It is essential that people across America and around
the World take cognizance of the dangers of a Middle East war directed
against Iran and act decisively to challenge the US military agenda and
reverse the tide of war.
The World is at the crossroads of the most serious
crisis in modern history. The US has embarked on a military adventure,
"a long war", which threatens the future of humanity.
This article documents recent developments,
focusing on military deployment and preparations in the event of a US led war
on Iran. This text follows a number of earlier reports published by Global
Research pertaining to the War on Iran (See Iran
dossier, Nuclear
War dossier, Lebanon
dossier )
Background
The entire Middle East Central Asian region is on a war footing.
US-NATO naval deployment is
taking place in two distinct theaters: the Persian Gulf and the Eastern
Mediterranean. (See Mahdi
Darius Nazemroaya, October 2006).

The naval armada in the Persian Gulf is largely under US
command, with the participation of Canada. Both the USS Enterprise and
Eisenhower Strike groups have been dispatched to the Persian Gulf in a a
massive display of US military might.

The militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean (on land
and sea) is under the control of several NATO member countries including
France, Germany and Turkey. This military build-up is conducted under
the façade of a UN peace-keeping mission (UNIFIL) pursuant to UN
Security Council Resolution 1701.
In this context, the war on Lebanon must be viewed as a
stage of the broader US sponsored military road-map, which targets
Syria.
In September, Germany dispatched a fleet of eight ships including 2 frigates,
with up to 2,400 personnel aboard. The German navy will
be in charge of the multinational naval force, which has, under
its official UNIFIL mandate "to prevent arms shipments to Hezbollah".
The German naval force will operate out of the Cyprus port of Limassol,
located within less than 100 km.
from the Lebanon-Syria coastline. The Cyprus based
multinational naval force could eventually be used to encroach on maritime
trade with Syria.
In early October, Turkey dispatched several warships, which
will join the multinational naval force under German command. While Turkey is
formally part of the UN international force (UNIFIL), it is also a close
military ally of Israel. Greek, Bulgarian and Italian warships have also been
dispatched to the Lebanese coast.
France has dispatched armored vehicle and infantry units. (Chars Leclerc see
below).
The nature of the military equiipment and weapons systems being deployed has
little to do with "peace-keeping". Moreover,
NATO established a close military partnership with Israel in 2005, which
in practice binds NATO member countries involved in Lebanon to fully
cooperate with Israel.

The naval buildup has been
coordinated with the planned air attacks on Iran. The latter were outlined in
mid-2004, following the formulation of CONCEPT PLAN CONPLAN 8022 (early 2004).
The air attacks on Iran would involve a "shock and awe" blitzkrieg
on a scale similar to the 2003 air war on Iraq.
In November 2004, US Strategic Command conducted a major
exercise of a "global strike plan" entitled "Global
Lightening". The latter involved a simulated attack using both
conventional and nuclear weapons against a "fictitious enemy"
[Iran]. Following the "Global Lightening" exercise, US Strategic
Command declared an advanced state of readiness.
CONPLAN is the operational plan pursuant to the Global
Strike Plan. It is described as "an actual plan that the Navy and the Air
Force translate into strike package for their submarines and bombers,'
CONPLAN 8022 is 'the overall umbrella plan for sort of
the pre-planned strategic scenarios involving
nuclear weapons.'
'It's specifically focused on these new types of threats
-- Iran, North Korea --
proliferators and potentially terrorists too,' he said. 'There's nothing
that says that they can't use CONPLAN 8022 in limited scenarios against
Russian and Chinese targets.' (According to Hans Kristensen, of the
Nuclear Information Project, quoted in Japanese economic News Wire, op
cit)
The use of tactical nuclear weapons is contemplated under
CONPLAN 8022 alongside conventional weapons, as part of the Bush
administration's preemptive war doctrine. In May 2004, National
Security Presidential Directive NSPD
35 entitled Nuclear Weapons Deployment Authorization was issued. While its
contents remains classified, the presumption is that NSPD 35 pertains to the
deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in the Middle East war theater in
compliance with CONPLAN 8022.

Chossudovsky, Nuclear
War against Iran, January 2006, The
Dangers of a Middle East Nuclear War, February 2006, Is
the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust , February 2006)
War Preparations
Iran is in an advanced stage of readiness in the
eventuality of a US attack.
In response to the US-NATO sponsored military build-up,
Iran has conducted extensive war games throughout its territory. (See Mahdi
Darius Nazemroaya, 21 August 2006)

Iran War Games, August 2006.

Iran's Shahab-3 ballistic missile
Moreover, barely acknowledged by the Western media, both
China and Russia have conducted war games in Central Asia, in collaboration
with their coalition partners. In late September, Russia
conducted air war exercises over a large part of its territory,
extending from the Volga to the frontiers of Alaska and North America. These
war games prompted the scrambling of NORAD fighter planes.
Military exercises involving the participation of Russia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan under the Collective Security Treaty
Organization, (CSTO) were launched in August. These war games, officially
described as part of a " counter terrorism program", were held
barely a week before those conducted by the Iranian military. (See Michel
Chossudovsky, 24 August 2006)
Broadly coinciding with both the Iranian and CSTO military
exercises, China and Kazakhstan also conducted military exercises in August
under the auspices of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO). Iran is an observer member in the SCO.
(For Timeline of War Games see Table below)

Members of the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO). Observer States including Iran are indicated in Green
In late September, China and Tajikistan held a joint
military exercise, code-named "Cooperation-2006", according to a
memorandum of understanding signed between the two governments. Tajikistan has
a 500 km. border with Afghanistan. These war games directly address US-NATO
military presence in neighboring Afghanistan.
In early October, in the latest round of Central Asian war
games under CSTO auspices, joint Russian-Kyrgyz war exercises were held
(starting on October 2nd) at Russia's Kant airbase located some 30 km. from
the Kyrgyz capital. Officially described as an "anti-terror drill",
these high profile exercises involved the deployment of Russian and Kyrgyz
special forces units. Russia's top brass and defense minister Sergei Ivanov
were in attendance for the launching of the event:
"About 350 servicemen from special forces units,
combat vehicles, artillery, Su-25 Frogfoot ground support aircraft and Mi-8
Hip multipurpose helicopters are participating in the active phase of the
maneuvers, which include the firing of live ammunition at the Osh practice
range.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, who is currently
on a visit to the Central Asian state, Kyrgyzstan Prime Minister Felix Kulov
and Defense Minister Ismail Isakov are attending the exercises.
Russia and Kyrgyzstan are both members of the Collective
Security Treaty Organization, a post-Soviet security grouping that also
includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. They are also in the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional security body in Central Asia
that includes China, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan." (Novosti
5 0ctober 2006)

Meanwhile, in late September, Russia also conducted
military exercises in Dagestan, involving the 136th Brigade. The exercise held
at the Buynakskiy training ground involved an unnamed "foreign
State" which was attacking Russia. According to one Russian press
report: "Given the scale [of the simulated enemy attack], this can
be compared with WWII. The [unnamed] enemy is artful, well armed and well
trained."
Also in early October, Belarus and Russia announced that
they will be hold training sessions for the two countries' command and control
bodies, with a view to coordinating their military activities. (Belarus TV,
October 1, 2006)
Consistent Pattern
The overall significance of these military drills must be
assessed in relation to the sequence of Russian, Chinese and Iran war
exercises conducted since late August.
There is a consistent pattern. These war games are not
isolated events. They are part of a carefully coordinated endeavor, in
response to the US-NATO military build-up. They should also be
considered as acts of deterrence, intended to display
military capabilities to deter military action by US led coaltion.
The issue of war preparation has been carefully avoided by
the Western media. The sequence and interrelationship between these war games
is not mentioned.
While the war exercises are casually acknowledged in
separate wire service reports, the Western media fails to address the broader
implications of these military exercises.
Military Alliances
The SCO and CSTO war games must also be examined in
relation to the structure of military alliances. Both China and Russia are
allies of Iran, involved in extensive military cooperation agreements.
China and Russia are major actors in Central Asian oil.
They have significant strategic and economic interests in the Central Asian
region and the Caspian sea basin. They also have economic cooperation
agreements with Iran's State oil company.
US Sponsored Military Build-Up
The Cold War although officially over has not quite reached
its climax.
The US military agenda is not limited to gaining control
over Iran's oil and gas reserves, (using the "campaign against
international terrorism" as a pretext). Reminiscent of the Cold war
era, the objective of US military intervention also consists in weakening and
ultimately displacing China and Russia from playing a significant role in
Central Asia.

Knowledge about the Noahide plan for the earth, after the working of Satan,
that Old devil the Dragon of the beast Sanhedrin
Most Western press reports have failed to acknowledge the
seriousness of the US-NATO- Israeli military build-up. Underlying what is
normally understood as a Middle East war, the conflict could evolve towards a
clash between former competing super powers of the Cold War era.
Directed against Iran and Syria, the US sponsored military
operation, if it were to be launched, could result in a
broader conflict marked by the indirect involvement of Russia and China and
their central Asian allies. In fact that indirect involvement is
already established through Iran's observer status to the SCO, various
bilateral military cooperation agreements as well as the sale of Chinese and
Russian weapons systems to Iran.
The US is involved in covert operations throughout
Central Asia with a view to essentially displacing Russia. The
tensions in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are the direct result of US
geopolitical encroachments within what used to be within Moscow's
traditional sphere of influence. Georgia and Azerbaijan
have become de facto US protectorates.
In the recent showdown between Russia and Georgia,
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili "pledged to continue
Georgia's efforts to join NATO as well as secure the speedy withdrawal of
Russian forces from Georgian territory.
Moscow responded by putting Russian forces inside
Georgia on high alert, following the accusation by Tbilisi that Russian
military officers inside Georgia were involved in spying. The
withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia opens the way for the stationing of
NATO forces, which are already present in neighbouring Azerbaijan.
Meanwhile, in relation to the issue of NATO enlargement,
Moscow warned the Atlantic Alliance in early October that it would take
"appropriate measures" if Poland were to deploy "elements of
the missile defense systems of the United States or NATO on its
territory", (Interfax News Agency, 4 Oct 2006)
“We continue to treat these plans critically. Our
opinion is that [these plans] along with the possible deployment of NATO’s
European missile defense system can produce a negative effect on strategic
stability, security in the region and relations between the states,”
Kamynin said. “A new situation like this one will objectively require us
to take appropriate measures because we cannot rely in such matters solely
on statements that the missile defense systems of the U.S. and NATO in
Europe ’are not aimed’ against Russia,” the official added."(Ibid)
Known and documented, China is also supporting Iran in the
development of its air defense system. Moreover, according to a report
in the Daily Telegraph (5 October 2006), Washington has acknowledged that
China has been involved in
"secretly fired powerful laser weapons designed to
disable American spy satellites by "blinding" their sensitive
surveillance devices, it was reported yesterday.
The hitherto unreported attacks have been kept secret by
the Bush administration for fear that it would damage attempts to co-opt
China in diplomatic offensives against North Korea and Iran.
Sources told the military affairs publication Defense
News that there had been a fierce internal battle within Washington over
whether to make the attacks public. In the end, the Pentagon's annual
assessment of the growing Chinese military build-up barely mentioned the
threat. (Daily Telegraph, 5 October 2006)
"Cold War Shivers"
In addition to the various CSTO and SCO war games carried
out in Central Asia in the course of the last two months, Russia's air force
also conducted a major military exercise in late September, which extended
over a large part of its territory, from the Volga to the Alaskan border,
extending from the Volga military District to the Far East Military District
(see map below). The war drill involved the dropping of bombs as well as
missile launches against an unnamed "notional enemy":
Long before dawn, more than ten Tu-160 and Tu-95 cruise
missile carriers of the long-range aviation regiment based in [the town of]
Engels set course for Russia's northern borders. The aircraft were on the
mission to reach the Arctic Ocean and launch several practice cruise
missiles at the Khalmer-Yu range near Vorkuta. This was the last training
sortie from a military airfield near Saratov. Bombs were dropped and
missiles fired throughout almost the entire Northern hemisphere.
(...)
[Correspondent] One of the most important and most
difficult phases of the exercise involved bomb dropping at the Guryanovo
training range in Saratov Region. Eight Tu-22 strategic bombers were tasked
with destroying an airfield of the notional enemy. Even from the command
centre 10 km away, the explosions made by 250-kg bombs appeared to be
enormous. (Transcript of Russian TV Report, Channel One TV, Moscow, Russian
0600 GMT 30 September 2006)

Russia's TU-22 Strategic bomber
In a scenario reminiscent of the Cold War era, US and
Canadian fighter aircraft intercepted Russian Tu-160 planes off the Alaska
coastline:
U.S. and Canadian fighter aircraft intercepted Russian
planes off the Alaska coast, but it was not considered a hostile incident,
the North American Aerospace Defense Command said on Friday.
NORAD said the aircraft never violated U.S. or Canadian
airspace... But fighters were launched because the Russians had entered a
zone around North America in which NORAD considers uninvited aircraft to be
potential threatening.
The Tu-95 Bear heavy bombers had been participating in an
annual Russian air force exercise near the coast of Alaska and Canada, NORAD
said. It did not specify how many Russian planes were involved. (Reuters, 2
October 2006)

Both Russian and Western press reports dismissed these
major air exercises as routine, without examining the broader framework and
sequence of Russian sponsored war games
A NORAD spokesperson stated that while they did not
consider the Russian war games as "hostile", they, nonetheless
wanted the Russians to know that "NORAD is alive and well":

"This wasn't treated as a hostile. It was just being
vigilant and letting them know that NORAD is alive and well," said
Canadian Air Force Capt. Jennifer Faubert, a spokeswoman for NORAD's
Canadian Region. (Reuters, 2 October 2006)

Beyond the scope of a Middle East war, the broader US
military agenda, which includes the strategic defense initiative, threatens
global security. The various war games conducted by Iran, Russia and
China are not only intended to prepare for war, they are also a demonstration
of military capabilities to a potential aggressor. They are also intended to
act as a deterrent.
This has zero to do with conflict,
but a carefully planned WAR, prepared by the Prophets of Baa'l, unto the
Dragon to enslave All mankind, to have man submit to Satan and his temporary
little flesh kingdom of his self exalted gods of the Talmud Bavli
Reversing the Tide of War
The World is at the crossroads of the most serious crisis
in modern history. The US has embarked on a military adventure, "a
long war", which threatens the future of humanity.
A Talmudic Neo-Con Long War of Satan
This article has attempted to document the various
preparations for war.
While there a number of factors which may prevent this war
from occurring, including divisions within the US adminstration and
military, behind the scenes negotiations with China, Russia, Iran,
etc., the risk of an extended Middle East -Central Asian war must be
forcefully addressed.
The devastation and loss of life which could result from this proposed
military agenda would be incalculable, particularly if the conflict escalates
to the broader region.
The possible use of tactical nuclear weapons by the US,
ironically in retaliation for Iran's non-compliance to suspend uranium
enrichment (in its civilian nuclear energy program) raises the specter of a a
nuclear nightmare.
The economic disruptions resulting from a broader Middle
East war would not be limited to spiraling oil prices, following a blockade of
the Straits of Hormuz.
The energy crisis would immediately backlash on freight prices and costs
of production in virtually all sectors of economic activity. It would also
contribute to disrupting financial markets Worldwide.
Moreover, if China were to become involved in the conflict, the large
scale commodity trade in manufactured products out of China, which supplies
Western markets with vast array of consumer goods, would be
disrupted.
The issue is not whether the war will or will not take place but what are the
instruments at our disposal which will enable us to shunt and ultimately
disarm this global military agenda.
In the weeks and months ahead, it is essential that
citizens' movements around the world act consistently to confront their
respective governments and reverse and dismantle this military agenda.
It is irreversible, for "IT is
Written"
Dismantling the network of war propaganda is essential.
This war can not be conducted without the support of the corporate media,
which ultimately upholds the US led war against Iran.
What is needed is to break the conspiracy of silence,
expose the media lies and distortions, confront the criminal
nature of the US Administration and of those governments which support it, its
war agenda as well as its so-called "Homeland Security agenda" which
has already defined the contours of a police State.
It is essential to bring the US war project to the
forefront of political debate, particularly in North America and Western
Europe. Political and military leaders who are opposed to the war must take a
firm stance, from within their respective institutions. Citizens must take a
stance individually and collectively against war.
Every Political person is already
purchased, whether Demoncrat or repuppet-ken. The Amarakan apostates have
believed the Lies, for God has sent them strong delusion, they serve their
"Chosen" Master Race of jewry.
War criminals occupy positions of authority. The
citizenry is galvanized into supporting the rulers, who are "committed to
their safety and well-being". Through media disinformation, war is given
a humanitarian mandate.
By Noahide Peace they shall destroy
wonderfully
The legitimacy of the war must be addressed. Antiwar
sentiment alone does not disarm a military agenda. High ranking officials of
the Bush administration, members of the military and the US Congress have been
granted the authority to uphold an illegal war.

The corporate backers and sponsors of war and war crimes must also be targeted
including the oil companies, the defense contractors, the financial
institutions and the corporate media, which has become an integral part of the
war propaganda machine.
1. The role of media disinformation in sustaining the
military agenda is crucial.
We will not succeed in our endeavors unless the propaganda apparatus is
weakened and eventually dismantled. It is essential to inform our
fellow citizens on the causes and consequences of the US-led war, not to
mention the extensive war crimes and atrocities which are routinely obfuscated
by the media. This is no easy task. It requires an effective
counter-propaganda program which refutes mainstream media assertions.
see Noahide News
It is essential that the relevant information and analysis reaches the broader
public. The Western media is controlled by a handful of powerful
business syndicates. The media conglomerates which control network TV and
the printed press must be challenged through cohesive actions which reveal the
lies and falsehoods.
2. There is opposition within the political establishment in the US as
well as within the ranks of the Armed Forces.
While this opposition does not necessarily question to overall direction of US
foreign policy, it is firmly opposed to military adventurism, including the
use of nuclear weapons. These voices within the institutions of the State, the
Military and the business establishment are important because they can be
usefully channeled to discredit and ultimately dismantle the "war on
terrorism" consensus. The broadest possible alliance of political
and social forces is, therefore, required to prevent a military adventure
which in a very real sense threatens the future of
humanity.
3. The structure of military alliances must be
addressed. A timely shift in military alliances could potentially
reverse the course of history.
Whereas France and Germany are broadly supportive of the US led war, there are
strong voices in both countries as well as within the European Union, which
firmly oppose the US led military agenda, both at the grassroots level as well
within the political system itself.
It is essential that the commitments made by European heads of government
and heads of State to Washington be cancelled or nullified, through
pressure exerted at the appropriate political levels. This applies, in
particular, to the unbending support of the Bush administration, expressed by
President Jacques Chirac and Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The Noahide Law, HJR 104, PL 102-14
of the anti-Christ Sanhedrin have already undermined the
constitution, too late, for the Amarakan apostate masses wanted their
bloodlust, now they have it, upon themselves
The weakening of the system of alliances which commits Western Europe to
supporting the Anglo-American military axis, could indeed contribute to
reversing the tide. Washington would hesitate to wage a war on Iran
without the support of France and Germany.
ALL the kings of the earth are
drunken by the whore's cup of Iniquity
4. The holding of large antiwar rallies is important and
essential. But in will not in itself reverse the tide of war unless it is
accompanied by the development of a cohesive antiwar network.
What is required is a grass roots antiwar network, a mass movement at national
and international levels, which challenges the legitimacy of the main military
and political actors, as well as their corporate sponsors, and which would
ultimately be instrumental in unseating those who rule in our name. The
construction of this type of network will take time to develop. Initially, it
should focus on developing an antiwar stance within existing citizens'
organizations (e.g. trade unions, community organizations, professional
regroupings, student federations, municipal councils, etc.).
a proposed sham fight of empty
eloquence a lapdog, yap yap yapping at the Elephant of the Protocols of
satan's Illuminated hassidim
5. 9/11 plays a crucial and central role in the propaganda
campaign.
The threat of an Al Qaeda "Attack on America" is being used
profusely by the Bush administration and its indefectible British ally to
galvanize public opinion in support of a global military agenda.
Known and documented, the "Islamic terror network" is a creation of
the US intelligence apparatus. Several of the terror alerts were based on fake
intelligence as revealed in the recent foiled
"liquid bomb attack". There is evidence that the several of
the terrorist "mass casualty events" which have resulted in civilian
casualties were triggered by the military and/or intelligence services. (e.g Bali
2002).
The "war on terrorism" is bogus. The 911 narrative as conveyed by
the 911 Commission report is fabricated. The Bush administration is involved
in acts of cover-up and complicity at the highest levels of government.
Revealing the lies behind 911 would serve to undermine the legitimacy of
the "war on terrorism" which constitutes the main justification for
waging war in the Middle East.
Without 911, the war criminals in high office do not have a leg to stand on.
The entire national security construct collapses like a deck of cards.
"If the
people were to ever find out what we have done, we would be chased down the
streets and lynched." President George H.W. Bush, quoted by
Sarah McClendon

Reporter) in her June 1992 Newsletter.
