Hi Barry:
This story by Ron Kampeas, AP writer-----------written in August--already eerily correct..... My prediction is that Clinton had better be very careful or he is heading into the situation where he will lose face and more credibility, also dire consequences for the stockmarket. All Saddam would have to do is launch a successful attack on an american aircraft carrier even if only one bomb or missle would hit and the US is "smeared" in the eyes of the world.
The Persian Gulf Deception-
"The harvest in the Mother of Battles has succeeded...
the greater harvest and its yield
will be in the time to come..."
(comment by Saddam Hussein following the Gulf War)
The shape the coming war will take is revealed by the lies the West has been told. One of the most obvious parts of the East's deception involves Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Why do you think Saddam invaded Kuwait and picked a fight with the West just over seven years ago? At the time the West was looking for any excuse to curtail Iraq's growing military strength and pursuit of "The Bomb", since Western oil-interests and Israel's security were increasingly endangered.
Yet, this is precisely what Saddam provided to the West. By invading Kuwait and threatening Saudi Arabia, Iraq gave the West a perfect excuse to wage a major war that would counter Saddam's growing military strength and the threat he posed to Israel and the oil-rich Persian Gulf region.
Since everything apparently went so well with the Gulf War, i.e., Iraq was quickly and decisively defeated and the world's oil supply was resecured, the West never considered the possibility that an ulterior motive might have been behind Saddam's seemingly reckless invasion of Kuwait and world confrontation. Yet, an ulterior motive there likely was: to make Iraq a symbolic victim of Western imperialism and world "Zionism" in order give Saddam justification for triggering a jihad, or holy war, against Israel and the West.

-Saddam's Revenge-
With Iraq's violent defeat by the West in the Gulf War, continuing U.S.-enforced economic sanctions against Baghdad and covert U.S. efforts to oust Saddam Hussein from power, Saddam's Iraq increasingly appears to be a victim of relentless Western imperialism in the oil-rich Arab world. In other words, Saddam has provoked the West into taking actions against his country that fit his conspiratorial worldview of Western "Zionist" oppression of Iraq and other Arab countries. In this way, Saddam is creating an excuse to seek revenge against the U.S. and Western powers for the ongoing unfair treatment of Iraq and the Arab world in general.
Since, if my hypothesis is correct, "Saddam's Revenge" will ultimately lead to the destruction of Israel and the West, the Iraqi dictator will end up looking like a great Arab hero who confronted the West, stomached tremendous imperialist oppression and eventually struck back such that his Zionist oppressors were ultimately destroyed. After the dust settles, Saddam can proclaim that Allah is on his side and force the Moslem world to submit to his "divine rule".
How is it that "Saddam's Revenge" will result in the destruction of Israel and the West? After all, as a military, economic and/or political power, Saddam's Iraq appears to be about as isolated and weak as could be. That, however, is the trick of it.
As Sun-Tzu explains in the "Art Of War", 'if strong, feign weakness'; 'if unified, project division'. Thus, Saddam's Iraq and Iraq's allies-of-old, i.e., the other Arab military powers along with the "former" and ongoing communist military powers of the East, have gone out of their way to project the image of division and weakness in the East. Yet, overall, Saddam and the authoritarian military powers of the East are still sitting on the largest military-machine ever known to man. The Beast simply is not dead, regardless of what the East wants us to make us believe and what the West wants to 'make believe'.
The question now is: In what way is Saddam going to seek revenge, and how will this be associated with the rise of Russia and the destruction of Israel and the West? I believe the answer has been revealed to me.
-The Revelation-
Back during the Gulf War, in February of 1991, I was engaged in a written correspondence with Robert Prechter, the "Elliott Wave Theorist", about what might eventually cause the Grand Supercycle crash and bear market we were both anticipating at the time.
One evening I was watching television when suddenly a special report aired of a chemical SCUD attack against Israel.
Surprised that Saddam had launched such a provocative attack, I contacted friends to let them know what happened. As I returned to the television to catch more news on the attack, I found nothing was being reported. When I awoke the next day, there was nothing in the newspapers. All said and done, I discovered that no such report had aired at the time I saw it.
Immediately after this odd experience, I mentioned to Mr. Prechter in a letter I was writing to him what I had seen. I speculated that I might had had a psychic vision of what would cause the Grand Supercycle collapse in the stock market we were expecting. Clearly an Iraqi chemical attack on Israel and a subsequent outbreak of some sort of new Arab/Israeli war would greatly upset investors' expectations and precipitate a large-scale decline in stock prices.
Right after sending this letter to Mr. Prechter, I had another experience that apparently revealed the full danger we were facing.
Upon reading a Bible prophecy to a friend that I believe depicts a future nuclear war (the Seventh Seal prophecy in the eighth chapter of the Book of Revelation), my friend and I heard an air-raid siren followed by the bellowed percussion of a nuclear explosion.
Coming so soon after my vision of a special report of a chemical SCUD attack on Israel, I concluded there must be a connection- the Grand Supercycle crash would involve an all-out war in the Middle East that would be followed by an all- out global war involving a nuclear holocaust.
From that moment on, my search began for what would lead to a Grand Supercycle crash in Western expectations via a nuclear third world war.
Thus, I discovered how the world has been utterly deceived by Saddam Hussein and the authoritarian military powers of the East. Western expectations are being intentionally misled to irrational heights in order to open the way for an ultimate upset in the form of a surprise third world war.
-The Zhirinovsky Connection-
How exactly is it that an Iraqi chemical attack against Israel will be associated with an eventual global nuclear war? Well, I believe I later discovered the answer to that question with the "Zhirinovsky Connection".
ucc.uconn.edu
Vladimir Zhirinovsky and other Russian nationalists (namely Alexander Lebed) are supposedly Saddam Hussein's ally.
In February of 1995, Zhirinovsky went to Baghdad and met with Saddam Hussein on February 26th, the fourth anniversary of Kuwait's liberation from Iraqi occupation and the second anniversary of the World Trade Center bombing which has been linked to Iraq. During a three- hour conversation they discussed a proposal by Zhirinovsky to create an anti-Western coalition between Russia, the Orthodox and Muslim world. Zhirinovsky told journalists after the meeting: "There is no confrontation between the North: Russia, and the South: the Arab and Muslim world". Zhirinovsky concluded his three-day visit to Baghdad by signing a draft accord to boost ties between Russia and Iraq.
The odds are that this suspicious connection between Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Zhirinovsky is signaling the upcoming events that will upset Wall Street's expectations and precipitate the Grand Supercycle crash. More specifically, there is reason to believe a new military confrontation between Iraq and the West is imminent that will seemingly bring about a military coup in Russia and the rise to power of a right-wing dictator, possibly Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
-A New Confrontation-
It appears that Saddam is about to provoke a new military confrontation with the U.S., supposedly in response to the unremitting pressure being placed on Iraq. Because Iraq has consistently thwarted U.N. inspections of sites believed to be used for storing and manufacturing missiles and weapons of mass destruction, economic sanctions against Iraq are not going to be lifted for the foreseeable future. In response, Saddam is apparently about to stop abiding by the ceasefire agreement that ended the Gulf War in 1991.
One way Saddam could prompt a new fight with the West is by ordering Iraq to stop cooperating with U.N. weapons inspections. Early this year the U.S. was on the verge of bombing Iraq because Saddam was not allowing inspections of "sensitive" sites like Iraqi presidential palaces. Following a major build-up of Western military forces in the Persian Gulf region and threats of force, Saddam backed down and allowed inspections to occur. Clearly, should Baghdad once again obstruct U.N. inspections, Western military action against Iraq will quickly follow. Another way Iraq may provoke a new military confrontation with the U.S. is by violating the so-called "No-Fly Zones" that have been established in northern and southern Iraq. Given past violations of the No-Fly Zones by Turkish and Iranian warplanes seeking to counter terrorist rebel groups based in Iraq, Saddam may chose to violate the No-Fly Zones supposedly to defend sovereign Iraqi territory. Washington has given stern warnings that violations of the No-Fly Zones will not be tolerated and can result in a military response.
One other way Iraq might provoke a new fight with the U.S. is by taking military action in the U.N.-protected zones in northern and southern Iraq. Since Washington has allowed Turkey to launch larg e-scale military assaults against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, any U.S. military intervention to block Iraqi aggression in the U.N.-protected zones will constitute a clear double-standard. Thus, Saddam can seek to demonstrate how his country is a victim of Western imperialism and hypocrisy by attacking the supposedly "protected" zones in the North and/or South thereby p rovoking U.N.-ordered retaliation by U.S. forces.
One way or another, one should expect a new confrontation between Saddam and the West at the current juncture. This confrontation might involve obstruction of U.N. inspections, Iraqi violations of No-Fly Zones in northern and southern Iraq and/or an Iraqi military ass ault against U.N.-protected areas in northern and southern Iraq. Such prov ocations will, in turn, provoke a new fight between Iraq and the Western powers (in particularly, the U.S. and Britain).
-Saddam's Revenge & The 40th Missile-
"The Arab countries should be asking themselves,
'Who will fire the 40th missile against Israel?'"
-Saddam Hussein
(From a speech he gave on the fourth anniversary of the
start of the Gulf War.)
Once the U.S. is bombing Iraq again, Saddam will have an excuse to seek revenge for the seemingly unending Western repression of, and military assaults against, his country. I believe this revenge will somehow involve what I've already foreseen: a chemical SCUD missile attack against Israel. That Saddam is planning such an attack, or is at least expecting to be involved with such an attack by another Arab power like Syria, explains why he threatened to "make fire eat up half of Israel" several months before ordering Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Furthermore, in a speech made on the anniversary of the start of the Gulf War two years ago, Saddam proclaimed: "The Arab countries should be asking themselves, 'Who will fire the 40th missile against Israel?'". Given that Iraq launched 39 SCUD missiles at Israel during the Gulf War, this clearly implies Baghdad is anticipating a new SCUD attack against the Jewish homeland.
-Russia's Last Dash to the South-
Clearly, if Saddam's Iraq (and/or Syria) unleashes a chemical SCUD attack against Israel in connection with a new Persian Gulf crisis, an action that will revive memories of Hitler's gassing of the Jews, all-out war will likely erupt in the Middle East. The U.S. will most likely seek to finally get rid of Saddam's Hussein for destabilizing the oil-rich region.
With the U.S. at war again with Iraq, possibly at the same time that NATO is drawn into a war against the Serbs (over Kosovo), a pretext will be created for Vladimir Zhirinovsky or some other right-wing dictator (Alexander Lebed?) to suddenly rise to power in Russia by way of a military coup. Western military action against historical Russian allies like Iraq and the Serbs will seemingly stir a nationalist backlash in Moscow that brings about such a coup.
With a nationalist dictator in the Kremlin and the U.S. and possibly Turkey and/or Israel at war with Iraq and possibly other Arab powers, the way will be opened for Russia's "Last Dash to the South" (the title of Vladimir Zhirinovsky's supposed autobiography); a Russian military campaign to dominate an arc of territory to Russia's south stretching from the Balkans to East Asia. A major objective of this campaign is to overrun the Middle/Near East and thereby rest control of the world's oil supply.
Russia's last dash to the south will probably be associated with some sort of new Arab/Israeli war. I believe such a war is planned in order to provoke the "Samson Option", Israel's policy of nuclear retaliation against the Arab powers and Russia should Israel be hopelessly overrun. Israel's use of nuclear weapons, in turn, will create an ideal pretext for an all-out Russian nuclear attack against the West which, after the dust settles, Moscow will argue the West brought upon itself.
-Breaking The Seventh Seal & The Grand Supercycle Crash-
Clearly, if Saddam's revenge takes the shape I expect and leads to the nuclear destruction of Israel and the West, then Wall Street's current high expectations, reflected in the DJIA trading near 9000, will be utterly upset. This upset of prevailing, misled expectations is effectively an ultimate crash, i.e., a Grand Supercycle crash.
Saddam's revenge and a future nuclear war will, however, fulfill religious expectations as embodied in Biblical prophecy. As I explain in my article "The Truth" (see ucc.uconn.edu ), a global nuclear war is highly consistent with the Seventh Seal prophecy from the eighth chapter in the Bible's Book of Revelation. As explained above, about a week after I saw that mysterious special report of a chemical SCUD attack on Israel in February of 1991, a friend and I heard an air-raid siren and nuclear explosion upon reading the Seventh Seal prophecy aloud. Thus, in my mind there is little doubt that religious prophecy has everything to do with a future nuclear war.
As apocalyptic tradition holds, after the Seventh Seal is broken, the truth behind Christianity is revealed. The question thus arises as to how a nuclear war entails the revelation of truth. I think I might have an answer. As explained above, my potentially supernatural experiences in February of 1991 led me to critically reexamine events in the Persian Gulf up to that time. Based upon this examination, I figured out how Iraq, Moscow and the military powers of the East have been creating an historically unprecedented, global-scale deception in order to launch a nuclear surprise attack against the West. The explanatory theory and supporting evidence behind this view is what the majority of my articles are about. Thus, one way the truth is, in effect, revealed by a future nuclear war is by corroborating the idea that the whole world has been utterly deceived by Baghdad, Moscow and the powers of the East. In other words, upon the surprise attack, prevailing expectations will be utterly upset because everyone believed a total lie. Therefore, at least in a relative sense, the truth is revealed.

"Disarmament talks with Iraq break down; Butler to return home"
UNITED NATIONS (August 3, 1998 9:28 p.m.) -- Talks between Iraq and the United Nations on dismantling Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have collapsed, and the chief U.N. inspector was cutting his trip to Baghdad short, the president of the Security Council said Monday.
Richard Butler would be in New York by Wednesday at the latest to brief the council, said Danilo Turk, the Slovenian ambassador to the council and its current president.
Butler was unlikely to get clearance to fly out of Baghdad before dawn Tuesday.
"This is a difficult moment," Turk said. "It is not easy to have the discussions cut short, it is disturbing. We will have to see what Mr. Butler brings."
Turk said he had consulted with fellow council members, and was not clear yet what caused the breakdown in talks.
The ramifications of the impasse were not immediately clear. With Butler's departure, it appeared unlikely that sanctions would be lifted any time soon. Iraq, which wants the sanctions lifted by the end of the year, has feuded with U.N. inspectors numerous times.
In February, tensions reached the brink of military confrontation when U.S. and British forces were dispatched to the Persian Gulf to pressure Iraq to comply with the inspections.
U.N. chief Kofi Annan defused the situation -- and raised the prospects of lifting sanctions -- by brokering an agreement in February with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to open eight presidential complexes to inspectors. The situation further improved in June, when Butler gave Iraq a "blueprint" of what it must do to comply with U.N. resolutions that must be met for sanctions to be lifted.
Earlier, Butler said Iraq turned down his proposal for a plan of action to end the inspections that began after the 1991 Gulf War.
"We did not make the progress I have hoped for," Butler told reporters. "I do not know whether we are going to meet tomorrow."
His comments followed harsh criticism by Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, who said Butler was serving U.S. interests by trying to prolong the punishing sanctions. Aziz said the U.N. Special Commission was "back to its old games, to its old tricks."
The commission, which Butler heads, is responsible for ensuring that Iraq has ended efforts to build nuclear weapons and eliminated its weapons of mass destruction -- long-range missiles and chemical and biological arms -- as required by U.N. resolutions that followed the Gulf War.
The comments by both sides followed some optimism that they were on track to ending the inspections. But after the two rounds of talks Monday, the two sides seemed headed for a crisis.
The Security Council has said that the sanctions -- including a ban on air travel and limits on the sale of oil -- will not be lifted until the commission ensures the weapons have been destroyed.
Aziz accused Butler's team of ignoring the country's progress in reaching the goal and instead focusing on "minor issues which make no sense from the angle of disarmament."
"Since this is the wish of the American administration to perpetuate the situation, to prolong the current situation, to keep the sanctions on the people of Iraq. ... as long as this is the American wish, you (Butler) are serving the American policy," he said.
Neither Aziz nor Butler gave specifics on what was discussed Monday, but the "blueprint" Butler presented the Iraqis during his last visit in June calls for further disclosures about the country's missile program and biological and chemical weaponry.
"Butler had a road map," Turk, the council president said as he left U.N. headquarters in New York after what he described as a "long day" of consultations with other ambassadors. "That road map has to be developed further."
Aziz repeated Iraq's earlier contention that Iraq "does not have any weapons of mass destruction."
