Israel pushing for World War III: Military analyst.

    I think at this stage we can no longer take this as a conspiracy but I will post it anyway.

    Nothing would surprise us of fundamentalist Zionist aggression from what we have witnessed in the past. Between the ruthless attacks on Lebanon, West Bank and not to mention the USS Liberty and of course 9/11.

    Something big has to blow soon, will it be an attack on the Olympic Games, Damascus or the USS Enterprise in the coming weeks?

    "An American military analyst says by using its international assets to launch “false-flag” terror attacks against certain targets and by framing Iran, Israel is bent on making the US attack the Islamic Republic and fomenting World War III, Press TV reports.

    “We are watching a plan take shape, one devised in Tel Aviv, making use of ‘assets’ around the world, meant to culminate in orchestrated ‘false-flag’ terror attacks which Israeli influence in the media, vast influence, can use to create an atmosphere enabling an attack on Iran by the United States,” Gordon Duff said in an article published on Press TV website.

    Referring to recent botched attempt on the life of the US State Secretary Hillary Clinton during her visit to Israel and subsequent attack on a bus in Bulgaria carrying Israeli tourists, the author said such terror attacks were in fact planned by Israel in order to incriminate Iran and incite the world’s public opinion against it.

    The analyst added that the situation in the Persian Gulf denotes that although there is no rationale for Iran to wish for any confrontation, the stage is set by Israel and the US in such a way that such a confrontation would be inevitable".

    As I said in the OP, its hardly a conspiracy as its becoming kind of evident at this stage.

    The Zionist controlled and influenced multi national news corporations are hardly going to come up with a story like this.

    A US attack on Iran would more than likely include an attack on Syria, Lebannon, possibly other locations too.

    There will be a swift response from Iran, Hezbollah, Syria (those chemical weapons they supposedly have and supposedly said they would use against outside nations), Israel will be under attack from various locations with a variety of weapons never seen before, under these circumstances I believe the zionist regime would resort to the Samson Option.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

    There's the very real chance Russia or China get involved, NATO, all hell would break loose. Poland/Czech missile shield sites would be attacked spreading the war, UK obviously involved, the whole middle east would be dragged in, Egypt, north Africa maybe.

    How does a man in Tunisia setting himself on fire instigate a wave of murder, destruction, toppling of regimes/govt's like domino's from Tunis to Damascus, and this:
    "Mrs Clinton said the pace of events was accelerating inside Syria and called on the opposition to be prepared for a transition of power, adding that it was not yet too late for President Assad himself to prepare for such a handover..............?

    Zen Gardener gives a good analysis of this current delicate situation.

    "If it was any more obvious, the headlines would flip and tell the truth for once. But they won’t. Zionist warlord Netanyahu and company are working hard at laying the groundwork for a Mossad attack somewhere with the usual misdirect to those they want to invade and kill as the villains.

    Just as they did with 9/11 via complicit oligarchs and their war machine stooges.

    And the mindless masses will fall for it. Oh, many are waking up but still not enough to scream the alarm like everyone should. Nevertheless, the alternative media awareness increases daily as do its adherents and those new to the wake up of all this staged insanity".

    Israeli tourists are flocking to vantage points in the Golan Heights to take a glimpse of ongoing battle in Syrian, the Times of Israel reported on Tuesday.

    The report got a lot of attention following the visit of Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak to Golan Heights to personally witness the escalating battle in the war-torn neighboring country. Local TV channels aired images of the minister watching the shelling of Jobata al-Khashab across the Syrian border.

    According to the Israeli newspaper, an increasing number of Israelis could be seen, carrying binoculars and cameras, visiting the Golan Heights to watch the ongoing clashes.

    The war-watchers had to content themselves with listening to the sound of explosions and exchange of gunfire, which were more common reported by Hurriyet Daily News.

    "Israeli tourists"? Really? Not even a chance of just being "tourists in Israel"?

    Minister for Defence inspecting borders is hardly news either.

    I'm sure if you were a tourist there, you'd just look away from Syrian direction and wouldn't be curious in the slightest.
    Did you find out where the little group of tourists are actually from, by the way? Didn't think so.

    German intel.: Qaeda behind terror in Syria
    The German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) has revealed that al-Qaeda is responsible for numerous terrorist attacks in Syria, including the Houla massacre.

    The BND estimates that al-Qaeda has carried out “about 90 terrorist attacks” in Syria between late last December and early July, German daily Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote in an article on July 16.

    The revelation was made public by the German government in response to a parliamentary question.


    The German government also confirmed that it had received numerous reports from the BND on al-Qaeda’s involvement in the May 25 massacre in the Syrian town of Houla in the central province of Homs, in which 108 people, including dozens of children and women, were killed execution-style.

    However, the German government stated that the reports were supposed to remain classified "by reason of national interest."

    The West and the Syrian opposition blamed the Syrian government for the carnage, but a Syrian government-appointed fact-finding mission had said that armed groups had carried out the massacre to frame the government and foment sectarian strife.

    The intelligence reports raise several questions about the terrorist nature of the self-proclaimed Free Syrian Army, and even more so about the fact that many of the armed terrorists, killed in clashes with Syrian security forces, carried foreign passports.

    On Thursday, The New York Times published an article, stating that “the evidence is mounting that Syria has become a magnet for Sunni extremists, including those operating under the banner of al-Qaeda.”
    http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/07/26/252950/bnd-qaeda-behind-terror-in-syria/


    German intelligence: al-Qaeda all over Syria
    In response to the same question, the German government admitted that it had received several reports from the German foreign intelligence service, the BND, on the May 25 massacre in the Syrian town of Houla. But it noted that the content of these reports was to remain classified "by reason of national interest", Like many other Western governments, Germany expelled Syria's ambassador in the immediate aftermath of the massacre, holding the Syrian government responsible for the violence.

    Meanwhile, at least three major German newspapers - Die Welt, the FAZ, and the mass-market tabloid Bild - have published reports attributing responsibility for the massacre to anti-government rebel forces or treating this as the most probable scenario.

    Writing in Bild, longtime German war correspondent Jurgen Todenhofer accused the rebels of "deliberately killing civilians and then presenting them as victims of the government". He described this "massacre-marketing strategy" as being "among the most disgusting things that I have ever experienced in an armed conflict". Todenhofer had recently been to Damascus, where he interviewed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for Germany's ARD public television.

    Here's the original article, in German:
    http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/neue-erkenntnisse-zu-getoeteten-von-hula-abermals-massaker-in-syrien-11776496.html

    A Syrian Bloodbath Revisited:
    Searching for the Truth Behind the Houla Massacre
    Initially, the United Nations was convinced that the Syrian government was behind the brutal Houla massacre. But then, some began to have doubts. SPIEGEL traveled to the town to interview survivors and witnesses -- and was able to reconstruct the horrifying slaughter.

    Obama Allying with Al Qaeda Terrorists; Moves to Increase Arms to Syrian Rebels

    Since deadly unrest gripped Syria more than a year ago, the government has frequently blamed its foreign enemies for directing a destructive militant attack against country. Now a growing number of western media reports are proving just that.
    Posted on July 24, 2012 by friendsofsyria
    The Obama Administation is increasing lethal aid to Syrian rebels and will openly move toward direct military support of the Syrian opposition fighters that are carrying out daily attacks, including massacres of civilians, report a number of Washington-based intelligence sources.
    Even though U.S. intelligence knows that the most active Syrian fighters are affiliates and co-thinkers with Al Qaeda, the White House is so frustrated and determined to get rid of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad—without Congressional approval, or even UN Security Council approval, that they are increasing—with the Saudis—the pace of arming the Al Qaeda.

    Ah this is a change from your original quote. Politicians live in fear of everything from making a racist remark, to "misspeaking", to spelling the word "potatoes" wrong.

    Politicians will not however be ousted by making a negative remark on Israel, that's a little OTT.

    I said there have been plenty of outspoken critics, then the Spanish inquisition arrived (expectedly) with a change of goal posts asking for percentages and reasons why.

    So I'll just repeat what I said, there are plenty of politicians who have been outspoken (critically) on Israel and haven't been suddenly found themselves out of work..

    Off the top of my head - Kucinich, McKinney, Buchanan, Ron Paul, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nader.. then there is Barbara Lee, Barney Frank, Chuck Hagel even Bush and Condi Rice have had a go.

    Bush, Obama, Clinton...outspoken critics on Israel...:pac

    Were they ousted?
    Can you see the difference?

    So those two who voted nay, will they be ousted?

    I am refuting someone else's point. As for politicians, as I said before, there have been plenty who have been critical of Israel :)

    Apparently, disagreeing with Israeli policy is not something you can do on a case by case basis and more of a vocational thing.

    Who knew?

    How would a US attack on Iran, instigate a world war?

    Iran is de-facto alligned with Russia and China. Iran will also shut down the Strait of Hormuz, strike Israel, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. The UK is another Country that'll be involved because, well, they have a track record of 1 war per decade and are quite frankly war mongers.

    I'm getting worried about the way Israel and Iran are sparring verbally more often of late and I am mindful of Winston Churchill's maxim "Jaw, Jaw is better that War, War". There's more in today's papers where it's reported the Israeli Defence Minister as saying it will attack Iran's Nuclear programme sooner or later.

    The Syrian mess is reaching across into Lebanon on Israel's northern border. After a member of a (pro-Syrian Govt) Lebanese-based militia was taken hostage by the Syrian Rebel Army, the militia took up to 20 Syrians hostage in Lebanon for the return of their clan-member.

    It didn't take long for that to have ripple-effects. On Wednesday, an Air France passenger jet due to land in Beirut couldn't do so, due to fighting on the airport runway. The pilot opted to fly to Amman in Jordan but was low in fuel, so he flew to Damascus, in Syria. There he found he (initially) couldn't refuel as (due to UN sanctions) Air France had had it's fuel payment rights there cancelled and had to ask his passengers for cash or use of their credit cards to pay for the fuel. The passengers weren't too happy as their plane was surrounded by angry looking soldiers. They eventually got fuel and went back to Beirut.

    Israel has had an Iranian proxy-army (Hiz;b'Allah) on it's Northern border for decades now, and while the Syrian Army no longer has a presence in Lebanon, there's enough of a liable threat to Israel there for senior Israeli Govt and IDF staff to feel worried.

    While the world is watching Syria, just next door is a state which Iran would like to eliminate. The Iranian President commented the other day that Israel is a stain upon humanity.

    If This Document Is Correct Israel's Attack On Iran Would Be Like Nothing Seen Before

    American blogger Richard Silverstein claims to have acquired an "Israeli briefing document" that outlines an Israeli attack on Iran and its nuclear facilities. While the validity of the report is seriously in question, it does outline a rather spectacular 21st century attack. Arutz Sheva translated the document from its original Hebrew and writes:

    The Israeli attack on Iran “will begin with a coordinated strike, including an unprecedented cyber-attack which will totally paralyze the Iranian regime and its ability to know what is happening within its borders. The internet, telephones, radio and television, communications satellites, and fiber optic cables leading to and from critical installations will be taken out of action. The electrical grid throughout Iran will be paralyzed and transformer stations will absorb severe damage from carbon fiber munitions which are finer than a human hair, causing electrical short circuits whose repair requires their complete removal.”

    Following the coordinated strike, according to the document, “A barrage of tens of ballistic missiles would be launched from Israel toward Iran. 300km ballistic missiles would be launched from Israeli submarines in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf. The missiles would not be armed with unconventional warheads [WMD], but rather with high-explosive ordnance equipped with reinforced tips designed specially to penetrate hardened targets.

    “The missiles will strike their targets—some exploding above ground like those striking the nuclear reactor at Arak–which is intended to produce plutonium and tritium—and the nearby heavy water production facility; the nuclear fuel production facilities at Isfahan and facilities for enriching uranium-hexaflouride. Others would explode under-ground, as at the Fordo facility.

    “A barrage of hundreds of cruise missiles will pound command and control systems, research and development facilities, and the residences of senior personnel in the nuclear and missile development apparatus,” continues the document exposed by Silverstein. “Intelligence gathered over years will be utilized to completely decapitate Iran’s professional and command ranks in these fields.”


    The "document" goes on to say that after the initial attacks, Israeli satellites will pass over Iran to gauge the damage. Then:
    "Only after rapidly decrypting the satellite’s data, will the information be transferred directly to war planes making their way covertly toward Iran. These IAF planes will be armed with electronic warfare gear previously unknown to the wider public, not even revealed to our U.S. ally. This equipment will render Israeli aircraft invisible. Those Israeli war planes which participate in the attack will damage a short-list of targets which require further assault.”

    The news of the "leak" is blossoming around the Web, but David Cenciotti at The Aviationist brings his experience to bear on the subject and offers some of the most unique insights that conclude with the likelihood it's all nothing more than speculation. Regardless, his evaluation is worth checking out here
