Neoconned : Pentagon Top Brass Throw Trump Under The Bus With ‘ Shameless Ass-Covering Leaks ’ It ’ s looking like the NeverTrump neocons President Trump surrounded himself with are already stabbing him in the back through selective leaks to the New York Times after convincing him to assassinate Iranian General Qassem Soleimani .
From The New York Times , “ As Tensions With Iran Escalated , Trump Opted for Most Extreme Measure ” : In the chaotic days leading to the death of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani , Iran ’ s most powerful commander , top American military officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which they viewed as the most extreme response to recent Iranian-led violence in Iraq — on the menu they presented to President Trump .
They didn ’ t think he would take it .
In the wars waged since the Sept. 11 , 2001 , attacks , Pentagon officials have often offered improbable options to presidents to make other possibilities appear more palatable .
After initially rejecting the Suleimani option on Dec. 28 and authorizing airstrikes on an Iranian-backed Shiite militia group instead , a few days later Mr. Trump watched , fuming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the American Embassy in Baghdad , according to Defense Department and administration officials .
By late Thursday , the president had gone for the extreme option .
Top Pentagon officials were stunned .
Translation : the NeverTrump neocons Trump surrounded himself with convinced him to carry out the attack to take out Israel ’ s number one enemy and now that it appears to be backfiring they ’ re leaking how the intelligence was non-existent and acting like the attack was entirely his idea .
I guess it serves him right .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials said on Saturday , despite disputes in the administration about the significance of what some officials said was a new stream of intelligence that warned of threats to American embassies , consulates and military personnel in Syria , Iraq and Lebanon .
General Suleimani had just completed a tour of his forces in Syria , Lebanon and Iraq , and was planning an “ imminent ” attack that could claim hundreds of lives , those officials said .
“ Days , weeks , ” Gen. Mark A. Milley , the chairman of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Friday , when asked how imminent any attacks could be , without offering more detail other than to say that new information about unspecified plotting was “ clear and unambiguous.
” But some officials voiced private skepticism about the rationale for a strike on General Suleimani , who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American troops over the years .
According to one United States official , the new intelligence indicated “ a normal Monday in the Middle East ” — Dec. 30 — and General Suleimani ’ s travels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That official described the intelligence as thin and said that General Suleimani ’ s attack was not imminent because of communications the United States had between Iran ’ s supreme leader , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , and General Suleimani showing that the ayatollah had not yet approved any plans by the general for an attack .
The ayatollah , according to the communications , had asked General Suleimani to come to Tehran for further discussions at least a week before his death .

1 Billion Animals Dead: Under A “Blazing Red Sky” In Australia, Apocalyptic Wildfires Are Killing Koalas, Kangaroos And Countless Other Creatures

1 Billion Animals Dead : Under A “ Blazing Red Sky ” In Australia , Apocalyptic Wildfires Are Killing Koalas , Kangaroos And Countless Other Creatures An entire continent is being transformed into “ a charred , apocalyptic nightmare ” , and experts are telling us that a billion animals may have already died so far in the horrific wildfires that are raging all across Australia .
Extremely strong winds and record high temperatures are going to create ideal conditions for the fires to spread even more this week , but officials will do all that they can to try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this point , 146 fires are burning all over the country .
With temperatures in some communities reaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit , and with winds expected to hit 80 mph or higher in some areas this week , things appear certain to get even worse before they start to get better .
The total number of acres burned already represents an area larger than the entire nation of Switzerland , and this crisis is far from over .
On Sunday , thousands of firefighters valiantly attempted to contain the colossal wildfires that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire state of New South Wales was “ illuminated by an otherworldly , blazing red sky ” … But it has mostly been a losing battle for the firefighters .
These wildfires are truly unprecedented , and when they actually started producing their own thunderstorms that was simply too much for the brave firefighters to handle… Wildfires ravaging much of southeastern Australia burned so hot that they created their own thunderstorms and lightning—similar to conditions during a volcanic eruption or atomic bomb blast .
Firefighter Michael Brearley was leading the defense of Wingello @ @ @ @ @ @ @ south of Sydney when a huge cloud began to form in the distance on Saturday .
He knew it was bad news : The area had barely seen a drop of rain for weeks .
Instead it was fire that rained down from the formation of pyrocumulonimbus clouds—created by intense heat driving air rapidly upward in the smoke plume from a wildfire , drawing in moisture and resulting in thunderstorms .
Scientists say they are only beginning to understand the weather phenomenon , making its behavior hard to predict .
“ When the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collapsed and it just threw fire into the forest immediately south of the town , ” Mr. Brearley said .
“ We screamed for more resources .
The fire was on us.
” When the winds really kick up , these fires can move at tremendous speed , and in some cases the flames have been up to 200 feet tall .
Needless to say , many animals are not able to outrun wildfires of that magnitude .
Millions upon millions of animals have already died , and it is a tragedy that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few days ago , we were being told that almost half a billion animals may have died so far .
The following comes from CNBC… But now experts are telling us that it is likely that a billion animals have died .
The following comes from a British news source… I can ’ t remember another disaster in my entire lifetime that killed as many animals in such a short period of time .
And according to Stuart Blanch of WWF Australia , many more animals will end up dying in the weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Animals that make it through the fires will continue to die in the next weeks and months because of dehydration , starvation , disease and being easier prey for feral cats and foxes .
“ Even animals that are not being burnt to death are cooked because of extreme temperatures , or they get very confused and lost because of the smoke haze so our animals don ’ t stand a chance from these mass mega-fires that burn flames up to 200ft high.
” If you have any sympathy for other creatures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Australia are absolutely heart-rending .
In particular , some photos of a kangaroo that had been severely burned begging for help have gone viral all over the Internet… Of course kangaroos can move quite quickly , and so many of them have been able to escape from the fires .
But koalas can not move very fast at all , and experts are warning that up to 30 percent of all koalas in existence may have already died… This appears to be the worst natural disaster in the modern history of Australia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling us that the fires “ could burn for months ” before they finally go out .
Sadly , the truth is that our whole planet is dying , we are going to see even worse disasters in the months and years ahead , and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop it from happening .
The season of “ the perfect storm ” is here , and it is going to be an exceedingly painful time for the entire planet .
Unfortunately , most Americans don ’ t care about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the world , and so many of them won ’ t start paying attention until some sort of major disaster affects them personally .

prisonplanet--2020-01-06--Why Is Iran Flying A Blood Red Flag Over A Famous Mosque That Is Directly Associated With The Mahdi?

Why Is Iran Flying A Blood Red Flag Over A Famous Mosque That Is Directly Associated With The Mahdi ?
For the first time ever , a blood red flag is being flown over the famous Jamkaran Mosque in the Iranian “ holy city ” of Qom .
If you have not see it yet , you can watch it being raised right here .
And as I will explain below , the fact that this mosque is directly associated with the Mahdi makes this symbolic gesture doubly significant .
The hoisting of this flag was broadcast on Iranian state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to send a message to Shiites all over the globe .
So precisely what was that message ?
Well , we are being told that according to Shiite tradition a red flag represents both “ blood spilled unjustly ” and a call for revenge… Red flags have also been spotted flying at anti-U.S. demonstrations in Tehran over the past few days .
Clearly , the Iranians want blood .
They will never , ever forgive us for the killing of Qassem Soleimani , and their faith requires that he be avenged .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blood red flag that is now flying above the Jamkaran Mosque , and apparently it is a reference to the death of the grandson of Muhammad… Obviously the Iranians are viewing this as something much bigger than simply extracting sufficient revenge for the death of a deeply loved national leader .
Rather , they seem to be using this moment as a call to wage jihad against all of the enemies of Shia Islam .
And as I mentioned above , the fact that this flag was raised over this particular mosque is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mosque is considered to be one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam , and it is also associated with the future reappearance of the Mahdi .
In fact , as the flag was being hoisted there was a direct reference to the Mahdi… In Iran today , most of the national leaders believe that the 12th imam , Muhammad al-Mahdi , was born in Iraq in 869 and never died .
Just before judgement day , the Mahdi is supposed to reappear along with Jesus during a time of war and chaos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and establish Islam as the ruling faith across the globe ” .
It is also commonly believed that the Mahdi is coming very soon , and so that explains why so many top Iranians seem to relish the thought that war could be coming .
They need war to come first in order for the Mahdi to appear , and since the Mahdi is supposed to return during the coming apocalyptic war and establish Shia Islam as the faith of the entire planet , they aren ’ t exactly too concerned about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is so important to understand the mindset of these radical Shiites .
If they die as martyrs , they will be rewarded as such in the afterlife .
If they live through the coming holy war , they will get to see the coming of the Mahdi , and they will help to institute the global rule of Shia Islam .
So in either case , they believe that they can ’ t lose .
At this point , what they want is blood .
In fact , even the daughter of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Just check out what she just asked Iranian President Hassan Rouhani… There is no question that Iran is going to strike back .
And it won ’ t just be a one time deal .
They are going to hit us repeatedly , and they have already identified 35 potential targets… Unfortunately , we didn ’ t have to wait long for the violence to begin .
In fact , the Green Zone in Baghdad has been targeted by rockets for two days in a row… Of course President Trump is not going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he has warned the Iranians that he has identified 52 Iranian targets that could potentially be hit… Following that tweet , many on the left harshly criticized Trump for potentially targeting cultural sites , but Trump subsequently doubled down on that threat… Does anyone see a way that war with Iran can be avoided at this point ?
The Trump administration and the Iranians will both keep escalating things until a full-blown cataclysmic war erupts in the Middle East , and it will be a war that will inevitably involve Israel as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accelerate the development of “ the perfect storm ” that I keep talking about , and none of our lives will ever be the same again .
Those that think that this is a crisis that will blow over in a few days or a few weeks are not being rational .
The Iranians will never , ever , ever forgive what Trump has done , and Soleimani ’ s successor is assuring everyone that we will soon “ see the bodies of Americans all over the Middle East ” … There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming , and the death and destruction it will bring will shock the entire planet .

Iran Will “ No Longer Observe Any Limits ” On Uranium Enrichment In what is the final blow to Obama ’ s landmark JCPOA , or the 2015 Iran nuclear deal , Iran ’ s government said on Sunday it would no no longer abide by any limits on its enrichment of uranium but would continue to cooperate with the UN ’ s nuclear watchdog , the IAEA , according to the semi-official FARS news agency .
“ The Islamic Republic will no longer observe any limits on the operational aspects of its nuclear program , to include uranium enrichment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enriched material and research and development , ” Fars reported , citing a statement from the government .
As a reminder , President Trump started the process of unwinding Obama ’ s signature foreign policy deal in May 2018 , when he withdrew the U.S. from the deal , setting off a chain of events that have seen tensions rise to the point where the two countries may now be on the brink of war .
FARS a government statement saying Iran would not respect any limits set down in the pact on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could use , which meant there would be no limits on its enrichment capacity , the level to which uranium could be enriched , or Iran ’ s nuclear research and development .
These would from now on be based on Iran ’ s technical needs .
The statement also said Iran ’ s steps could be reversed if Washington lifted its sanctions on Tehran , which of course won ’ t happen any time soon , if ever .
Instead , what will happen , is that the US will use Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nuclear deal and the “ threat ” of a nuclear Iran , as justification for further military intervention , one which in addition to US military , may also involve Israeli forces in the immediate future .

“The Europeans Haven’t Been Helpful” – Pompeo Slams Allies As Not Sufficiently Supportive After Suleimani Killing

“ The Europeans Haven ’ t Been Helpful ” – Pompeo Slams Allies As Not Sufficiently Supportive After Suleimani Killing With the middle eastern proxy war rapidly coalescing into an actual kinetic war , moves are now in motion to determine the shape of alliances once the shooting begins .
And while it is quite clear that Russia and China will back Iran in spirit – although it remains to be seen if they will also back it in deed – it is increasingly questionable if that long-term US ally , Europe , will do the same for the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trouble emerged late on Friday when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a Fox News interview that the United States ’ European allies were not as helpful as he was hoping following the US strike in Iraq on Thursday that killed Iran ’ s top military commander , Qassem Soleimani .
Pompeo compared the European response unfavourably with US “ partners in the region ” , a reference to Israel , Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates , which Pompeo consulted after the Suleimani assassination .
“ I spent the last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , talking to partners in the region , sharing with them what we were doing , why we were doing it , seeking their assistance , ” Pompeo told Fox News .
“ They ’ ve all been fantastic .
And then talking to our partners in other places that haven ’ t been quite as good .
“ Frankly , the Europeans haven ’ t been as helpful as I wished that they could be , ” Pompeo said adding that “ the Brits , the French , the Germans all need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what the Americans did , saved lives in Europe as well .
We ’ re trying to get Iran to simply behave like a normal nation.
” In justifying the unilateral airstrike , Pompeo said that “ Qassem Suleimani led and his IRGC [ Revolutionary Guard ] led assassination campaigns in Europe .
This was a good thing for the entire world , and we are urging everyone in the world to get behind what the United States is trying to do to get the Islamic Republic of Iran to simply behave like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in tone was apparent in Pompeo ’ s social media remarks : the Secretary of State has tweeted comments about speaking with a various foreign leaders in the past few days , including the Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu , the United Arab Emirates ’ Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Saudi Arabia ’ s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman .
Pompeo tweeted that he thanked the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan region of Iraq “ for his steadfast partnership .
We agreed on the need for continued , close cooperation.
” Meanwhile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a cool response : “ Countering the Iranian regime ’ s malign activity is a shared priority with our European allies .
Our resolve to protect our people & our interests is unwavering , ” Pompeo tweeted after his conversation with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian .
After speaking with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas , Pompeo commented , “ Germany is also concerned over the Iranian regime ’ s continued military provocations .
The U.S. remains committed to de-escalation.
” British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab , who spoke with Pompeo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urged “ all parties to de-escalate.
” Raab said the U.K. “ recognized the aggressive threat ” that Soleimani posed , but “ further conflict is in none of our interests.
” Similarly , French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted , “ The escalation of tensions in the Middle-East isn ’ t inevitable.
” He focused instead on supporting Iraq ’ s sovereignty and security , “ as well as the region ’ s stability ; the fight against [ ISIS } terrorism.
” European reaction to the drone-strike killing of Suleimani and Iraqi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been cautious and apprehensive .
While noting Suleimani ’ s destructive role in the region , governments have called for restraint .
Policy towards Iran has been a deeply divisive issue between the US and Europe since Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 multilateral agreement with Iran that imposed strict limits on its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief .

prisonplanet--2020-01-06--How Long Will It Take For The US To Collapse?

How Long Will It Take For The US To Collapse ?
There are a multitude of false assumptions out there on what the collapse of a nation or “ empire ” looks like .
Modern day Americans have never experienced this type of event , only peripheral crises and crashes .
Thanks to Hollywood , many in the public are under the delusion that a collapse is an overnight affair .
They think that such a thing is impossible in their lifetimes , and if it did happen , it would happen as it does in the movies – They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find the world on fire .
Historically speaking , this is not how it works .
The collapse of an empire is a process , not an event .
This is not to say that there are not moments of shock and awe ; there certainly are .
As we witnessed during the Great Depression , or in 2008 , the system can only be propped up artificially for so long before the bubble pops .
In past instances of central bank intervention , the window for manipulation is around ten years between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of years .
For the average person , a decade might seem like a long time .
For the banking elites behind the degradation of our society and economy , a decade is a blink of an eye .
In the meantime , danger signals abound as those analysts aware of the situation try to warn the populace of the underlying decay of the system and where it will inevitably lead .
Economists like Ludwig Von Mises foresaw the collapse of the German Mark and predicted the Great Depression ; almost no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Multiple alternative economists predicted the credit crisis and derivatives crash of 2008 ; and almost no one listened until it was too late .
People refused to listen because their normalcy bias took control of their ability to reason and accept the facts in front of them .
There are a number factors that cause mass blindness to economic and social reality .
First and foremost , establishment elites deliberately create the illusion of prosperity by rigging economic data to the upside .
In almost every case of economic crisis or geopolitical disaster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are in the midst of a financial “ boom ” or era of “ peace ” .
They are encouraged to ignore fundamental warning signs in favor of foolish faith in the system .
Those people that try to break the apathy and expose the truth are called “ chicken little ” and “ doom monger ” .
In the minds of the cheerful lemmings a “ collapse ” is something very obvious ; they think they would know it when they saw it .
It ’ s like trying to teach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s not impossible , but it ’ s very difficult to get all these Helen Kellers to understand that what they perceive is not the whole reality .
There ’ s a vast world hidden from them and they have no concept of how to observe it .
Crash events are like stages in the process of collapse ; they create moments of clarity for the blind .
However , they are also often engineered to benefit the establishment .
There ’ s a reason why the elites put so much energy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state of the economy , and it ’ s not because they are trying to keep the system from faltering by using sheer public ignorance .
Rather , a crash event is a tool , a means to an end .
As Congressman Charles Lindbergh Sr. warned after the panic of 1920 : “ Under the Federal Reserve Act , panics are scientifically created ; the present panic is the first scientifically created one , worked out as we figure a mathematical problem… ” Central bankers and their cohorts manipulate economic data and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before almost every major crash because they WANT to ambush the populace .
They WANT to create panic , and then use it to their advantage as they rebuild and mutate the system into something unrecognizable only decades ago .
Each consecutive crash contributes to the collapse of the whole , until eventually the society we once had is barely a distant memory .
This process can take decades , and the US has been subject to it for quite some time now .
Once again in 2019 we are seeing the lie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perpetuated in the mainstream .
The public was growing too aware of the danger and had to be subdued .
More specifically , conservatives were growing too aware .
The sad thing is that the boom propaganda is most prominent today among conservatives , who are desperately trying to ignore the fundamentals in an attempt to defend the Trump Administration .
The same people who were pointing out the economic bubble under Obama are now denying its existence under Trump .
Trump himself argued that the markets were a dangerous economic fraudcreated by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet once he was in office he flip-flopped and started taking full credit for the bubble .
What is mind boggling to me is that many people , even in the liberty movement , still choose to dismiss this behavior in favor of worshiping Trump as some kind of hero on a white horse .
This only reinforces my theory that the system is due for another major engineered crash event , and that the ongoing collapse of the US is soon to accelerate .
Each case of economic calamity in modern history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peak greed .
When the people traditionally most vigilant against crisis suddenly capitulate and claim victory , this is when reality strikes hardest .
This is when the establishment triggers yet another controlled demolition .
In order to determine how long an empire will last , one has to take into account the agenda of the elites that control its institutions .
As long as they are in key positions of power within the system and as long as they can inject their own puppet politicians , they will have the ability to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Can they prolong and stave off crisis ?
Yes , for a short while .
However , once the machine of a crash has been set in motion the best they can do is slow down the Titanic ; they can not change its path towards the iceberg .
And frankly , at this point why would they ?
I hear it argued often that the elites are going to “ keep the plates spinning ” on the economy and that they don ’ t want to lose their “ golden goose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reveals an naivety among skeptics of the true agenda .
Firstly , the elites have a highly useful political puppet in the form of Donald Trump ; he is useful in that he inspires sharp national division , and , he is a self proclaimed conservative champion and nationalist .
If the elites did not trigger a crash under Trump , then this would give the public the impression that conservative ideals and national sovereignty works .
This is the opposite of what they want .
Why would globalists that want the erasure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a centralized socialist “ Utopia ” seek to make conservatives and nationalists look good ?
Well , they wouldn ’ t .
The only concern of the banks is that they do not take the blame as their engineered collapse of the old world order hits the public with increasingly painful consequences .
These consequences are already becoming visible .
The next major crash has begun in the form of plunging fundamentals , and far too many conservatives are placing their heads in the sand for the selfish sake of proving the political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , US freight , global exports and imports , mass closures in US retail , as well as all time highs in consumer debt , corporate debt and national debt are being shrugged off and rationalized as nothing more than “ hiccups ” in an otherwise booming economy .
The Fed ’ s repo market purchases , barely keeping up with demand from liquidity starved corporations are also not being taken seriously .
Conservatives and analysts are going to have to forget about supporting Trump , a Rothschild owned proxy , and start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ question now is , will the elites allow the crash to spread further into mainstreet and strike markets before or after the 2020 election ?
As noted above , to predict the timing of a collapse in a nation or empire , one has to examine the agendas of the elites that dominate its institutions .
We can gain some sense of timing from the public admissions of globalist organizations like the IMF and the UN .
Each has announced the year 2030 as a target date for the finalization of globalization , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This means that the elites have around ten years to create a crisis and then “ solve ” that crisis with globalism .
Ten years is a narrow window , and if the elites intend for conservatives to take the blame for the next crash , they will have to initiate it soon .
They may not have a choice anyway , as the chain of dominoes was already been set in motion by the Fed in 2018 with its liquidity tightening policies .
We can also gauge timing of a collapse to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the establishment uses to hide what they are doing .
Generally , when a collapse is about to accelerate the elites use crisis events as cover to distract the public and produce scapegoats .
In my article ‘ Globalists Only Need One More Major Event To Finish Sabotaging The Economy ’ , I outlined three potential distractions that could be used in the near term , and if any of these events took place , then people should watch for the collapse to move faster .
Two of these events now appear imminent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran , and the second being a ‘ No Deal ’ Brexit .
Finally , we can take into account the globalist need for a scapegoat , and it appears that conservatives and nationalists are their target for blame .
This leaves less than one year for a crisis event if Trump is intended to leave the White House in 2020 , or less than four years if he is intended to stay in for a second term .
Keep in mind that A LOT can happen in a single year , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guaranteed yet .
But why create a collapse in the first place ?
Crash events allow the establishment to consolidate control over hard assets as poverty forces the population to sell what they have to survive .
This poverty also creates fear , which makes the public malleable and easier to control .
Each new crisis opens doors to political and social changes , changes which end in less freedom and more centralization .
Collapse is a succession of crashes leading to a complete erasure of the original society .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a hidden and insidious cancer that takes over the national body and warps it into a wretched form .
The collapse is complete when the nation either breaks apart , or is so damaged for so long that no one can remember what it used to look like .
What we are witnessing today is the beginning of a new crash , and the final phases of a collapse of our way of life .
The economic boom narrative among conservatives is a farce designed to trick us into complacency .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Obama Administration has been popped under the Trump Administration .
Nothing has changed in the ten years since the 2008 crash except that the motivation for keeping the crash hidden is quickly disappearing .
Crashes are inevitable , but collapse is only possible when the public remains unprepared .
Our civilization and its values are under attack , but they can only be destroyed if we stay apathetic to the threat and refuse to prepare for their defense .
We must adopt a philosophy of decentralization .
We need localized and self @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return to localized production .
Beyond that , we have to prepare for the eventuality of a fight .
The fate of the US economy has already been sealed , but the people who are destroying it can still be stopped before they use the collapse to force society into subservience .
We have to offer security , we have to offer alternatives to the “ new world order ” and we have to remove the globalist threat permanently .
Make no mistake , we are living in the midst of an epoch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on us and our reactions .
This is not the task of the next generation , it is a task for our generation .
We do not have another couple of decades to take the danger seriously .
The plates are not spinning , they have already dropped .

‘ Iranian Hackers ’ Take Down US Government Site After DHS Warns Of Lone Wolf Terrorists , Cyberattacks Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf published a special bulletin via the National Terrorism Advisory System , indicating that there is no credible terrorist threat but warns Americans need to be extra vigilant for suspicious activity amid the threat of war with Iran .
Wolf tweeted Saturday , “ The new @ DHSgov NTAS Bulletin on the threat landscape was issued to inform & reassure the American public , state/local governments & private partners that DHS is actively monitoring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threat , should one arise.
” Wolf ’ s announcement said there ’ s “ no information indicating ” a terrorist attack is imminent but said Iranian government officials and military leaders have called for revenge following US airstrikes that killed Qassem Soleimani , the head of Iran ’ s elite Quds military force and one of the most influential people in the country .

“ No More Threats ” – Trump Warns Iran “ 52 Targets Will Be Hit Very Fast & Hard ” Following today ’ s mortar attacks , and bellicosity from various Iranian ( and Iran-backed ) leaders , President Trump has responded in words ( for now ) , warning Iran in three short words : “ no more threats !
” In three short tweets , Trump explained he is done being threatened… Then reminded his followers just exactly what Soleimani had done… “ [ Soleimani ] had just killed an American , & badly wounded many others , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had killed over his lifetime , including recently hundreds of Iranian protesters .
He was already attacking our Embassy , and preparing for additional hits in other locations .
Iran has been nothing but problems for many years.
” Then came the warning : “ Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans , or American assets , we have targeted 52 Iranian sites ( representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago ) , some at a very high level & important to Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ targets , and Iran itself , WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD .
The USA wants no more threats !
“ Not quite as aggressive as the “ fire and fury ” tweet directed at North Korea , but with the red flag of jihad flying in Iran , we suspect they get the message from the US president .
Of course , as Politico ’ s Rym Momtaz explained earlier , no one knows for sure what happens next , even those who will decide some of the next steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it is strategic , calculating ( even if it miscalculates sometimes ) , so likelihood of an all-out direct US-Iran war is low .
Khamenei promised response , it must be strong enough to save face internally , for a regime already strained + facing popular dissent , and also be calibrated to avoid provoking a US response inside Iran .
The myth of invincibility that Iran built around Soleimani was a huge recruitment tool , it may also now turn out to be a double-edged sword .
How does its most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenger , get picked off so precisely by the US ?
Concern for US military , diplo personnel , and citizens , in the region is legit .
But allowing it to dictate policy plays into Iran ’ s hands which weaponises Western sensitivity to human loss , and war weariness , to further destabilise the region unchecked .
There are many so-called anti-imperialists who always criticise Western intervention but justify Iranian/Russian intervention .
Iran is not a legit actor in Iraq/Syria/Leb/Yemen .
Its crimes there are no less reprehensible than those by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set to announce its next violations of the JCPOA in next few days .
That ’ s another thing to look out for , other than a military retaliation , in wake of the Soleimani killing .
Will it escalate to the point of affecting break-out time or not ?
Trump ’ s warning follows Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah ’ s comments stressing that avenging Soleimani and the other martyrs is a duty of all resistance mujahidin around the world .

President Trump ’ s drone strike that killed a top Iranian commander at Baghdad International Airport on Friday has sparked concern among many Americans that the government could reinstate the draft ahead of a possible military conflict with Iran .
The Selective Service System website crashed on Friday after a surge in traffic was seen following the killing of Iranian General Qasem Suleimani .
Google searches for “ military draft age , ” “ iran , ” “ world war 3 , ” “ us draft , ” “ draft exemption , ” “ draft requirements , ” and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10 am est .
Friday and have been elevated ever since .
Hashtags such as # WWIII , # WorldWarThree , # WW3Memes and # WorldWarThreeDraft have been trending on Twitter in the last 24-hours .
The US sending upwards of 3,500 additional troops to military bases that surround Iran has also increased the hysteria – as many Americans now believe a war with Iran could be imminent .
Bloomberg noted that the Selective Service System website went down on Friday after high traffic volumes were seen .
The agency said , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our website is experiencing high traffic volumes at this time .
If you are attempting to register or verify registration , please check back later today as we are working to resolve this issue .
We appreciate your patience.
” In a separate tweet , the Selective Service System said , “ In the event that a national emergency necessitates a draft , Congress and the President would need to pass official legislation to authorize a draft.
” The draft was abolished in 1973 .
However , all men ages 12 to 25 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Selective Service System .
A return of the draft is unlikely at the moment .
But if tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East between the US and Iran , then it would be up to Congress and the President to reinstate the draft ahead of the next round of America ’ s forever wars .

Authorities in Hong Kong have activated a recently created “ serious response ” threat level Saturday as a mysterious SARS-like respiratory illness begins to spread throughout central China , according to AP .
While just 44 people have been admitted to the hospital with the unidentified virus – eleven of them in serious condition , authorities in Wuhan , China have put 121 people under observation who have been in close contact with the infected .

The U.N. has been oddly quiet about Soleimani ’ s violations of international law , including activities that indisputably violated U.N. sanctions .

She proceeded to lay out an impossibly stringent standard for preventive action that becomes grotesquely amusing when measured against Soleimani ’ s malign activities , not least his involvement in an undisputed act of war against the United States , the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad last week : To be justified under international human rights law , intentionally lethal or potentially lethal force can only be used where strictly necessary to protect against an imminent threat to life .

New York Times Published Story About Hypothetical Military Attack on Suleimani in Baghdad Hours Before Strike Some claim it was a warning .
The New York Times published a story about a hypothetical U.S. military strike on Qassim Suleimani in Baghdad hours before it actually happened .
In an article entitled ‘ Hypersonic Missiles Are a Game Changer ’ , Steven Simon , an analyst at the Quincy Institute , wrote , “ What if the former commander of Iran ’ s Revolutionary Guards , Qassim Suleimani , visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be many , ” Simon added .
Some respondents on social media suggested that the NY Times received advance notice of the strike from the Pentagon and tried to warn Suleimani , although there is no evidence to prove this .
As we highlighted earlier , another New York Times journalist , Farnaz Fassihi , offered what some of her critics described as a “ eulogy ” to killed Iranian terrorist leader Qasem Suleimani after she posted a video of him reciting poetry .
“ Rare personal video of Gen. Suleimani reciting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran .

CFR President Says “ The World Will be the Battlefield ” After Iran Escalation It ’ s not going to be like Iraq 2003 .
The President of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard N. Haass says that “ the world will be the battlefield ” following a dramatic escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran .
Fears of a wider war are rising after Iran ’ s Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani was killed during an airstrike near Baghdad ’ s airport .
Haass warned that those who thought any war with Iran would look similar to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Make no mistake : any war with Iran will not look like the 1990 Gulf war or the 2003 Iraq wars .
It will be fought throughout the region w a wide range of tools vs a wide range of civilian , economic , & military targets .
The region ( and possibly the world ) will be the battlefield , ” tweeted Haass .
He went on to assert that developments would lead to Iraqi authorities exerting great pressure on the U.S. to leave their country .
“ One sure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the era of US-Iraq cooperation is over .
The US diplomatic & mil presence will end b/c Iraq asks us to depart or our presence is just a target or both .
The result will be greater Iranian influence , terrorism , and Iraqi infighting , ” said Haas .
Meanwhile , a source described as being in “ close contact ” with senior security officials in the Trump Administration said that Iran could respond to the killing of Soleimani by launching a massive cyberattack .
A cyberattack inside the U.S. is “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retaliate stateside , ” according to Axios .

prisonplanet--2020-01-03--Iran Has Hezbollah Sleeper Cells in the U.S. Ready to Strike

Iran Has Hezbollah Sleeper Cells in the U.S. Ready to Strike The threat posed by Iran-backed Hezbollah sleeper cells embedded in major American cities has once again come to the fore following the killing of Iran ’ s Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani .
Following last night ’ s assassination of the Iranian military leader , authorities in both New York and Los Angeles announced that they were ramping up security in readiness for possible revenge attacks on U.S. soil .
This is because Iran is known to have placed Hezbollah terrorist sleeper cells throughout not just Europe but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the the criminal prosecution and conviction in New York of the Hezbollah operative Ali Kourani revealed that the terror outfit has already plotted to attack U.S. interests inside the country and is ready to activate if it considers the existence of either Hezbollah or Iran to be at stake .
Following the arrest of Kourani and another Hezbollah operative named Samer el-Debek , the U.S. intelligence community reversed its belief that Hezbollah was unlikely to attempt attacks within the U.S. “ It ’ s our assessment that Hezbollah is determined to give itself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ component of its terrorism playbook , ” said National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen .
“ We in the intelligence community do in fact see continued activity on behalf of Hezbollah here inside the homeland , ” he added .
Hezbollah has never directly attacked the U.S. homeland , but Kourani , working for the Hezbollah-controlled Islamic Jihad Organization , was confirmed to have been conducting surveillance of FBI and U.S. Secret Service offices , as well as a U.S. Army armory and John F. Kennedy International Airport , all in New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States , Kourani served as an operative of Hezbollah in order to help the foreign terrorist organization prepare for potential future attacks against the United States , ” said U.S. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers .
In casing both JFK and Toronto ’ s Pearson International Airport , “ Kourani told the FBI that he provided Hezbollah with details about security procedures , the uniforms worn by security officers , and whether the officers were armed .
His surveillance , Kourani told the FBI , focused on exit points @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baggage claim procedures , and what questions airport screeners asked passengers , ” reported ForeignPolicy.com .
With the world now waiting for Iran ’ s response to Soleimani ’ s killing , we can only hope that it doesn ’ t come in the form of a massive Hezbollah-backed terror attack targeting a major American city .

” “ This Department is committed to ensuring the safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we ask every Angeleno to say something if you see something , ” said a follow up tweet .
“ With New York and Los Angeles preparing for possible terrorist attacks in response to the killing of Soleimani , other major metro areas will likely follow suit , ” reported Zero Hedge .
“ The world has entered uncharted waters on the third day of 2020 .
Anything – including a major attack on US soil – seems possible at the moment.
” It is a widely acknowledged fact that Iran has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ready to carry out retaliatory attacks .
Last year , the London Telegraph reported on how British intelligence services “ believe Iran has organized and funded sleeper terror cells across Europe including the U.K. and could greenlight attacks in response to a conflict in the Gulf.

“ Why Don ’ t They Open The Gates ?
” Erdogan Questions Europe As 250,000 Flee Idlib As Russian and Syrian jets have dramatically stepped up their bombardment of jihadist-held Idlib over the past three weeks , Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has again warned a massive wave of refugees is headed into Turkey , but that his country is without help and thus is seeking to prevent the new influx .
“ Right now , 200,000 to 250,000 migrants are moving toward our borders , ” Erdogan said while addressing a conference in Ankara .
“ We are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it ’ s not easy .
It ’ s difficult , they are humans too.
” This after the UN on Monday said that of Idlib province ’ s some 3 million civilian population , up to 284,000 are currently on the move .
International reports commonly put the current numbers of Syrian refugees hosted by Turkey at about 3.7 million , which Erdogan has of late constantly reminded Europe of as he seeks support for foreign military intervention in places like northeast Syria and now even Libya .
During his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of refugees across all provinces of Turkey at a whopping 5 million — which would be larger than many small countries .
Crucially , during his speech on Thursday , he alluded to his prior threats to “ open the gates ” and allow refugees to flood into Europe , starting with Greece and other Mediterranean nations : While also slamming Arab League member states for not acting , he answered his own question with , “ We are Turkey .
Alone this gives us a power and superiority that nobody has.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ prior provocative threats underscoring that “ Turkey can not handle a fresh wave of migrants from Syria , President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday , warning that European countries will feel the impact of such an influx if violence in Syria ’ s northwest is not stopped , ” as Reuters summarized of the statement .

Haftar ’ s offensive on the capital .
On Thursday , Turkish parliament authorized sending troops to Libya to assist Tripoli in halting Haftar ’ s advance , while Russia has stood on the other side , voicing support of the Benghazi-based leader .
