Saudi Arabia Gives Israel Clear Skies To Attack Iranian Nuclear Sites
The Times ^ | June 12, 2010

Posted on 06/11/2010 6:01:40 PM PDT by Strategy

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran's nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.

In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.

To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom's air defences will return to full alert.

"The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way," said a US defence source in the area. "They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department."

If anybody had told me, say, five years ago that the Saudis would be a better ally to Israel than we are, I would have called on the guys in the white suits with the padded rooms to have the person committed.

Once such festivities start,

the dust will not settle until

AFTER THE BIBLICAL ARMAGEDDON.

Such an assault will quickly develope into a global war with wholesale assaults on CONUS.

It is conceivable that the global ‘authority’ would arise and prevent such temporarily. But I don’t think so. I think it is scheduled that the USA be mostly destroyed as a way to shock and coerce the world more easily into a global government with the USA, it’s Constitution and freedoms mostly out of the way.

Well since Obama said that if the IAF flies over Iraq, our USAF will prevent them from passing thru, thus, in effect providing Iran with free air defense.

Here's an interesting item in the ball park . . .

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=129692&sectionid=351020205

Prince warns S. Arabia of apocalypse
Wed, 09 Jun 2010 09:02:52 GMT

Saudi Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has warned the country's royal family to step down and flee before a military coup or a popular uprising overthrows the kingdom.

In a letter published by Wagze news agency on Tuesday, the Cairo-based prince warned Saudi Arabia's ruling family of a fate similar to that of Iraq's executed dictator Saddam Hussein and the ousted Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, calling on them to escape before people "cut off our heads in streets."

He warned that the Saudi royal family is no longer able to "impose" itself on people, arguing that deviations in carrying out the religious concepts that make up the basis of the Saudi government "have gotten out of our hands," so that the opposition views our acts as "interfering in people's private life and restricting their liberties."

"If we are wise, we must leave this country to its people, whose dislike for us is increasing," said Prince Turki, advising Saudi officials to escape with their families.

"Do it today before tomorrow as long as the money we have is enough for us to live anywhere in the world; from Switzerland to Canada and Australia…we should not return as long as we are able to get out safely, we must take our families quickly and pull out," he urged.

"Do not fool yourself by relying on the United States or Britain or Israel, because they will not survive the loss; the only door open is now the exit door of no return. Let us go before it closes."

He finally warned against a military coup against the ruling family, saying "no one will attack us from outside but our armed forces will attack us."

Prince Turki is a member of the liberal Free Princes movement founded in the 1950s amid tensions between King Faisal and his brother King Saud, requesting the Saudi authorities to implement political reforms and set out a constitution.

The late King Faisal expelled members of the civil rights group to Egypt but later on pardoned them.

If this guy is right, it makes the fact that Saudi Arabia is one of the participants in the Psalm 83 war a lot clearer.

I always knew that Saudi Arabia would be involved, because God said they will, but it just seems more understandable with the royal family out of the way and the Saudi military taking over.

If this guy is right.

Posting some gleanings from ATS of interest to folks such as are interested in this thread . . .

About 4-6 posts down on that thread:

We are constantly conditioned by the media and our surroundings. Normally we are unaware of this process. Many influences are probably by chance, but some are calculated forms of social engineering. Some facts are presented in fiction movies. If you try to inform other people about these facts, you will face ridicule. “Ah, I have also seen this movie.”

Today many people believe mind control and Manchurian Candidates are just fiction. They forget about the Church Committee and MKULTRA.

In plain view hidden crimes and secrets are awful. But I think even more dangerous is, that new ideas and moral values are planted into educational programs, MSM and movies. These ideas are distributed via variuos seemingly disconnected sources. But they alter our moral values and perception of reality. The unthinkable becomes thinkable.

Before the big brother state was advanced, people lived together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Now MTV seems to show only crap of this kind. Reality TV follows people and publishes their privat live. Many people now no longer see surveillance as an intrusion.

Enemies are dehumanized until they are merely subhuman. So violence against these “hostile barbarians” becomes reasonable. This happened with Iraq and Afghanistan, now it is Irans, Pakistans and Yemens turn. But even before 9/11 and the news showing heartless fanatics, countless action movies featured arabic speaking insane terrorists, who tried to attack America for obscure reasons.

Torture as valid tool to counter terrorism is not only propagated by news pundits, but is also used in the 24 TV series. Now the majority of all US citizens believes torture is a valuable tool, which can be used to “fight terrorism”.

Computer games are sponsored by the army. They mimic real weapon systems and train children to become future drone pilots.

The scary part is, that if you suspect such a manipulation and try to warn your friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues about such developments, they will think you are crazy. Most people believe, that they are not easily manipulated.

World Depopulation Plan On Fox News!!!

So i’m sure most of us on here have heard plenty about depopulation, from the Georgia Guidestones to Bill Gate’s speech on TED, but now it’s actually making main stream news. so does anyone still think this is crazy conspiracy stuff haha? I really never thought i’d see the day they’d openly discuss something like this.

i like how he goes, “We don’t use the word undesirable.” i cracked up when i heard that because all i thought was, “Yeah, he probably rather use “useless eaters” like Kissinger does instead.” haha so ridiculous.

Report of 2010 Bilderberg Meeting

The Bilderberg boys were so depressed as they gathered at the Dolce luxury hotel in Sitges, Spain June 3 that “many important people are not showing up,” because “they always find out and we get into trouble at home,” said one, echoing the sentiments of all.

Still, they hope to inflict much evil on the world. An unprecedented but fruitless effort to hide the Bilderberg meeting this year was conducting the Group of 20 (G-20) economic meeting in Busan, South Korea.

Always before, like clockwork, the Bilderberg group would meet on the same continent as the G-20: Europe or North America. This, too, proved futile. Bilderberg was greeted with a hostile press and public.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was conspicuous at G-20. The meeting ended Saturday. But, with a 12-hour time difference, Korea’s Saturday ended in plenty of time for Geithner to join his Bilderberg buddies.

Bilderberg had bad news out of the G-20 meeting. Not only was G-20 pessimistic about survival of the euro, it gave up on establishing a global bank tax following complaints from Canada, Australia, Brazil and India.

Both the international currency and international bank tax are crucial to Bilderberg’s plan to establish a world “Treasury Department.”

The London Times had an advance story headlined “Secretive Bilderberg Club Ready for Protests.” It said David Rockefeller and colleagues would be graced with the presence of Spanish Prime Minister Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who will give a welcoming address. It is routine for the head of state of the host country—except in the U.S. — to give a 30-minute welcoming address, then be required to leave.
The smallest, purely local newspaper is invited to cover this event, but no questions. The story, designed to reassure locals that nothing ominous is taking place behind the armada of armed guards, is approved by Bilderberg before publication.

Also attending from Spain were Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos and former Economy Minister Pedro Solbes.

The Guardian of London carried a commentary by Charlie Skelton, who humorously observed that Spain was hoping the arrival of Bilderberg will not have the same effect suffered by the last country to host Bilderberg. In 2009, Bilderberg met in Greece, and within a year the country was bankrupt and people were rioting in the streets.

BOMB IRAN
Sadly, Bilderberg remains committed to a U.S. attack on Iran on Israel’s behalf. But the cruel and clumsy attack on a flotilla bringing food and medicine to the besieged Palestinians in the Gaza Strip backfired, too. World outrage, including from many Jews, left Bilderberg gasping.

There is division within Bilderberg; most Americans want war, but some Europeans oppose air strikes. Many argue that Iran is not making nuclear weapons, while, they point out, Israel has had nuclear weapons since 1962. This was made public by the late Bilderberg luminary, George Ball, who was No. 2 man in the State Department under both presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.“Iran is building nuclear weapons, which poses a threat, not only to Israel, but also to all of Europe and, potentially, to the United States,” said an American, but not to universal agreement. “We’re not sure of that,” a European countered. “And you have a lot more dead boys than we do.”” Israel may have to conduct a preemptive strike to protect itself from a nuclear Iran,” said an American, believed by the inside source to be Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency, but not positively identified. “The term ‘preemptive strike’ was invented by Israel as a synonym for waging aggressive war in 1968,” the European countered. “Israel bombed Egypt in a surprise attack, wiping out the Egyptian air force on the ground. Israel was under no threat at all.” The American walked away, shaking his head with a “where have I failed?” look.

GLOBAL WARMING
They are still trying to exploit the myth of “global warming” to establish a world “Department of Energy” although one mourned that “we are about whipped on climate change.” Leading climatologists say fluctuations in Earth’s temperature are natural. “Global warming” claims are a fraud, they say.

A newly leaked internal document “outlines how Spain’s ‘green economy initiatives’ have been a financial disaster,” reported David E. Robinson, in his newsletter Brunswick Bits Abound. The report “suggests that the real rate of job losses as a result of ‘green’ policies is in fact worse than the 2.2 jobs lost for every one gained and that the ‘green economy’ must be abandoned if the country is to save itself from economic ruin,” Robinson stated.

The Kids Aren’t Alright

With all of the political drama happening...I just don’t think many of you realize the consequences of what is happening right now in our country.

. . .

Our kids are growing up with a poor education and no future. They have no prospects. They have no great vision. THEY HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE LEFT THEM.

They are not lazy, they are not ignorant. We left them with a path that leads nowhere.

THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. Yeah, none of the highly conservatively leaning ATS members will state this, but I WILL....nor do I care about what anyone states about me.

The Tea party movement has NOTHING compared on what is soon to come. You haven’t seen the real anger yet...and WOW....I know it’s coming.

I hope you are ready....the kids aren’t alright....THEY ARE P*SSED.

The Feminist Movement—Ruining The Image Of Men

It seems that today’s feminism is all about reducing the male gender to nothing. Continually pushing an agenda that seeks to demonize and put down the male perspective in favor of that of women.

I have seen this happen first hand in the media, court systems (primarily family court) and in societal settings in general. It seems in this day and age the women are the rulers and we are the slaves.

There’s also over the past decade or so, a movement that has arisen to ‘feminize’ men into being more women like. The age of the lumber jack and the protector are days of the past it seems. Women crave the sensitive, emo type character we see in the movies and books of today’s youth.

You could also use the new term “Metro Sexual” as the defining label to this new bread of men.

I want to open a discussing about the points made above, in regards specifically to men being looked down upon as second class citizens, and being forced to change themselves in order to be successful in what I call today’s “Woman’s World”.

confirmed ! Russian and Japan War Ships Coming to SF

A Russian warship will pay a rare visit to San Francisco later this month.

The guided missile cruiser Varyag left Vladivostok on June 4 bound for San Francisco and will arrive on June 20 for a five-day stay.

The cruiser sailed in company with the Russian navy tanker Boris Butoma and the salvage tug Fotiy Krylov. It was not clear whether these two ships will accompany the Varyag to San Francisco.

The Russian ships are commanded by Rear Adm. Vladimir Kasatonov, and the purpose of the visit, which may include other California ports, is to promote U.S.-Russian military cooperation, according to a spokesman for the Russian Pacific Fleet.

No one at the port of San Francisco could remember the last time a Russian naval vessel visited the West Coast, though merchant ships from the Russian Far East occasionally call at San Francisco Bay.

June 20 will be a busy day on the San Francisco waterfront. Three Japanese Self-Defense Force vessels, all warships, are expected that day. If all six vessels arrive that day, it will be the largest number of foreign warships to call at San Francisco in many years.

Just a question: WHY is this on the ‘net???

So the dumb Iranians won't suspect the Turks when the Israeli jets overfly Turkish airspace.

You don't actually think the Turks want want the Iranians to have the atomic bomb, do you? That would be a threat to Turkish state interests.

There is no actual Turko-Iranian-Syrian axis. There WILL be a restoration of an Ottoman Hegemony, but only after the Iranians are cut down to size.

This is the Saudis acting like Debka so the Iranians are looking the other way when the hammer falls.

By the way, I suspect the Administration in Washington will be the last to know, as no one in authority in that part of the world considers them to be trustworthy.

Best,

Chris

What’s in it for Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is mostly Sunni. Iran is mostly Shi'a.

These two denominations of Islam just barely get along, and sometimes not at all -- like Protestants and Catholics in Ireland.

What is a 737/747 transponder?

Transponders emit a code as assigned by ATC, they are not aircraft specific.

To be clear, there is no such thing as a aircraft-specific transponder. Transponders emit a code as assigned by ATC.

We are “running” the airspace over there and we track the region’s traffic. There is no way Israel would be able to pull tis off unless they coordinate with us.

No matter, anyway, Israel won’t do it. They haven’t the weapon to attack the sites. We. . .on the other hand. . .

Truth is, they don’t have anything like the B-2 or LO jets.

We have the jets and we have the weapon. . . . .we simply don’t have the will (Obummer).
