THANKS THANKS.

Has anyone researched more . . . the Russian intel org . . . has released info asserting that

The USA has equal forces arrayed currently against Iran as we had at the beginning of the Iraq war . . . and that we will be ready to go at Iran the first half of April . . . that it will remain up to the political leaders as to when the festivities will start.

I think the info is probably largely accurate.

IF SO

I assume the festivities will start against Iran probably after the Beijing Olympics though that would have lots of forces holding in readiness a long time—which they don’t do well without deterioration—so that may not be the case . . . maybe festivities will begin sooner.

Regardless, I DOUBT

MERELY DOUBT

that China would not end up attacking us until after the Beijing Olympics.

However, I have essentally little to no doubt that our going into Iran will lead into China attacking the West coast and Russia the East coast . . . . and that life will never again be he same . . . PERIOD.

And that true peace will not fully, honorably, authentically, constructively reign ‘again’ until Christ touches down on the Mt of Olives. . . . though the Anti-Christ will “wage war with peace” as Scripture says—more or less, evidently, for up to 3.5 years with the world crying PEACE PEACE PEACE AT LAST . . . though it will be a pseudo peace as the tyranny tightens it’s grip.

In any case . . . interesting times we live in . . .

Travel Alert

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Tue Apr 01 2008 22:37:28 GMT-0700 (PDT).

China

March 21, 2008

This Travel Alert is being issued to update U.S. citizens to safety and security concerns in China ’s Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) as well as the neighboring provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai . American citizens in Tibet, especially in Lhasa , are advised to avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place. American citizens should defer travel to Tibet at this time. This supersedes the Travel Alert for China dated March 15, 2008 and expires on April 21, 2008.

On March 14, violence erupted following peaceful demonstrations in the city of Lhasa . Scattered violence continues in Lhasa and protests, some of them resulting in violence, have been reported in parts of Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai, and Yunnan provinces. Currently, there is a significant increased security presence in many Tibetan areas of China , including Tibetan communities outside of the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). Chinese authorities have restricted tourist and other travel to Tibet and other affected areas.

American consular personnel have not yet been granted access to the TAR or other affected areas, and therefore assistance to American citizens in those areas may be limited.

For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Alerts, and Travel Warnings can be found.
