Russian Intervention in Syria Signals A Big Fight

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                       

                       Russian warships gather in the Mediterranean

Russia is sending several ships that will arrive in a few days in the Mediterranean to protect their interests in Syria.  Two Russian warships and a missile cruiser are coming to strengthen their fleet.  Russia is one of the big FIVE who would not vote for an  intervention attack against Syria since they are Syria's main backer.

In the meantime, talk is discussing back and forth about  a date for the USA to punish Assad and tell him he can't use chemicals while Britain has had second thoughts and is still bantering the matter in their parliament.  Actually, so is the USA, but Obama has already spoken and has said that the USA would take action even without the backing of allies or the UN.  What he had chastised Bush about, he  is now facing a very similar situation.

Obama has meetings in Sweden and Russia to attend.  He's leaving on Tuesday, so it is thought that something might happen before then.  Are we going to hit and then have our Commander in Chief leave when all fireworks can start?

If anyone attacks Syria, their promise is to attack Israel, who is prepared for that.  They of course will immediately answer an attack, and they have been trying to stay out of the Syrian devastation.   Syria's Civil War has been so close that some missiles had even landed in The Golan, which looks down on Syria.  When you live among lions, it's difficult at best to get into the middle of a roaring and fighting  pride.   Assad has threatened Israel with a deadly attack  from Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and what is left of their military and a surprise element of devastation.  What?  Atomic rockets from Iran?  More chemicals, no doubt.  Meanwhile, Assad has had time to leave Damascus and is safely hid out in Iran.

Israel is ready with gas masks for any surprise in Assad's retaliation against their tiny nation.  Psalms 108: 13-14 says it all.  "Give us help against the adversary:  for vain is the help of man.  Through G-d we shall do valiantly:  for He it is that will tread down our adversaries."   Israeli's warriors know they cannot run and hide anywhere.  They have nowhere to go.  This is a fight of the likes of the 300 Spartans,  only Israel feels they have help from their outer space guardian.

Thousands of Syrians have already fled to nearby Lebanon to get out of the way of the West's attack.  Not only did they have to worry about a crazed government with chemicals to use on them willy nilly, but now the West's answer to this use of chemicals which is not in the book of allowed war weapons.  The signal these people had of their eventual fate was in how their government treated the Jewish population in their country.  Confined on "Jew Street" and held as captives in a worse condition of any of the other dhimmis of the Middle East, the last remaining ones  were finally rescued by Israel in 1994.  As a country treats its Jewish population, so will the rest eventually wind up as the next scapegoat.  The Christians of Egypt have found that out already with the Muslim Brotherhood's first reprisal being their churches and people.

The Mediterranean will be full of Israeli, American, and Russian ships ready to fire missiles somewhere.  The British might be in the mix as well. At this point, the USA is not sure what the target is to be as the Syrians have been busy moving their arms to high ground surrounding Damascus.

Starting September 4th in the evening and going on into September 5th is the Birthday of the World, Rosh Hashanna, the start of a 10 day period of Jewish High Holidays ending with Yom Kippur, a day they were attacked on October 6, 1973 when everyone was in a synagogue asking for forgiveness from G-d of any sins they might be guilty of.  It is a day of fasting and is the most serious day of the year.  Unfortunately, the whole beginning of this  New Year is now colored with threats from a neighbor of all their lives once again.

On the sidelines of this stage are many Middle Easterners who are chomping on their bits at the thought of taking over Jerusalem.  I say that G-d has been on Israel's side through thick and thin for 65 years since May 14, 1948.  Israelis have been threatened when the odds were completely against them.  What makes the haters of Zionism  think that G-d's protection and direction has evaporated?  It is even miraculous that as a people Jews have continued to exist from the days when Judah, 4th son of  Jacob  and Leah, was born.  King David was from this tribe.  Of all the ancient people, it is only the Jews who have been able to survive, even with Hitler's determination to do Jews in.  The creation of their state once again has been prophesied to the amazement of all people. Just look into the "Old Testament.,"  It takes a lot more than plain luck to live that long in  a world  constantly against them.

Embassy Closures From 1,000 Terrorist Prison Breaks Abetted by al-Qaida

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                

                                                       Al-Qaida operations from Yemen

What's the harm going to be from terrorist killers, most with life sentences getting out of prison?  That's what has to happen to Israel before John Kerry can get Abbas to the peace table, and Netanyahu has had his arm twisted to go along with it.  As a result, most of Israel are up in arms about it.  Such an act is a huge threat on their life.

This morning we find out that many USA embassies have been closed today, possibly lasting for the whole month of August, because of a series of events which include the escape of over 1,000 terrorists from prison. This goes along with Interpol issuing a global alert yesterday asking for help in tracking down these escaped prisoners.
                                                                     
                                                          Yemen
Evidently there has been a wave of prison breaks this past 30 days or so in Iraq, Pakistan and Libya.  Interpol is wondering if they were coordinated or linked breakouts.
                               
Our USA State Department first had ordered almost 24 American embassies closed in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia  because al-Qaida or its affiliates in Yemen might be plotting attacks for today onward.  Britain, France and Germany are also following suit in Yemen.

The prison breaks occurred in late July which freed about 200 prisoners from 2 prisons in Iraq of which one was Abu Ghraib.  This is the prison in Baghdad where America was accused of torturing prisoners in order to get information.   Mortars were used by the prisoners' friends on the guarding Iraqi forces as well as suicide bombers who punched holes in the Iraqi defenses and then had an assault force that freed the terrorists.

About 2 days later, more than 1,000 terrorists escaped from a prison near (of all places), Benghazi, Libya, where we lost our American Ambassador to a terrorist attack.  Libya's prime minister thinks local residents are responsible for the jailbreak which is not what the security officials responsible thought.

Also, in Pakistan  the ancient Dera Ismail Khan prison which is outside of Pakistan's tribal belt, the prison compound was stormed by about 150 fighters who blew holes in the outside wall.  Some were disguised as police officers.  They had used megaphones to call names of prisoners they wanted to free and to chant "God is great" and Long live the Taliban," so we know who they were.   250 terrorists were freed.

Our State Department has issued a global warning of possible terror plots against any Western facilities in the world coming from al-Qaida or their  connected groups.  The Interpol has followed with their own alert.  We have found out that information was from electronic intercepts of senior al-Qaida operatives talking about their evil plots.  General Martin Dempsey has said that these are more specific pieces of information than has been procured in the past.

The ironic bit of all this is that President Barack Obama in a May speech had already assured the public that al-Qaida and its affiliate groups had been destroyed, taken out, eviscerated.   by our counter-terrorism operations.

What we have done in Yemen, where the center of terrorism is coming from is an "aggressive drone war which extends into Pakistan.  We've hit Yemen 3 times this past week.

Many terrorists freed in the past from Israel's prisons in bartering for peace have just gone back to their old habits and continue with their terrorist activities.  This is asking a lot from Israel who is such a small country of 8,000 square miles anyway.

 The terrorists freed by al-Qaida have the whole world in their line of fire for attacks with the USA in its sights for sure.  All travelers must be on guard and have their eyes open to anything strange, such as a suitcase standing alone in an airport.  Going to highly attended events could also be worrisome.  Transportation  of all kinds is threatened by such terrorists.

Meanwhile, Al-Qaida is a major player in Egypt's politics.  The terrorist leader, Ayman al-Zawahri,  who is all for the Muslim Brotherhod,   is pushing for armed resistance against Egypt's military.  He's against the Christian Coptics as well and accuses them of conspiring against Morsi because he was an Islamist.  He leaves out the fact that the Brotherhood has attacked and chased out all Jews and has now turned against the Christian community.  It's taken the death of about  280 people so far to remove Morsi, who has been the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.  There's likely to be a long hot month of civil disobedience in Cairo as well.

Getting back to John Kerry's peace talks,  a terrorist regime would require their compadres to be freed.  They see no harm in killing women and children and old people in their completely unreasonable delusions of "owning Israel" or all of "Palestine."  It's a delusion just like Ariel Castro's of Cleveland, Ohio, who kept 3 women in chains in his house who said on TV  yesterday that they were consenting adults and were sometimes even asking for sex and that he's innocent.  Israel is asked to do something very oppositional while the Palestinians haven't been asked to do a thing except to sit down and listen for 9 months.
