MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

(Translation) – “Threats, clashes and gatherings of ‘jeunes’ are shaking day-to-day life in certain districts, especially those in Brussels

The period of Ramadan is bringing its share of tensions and incidents in the streets of Brussels. It has only been six days since the month characterised by the Muslim fast has begun. However, the local police in Moelenbeek has already received threats in relation to this period – indirect, it is true – of attacks against public buildings. ‘These threats involved the possibility of grenades being launched at a police station in Moelenbeek or any other public building such as the town hall or community centre.’

Threats which were taken very seriously. Suddenly, at the end of last week and this weekend, the western police zone raised its state of alert and reinforced its security regime. ‘We were all on guard. Police numbers were reinforced on the ground as well as technical resources, like cameras, to observe any excesses.'” Read more.

By Patrick Goodenough, CNS News – “For the second time in less than a year, Iran’s top naval commander has said Iranian Navy vessels will soon be plying the Atlantic Ocean, having made great strides in recent years in expanding its presence beyond Iranian waters.

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari’s comments came on the same day Iran launched its first domestically-built oil tanker. The 21,000-ton vessel, capable of carrying up to 750,000 barrels of oil, was ordered by Venezuela, and Sayyari’s remarks raise the possibility that a warship may escort the tanker on its delivery sailing to Iran’s Latin American ally.

Iran has also established close ties with Cuba, another potential destination for an Iranian Navy Atlantic voyage.

‘The navy has carried out successful activities in open seas, and in the near future we will witness the presence of the navy in the Atlantic Ocean,’ the Mehr news agency quoted Sayyari as saying.

‘The powerful presence of Iranian Navy in the high seas has proven the Islamic Republic’s might,’ he said.” Read more.

By Gabe Kahn, INN – “Syria’s rebels late Monday charged the regime has moved its chemical weapon stockpiles to airports and airbases on its borders with neighboring countries.

‘We in the joint command of the Free Syrian Army inside the country know very well the locations and positions of these weapons,’ Syria’s largest rebel group said in a statement.

‘We also reveal that Assad has transferred some of these weapons and equipment for mixing chemical components to airports on the border,’ it added.

The move comes just one day after the embattled regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad warned it could use unconventional weapons if attacked by “an outside force.”

Analysts say, if true, that moving the weapons is likely a bid by Damascus to pressure the international community, which is at loggerheads over whether to intervene in 16-months of slaughter in Syria.

Western powers and their Gulf Arab allies have called for an end to Assad’s reign, and pressed for comprehensive international sanctions or even direct intervention.

Russia, with billions of dollars at risk should Assad fall, and China, a major consumer of Syrian oil, have shielded Damascus on three separate occasions at the UN Security Council.

‘According to our information, the regime began moving its stocks of weapons of mass destruction several months ago, with the goal of putting pressure on the region and the international community,’ the FSA said.

The rebel group, comrpised of over 30,000 Syrian army defectors commanded by dissident officers who fled to neighboring Turkey, has also reportedly formed its own special unit to secure Damascus’ chemical weapons stores.

The United States on Monday issued a sharp warning to Damascus that it should not think even ‘one iota’ about using chemical weapons.” Read more.

PA TV host: “Artist Abd Al-Hai Msallam has been dealing with the Palestinian nation’s problems, such as the Gaza massacres. What have you been working on lately? This painting is about the Gaza massacre.”

Artist Abd Al-Hai Msallam: “Here I show the people, the children, and the Zionist enemy’s cruelty and savagery.”

[The painting shows a monster impaling children on his bayonet and eating them one by one. On the lower right, dead children are piled up to be eaten and two baby monsters are also shown eating children. The three monsters wear skull caps with a Star of David. The scene takes place in the monster’s underground lair, just under cacti that are growing on the surface. A Star of David is also painted on the lock of the lair.]

Host: “Do you believe that if something happens, the Iranians will take simultaneous action?”

General Ahmad Mansouri (Ret): “Both Iran and Syria will take action. Don’t forget that President Morsi said: ‘We heed the call of Islam! We heed the call of Arabism!’ with regard to the revival of the joint Arab defense agreement. The Egyptian military will not leave the powerful Syrian Arab army alone in the battlefield. This may be a good opportunity for Israel to learn that when Egypt and Syria unite, the end will be like in the days of Saladin. Moreover, the US must never forget the humiliation and harsh lesson that it was taught in the days of President Carter, when Iran humiliated America for 400 days in the US embassy affair. The US must never forget this lesson. It must never forget how its airplanes and helicopters collided. Today there is a fourth version of the Sejjil missile… Back then, a large barrage of missiles rained down upon US forces, humiliating and terrorizing them in Iran. Let’s not forget that.”

Host: “I’d like you to clarify that point, which comes as a surprise to me and many others. I think that you find this surprising too. So you’re saying that if Israel targets Syria, the Egyptian army will take action? Is this your assessment, or are you hoping that the Egyptian armed forces will not abandon another Arab army? It should be noted, with all due respect, that wars did take place over the past two decades, and that Israel did target an Arab land, in Lebanon, as well as pummeling Gaza, yet the Egyptian army did not intervene. It seems that this time you are promising us something else. Is this wishful thinking, or is it based on information, and on your assessment that the Egyptian army may intervene?”

General Ahmad Mansouri (Ret): “What happened in the past will not happen again. President Mohammed Morsi said at Tahrir Square and elsewhere: ‘We heed the call of Islam! We heed the call of Arabism!’ The joint Arab defense agreement will be activated, Allah willing.”

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu , INN – “Syrian President Bashar Assad should attack Israel, says an Iranian newspaper considered the mouthpiece of the Supreme Leader.

Iran is concerned that the fall of Assad’s regime will cost the Islamic Republic its closest ally and could ignite anti-Syrian elements in Lebanon, base of the Iranian-funded Hizbullah terrorist organization and political party.

The Kayhan newspaper, which operates directly under the supervision of the Islamic Supreme Leader of Iran, wrote last week that Assad has every reason to strike Israel because of Israel’s alleged responsibility for the bombing in Damascus, which killed several of Assad’s’ top military officers.

The suicide blast has been widely attributed to Al Qaeda or other terrorists, if not the Syrian rebels themselves, and no journalist has even implied that Israel was involved.

The newspaper’s call for war cannot be taken lightly. Kayhan ‘offers insight into the most extreme views of Iran’s leaders and into the mind-set and plans of those who are at the center of power,’ according to New York Times correspondent Michael Slackman.

The daily charged that Israel’s military deployment along the Syrian border prior to the bombing was further evidence of its responsibility for it, even though the IDF has posted troops there ever since the Six-Day War in 1967…

‘It is patently clear that Israel is currently totally unprepared for military confrontation – on the contrary, the worst possible scenario for it right now would be a confrontation with Syria,’ Kayhan wrote.

‘Such a confrontation would turn the atmosphere in the region against the Zionist regime, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and against the entire American-Zionist front – thus unifying the resistance front and making it operational.'” Read more.

Flashback: Iran Ayatollah: Kill All Jews Worldwide, Annihilate Israel – “The Iranian government, through a website proxy, has laid out the legal and religious justification for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of its people. The doctrine includes wiping out Israeli assets and Jewish people worldwide. Calling Israel a danger to Islam, the conservative website Alef, with ties to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the opportunity must not be lost to remove ‘this corrupting material. It is a ‘jurisprudential justification’ to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm.’” Read more.
