A few nights ago, the call was for ‘unconditional surrender’.
Not long after, the E-4B Nightwatch, also known as the ‘Doomsday Plane‘, made an unexpected journey to Joint Base Andrews near Washington, DC, on June 17th.
The plane, described as an airborne command center for the President, Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs of Staff, is for use in national emergencies – particularly nuclear war.
Many regarded the plane’s flight to Washington as unusual.
The US President has subsequently said he’s going to take another two weeks to decide whether the US will join the assault on Iran.
Why?
Well, assuming this isn’t another ruse/strategy to confuse the Iranians and maintain the state of tension, it might be because the calculations of possible consequences have been made.
By consequences, we mean escalation to wider conflict. But the two weeks could also mean something is expected to happen during that time – one of those possibilities is a major false flag event, which we’ll get to shortly.
But first let’s think about how easily this conflict could expand beyond its desired parameters.
Israel may have recently neutralised Syria and Lebanon as potential Iranian allies – but they were always less of a threat than the likes of China and even Pakistan.
The potential conflict equations stemming from war in Iran – especially a regime change war, as Netanyahu has been calling for – are extremely dangerous.
Iran is in a much stronger position than Iraq was in 2003 or Gaddafi’s Libya was in 2011.
As little as three months ago, Iran was involved in joint naval exercises with both China and Russia.
China is heavily invested in Iran and might not be willing to see Iran plunged into chaos.
Further, Pakistan is increasingly aligning with the Iranians too, according to multiple sources. While Iranian claims that Pakistan had agreed to nuke Israel in the event of Israel nuking Iran were denied by Islamabad, reports are strongly suggesting the Pakistani regime is leaning towards supporting Tehran.
Interestingly, this might also be partly why Israel has been flooding weapons and military technology into Pakistan’s enemy India – to aid India in attacking its neighbour should a broader war erupt.
The alliance – both militarily and ideologically – between the extremist Zionist government in Israel and the extremist Hindu nationalists currently ruling India has been sticking out like a sore thumb for some time now.
We saw just weeks ago how close India and Pakistan – two nuclear powers – came to war: it wouldn’t take too much to push them over the edge. Pakistan also accused Israeli drone operators of attempting to sabotage Pakistan’s nuclear facilities during the India/Pakistan skirmish in May (which I covered here).
Also, Pakistan is closely aligned with China: which is another way it could end up involved in allying with the Iranians.
In effect, it’s a potential escalation that would involve *all* of the current nuclear armed states!
Has Washington backed off out of anxiety over these potential expansions of conflict?
It’s possible.
At the same time, it’s difficult to fathom the US abandoning Netanyahu – the man who has essentially dictated most US military activity in the region for over two decades.
And Trump has called for the Iranian government’s ‘unconditional surrender’. What does ‘unconditional surrender’ even mean when you’re actively under attack from a foreign country?
Surrender to who? And on what terms?
If it’s about opening up their nuclear programme for inspection, hadn’t they already done that? And if it’s about negotiating an agreement, didn’t they already do that in 2015, before Trump scrapped the agreement?
And were they not actively negotiating with the US when Israel decided to launch these current attacks?
It seems clear that Tehran isn’t being given any viable path other than war. It’s the same impossible situation Saddam Hussein’s government was placed in in 2003.
Furthermore, the war in Iran was one of the main purposes for which Israel placed Trump in the White House in the first place.
It’s why Trump was apparently so outraged by the Obama era Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, ranting and raving about it. He was just reading the script Netanyahu and co had given him.
Remember the ridiculously over-the-top “Stay strong, Israel – January 20th is approaching!” tweet? I think I covered it at the time here.
It’s also why he scrapped the Iran Deal when he came into office – a deal that the US under Obama, the EU, China and Russia had all worked to establish (specifically to avert the very conflict that’s happening now). He was just following Bibi’s instructions.
So why he would deviate from Netanyahu and Israel’s agenda now is difficult to see.
One possibility of course is that the Israelis could stage a false-flag incident of some kind to blame on Iran – thus giving Trump (and probably even the UK) a better pretext for military intervention.
Wall of Controversy raises this point here, particularly citing the precedent of Israel’s notorious attack on the USS Liberty in relation to the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.
We know from their initial night of operations in Iran, that there are Mossad agents in the country. It’s entirely possible they could be planning some kind of attack on US interests that will look like it came from within Iran.
The world should be watching for such a false flag event in the next two weeks.
Not that identifying a false flag for what it is will make the slightest bit of difference.
Given that an apocalyptic Iran/Israel war has essentially been part of the geo-political script for years now, and also even prophesied for ages, it’s hard to imagine anything is going to alter the programme at this stage.
Real or forgery, the famous (and Masonic) Albert Pike letter predicting how World War III would come about seems to be playing out. As I’ve written here before, I entirely accept that the letter may be a forgery (especially with it’s ‘illuminati’ references): however, the age of even the forgery makes it rather notably prescient.
And the Biblical prophecy enthusiasts and apocalypse fantasists are frothing at the mouth online over this Iran/Israel escalation.
The excitement and enthusiasm is, as ever, disturbing: with most Biblical hobbyists pointing to passages from Ezekiel.
As with everything concerning Israel, the elements of prophecy and zealotry are ever-present companions.
I’m sure regime fanatics in Iran are probably framing the conflict in terms of similarly excitable Islamic prophecy too. I’m pretty sure the hardline fundamentalists believe the ayatollahs are ordained by God and fulfilling end times expectations.
Netanyahu himself was citing scriptural prophecy when he announced the Israeli assault in Tehran, with the name ‘Operation Rising Lion‘ itself being drawn from Biblical texts (specifically the book of Numbers). The ‘rising Lion’ might also be a reference to the line of David and the Messianic fulfilment.
So I guess lots of people’s scripts – and fantasies – are playing out. Nothing new there.
