Russia and China vetoed an Arab- and Western-backed resolution at the U.N. Security Council calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down over his bloody crackdown on a popular uprising.
The setback in diplomatic efforts to defuse the revolt peacefully came after world leaders and Syrian opposition activists accused Assad’s forces of killing hundreds of people in a bombardment of the city of Homs, the bloodiest night in 11 months of upheaval in the pivotal Arab country.
Shortly before the Security Council voted, U.S. President Hussein Obama denounced the “unspeakable assault” on Homs, demanded that Assad leave power immediately and called for U.N. action against Assad’s “relentless brutality.”
“The Syrian government murdered hundreds of Syrian citizens, including women and children, in Homs through shelling and other indiscriminate violence, and Syrian forces continue to prevent hundreds of injured civilians from seeking medical help,” the American dictator said in a statement. “Any government that brutalises and massacres its people does not deserve to govern.”
Fritz Springmeier again exposes the frontmen of the Illuminati and the bloodlines behind the powers that rule our world. Alex Jones and Fritz discuss the deep and secretive history of the elite’s occultic system.
The information Springmeier had revealed was clearly a threat to the establishment. He is now free from prison after serving years on trumped up charges.
Springmeier’s seminal work, Bloodlines of the Illuminati, is back in print and available at Infowars after years of being unavailable and difficult to find.
US Secretary of State Leon Panetta has been outspoken about a possible Israeli offensive against Iran taking place as of April and one American TV channel theorized simplistically about tactics.
At the same time, no US source is leveling on the far more extensive American, Saudi, British, French and Gulf states’ preparations going forward for an offensive against the Islamic Republic.
Tehran too is gearing up for conflict: The Iranian Guards Ground Forces chief Brig. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour announced the start of a three-week exercise in southern Iran and the Strait of Hormuz under conditions of war.
The “exercise” is in fact an Iranian military buildup ahead of a possible American or Israel attack.
Military sources report a steady flow of many thousands of US troops for some weeks to two strategic islands within reach of Iran, Oman’s Masirah just south of the Strait of Hormuz and Socotra, between Yemen and the Horn of Africa.
This concentration was held by the White House as sufficiently urgent to relent on its refusal to admit the ousted Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Salah to America for medical treatment.
He won permission in exchange for his consent to the Socotra military buildup.
When you use the Internet in a public place, do you prefer to have as much privacy as possible? Well, that makes you a potential terrorist. According to the FBI, Internet privacy is now considered to be suspicious activity.
If you are out in public and you attempt to keep snoopers from peeking at your computer screen, then according to the FBI they should gather as much information about you as they can and they should report you to the authorities immediately.
If this seems completely and totally ridiculous to you, then you are not alone. Millions of Americans have become deeply concerned about the constantly expanding definition of “suspicious activity” in the United States. Sadly, the federal government is now engaging in an all-out attempt to have us all spy on one another.
All over America, the Department of Homeland Security is running ads promoting the “See Something, Say Something” campaign. They even had 8,000 stadium workers at the Super Bowl this year go through special training on how to spot potential terrorists.
So the next time you see a hot dog vendor, keep in mind that he might also be part of a special anti-terrorism task force.
It is absolutely amazing what the definition of “suspicious activity” now includes….
Look, if I am doing some online banking or am composing an email to a friend I don’t want someone peeking at my screen. Aren’t most Americans “concerned about privacy” and don’t most people want to keep their Internet activity to themselves?
We have seen the government warn about this before. It appears that from now on using cash in America is going to get you labeled as a potential terrorist. How bizarre is that?
Some people are just naturally nervous. This kind of vague language could be applied to almost anyone.
What if your cell phone battery is dead and you need to use your wife’s cell phone? Does that make you a potential terrorist?
A lot of times people will use Internet cafes when they are out of town on a trip. Is there something inherently suspicious about that?
Why in the world would this be considered to be suspicious activity?
These are lots of people out there that take Internet security very seriously and that use things like this. And how would a casual observer know that these kinds of things are being used? You would have to be watching someone pretty closely to know that something like this is going on.
What would “suspicious or coded writings” include? Again, this is very vague language and could include a vast array of different things.
So nobody should use encryption anymore?
What exactly would fall under the category of “suspicious communications”?
Also, if you are talking to someone through a PC game, there is a good chance that it is a very violent PC game and that you would say something that you normally wouldn’t say in real life.
You might say something like this: “Okay let’s get the guys together and go kill the boss. We’ll meet at the Gates of Endor in a half hour.”
According to the FBI, that could easily be labeled as “suspicious activity” that needs to be reported to the authorities.
So exactly what are we being instructed to do if we see something suspicious?
The following are things that the FBI says make a hotel guest “suspicious”….
I do this all the time. I always request a non-smoking room and I always prefer a king size bed. Also, if I have a lot of stuff to carry I may request a room on the ground floor. Does that make me suspicious?
Once again, using cash is considered to be a suspicious activity. How long will it be before they try to outlaw cash?
Has the person writing these things ever even traveled with a woman?
When I am visiting a new area, I will often talk with hotel staff about places to eat or places to visit.
Is that a problem?
This is something that I have done for years. I don’t want a maid to wake me up at the crack of dawn. If I refuse cleaning service will that get me put on a list somewhere?
Many hotels have entrances all around the building so that you don’t have to walk a mile to get to your car.
If I walk out a side door directly to my car does that make me a potential terrorist?
How many of us have ever left something behind in a hotel room by mistake? Sometimes I triple check the room and still manage to leave something behind.
Sometimes when you have a day off you just want to stay in bed all day.
Or if you are newly married you may not want to leave your room for a few days.
Should newly married couples be reported to the government as potential terrorists?
I change my appearance all the time.
If I am on vacation, I may not shave for several days.
And most people I know wear different clothes every single day.
So exactly how dramatic would a “change” of appearance have to be in order to be considered suspicious?
Sometimes people have business plans or vacation plans that involve an unusual schedule.
And it is highly offensive that the federal government is instructing us to watch one another so closely.
When did the United States turn into East Germany?
In America today, everyone is a “potential terrorist” and will be treated as such.
If the authorities will detain U.S. Senators at our airports for “security reasons” and if they will issue hundreds of thousands of tickets to school children, then there is no reason to believe that you are going to be treated with dignity and respect.
The United States is rapidly becoming a Big Brother police state. I didn’t sign up to live in North Korea, but that is exactly where we are headed.
We have been told that all of our rights are now “limited privileges” that can be taken away at any time for the sake of “national security”.
Sadly, most Americans have become convinced that if we give up large amounts of liberty and freedom it will help the authorities keep us safe.
But that is a lie. Without a doubt, more bad things are going to happen in the future.
When those bad things happen, we will be told that we need to give up even more liberty and freedom.
Events reveal that the United States plans to conduct a false flag terror event to be blamed on Iran. The event will likely occur within the next six months and will result in an attack on Iran prior to the November election.
Officialdom in the United States and Israel have issued a warning about an Iranian “threat stream” against “soft targets” in America.
The warning arrives after Obama’s intelligence boss James Clapper said Iran may strike inside the United States.
“We predict that the threat on our sites around the world will increase… on both our guarded sites and ‘soft’ sites,” states a letter sent out by the head of security for the Israeli Consul General for the Mid-Atlantic States.
Guarded sites are government facilities like embassies while soft sites are Jewish synagogues, schools, and community centers.
“The thwarted assassination plot of a Saudi official in Washington, D.C., a couple of months ago was an important data point,” a nameless official told ABC News, “in that it showed at least parts of the Iranian establishment were aware of the intended event and were not concerned about inevitable collateral damage to U.S. citizens had they carried out an assassination plot on American soil.”
Cohen linked the alleged threat to the discredited plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in October. A court document in the case revealed that the FBI and the DEA concocted the plot as a sting operation and used failed used car salesman and alcoholic Mansour Arbabsiar as a patsy. Arbabsiar, who is from Iran, thought he was participating in a drug deal.
Despite the fallacious nature of the plot, intelligence officials used it to hype the specter of Iranian terrorism that will likely result in a false flag operation used as a pretext to invade Iran.
“There has been an escalation in threats against Jewish targets around the world,” an intelligence document cited by ABC News states. It warns that demonstrations “could potentially turn violent at local synagogues, restaurants and other sites.”
The bulletin also provides an excuse for the TSA to step-up intrusive pat-downs and demand travelers be subjected to dangerous naked body scanners at airports across the United States.
“According to our evaluation there is a possibility that the forged passports will be used in order to pass as citizens at the security checks around the world.
The latest warning arrives after the Turkish newspaper Zaman reported that a cell of the Quds Unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard planned to attack U.S. embassy in Ankara and other targets across Turkey.
The latest development follows a number of events over the past few weeks that point toward a concerted attack by the United States on Iran:
• DEBKAfile reported that the United States will have 100,000 troops in the region by March. “Pentagon has been quietly massing troops and armaments on two islands located just south of the Strait of Hormuz, and within easy striking distance of Iran,” Mac Slavo wrote on January 31.
• The establishment media reported that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said “there is a strong likelihood that there will be a strike against Iran in April, May or June,” according to the Washington Post. The timeline is predicated on Iran entering a “zone of immunity” in its unsubstantiated effort to build a nuclear bomb.
• Iran has issued a number of threats in response to punitive oil and economic sanctions devised by the United States and Europe. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a nationally televised speech that his country will retaliate if Western nations impose crippling oil sanctions. In response to European Union foreign ministers deciding to impose an oil embargo on the country, Iran vowed to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
• Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Martin Dempsey admitted that Iran has the ability to close off the strategic shipping lane linking the Gulf of Oman with the Persian Gulf. He said doing so would constitute a “red line.”
• In response to Sec. Def. Panetta’s not ruling out an attack, Iran announced it would hold a military exercise in the Persian Gulf. The 10 day exercise, dubbed “Velayat-e 90,” demonstrated that Iran has the ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. further exacerbated the situation by sending the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis through the Strait of Hormuz while Iran was conducting its war game.
• Russia and China have indicated that an attack on Iran would constitute an attack on their national security. “Iran is our close neighbor, just south of the Caucasus. Should anything happen to Iran, should Iran get drawn into any political or military hardships, this will be a direct threat to our national security,” said Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s deputy prime minister and former envoy to NATO, in mid-January.
DEBKAfile said Obama will use war as a re-election tool.
“President Barack Obama went on line to America’s senior allies, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Israel and Saudi Arabia, with notice of his plan to attack Iran no later than September-October 2012 – unless Tehran halted its nuclear weaponization programs,” the neocon-connected subscriber-only publication predicted.
“Obama’s announcement was not perceived as a general directive to US allies, but a guideline to blow the dust off the contingency plans for a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities which stayed locked in bottom drawers for three years,” states the report, adding that “Obama’s announcement spurred Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Israel into girding their navies, air forces, ballistic units and anti-missile defense systems for the challenges ahead.”
Britain’s foreign secretary William Hague said his country has not ruled out military action against Iran. Britain had dispatched its “most formidable warship HMS Daring” to the Persian Gulf region prior to Hague’s remarks.
As Obama’s job rating began its descent into the abyss, former Clintonite and Democrat operative Mark Penn said Obama needs a domestic terror attack to regain his popularity. In July of that year, another former Clintonite, Robert Shapiro, said the only thing can preserve the Obama presidency is war.
“The bottom line here is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership,” said Shapiro, writing for the Financial Times. “He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”
The late Washington Post columnist David Broder was more succinct. “With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran’s ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs.
This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve,” he wrote in late 2010.
Tensions will undoubtedly rise if there is a terror attack inside the United States.
It would provide an airtight excuse to unleash the awesome power of the U.S. military against Iran and cast Obama in the adulatory light all “war presidents” receive as the masses fall in line and wave their flags and cheer on “our boys” as they decimate another country and engage in yet another bloody massacre of innocents.
