In my current series I have written about the military aspects of any attack on Iran by the US and or Israel. I again repeat that Israel cannot carry out this attack without the help of the US. The intended use of a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb which has been specifically designed against Iran can only be dropped from a US aircraft. The weapon is now ready for usage but some fine tuning on the aircraft to carry it is still underway. One aircraft, the B52 has already successfully carried out the first drop test but this aircraft is extremely vulnerable to detection and attack and may only be able to carry one such weapon as it is around 30,000 lbs in weight.
The B-2 Stealth bomber on the other hand has been converted to carry two of these monsters in their in line bomb bays as shown in the picture on the next page. This therefore directly implicates US involvement in any such action. The B-2 is the obvious platform because of its stealth capability. However, if Iran just so happens to have an over the horizon radar then even this big bird may be detectable. I have decided to write a brief article on the current situation before writing Part 3 - The Economic Damage that such an attack will have on the US, UK, EU and even the Israeli economy. In order to clarify and support my last article on some aspects of the environmental contamination I have drawn up an air flow chart to clearly show the dangers of such a mission that will consume the entire Middle East including Israel itself within 2 days of the attack. The map is shown at the end of this article.
Before going into this aspect I would like to draw attention to a couple of articles currently floating around. The first one is from the former Chief of Staff Dan Halutz who yesterday said the following: "We are taking upon ourselves a task that is bigger than us" "I think that the State of Israel should not take it upon itself to be the flag-bearer of the entire Western world in the face of the Iranian threat, I'm not some passer-by ... I've filled a few positions that give me a different level of information to the average person," From my own perspective I have been in both Military and Civil Aviation and fully understand the grave danger and task that faces the IAF. This would be an impossible mission for them to carry out alone. The ex Chief himself is ex Israeli Air Force and therefore knows the consequences.
To re enforce my own interpretation of these grave dangers we can look at comments made by the chairman of the US military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen who is also concerned about the consequences of any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities: "The outbreak of a conflict will be a big, big, big problem for all of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike," note the term “all of us.” One can clearly see that the US will be involved in this and may well try to turn it into a NATO war based on the policy of “An attack on one is an attack on all”……..now you can see the true axis of evil at work. He quoted Obama in a passing statement by saying that the US President had been very clear from a policy standpoint: “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.”…..I am sure that both the US and UK could enhance the availability of the odd WMD here and there in their previous dirty history!
Let’s now look at another article in which the “Iron Fist” lady Hilary Clinton made the following statement regarding Iran: "That is how we see it. We see that the government of Iran, the supreme leader, the president, the parliament, is being supplanted and that Iran is moving towards a military dictatorship. That is our view." She was asked if the US planned to attack Iran. Her response was : "No, we are planning to try to bring the world community together in applying pressure to Iran through sanctions adopted by the United Nations that will be particularly aimed at those enterprises controlled by the Revolutionary Guard, which we believe is, in effect, supplanting the government of Iran."
Isn’t this a case of "The pot calling the kettle black" nowhere in our more recent history have we seen such a military dictatorship as the good old US of A. We have seen a long list of Presidents and their senior staff member carry out war mongery in all corners of the globe. They even go as far as saying they are the world’s police force. We hear so many times about fighting the “Axis of Evil” and terrorism when in actual fact this refers to themselves, being the instigators!
Clinton went on to say: "We're still hoping that Iran will decide to forego any ... ambitions for a nuclear weapon," "But we cannot just keep hoping for that. We have to work to take action to try to convince the Iranian government not to pursue nuclear weapons," Perhaps we can reflect on such words when we recall the timeline trail of evil dealings carried out by the US, UK and many EU countries who have created this WMD scenario.
The West including Israel has played a major role in establishing the spread of WMD’s. In earlier years when the West was in bed with Iraq and Iran and also pretended to punish South Africa there were many clandestine under the table deals going on in both nuclear WMD’s deals and also in the Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) arena.
I myself found how easy it was to bypass the so called stringent economic sanctions on South Africa….. as an example, one could purchase almost anything you wanted, including sophisticated military hardware and weapons. On the CBW side of things our own government allowed the transfer of CBW “know how” to go from the old Rhodesia to South Africa along with all the experts that went with it. This later developed into more sinister operations in both the WMD and CBW areas which again our government and the US were aware. I am sure that there are many retired and existing political figures who may well tremble with fear knowing that we the public know how they operated and like all good Intel operators keep duplicated records in all corners of the globe. The problem we see today is the fact that the Intel Operators of today are rushed through their training and like our soldiers in Afghanistan are rather young and do not have the experience and knowledge that time brings to those much older.
How can Obama, Clinton, Gates, Brown, Miliband and that half whit Bob Ainsworth truly paint a picture of what others nations have done or are doing when they themselves fed them the ability to create both WMD’s and CBW’s. There is a very clear paper trail showing how this came about. One should especially look at the era when John Major and the “Iron Lady” Thatcher were in power, followed by the take over by Blair and now Brown. The links are totally beyond imagination and directly involve not only senior political figures but also junior politicians at the time. One should not miss out on Knights of the Garter…..unfortunately when the Queen bestowed this high office upon them with the sword she did not know their illustrious background…..maybe a full swing of the sword would have been more appropriate!!
I have no doubt that a whole string of high profile figures are deeply routed in sinister and covert operations. Ethics no longer take centre stage but rather it’s a case of fillings ones wallet or boosting your electoral funds. We the tax payer have on a regular basis been hoodwinked into parting with vast sums of money when such things as the world’s financial collapse was orchestrated by those one would call the “The New World Order.”
A classic example of an untrustworthy government is the case of the notorious Chinook Helicopter saga. We may recall that this helicopter has had many problems with its software package (as have many other military aircraft). I myself have seen aircraft kept in service because they cannot replace them or do not have the finances to upgrade them. One can cast our minds back to the Chinook that crashed into the hillside in the Mull of Kintyre (1994). This aircraft was one such aircraft that had faulty software and in poor weather conditions ploughed into the hillside with not only a top quality pilot and crew but many senior staff members who all died in such tragic circumstances.
The UK military flight-test centre at Boscombe Down had serious concerns about the reliability and safety of the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system used to run the RAF Chinook Mark 2's engines. The FADEC system, which interposes software between the pilot and direct control of the engine's fuel flow - much as many modern "fly-by-wire" systems eliminate mechanical connection between cockpit controls and aeroplane elevators, ailerons etc, was just being introduced when Chinook ZD576 crashed in poor visibility in June 1994, killing all 29 people on board.
It became obvious that with this upgrade this Chinook would not have crashed but as usual the crews are always guilty until proven guilty. An initial RAF investigation concluded that the pilots had made an error and flown the helicopter into the ground, a mistake which is all too easy to make when flying on instruments at low level in poor visibility. However the pilots' families and campaigners on their behalf have always said that a problem with the FADEC software might instead have caused an engine on the helicopter to go out of control and cause a crash.
I also know from information received out in the battlefield in Afghanistan that many of the Chinook fleet also were grounded with software problems. Then we had dear old Bob Hainsworth announcing that new Chinooks would be made available in Afghanistan during 2012/13 which is when the US intend to pull out and hand control back to the Afghans……now you can see the pathetic way our respective governments put our troops at grave risk. Add to that the over zealous use of weapons containing uranium components and we can see that our government is prepared to sacrifice our troops and thousands of innocent civilians all in the name of oil and economic greed..
So there we have it…..no doubt soon the main political parties will be waving their wallets at the Pro Israeli Lobby Groups to support them in their respective campaigns. What I would ask is would you vote for anyone who had blood on their hands or who had done some very shonky deals in the past? Would you vote for anyone who had in the past allowed countries to acquire WMD’s or CBW’s all in the name of hard cash? Would you vote for a government who covered up Dr Kelly’s death or who rigged the Chilcott Inquiry with people connected to Blair….who probably orchestrated the questions and made them availabe to those being interviewed. It was also clear that the start and finish dates that formed the basis of the inquiry left out periods that were so vital in the reasons for going to war. Blair was never cross examined intensively on where he got this information regarding the WMD 45 minute issue.
This article has been specifically written to point out to those in high office, who doubt my assumptions or interpretations, that both the US and Israel will be involved and also that the catastrophic fallout will bring not only the entire Middle East to its knees (not for knighthood purposes) but will cause immeasurable damage to the rest of the world both environmentally and economically. The only ones to gain out of this are those associated with the “New World Order” and the major oil companies and arms manufacturers.
It is time for the Arab League and the people of Israel itself to fully understand that this could well be a path of self destruction and despite any hatred that may exist this really does not make sense.
If we all want to learn a lesson we must understand that the US, UK, EU and Israel really do need to look deep within their foreign policy and to stop this incredible greed and thirst for someone else’s natural resources at no matter what the price. This philosophy is pure madness and the only way we can resolve any of the current political differences is to stop these wars and pull our head back in…….close down all western military bases on Islamic soil and start trading with the Arab League instead of intimidating them. Only then will terrorism stop and our world return to a more balanced way of life. Oh and lets not forget to stop the manufacturing and use of all weapons that contain uranium components.
“Finally Dear Hilary I think Iran may already have a WMD..I thought you knew”?

The rise and fall of Baroness Jenny Tonge A True Friend of Palestine
It is with great sadness that we see a staunch supporter of the Palestinian people removed from her position as Health Spokeswoman for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords. This is a clear sign of the political power that the Pro Israeli Lobby have over all political leaders and their party. This does not stop here in the UK but also extends throughout the US and the EU. So what caused such a dramatic response from the Lib Dems?
I guess dear Jenny has been fighting the traitors of all political parties for some time especially those who appear to pay more attention to their election campaign funds tha keeping a moral and ethical stance in the Houses of Parliament. They appear to protect those that financially prop them up in return for support or favour of anything that aids the Pro Israeli cause. The Friends of Israel are certainly not a group to be taken lightly and should you cross swords with them you can expect severe repercussions as Jenny has now found out.
Some time ago I wrote about who controls the power of politics in the west and I was shocked to see the amounts of money involved in this devious manipulation of our so called democratic political system. Let's just briefly look into the sinister game of "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine." Lets first look at the three main political parties and see how it all comes together in order for potential candidates to gain a seat in the House of Commons or the House of Lords. All three mainstream parties have a specific organisation that protects them financially and at the same time promotes good PR for Israel. If one reads the speeches made it is easy to see that even if you are the devils advocate Israel can get away with brutal executions or mass killings as long as they deposit sufficient donations to cover candidates election costs.
The Conservative friends of Israel (CFI) consist of around 80% of all Conservative MP's who provide money for their respective election campaigns which obviously comes with pre conditions! One can relate to such pre conditions when Rt Hon David Cameron MP, Leader of the Conservative Party at the Conservative Party Conference, 3 October 2006 said the following:
"The Conservative Party is a true friend of Israel because we look at Israel and we see a democracy, we see a democracy that has a right to exist and a right to defend itself and that is a force for good in the world, and I want to say that as clearly as I possibly can."
It was David Cameron who appeared before the CFI lunch some months after Cast Lead and said nothing to denounce the actions of the Israeli Government in actual fact complemented Israel by say "Israel strives to protect innocent life" he also went on to say that "If I become Prime Minister, Israel will have a friend who will never turn his back on Israel."
The Ambassador of Israel, HE Zvi Heifetz, who attended a conference once said: "I know from experience that I can rely on the members of CFI to put Israel's case... The Conservative Party has long been the home of some of Israel's most outstanding advocates. For that you have my deep appreciation and my thanks."
As you would expect the following headline appeared in the CFI weekly briefing on the 22nd of October 2009: "Conservatives back rejection of UN Resolution on Goldstone Report" No doubt this attracted more funds for the upcoming elections in 2010!
Let's now look at the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI). On their website we can read the following: LFI seeks to promote a strong bilateral relationship between Britain and Israel. We work with the Government, Parliamentarians, advisers, and activists throughout the Labour movement. LFI also strengthens the bond between the British and Israeli Labour parties, organising meetings in both countries between senior figures, officials and the grassroots. "We are fundamentally sympathetic to Israel's position as a liberal democracy facing constant security dilemmas and existential threats."
It is clear that both the CFI and the LFI both benefit from huge donations whilst at the same time having the ability to respond in the right way to the donors. What is incredible about the political scene in Britain and that of the US is that if you say the wrong thing your wallet will suffer with even the possibility of being removed from office by those that hold the power. In that context one can say that the entire system is totally corrupt. Isn't it ironic that Obama, Brown, Cameron and Clegg were very critical of the Afghanistan Government in the area of corruption and yet their own palms are brushed with gold, as and when required!
All parties benefit greatly from this relationship......they are flown to Israel on a regular basis and live a life that most of use would be embarrassed by. They are basically paid to leave behind their ethical duties as MP's and continue to support Israel at whatever the cost. One would have thought that the highest priority for our chosen leaders is to address the issues our own country first. If politically speaking, one objects to the action of another country, you are free to be as critical as you wish. Democracy is all about free speech and having the ability to say what is morally or ethically wrong. The main issue with this type of funding is that it comes at a price and therefore restricts both you as an MP and your party to carry out its true purpose which is to be representative of your people
Finally lets get down to the Liberal Democrats who have bitterly attacked Jenny Tonge on other occasions and yet she has not said anything that any other responsible citizen would have said. It is clear in a democratic society that if someone is accusing you of a wrong doing then you call for an inquiry to dismiss such accusations. But before we go into those issues let just look at the Lib Dems and their relationship with Israel.
The LDFI main objectives are:
1. To Maximise support for the State of Israel within the Liberal Democrats and Parliament.
2. To develop a relationship of mutual trust and respect between the Liberal Democrats and the Jewish Community.
3. To support and promote policies which lead to peace and security for Israel in the context of a comprehensive and lasting Middle East peace settlement.
4. To encourage a broad understanding of Israel's unique political position as the only democracy in the Middle East.
Let's also take a look at its aims:
1 To influence the Party's Middle East policy so it places a high priority on Israel's right to peace and security.
2. To ensure Liberal Democrat parliamentarians are aware of the up-to-
date situation in the Middle East.
3. To provide parliamentarians with briefing material for parliamentary
debates, questions to Ministers and public appearances.
4. To rebut attacks on Israel in the media, Parliament and the Party.
5. To liaise with Israeli politicians and Government.
6. To maintain a dialogue with other parliamentary groups having an
interest in the Middle East.
7. To ensure that the British Jewish Community are aware of the activities
of LDFI
8. To develop and maintain a broad based LDFI membership inside and
outside of Parliament.
9. To arrange and accompany LDFI delegations to Israel.
10 To organise fringe events at Party conferences
11. To keep in regular contact with the Embassy of Israel.
As we can see from the above this corrupt system is firmly embedded in the politics at Westminster and huge sums of money exchange hands, especially as we near a new election in May/June. One can see all these political figures running around the Pro Israeli Lobby Groups to earn "Brownie Points."
If we cast our mind back to 2006 we saw Jenny Tonge highlighting this very fact in at a Lib Dem Conference back in 2006 when she said: "The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western world, its financial grips. I think they have probably got a certain grip on our party." The Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel leapt on the remarks when Ming Campbell said "I have acted with the maximum powers at my disposal at this time. I have written to Baroness Tonge dissociating myself and the party from her deeply offensive remarks and what I believe to be their clear anti-Semitic connotations. I have asked for a review of the disciplinary powers available to the Liberal Democrat leaders in both the House of Lords and Commons." I am sure that when Ming Campbell made this announcement his party funds would have been boosted significantly.
Back to the current time poor Jenny again got herself into deep water in relation to the many allegations made by the media that the Israelis had been taking organs whilst in Haiti. One would normally expect that if anyone is accused of such allegations over a period of time one would dispel such comments by carrying out some sort of enquiry and that is what Jenny was trying to point out when she made the following comment to the Jewish Chronicle "To prevent allegations such as these - which have already been posted on You Tube - going any further, the IDF and the Israeli Medical Association should establish an independent inquiry immediately to clear the names of the team in Haiti."
In a statement released on Friday evening, Nick Clegg said the allegations were "highly offensive". "The comments were wrong, distasteful and provocative and I recognise the deep and understandable distress they have caused to the Jewish community," he said. "While I do not believe that Jenny Tonge is anti-semitic or racist, I regard her comments as wholly unacceptable. "Jenny Tonge apologises unreservedly for the offence she has caused."
It is not the first time that Baroness Tonge has been dismissed from a party post.
In 2004, when she was still an MP, then Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy asked her to quit as children's spokeswoman following remarks she made about Palestinian suicide bombers. She told a pro-Palestinian lobby group: "If I had to live in that situation - and I say that advisedly - I might just consider becoming one myself."
She retired as an MP after the incident, but entered the House of Lords.
One has to look deeper into the comment made in 2004 and evaluate what she was trying to say. If you and I had our land taken from us, our house bulldozed, maybe also witnessed the shooting of your mother or father and in some cases lost your entire family.....if then you had further daily on going intimidation and humiliation...what is left for you to live for? It is at such moments that you turn to your only hope left which is that of your religion and pay the ultimate price in becoming a Martyr and taking with you those that caused you so much misery. If one looks at such events from this perspective then maybe one can understand exactly what Jenny was trying to say.
Baronness Jenny Tonge was truly a highly moral and ethical lady and a true friend of Palestine. She now has made the eternal sacrifice in speaking from her heart whilst all the other senior political figures grovel around for Pro Israeli funds to prop up their election campaign. I feel that Jenny should now run as an independent
candidate in the next election as I am sure someone with her courage would do extremely well with having any donations from those that try to manipulate politics.
Bless you Jenny and for all what you have done for the people of Gaza and Palestine.

Israel and the US preparing for Iran - Part 2 – The Environmental Perspective
In my last article we reviewed the military implications if the US and Israel carried out an attack on Iran. I will now discuss the types of weapons to be used and the catastrophic contamination of the entire Middle East region and the world should they be foolish enough to go ahead.
As with the “shock and awe” attack on Baghdad many missiles are likely to be fired from naval vessels located in the North of the Persian Gulf. Many of these missiles contain uranium components and would form part of an initial attack on the nuclear facilities in Iran. Then we have the “bunker busters” which are suitable for normal structures that are built of concrete, part of which may extend partially underground. These weapons also contain uranium components and can be launched from altitude as a standoff weapon and guided to the target by GPS. We then have another standoff weapon called JDAM which are large bombs which also contained uranium components.
The main thrust is likely to be by missiles as these can be launched outside of Iranian airspace, thus reducing the risk of human casualties. The US Cruise Missile is perfect for this application but it must also be understood that some of Israel’s missiles do carry nuclear warheads and one should also expect some new dirty weapons to be tested out, as was the case in Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza in 2008/9. So we are basically looking at both depleted uranium (DU) and enriched uranium (EU) contamination.
Finally we have the very large US weapon called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) that has been specifically designed for such an attack which can be launched from the US B-2 Stealth Bomber (2XMOP’s). This massive bomb can penetrate almost 200 feet into the ground and is vital for the success of the operation. One could also possibly expect the use of the Massive Ordnance Air blast Bomb (MOAB) which has had very little usage since it initial design. This bomb is normally dropped out of the back of a C130 Hercules aircraft. However this would be a sitting duck for the Iranian Air Force and their Air Defence Systems and is highly unlikely.
As I have pointed out previously there are many options for the US and Israel to carry out such an attack
A) Israeli Air Force attacks from Israel
B) Israeli and US Naval attacks from the Northern Persian Gulf
C) Israeli and US attacks from Northern and Southern Iraq
D) Possible US air attacks from their Afghanistan base in Bagram or elsewhere.
E) Possible US air attacks from around the Caspian Sea area.
The best and obvious option would be an attack from the US carrier group already in the Gulf with the assistance of at least 4 Israeli Warships and 2 Israeli Submarines all armed with missiles with nuclear potential.
We will now take a look at the environmental implications of the fall out from any damaged Iranian nuclear facilities and also the contamination from the radioactive aerosols released from the weapons used by both Israel and the US, all of which are extremely dangerous. Let’s first look at the scenario in and around the Middle East which will receive this radioactive contamination in many forms within the first couple of days of such an attack. I must remind readers that not one single country will avoid this fallout, including Israel itself. What is ironic here is that Israel has already nuked its own population, land, crops and water supply when it attacked Lebanon in 2006 and again Gaza in 2008/9…….in actual fact this self inflicted contamination goes back even further to the Yom Kippur War in October 1973 when the US first introduced the depleted uranium weapons to Israel against the Egyptians.
One finds it so hard to understand why Israel would aid the killing of its own troops and people by using such highly toxic weapons in the vicinity of Israel.
One can already see the results from this contamination in the very high levels of Cancer, Diabetes, Infertility etc that exists in Israel to this day.
I have compiled an air flow chart for the region to demonstrate how this deadly contamination will move around the region on any given day. It shows how these deadly aerosols drift on the wind at many levels and will continue to do so each time the wind picks up contaminated nanoparticles off the ground and whisks them away to some far distant land. They are totally indiscriminate and do not identify international borders. I have selected two levels, Low – Medium Level and Medium – High Level to show how the four corners of the earth eventually get covered. These nanoparticles remain suspended until they get rained out and obviously in area of draught never get rained out. They continue to be blown around in what is called secondary contamination such as strong winds, dust/sand storms, sea breezes and helicopter down wash etc.
Before explaining my chart I wish to draw attention that this is only assuming the attack is one way i.e. only Iran is attacked without reprisal. Obviously this will not be the case and one can therefore expect strategic targets in Israel and elsewhere to also be attacked adding more contamination to the areas shown on the map. It is also important to remember that the US in its usual manipulating and arrogant way is installing Missile defence systems in Israel and four other ally countries in the Gulf States which is more than likely to be the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
These air defence naval assets will include advanced radar and eight Patriot anti-ballistic missile batteries (two in each of the above countries). It is important for those countries to fully understand the implications in allowing the US to use their soil…….this makes them a prime target also as any US or Israeli military facility would be considered a valid target. As you can see this entire US/Israeli game goes well beyond the realms of a computer game and has extreme consequences. If the US or Israel strike the first blow one must clearly understand that what follows would be considered as self defence. This is truly a sad day to see fellow Islamic countries selling their soul to the US and for the second time turning their back on their brothers.
What they fail to understand is that the West and Israel really do not care about them and continue to use such weapons on Islamic soil contaminating the entire region and killing the genetics of their people. When will such countries fully understand that they have lost their dignity and pride all in the name of oil and economic greed? It is also noted that for the first time in the Jewish state's 60-year history, the U.S. has established a permanent military presence. The US now has an advanced X Band Radar facility in the Negev Desert to form as an early warning shield against any Iranian missiles. It takes around 10 minutes for any such missiles to reach Israel. The system will link in with the US Patriot anti-ballistic missile systems in Israel and other Arab States to form a shield.
In the following Contamination Air Flow Chart I have shown a white star as being the centre of attack against Iranian Nuclear Facilities. It would have been too complex to show all the many levels from sea level to 40,000 feet so to make it easier to understand I have selected just two levels. The lower level which is from sea level to mid level which is shown by red arrows and the mid to upper levels which is shown by the blue.
Again I wish to emphasize that the area within the white circle would be highly contaminated with the first couple of days of such an attack and no country would be spared from this fallout. It would be much more devastating than the effects of Chernobyl. The remaining areas of the world would be contaminated within 7-10 days of the attack. You can also see on this chart that certain weather patterns have caused tight circulations that are normally associated with areas of low pressure. Within these complex systems can be much rain or snow and this results in the radioactive nanoparticles getting rained out. This then offers many options for one to become a victim of this catastrophic fallout.
In areas that are dry and arid or those that are not currently getting rain the intake would be by inhalation. In areas of rain or snow the contamination will come to earth and can be absorbed via the skin or enters the food chain by rainout on the land, soil, crops and water and in that case we then get contamination via ingestion.
On this particular chart that I made up for this article one can see an intense low pressure area over Europe taking in Scandinavia, UK, Western Europe, Turkey, Mediterranean and the holiday resorts of North Africa etc. Just to the East of this we see another area that is not so tightly banded and this would cause contamination of the Western side of Russian, Ukraine and down to the Caspian Sea.
There is also another weak circulation over the Middle East and another one over India and South East Asia. Apart from these systems you will note that the main flow is from West to East and then over to the USA. What I have not included in this chart is the Jet Stream Activity that moves such contamination at extremely fast speeds around the world. Not exactly the sort of thing you want by “Express Delivery.”
The world must never allow this insanity by the US and Israel and must fully understand the implications if this attack goes ahead. The spreading of the radioactive nanoparticles will cause a massive rise in many forms of cancers; a big hike in diabetes, the contamination will directly attack the human DNA resulting in a total breakdown in our genetic code. This contamination also as the ability to enter the brain barrier with a multitude of mental health problems as well as tumors. There will be a sharp rise in still born babies and grossly disfigured babies. In Iraq the women in such places as Faluja and Basra are now frightened to have babies. Finally we will have a huge increase in infertility amongst both men and women.
One final point that should be mentioned is the fact that Iran may well already have a nuclear bomb with the compliments of the US, UK and Israeli governments….but that’s another story. Keep watching this space for Part 3 which will be the devastating economic impact on the US, UK, EU, Israel and further afield. Obviously the same small group of international bankers and the larger multi national oil companies and arms manufacturers will benefit from such a conflict but the ordinary people in this world will have to pay a very high price that will only effect them…..isn’t that always the case.
Peter Eyre – Middle East Consultant – 12/2/2010
As with the “shock and awe” attack on Baghdad many missiles are likely to be fired from naval vessels located in the North of the Persian Gulf. Many of these missiles contain uranium components and would form part of an initial attack on the nuclear facilities in Iran. Then we have the “bunker busters” which are suitable for normal structures that are built of concrete, part of which may extend partially underground. These weapons also contain uranium components and can be launched from altitude as a standoff weapon and guided to the target by GPS. We then have another standoff weapon called JDAM which are large bombs which also contained uranium components.
The main thrust is likely to be by missiles as these can be launched outside of Iranian airspace, thus reducing the risk of human casualties. The US Cruise Missile is perfect for this application but it must also be understood that some of Israel’s missiles do carry nuclear warheads and one should also expect some new dirty weapons to be tested out, as was the case in Lebanon in 2006 and Gaza in 2008/9. So we are basically looking at both depleted uranium (DU) and enriched uranium (EU) contamination.
Finally we have the very large US weapon called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) that has been specifically designed for such an attack which can be launched from the US B-2 Stealth Bomber (2XMOP’s). This massive bomb can penetrate almost 200 feet into the ground and is vital for the success of the operation. One could also possibly expect the use of the Massive Ordnance Air blast Bomb (MOAB) which has had very little usage since it initial design. This bomb is normally dropped out of the back of a C130 Hercules aircraft. However this would be a sitting duck for the Iranian Air Force and their Air Defence Systems and is highly unlikely.
As I have pointed out previously there are many options for the US and Israel to carry out such an attack
A) Israeli Air Force attacks from Israel
B) Israeli and US Naval attacks from the Northern Persian Gulf
C) Israeli and US attacks from Northern and Southern Iraq
D) Possible US air attacks from their Afghanistan base in Bagram or elsewhere.
E) Possible US air attacks from around the Caspian Sea area.
The best and obvious option would be an attack from the US carrier group already in the Gulf with the assistance of at least 4 Israeli Warships and 2 Israeli Submarines all armed with missiles with nuclear potential.
We will now take a look at the environmental implications of the fall out from any damaged Iranian nuclear facilities and also the contamination from the radioactive aerosols released from the weapons used by both Israel and the US, all of which are extremely dangerous.

Israel and the US preparing for Iran Part 1 - The Military Perspective
UK, February 8, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) -This year saw an Israeli-US joint exercise "Juniper Cobra 10" take place off the coast of Israel which involved the IDF and the US Navy 6th Fleet. The purpose of the exercise was to participate in countering simulated attacks by ballistic, medium-range and short-range missiles and rockets by Iran on Israel.
As part of this build up the US Military has more than doubled its stockpile of weapons in Israel which it states "Israel can use." One would assume that just like the preparation in the build up to the Lebanon Crisis in 2006 and pre Cast Lead in 2008 that this is a very clear indication that both the US and Israel are preparing for a strike on the nuclear facilities in Iran. The US Navy already has a significant naval force in the Gulf and we are now seeing the slow deployment of Israeli Naval Vessels into the region. In order for the Israeli Navy to position to such a location it requires the permission of the Gulf States to enter their waters. One cannot fully understand how these Islamic States could allow Israeli vessels to transit their zone with the intention of carrying out an attack on another Islamic country (Iran). Nothing surprises me anymore when we saw those same states turn their back on Gaza and Palestine.
What I find amazing is that the UN and the world looks on without saying a word knowing that this action will probably take place as soon as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is ready for operational use. The Pentagon has been applying extreme pressure on Boeing to bring forward the development and testing of this massive bomb by June 2010 almost two years ahead of intended operations. It may also be the US intention to make use of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) which was intended for use in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is my understand that this is not just a simple action, to take out nuclear facilities, but rather an extremely dangerous situation that could not only lead to a major action or war but also cause catastrophic radiation contamination of the entire Middle East and the World. I will cover the environmental aspect in Part 2 followed by the Part 3 which will cover the economic damage that such action would cause to the UK and EU economies.
Militarily speaking this possible strike can erupt into a full scale war based on the proviso that if Israel and the US attack Iran that would be considered an act of war resulting in retaliatory action by the Iranian on Israeli and US targets. Make no bones about it Iran has a significant high tech military that can cause much damage on the invaders and once that step has been taken the US would then carry out further attacks resulting in War. My guess would be this is what the US, UK and NATO countries really want, which is a regime change......heard that before in Iraq and Afghanistan?
With the new NATO ground rules clearly in place "An attack on one is an attack on all" or what has recently been added to the rules "An attack on any military facility, oil/gas facility, pipeline or any other commercial entity is an attack on all" we can, as usual, see how the US can carefully manipulate this action into a total NATO involvement or should I say a possible WW3. I must emphasize that any such action by the US and Israel would be totally irresponsible leading to the possible death of millions of people in the region.
So lets again look at this very dangerous and complicated military scenario that is starting to unfold and fully understand who has to be involved in carrying out such an attack and the risks associated with its implementation.
First of all this type of operation is pushing the safety envelope of the Israeli Air Force to its maximum and can only be achieved with the involvement of the US Military. None of the existing IAF aircraft can make such a long range flight without transiting other Islamic States, stopping for fuel or in having in flight refueling provided by the US. The massive US fed munitions stockpile currently in Israel would be utilized by the IAF and they would have to take maximum weapons payload with minimum fuel. This mission would test both aircraft and their crews to the maximum with the main purpose of delivering their deadly payload to target and with no room to detour or carry out a defensive role if attacked by any Iranian aircraft. It would clearly mean that some of the Israeli aircraft would not return as a result of this high risk operation.
The weapons stockpiled by the US in Israel also contain weapons with uranium components such as "Bunker Buster" etc and the combination of such weapons hitting a nuclear facility would lead to terrible consequences in the Middle East. Then we have the question of the MOP which is specifically being tested for use in Iran. This bomb has the potential to not only call catastrophic damage but also has the ability to set off earthquakes in the region. All of the above weapons in that context could be classified as WMD's and are totally indiscriminate in their application and thus are in breach of the Geneva Convention as well as breaching many other international laws. We have heard rumours that such weapons as the MOP and other penetrating type weapons could have triggered the earthquakes in California and also Haiti. Any weapon of this size when it enters the earth crust sends huge shockwaves deep into the earth and should this be in an area of existing rifts the resultant aftermath is self explanatory.
Let's now look at this evil bomb currently under test in the US. The MOP is around 20.5 feet long and a total weight of just under 30,000lbs. The weapon carries 5,300lbs of explosives. It is carried aboard a US Air Force B-2 Bomber and is guided to its target by its onboard global positioning navigation system.
Reader will note that the only aircraft capable of carrying this weapon is the USAF B-2 Stealth Bomber and therefore if Israel attacks Iran (which is what the US wants them to do) then the US will definitely be involved in the delivery of this bomb. The B-2 will be able to carry two MOP's and thus would be a prime target to attack as it approached Iranian airspace. The B-2 would fly at high altitude and release the weapons some distance from target.
It is also my belief that whilst Israel and the US are on a war footing they may also possible carry out strikes on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria during 2010. As with all conflicts the whole purpose is to divide and conquer and Israel is right in the middle of a very unstable area. Should they choose to carry out such action I am sure this could well see the end of Israel.
Part 2 of this series will cover the environmental aspect of such an attack. It will show how the catastrophic fallout will initially consume the entire Middle East from Turkey - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India and from North of the Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan - Turkmenistan - Uzbekistan -Tajikistan - Kyrgyzstan - China - Nepal - Syria - Iraq - Kuwait - Saudi Arabia - Bahrain - Lebanon - Israel - Palestine - Jordan - Egypt - Qatar - UAE - Oman - Yemen. Not one country in the Middle East will be spared.
All of this contamination will take place within the first couple of days and within 7-10 days will be around the world.
I ask the UN, UK, EU, Russia, China, Japan and all of the above countries to address this problem with the utmost urgency and ensure that the US and Israel do not attack Iran and that diplomacy without threat is the only way to come to some compromise. Maybe if the US and the rest of the world applied the same pressure on Israel as they do on Iran we may see fair play. Surely if Israel has unlimited and uncontrolled nuclear capabilities they would be considered a threat to the Islamic world so common sense must prevail here. As it stands at the moment it is just pure US/Israeli aggression as we have seen so many times before.
Keep watching this space for the horrific details of Part 2 - Environmental Impact of such action.

The propaganda and failure of all inquires and tribunals
It is with disgust that I read yet again another disturbing article emanating out of the corridors of the United Nations. Ban Ki-moon passed comment on the responses from Israel and the Palestinian Authority on the behavior of Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants. The two reports received by the UN were as a direct result of the demands set down in resolution 192-nation assembly which was approved in November 2009.
I note with interest the emphasis on Israeli soldiers behavior during the conflict which would indicate that a couple of insignificant soldiers are likely to be punished for their part in the conflict (lambs to the slaughter) but no mention of the Israeli Government, Minister of Defence, Chiefs of Staff or Senior Unit Commanders.
I also found it alarming that once again reference was made of the Goldstone Report which highlighted that the Israeli army and Palestinian militants committed war crimes during the conflict from late December 2008 to mid-January 2009 but was this statement correct and what right did the Secretary General have to voice his own opinion. Naturally in conflict individuals do carry out violations of the Geneva Convention but one cannot bypass the fact that all of those listed in the above paragraph are themselves implicated in all the violations that were listed in the Goldstone Report but they never get a mention. I again ask the question why are senior figures such as Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reid, Hoon and many others exempt from trial?
The report fell short of the more serious crime, that of genocide, and did not pursue the many other violations that were not covered. White Phosphorus (WP), as and example, was more of a slap on the back of the hand, Flachette and DIME weapons were totally forgotten and the question of weapons containing uranium components was totally swept under the carpet.
How can the Secretary General be critical of Israel and Palestine when his own inquiry was a total cover up? I would also ask how anyone can pursue their own internal inquiry when they intentionally target a couple of insignificant individuals who were probable only acting on the orders of higher authority.
Again we saw Ban Ki-moon initially condemn the shelling of the UN compound but said nothing about the remainder of Gaza, we saw him pursue compensation from the Israeli Government but nothing for the people of Gaza. Only this week we saw him draw reference to the firing of WP on the compound but said nothing about the rest of Gaza or the other terrible weapons used.
We have seen one inquiry after another but nothing comes out of these hearings. We continuously see those giving evidence flaunting their arrogance and repeating the same cliché that given the information available at the time they would still arrive at the same decision.
I noticed with some amazement as to how Ann Clwyd so tactically manipulated the inquiry. Again we saw such wonderful accounts of her visit to Iran and how they provided her with a helicopter to fly over a long line of Kurdish refugees who put their fingers to their mouths to show they wanted food. It’s incredible how much detail she saw from altitude and how she changed this inquiry into a sort of compassionate story. Reference was also given to the fact that soil samples revealed the use of chemicals. Again no reference to the US and UK use of WMD’s (weapons containing uranium) or the fact that soil samples have also been recovered revealing traces of both DU/EU. Then we had Reid talking about the fact that whilst he was Minister of Defence the armed forces had everything they needed in defiance of all those who said that we did not. Numerous references have been made by those giving evidence at the existence of chemicals held by Saddam and their usage on the Kurds in Halajaba. Again we missed out on an opportunity to explain that the Chemicals and training know how was provided by the west. They were first intended and used by Iraq against Iran during the 1980-1988 with the full support of the US and UK Governments and many other countries were also implicated.
What is totally unacceptable was the fact that the war in Iraq was planned months ahead of 9/11 and they just needed an excuse to justify it. The same with Afghanistan which was planned months before 9/11. Now we have the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan with far greater usage of WMD’s than Iraq. It is easy to see that really the “Axis of Evil” lies within the governments of those involved.
This week saw another classic comment from the US Government who suggested that Israel should ease the blockade of Gaza to help counter the fallout from the Goldstone report on alleged war crimes during Operation Cast Lead a year ago.
First of all I would like to change the word alledged into committed and what exactly was this comment implying? Does the US think that relieving some aspects of the blockade will help the people of Gaza forget the genocidal attack? It would have been more appropriate for the US and other governments to put forward a proposal to put UN Peacekeepers (Blue Helmets no Combat Troops) into Gaza and West Bank on all side of the border and lift the blockade permanently.
There appears to be a growing movement to form tribunals such as the one in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal) and now another one in London (Russell Tribunal on Palestine). I am sure that people who make such an effort have good intentions but from my perspective all past and current inquiries and tribunals fizzle out without a constructive verdict or decisive recommendations being made. If those that lied or those that committed horrendous crimes are not cross examined by a panel that know and fully understand what actually happened in Iraq, Afghanistan or Gaza then how can they qualify to ask the correct questions.
It makes me feel sick inside to listen to these hearings and tribunals talk about such thinks as Cluster Bombs or White Phosphorus as being the only issue when in actual fact this to all intents and purposes was the lesser of the many other crimes committed. It always appears to be a slap on the hand for those committing the crimes along with such regrettable comments that hopefully we will learn from the mistakes made.
My question to the Russell Tribunal on Palestine would be why are you not following the very principle that Bertram Russell instigated all those years ago in bringing to justice all those that have violated treaties or who have carried out war crimes. Bertram Russell’s justification was “If certain acts and violations of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them. We are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us.”
Not one inquiry or tribunal has pursued those responsible for using WMD’s in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and now Pakistan. Any country or leader who authorizes the use of weapons that contains uranium components is guilty of an extremely serious war crime. It is of concern that the following announcement was made by the Russell Tribunal on Palestine when they announced the following “Unlike the preceding Tribunals, the aim in this case is not to denounce a perpetrator of the violations, since that has already been done, for instance by the International Court of Justice in The Hague in its Advisory Opinion of 9 July 2004, which is endowed with considerable legal force.”
Unfortunately this statement was not correct as to date the question of bringing to justice those responsible for using weapons containing uranium components (WMD’s) have never been under investigation or reached the level of a trial. In this context it is my own opinion that the globe trotting currently being carried out by the Tribunal to Brussels, Barcelona, Latin American is not only a waste of time and money it will not address the real issue, which is that of mass genocide, therefore this Tribunal falls well short of becoming effective.
It is now time for the Palestinians themselves to form their own Tribunal and address the more serious war crimes that up to this time have been swept under the carpet. The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal is as close as one can get in addressing the real issues but even this tribunal does not address the topic of WMD. When one adds to this the rape of the countries oil and gas resources by Israel, the decimation of the Gaza Fishing Industry and all the horrific illegal weapons used by Israel one can clearly see that no one is truly pursuing the crime of genocide or in pursuing any legal aspect regarding Israel’s daily harassment and humiliation of the people of Palestine
I have myself formulated how such a Palestinian Tribunal could be formed and what aspects should be address by way of an initial hearing followed by a full Tribunal by International Lawyers. One of the most critical issues here is who is brave enough to weather the storm that would erupt from such a vital tribunal? How many good quality international lawyers (including Islamic lawyers) would be prepared to come forward and sit on a tribunal panel? Who from the Islamic world or the international corporate sector would help fund such a bold venture? I myself could certainly put it all together and be happy to bring those to justice that have violated the Geneva Convention. We are talking here about multiple incidents of mass genocide. The best place to carry out such a hearing would be in London and I feel confident that I can bring in enough victims and witnesses to make the case almost 100% concrete.
The Tribunal would be formed to address all legal issues pertaining to Palestine and its people both within Palestine and Palestinians who are now living overseas as Asylum Seekers or Refuges….basically the entire Palestinian Diaspora. It purpose would be to strengthen the Palestinian Authority from the outside and to deal with all legal issues concerning War Crimes and Breaches of Human Rights on Palestinian within and outside of Palestine, International Border Disputes and Clarification, Natural Resources Identification and Ownership, The pursuit of Sovereignty by way of the United Nations without interference from Israel the US, UK and other Pro Israel Countries within the EU, Identification of weapons used during the conflict, and daily violations by Israel of the Geneva Convention.
It is time that we the citizens of the world implemented such an action as it is blatantly obvious that the UN. ICJ, ICC, ECHR and many other legal bodies do not wish to pursue the more serious crimes, challenge the Israeli authority both locally and internationally or take on countries that violate their own guidelines in relation to the export of arms to Israel. It should also be challenged via an international court as to why such countries as Israel are allowed to carry out development of WMD’s without any comment from the UN, US, UK, EU and other countries. This aspect alone makes the Non- Proliferation Treat a joke when they have in the past applied tremendous pressure on India, Pakistan, North Korea and Iran but say nothing about Israel or anyone else who continues to develop and use WMD’s.
So if there are any brave potential participants that would wish to formulate such a tribunal please contact the Palestine Telegraph and together we can for the first time in current history challenge the flawed and corrupt international legal system that exists to this day. This would directly challenge such authorities as the UNEP and WHO on their past and current methods of determining what constitutes a WMD and where they have been used and the dangers that up to the current time have been hidden from the world’s public. One example being the extensive past and current usage of weapons containing uranium components in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, Pakistan and now possible Somalia and Yemen.
I am sure you would all agree that this would be a wonderful opportunity to reclaim our dignity and pride in bringing true justice back into play and at the same time have the distinct possibility to prohibit any weapon from containing uranium components. There are millions of people around the world that have become victim to DU/EU weapons and we owe this to all of them
Are you an International Lawyer and willing to take part in such a venture or are you from the Corporate Sector and willing to financially support this meaningful act for humankind……….Go on I dare you!!!!
Peter Eyre – Middle East Consultant – 6/2/2010
I note with interest the emphasis on Israeli soldiers behavior during the conflict which would indicate that a couple of insignificant soldiers are likely to be punished for their part in the conflict (lambs to the slaughter) but no mention of the Israeli Government, Minister of Defence, Chiefs of Staff or Senior Unit Commanders.
I also found it alarming that once again reference was made of the Goldstone Report which highlighted that the Israeli army and Palestinian militants committed war crimes during the conflict from late December 2008 to mid-January 2009 but was this statement correct and what right did the Secretary General have to voice his own opinion. Naturally in conflict individuals do carry out violations of the Geneva Convention but one cannot bypass the fact that all of those listed in the above paragraph are themselves implicated in all the violations that were listed in the Goldstone Report but they never get a mention. I again ask the question why are senior figures such as Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reid, Hoon and many others exempt from trial?
The report fell short of the more serious crime, that of genocide, and did not pursue the many other violations that were not covered. White Phosphorus (WP), as and example, was more of a slap on the back of the hand, Flachette and DIME weapons were totally forgotten and the question of weapons containing uranium components was totally swept under the carpet.
How can the Secretary General be critical of Israel and Palestine when his own inquiry was a total cover up? I would also ask how anyone can pursue their own internal inquiry when they intentionally target a couple of insignificant individuals who were probable only acting on the orders of higher authority.
Again we saw Ban Ki-moon initially condemn the shelling of the UN compound but said nothing about the remainder of Gaza, we saw him pursue compensation from the Israeli Government but nothing for the people of Gaza. Only this week we saw him draw reference to the firing of WP on the compound but said nothing about the rest of Gaza or the other terrible weapons used.
We have seen one inquiry after another but nothing comes out of these hearings. We continuously see those giving evidence flaunting their arrogance and repeating the same cliché that given the information available at the time they would still arrive at the same decision.
I noticed with some amazement as to how Ann Clwyd so tactically manipulated the inquiry. Again we saw such wonderful accounts of her visit to Iran and how they provided her with a helicopter to fly over a long line of Kurdish refugees who put their fingers to their mouths to show they wanted food. It’s incredible how much detail she saw from altitude and how she changed this inquiry into a sort of compassionate story. Reference was also given to the fact that soil samples revealed the use of chemicals. Again no reference to the US and UK use of WMD’s (weapons containing uranium) or the fact that soil samples have also been recovered revealing traces of both DU/EU. Then we had Reid talking about the fact that whilst he was Minister of Defence the armed forces had everything they needed in defiance of all those who said that we did not. Numerous references have been made by those giving evidence at the existence of chemicals held by Saddam and their usage on the Kurds in Halajaba. Again we missed out on an opportunity to explain that the Chemicals and training know how was provided by the west. They were first intended and used by Iraq against Iran during the 1980-1988 with the full support of the US and UK Governments and many other countries were also implicated.
What is totally unacceptable was the fact that the war in Iraq was planned months ahead of 9/11 and they just needed an excuse to justify it.

Israel receives an accolade from the US as being responsible!
It was fascinating to read what U.S. National Security Adviser Jim Jones said at a recent press conference that “Israel’s conduct was responsible” and United States and Israel are in close coordination over how to handle Iran. "We have very good dialogue with Israel, continual dialogue," he told The Jerusalem Post. "We're working very closely with them." When haven’t they I might ask? So there we have it Israel has received a “Gold Medal” for being responsible, and Obama has been awarded the “Nobel Peace Prize” for spreading uranium aerosols around our planet and killing thousands if not millions of coalition troops and innocent civilians. I think some other award will be forthcoming for Olmert, Barak, Livni and many others for their service to mankind. There’s nothing better than slapping yourself on the back as they say!
I read another article the other day reporting that the big boys clubs (UN Security Council) have been negotiating with Iran in an attempt to break the nuclear standoff. What is fascinating here is the fact that when Obama and Brown appeared on the stage to voice their objection to Iran’s attitude they also invited Sarkosi onto the stage to re enforce their argument and also stated that Germany was also in full support….I think this group should be given the title of the G3.5. Now we again see a similar situation whereby the five permanent Security Council members -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China are deeply involved in planning the next round of sanctions on Iraq and again included Germany so maybe we can give them a tag also and call them the G5.5. It is obvious that the US and UK desperately need the French and Germans on their side in any further decision making in order to improve the slight rift that currently exists.
As we already know Iran rejects Western charges that its nuclear program has military designs, and has vowed to retaliate with ballistic missiles for any strikes on its facilities by Israel and rightfully so. We again see the US, UK and NATO countries passing gratitude for Israel’s tolerance on this issue but turn their backs on Israel’s own nuclear arsenal and continued manufacturing of WMD’s. As we have already found out the US has been doubling its own munitions stockpile in Israel. This arsenal belongs to the US but they have clearly emphasised that Israel can use any of the weapons in order to fulfil its own defence and needs. This is a clear sign of deceitful arms dealing with the ability to bypass US Congress.
It is also a clear sign of preparation for an attack on Iran and maybe more strikes in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. It is very clear that the US is not only standing alongside Israel but also cooperation every step of the way. Obviously increased sanctions will be the next step followed by military action. We are still waiting for the completion of the US weapons testing of the new Massive Air Penetrator (MAP) which is expected to be ready by June and then basically they will be set to carry out a strike with the other WMD’s that are stockpiled in Israel. No doubt the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) will also get some usage this year in Afghanistan as part of the next surge and could also be used in Iran
I would like to make it very clear that Israel cannot pull this off by themselves without US assistance. Any such planned attack by Israel is pushing the safety envelope of their fighters which cannot make the target area direct. The US would have to approve any such attack and almost certainly would be involved in providing spy satellite data, in flight refuelling, clearance into certain zones and also in the delivery of the MAP itself. Basically if Israel attacked Iran it would be a joint attack.
This week also saw the assassination of a leading Hamas figure in Dubai and obviously this was the work of Mossad. The Israeli Government has made it very clear that he was an arms dealer. So what, you may say…..at the end of the day he was responsible for obtaining arms for a legal entity and if any international laws were broken then one would assume such people could be dealt with through the normal legal system. This assassination by Mossad or even possible the CIA can only be put down to a “Political Assassination”….maybe someone should use the same philosophy on the many people in the US who deal in arms to Israel…..hey but that’s different!
The whole region is becoming a hot bed of activity and Israel (the new super power) is right in there with Mossad operatives in Somalia, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. One should also give mention to RAW, which is the Indian Foreign Intelligence Agency also implicated in some clandestine operations. One could go on further to say they are all basically partners in crime. I can also tell you on some of my trips to Iraq that Mossad also enjoyed the same exposure there. I found myself amongst one of them who really did not cover his identify very well at all. He used totally irrelevant spin about what he was doing in Iraq but what he didn’t know was the fact that I knew the project he was talking about. He also didn’t notice that I took his name tag off his baggage whilst talking and also observed where he was staying….dare I say almost living next door to a local official…….I wonder why?
We see almost daily articles now about Yemen and that famous duo of Obama and Clinton continuously applying pressure on the government to take control of this fictitious Al Qaeda threat. The Detroit incident was a Mossad/CIA/RAW trick to attempt to cause panic both in the US and UK and it clearly did the trick. The greatest threat in Yemen is the existence of US Special Forces, Mossad and CIA operatives who only wish to destabilise the country as they have done successfully in Pakistan, Somalia, India and now Yemen.
Realistically speaking we now have the potential for a major conflict in the Middle East (Iran) with both the US and Israel sowing the seeds for what could only be described as a major catastrophe should such an attack take place. We also see friction between Pakistan and India over Kashmir and the US again applying pressure to North Korea. One could also add that the US is fuelling the unrest with Russia by not being sincere with them about its missile defence system. To add more fuel to the existing fire the US has recently awarded military aid to Taiwan which is a very sensitive issue with China.
If war does become the option with Iran it will certainly bring much economic growth to the US in defence exports and also adds a dramatic rise in the price of oil. It was interesting to read that BP was disappointed with its profits for the current quarter even though the profits were still good. It is common knowledge that US and UK leaders always look for such trouble when their economy is suffering or if their popularity is at an all time low. Such a nice thought don’t you think?
Obama keeps repeating his stance against Iran and continues re enforcing his support for Israel. How can anyone call such a nation responsible when they used such disproportionate force on such a densely populated area? How can you call Israel responsible when it used Gaza as a test bed for illegal weapons that had been exported by the US? How can you call Israel responsible when it blasted the entire Gaza strip with weapons containing uranium components? How can you call Israel responsible when it contaminated its own soldiers and its own population with radioactive aerosols?
Now we have Obama’s Christian and Jewish Zionist supporters giving him an encore at his State of the Nation address when he told the people that he will give them clean energy and launch a major programme of “Nuclear Power” stations and also develop “Clean Coal”…..that means much more depleted uranium and associates weapons and the use of coal which is not environmentally friendly. So much for Global Warming which is another farce.
Israel is totally irresponsible and so is the US for giving them the tools to carry out this evil act of genocide. It is worth noting that the International Court of Justice is still contemplating whether to charge the current President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir with genocide but no mention of Bush, Blair, Obama, Blair, Olmert and Netenyahu…..the list is endless

It is very clear that the US is not only standing alongside Israel but also cooperation every step of the way. Obviously increased sanctions will be the next step followed by military action. We are still waiting for the completion of the US weapons testing of the new Massive Air Penetrator (MAP) which is expected to be ready by June and then basically they will be set to carry out a strike with the other WMD’s that are stockpiled in Israel. No doubt the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) will also get some usage this year in Afghanistan as part of the next surge and could also be used in Iran
I would like to make it very clear that Israel cannot pull this off by themselves without US assistance. Any such planned attack by Israel is pushing the safety envelope of their fighters which cannot make the target area direct. The US would have to approve any such attack and almost certainly would be involved in providing spy satellite data, in flight refuelling, clearance into certain zones and also in the delivery of the MAP itself. Basically if Israel attacked Iran it would be a joint attack.
This week also saw the assassination of a leading Hamas figure in Dubai and obviously this was the work of Mossad. The Israeli Government has made it very clear that he was an arms dealer. So what, you may say…..at the end of the day he was responsible for obtaining arms for a legal entity and if any international laws were broken then one would assume such people could be dealt with through the normal legal system. This assassination by Mossad or even possible the CIA can only be put down to a “Political Assassination”….maybe someone should use the same philosophy on the many people in the US who deal in arms to Israel…..hey but that’s different!
The whole region is becoming a hot bed of activity and Israel (the new super power) is right in there with Mossad operatives in Somalia, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. One should also give mention to RAW, which is the Indian Foreign Intelligence Agency also implicated in some clandestine operations. One could go on further to say they are all basically partners in crime. I can also tell you on some of my trips to Iraq that Mossad also enjoyed the same exposure there. I found myself amongst one of them who really did not cover his identify very well at all. He used totally irrelevant spin about what he was doing in Iraq but what he didn’t know was the fact that I knew the project he was talking about. He also didn’t notice that I took his name tag off his baggage whilst talking and also observed where he was staying….dare I say almost living next door to a local official…….I wonder why?
We see almost daily articles now about Yemen and that famous duo of Obama and Clinton continuously applying pressure on the government to take control of this fictitious Al Qaeda threat. The Detroit incident was a Mossad/CIA/RAW trick to attempt to cause panic both in the US and UK and it clearly did the trick. The greatest threat in Yemen is the existence of US Special Forces, Mossad and CIA operatives who only wish to destabilise the country as they have done successfully in Pakistan, Somalia, India and now Yemen.
Realistically speaking we now have the potential for a major conflict in the Middle East (Iran) with both the US and Israel sowing the seeds for what could only be described as a major catastrophe should such an attack take place. We also see friction between Pakistan and India over Kashmir and the US again applying pressure to North Korea. One could also add that the US is fuelling the unrest with Russia by not being sincere with them about its missile defence system. To add more fuel to the existing fire the US has recently awarded military aid to Taiwan which is a very sensitive issue with China.
If war does become the option with Iran it will certainly bring much economic growth to the US in defence exports and also adds a dramatic rise in the price of oil. It was interesting to read that BP was disappointed with its profits for the current quarter even though the profits were still good. It is common knowledge that US and UK leaders always look for such trouble when their economy is suffering or if their popularity is at an all time low. Such a nice thought don’t you think?
Obama keeps repeating his stance against Iran and continues re enforcing his support for Israel. How can anyone call such a nation responsible when they used such disproportionate force on such a densely populated area? How can you call Israel responsible when it used Gaza as a test bed for illegal weapons that had been exported by the US? How can you call Israel responsible when it blasted the entire Gaza strip with weapons containing uranium components? How can you call Israel responsible when it contaminated its own soldiers and its own population with radioactive aerosols?
Now we have Obama’s Christian and Jewish Zionist supporters giving him an encore at his State of the Nation address when he told the people that he will give them clean energy and launch a major programme of “Nuclear Power” stations and also develop “Clean Coal”…..that means much more depleted uranium and associates weapons and the use of coal which is not environmentally friendly. So much for Global Warming which is another farce.
Israel is totally irresponsible and so is the US for giving them the tools to carry out this evil act of genocide. It is worth noting that the International Court of Justice is still contemplating whether to charge the current President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir with genocide but no mention of Bush, Blair, Obama, Blair, Olmert and Netenyahu…..the list is endless

I read another article the other day reporting that the big boys clubs (UN Security Council) have been negotiating with Iran in an attempt to break the nuclear standoff. What is fascinating here is the fact that when Obama and Brown appeared on the stage to voice their objection to Iran’s attitude they also invited Sarkosi onto the stage to re enforce their argument and also stated that Germany was also in full support….I think this group should be given the title of the G3.5. Now we again see a similar situation whereby the five permanent Security Council members -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China are deeply involved in planning the next round of sanctions on Iraq and again included Germany so maybe we can give them a tag also and call them the G5.5. It is obvious that the US and UK desperately need the French and Germans on their side in any further decision making in order to improve the slight rift that currently exists.
As we already know Iran rejects Western charges that its nuclear program has military designs, and has vowed to retaliate with ballistic missiles for any strikes on its facilities by Israel and rightfully so. We again see the US, UK and NATO countries passing gratitude for Israel’s tolerance on this issue but turn their backs on Israel’s own nuclear arsenal and continued manufacturing of WMD’s. As we have already found out the US has been doubling its own munitions stockpile in Israel. This arsenal belongs to the US but they have clearly emphasised that Israel can use any of the weapons in order to fulfil its own defence and needs. This is a clear sign of deceitful arms dealing with the ability to bypass US Congress.
It is also a clear sign of preparation for an attack on Iran and maybe more strikes in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. It is very clear that the US is not only standing alongside Israel but also cooperation every step of the way. Obviously increased sanctions will be the next step followed by military action.
