The Week That Was.....
16 October 2021
Another week spent watching in utter amazement a world descending further into COVD madness and deception.
Here in Australia the locked-down police state that is Victoria suffered through daily huge increases in apparently discovered cases of the dreaded COVID 19. This was determined by the faulty PCR testing regime.
A newly elected Premier of New South Wales relaxed the Draconian rules a little, but in doing so immediately developed a two-tier society by allowing some freedoms for those who have taken the so-called mRNA injections witholding them from those who have not.
If you want to feel like being treated as a naughty school child come and live there.
Australians are waiting nervously to see if unconstitutional "Passports" will be issued for the jabbed and how they would be administrered. With a federal electon looming PM Morrison would do well to think long and hard about dividing the society under his fumbling leadership.
Globally, everything is beginning to look like a page out of the Biblical book of Revelation with inflation beginning to appear, a banking system on the verge of collapse, crazy and wild weather, earthquakes in some very strange places, volanoes erupting world-wide, strange radio signals from supposedly alien races on other planets, and talk of restricting the buying and selling activities of certain people-groups.
How a man in a cave on a Greek Island in 96 AD could have predicted all this is simply staggering.
Maybe it is high time to skim through the Biblical prophecies to make sure you haven't missed something important??
Israel hampered in its Iran policy by bitter top-level wrangling...
15 October 15 2021
The dissonance among Israel’s leaders, alongside their solemn pledges against Iran gaining a nuclear weapon, is obstructing clear decisions on three cardinal issues:
Whether or not to go along with the deal shaping up between the Biden administration and the Iranian regime headed by President Ibrahim Raisi.
In other words, should the four-month-old Bennett government stick to Binyamin Netanyahu’s blanket opposition to any accord with Iran?
How close is Iran to becoming a nuclear threshold power?
What role do the Abraham Accords serve in the current situation: They were set up as a concerted US-Israel-Gulf Arab front against Iran and its allies, such as Syria.
Now, its members are defecting, following Saud Arabia in establishing neighborly relations with Tehran.
Could this become a bridge between Tehran and Jerusalem?
These unresolved questions are the subjects of public arguments, political and personal, in the public domain.
So who in fact should decide on answers, when the borders among the government’s mostly untried leaders are not clearly defined?
Secret talks are afoot among the US, Russia, Iran and Israel on a deal for Israel’s acceptance of Iran’s nuclear threshold state in return for US-Russian guarantees against Tehran leaping towards manufacturing a nuclear weapon.
Our sources believed that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was willing to abandon the taboo his predecessor Netanyahu had exercised against diplomacy with Iran; he appeared to be on the way to seeking the guarantees that were proposed from Washington and at his forthcoming meeting on October 22 with President Vladimir Putin at the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Judging by the way he speaks with two voices, Bennett may still be dithering between opposing positions.
In private conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her farewell visit to Israel this week, Bennett affirmed he may be heading down the diplomatic path.
This contrasted with his speech on September 27, before the UN General Assembly, when he declared that “Iran’s centrifuges are still spinning” and Israel was determined to stop them even if this meant acting on its own, having “lost patience” with Iran.
Further confusion came from the two conflicting positions clearly laid out in public remarks by two former directors of Israel’s powerful Mossad intelligence service: Ephraim Halevi declared on Monday that Israel [Binyamin Netanyahu] had made “a grave mistake” in pressuring former president Donald Trump to leave the agreement [he 2015 nuclear accord] and “more or less remove US involvement in this aspect of relations with Iran.”
Since then, Halevi said, “the situation versus Iran has become that much worse and brought Iran closer to a bomb.”
The next day, this view was challenged by his most recent successor, Yossi Cohen.
Without naming PM Bennett or Defence Minister Benny Gantz, he strongly disputed their claims that Iran is close to becoming a nuclear threshold power.
“The assertion that Iran is in a better situation than it was in the past is simply not correct,” he said, and added: “Iran’s facilities have less capacities for doing anything than they possessed in the past; and their international support has diminished.”
Cohen [pictured above] stressed that he had drawn his assessments from documents he had read two months ago when he ended his term as Mossad chief. This was a poke at Halevi, who retired as Mossad chief 19 years ago and could not be privy to up-to-date intelligence.
Each of the two former spymasters had a distinct point to make in their remarks As Mossad chief in the past year, Yossi Cohen masterminded operations designed to slow down Iran’s nuclear program,
He was therefore strongly opposed to the Bennet government’s apparent drive for an accommodation that left the program intact.
Efraim Halevi, in contrast, was keen to encourage the incumbent government’s opening to a new path of diplomatic engagement with Tehran.
Cohen objected to this path since it would tie Mossad’s hands for further pursuit of such operations as sabotaging the enrichment plant in Natanz and the assassination of the father of Iran’s nuclear program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
The other event complicating decision-making on Iran in Jerusalem was the setback faced in Washington this week by Yair Lapid, foreign minister and alternate prime minister.
He discovered that Israel had missed the train on the Abraham Accords main objective.
Whereas they were designed as part of a US-Israel-Gulf Emirates compact at the crux of an anti-Iran front, Lapid discovered that the Biden administration had found another use for this epic event.
The anti-Iran front is crumbling fast.
With Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan already on their way to détente with Tehran and its senior ally Syrian President Bashar Assad, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken explained to his Israeli visitor that the Abraham Accords were unrelated to the Iranian issue and must now serve to leverage a two-state solution for the Israel-Arab Palestinian dispute.
[Note; Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov [pictured above] just said that "there is no alternative to the two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." He added that Russia is "interested in continuing consultations with our Israeli partners on security and stability issues in the Middle East" and that "comprehensive solutions to the problems of the region must necessarily take into account the security interests of Israel."]
This was not what Lapid had come to hear. The last thing the inexperienced, hybrid Israel government is ready to face is fresh heat on the divisive Arab Palestinian issue.
The treacherous Biden administration, stacked full of anti-Semitic operatives can never be trusted to put Israel's interest to the forefront.
They will throw Israel under the bus the moment they see it affecting their Middle East interests.
Nevertheless, we must wlays remember that Iran [Persia] is a major player in the prophesied Ezekiel 38/9 coalition that will disastrously attempt to invade Israel in the latter days.
Along with her compatriots Russia and Turkey an evil thought will come to mind and as a result she will be overcome and defeated on the mountains of Israel by the very God of Israel Himself.
This momentous event, with everything now in place, cannot be very far off now?
Iran’s biggest ever Air Defence Exercise....
16 October 2021
“Ready for any threat” from US or Israel.....
As the answer to “Israel’s threats,” Iran has developed air defence systems “commensurate with any threats,” said Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard at the opening on October 13 of “Defenders of the Sky Velayat,” the largest air defense exercise Iran has ever conducted.
The general stressed that the systems taking part were produced from top to bottom by Iran’s military industry and capable of “accurately meeting any threat.”
Among them are the Khordad air defence batteries (see photo above) for downing aircraft, drones, ballistic and cruise missiles.
Other air defence systems undergoing their first trials were the Joshan and Khatam, which are claimed to be effective against low-flying targets. Also taking part are 6 varieties of homemade air defence systems, dubbed Ersad-16, Dezfoul, Majeed, Khordad-15, Khordad-3 and Tabas.
In addition, the Revolutionary Guards Air Force has sent the radar range of its Quds Pulse array to take part in the exercise, claiming it is able to detect hostile targets from a distance of 500km and an altitude of 90,000ft.
“There is no threat that we have not thought of a way to deal with,” General Sabahifard boasted.
Reliable military sources report that the message conveyed by this exceptionally wide-ranging drill is intended to reach three addresses:
A deterrent against a possible US or Israeli strike against its nuclear facilities:
To fend off a war escalation building up on the tense Iran-Azerbaijan border.
On Wednesday, Iran’s foreign minister Hosein Amir-Abdollahian plunged hastily into a series of fraught phone calls with his Azeri counterpart, Jeyhun Bayramov, in an effort to launch negotiations on their dispute.
Tehran sensed a threat to its regional interests in the arrival in Beirut on Thursday of US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland.
Her mission was termed part of the US effort to get Lebanon back on its feet from crippling instability in partnership with Arab allies.
Nuland also hopes to offer a leg up for a new project to pipeline Israeli gas to Lebanon via Egypt and Jordan.
Heavy Gunfire in Beirut.....
The eruption of heavy gunfire in Beirut this week, killing six people and injuring 32, was ascribed by Israeli and other media to a protest by the Shiite Hizballah and Amal parties against the judge investigating last year’s huge blast at the city’s port.
They accuse the judge of bias against them. The capital has never recovered from that disaster which killed 219 people and devastated the city.
Reliable sources report that this week’s outbreak of bloody violence in protest of the charges leveled against Hizballah was directed just as much against the Noland visit, as a warning to Washington to keep its hands off Tehran’s self-assigned turf.
Biden to Meet with Pope, push for Global Tax at G20 in Rome....
16 October 2021
President and fake Roman Catholic, Joe Biden will meet with Pope Francis on October 29 before attending a two-day summit of G20 leaders in Rome where he hopes to reach agreement on a Global Minimum Tax of 15%, White House officials said on Thursday.
On the second foreign trip, as far as he can remember, of his presidency, Biden will then attend the U.N. climate conference known as COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, from November 1-2 and announce by teleprompter “key actions” on the conference’s top themes, including goals for fighting climate change and forest and land use.
Biden’s visit with Pontiff Maximus comes as some Roman Catholic bishops in the United States have sought to admonish Biden for his support of abortion rights.
Biden, who apparently attends the blasphemous Roman Catholic Mass regularly will be accompanied by his wife Jill, who will also attend the meeting with Pope Francis.
“They will discuss working together on efforts grounded in respect for fundamental human dignity, including ending the COVID-19 pandemic, tackling the [non-existent]climate crisis, and caring for the poor,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement about the meeting.
Biden’s [being a staunch globalist himself] visit to Italy and Britain for meetings with major world leaders is meant to signal that the United States is re-engaging with international groups after four years of Republican former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policies.
But the trip comes amid international frustration over the chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan, a rift with unreliable ally France over an unsigned submarine deal between a French company and Australia, and question marks over the U.S. ability to meet Biden’s climate goals as lawmakers within his own Democratic Party haggle over his deceptive multitrillion-dollar legislative agenda.
Biden is likely to meet with French President and candidate for the office of anti-Christ, Emmanuel Macron, while the two leaders are in Rome, the White House official said.
At the Glasgow climate summit, Biden’s announcements about U.S. commitments of cash and action to fight ficticious global warming will be closely watched by other countries and advocacy groups who are wary of the U.S. record on climate change after Trump rightfully withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord.
