US & Israeli Warships Move Into Red Sea...
It's not just the movement of a carrier group, it's the
involvement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in meetings with
Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak. FYI, the Joint Chiefs
do not usually get involved in "diplomatic" discussions...

"Arabic newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi reports that 12 American
warships, among which one aircraft carrier, as well as one
Israeli corvette, and possibly a submarine, have crossed the
Suez Canal on their way to the Red Sea.

Concurrently, thousands of Egyptian soldiers were deployed
along the canal to protect the ships. The passage disrupted
traffic into the manmade canal for the "longest time in
years." The immediate destination of the fleet is unknown.
According to Global Security, two other carriers are already
deployed in the region, with the CVN-73 Washington in the
western Pacific as of May 26, and the CVN-69 Eisenhower
supporting operation Enduring Freedom as of May 22. It is
unclear at first read what the third carrier group may be,
but if this news, which was also confirmed by the Jerusalem
Post and Haaretz, is correct, then the Debka report about a
surge in aircraft activity in the Persian Gulf is well on its
way to being confirmed. There has been no update on the three
Israeli nuclear-armed subs that are believed to be operating
off the coast of Iran currently."

"Shipping sources in the city of Suez on Friday have said
that 12 U.S. warships, including a giant Israeli warship, have
crossed the Suez Canal in the early hours of dawn on Friday,
en route to the Red Sea coast, at the same time as the channel
has seen large numbers of soldiers.
According to sources and eyewitnesses 'The Suez Canal traffic
was disrupted for hours in the morning during the crossing of
U.S. Navy, which includes a giant aircraft carrier, soldiers,
ships and infantry, armor and ammunition, coming from the
Mediterranean Sea on its way to the Red Sea'.
The sources revealed that many merchant ships were disrupted
outside the channel until the completion of the Navy passage,
which observers said was one of the longest since several
years. The sources added that the movement of fishing boats
in the Bitter Lakes and Lake Gator and navigation between the
two shores of the Suez Canal over the Peace Bridge and ferries
of individuals and vehicles may be stopped completely.
Egypt deployed thousands of soldiers on both sides of the Suez
Canal for insurance; witnesses said 'The Israeli warships were
seen among the U.S. warships but official sources have not
confirmed the information'.
Maj. Gen. Amin Radi Secretary of the Committee on National
Security in the People's Assembly made an exclusive statement
to to Al Quds Al Arabi, that the "decision to declare war on
Iran is not easy, but Israel was known for her Beslvha and
Arabdtha may provide to the war in order to maintain its
leadership in the region as nuclear weapons are the only
deterrent."
Radhi said, 'should be the scourge of Israel tend to be left
a free hand should be forced by the international community
to disarm its nuclear weapons before calling for strike on
Iran'.
In a related development, the opposition warned from various
that the Egyptian regime that allows a repeat of the historical
mistake when opening the Suez Canal to cross the fleet-
American attack on Iraq in this context, Abdullah said
Alsnanwi editor of 'Arab Nazareth' for 'Al Quds Al Arabi'
that 'the Egyptians will not stand idly by this time they see
the system of government in a major scandal in coordination
with Israel and America to open the Suez Canal to attack Iran
and Islam."
He expressed surprise at the crossing of a huge number of
American battleships, along with an Israeli sub carrying
nuclear warheads, and wondered, what is the secret channel
those huge numbers of warships to the Gulf, and he believed
the difficulty to enter the U.S. facing big problems in
Afghanistan and Iraq to open a front with Iran.
For his part, the leader of the Brotherhood warned of the
consequences of a strike on Iran, stressing that accept the
Arab and Muslim world such a thing is unacceptable and should
not be silent if the masses bowed to the will of the
governments in Washington and Tel Aviv.
The international media has pointed to the direction of an
Israeli nuclear submarine model 'Dolphin' carry nuclear
warheads and warships to the Gulf region in light of tensions
with Iran.
With Iran warned Friday that any act against the interests of
the Iranian people, legal and legitimate will result in legal
response and appropriate action by Iran, said U.S. Defense
Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday that U.S. intelligence
that indicates that it is likely to possess Tehran the ability
to attack Europe ' tens or even hundreds of rockets' taken
into account in the Government's decision to modify the Obama
system for missile defenses. The United States has cited the
growing threat of Iranian missiles when it announced in
September (September) last plans to integrate missile defenses
at sea and ashore in the member states of NATO in Europe and
around the States in what was dubbed 'adaptive phased
approach'. Gates said in a hearing on Congress 'among the
elements of information that contributed to the decision to
approach the interim adjustment to recognize that if Iran
actually launched a rocket attack on Europe would not be just
a missile or two or a few. He added, 'but is likely to be
attacked with a barrage of missiles because of its potential
to deal with tens or even hundreds of rockets'."
We have submitted a query to Hillary Clinton for confirmation,
in advance of her meeting with Israel defense minister Ehud
Barak, who flew in to the US on Saturday for meetings with the
former first lady, as well as Robert Gates and Chairman of the
JCS Mike Mullen. And yes, the Joint Chiefs of Staff don't
really get involved in high level "diplomacy" all that often.
Update: it appears the Aircraft Carrier crossing the Suez is
almost certainly CVN-75 Harry Truman, which until recently was
in the Mediterranean according to Stratfor. According to
Wikipedia, "the super carrier can accommodate approximately
80 aircraft."

At the end of May, Israel just completed a nationwide civil
defense drill termed "Turning Point 4." Chemical-gas masks
have been distributed to the civilian populace, and the military
has removed food, ammo, and supplies from known military
storage facilities which would be primary 1st strike targets
in a missile attack, and moved them to scatterd sites through
out Israel.
Here's an article detailing the nationwide exercise:
"Home Front defense drill hits peak as sirens sound across Israel."
Local authorities simulate missile attacks on Israel in
massive drill code-named 'Turning Point 4'; further sirens
expected throughout the day.

Here's a civil defense warning map from Israel's "Homefront
Command" (and you wondered where Homeland Security came from?),
showing the time Israelis have to find shelter from incoming
rocket attacks...

The National Home Front exercise is to begin tomorrow,
Sunday, May 23rd 2010.
The IDF Home Front Command, the National Emergency Authority,
search and rescue forces, local Israeli authorities,
government offices, security organizations, the education
system as well as public and private organizations will
participate in the exercise.
The exercise is aimed at improving national preparedness and
responses of the home front to emergencies. The exercise will
improve cooperation between the various organizations and
institutions and prepare them for different scenarios.
The exercise, taking place for the fourth consecutive year,
was scheduled and planned in advance as a part of the IDF’s
2010 training plan. This exercise is an additional measure
taken by Israel to prepare the public and the local
authorities for emergency periods.
A 1.5-minute-long siren will be heard throughout the country
on Wednesday, May 26th 2010 at 11:00 AM. In addition, on
Tuesday through Thursday, May 25th- 27th, 2010 field training
exercises will take place simulating different scenarios
during which additional sirens will be heard.
The education system will also take part in the exercise,
during which the students and teachers will simulate entering
the designated secured areas.
This year the exercise will focus on the preparedness of the
local authorities during emergencies. The exercise will
replicate emergency scenarios in more than 30 local
authorities throughout Israel in cooperation with the Home-
Front Command.
The IDF Spokesperson and the IDF Home Front Command ask that
the Israeli public take part in the exercise and be aware of
the instructions given by the Home Front Command which have
proven to be effective and life-saving.
Following the siren, the public will practice entering the
designated secured area and stay there for approximately ten
minutes. In cases where entering the designated secured area
is not possible, the public is asked to methodically carry out
the necessary actions that are to be taken during an emergency
and practice them as soon as possible.
The exercise will also examine warning systems on cellular
phones and civilians in certain areas may therefore receive
text messages that read “Have a nice day” signed by the IDF
Home Front Command.
In addition, the IDF Home Front Command will practice
distributing protective kits to the public during emergency
periods. The distribution points will be opened for one day
on May 26th in several locations; Safed, Yokneam, Tira, Tzur
Hadassah, Rishon LeZion, Petah Tikva, Holon and the Reading
Power Station in Tel Aviv. Residents of these cities will
receive invitations via post.
During the exercise, all essential services, including
hospitals, public transportation, conventions and public
events will continue to work as usual.
•If you fail to hear the siren, please contact and inform
the Home Front Command Information Center at #1207.
•For information related to public and private shelters please
contact municipal information centers.
For further information contact Home Front Command Information
Center at #1207 or the internet website at WWW.OREF.ORG.IL

We know that twice before, the globalist have used World War
to bring in their long desired one-world government.
World War I brought us the League of Nations, and World War II,
the United Nations. Both failed in their ultimate goals, but
have served the globalists well, in advancing their cause.
And as anyone who has studied the Great Depression knows, it
was World War II, not any economic, or political reforms, that
finally brought an end to the Great Depression.
In an era in which no crisis will go unused, with the global
financial system being maintained only by unsustainable
"extend and pretend," bank bailouts, quantitative easing,
debt monetization and stimulus spending... and with both
Europe and the US economies on the verge of collapse...
and with social unrest and unemployment rising on both
continents... a large regional, if not global conflict,
will not only enrich the international bankers by financing
the war debt, but will give the globalists the ability to use
yet another "war to end all wars," to stimulate Western economies,
to usher in tighter police state controls, greater restrictions
on the Press, and aid what they see, as their final push to
usher in global governance.
And in case no one noticed, there has been a massive amount
of large scale Homeland Security drills and exercises going
on all across America from Martial Law and gun confiscation
drills in Illinois with foreign troops, to VIPR drills across
the Ohio Valley.

With much of America (and the US Military leadership), against
an attack on Iran, let's pray they don't unleash a "galvanizing"
event upon America.
Sadly, there could be more than fireworks unleashed
by the 4th of July, as the pathocracy prepares to
move a few pawns on their grande chessboard.
