MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Psalms 83:2-5, “For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’ For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You”

If the ‘Shiite Crescent’ could, according to this former general, enter into such a war against Israel with a population mass exceeding 100 million, I’d imagine that any ‘Sunni Crescent’ would be more than willing to set aside their differences, even temporarily, with their Shia neighbors to easily double this population mass, an effort no doubt intended to ensure victory and bask in the ‘Islamic glory’ of a ‘divinely appointed destiny‘.  Due to the historic enmity between the two Islamic sects, of course, such a fragile coalition would completely fall apart if something were to go terribly wrong, and Shia and Sunni could very well all end up attacking each other instead …

Hizbullah MP Brig.-Gen. Walid Sakariya (Ret) – “Iran is the country most hostile to Israel, but Iraq serves as a buffer between Iran and the Palestine front – from the days of Saddam Hussein and until the US military presence in Iraq. Iran supports the forces of confrontation: Hamas, Hizbullah, and Syria. If, following the US withdrawal, Iraq becomes a bridge linking Iran to Syria, the Iranian forces could cross Iraq and arrive in Syria, in order to participate in a direct war on the Golan front. In that case, Israel would not be fighting Hizbullah alone. It would be fighting Hizbullah, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. This is the so-called ‘Shiite Crescent’ that they fear.  Since Iran dominates this (axis), the Arab countries refer to it as the ‘Shiite Crescent.’  If Hizbullah has 50,000 missiles and can destroy some targets in Israel, the equation will completely change when Syria and Iran join the war.  You will have the strategic superiority and a force large enough to pulverize Israel, even if this war costs you hundreds of thousands of martyrs – not just 1,000 or 2,000. You will enter this war with a population mass exceeding 100 million…

If Syria, as a confrontation country, falls, America and the Zionist enterprise will be victorious… But if Syria is victorious as a confrontation country, Israel will come to an end.”

By Dean Malik – “First they invaded; five Arab armies, from Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq all descended. Israel was a state newly formed of a small core of native Sabras from the first five Aliyas along with the battered survivors of the Holocaust and a small cadre of American and British WWII veteran volunteers. After two years of desperate fighting and a cumulative loss to Israel of over one and a half percent of its population, the conflicted ended in a stalemate, with Israel holding a swath of land measuring 9 miles in width at its narrowest, and 71 miles at its broadest, extending 263 miles from the Lebanon border in the north through the Negev Desert in the south.

Three more wars followed in 1956, 1967 and 1973, then an airline hijacking campaign, multiple hostage seizures, civilian bus and car ambushes in the 1970s and 1980s, dozens of suicide bombings in the 1980s and 1990s, and a barrage of over eight thousand short and medium range rockets right up to the present.

This September, what the Arab world could not win in war, and would not accept in peace, it will ask the United Nations to give to it through a non-binding resolution, proving in a surreal twist on Von Clauswitz, that politics is in fact the continuation of war by other means.” Read more.

‘Palestinians set date for statehood showdown at UN’ – “The Palestinians set September 20th as the date for the much-anticipated vote over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations, according to AFP. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki informed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will ask the international community to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state on the first day of the annual opening gathering at UN headquarters in New York.” Read more.

“Intelligence officials have warned Barack Obama that a dangerous regional arm of Al Qaeda is trying to produce the deadly poison ricin to use in attacks against the United States.

Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen is believed to have been trying to acquire large quantities of castor beans, which contain the toxic rich protein.

It is thought the poison would be packed around small explosives which could disperse the white powdery substance on detonation.

It is so deadly that even a speck of it can kill someone if inhaled or taken into the blood stream.

The poison was used in the 1978 assassination in London of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov and, in 2002, police raided a facility said to be plotting its manufacture in the UK capital.

Al Qaeda intend on detonating the explosives in enclosed areas like shopping centres and airports.” Read more.

Cities Receive Funding For Anthrax Response Planning – “Five U.S. urban centers have been awarded federal funding to implement plans to have U.S. Postal Service workers disperse medical countermeasures to area residents in the event of an anthrax attack, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy reported on Wednesday. The Boston Public Health Commission, the Philadelphia Public Health Department, the San Diego Health and Human Services Agency and the Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government in Kentucky have each received $50,000 from the Health and Human Services Department to carry out preparations and response drills.” Read more.
