Global SITREP B3-15: Psychological Warfare of the Last Resort

Israeli Air Force F-15I Ra'am (Thunder) Strike Aircraft 

"Git'R'Done"

2 March 2015 Evening Update: Word on the "street" is that the expected bombshell of the highly secretive Obama-Ayatollah nuclear weapons negotiations was leaked early this morning by an insider with highly significant access. The leaked item has been dubbed the "Sunset Clause" and accordingly is a blatant capitulation by Obama to the Ayatollah providing for a "time limited" final agreement. Essentially, when the agreed upon time limit, (reportedly 10 years) expires Iran will be free to go whole hog into the unlimited production of weapons grade enriched uranium.  

The Obama negotiation capitulation would guarantee the Ayatollah the weapons of mass annihilation he needs to bring about a global apocalypse in order to summon a non-existent 12th Imam out of hiding... except that Israel will be forced to strike unilaterally in the interim to nullify the Iranian nuclear weapons program. Obama appears dead set on crafting an agreement that guarantees war.  

Bibi Speaks to Congress tomorrow. Stand by...

2 March 2015: Given that baseball season is finally upon us, Global SITREP B3-15 shall be considered as 'strike one' against the blatant untruthfulness of the Arab media reports.  Eschatology Today has led the way in vetting this subject, so we should get credit for the first strike thrown.

Now, and to its credit, the Obama Administration late last night issued a statement to The Washington Times stating that the al-Jarida/Ma'an News Agency report about Obama ordering a shootdown of Israeli planes attacking Iran nuclear facilities "is totally false." 

"Steee-rike twooooooo!!!"

Not to be outdone, the White House-based National Security Council (NSC) also issued via its Twitter account its own denial stating "there is no truth to ‘reports’ about Obama & Israeli jets." 

"Steee-rike threeeeeee!!! You're outa here!"

1 March 2015: A report from the Arabic-language al-Jarida newspaper of Kuwait has suddenly gone viral on the eve of PM Bibi Netanyahu's historic speech before a joint session of the U.S. Congress. The strange thing about this year old report is that it's virulence was not due to the journalistic stature of the originating Kuwaiti newspaper, but from a "Palestinian" media conglomerate based in Arab-occupied Bethlehem and Gaza known as the Ma'an News Agency, and a handful of sensationalist newspapers in Israel, ably aided and abetted by numerous U.S. media outlets.

These twin aspects alone should attest to the veracity of the Ma'an News Agency regurgitation of the alleged al-Jarida report on Saturday, therefore making this SITREP extraneous to the real issues before us at the present time. However, because numerous sensationalist Israeli media picked up and re-broadcast the Ma'an regurgitation right after the Sabbath day had concluded in Israel the alleged issue has taken on a life of its own. This is a benchmark of psychological warfare, and it is aimed at your brain.

The issue according to the Arabs is that President Obama communicated a threat to Israel last year to shoot down any Israeli air strike caught winging its way towards Iranian nuclear targets. That would be enough of an allegation on its own, but the Arab media didn't stop there. They then claimed that the IAF launched "experimental" sorties of IAF strike aircraft over the course of several weeks in 2014 to make sure the strike's planning would be successful.  Not content with that tidbit being juicy enough for world media attention, the Arabs added even more. Not only did the IAF run their experimental sorties, but the Arabs claim that the IAF penetrated Iranian defensive radar coverage and went on uncontested joyrides across the length and breadth of the territory of the Islamic Republic. This, apparently, was just too much for the more salacious members of Israeli media to resist and an Arab-conjured disinformation virus was released upon an unsuspecting world.

The truth is that no such thing ever happened. No order to strike Iranian nuclear targets was ever issued by PM Netanyahu and his cabinet in 2014. No, the IAF did not "manage to penetrate" Iranian air defenses and fly unimpeded wherever they wished over the Islamic Republic. One would think that media of a Western orientation as Israel's is would recognize this rubbish for what it was, but sensationalism sells advertizing and advertizing means shekels in pockets, especially when hordes of internet surfers come riding in to 'read all about it.'

I have mentioned on this Eschatology Today blog several times over the past 24 months that a  strike by Israel on Iranian nuclear sites in 2012 was planned to occur but the plan was aborted. In Israel today the just retired IDF Chief-of-Staff Lieutenant General Benny Gantz has strongly hinted to Israeli media he opposed that planned strike and thereby attesting to its reality. 

As I have strongly cautioned many times in recent months, a war is in progress and the first casualty in any war is always the truth. The blatant disinformation created by the Kuwaiti al-Jarida and Ma'an News Agency reports that was picked up as "Obama Threatened to Shoot Down Israeli Planes" and given greater exposure by several Israeli media websites, which was then repeated by a Who's Who of American media staples such as, but not limited to: NewsMax, WorldNetDaily, FoxNews, Breitbart, and the Washington Times, all without any journalistic vetting whatsoever of the original reports, which was then subsequently accepted as de facto truth by Bible-prophecy websites here in the United States has proven my point about this kind of psychological warfare.  

We know better, or at least we should know better. "Wars and rumors of war" as our Lord warned are a fact-of-life for us at the end of this present age. Question: is a rumor of this type really believable? Do we really accept that President Obama would issue  an illegal military order to American military forces to shoot down the Israeli Air Force and our officer pilots and enlisted men would comply with that illegal order? Really? If so, then we've been more thoroughly and completely psychologically conditioned for a world gone mad than I have heretofore realized. I'm thinking the Lord mustn't tarry much longer, that the Harpazo had better occur soon before more of us become susceptible to believing such lies. 

"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

See that you are not troubled by these things.

Global SITREP D7:14: PM Netanyahu's U.N. General Assembly Speech

 
UPDATE 09 October 2014: As referenced in the comments section of this SITREP, comparative satellite reconnaissance imagery (seen above) has been released by ISRAELDEFENSE.com (Damage at the Military Research Complex at Parchin) which puts the lie to statements made by the Islamic Republic of Iran talking heads who immediately denied that an explosion occurred at the Parchin nuclear weapons complex.  IsraelDefense imagery analyst Ronen Solomon characterized the satellite imagery as indicative of "damage consistent with an attack against bunkers in a central locality within the military research complex at the Parchin military compound."  

 

Exploding Bridge Wire (EBW) nuclear weapon initiator of the type Iran has been developing at the Parchin nuclear complex.

The right side of the image shows part of the Parchin complex on August 12, 2014. Everything intact. The left side of the image shows the same part of the Parchin complex on October 7, 2014. Look at these side-by-side images through a hand-held magnifying glass. Notice the direction of the building and tree shadows. Both images were acquired at nearly the same time of day nearly two months apart. Notice the red circled areas on the left side. In two distinct places, at most a hundred yards or so distant from each other, hundreds of trees and several buildings have been evaporated leaving nothing but scorched earth. Not even stumps of the trees that had been here remain. Other buildings have burned roofs and other trees have been completely defoliated.  There are six or seven responding vehicles in the center of the primary area of complete destruction, which is inclusive of nearly six entire blocks of what had been buildings and trees. Something very powerful, like a conventional initiator for a nuclear device, detonated unexpectedly and wiped this part of the Parchin complex slick. These pictures don't lie, and there's a couple thousand more words waiting to be discovered in the above image.

 

 02 October 2014: The strongest indicator (and possibly another warning) that Bibi Netanyahu's speech at the UNGA last week was more than mere rhetoric can be seen in the fact that the State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, has made it very clear that both the White House and the State Department flat-out rejected the entire content of PM Bibi Netanyahu's speech. Let me repeat that: both the White House and the U.S. Department of State flat-out rejected and do not hold any common ground with what Israel's Prime Minister had to say before the UN General Assembly last week.

At this point all intellectually honest folks who have not yet read the linked transcript of Netanyahu's speech might want to do so in order to come up to speed with the schism that exists between Israel and the United States regarding the truly existential threats that exist in the Middle East and how each is willing, or not willing, to address those threats.. One might want to recalibrate and reconsider how this situation is to be assessed in full.

And one doesn't have to take my word for any of this because if one regularly monitors Israel's normally US-oriented liberal media, such as The Jerusalem Post for example, then what I am saying in this update should be at least two-day old news. What could very well occur next without any warning will not come as a shock or a surprise.

The plain fact is that Obama has thrown both Netanyahu and Israel under the proverbial bus in the face of the existential threat posed by a nuclear armed Iran. If one happens to think that Israel will do nothing, one might want to reconsider the thought process in which that particular assessment was arrived at. One might just discover the acute difference between the level of threat posed by HAMAS to Israel, and the existential level threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran.

29 September 2014: I have been very critical of Israeli PM Netanyahu since this summer's IDF Operation Protective Edge because of the political calculus and maneuverings he used during the ground combat phase of the operation and how he unilaterally concluded it - guaranteeing great bloodshed and destruction in the near future. However, that aside, in his absolutely masterful address today to the United Nations General Assembly I would have to say that PM Netanyahu very adroitly placed all the world's nations on notice that an Iranian indigenous production of nuclear weapons cannot and will not be allowed to occur.

I have keyed upon and have here excerpted several sentences from the transcript as spoken by PM Netanyahu approximately midway through his address:

"Imagine how much more dangerous the Islamic State, ISIS, would be if it possessed chemical weapons. Now imagine how much more dangerous the Islamic state of Iran would be if it possessed nuclear weapons.

Ladies and gentlemen, would you let ISIS enrich uranium? Would you let ISIS build a heavy water reactor? Would you let ISIS develop intercontinental ballistic missiles? Of course you wouldn’t. Then you mustn’t let the Islamic state of Iran do those things either, because here’s what will happen. Once Iran produces atomic bombs, all the charms and all the smiles will suddenly disappear. They’ll just vanish. And it’s then that the ayatollahs will show their true face and unleash their aggressive fanaticism on the entire world.

There’s only one responsible course of action to address this threat. Iran’s nuclear military capabilities must be fully dismantled. (Applause.) Make no mistake: ISIS must be defeated. But to defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war. (Applause.) To defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war."

I believe these words may well constitute a final act of diplomatic preparation of the battlefield to come, as well as the distinct possibility that they have been spoken just prior to a military preemption of an indigenous Iranian nuclear weapon -- by Israel alone if necessary.  I say this even though I have believed for the past four years that the prophecy of Jeremiah 49:34-39 speaks to a coalition of nations being used as a sword by the Lord to bring judgment upon Iran. I still believe based upon the words of Jeremiah's prophecy that Iran will be struck from all directions of the compass in the removal of the foremost aspect of its growing military capabilities: nuclear weapons and the missiles intended to deliver them.
