I utilize an InJesus Group known as Prophecy Update frequently as a source of information. Prophecy Update searches for news around the world from secular and Christian sources and puts together a daily report which relates to End Times Prophecy and sends it out as an e-newsletter. As you might guess the focus tends to be the Middle East.
The Middle East for decades now has been growing as a region of Mohammedan hatred toward the West with America and Israel in its telescopes. I think America viewed Islamofascist terrorism as a pesky nuisance until 9/11. Then it became obvious that these Islamic radicals had the ability to exact global terrorism that affects the global economy in a negative way in the West.
Israel has had to deal with this threat from the very time of its modern inception in 1948 when surrounding Arab nations thought they would annihilate Jewish Israelis in a second Holocaust terminating a Jewish homeland before it could even get started.
Obviously the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had other ideas. The soundly outnumbered Israelis not only repulsed the 1948 invasion, but it has successfully repulsed several other invasions since 1948.
Now the rogue nations of Iran and Syria joined by transnational terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas have upped the stakes in the constant Mohammedan pursuit to destroy Israel. Iran is becoming a regional hegemon building nuclear plants with the capability of producing weapons grade uranium for nuclear weapons.
Have you looked at a Middle Eastern map lately? Israel is still a speck of water surrounded by an ocean of hostile Mohammedans. Weary Israel is currently dominated by a government that has fallen hook, line and sinker for the concept that giving up what little Land it has acquired from God ordained victories will result in peace. And yet Iran continues to pursue weapons grade uranium. With the talk of giving up land at least the Israeli government has no illusions what a nuclear armed Iran would mean to the existence of Israel.
With that in mind there has been talk of either an American or Israeli strike against Iranian nuclear facilities (or both) to slow down the manufacturing of weapons grade uranium.
So check out the first two articles from Prophecy Update. One is from the British Telegraph and the other is from Israel’s Haaretz. Both articles relate Iran is saber rattling that if ANY attempt to strike Iranian nuclear facilities occurs, Iran will blockade the Straits of Hormuz which 40% of the globe’s oil supply is shipped through.
So here is the Iranian tactic: 1) Stand by and assert that their nuclear program is peaceful (Yeah and I have a sand dune for sale real cheap); 2) Tell the UN, America and the EU that we all need to talk about it (stalling for time); or 3) Threaten America and Israel with a retribution that could affect the entire world’s economy and/or safety.
Most of the world appears to lean toward selling out Israel under the delusion an Islamic Agenda will stop in the Middle East; however Europe is already inundated with hostile Mohammedans that are giving every indication of overwhelming the continent with a Mohammedan birthrate.
Geez my fellow Westerners and Americans – WAKE-UP! The cancer of radical Islam has to be nipped in the bud even if it means a world war OR the West will it appease its way into subjugated dhimmitude.
I am not willing to replace my Liberty and Freedom with the despotism of Sharia Law and subservient dhimmitude. Are you?
Let us do that thing that Appeasers and Leftist fear. Let us dwell on the Iran issue vis-a-vie American National Interests.
Iran trains, supports and arms Hamas, Hezbollah and fellow rogue nation Syria. Iran supplies Shi’ite radicals in Iraq. Iran has aided insurgency in Afghanistan. Iran worst of all is developing weapons nuclear technology that only an idiot would believe will not turn into nuclear weapons.
These are serious acts of global intrusion that destabilizes the Middle East and consequently America and the global economy. Why? Because the life blood of multiple national economies is not the value of currency and national debts owned by whatever other nation. In this stage of the Earth’s history EVERYTHING is centered surrounding oil/petroleum.
Thus one of the greatest sources of global angst (or should be) is that rogue nations or nations dominated by fanatical theological nations. That place is the Middle East for the most part. Iran is the center of destabilization yet Wahhabi Islamofascist Theo-political thinking dominates the Big Dog Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is currently in America’s camp only because the Saudi leadership realizes that is a counterweight to Twelver Shi’ite Iran. That means Saudi Arabia is not a solid ally. The Saudi leadership has to play a Machiavellian political game between assuaging American Interests and placating the radical Wahhabi Theo-political ideology of mainstream Saudi citizens.
Given the correct catalyst Saudi Arabia could be the next national government in favor of a Wahhabi National Saudi revolution.
Iran was a solid American ally under the brutal Shah who alienated his people by attempting to Westernize Iran. President Carter abandoned the Shah when American support could have been used thus establishing the Iranian Revolution and the deposing of the Shah. Iran’s government switched from a repressive Shah operated government to an Islamofascist intolerant Mullahcracy.
This Mullahcracy is bent on spreading Mohammedanism as they view their prophet had done in the 600’s. Global destabilization is the goal because the Twelver Shi’ites believes this will bring global chaos. The onset of global chaos will bring the Lost Twelfth Imam – the Mahdi. The Mahdi will force the world into Mohammedanism or so the Twelvers believe.
So again let us consider Iran.
Another invasion would stretch the American Military a bit too much. Not to mention the Leftists might experience an aneurism or throw themselves into seizures over the audacity of protecting American National Interests from psychotic conquering wannabee Islamofascists.
Here is an interesting option that does not include invasion: Exact a military blockade on gas imports into Iran. I have learned from a Max Boot article in “contentions” that Iran does not have many refineries to accommodate their volumes of oil. Indeed the Iranian populace is currently rioting over gas shortages and gas prices in oil rich Iran. What an irony that is!
Messing with Islamofascist Iran’s economy its government may collapse upon itself ending the Mullahcracy government. America can fight destabilization with destabilization.
