Red Horse Has Left the Barn
Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran
Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago.
This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area.
The massive war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force".
The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71) and its Carrier Strike Group Two (CCSG-2) are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagon (CVN76) and its Carrier Strike Group Seven (CCSG-7) coming from Japan.They are joining two existing USN battle groups in the Gulf area: the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) with its Carrier Strike Group Nine (CCSG-9); and the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) with its expeditionary strike group.Likely also under way towards the Persian Gulf is the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) and its expeditionary strike group, the UK Royal Navy HMS Ark Royal (R07) carrier battle group, assorted French naval assets including the nuclear hunter-killer submarine Amethyste and French Naval Rafale fighter jets on-board the USS Theodore Roosevelt. These ships took part in the just completed Operation Brimstone.The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars. The intent is to create a US/EU naval blockade (which is an Act of War under international law) around Iran (with supporting air and land elements) to prevent the shipment of benzene and certain other refined oil products headed to Iranian ports. Iran has limited domestic oil refining capacity and imports 40% of its benzene. Cutting off benzene and other key products would cripple the Iranian economy. The neo-cons are counting on such a blockade launching a war with Iran.
The US Naval forces being assembled include the following:
Carrier Strike Group Nine
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) nuclear powered supercarrierwith its Carrier Air Wing TwoDestroyer Squadron Nine:
USS Mobile Bay (CG53) guided missile cruiserUSS Russell (DDG59) guided missile destroyer
USS Momsen (DDG92) guided missile destroyer
USS Shoup (DDG86) guided missile destroyer
USS Ford (FFG54) guided missile frigate
USS Ingraham (FFG61) guided missile frigateUSS Rodney M. Davis (FFG60) guided missile frigate
USS Curts (FFG38) guided missile frigate
Plus one or more nuclear hunter-killer submarines
Peleliu Expeditionary Strike Group
USS Peleliu (LHA-5) a Tarawa-class amphibious assault carrier
USS Pearl Harbor (LSD52) assult shipUSS Dubuque (LPD8) assult ship/landing dock
USS Cape St. George (CG71) guided missile cruiserUSS Halsey (DDG97) guided missile destroyer
USS Benfold (DDG65) guided missile destroyer
Carrier Strike Group Two
USS Theodore Roosevelt (DVN71) nuclear powered supercarrierwith its Carrier Air Wing EightDestroyer Squadron 22
USS Monterey (CG61) guided missile cruiser
USS Mason (DDG87) guided missile destroyer
USS Nitze (DDG94) guided missile destroyer
USS Sullivans (DDG68) guided missile destroyer
USS Springfield (SSN761) nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine
IWO ESG ~ Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group
USS Iwo Jima (LHD7) amphibious assault carrierwith its Amphibious Squadron Fourand with its 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit
USS San Antonio (LPD17) assault shipUSS Velia Gulf (CG72) guided missile cruiser
USS Ramage (DDG61) guided missile destroyer
USS Carter Hall (LSD50) assault shipUSS Roosevelt (DDG80) guided missile destroyerUSS Hartfore (SSN768) nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine
Carrier Strike Group Seven
USS Ronald Reagan (CVN76) nuclear powered supercarrierwith its Carrier Air Wing 14Destroyer Squadron 7
USS Chancellorsville (CG62) guided missile cruiser
USS Howard (DDG83) guided missile destroyerUSS Gridley (DDG101) guided missile destroyer
USS Decatur (DDG73) guided missile destroyer
USS Thach (FFG43) guided missile frigate
USNS Rainier (T-AOE-7) fast combat support ship
Also likely to join the battle armada:
UK Royal Navy HMS Ark Royal Carrier Strike Group with assorted guided missile destroyers and frigates, nuclear hunter-killer submarines and support shipsFrench Navy nuclear powered hunter-killer submarines (likely the Amethyste and perhaps others), plus French Naval Rafale fighter jets operating off of the
USS Theodore Roosevelt as the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle is in dry dock, and assorted surface warshipsVarious other US Navy warships and submarines and support ships.
The following USN ships took part (as the "enemy" forces) in Operation Brimstone and several may join in:USS San Jacinto (CG56) guided missile cruiserUSS Anzio (CG68) guided missile cruiserUSS Normandy (CG60) guided missile cruiserUSS Carney (DDG64) guided missile destroyerUSS Oscar Austin (DDG79) guided missile destroyerUSS Winston S. Churchill (DDG81) guided missile destroyerUSS Carr (FFG52) guided missile frigateThe USS Iwo Jima and USS Peleliu Expeditionary Strike Groups have USMC Harrier jump jets and an assortment of assault and attack helicopters. The Expeditionary Strike Groups have powerful USMC Expeditionary Units with amphibious armor and ground forces trained for operating in shallow waters and in seizures of land assets, such as Qeshm Island (a 50 mile long island off of Bandar Abbas in the Gulf of Hormuz and headquarters of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps).The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US and allied Navies, by front loading a Naval blockade force with very powerful guided missile warships and strike carriers is attempting to have a force so powerful that Russia and China will not be tempted to mess with. This is a most serious game of military brinkmanship with major nuclear armed powers that have profound objections to the neo-con grand strategy and to western control of all of the Middle East's oil supply.The Russian Navy this spring sent a major battle fleet into the Mediterranean headed by the modern aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov and the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet, the Guided Missile Heavy Cruiser Moskva. This powerful fleet has at least 11 surface ships and unknown numbers of subs and can use the Russian naval facility at Syria's Tartous port for resupply. The Admiral Kuznetsov carries approximately 47 warplanes and 10 helicopters. The warplanes are mostly the powerful Su-33, a naval version (with mid-air refueling capability) of the Su-27 family. While the Su-33 is a very powerful warplane it lacks the power of the stealth USAF F-22. However, the Russians insist that they have developed a plasma based system that allows them to stealth any aircraft and a recent incident where Russian fighters were able to appear unannounced over a US Navy carrier battle group tends to confirm their claims. The Su-33 can be armed with the 3M82 Moskit sea-skimming missile (NATO code name SS-N-22 Sunburn) and the even more powerful P-800 Oniks (also named Yakhonts; NATO code name SS-N-26 Onyx). Both missiles are designed to kill US Navy supercarriers by getting past the cruiser/destroyer screen and the USN point-defense Phalanx system by using high supersonic speeds and violent end maneuvers. Russian subs currently use the underwater rocket VA-111 Shkval (Squall), which is fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes and reaches a speed of 360kph (230mph) underwater. There is no effective countermeasures to this system and no western counterpart.A strategic diversion has been created for Russia. The Republic of Georgia, with US backing, is actively preparing for war on South Ossetia. The South Ossetia capital has been shelled and a large Georgian tank force has been heading towards the border. Russia has stated that it will not sit by and allow the Georgians to attack South Ossetia. The Russians are great chess players and this game may not turn out so well for the neo-cons. UPDATE 8 August 2008 ~ War has broken out between Georgia and South Ossetia. At least 10 Russian troops have been killed and 30 wounded and 2 Russian fighter jets downed. American Marines, a thousand of them, have recently been in Georgia training the Georgian military forces. Several European nations stopped Bush and others from allowing Georgia into NATO. Russia is moving a large military force with armor towards the area. This could get bad, and remember it is just a strategic diversion....but one that could have horrific effects. Link to story "Russia sends forces into Georgia rebel conflict". FURTHER UPDATE ~ Russian military forces in active combat; now total of four Russian fighter jets reported downed. ADDITIONAL UPDATE ~ Georgia calls for US help; Russian Air Force bombs Georgian air bases. DEBKA, the Israeli strategy and military site, states that Israeli military officers are advising the Georgian armed forces in combat operations and that 1,000 Israelis are in-combat on the side of Georgia at this time. Kuwait has activated its "Emergency War Plan" as it and other Gulf nations prepare for the likelihood of a major regional war in the Middle East involving weapons of mass destruction.The two-ton elephant in the living room of the neo-con strategy is the advanced biowar (ABW) that Iran, and to a lessor extent Syria, has. This places the motherlands of the major neo-con nations (America, France, the United Kingdom), as well as Israel, in grave danger. When the Soviet Union fell the Iranians hired as many out-of-work former Soviet advanced biowar experts as possible. In the last 15 or so years they have helped to develop a truly world class ABW program utilizing recombination DNA genetic engineering technology to create a large number of man made killer viruses. This form of weapon system does not require high tech military delivery systems. The viruses are sub-microscopic and once seeded in a population use the population itself as vectors. Seeding can be done without notice in shopping malls, churches, and other public places. The only real defense to an advanced global strategic biowar attack is to lock down the population as rapidly as possible and let those infected die off.Unless the public gets it act together and forces the neo-cons to stop the march to yet another war in the Middle East we are apt to see a truly horrific nightmare unfold in OUR COUNTRIES.StirlingDo something about this ~ email this article to as many of your friends as possible and post it on as many sites as possible, demand that your political leaders stop this nonsense before it kills us all. The response of average people all over the world in emailing this article to friends and posting it on blogs and web sites everywhere is totally amazing. It is a real happening that I don't think has ever happened to this extent before. People, please start demanding of your elected leaders in Parliament/Congress that they oppose what is happening. The world is sliding into war as the war leaders hide behind the main stream media's attention focused on the Olympics. Demand that your local newspapers, television and radio stations begin giving real coverage to what is happening in Russia/Georgia and the Middle East. Do something while you still can. I am working on a new article: 08/08/08 THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES AND WORLD WAR III see this site for the article soon.Blog EUROPE ~ homeScottish barony title for sale ~ linkThe Earl of Stirling is available for public speaking engagements ~ earlofstirling@yahoo.com

Second source on prelude to WWIII

I see the USS Abraham Lincoln is already there.....
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about the vision you posted about that less than a week ago....
Interesting that mr Neuman saw an aircraft carrier hit and destroyed in the P.G. before there was even one built by that name.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to ignore something like that.
It does seem that the US is fast asleep at the games and unaware of the growing danger.
MSM is keeping the sheeple tranqualized.
Bush has not done much more than tell his Puttiepoot to 'stop it' or I won't be your friend anymore!
I sent the article to Jim in Cyprus .
His response ;
It is Ninth of Av and that quite likely may go down as the start of WWIII. Russia has gone for the West's Jugular.
Hizballah only had about 10000 missles that had Hifa in range when they launched on Israel last time. Now under the watchful eye of the UN fox on guard of the Hizballah hen house they have 40000 with TelAviv in range and some very formidable air defense toys.
Damascus has done its utmost to keep their TOP general's death under wraps - NOT a good signal - most likely meaning war prep completion for combined Lebanon-Syria-Iran backed full scale Israel anihilation. Russia's Iranian & Arab surrogates are ready to go.
What might the price of a barell of 130 crude go to tomorrow with the main Georgia BP pipeline to the most of the refineries of Europe shut down by Russia? Looks like it is going to get real bad real fast now. DAYS OF AWE for sure.
Only be very strong and of good courage. Stay IN the Word.
Bush, Cheney lash out at Russia over Georgia crisis
ReplyDeletehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26124396
They sound mad...
Perhaps they will send Vlad to detention or shoot some rubber bands or spitballs at him if he really angers them?
I think to save empire face the U.S. will have to act so as not to appear to be a paper tiger.
ReplyDeleteAlready Georgia is saying hte west has let them down with empty words and America's many allies like Israel are taking note of how the U.S. helps her allies in great distress.
Pride leads to destruction.
Looks like WWIII is in the air.
Have your radiation pills at hand.
I didn't post your link to S.F.
She's not reliable and is more of a Tokyo Rose with her dis-information and so many false reports over the years.
I listened to both sides of this Georgia ,Russia war

and am reminded from the book of James how pride,lust leads to war.
There are no winners ,only losers and even so ,Come quickly Lord Jesus before they completely destroy the earth !
It is Ninth of Av and that quite likely may go down as the start of WWIII. Russia has gone for the West's Jugular.
ReplyDeleteTisha B'Av, the Fast of the Ninth of Av, is a day of mourning to commemorate the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people, many of which coincidentally have occurred on the ninth of Av.
Tisha B'Av means "the ninth (day) of Av." It usually occurs during August.
Tisha B'Av will occur on the following days on the American calendar:
July 24, 2007 (Jewish Year 5767)
August 10, 2008 (Jewish Year 5768)
July 30, 2009 (Jewish Year 5769)
July 20, 2010 (Jewish Year 5770)
August 9, 2011 (Jewish Year 5771)

I hear ya about S.F. Thats why I said *Rumor of war*
ReplyDeleteAfter looking high and low I found that I can't find the article anywhere else.....
Definately not a regular reader of her site :)
Maybe her and David Icke should get married?
Here is more credible info:

I thought Sorcha was Icky David in drag ?
ReplyDeleteI think Ron Paul has it wrong about the U.S. heading into an illegal war.
It's much,much worse,it's the red horse of Revelation 6:4 and the resultant tribulation period.
The big boys are finally going to use their big toys and what I have been saying about Bush being judgment on America will finally sink in with the deluded Christian's and Jew's who saw him as their lesser of two evil's messiah.
http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=5499
The 9th of Av passed without a big boom so what is the casual observer supposed to think? I see the handwriting on the wall and my spirit is really uneasy right now. I cant explain the nervousness any other way but thinking something big is about to break loose?
ReplyDeleteIs the 9th of Av just a one day occurence or is it that whole week that is at risk? Sorry for my ignorance of the topic.
RP
No need to be sorry.I do believe Jesus has been trying to prepare His sheep but sadly too many have been busy at the manuree pile,holding onto their idols and follwoing lies.
ReplyDeleteSomething big is about to break and I don't think the Lord iwll hold it back this time.
Too many shpis heading to the choke point straits of hormuz and Putin is going to teach Bush a lesson on how to win at Chess ,Russian style.
No Texas hold em here.
We have real peace in the Lord in the midst of what is coming and what will be.
We're aliens and our citizenship is not here. If it is that we have reason to worry and fear.
MY FAITH IS NOT IN THE GODLESS FOOLS WHO RULE AMERICA and so I am at peace and look to Jesus for my help.
I wrote a few weeks ago that I saw a window between the end of July into October ****Yom Kippur
It's the season ,the FALL.
I was looking at the leaves on some of my fig and peach tree's dying and falling last week and it seems we are in that season in a major way.
It's also a reality that the Church and most of America won't know what hit them as I also see this as rapid,suddent destruction ala Putin.
It won't be long and drawn out.
Yes sir.
ReplyDeleteI think the U.S. should have hired Russia to fight the war in Iraq for them. It would have been over years ago......
Our leaders blinded by pride told us Russia was no longer a threat and that we had won the cold war.
ReplyDeleteThe arrogant fool Bush decided to park the empires army in Iraq close to the oil fields of the Perisan Gulf.
I think that Putin wants to checkmate us, knowing neither Bush nor the E.U. is in no position to stop him ,only to talk and talk some more.
Without oil we're finished.
The U.N. has had 5 emergency sessions and accomplished nothing as usual.
The flash point is the Persian Gulf and Iran ,I think.
It will be a cold winter for the Europrean's and the U.S.
