MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Talk about stating the obvious. There are quite a few nations that have nuclear programs of their own, but unlike Iran, none of them are driven by the ideology of a Satanic death cult seeking to hasten the reappearance of the “Islamic messiah“, promising to wipe Israel off the map and annihilate all Jews worldwide …

UPI – “Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, said Sunday the West was more fearful of Iran’s fervent Islam than its nuclear program.

The religious leader spoke Sunday at the 23rd anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomenei and claimed Iran was stronger than ever despite Western efforts to keep the country at bay.

‘What the enemies of Iran fear, and must fear, is not a nuclear Iran but the Islamic Iran,’ Khamenei said.

Khamenei said that despite international opposition, Iran had made major strides in science and defense technology.

The Fars News Agency said Iran earlier this year embarked on a major military modernization program that included next-generation radar, guided weapons and missiles.

Khamenei also claimed Iran was accomplishing its goals without the assistance of other nations, the Islamic Republic News Agency IRNA said. ‘We have no need to foreign experts in undertaking our projects,’ he said.” Source – UPI.com.

Flashback: Iran: Nuclear Weapons Will Prepare Us For The Emergence Of Islamic Messiah – The Mahdi – “New evidence indicates Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wants nuclear weapons and he created a religious-based ruse to deceive the world into joining new talks. The leader intends to use those talks to buy more time to harden his weapons program, prevent an attack, and persuade world powers to lift sanctions… President Khamenei explained ‘This [possessing nuclear weapons] was the only way to secure the very essence of the Islamic revolution from the schemes of its enemies … and to prepare it for the emergence of Imam Mehdi [messiah],’ who would bring the world under Islamic rule.” Read more.

Flashback: Iran: The Mahdi will bring final victory for Islam and will reign over the whole world – “The Iranian government has produced a bone-chilling documentary that claims that Ayatollah Khamenei, President Ahmadinejad, and Hassan Nasrallah are talked about in Islamic prophecy as leaders who will wage war to bring about the arrival of the Hidden Imam, which the film says is ‘very close’ to happening… The purpose of the film is to make the case that Iran is prophetically destined to lead the war against Islam’s enemies, which is as a prelude to the appearance of the Hidden Imam, also called the Mahdi, who brings the final victory for Islam and reigns over the whole world…” Read more.

AP and Times of Israel – “PARIS — The Interior Ministry says an attack by 10 assailants on three people in southeast France was anti-Semitic, and has called for the assailants to be brought to justice. Two of the victims were hospitalized.

The office of Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Sunday that police were mobilized to arrest those behind the attack a night earlier in Villeurbanne, near the city of Lyon.

The ministry said the assailants wielded a hammer and an iron bar. One victim sustained an open wound to the head, and another suffered a neck injury. Both men wore Jewish skullcaps.

The three were attacked outside the city’s Beit Menachem Jewish school on Saturday night, according to French newspaper L’Express.

The national agency tasked with fighting anti-Semitism said the attackers were likely of North African extraction. The agency said the attackers shouted anti-Semitic insults at the victims before attacking them.

Investigators kept the incident under wraps in the hopes of catching the assailants, according to French newspaper Le Figaro.

Valls condemned the incidents and called it an attack on the Republic of France. He pledged complete police mobilization until the suspects are located.

France is home to western Europe’s largest Jewish community, estimated at about 500,000 people, and has intermittently faced bouts of violent anti-Semitism.” Read more.

Flashback: ‘Muslims are the new Nazis of Europe’ – “Well, we already knew it, but now there’s confirmation: Muslims are the new Nazis of Europe. They are responsible for at least 50% (and probably far more) of the anti-Semitic hate crimes in Europe. Don’t be shocked if that number gets mirrored here (the FBI refuses to keep publicly-released statistics on the heritage of hate-crime perpetrators here–gee, I wonder why; might get in the way of their ‘outreach’ to extremist Muslims)…” Read more.

AFP – “Israel is arming submarines supplied and largely financed by Germany with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, influential German news weekly Der Spiegel reports in its issue to be published on Monday.

The magazine said in a cover story that Berlin had until now denied any knowledge that German submarines were being used as part of an Israeli atomic arsenal.

But former high-ranking officials of the German defence ministry told Der Spiegel that the government always assumed Israel was putting nuclear warheads on the Dolphin-class vessels.

The article, based on a months-long probe, cited files from the foreign ministry in Berlin indicating the West German state was aware of the practice as early as 1961.

In Israel, foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said only: ‘I can confirm that we have German submarines. It’s no secret.

‘As for the rest, I am not in a position to talk about their capacity,’ he told AFP.

Israel is the Middle East’s sole if undeclared nuclear-armed power.

Germany has already supplied Israel with three of the submarines in question, footing most of the bill, and another three are to be delivered by 2017 under a recently signed contract.

Meanwhile Israel is weighing whether to order three more, according to the report.

‘The Germans can be proud to have ensured the existence of the state of Israel for several years to come,’ Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak was quoted by Der Spiegel as saying.

The opposition Social Democrat Party called Sunday on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government for an explanation.

‘The federal government must provide information so that we know if the submarines delivered by Germany can be potentially equipped with nuclear warheads,’ party spokesman Rolf Muetzenich told Der Spiegel.

Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said all submarines had been delivered unarmed.” Read more.

Flashback: Israel Receives Fourth German-Made Submarine Capable Of Launching Nuclear Warheads – “Israel on Thursday received its fourth German-made submarine capable of launching nuclear warheads, expanding a fleet that experts say could be used in an attack on Iran. Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the submarine would increase Israel’s capabilities and strength ‘in the face of the growing regional challenges.’ The Dolphin-type military submarine is one of six Israel has ordered from Germany, which subsidizes the submarines.” Read more.

Allvoices – “Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday said Western sanctions would not stop Tehran’s nuclear progress but would only deepen hatred of the West in the hearts of the Iranian people.

The Iranian Leader warned that any attack by Israel against its nuclear sites ‘will fall like a thunderbolt’ on the head of the Jewish state, accusing the West of ‘lying’ about the Iranian nuclear threat.

Israeli and American officials have begun to discuss the possibility of military strikes against Iran’s nuclear program since the collapse of negotiations in Baghdad between the major powers and Iran last month. ‘All options are on the table’, reiterated Wednesday the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak in an allusion to a possible attack against Iran. ‘We must find the right time before it is possible to act’.

‘If the Zionist leaders talk of military action (against Iran), it is because they are more vulnerable than ever. Any wrong decision will fall on their head as the lightning,’ stated Ayatollah Khamenei in a speech at a multi-thousand meeting in front of the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, who died 23 years ago.

The Iranian Leader further cautioned against the US plots to create a rift between Shiaa and Sunni Muslims and said, ‘Today, the Americans are using Britain’s experience in causing a religious divide among Shiaa and Sunni Muslims.’

On Saturday, according to the Fars news agency, General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the military adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said : Iran will retaliate against any attack on its nuclear sites with ‘proportionate action’

He reiterated that Israeli and U.S. bases in the Middle East as well as the U.S. Fifth Fleet in the Gulf were within range of the large arsenal of Iranian missiles.” Read more.
