[Arktwo] Coming together

[Bruce Beach]

If you believe the newspapers -
the truce in Lebanon
is coming together.

Troops being assigned
left and right
from:
France
Italy
Finland
Germany
Indonesia

I am surprised Venezuela
isn't in that list.
Also Russia and China.
Certainly Iran and Syria
should want to join in.

As a matter of fact -
a headline on the Yahoo News page
at this moment
says:

Annan: Syria to enforce arms embargo

If this was one of those carnival
instant print newspapers
I would expect the next headline to be:

DawnSayer: Fox to guard hen house.

I won't try to explain
the second headline -
although it might be easier
than the first.
However -
as I said before -
if you aren't really following the story
then the MSM will have you thinking
the opposite of reality.

What really happened is this:
Annan, the Secretary General of the UN
went to Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Iran -
to try to get them to abide
by the terms of the UN Declaration.

The Prime Minister of Israel stood with Annan
and said that Israel would like
to negotiate a permanent treaty with Lebanon.

Lebanon responded that
they are the last Arab country
that would ever make a treaty with Israel.

Syria said that they would consider
the stationing of UN Peace Keepers
along the adjacent border in Lebanon -
as being an act of war.

Iran of course said that they weren't involved
and that most definitely
the US and Israel should negotiate
rather than taking any military action.

---------

What each told Annan privately was this:

Israel: That they wouldn't reduce
their sea and air blockade of Lebanon
until a strong and effective
UN force was in place.

Lebanon: That they would send their troops
to the border adjacent to Israel -
and to the border with Syria -
but that they wouldn't try to disarm Hezbollah.
However -
the President of Lebanon
would not stand up with Annan and say even that -
so Annan had to make that announcement
by himself
when leaving the country.

Syria: Told Annan that they would
'cooperate where possible with Lebanon'
to prevent any arms being sent
through Syria into Lebanon.
However -
the President of Syria
would not stand up with Annan and say even that -
so Annan had to make that above announcement
by himself
when leaving the country.

-----------
The reason that the presidents
of neither Lebanon nor Syria
would stand up with the Secretary General of the UN
and make these minimal announcements
is because neither of them want
to irritate the Muslim extremists
in their countries.

They both are on the verge
of being taken over by Hezbollah
or Hezbollah supporters -
so while they publicly or semi-publicly state
that the are supporters of the UN effort -
in speaking to Hezbollah
and most of the people in their countries
they say they are supporters of Hezbollah.

In fact -
Lebanon has said:
a. It will not disarm Hezbollah
b. It might join its army to Hezbollah
c. Or what is the same thing -
	merge Hezbollah into its army.

The bottom line for Lebanon is:
a. Hezbollah is not going to be disarmed.
b. Hezbollah is going to get additional arms -
	through Syria -
	and the UN observers will not stop that
	and may not even observe it well
	and report it.
c. Troops that are not particularly pro-Israel,
	indeed that are mostly anti-Israel,
	especially from Indonesia, Hezbollah, Lebanon -
	are going to be lining up
	on Lebanon's border with Israel.

Meanwhile -
down in the Gaza (and Palestine as a whole) -
all the same type of activity is going on
with Hamas.

Hamas, there, is exerting the major influence -
just as Hezbollah is in Lebanon.
Hamas, there, is continuing to increase its armaments.
Nothing new.

Europeans and others are now taking the line -
that Hezbollah and Hamas are not
really terrorist organizations -
and there is no real reason they should be disarmed.
They say that they are simply revolutionary
militant social organizations
that should be dealt with diplomatically.
Russia and China support that view in spades.

Considering Hezbollah and Hamas
as being simply revolutionary
militant social organizations
misses the point.
What they are is armed and funded
military extensions of the policy of foreign powers.
Specifically, Hezbollah is
funded, supplied, trained, commanded and controlled
by Shiite Iran,
and -
Hamas is
funded, supplied, trained, commanded and controlled
by Sunni elements in Saudi Arabia.

The stated policy -
of both Hezbollah and Hamas -
and THOSE THAT FUND THEM -
is the total elimination of Israel.

That realization is just as significant
and important to Israel
as understanding the term 'disassemble'
was to Johnny Five in Short Circuit.
Number Five was Alive -
but wouldn't have been for long -
any more than would be Israel -
if those who wish to disassemble it
are given their way.

Those who take a cavalier attitude
about this problem
are one or more of the following:
	a. Uninformed of the facts
	b. Desirous of the destruction of Israel
	c. Not living there and indifferent to the situation.

---------
As serious as may be the threat to Israel -
from Hezbollah and Hamas -
much greater is the threat
from Iran and the Bomb.

Two months ago -
the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice,
was saying that Iran was 10 years
from having the Bomb.
This week she is saying that -
the CIA says five years.
At that rate -
in another two months she will be saying two years -
and in another four months she will be saying one year -
and in six months she will be saying six months -
ooops -
it looks like we may be on a convergence.

Iran says -
that it is not building a bomb
and that all its intentions are peaceful.
And if Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
can convince you of that -
then Peter Pan should certainly have no trouble
in convincing you that you can fly.

----------
So -
the bottom line for Israel is:

a. Arms for Hezbollah are going to continue to grow.
b. In the Muslim countries
	surrounding Israel
	the advocacy for action against Israel
	in going to continue to mount.
c. Iran is going to progress in nuke development.
d. The US political support of Israel
	will become more indeterminate
	with the changing US political situation.
e. In Israel - dissatisfaction with the situation
	will continue to mount -
	creating an internal political crises.

In sum -
this creates a narrow window of time
for Israel's current administration
to reverse the above situations.
What course of action
you may think
they should take -
will depend upon your philosophy.

The alternatives - of course - are:
	a. to agree to Islamist demands
	b. to bomb Iran
	c. some course between those extremes.

Whatever you may think
Israel should do -
the issue is -
what they will do.
In that regards you may find
the following news items of interest.

These are as authoritative sources -
as one could possibly hope to quote.
They are world-wide
and of completely different political stripe.

If redundancy required it -
I could provide you with many more -
from Russia, European and Islamic countries -
all confirming the same information -
and conclusion.

Daniel 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote
over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's
palace:

So -
just how much more clearly
would you want
the handwriting on the wall
to be?

People often ask that I promise
to give them warning -
if I see some particular sign.
How much more warning do you want?

How much closer to the event -
do you wish to be warned?

If you knew for certain
and had a day's warning -
what would you do?

http://www.ki4u.com/guide.htm

If you knew for certain
and had a week's warning -
what would you do?

If you knew for certain
and had a month's warning -
what would you do?

If you knew for certain
and had two month's warning -
what would you do?

Every day I get emails -
"I am planning next year -
	a. to move out of the city
	b. to build a new house with a shelter
	c. to start a survival club
	d. whatever

What can I say.
In my paradigm I think it highly unlikely
that one has until next year -
and in fact I am more inclined to doubt
that one even has until next month.

Daily we expend our utmost effort in preparation.
How I wish that even a half dozen
capable individuals
would come and join us in this effort.
But each of you must make such preparation
as you will -
in the next days, weeks, months -
or how-so-ever you see the imminence of the threat.

Or the nature of the threat -
because so many, many people write to me -
"So what! It is over there -
and has nothing to do with us."

I despair of convincing others
of my paradigm
of what is coming together.

Peace and love,
