackdown on dissent. It was mandated by UN Security Council. There is no chance of this in the Syrian case because it will be blocked by a Russian veto. Therefore, Western countries are planning military action of limited scope outside the purview of the world body, possibly on behalf of “Friends of Syria,” a group of 80 world nations which meets for the first time in Tunis Friday, Feb. 24, to hammer out practical steps for terminating the bloodbath pursued by the Assad regime.
The foreign ministers and senior officials – Russia has excluded itself – will certainly be further galvanized into action by the tragic deaths of two notable journalists Wednesday, Feb. 22, on the 19th day of the shelling of Homs.
Preparations for the event are taking place at the Foreign Office in London. Wednesday, Foreign Secretary William Hague said: Governments around the world have the responsibility to act…and to redouble our efforts to stop the Assad regime’s despicable campaign of terror.”
Hague pointedly said nothing about removing the Syrian ruler. Nor did he spell out the efforts need to stop the campaign of terror. debkafile’s military sources note that he left these issues open because a decision by President Obama about if and how the US will act is pending until the Pentagon submits operational plans to Commander-in-Chief Obama.
The US president is also waiting for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s report on the mood at the Tunis conference. He wants to know in particular if Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and the UAR will support US-led Western intervention in Syria, both politically and financially.
The Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin and the French Figaro video-photographer Remi Ochik died Wednesday in the heavy shelling of a fortified building which housed Western journalists making their way into Homs under the protection of Syrian rebels. Three other Western journalists were injured. Western military sources reported Thursday that this undercover Western press center was maintained by the rebels in tight secrecy. The building was practically gutted by a direct hit, suggesting that Syrian forces located it with the help of advanced electronic measures.
Another Western source noted that the journalists covering the atrocities in Homs from this hideout used coded channels of communications protected by anti-jamming and anti-tracking devices. The Syrians must therefore have called on Russian satellites or advanced Iranian electronic systems to locate it.
The authorities in Damascus decided to treat the press hideout as the first step in overt Western intervention in the Syrian conflict. It was accordingly razed totally with its occupants.

RUSSIAN, IRANIAN WARSHIPS IN SYRIA SEND MESSAGE TO WEST.

Russian warship docked in Syrian port.

This morning it was announced that Iran had cut oil supplies to U.K. and French oil companies, both of which are home of the Illuminati. For if you are to research the origins of the Illuminati and their beginnings in Europe, you will clearly find Scotland, then England, then France as being the home base of these secret society brotherhood organizations.
The fact that Iran took such a bold move and preempted the EU oil sanctions that were to go into effect on July 1st of this year, especially against two of the Illuminati's most powerful countries, is a sign that this world war is days from beginning.
The following article makes note of not only the Iranian warships that are stationed in Syrian ports, but also the fact that powerful Russian warships are stationed there as well. (who knows, there are probably submarines from both of these countries patrolling this region as well.)
The stakes keep getting higher and higher every single week, until the day the war begins, and by the looks of things, it appears it won't be long.
Also, it appears that the Illuminati puppet for president, Mitt Romney, is on the verge of losing several key states in the next 10 days or so, to rival Rick Santoroum. The Illuminati had not foreseen this, for they believed that money alone would suffice in getting their candidate nominated.
But as has been the case in every single primary state, there have been many voting irregularities in every state so far that has voted, especially the ones Romney has won, and yet there is no coverage of this anywhere in the mainstream news media. Perhaps this will be the only way their candidate can win.

Iran, Russia naval presence in Syrian waters message to US: MP
Sun Feb 19, 2012 3:9PM GMT
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/227506.html

“The United States should take Iran's warning about [refraining from any possible] military intervention in Syria seriously.”

Hossein Ebrahimi Deputy head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee

A senior Iranian lawmaker says the presence of Iranian and Russian naval forces in Syria’s coastal waters is a clear warning to the US to refrain from any possible military adventurism.

“The United States should take Iran's warning about [refraining from any possible] military intervention in Syria seriously,” Hossein Ebrahimi, deputy chairman of Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said Sunday.

He added that in the event of a US strategic mistake in Syria, Washington may receive a crushing response from Iran, Syria and a few other countries.

On Sunday, January 8, a large Russian navy flotilla led by an aircraft carrier arrived at the Syrian port of Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea for a six-day port call, to show Moscow's solidarity with Damascus.

"The port call is aimed at bringing the two countries closer together and strengthening their ties of friendship," the official SANA news agency quoted a Russian naval officer Yakushin Vladimir Anatolievich as saying.

Two Iranian Navy ships also docked in the Syrian port of Tartus on Friday, February 17, to train Syrian naval forces under an agreement signed between Tehran and Damascus one year ago.

“Syrians are against any form of foreign intervention in their country, but the United States by arming opposition groups is trying to harm the [anti-Israeli] axis of resistance in the region [in order to] affect Islamic Awakening in regional countries,” Ebrahimi added.

The lawmaker went on to say that the recent dispatch of a number of unmanned military and intelligence drones for operations in Syrian skies by the US military will only result in more solidarity among the Syrians.

NBC News quoted unnamed US defense officials as saying on February 18 that US drones are monitoring “the Syrian military attacks against opposition forces and civilians.”

Syria has been the scene of unrest since mid-March, 2011, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of President Bashar al-Assad's government.

The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters. But Damascus blames ''outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups'' for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.

RUSSIAN MILITARY PREPARING RESPONSE AGAINST ISRAELI/U.S. ATTACK ON IRAN.

Russian Chief of Staff Nikolai Makarov

Russia closely monitoring Iran situation: Russia's Chief of Staff
Thu Feb 16, 2012 3:8PM
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/227019.html

Iran has become the leading focus of the Kremlin with Defense Ministry establishing a center to closely monitor the situation in Iran and the rest of the Middle East.” Russian Chief of Staff General Nikolai Makarov
Moscow is making preparations to respond to a possible Israeli or US military strike against Iran in 2012, report says.
According to World Tribune, the Kremlin has ordered the military to draft options for a Russian response to any foreign attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The report added that the Russian Defense Ministry has set up a facility to monitor Tehran as Moscow’s close ally and trading partner.

“Iran has become the leading focus of the Kremlin with the Defense Ministry establishing a center to closely monitor the situation in Iran and the rest of the Middle East,” Russia's Chief of Staff General Nikolai Makarov said.

The Russian general added that international pressure on Iran over the country’s nuclear program has been growing and could be followed by military action.

“We used to have a general on duty at each main command. Now, we have created a situation center that receives all the necessary information in real-time,” he added.

According to World Tribune, the United States has also increased monitoring Israel and Iran out of concern for a regional war in 2012.

The United States and Israel accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program.

Under this pretext, Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the "option" of a military strike against its atomic facilities.

On February 9, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman once again threatened Tehran with military strike over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

“Israel has a large selection of ways, when the world of international sanctions fails to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear program,” the Israeli official told UN envoys in New York.

Iran has refuted the allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

THE SPARK THAT WILL START THE WORLD WAR!

Mabus will then soon die and there will come
a dreadful destruction of people and animals.
Suddenly vengeance revealed, a hundred hands,
thirst and hunger, when the comet will pass.
----------------------------------------------------
Mabus puis tost alors mourra, viendra,
De gens & bestes une horrible defaite:
Puis tout à coup la vengeance on verra,
Cent, main, soif, faim, quand courra la comete.
Century 2 - Quatrain 62

I have posted Nostradamus' famous quatrain from above in various postings on this site over the past 2 years. Although, they seem to be taking a more relevant turn as global events continue to spin out of control.
His quatrain from above refers to a figure named Mabus, after whose death, will basically be the beginning of world war three.
For he refers to Mabus' death as a death that seems to sudden, after which sudden vengeance will occur, wiping out man and animals together.
A war that is nuclear in nature will do exactly this...wipe out man and beast and any other living things on earth.
Nostradamus also addresses how there will be thirst and famine after this nuclear exchange, which there will be due to the fact that most if not all food and water will be gone, and/or contaminated in the countries/nations involved in this coming nuclear world war.
The following article from today's Debkafile site led me to think about this particular quatrain. How this attack today on the wife of an Israeli defense minister and any future attack on any other high level official could, and most assuredly lead to an all out war.
There has been many theories on just who this Mabus figure Nostradamus wrote about over 500 years ago might be today.
Only time will tell, but whoever it is, it will be the reason for lighting the spark that leads to an all out nuclear world war.


A fatal attack on Israelis abroad could spark war with Iran and Hizballah
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis
February 13, 2012, 10:35 PM (GMT+02:00)
http://debka.com/article/21735/

This time, no one was killed although an Talya Yehoshua- KIoren, wife of the Defense Ministry representative in India, and three others were injured by a sticky bomb planted on her Innova SUV in New Delhi Monday, Feb. 13, at almost exactly the same time as a similar device was safely defused in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
In recent weeks, terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets were foiled in Thailand, Azerbaijan and Argentina. However much they deny this, Iran and Hizballah are clearly determined to keep on trying until they achieve their objective of killing targeted Israelis.
debkafile’s military sources say that the odds are on their eventual success, after failing in four out of five tries.
On this assumption, Israel’s chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz summoned three senior staff officers to a conference as soon as the first reports came in from New Delhi and Tbilisi at around noon Monday. It was attended by Military Intelligence Director Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavy, Air Force commander Ido Nehushtan and Operations Division chief Maj. Gen. Yaakov Ayash. The meeting’s level indicated that it was not limited to discussing the immediate import of the two bombing attacks but focused rather on the broader ramifications of a potential attack with Israeli fatalities and its impact on the prospects of war.
This assumption does not look far-fetched when it is recalled that deadly terrorist attacks in the past plunged Israel into two major wars.
On June 3, 1982, four terrorists gunned down Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov outside the Dorchester in London. He was in a coma until his death 21 years later. Three days after the attack, Israeli troops invaded Lebanon to fight the Palestinians and Syria.
Twenty-four years later, on July 12, 2006, Hizballah raiders crossed into Israel and attacked an IDF patrol. They killed three of its members and dragged two back into Lebanon to be held as hostages. Before the day ended, Israel was at war, this time with Hizballah.
So the agenda on Gen. Gantz’s urgent discussion with the IDF’s intelligence, air force and operations chiefs
was obviously not about plans to fly Israeli troops to New Delhi or Tbilisi, but for a calculus of the proximity of a full-scale war at some point in the ongoing wave of terror.
For some weeks now, the Middle East has been teetering at the edge of a precipice. A sudden shove could push it over the edge into full-blown armed hostilities without President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or even Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being in control. The atmosphere is already dangerously charged over the crisis in Syria, reciprocal US and Iranian threats over the Strait of Hormuz, and US and Israeli preparations to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
But wars may be ignited without notice by a small spark or a terrorist attack far from Middle East shores that would cause enough Israeli fatalities to satisfy its instigators in Tehran and Beirut and provoke an Israeli military response. This was dangerously close to happening in New Delhi Monday.

RUSSIAN BEAR WARNS THE WEST---WE WILL TAKE DRASTIC ACTIONS AND BRING YOU DOWN!!!

The Russian bear warns the west...stop intervening in Syria, OR we will take drastic measures and bring you down to size!

Russia accuses West of arming Syrian rebels
By REUTERS 02/10/2012 17:51
http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=257323

Without specifying which nations he is accusing, Moscow's deputy FM says Western countries are arming and advising rebels, says Russia will take "drastic measures" if West keeps pushing issue at UN Security Council.

MOSCOW - Russia said on Friday that the West was stoking the conflict in Syria by sending weapons to the opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

In an attempt to deflect criticism of Russia for blocking a UN Security Council resolution urging Assad to give up power, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Western states were stirring up trouble in Syria, where Assad has pursued a violent crackdown since March on protests against his 11-year rule.

"Western states inciting Syrian opposition to uncompromising actions, as well as those sending arms to them, giving them advice and direction, are participating in the process of fomenting the crisis," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying.

He did not specify which nations were arming Syrian rebels.

On Sunday Russia and China vetoed a Western-Arab draft UN resolution that called on Assad to quit. That drew US and European criticism which Russia dismissed as hysterical.

Ryabkov, speaking on a visit to Colombia, said Russia would take "drastic measures" if the West kept trying to intervene in Syria's internal affairs through the Security Council.

"The UN council is not a tool for intervention in internal affairs and is not the agency to decide which government is to be next in one country or another," Ryabkov said. "If our foreign partners don't understand that, we will have to use drastic measures to return them to real grounds."

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who is almost certain to win a presidential election in March, warned the West not to meddle in the affairs of Syria, or those of Russia.

Russia's lower house of parliament adopted a statement on Friday condemning the West for "intervening in other states' affairs and imposing outside decisions on them".

Some lawmakers in the assembly, which is controlled by Putin's ruling party, called for firmer resistance to the West.

"There is criticism in the Duma that Russia's position on Syria is not strong enough. They say Russia should press its point harder," Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs, told Reuters.

RED FLAGS...ISRAELI EMBASSIES PREPPING FOR WAR.

Israel embassies preparing for Iran strike?

Diplomats stationed in Israel request gas masks, prepare contingency plans in case of missile attacks; envoys fear that thousands of dual-citizenship Israelis will seek evacuation

Preparing for Iran strike? Foreign embassies in Israel have recently started to formulate contingency plans to evacuate their citizens from the Jewish State in case of a missile attack on Israel.

Senior officials in Jerusalem said that several diplomatic missions have shown great interest in preparing for various emergency situations, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday.

In the framework of the preparations for possible fallout in case of an Israeli strike on Iran, foreign diplomats stationed in Israel requested that the Foreign Ministry equip them and their family members with gas masks.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry has provided foreign embassies in Israel with a list of public bomb shelters across the country, as well as an instructional pamphlet in English produced by the IDF Home Front Command.

Diplomatic officials deployed in Israel are particularly concerned about the possibility of a missile offensive on the Jewish State that would prompt thousands of Israeli citizens with foreign passports to seek evacuation from country.

A senior European diplomat said that in such case, the European Union does not have the means to undertake a massive evacuation operation within a short period of time.

Meanwhile, the Home Front Command is preparing to launch a two-day drill in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Wednesday. IDF forces, firefighters, police officers and Magen David Adom emergency services will be taking part in the exercise.

Army officials said that heavy military and emergency vehicle traffic is expected in the city's Shimshon neighborhood during the day. The drill marks the latest in a series of Home Front exercises held in Israel in recent months.

The Middle East Media Research Institute, an Israel-centric propaganda outfit run by a former colonel in Israeli intelligence, has posted a video and transcript of an interview with retired Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, a former member of the Russian Joint Chiefs of Staff. The interview aired on Russia Today on February 1, 2012, according to MEMRI.

During the interview, Ivashov said scheduled military exercises by Russia will be used to demonstrate that it is opposed to military operations by Israel and the United States against Iran and Syria. Ivashov said both countries are “guaranteed partners of Russia” and attacks against them would be unacceptable.

“A strike against Syria or Iran is an indirect strike against Russia and its interests. Russia would lose important positions and allies in the Arab world. Therefore, by defending Syria, Russia is defending its own interests,” he said.

Ivashov said what the United States and NATO did in Libya is “nearly identical” to what Hitler and the Nazis did in Poland and Russia. He said Russia is protecting the world from fascism.

It is not clear what military exercise Ivashov was referring to during the interview. According to RIA Novosti, the Russian state owned news agency, Russia and India Monday started preparations for the joint INDRA-2012 military exercises scheduled to be held in Russia this summer.

India and Russia have conducted five of the INDRA-series joint ground and naval exercises since 2003

Russia vetoes anti-Assad UN motion after preparing Special Forces for Syria
DEBKAfile Special Report

The West and Russia had a major showdown Saturday Feb. 5 over the Arab League resolution calling on Bashar Assad to step down and allow the formation of a national unity government. US President Barack Obama demanded a UN stand against the Syrian president's "relentless brutality" and a vote before the end of the day. It was put to the vote and defeated by Russian and China vetoes.

Moscow sources charged that the motion had been intended to pave the way for war in Iran and a bid to overthrow the Tehran regime.
debkafile's military sources report that the Russians backed their hard line against the West by putting Rapid Reaction Force (aka Spetsnaz) units in Black Sea bases on the ready to set out for Syria and defend Damascus. A Cold War dimension has been injected into the Syrian crisis, which is fast descending into a sectarian war between Syria's ruling Alawites (Shiites) and the majority Sunnis. The regional dimension is provided by pitting Iran and Syria against Turkey and the Gulf Arabs.

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's earlier announcement that he would visit Damascus next Tuesday, Feb 7, with Russian Foreign Intelligence Service chief Mikhail Fradkov was meant to buy Bashar Assad another three days' grace to polish off the opposition before a possible UN-ordered ceasefire.
However, the US and Western powers refused to wait for further Syrian excesses to take place after various sources reported earlier Saturday that Syrian troops had shelled the Homs district of Khaldiyeh, killing an estimated 350 people there and injuring some 1,500, in the worst military bombardment of nearly 11-month-old uprising,.

Syrian government officials denied the charge accusing "gunmen" of killing civilians.

debkafile's intelligence sources note that Moscow's gesture to send the Russian foreign intelligence chief to Damascus alongside the foreign minister is supported additionally by the presence in the Syrian port of Tartus of Russia's only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov with two destroyers and a marine force.

Aside from a few Turkish brigades strung out along the Syrian border, the West maintains no troops on in the vicinity of Syria since the American military withdrew from Iraq last December.

The United States presented a tough front at the UN Security Council Saturday, with President Obama insisting that the council vote on a Arab League text without further delay or changes to accommodate Moscow and that its president step down over his "unspeakable assault" on Homs.
The hard lines taken by Washington and Moscow over the Syrian crisis produced a harsh showdown over the "Arab Spring" per se, which Russia has been building up to since NATO helped Libyan rebels overthrow Muammar Qaddafi.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who runs for his third term as president in a month's time, and President Dmitry Medvedev appear to have determined, even at the price of military intervention, not to let NATO and Arab states repeat the Libyan exercise in Damascus. The gauntlet they threw down was picked up by President Obama Saturday. If the Russians continue to obstruct the US, European and Arab role in backing the Arab revolt and the Muslim Brotherhood, The United States, the Europeans and the Gulf Arabs are likely to redouble their efforts to unseat Bashar Assad.

RUSSIA:: U.S./NATO REAL THREAT, NOT IRAN AND N. KOREA!

Russian PM, and future president of Russia once again come this March.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin slammed the west, specifically the U.S. and NATO, as being the real threats and not Iran and N. Korea as the west is constantly pressing this point. Russia in prophecy is the nation that will destroy much of western Europe in WW3.

Putin Slams U.S. Missile Shield Ahead of Munich Security Talks.

In a documentary aired by Russian state television on the eve of a global security conference in Munich, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin reiterated his confidence that U.S. missile shield plans were aimed at undermining Russia’s defense capabilities.

“Today, neither Iran, nor North Korea poses a threat… Today, it’s missile defense that is certainly aimed at neutralizing Russia’s nuclear missile potential,” Putin said in the documentary, entitled “Cold Politics,” which was aired by the First Channel late on Thursday.

Radars to be installed near Russia’s western borders as part of the NATO missile defense system would shield the entire territory of European Russia, Putin said. Yet Washington officials “do not want to provide any guarantees” that their missile plans are not directed against Russia, he added.

Moscow is seeking written, legally binding guarantees that the NATO missile shield will not target Russia. Washington, however, refuses to provide the guarantees, saying the shield is intended to defend NATO members against missiles from North Korea and Iran.

In the documentary, Putin also noted that the United States was the only country to use nuclear weapons, referring to the 1945 bombing of Japan.
“We cannot forget this, and we will always react to threats that would emerge near our borders,” Putin said.
In an apparent reference to Iran, he also criticized what he described as calls by some members of the UN Security Council for “intervention and regime change in some countries” which they believe may obtain “weapons of mass destruction.”
“It seems to me that our partners are looking for vassals, not allies. They want to govern. But Russia cannot come into line with this,” he said.

Putin’s comments were aired on the eve of the 48th Munich Security Conference, in which Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will take part along with dozens of top officials and security experts from around the world.

Ahead of the conference, which runs from February 3 to 5, its chairman Wolfgang Ischinger expressed hope that it would help Russia and its Western partners reach a “compromise” on the missile defense issue “so that the cooperation with Russia can move forward at the NATO summit in May in Chicago.”

‘Panetta believes Israel will attack Iran this spring'
By YAAKOV KATZ 02/02/2012 20:40

US secretary of defense is concerned Israel will launch an attack before Iran enters so-called "immunity zone" when military strike won't bust Iran's nuclear facilities, 'Washington Post' reports.

United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel will attack Iran in April, May or June, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

According to the report, written by the paper’s senior opinion writer David Ignatius, Panetta is concerned that Israel will launch an attack before Iran enters the so-called “immunity zone” when its nuclear facilities will be heavily fortified and a military strike will no longer succeed.

Ignatius does not quote Panetta in the article but he is currently traveling with the secretary of defense in Brussels.

According to the article, Israel might decide to strike before Iran completes the fortification since afterward only America will be capable of stopping Iran militarily.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to leave the fate of Israel dependent on American action,” Ignatius wrote. According to the report, Israel’s strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities could last five days which would be followed by a United Nations-brokered ceasefire.
