IRAN CAN “OVERWHELM” US MISSILE DEFENSES IN PERSIAN GULF

August 1st, 2010

Given that the threat posed by Iran in the Persian Gulf has been known for years, one would think that the USA has made preparations to counter that threat, wouldn’t you? If you had made that assumption, you would be wrong, according to the link below. The link reports that the USA has deployed only a few Patriot Missile batteries to the Mideast to defend US installations, personnel and assets in the region.

The report states that the Iranians already have deployed “over a thousand” missiles which can be aimed at the US personnel and assets in the region. If war breaks out, the Iranian missiles will “overwhelm” US missile defenses because the USA has so few anti-missile assets located in that region. Even if every US Patriot missile successfully shot down an attacking missile, there would be so many more attacking Iranian missiles than defending US missiles that the vast majority of Iranian missiles would hit their targets.

One also needs to consider that the US Navy has anti-missile assets that are not mentioned in this link. The US Navy has Aegis-equipped warships stationed in the Persian Gulf which could also shoot down some of the Iranian missiles in any attack. However, those naval Aegis-directed missiles may all be used to protect the US Navy’s assets so none may be available to protect any US land-based assets.

It seems to me that US war strategists have assumed that any warfare in the Persian Gulf will begin with an American or American-led attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Any such attack could not be limited to Iran’s nuclear facilities, however. Because of Iran’s stated intention to shut down the Straits of Hormuz in any such war, the USA would have to use  its warplanes to attack the ground-based Iranian missile launchers as part of any initial strike. That would prevent some of Iran’s missiles from being fired at American and allied targets. However, what if American war strategists have made a major blunder in assuming that Iran will not attack first?  There are reports that Iran’s leaders may see a war as the best way to rally the Iranian people to support its current leaders. If this is the case, Iran’s leaders may want a war and the chances of an Iranian first strike may be higher than America’s war planners have thought.

In World War II, the USA never dreamed that Japan would strike first so the Americans were utterly unprepared for the Pearl Harbor attack.  Our nation’s enemies have read the history books, and they realize that the best way to attack the USA is via an unexpected first strike. Ezekiel 38:10-12 prophesies that the nations of the latter-day house of Israel (the ten tribes of Israel) will not be expecting an attack when a great war befalls them as a result of an unexpected attack by Russia, China, Iran and their allies. It is my sense that a Persian Gulf war, if one occurs, will not develop into the prophesied, age-ending Gog-Magog war, but it could be a preliminary war which would drive Iran deeper into the embrace of its Russian and Chinese allies. However, since Ezekiel 38 warns the Gog-Magog alliance will eventually strike first against the USA and the West at the end of this age, Iran could decide to strike first in a Persian Gulf war as well. As long as the USA neglects its defenses against Iranian cruise missiles, the USA is giving the Iranians a good reason to strike first while they have a strong missile advantage. Deterrence is a good policy, but the current US leaders seem unable to grasp that fact.

A “GOG-MAGOG” INVASION MOVIE IS PENDING!

July 30th, 2010

This is remarkable news! The first link below, from the World Tribune, reports that a remake of the movie “Red Dawn” is being made and it will depict a surprise attack of North America by a combined Russian-Chinese invasion force. The previous “Red Dawn” movie depicted an invasion by Russian, Cuban and allied forces, but the new movie will add the Chinese to the attacking force. Most interestingly, this movie will depict exactly what is prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39: an invasion of North America (and Europe) by a Russian-Chinese invasion force with their allies in Iran, Central Asian nations, North Korea, etc.  If you click on the “full text” option at the end of the story in the first link, you will see a review listing the actors and the projected release date of November 24th for this movie.

The movie reportedly “will make both the Chinese and Russians as the enemies” of the USA and its allies. In other words, the movie will tell the cold, hard truth which the US government and the media are afraid and unwilling to tell the American people. I  urge you to watch the second link, which offers a trailer from the new movie. It shows the Russian-Chinese invasion force dropping paratroopers on North America and landing troops in a seaborne assault, as well as a simulated CNN “live” report on the invasion of North America. The third link, from Wikipedia, gives more information about it, and this movie has already experienced delays in getting finished. The first link reports the Chinese opposition to the movie, so you can be sure that China is acting behind the scenes to have this movie stopped. Pray that it gets done and gets released as it would be a tremendous tool to wake up the US people to the real dangers that they face.

Ezekiel 38 prophesies that his invasion of North America will really happen! It will come as an aerial attack (“like a cloud”–verse 9 and 16), and that it will come “out of the north” (verse 15). In previous blogs, I have observed that the most feasible way for Russia and China to attack North America would be for Russian-Chinese special forces to suddenly seize control of Alaskan airports, killing all American personnel at them and beginning a 24/7 massive airlift of soldiers, warplanes and armored vehicles into those Alaskan airports and sending them southward to slaughter Canadians and Americans. Their goal is revealed in Ezekiel 38:12 to seize all our national wealth. They will slaughter many millions of North Americans (and Europeans), and they may desire to keep some alive for use as slaves. American and western women would likely be kept alive for servicing the massive surplus of Chinese males which now exists in China. These Chinese males without women will, I’d bet, eagerly participate in this invasion of North America. Ezekiel 38:9 prophesies this attack will come like a sudden storm. The USA has foolishly sent its military forces to Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere so only a small amount of America’s military forces are available in North America to defend our homeland. Europe will be invaded as well as they are also part of the “house of Israel” attacked in Ezekiel 38 by Russia and China. A blog I did over a year ago revealed that China has manufactured entire classes of armored vehicles to be airlifted long distances on transport planes. Ezekiel 38 reveals their destination is going to be North America via the Alaskan airfields which are just across the Bering Straits from Russia.

The movie trailer below depicts a seaborne landing as well. This could happen as those massive Chinese container ships bringing cheap goods to the USA could, when the attack is planned, be reconfigured to transport not goods, but many thousands of soldiers to make surprise landings on the West Coast of America and start killing as many Americans as possible to sow terror and induce Americans to surrender to slavery. However, Ezekiel 38 reveals the main Russian-Chinese attack will come from the north, which makes perfect sense. It is only a short flight from Russia to Alaska so the Russian-Chinese military can airlift an incredible number of soldiers into Alaska to invade North America from the north. Obviously, Russian and Chinese warplanes will sortie far to the south from seized Alaskan airfields to destroy every Canadian and American military and infrastructure target they can locate. Russian and Chinese subs would take up position in the North Atlantic to try and sink any American carrier task forces coming northward to stop the invasion forces from pouring out of Asia into Alaska. Canadians are mostly unarmed so they will be little more than sheep for the slaughter as the invaders head southward into American soil in a blitzkrieg attack. Civilian Americans are armed to the teeth due to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution so vast numbers of Russians and Chinese soldiers will die when American aim tens of millions of guns at them. China won’t care about its losses. They would happily sacrifice 100s of millions of their own people to achieve world domination (a previous blog of mine cited a Chinese general making such a statement).

As I have said before, I do not know when this event will occur. However, God has declared in Ezekiel 38 that this attack will most certainly occur even if he has to put the thoughts into the Gog-Magog leaders to launch the attack when his timetable calls for it to happen (Ezekiel 38:4 & 10). The modern nations of the ten tribes of Israel have rebelled against God and openly mocked him so God’s “spanking” of his Covenant People will be the Ezekiel 38 invasion of their lands. It is my hope that the “bride of Christ” (his believers) will be absent or protected when this invasion occurs, but none of us has any guarantees on this. With a weak US President like Obama in office, Russia and China might figure an ideal time to attack is when America has a president with no military skills.  Ezekiel 39:21 cites God as saying he calls on all the modern nations of the house of Israel to fight back with their weapons against these invaders. At some point, God enters the battle when Jesus Christ returns (Ezekiel 38:20-39:12), and the Russian-Chinese armies (and perhaps nations) will have 5/6ths of their numbers killed by either God’s action or the weaponry of the defenders.

Get ready, folks. This event is coming. I hope all of you own guns and know how to use them. Teach your families to use them too. Share this blog with all those who you care about. When this movie comes out (if Chinese pressure doesn’t cause the gutless Obama administration to “cave” to China on this too and stop the movie), go see it. While the tactics may not be exactly what Ezekiel 38 reveals will occur, and I doubt the movie will culminate in the return of Jesus Christ, it will be as close to showing Americans what the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy will be like when it gets fulfilled. Maybe God has arranged for this movie to be released to give the Americans a final chance to wake up and prepare for this prophesied event.

I also suggest you join the NRA. There may not be much of the US military left in North America after Russia and China launch their “Pearl Harbor” attack. Civilians may have to band together and defend themselves with whatever weapons they have on hand. I think most Americans will be so enraged at this attack when it happens that they will rather die as free men instead of live as slaves to be worked to death.  Americans of whatever race or gender will have too unite and fight at each other’s side because you can be sure the invaders are coming to kill all Americans, regardless of their racial or ethnic origin.

I wish I had better news, folks, but prophetic fulfillments are bearing down on us. Make yourself as ready as you can.

If you appreciate the biblically-based analysis and information you receive at this website, I hope that you will consider making a donation via the Paypal donation button. Almost no donations have been received during the last three weeks. However, the danger posed by Russia and China to the USA is now so obvious that someone has decided to make a movie showing how real this threat is. That means that I’m not the only one seeing how vulnerable the USA is to a Russian-Chinese invasion. The commander of the eventual Russian-Chinese invasion force likely thinks that he can crush the USA in the opening blow. However, God gives us a bit of good news here. Ezekiel 39:3 gives us God’s promise that not all of the invaders weaponry will work as well as they expect. When this war is over, many millions of Americans, Canadians and Europeans will be dead, but almost all the Russians and Chinese will be dead as well (Ezekiel 39:2, 11-16). We will also see the end of this age and the beginning the millennium on the other side of this war. If you wish to have more in-depth information on what the Bible prophesies concerning this World War III which lies ahead of us, I invite you to read my article, What Ezekiel 38-39 Reveal about a Future World War III [PDF], at the articles link at this website.

OBAMA “CAVES” TO CHINA …AGAIN

July 29th, 2010

The first link below details that President Obama’s White House has “caved in” to Chinese pressure…again. My July 19th blog (available in the archives) reported that Obama and his White House staff were yielding to pressure from China to conceal and/or downgrade the real extent of the growing Chinese military threat to the USA. The first link below, from the Washington Times’ “Inside the Ring” column by Bill Gertz,  details a second instance where Obama has passively yielded to Chinese pressure.

The US. Navy was going to conduct maneuvers in the Yellow Sea with the South Korean navy. The Yellow Sea is a perfectly logical place for such maneuvers because it is on the west coast of South Korea. However, China pressured the Obama administration into cancelling American naval exercises in that region, and Obama “caved” to the Chinese demands. You can read the entire disheartening story in the first link. The link does observe that: “As a result…the failure to send the carrier will be viewed by China as a sign of US weakness and will undermine US efforts to maintain freedom of navigation to the Western Pacific near China.”  That observation is, of course, correct. Each time Obama caves in to Chinese pressure, he invites even more Chinese pressure in the future. China is learning that they can easily “bully” Obama into doing whatever China wants. You can be sure the rest of the world’s nations also are noticing that Obama is displaying weakness over and over again vis a vis China when he should be asserting US national strength. Obama apparently does not “get it” that each time he “caves” to China’s pressures, he loses credibility with all nations throughout the world as they see him an increasingly weak leader of the western world.

In all fairness, we do not know what China is threatening to do behind the scenes if Obama does not submit to Chinese pressures. The USA is increasingly playing a weak hand with China because the USA is such a profligate spender/debtor nation and China is the USA’s primary creditor nation. Chinese lenders have every right to be concerned about the unprecedented financial profligacy being practiced by the Obama administration and Democratic Congress, even as any banker would be concerned about a deadbeat borrower who keeps buying expensive things when he can’t even handle his current level of debt. This inexorable financial reality is stated clearly in Proverbs 22:7. Even a tough-minded, mature president would feel great coercive pressure from China due to America’s past and current financial sins.

However, Americans are only delaying a very tough choice. China is probing to see if the USA has any national resolve left, and so far the Obama administration has only signaled weakness. China will continue to pressure the USA into doing what it wants to progressively weaken the USA until it falls like ripe fruit into China’s hands. Unless the US government admits to the American people that America’s debtor status to China means that as a nation, Americans must “bite the bullet” and accept a lower living standard and pay the penalties of our national financial sins, we can expect to see China gain the “whip hand” more and more over the Obama administration. However, that would require the USA’s political classes to admit their own gargantuan mismanagement of the US economy and dollar, and they are not likely to admit their own sins. They will likely continue to “band aid” the worsening problems right up to the time when the prophesied collapse of the globalist economic/monetary system occurs (as prophesied in Revelation 17-18).

Finally, I’ll offer an update to my July 19th blog citing the tensions between the Obama White House and the Pentagon re: a required (and overdue) report on the extent of Chinese military threat to the USA. To state the problem succinctly, the White House doesn’t want to tell the truth in that report, and the Pentagon is balking.  The White House is likely finding it hard to come up with a sugar-coated lie that the Pentagon can sign off on. The second link below notes that the report about China’s military is now five months late, and five GOP Senators are making noises about the delay. It also cites “China’s dangerous arrogance” in its dealings with the USA. Expect that arrogance to grow until Obama finds his backbone in dealing with China.

FORMER CIA CHIEF WARNS US ATTACK ON IRAN “MORE LIKELY”

July 27th, 2010

Former CIA Director Michael Haden has warned that a US attack against Iran has now become “more likely.” Mr. Hayden served as CIA Director under President Bush. I noticed this story in a very brief mention in USA Today’s print issue yesterday, and a websearch netted the first three links that I have provided below. The USA Today story also quoted Mr. Hayden as telling CNN in an interview that military action vs. Iran now “seems inexorable.” That’s a pretty strong statement. As a former CIA Director, Mr. Hayden is in a position to know about such matters. Let’s dig deeper into this story.

The fourth link, from Debka.com, offers an underlying reason for the USA’s new consideration of a military attack vs. Iran’s nuclear facilities. It reports that Saudi Arabia has essentially given the US an ultimatum do either “do something” about Iran’s nuclear program or “Saudi Arabia and its allies will go their own way on the nuclear issue.” As my previous blogs have noted, the Israelis and the Saudis are being pushed closer together to take action against Iran if the USA does nothing. My July 25th blog included a link that the Israeli Mossad Chief recently made a secret visit to Saudi Arabia to consult with his Saudi counterparts. That visit may have been to coordinate a strike vs. Iran if Obama does nothing.

Notice that the Saudi ultimatum to Obama does not name which nations are Saudi Arabia’s “allies” in opposing Iran. If the Israelis, Saudis and others take independent action against Iran, it will make President Obama look even weaker and more ineffective than he already looks to the world community. If the Debka link is accurate, it is Saudi Arabia which may be forcing Obama to take action against Iran. The Debka report is strongly supported by the information in the final link below. That link reports that the Ambassador to the USA from the United Arab Emirates (a Saudi ally) openly called on the USA to use military force against Iran. The UAE Ambassador was quoted as saying he “absolutely” supports the use of force by the USA vs. Iran. However, the story also reports the UAE backtracked from what their Ambassador said after the UAE received pressure from Iran. I think the UAE Ambassador “let the cat out of the bag” re: what several Sunni Arab nations are telling President Obama behind closed doors.

The second link includes a slideshow about Iran’s nuclear program and a short videoclip about Iran’s President promising retaliation if Iran is attacked. If a war breaks out in the Mideast, the lives of Americans could be changed quickly and dramatically. I have mentioned this before, but I hope that you are taking the actions suggested in my article, Should Christians Prepare for Future Hard Times, available at the articles link at this website. That article includes advice on how to prepare for emergencies from official US federal agencies.

Don’t expect to hear much about this important story from the establishment media. They are far too busy telling you about such matters as what is happening in Lindsey Lohan’s life.

IS TURKEY ABOUT TO “GO NUCLEAR”?

July 26th, 2010

The link below, from the World Tribune, indicates that Turkey is about to make a decision to arm itself with nuclear weapons. Given that Israel and Russia are nuclear powers in its region and Iran is poised to be one as well, Turkey will be relegated to regional insignificance if it does not become a nuclear power. Given Turkey’s recent forsaking of its alliance with Israel and its budding alliance with Iran and Syria, this is more bad news for NATO and the West.

The report below asserts that “nuclear weapons research has long been underway, under conditions of extreme secrecy, in Turkey” and that Turkey has made a decision to “press ahead as rapidly as possible with the nuclear weapons and nuclear power programs.”  This would not be a worry if Turkey was solidly in the NATO camp, but it is now only nominally a NATO member given its growing ties with Iran and Syria. Indeed, there is a way that Turkey could become a nuclear power very quickly.

The link cites a report that the USA still stores “an estimated 90 B61 [nuclear] gravity bombs at the Incirlik Air Base” in Turkey. It adds that “fifty of these bombs are reportedly assigned for delivery by US pilots and 40 are assigned for delivery by the Turkish Air Force” (emphasis added). No US warplanes are reportedly stationed with any regularity at Incirlik Air Base. I wonder how well these nuclear weapons are guarded by American forces? If Turkey makes a decision to formally abandon its NATO ties and embrace Iran and Syria, might Turkey send its military to seize control of the 90 US nuclear bombs (or at least the 40 assigned to the Turkish Air Force) and declare that they now belong to the Turkish government? Indeed, might it not do this on its own to set itself up quickly as a superior nuclear power to Iran in its region of the world? The USA can no longer assume that Turkey will stay a US ally, so it would be most unwise for the USA to leave those nukes at a Turkish air base where they could be seized in the future by a hostile Turkey.

The report opines that any Turkish decision to “go nuclear” would drive Greece ever-closer into a strategic alliance with the Israelis and their nuclear deterrent power. I agree with that analysis. Turkey seems eager to restore its former power and influence that was once projected by the Ottoman Empire into the Balkans, the Mideast and even the horn of Africa.

I have identified Turkey as the Edomite nation descended from the Edomite clan of Teman (Genesis 36:15, 34). Note the similarity in the consonants of the word Teman (T-M-N) and the Ottoman Empire (TT-M-N). Edom (or Esau) is not named in Ezekiel 38 as an ally of the Gog-Magog alliance, which will include Iran (“Persia”), but the words (“and many people with you”) in Ezekiel 38:6 allows for unnamed nations to be part of that latter-day alliance. It is possible that Turkey will revert to a pro-NATO stance if its leadership changes in the future, but it now seems poised to take one of two courses: (A) openly ally itself with Iran (which would eventually mean an alliance with Russia and China since all these nations are allies in the Gog-Magog alliance), or (B) become an independent nuclear power and “go its own way” as it tries to restore the glory days of the Ottoman Empire. The latter option seems the most likely, but this situation needs to be watched very closely. The USA and NATO have so far given no indication that they realize the danger Turkey’s recent actions pose to the USA and NATO.

IS SABOTAGE SLOWING IRAN’S NUKE PROGRAM?

July 25th, 2010

As I’m sure most readers know, there have been reports floating around for years now that an Israeli (and possibly an American) military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities was imminent or only months away. So far none of those reports or predictions have come to pass. This blog cites evidence that the “attacks” may have been occurring for some time, but the attacks were clandestine intelligence operations, not open military attacks.

The first link (sent by a reader) cites an article in which the Financial Times, a mainstream publication, raises the possibility that the Iranian nuclear program has been hampered and held back by clandestine spy operations. Evidence cited includes statements from the IAEA and scientists that Iran’s centrifuge operations have been reduced and are less efficient than they should be. While the article raises the possibility that technical incompetence could be the reason for this slowing up of Iran’s nuclear program, I personally think that clandestine intelligence operations are more likely the real reason for Iran’s nuclear program problems. Iran has long had Russian, Chinese and North Korean technical help in their nuclear program (Russia supplied the reactor) and these nations have plenty of technical expertise to share with Iran. They are also all allies in the Gog-Magog alliance which is prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39 to come into existence in the latter days of our age.

The second link offers support for a clandestine intelligence operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities. It states that Meir Dagan, the Mossad Chief, secretly visted with his intelligence counterparts in Saudi Arabia recently about the mutual concerns these two nations have re: the growing Iranian nuclear/military threat. This raises the possibility that Iran’s nuclear facilities are being sabotaged not only by Israeli agents, but by Sunni Arab Moslems posing as Iranian Shiites. If this is happening, I’m sure the Israeli Mossad would be happy to provide whatever technical help was necessary for the Saudis to get the job done.

There is more evidence of a clandestine war being waged against Iran’s nuclear program. The final link has a number of articles and segments (scroll down to find them all) which document that the Israeli Mossad has been warring against Iran’s nuclear program behind the scenes. One segment entitled Slowing Down Iran’s Nuclear Program states that “Iranian scientists have gone missing, equipment sent to Iran for its nuclear program arrived broken, warehouses in Europe where equipment for Iran’s nuclear program was being stored went up in flames and Iran has been plagued by a number of mysterious military plane crashes.” I’m pretty sure we all agree that these are not all “coincidences” or “bad luck.” One segment in the third link also asserts that American and British agents have also been active in delaying the progress of Iran’s nuclear program. Such efforts are successfully buying time for diplomacy to work or other options to be put in place, but the time is coming when intelligence operations will not be enough to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions. That is when the Israelis, the Americans and the West will have to make some hard decisions.

THE ISRAELIS ARE NOT WITHOUT FRIENDS

July 24th, 2010

A few days ago, I did a blog that Greece was moving into the position of a strategic ally with the Israelis, filling the void created by Turkey’s abandoning its recent ties to the Israelis. The first link below confirms these ties are becoming steadily stronger as Greece’s Prime Minister visited Israel personally as these two nations pursue a “major upgrade of [their] relations.” There is more good news for the Israelis!

The second link documents that the Finnish people are very pro-Israeli. My book, Israel’s Tribes Today, identify the Finns as the modern Israelite tribes of Issachar. The third link also has some very encouraging news for the Israelis and their future military security. In spite of the well-publicized strains between the Israelis and the Obama administration, the Israelis are expected to become the first nation to be approved for ordering the new F-35 fighter warplane to be built by the USA in concert with several NATO allies. The Israelis were approved to buy this new American warplane in 2008 so that approval occurred during the previous Bush administration. However, it is good news that the Obama administration appears to be honoring that agreement to share this new strategic warplane with the Israelis. The fourth link also confirms that the USA and the Israelis are maintaining many strategic and military cooperation efforts. Many may be surprised to know that  under the Obama administration, the US just authorized the “largest security assistance request for Israel in US history.” So readers should comfort themselves that there is still a lot of strength in the American-Israeli alliance.

The fifth link (albeit from late in 2009) reports that military/strategic ties between India and the Israelis is also growing much stronger. It notes that the Israelis have now become the primary supplier of military weaponry to India, displacing Russia, which had previously been the prime supplier of weaponry to India. There are a number of previous blogs at my website documenting a variety of military cooperation efforts between India and the Israelis, and this growing alliance unites the power of two strong regional nuclear powers. A number of recent blogs have cited various media sources which reported increasing cooperation behind the scenes between the Israelis on one hand and the Sunni Arab nations on the other due to their jointly being threatened by the rising militarism of Iran.

Amidst the media reports about the Israelis being “isolated” in international politics due to the ongoing tensions over the Gaza/Hamas maritime blockade and the longstanding Palestinian-Israeli stresses, I thought it would be useful to remind readers that the Israelis have strong allies as well. While Zechariah 12:2-3 does prophecy that God will defend the Israelis (consistently called “Judah” in biblical narratives and prophecies) even if “all the people of the earth be gathered against it,” we are nowhere near a situation where all nations are opposed to the Israeli nation. If Turkey continues to forsake the West (and NATO and the EU) by its bizarre embrace of Iran and Syria, Greece may not be the only European nation to develop stronger ties with the Israelis. Many nations in Europe could eventually follow Greece’s example as well. Previous blogs have also noted that Germany is a prime supplier of very strategic weaponry to the Israelis: the Dolphin-class submarines widely believed to be equipped with nuclear-armed cruise missiles. So take heart all you supporters of the Israelis! The Israelis are not as isolated in the world as the mass media sometimes indicate.

“EUROPE FREEZES OUT GOLDMAN SACHS”

July 22nd, 2010

This blog bears the title of an article which was posted at the guardian.co.uk website (a British media source). This report is in the first link below, and it details the reluctance (or unwillingness) of European governments to do business with Goldman Sachs due to its unscrupulous business practices. Goldman Sachs is arguably the premier Wall Street banking firm, and if European nations are declining to do business with Goldman Sachs, they may also shy away from doing business with any Wall Street banking firms. This signals an obvious lack of trust in Wall Street banks by European nations, and we can be sure that other nations outside of Europe are likely to be just as leery of trusting Wall Street banks right now.

The article states that “European governments are turning their backs on Goldman Sachs,” and that “Greece, Spain, France and Italy have all denied [Goldman Sachs] a lead role in their recent sovereign bond sales.” It adds that “governments have also been shocked at the emergence of past transactions between Goldman and Greece and Italy, where products the bank helped to sell aided both in hiding government debts.” While Germany is not named in the first link, Germany’s pique at Goldman Sachs is documented in the second link below.

The third link below documents the close ties between Goldman Sachs and the Obama White House. It includes the statement that “Goldman’s connections to the White House and the Obama administration are raising eyebrows.” This raises an interesting political consequence for the Obama White House. Given that a number of European nations have reportedly lost their trust for Goldman Sachs, does it not follow that they will also lose their trust of President Obama and his administration if the White House remains close to Goldman Sachs?

As long-time readers of this blog realize, this has prophetic implications. Revelation 18:3 prophesied that a great globalist economic/commercial/monetary system known as “Babylon the Great” would dominate global politics and business in the latter days, and that it would feature an alliance of the globalist “merchants of the earth” and the “kings of the earth.”  That aptly describes the current globalist world system where global multinational corporations and the leaderships of national governments are “in bed” with each other in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the governed (exactly as Revelation 18:3 prophesied would be the case). Revelation 17-18 prophesy that this globalist system will collapse in the latter days and eventually be replaced by a new global power called the “beast” system in biblical prophecies. The current global system of Babylon the Great almost collapsed in the Autumn of 2008, and there are growing signs that its global power is being weakened. The fact that European national governments are openly distancing themselves from the lead Wall Street banking firm confirms that there are major cracks developing in the foundations of the current global political/economic system. The fall of Babylon the Great draws closer with each new sign that the nations are growing disgusted with Babylon the Great’s self-dealing and that they increasingly want to throw off its dominance. If this much disgust is being revealed openly in the media, one can only wonder how deep the anger really has become behind the scenes.

For a more in-depth examination of the process via which Babylon the Great’s current system could collapse in the future, I invite you to read my article, Is Babylon the Great about to Fall…Ushering in a New Beast System? For an in-depth look at why the Bible refers to today’s global economic system as “Babylon the Great,” I invite you to read my article, What Kind of Captivity? Both of these titles can be accessed at the Articles link of my website, and the latter one will detail that the origins of today’s global economic system originated in ancient Babylon.

ISRAELIS DEPLOYING NEW HI-TECH WEAPONRY

July 20th, 2010

The Israeli military has deployed two new weapons systems in its ongoing efforts to defend itself from attacks by Iran and its Syrian, Hezbollah and Hamas proxies. The first new weapons system is very important, given that Hezbollah has been reported to have up to 60,000 rockets and missiles to fire at Israeli targets in any new war. The Israelis have successfully tested and will be deploying “in the coming weeks” its new Iron Dome anti-missile system which is designed to intercept and shoot down the many short-range missiles that are in the arsenals of Hezbollah and Hamas. The first link below is not clear whether the Iron Dome system also works against longer-range missiles, but it does state that the system has made a successful test against a missile which fit the profile of a “longer range Grad-model Katyusha” rocket. Israeli citizens will sleep much better with this new anti-missile system in place.

The second link reveals that the Israelis have developed a new form of nanotechnology-based paint which, when applied to the surface of “regular” warplanes and missiles, renders them into “stealth” weapons without having to alter their airframes or designs. This is a huge development. It could make, for example, Iranian radars unable to detect Israeli warplanes or missiles until it is too late to defend against attacks from Israeli warplanes or missiles equipped with this new “stealth” paint. It also could be a huge money-maker for the Israeli defense industry. If nations can convert older-model warplanes, missiles, etc. into stealthy weaponry by using this new Israeli nanotechnology-based paint, it revolutionizes the war-fighting capabilities of many nations. It also would mean that nations could “make do” with their old warplanes without having to purchase expensive new, stealth aircraft. The link also reports that this new technology can be used to make ground forces more “stealthy” as well.

Given the extensive spying efforts of Russia and China, the Israelis will need to be very careful regarding the nations which are allowed to buy this new “stealth” paint. There are, no doubt, people in many nations who would be willing to give samples of this new stealth paint to Russian and Chinese spies for cash or “other considerations” if they have an opportunity to do so.

These links show that the likelihood of a successful Iranian-instigated attack by Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas against the Israelis seems to be lessening. A previous blog also documented that Syria, beset by drought and disease, is not in much of a condition to wage war against the Israelis even if the Iranians want them to do so.

The second link below also reveals that nanotechnology developments are leading to ever-more military applications. Several of my previous blogs have discussed the Chinese nanotechnology weapons programs which could become a new Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) which combines nanotechnology applications with human genome research. The possibilities are truly chilling, and those earlier (and related) blogs of mine are available at the third link below (a Google websearch result). Look for my blogs at the top of the page. If you click on the option which states “Show more results from stevenmcollins.com,” you will have access to a number of related (and important items).

The Chinese and Israelis are known to be working on military applications for nanotechnology weaponry, and the Israelis are apparently ready to deploy a nanotechnology-based invention to make non-stealthy warplanes into stealthy ones. Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what nanotechnology-based weapons have already been built and deployed by a number of national military forces in the world without those of us in the general public knowing anything about them.

OBAMA TELLS PENTAGON TO DOWNPLAY CHINA THREAT

July 19th, 2010

This is a blog which I intended to write awhile ago, but it got lost in the shuffle of things that came to my attention. This blog is to give you what I think is an important piece of information. The link below, from the Washington Times, reveals that the Obama White House is putting pressure on the Pentagon to withhold from Americans the real extent of the military danger posed by China.

The link discusses a Pentagon report that was being held up because the Obama administration wanted it watered down to not mention China’s new military threats to the USA, and to focus instead on some imaginary “US-China military ‘cooperation.’” The link below notes that such a skewed emphasis is a “tough sell” because there basically isn’t any real American-Chinese military cooperation.

Specifically, it was the White House’s National Security Council that pressured the Pentagon to change its report so it hid evidence of China’s growing military threats to America. Such threats include “China’s decade-long buildup of new strategic and conventional missiles, aircraft, warships and other high-tech weapons.” The Obama White House also was trying to remove any mention of China’s new aircraft-carrier-killing ballistic missile, about which I blogged previously. As of when this link was written, it appeared that the real extent of China’s military threat was only going to be published in a “classified” version of the report while the “public” version of the report would hide the real truth that China is a growing military threat to the national security of the USA.

The material in this link certainly indicates that the National Security Council is either in China’s hip pocket or is so co-opted by Chinese influence that it cannot tell the truth to the American people about the growing Chinese military threats to the USA. For balance it must be noted that the Bush administration also faced these same pressures to water-down China’s military threats to the USA. I suspect the fact that China is the USA’s biggest creditor nation gives it huge influence behind the scenes over the US government’s actions, again proving the immutable power of Proverbs 22:7′s warning against debt. The US government is China’s “borrower” so it is increasingly is becoming a ”servant” to China. Americans should be very concerned about this development. The link’s information indicates that the US government has lost the ability to tell Americans the truth about the growing danger posed to America by China’s military power. The prophecy of Ezekiel 38-39, however, is not muzzled. It warns us that Russia, China, Iran and their allies will create a military alliance that will eventually attack the USA, NATO and the nations allied to them. Current geopolitical developments document that the global stage is inexorably being set for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39 in a future year. This link clearly shows that Americans can no longer rely on their own government to tell them the truth about the military threats posed to our nation by China and its Russian and Iranian allies.
