The American Presidential election is over, the Sudan raid a few weeks ago seems to have been carried out successfully, so now Israel has this week turned to Hamas. As I write, both sides are firing rockets at each other and Israel (through its usual high-grade intelligence gathering) has eliminated a top Hamas military leader in bordering Gaza. In response, Hamas has spoken of 'opening the gates to hell'.

These should be seen as part of an overall plan or package and not simply random events. When Israel starts its attack on Iran, the last thing it wants is too much activity in response from its neighbours. So weaken the most likely to be troublesome first, so you can then focus most of your attention on your real enemy - Iran. Egypt will, of course, make all the necessary protests and complaints, but is unlikely to be drawn into an armed response. Syria has too much on its plate already and Jordan will, if reluctantly, have to sit by and watch.

The unknown (and perhaps the most worrying aspect) is whether Israel itself would contemplate using nuclear warheads to accomplish the task of destroying Iran's nuclear capability. If intelligence reports are to be believed, Iran has protected much of its nuclear development so well that conventional weapons would be unable to inflict much damage. You therefore have to get inside the installations with Special Forces - very difficult and risky - or use the most powerful aerial delivered missiles and bombs that have ever existed!

For those of you interested in such things, the attacks on Hamas coincided with an eclipse. In the coming weeks and months, be prepared for things to get worse rather than better.
   

The countdown has begun

In just a few days, we should know the outcome of the US Presidential election - or maybe not! Some of the polls say it is too close to call, others predict a victory for Obama; but not necessarily the Democrats. The astrologers, on balance, also think it is more likely to be Obama; then remind their readers that Mercury (the planet of communication) will begin its retrograde cycle at this time. This could produce delays or an inconclusive outcome, as it did with the election of George W Bush.

Back in August on this blog, I wrote that I did not think Israel would undertake a major strike against Iran's nuclear facilities until after the election, or possibly into 2013. This was despite many people thinking such action was imminent. Well, that impediment is almost out of the way. Romney would almost certainly support it and Obama, I suspect, would remain as neutral as it is possible to be.

My understanding is that Israeli representatives have already spoken with both 'camps', without openly admitting the date they have pencilled in. What we do know, is that a couple of weeks ago the Israeli airforce had a 'trial run' against a missile-making factory in Sudan that supplies Iran. As well as inflicting significant damage, they also proved their capabilities in electronically jamming radar and air air defence systems; critical for any attack on Iran.

Love it or loathe it, you know that Israel is never going to turn the other cheek when it feels threatened. Because they are so reliant upon US dollars, they have had to accept (reluctantly) some constraints; in this case waiting until after the election. Then, they will do what they want to do.

If you thought 2012 was a 'difficult' year, just wait for 2013. If you have already read Alpha to Omega, you will know my take on it.

Daily Mail & Alpha to Omega

Those of you who have read Alpha to Omega and/or some of my earlier posts, may find the article 'The Armageddon Virus' on today's Daily Mail interesting.
As I have said before, fact and fiction are closely interwoven in Alpha to Omega.
Sleep well!

Dominating & controlling personalities

In my last post, I referred to the politician Roy Bastable in Alpha to Omega. Events during the past week reminded me of him yet again. Let me quote a short extract, for starters:
'Are you deaf, man? Do you not understand the English language? Or are you one of those people who have trouble taking orders from your superiors?' Bastable was now performing to his true character. Gone were the days when it had to be subjugated as he weaved his way towards the top. He was there now and oiks like Aitken would be treated as they deserved.

We have seen or heard about a number of celebrities whose prominence and dominant personalities have protected them from the truth. People who became virtually untouchable.
Lance Armstrong: serial drugs cheat at the top of professional cycling who threatened his own team-mates to go along with the doping or lose their place on the team. And those who didn't, did!
(Sir) Jimmy Saville: DJ and celebrity fundraiser, who boasted he was untouchable and threatened  to stop raising funds for charity if anyone suggested he molested children. He now turns out to have been a long-term paedophile, whose 'charitable works' were almost certainly a cover to give him uncontolled access to young people and vulnerable adults. Other well-known celebrities have been implicated; some already named, some still to be named.

Whatever the 'crime', the need to dominate and control is a central issue. Those of you who can cast your mind back 15-20 years may recall a fraudster called Robert Maxwell: once a Labour MP, then a media 'mogul'. Maxwell had a vast ego. The problem was that his empire was built on sand. Make such a comment, however, and every threat imaginable would emerge. He was a thug and a bully who got away with it for decades, until even he realised the game was up and apparently fell off his yacht. A more likely scenario, however, was that one of the intelligence agencies helped him over the side; for fear that impending legal action against him would reveal too many secrets.

As I have commented previously, we are in a period when such revelations and changes to our world will become more and more evident.

Alpha to Omega and politicians.

When I created the politician Roy Bastable in Alpha to Omega, I wondered if I had simply produced a caricature; an individual invested with those characteristics disliked by most of us. Newspaper articles in the past ten days concerning three UK politicians have made me revisit my character. For those of you who have not read Alpha to Omega or perhaps forgotten this particular individual, I offer the following short extracts:

From the moment he (Roy Bastable) uttered his first sentence, I disliked him. It was subjective and unreasonable but I couldn't help it. He was opinionated and arrogant.

Roy Bastable charmed and schemed his way up the greasy pole of politics. From an early age he had been convinced of his own superiority and prepared for his greatness.

On a couple of occasions, his mask of friendliness and tolerance had slipped in public; but he was quick to spot both errors and immediately set about repairing any possible damage. At such delicate moments, whether at public or private gatherings, he often resorted to an expansive "I'm joking" sort of laugh. Although totally contrived, he invariably employed it to good effect. In truth, he was not an "I'm joking" sort of person.

My particular eye-catching politicians are Andrew Mitchell, David Laws and Tony Blair. As they are from three different political parties, I can hardly be accused of bias!

Mitchell is the Tory who referred to some on-duty policemen as "f...ing plebs" and then made various threats; he says he didn't use these words that were reported, the policeman's notebook record says he did. So one of them is lying and should be severely disciplined.

David Laws is the LibDem who fiddled his expenses and criticised others for doing the same thing - and was then found out. Having been a Cabinet minister he was forced to resign but, surprise surprise, is now back as an education minister. Great role model! He also seems to have officially forgotten quite a lot about his family, including that he has an adopted brother and sister. 

Tony Blair, apparently, having resigned as Prime Minister a few years ago to go off and earn zillions of pounds working for all manner of people and regimes, now sees himself as the next President of the European Union. This is the man who has felt "the hand of history on his shoulder" and who has said words to the effect that he can only be judged by God for his actions. He is a man who seems to be obsessed with his own morality and political importance. Some, however, might liken his desire to be President of the EU to volunteering to be captain of the Titanic.

Maybe, after all, Roy Bastable is not a caricature. Maybe, when compared to real politicians, he's quite a good bloke!

Mitt Romney echoes Alpha to Omega

It seems that the Republican nominee for President has been more than a little candid in recent days; expressing his views on a range of what are deemed controversial subjects. His first mistake, however, was assuming that they would not be repeated or, as it appears, recorded. For a politician seeking the highest office, this would seem to be more than a little naive!

One newspaper report I read today branded his comments about the possibilty of nuclear attack on Chicago as 'bizarre'. It may have been indiscreet, but certainly not bizarre. Those of you who have already read my book Alpha to Omega will understand why I say this. And those of you who drop by regularly to read these posts will know that I have previously said it is not a question of if, but when a major terrorist attack takes place on a major conurbation. This is not just my view, but that echoed by many top security analysts and western politicians.

His Chicago scenario is just illustrative. It could be any major US city or European one. I happen to think that the most likely is London in 2013. This conclusion was arrived at after research into a range of related issue. If I'm wrong about the exact location, it doesn't really matter. Paris, Washington, New York - we will all experience the consequences and the changes that will occur for generations to come.

  

Israel, war and heading towards 2013

Israel, it seems, is ramping up its preparations for war. To what extent circumstances in Syria influence this, I'm not sure. Syria and Iran are allies and it may be that when Syria eventually falls (as it undoubtedly will), Iran will feel even more isolated than it has in the past. It can then either 'fall into line' (unlikely) or become more aggressive or assertive. If that happens, some form of conflict will become inevitable.

Would Israel go it alone, or would they only move with the agreement of the USA? You have to assume the latter, but don't completely rule out unilateral action; dragging the US and possibly others unwillingly into the conflict. The other question, is when? With a Presidential election just a few months away, timing is tricky. Would the incumbent risk getting drawn into conflict on the eve of an election - or would it add a spark to his election campaign? Alternatively, might Israel hold off for a few months, in the hope of seeing a potentially more sympathetic Republican ally in the White House?

For what it's worth, my view is that it will wait until the end of the year or into 2013. But then, prepare for major earth changing events. Along with the world's economic woes, not least in the slowly decaying eurozone, the pace of change in the world we live in will gather pace.

But remember, major change is not necessarily bad. It may feel like it at the time, but perhaps not in hindsight. A sentiment, for those who have read it, that I echo at the end of Alpha to Omega.
