COMMENTARY & OPINION
XCIII

WILL AMERICA REALLY GO TO BAT FOR THE UKRAINE?
OR IS THE UKRAINE A PAWN TO BE SACRIFICED FOR ENTRY INTO IRAN?

Now that Russia is bypassing Ukraine with the gas pipeline to Europe, the winter of 2014-2015 looks bleak indeed for the Ukraine.

And why should America concern themselves with the Ukraine?.They already got their gold (40 tons) at the outset of this CIA manufactured crisis.  So why be concerned with a poor country that only amounts to liabilities?  And what about the Neo Nazi stooges that were installed in top governmental positions?  Will they transfer to yet the next project of destabilization? Or will they also be sacrificed for the greater cause?

I have shown in past Commentaries that this coming war is  America's last.  The situational changes are about to come with such rapidity that the average person will in no way be able to comprehend it.  Try to envision a 9+ earthquake felt worldwide, more than one of the calderas of planet earth (such as Yellowstone and Canary Islands) blowing at the same time, California falling into the sea and a killer tsunami on our east coast all in the same day that the invasion is launched against America.  Sounds pretty wild --- huh?  But if you have done your homework in the books of Daniel, Habakkuk, Isaiah and Jeremiah, then this doesn't sound all that wild.  Revelation 18 says the judgment of the modern day Babylon, (which is America), will come, "…in one hour".

We are seeing (if we watch news other than ABC, CBS, FOXX and CNN), that our chief has to produce a war for the bankers very soon or be turned out of office in disgrace.  We see from prophecy that his being turned out of office in disgrace is not going to happen.  We are in the last days of this age and we need to be aware of that.  Not the end of the world --- that is religious superstition!  We can see in Eccliastes 1:4 that, "One generation passes away and another generation comes but the earth abides forever."

The Euphrates has already been dried up!  Is this the preparation for the "… kings of the east"?  Does it mean that the four angels have been released that are to kill 1/3 of earth inhabitants?  (See Revelation 9:14-15).  The mounting atrocities in the middle east would seem to indicate this.  The disease epidemics spreading across the world would seem to attest to this.  The ramping up of military exercises and the political standoffs would also seem to confirm this. 

Are we on the eve of the exodus from Babylon spoken of in Isaiah 52:10-12?  Are we about to witness the unfolding of Isaiah chapters 13 and 29?  It goes without saying that the world cannot continue as it is now for many more weeks.  America is broke!  Our children for many generations and our real estate have already been mortgaged to China for the money our Congress and our president have already spent. 

It appears that within weeks now the knell will be sounded on the New World Order envisioned by men (if we can call them men).  If we can believe the prophet Daniel, then it is not going to materialize.  And we will see this in the coming weeks as the Muslim reject the overtures of the Christian world dedicated to forming a new world religion the Pope proposes to call "Chrislam". 

I have tried to show readers that our current president was put into the oval office by the mega bucks of George Soros for the purpose of the destruction of America.  Soros got back the 4 billion $s allegedly spent on the campaign plus 100% interest in the way of a federal grant during the first term of our chief.  It would seem now that only fools fail to see the agenda of our federal government. But as I said, it is not going to give rise to the New World Order.  That is not in the cards!

When the killer tsunami hits our east coast, (Jeremiah 51:42), the U S will become another Fukushima disaster with a dozen nuclear power plants on our east coast in meltdown.  We will become a nuclear wastland!  It will not be occupied by Chinese, Russians or anyone else.  It will be uninhabited!  (Jeremiah 50:13). 

Have we any reference points for the calamities I'm saying are upon us?  No!  Did the people in Noah's day have reference points for what was about to befall them?  No!  If our rulers had advance notice of this cataclysm about to engulf the earth, would they share this information with the citizenry?  When we look at all the black ops money that has gone into D.U.M.B.s, (hidey-holes for top politicos), that question sounds rather naïve now doesn't it?  And in fact, I believe you can see the answer in the article "Arizona" in this Commentary. 

We are coming to a crossroads!  And I can't say it too often.  We are approaching the biggest military reversal in all of recorded history and it appears that it will happen this summer.

World Goes On “High Alert” After Arizona Quake Confirms Worst Fears

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

An ominous report prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) that is circulating in the Kremlin today states that confirmation has been received from China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) that the world’s largest ever military maritime exercises now underway in the Pacific Ocean have been ordered to their “highest alert” status after the 5.2 magnitude earthquake that hit Arizona hours ago was confirmed as being a part of the still expanding, and mysterious, North American magnetic anomaly.

Important to note, and as we had reported on in our 13 June report Russia Issues Grim Report On North American Magnetic Anomaly, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Lieutenant-General Viktor Bondarev then warned that a “catastrophic event” may be nearing for the North American region his forces had “electronically swept” for “magnetic anomalies” barely a fortnight ago stretching from Alaska to California.

Within 10-days of General Bondarev’s 13 June warning, this new GRU report says, a “precursor” to this potential “catastrophic event” did indeed occur in Alaska when this region was struck by a powerful 7.9 magnitude earthquake on 23 June and described by witnesses as lasting “several minutes” and was felt as a “steady shake and roll, shake and roll, shake and roll”.

Of graver concern, however, than the 23 June 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Alaska, this report continues, was the 5.2 magnitude earthquake occurring earlier today at 00:59:33 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) (9:59 PDT local time) that was centered about 50 km (31 miles) northwest of the city of Lordsburg, New Mexico, and felt some 240 km (150 miles) west in the city of Tucson, Arizona, and 480 km (300 miles) in Roswell, New Mexico.

Raising the grave concerns about the 5.2 magnitude Arizona earthquake, GRU experts in this report say, was its “well defined magnetic anomalous connection” with not only the 13 June 7.9 magnitude Alaska earthquake, but a series of other quakes occurring within a 5-hour time span immediately prior to and after it…which include:

The 2.5 earthquake occurring at Cape Yakataga, Alaska at 20:04:45 UTC that was quickly followed by the 4.2 earthquake less than a minute later at Mount Pleasant, Utah at 20:56:22 UTC, which in turn was followed by a 3.2 earthquake occurring in Bolinas, California striking less than an hour later at 21:51:34 UTC, which then was followed by the 3.0 earthquake that struck Mount Pleasant, Utah, less than an hour later at 22:08:26 UTC, with another 3.2 striking this exact same area less than 3 hours later at 00:52:46 UTC after which, 7-minutes later, the 5.2 Arizona earthquake occurred.

Following the 5.2 Arizona earthquake, this report continues, it was followed by a 3.5 magnitude aftershock a little over an hour later at 01:08:44 UTC, with the last earthquake occurring in this “anomalous magnetic hyper-sequence” (that stretched from Alaska to Utah, over to California, back to Utah, over to Arizona and then back to Alaska in this 5-hour period) the 3.0 earthquake that struck Middleton Island, Alaska, nearly 9-minutes later at 01:17:28 UTC. [Note: Check all locations and times HERE]

Important to note, and as General Bondarev had previously reported, Russian military information regarding these events was necessitated by a “severe mysterious magnetic anomaly” detected by the Kosmos 2473 satellite on 3 June occurring in the Yellowstone region of the Western United States which resulted in what is called an “earthquake swarm.”

Also to note about the 3 June Yellowstone “magnetic anomaly”, General Bondarev’s report stated, was that satellite measurements showed it being precipitated by the mysterious earthquake swarm hitting the Brooks Range Mountains in Alaska which seismologists are still at a loss to explain.

The information relating to the linking of these two “events” was further verified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) magnetic anomaly maps and data for North America showing a strange magnetic “disturbance/ripple” emanating from Brooks Range and ending at Yellowstone on 3 June, both of these areas, it is important to note, being part of the Rocky Mountains that stretch more than 4,830 km (3,000 miles) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.

Most critical to note, this GRU report says, are the reports being relayed to them by the MSS that appear to show that the Obama regime, and its allies, have an “acute awareness” regarding this potential “cataclysmic event” due to their sudden request to have Chinese Navy war ships participate in their annual Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercises.

The 2014 RIMPAC exercises is the largest international maritime event in modern history involving 55 vessels with more than 200 aircraft and some 25,000 personnel from 22 countries, and who earlier today went on their “highest alert”, this report says, a few hours after the 5.2 Arizona earthquake.

The “profound significance” of RIMPAC going into such a “high alert” status so soon into their 26-June to 1 August Pacific Ocean exercise, this report concludes, was its “mission objective” which, according to the MSS, is to “render all aid and assistance, and restore public order, to the American region that has just suffered a catastrophic natural event.”

To if there will, indeed, be such a cataclysm occurring it is, of course, not in our direct knowing.  What is in our knowing though is that it is ALWAYS best to be prepared should such a disaster strike.

[Ed. Note: Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth.  Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha Faal?”.]

Ramey comments:

We need to understand that Russia also has a propaganda department and Sorcha Faal is part of it.  However, when we compare the accuracy of it with the American news media (as I have done for the past several years), we find it considerably more accurate than what we get from the American media. 

It would seem the American media, licensed under the federal gov't, is committed to the same objective as the federal gov't, and that appears to be the destruction of America.  The next Commentary should make this abundantly clear. 


Russia Reveals "Plan B": Gazprom Says Gas Transit Via Ukraine May Be Stopped Completely

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2014 10:25 -0400

A few days ago, when we wrote our "explainer" on the need for Russia to have an alternative pathway for its gas, one which bypasses Ukraine entirely and as the current "South Stream" framework is set up, crosses the Black Sea and enters Bulgaria before passing Serbia and Hungary on the way to the Central European energy hub located in Baumgarten, Austria, we said that "one short month after Putin concluded the Holy Grail deal with Beijing, he not only managed to formalize his conquest of Europe's energy needs with yet another pipeline, one which completely bypasses Ukraine (for numerous reasons but mostly one: call it a Plan B), but scored a massive political victory by creating a fissure in the heart of the Eurozone, after Austria openly defied its European peers and sided with Putin."

Today we find just what said Plan B is.

As Itar-Tass reports, citing Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, "Russia’s gas giant Gazprom does not rule out gas transit via Ukraine may be stopped completely."

"What happened once is a tendency, nothing happens incidentally. In 2009, gas supplies were stopped completely — so, we know precedents,” Miller told a briefing on Friday.

Clearly, this is bad news for Ukraine: Gazprom not interested in participation in Ukraine’s gas transportation system (GTS), “train has departed”, CEO said.

The train has already departed. It seems it departed yesterday,” Miller said. “It belongs to no one. The GTS has no owner,” he said. “The GTS of Ukraine does not belong to Naftogaz but to the Ukrainian government. Before discussing things with someone regarding modernization and cooperation, it should appear on the balance sheet of this or that economic entity.”

“Property and legal issues should be resolved first,” Miller said.

In fact, the civil war torn country may soon lose all leverage it had with both Europe and Russia as a transit hub for natural gas, which also means that it is quite likely that Ukraine is about to be abandoned by its western allies who will no longer have any practical use for it.

The Gazprom chief added that “a dozen Ukrainian laws need to be changed to be able to do something with the GTS.”

Confirming that Ukraine's leverage at least with Russia is now effectively zero, Gazprom's CEO also said that “As for the continuation of negotiations with Ukraine, today there is no subject for talks. First, they must repay their debts."

“The gas price for Ukraine is fair - this price is fixed in the contract,” he stressed.

There have been no requests on the part of Ukraine’s national oil and gas company Naftogaz Ukrainy on a change of the transit deal with Russia, Alexei Miller said. Miller told journalists that it would be bad news if such requests had been received.

At least we now know what the Ukraine endgame will look like: as Russian transit through the country is completely cut off, the nation will lose all strategic importance first to Russia and then to Europe, which is still over-reliant on Russian gas, but which will increasingly turn its attention to the countries which the South Stream passes through.

And speaking of South Stream countries, there is increasing speculation that the main reason why none other than the poorest EU member country, Bulgaria, just suffered its worst bank run in 17 years, and one which has paved the way to early elections, is precisely that: to provide Europe with a government which will be more focused on Brussels' interests, instead of the current socialist regime, whose allegiance to the Kremlin is said to take precedence.

After all, now that Ukraine is yesterday's news, pay close attention to how Europe treats all the South Stream countries, starting with Bulgaria, and going through Serbia (read "Serbia could go bankrupt within a year and end up “in the position of Greece”, the country’s new prime minister has warned"), Hungary and of course, Austria.

Finally, and perhaps most notably, is last week's announcement by Gazprom CEO Miller that Gazprom has good chance, and is interested in discussing buying a stake in the Baumgarten gas hub (see more on why Austria is suddenly so important to both Russia and Europe here).

As Bloomberg reported previously, citing Miller, "The talks we had about South Stream also were a catalyst for the continuation of our talks about participating in the gas hub. We are interested and I think we can discuss a specific percentage of participation." The Russian gas producer and exporter discussed with OMV participating in gas trading in Baumgarten. Miller also added that work on South Stream link to Europe going on schedule, first deliveries to Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey; capacity to reach 63bcm by end 2017.

In other words, as Europe and the US remains still focused on Ukraine, the one place which now matters most for Europe's energy future is Austria: a country where Gazprom, and Putin of course, are quietly sowing the seeds of Russia's energy dominance tomorrow. As for the feeder countries, especially Bulgaria, pay close attention as the US "foreign service" does all it can to destabilize the local government and financial system as a last ditch attempt to wrest Russia's trump card out of its hand. Something tells us Putin will hardly let it go easily.



7/1/14
THE PRESIDENT GOES AWOL


Faced with ISIS terrorists rapidly overtaking Iraq; with illegal aliens, including thousands of children, streaming across the Rio Grande and into Texas; with an IRS besmirched by proof of unlawful discrimination against conservative groups and even Senator Charles Grassley; with Syria and the Ukraine falling apart in the absence of any coherent U.S. strategy; with a Veterans Administration that is a disgraceful basket case; with a Benghazi terror cover-up scandal that will not die; with EPA and the BLM the subject of severe rebuke for abuses and scandal; with his release of 5 hardened Al Qaeda terrorists in exchange for a soldier charged with desertion; and with Obamacare marginalizing health care and leaving broken his promise that if you like your health care plan you can keep it and if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, President Obama is doing, well, nothing.

The President has gone AWOL. He is largely cloistered in the White House and out of contact with Congress and out of touch with the American people. He is making few, if any, substantive decisions on the most pressing issues. He has burned all of the important bridges since 2008 and has no strong allies in Congress (none that trust him or can be counted upon to remain loyal to him). He is considered duplicitous not only by Republicans but also by leading Democrats. And, worst of all for Obama, he has, through indecision and a void of leadership, lost his mandate to govern. Some 53% of Americans disapprove of the President’s handling of his office and his popularity rating has dropped to 41%.

It is extraordinary that a President faced with so many scandals and threats to the nation would abandon leadership and resign through quietude fully two years before the end of his term, yet that is precisely what Obama is doing. It is difficult to discern precisely why he has chosen to abandon the duties of his office. Below I offer several independent plausible explanations for what may be driving (or, should I say, not driving) Obama:

1. He is a hedonist; he won re-election; and, like a spoiled brat, thinks he should let his presidential duties slide because he cannot get precisely what he wants from Congress;

2. He harbors a strong dislike for the nation, thinks the United States should abandon its super power roll and status, and withdraw from the world and from defense of U.S. interests around the globe;

3. He is like a deer in the headlights. He has been blindsided by the events taking place and is paralyzed by fear and indecision, incapable of making tough choices.

4. Without any major allies and surrounded by sycophants, he fears that any action he takes may bring about more rebuke than if he does nothing at all or responds only when Congress takes action first;

5. He is suffering from a physical or mental illness that is interfering with his cognitive functions.

I do not know which of these explanations account for his behavior, but I suspect that it is likely a combination of 1, 3 and 4 above. I do know that he has succeeded in nothing as president and has failed miserably in every important detail. He has imposed on the nation enormous debt, a vast expansion in enterprise killing regulation, the most corrupt, scandal ridden regime in American history, and a profound loss of respect for America all over the world.

June 27, 2014

It was a week ago when we learned that in yet another diplomatic masterstroke, Russia’s Vladimir Putin took advantage of the vacuum in relations between the US (which now wants its heretofore puppet prime minister in Iraq removed) and the Iraqi PM (who has been increasingly vocal against US allies in the region, namely Saudi Arabia, and US demands for a coalition government) and offered his “complete support” to the Iraqi leader. Yesterday the Iraqi leader has decided to take Putin up on his offer (especially since as we reported previously the Iraqi air force is currently made up of all of two “equipped” Cessna jets) and has announced he has bought used Russian jets which he will use instead of US fighter planes in his war against ISIS.

As BBC reports, citing Maliki, “Jets from Russia and Belarus will hopefully make a key difference in the fight against ISIS in Iraq.” He expressed regrets over Iraq’s contract with the US, saying their “jets are taking too long to arrive.”

“God willing within one week this force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists’ dens,” he told BBC Arabic.

Mr Maliki says Iraq has ordered Sukhoi fighter jets from Russia. In the meantime, the prime minister took another chance to poke the US in the eye, which despite sending “weaponized consultants” or whatever Obama calls troops and special CIA agents these days, has so far failed to deliver on its promised fighter jets to the civil war-torn country. Maliki criticized the process of purchasing US jets as “long-winded,” adding that the radicals could have been repelled if Iraq had proper air defense.

“I’ll be frank and say that we were deluded when we signed the contract [with the US],” Maliki said. “We should have sought to buy other jet fighters like British, French and Russian to secure the air cover for our forces; if we had air cover we would have averted what had happened,” he went on.

Maliki said Iraq bought second-hand jet fighters from Russia and Belarus “that should arrive in Iraq in two or three days.” He was speaking to the BBC’s Arabic service in his first interview for an international broadcaster since Isis – the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant – began its major offensive.

The prime minister also confirmed that Syrian forces had carried out air strikes against Islamist militants at a border crossing between Iraq and Syria. He said Iraq had not requested the strikes but that it “welcomed” them. “They carry out their strikes and we carry out ours and the final winners are our two countries,” he said.

Ironically, this also means that, at least optically, the US is now alligned with Russia as well as Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia in the “all against one” fight against ISIS which continued to consolidate its territory in Iraq and Syria.

What it really means is that Obama has asked, and is about to get $500 milllion more to arm ISIS and its al-Qaeda peers in Syria, which in turn the Iraq air force will now use Russian jets to bomb.

What is the definition of a proxy war again?
