A number of people
have brought the following
to my attention.

September 4, 2006
The extraordinary build-up of European naval and military strength in and
around Lebanon’s shores... is linked to the general anticipation of a
military clash between the United States and Israel, on one side, and Iran
and possibly Syria on the other, some time from now until November
This expectation has brought together the GREATEST sea and air armada Europe
has ever assembled at any point on earth since World War II:
two carriers with
75 fighter-bombers,
spy planes and helicopters on their decks;
15 warships of various types –
7 French,
5 Italian,
2-3 Green,
3-5 German,
5 American;
thousands of Marines –
French,
Italian and
German, as well as
1,800 US Marines.
It is improbably billed as support for a mere 7,000 European soldiers who
are deployed in Lebanon to prevent the dwindling Israeli force of 4-5,000
soldiers and some 15-16,000 Hizballah militiamen from coming to blows as
well as for humanitarian odd jobs.
....ten times as much as the UNIFIL contingents require as cover, ...(since)
UNIFIL’s duties are strictly non-combat....(and) none of the UN contingents
will be engaged in disarming Hizballah or blocking the flow of weapons
incoming from Syria and Iran.
[Focus your understanding
on the next paragraph].
...European participants feel the need of a strong naval presence in the
eastern Mediterranean to prevent a possible Iranian-US-Israeli war igniting
an Iranian long-range Shahab missile attack on Europe.
[There is some concern
whether Europe would side
with the US/Israel or Iran
but the command is supposedly under US control,
and I doubt that France is about to attack
the US fleet.]
[The following is a list
of the exceptional fleet
being provided.]
France’s nuclear-powered 38,000-ton
Charles De Gaulle carrier,
40 Rafale M fighter craft
whose range is 3,340 km and that
can take off at intervals of 30 seconds.
The ship also carries
three E-2C Hawkeye surveillance craft.
The combat control center
of the French carrier
can handle 2,000 simultaneous targets.
The carrier leads a task fore of 7 warships
carrying 2,800 French Marines.
The Charles De Gaulle is also
a floating logistics center
operating water desalination plants for 15,000 men
and enough food to feed an army for 90 days.
The USS Mount Whitney
has the most sophisticated command and control suite
in the world.
it exercises command over a task force of
1,800 sailors, Marines, Air force
medical and other personnel serving aboard
the USS Barry,
the USS Trenton,
HSV Swift and
USNS Kanawha
The fleet commander is
US Vice Admiral J. “Boomer” Stufflebeem,
formally titled
Commander of Joint Task Force Lebanon
...(He has) the uniquely advanced C41 command and intelligence system
through which he can flash intelligence data to every American commander at
any point between the eastern Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf and Iran.
The third carrier joining the other two is the:
Italian aircraft-helicopter carrier Garibaldi,
which has launch pads for vertical takeoff by
16 AV-8B Harrier fighter-bombers
18 Sikorsky SH-3D Seak King sea-choppers
Italian Agusta Bell AB212 helicopters
designed to attack submarines and missile ships.
The new European naval concentration ...
(is in ADDITION to forces)
permanently (in)
the eastern Mediterranean:
the Italian-based American Sixth Fleet,
some 15 small Israeli missile ships
half a dozen submarines and
the NATO fleet of:
Canadian,
British,
Dutch,
German,
Spanish,
Greek and
Turkish warships.
The British have permanent air and sea bases in Cyprus.
In fact -
were one to draw a map
showing the immensity
of forces -
that already exist
surrounding Iran
it would look like a bulls-eye
with all the arrows pointing
in one direction.
The following shows the Pentagon planning
that has been going on for three years.

I don't have a current update
but add to this the US
"Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations"
http://tinyurl.com/fosg8
that I have sent to you in recent months.
The latter has been withdrawn from the
government offerings to the public -
but is supposedly still the official doctrine.
This sudden new naval build-up
of many dozens of ships
and aircraft
re-enforces the broadly expressed opinion
from many sources internationally
that Israel / the US / or both
will attack Iran sometime
before the middle of October.
Since when Sharon's stroke
terminated the thrust
in January we have always spoken
of an "October Surprise".
My expectations of something in August
(connected with the International
Jerusalem Gay Pride Conference)
were more poetic than prophetic -
and I don't claim prophecy
about any of these events.
The expected event
(ignition of nuclear WW3)
could happen at anytime.
It need not hold off until October -
or happen that soon.
The expectations presented here
are really just possibilities
and probabilities
based upon surveillance
of current events.
Thousands of factors intervene -
because there are so many different players
that may interject some unexpected action.
Nature itself can play a prominent role -
and God plays the determining role.
We deal only in observations
and probabilities.
The sun will most likely rise tomorrow -
it is likely to be cold in Canada in December.
A storm is gathering in the Middle East
and all that weaponry is not being assembled
without purpose.
Such observations are not mine alone.
Indeed - what astounds me
are the number of similar observations
and expectations
for something to happen in early October -
that I see in the press from
China
Russia
the UK Times
and from around the world.
(Which I have sent you previously.)
Arms and Armada build-ups
of this immensity seldom occur
without something happening.
This is the largest of its kind
for Europe
since World War Two.
If I were a watchman
standing on the watchtower of a city
I would be calling out -
that mighty armies are gathering
on the hills surrounding the city.
Make of it -
what you will.
Peace and love,
Bruce
