COMMENTARY & OPINION

SPECIAL REPORT


Michael Snyder

January 29, 2015

Israel and Hezbollah are at war.  On top of everything else that is going on in the world, now we have a new war in the Middle East, and nobody is quite certain what is going to happen next.  Israel has been preparing for this moment for more than 8 years.  So has Hezbollah.  According to some reports, Hezbollah has amassed an arsenal of 50,000 rockets since the end of the Hezbollah-Israel war in 2006.  If all-out warfare does erupt, we could potentially see tens of thousands of missiles rain down into an area not too much larger than the state of New Jersey.  And of course the Israeli military is also much more sophisticated and much more powerful than it was back in 2006.  If cooler heads do not prevail, we could be on the verge of witnessing a very bloody war.  But right now nobody seems to be in the mood to back down.  Hezbollah is absolutely fuming over an airstrike earlier this month that killed six fighters and a prominent Iranian general.  And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel is “prepared to act powerfully on all fronts” in response to a Hezbollah ambush that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded seven.  Just such an incident is what sparked the war between the two sides back in 2006.  But this time, a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could spark a full-blown regional war.

Earlier this month, Israel launched a surprise assault against a group of Hezbollah fighters that Israel believed was planning to conduct terror attacks inside their borders.

But in addition to killing six Hezbollah fighters, a very important Iranian general was also killed.  Needless to say, Iran is furious

Iran has told the United States that Israel should expect consequences for an attack on the Syrian-controlled Golan Heights that killed an Iranian general, a senior official said on Tuesday.

Revolutionary Guards General Mohammad Ali Allahdadi died alongside six fighters from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group in the January 18 attack on forces supporting President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s civil war.

And we didn’t have to wait too long for a response.  An IDF convoy was hit by anti-tank missiles near the Lebanon border.  Two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven were wounded.  The following is how the Jerusalem Post described the attack.

The terrorists launched five or six anti-tank missiles from a distance of at least four kilometers from their targets, striking the vehicles as they drove two kilometers from the international border.

In the heavy Hezbollah ambush, a military D-Max vehicle containing a company commander and his driver from the Givati Brigade was the first vehicle hit.

This prompted all of those inside an IDF jeep behind it to quickly evacuate their vehicle before it, too, was hit and destroyed with missiles.

Just over an hour after that attack, mortar rounds struck an Israeli military position on Mt. Hermon.

In response to those strikes, the Israeli military hit back at Hezbollah positions on the other side of the Lebanese border…

Israel struck back with combined aerial and ground strikes on Hezbollah operational positions along the border, the military said.

At least 50 artillery shells were fired at the villages of Majidiyeh, Abbasiyeh and Kfar Chouba, according to Lebanese officials.

But Israel is probably not done.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising a “disproportionate” response to the Hezbollah attacks, and he says that Hezbollah should consider what Israel recently did to Hamas before taking any more aggressive action…

“To all those trying to challenge us on the northern border, I suggest looking at what happened here, not far from the city of Sderot, in the Gaza strip.  Hamas absorbed the hardest blow since it was founded last summer, and the IDF is ready to act with force on any front.”

If things continue to escalate, we might not just be talking about another Hezbollah-Israel war.

In the south, tensions between Israel and Hamas remain near all-time highs.  In the event of a full-blown war, Hamas probably could be easily convinced to join the fray.  And if Hamas jumps in, the rest of the Palestinians might not be far behind.

In addition, ISIS now has territory near the border with Israel

Because of the strategic importance of the terrain, Iran and Hezbollah have been building infrastructure there for some time.  But their interest in the Golan skyrocketed in December.

The reason: ISIS gained a foothold there when the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade of the Free Syrian Army “defected” from the de facto alliance with the U.S.-Arab coalition against Assad, and declared its allegiance to ISIS.  The Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade had been one of the most active rebel factions holding territory directly adjacent to the “area of separation” between Syria and Israel administered (in theory) by the UN.  In particular, it has held the southern line of confrontation with Syrian regime forces, in the transit corridor leading to the Quneitra border crossing.

Needless to say, ISIS would be extremely interested in any conflict with Israel.

And of course there are all of the other surrounding Islamic nations that are not too fond of Israel either.

The truth is that the Middle East is a perpetual tinderbox.  One spark could set the entire region on fire.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama continues to do all that he can to undermine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The animosity between the two is well known, and now an “Obama army” of political operatives has been sent to Israel to help defeat Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.

The “leader” of this “Obama army” is Jeremy Bird, who was the national field director for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.  But he has plenty of company.  Just check out the following list that was compiled by WND

—–

Besides Bird, the 270 Strategies team includes the following former Obama staffers:

  • Mitch Steward, a 270 Strategies founding partner who helped the Obama campaign build what the U.K. Guardian called “a historic ground operation that will provide the model for political campaigns in America and around the world for years to come.”

  • Mark Beatty, a founding partner who served as deputy battleground states director for the Obama campaign. He had primary responsibility for Obama’s election plans for the battleground states.

  • Marlon Marshall, a founding partner at 270 Strategies who joins the team after holding several key positions in national Democratic politics, most recently as deputy national field director for the 2012 Obama campaign.

  • Betsy Hoover, a founding partner who served as director of digital organizing on the Obama campaign.

  • Meg Ansara, who served as national regional director for Obama for America where she was responsible for overseeing the 2012 programs in the Midwest and southern states.

  • Bridget Halligan, who served as the engagement program manager on the digital team of the 2012 Obama campaign.

  • Kate Catherall, who served as Florida deputy field director for Obama’s re-election campaign.

  • Alex Lofton, who most recently served as the GOTV director of Cleveland, Ohio, for the 2012 Obama campaign.

  • Martha Patzer, the firm’s vice president who served as deputy email director at Obama for America.

  • Jesse Boateng, who served as the Florida voter registration director for Obama’s re-election campaign.

  • Ashley Bryant, who served most recently as the Ohio digital director for the 2012 Obama campaign.

  • Max Clermont, who formerly served as a regional field director in Florida for Obama’s re-election campaign.

  • Max Wood, who served as a deputy data director in Florida for the 2012 Obama campaign.

As the first month of 2015 wraps up, our world is becoming increasingly unstable.

Ramey comment:

One has to wonder why this army of individuals that have moved to Israel temporarily for their nefarious activities should not meet with unfortunate accidents similar to Michael Hastings.  Has Israel's leader not yet accepted the fact that he is at war with the oval office? Protocol takes a back seat when a country is at war.   


THE CIA IS NOT THE ONLY FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE THAT CAN KILL NATIONAL LEADERS WITH IMPUNITY

It appears that the CIA is yet another creation of the jesuits, as is America.  We have wondered in the past how the Mafia could always slip through the courts in America.  It begins to appear that they were the forerunners of the CIA.  They were the creators of the American court system which amounts to a system of "legislative piracy".   

But Americans are gullible --- and tolerant --- so we suffer the abuses and the robbery of our government.  And it has gone on for nigh onto 250 years.  But it is coming to a close as we can see if we can read and understand what the prophets have written for our day.  We can see it if we can understand the prophecy of "Malachi" given to the pope in the 12th century.  We can see it if we can understand that the present status quo is not a permanent situation.   

The world is coming to a crossroads which Catholics tend to see as the "end of the world".  Protestants, as daughters of the great whore of Revelation 17, tend to view the coming "Armageddon" the same way.  There is much that both refuse to understand but that will be corrected in the coming months and years.   

The world is just before undergoing the biggest change since the flood of Noah's day.  We get glimpses of this in the incoming celestial visitor some call Nibiru.  Our government has pulled all stops to pooh-pooh this event but this does not erase the three hundred thousand calculations done by Dr Robert Harrington on the perturbations of the orbits of planets in our solar system for the past one hundred years that are becoming more pronounced by the year.   It is still incoming despite the deafening silence by NASA.   

It's last trip into our solar system was some 3500 years ago and it was catastrophic.  You can get some of the details from the works of Immanuel Velikovsky.  You can get more details in the modern works of Zecharia Sitchin.    

Can we begin to see by Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 that these are the times we are living in?  When you look at what the prophets of old have said about these times --- is it any wonder that our government tries to hide the reality from us?  Is it surprising that they have built for themselves hidey-holes to escape to when all hell breaks loose?   

It is my understanding that there are 143 of these underground cities called D.U.M.B.s (Deep underground military bases) in the U.S.  I know someone quite well who has toured one of them as a prospective tenant.  These are capable of holding several million top politicos and money moguls and are being currently stocked with hundreds of truckloads of foodstuff and medical supplies.   

When martial law is declared (which is the first phase of the invasion of America), the politicos and money moguls will be in these hidey-holes and stocked for the long term. Isaiah 24:21-22 suggests they could be there for years before being brought out for trial for crimes against humanity.  Something I read recently about the meeting in Davos, Switzerland, indicated that the money moguls realize their wealth has been gained criminally and even those not granted a cubicle in the hidey-holes are looking for an escape route and a haven to weather the coming storm.  It appears a number of them are looking at New Zealand.   

We can continue to pretend that "You're OK and I'm OK" but the lid is about to blow big time on civilization as we know it and the signs are everywhere.  And it is more than just WW III --- it is the time when the "Strong hand from someplace" intervenes in the affairs of planet earth.  Our oval office occupant alluded to it being time to "Turn th' page" but one has to wonder if he has any comprehension of just how big this "Page turning" is going to be.   

The destabilization of governments around the world and attempted assassination recently of a world leader is small potatoes compared to what is on the drawing board for the coming months.  And we have been given an overview of events to come as I have shown you in the pages of these Commentaries.  You have seen nations that are to be obliterated, a nation to be destroyed and rebuilt and one that is to be evacuated and left a nuclear wilderness that is uninhabitable.  You have seen the identity of the end time Babylon and the identity of part of the "...assembly of great nations" that are to take down this Babylon and that it will be a very short battle primarily because of the sellout of its citizens by their "elected" representatives.   

You have seen that the middle east crisis is nearing resolution and that the real estate promised to Abraham is very close to being reapportioned and given to Israelite survivors as they come out of the great tribulation.   

Ah, but there is much to take place in order to bring about this transformation of the world.  We are to see events that will stretch our sanity to the breaking point.  The entire world is to witness yet another exodus, this time from "Babylon", and it will not be a repeat of the exodus from Egypt with some 3 million people extracted from a nation prior to its destruction.  We get a clue as to the size of the exodus from the Messiah's words quoted in the book of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 37:  "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."  Genesis 6 gives us a snapshot of those days.  

But since "...all the nations" will witness this event, (see Isaiah 52:10-12), it would seem it will be a military clash.  That's what gets the attention of nations in this era of time.   

It appears that this invasion from outer space will be heralded by the media as the invasion of the antichrist.  How else could they amass armies to go fight against this force that is rebuilding Jerusalem under a canopy of fire?  (See Isaiah 30-35).   

Much will be taking place in this three and one half year period.  It will be at that time that the final solution is administered to the ISIS crisis.  Christianity and Islam will be stamped out together thus resolving the middle east crisis.   

The time when all hell breaks loose is when Damascus is reduced to "...a ruinous heap" (Isaiah 17:1-4).  At that time things go into "Fast forward".  It appears that the earthquake of Revelation 6:12 will occur at that time opening the door for the killer tsunami of Jeremiah 51:42 followed by the invasion depicted in Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 50-51.   

The details are a bit gory and to get a feel for the scope of death and destruction we can go to Ezekiel 5.  To see who is going to die we can go to Ezekiel 18.  Fitting all the prophetic puzzle pieces together, it appears the Eternal's agenda for population reduction matches that of the new world order hopefuls --- the difference is those to be included in the reduction.   

And now we can see the other force in the universe that can bring down heads of state with impunity.  We find this in Daniel 11:45 and II Thessalonians 2:8.  At that time the whole world will "Turn th' page".  

 IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE  

Here is what happened on January 1, 2014 :   

Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%  Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to  39.6%   

Top Income payroll tax went from  37.4% to 52.2%  Capital Gains tax went from  15% to 28%   

Dividends tax went from 15% to  39.6%  Estate tax went from 0% to 55%   

Remember this fact: These taxes were all  passed only with democrat votes,  

no republicans voted for these  taxes.  

These taxes were all passed under  the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.  

If  you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know  this, pass it on. If not, then delete it.

Doctor: Obamacare medical meltdown under way

Warns America seeing 'shortages of critical drugs'

The new Republican Congress is unlikely to repeal the Affordable Care Act even after the GOP’s overwhelming victory in the 2014 midterms, with both medical and political experts agreeing that Americans must learn to live with Obamacare for a few years.

Many Republicans won their elections by criticizing the president’s expansive health-care scheme. But in reality, Obama would block any congressional attempt to rein it in, analysts say.

Dr. Lee Hieb, author of the explosive “Surviving the Medical Meltdown: Your Guide to Living Through the Disaster of Obamacare,” warned in an exclusive interview with WND that the consequences of the new law are already beginning to hit the American heartland.

“Just judging from my experiences in Iowa, we’re already seeing increasing shortages of critical drugs like Valium, which is needed to prevent seizures,” she said. “We’re running out of drugs to prevent tetanus infections in Arizona, and I’m even receiving reports about shortages of propofol, which is basically what is used to induce anesthesia during surgeries. And while things may be OK in the major metropolitan areas for a while, here in Iowa, the shortages and supply chain failures are already starting.”

Hieb’s personal experience is supported by reports from around the country of hospitals nationwide encountering shortages of critical drugs.

According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, or ASA, in the past five years “the United States has experienced shortages of an array of vital anesthetic drugs such as propofol, succinylcholine, even epinephrine.”

An ASA survey from 2012 shows more than 97 percent of anesthesiologists have experienced a shortage of at least one anesthetic drug.

And the reports have become more common, she said.

“When you make life difficult for providers, you negatively affect the entire process down the entire line. The Affordable Care Act imposes further regulatory and compliance burdens on both doctors and those who create medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. We’ve had these kinds of burdens for a long time, but Obamacare simply makes everything worse. It takes everything that’s been detracting from medical care and expands it.”

She said a requirement that details of every appointment be entered into “electric medical records” is sabotaging medical care.

Instead of doctors spending time with patients, they spend most of their time and effort in data entry. The records are then used by the government and insurance companies to ensure that patients are receiving what bureaucrats regard as the appropriate kinds of care. Doctors must follow this system to be paid.

The system especially hurts specialists, she said.

“Many specialists simply leave the profession either because they can no longer afford to practice or simply out of disgust,” she said.

Government and insurance company bureaucrats are not familiar with the patients and have no basis to determine what kind of treatment is required. The result is that doctors have more overhead and liability even as they are prevented from providing effective treatment.

Hieb said, “This electronic records requirement was the final nail in the coffin for me and pushed me to leave private practice.”

Obamacare strengthens such requirements and makes the government more involved in determining how medical care is to be provided. Other medical experts concur with Hieb that the Affordable Care Act is transforming the role of doctors from providers of medical care into “data entry clerks.”

In an interview by the medical industry publication Medscape, arheumatologist said: “Bureaucrats are telling us how to practice our profession, and they don’t have a clue about seeing patients on a daily basis. All the factors that made U.S. medicine the best in the world are now being destroyed.”

Little reason for hope from Congress

According to Hieb, “Obamacare is emptying out the heartland as far as medical care goes.”

The effects of the law are creating a political reaction as newly elected Republicans such as Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., report “a tide rising” against the Affordable Care Act from “all these angry people” forced to deal with the law.

But leading conservatives and political experts do not see much hope of a repeal or even a substantial rollback in the short term.

Renowned Republican strategist Richard Viguerie, author of the new book “Takeover: The 100-Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win It,” predicts that the new Republican Congress will disappoint conservatives by not repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Viguerie judges that many Republicans “don’t have the conviction or the political courage, and a total repeal is not something high on their priority list.”

“Though I think we can chip away at it and weaken it, I’m not optimistic that GOP leaders are really honest when they say repeal and replace,” he said. “They are not prepared to fight Obama in the way that is needed.”

Similarly, Eagle Forum Founder and President Phyllis Schlafly says, “Many Republicans ran against Obamacare, and repealing it is clearly the sentiment from the grassroots.”

However, Schlafly believes the “Boehner Congress has not been willing to put up much of a fight.”

Viguerie thinks Republicans can eventually win the war over Obamacare after a long struggle.

“We need to defeat more RINO (Republican In Name Only) Republicans in the House particularly and keep up the pressure. And we have to make sure we nominate a Republican for president that shares our views, not an establishment Republican like a Jeb Bush, a Chris Christie or a Mitt Romney. We have to get a president that commits to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

Viguerie notes that many Republicans come to Washington with the best of intentions but are eventually co-opted. However, “one of the things we have now is a network that can keep the pressure on and support those Republicans who decide to buck the leadership. We didn’t have that 10 years ago.”

Still, such hopes hinge on a unified Republican government, which is at least two years away, and on conservative victories in the Republican presidential primaries and a sweeping election win in the 2016 general election. In any case, Americans will have to live with Obamacare for some time.

Furthermore, conservatives still have to confront the political reality that Republicans receive much of their money from corporate lobbyists.

Viguerie goes so far as to say “Conservatives need to understand that their No. 1 opponent is not Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid or even Barack Obama.’

“It’s the Chamber of Commerce. Even the best of these young conservatives get 75 percent of their funding from K Street and corporate lobbyists,” he said.

When it comes to the Affordable Care Act, some of the biggest stakeholders donating to the Republican Party are insurance companies that enthusiastically support the new legislation.  

For that reason, Hieb is pessimistic even in the long term. She says wryly that a repeal would be proof that “the age of miracles is not yet over.” But she believes most voters won’t understand the implications of the Affordable Care Act until they personally experience the coming shortages and restricted care.

Ramey comment:

Obamacare is merely being revealed now as one more plank in the "Destroy America Platform".  If we pause to consider that he has less than two years to complete the task assigned by the U,N./CFR/ Vatican/bankers, then the ramp up in Obamacare which precipitates a drastic "ramp down" in medical services should come as no surprise.   

And my guess is that we can expect zilch from the republicans presumably because of some damning tapes gathered by NSA that could destroy, not only some careers, but probably the GOP as well.

THE FOLLOWING IS EXCERPTED FROM AND OMEGASHOCK.COM ARTICLE

Russian Military Superiority

And, when Russia DOES turn its sights on the US, this is how the US Army, Air Force and Navy will know that they are being attacked by Russia:

The first sign – failure of all means of communication, full discharging of batteries in vehicles, tanks and other equipment, at the same time, discharge of batteries in mobile phones, the targets, and radio stations. Then, there is a rupture of electric circuits throughout all the equipment – all of it. This is EMP. All engines stall, no way to restart. This is how the system “X” works (in order to protect the author we do not specify the name), with a range of up to 20 km.

Second – complete failure of all systems using LCD monitors, the failure of all target-locating devices of the air defense system. This is how the complex “Altair” works (this is a known complex in the world, we can name it).

Third – a failure to deploy any kinds of guided missile weapons – from MANPADS to PTURS [anti-tank guided reactive missile]. Upon launching, the ammunition liquidates itself.

Those are the words of an active duty officer in the Russian armed forces.

Did that send chills through you?

It should, because the American armed forces are NOT ready for directed EMP weapons. And, where such weapons exist as a part of front-line battle units, you can bet that they are standard throughout the Russian military.

More importantly, this indicates that EMP weapons are a part of Russia’s strategic doctrine. An EMP attack upon America would kill far more Americans in a far more awful way than a more ‘traditional’ nuclear war.

We Americans are going to lose World War III, if we cannot get our diabolical leadership in Washington D.C. to stop their mad games of empire.
