US Navy Sends Aircraft Carrier, Warships To Intercept Iranian Weapons Shipments In Yemeni Waters
Update: Because the report from AP does not play well with "Everyday Americans", US CentCom is denying:
- *U.S. DENIES REPORT SHIP SENT TO INTERCEPT IRAN VESSEL
- *U.S. SAYS SHIP SENT TO KEEP SHIPPING LANES IN REGION OPEN
The 'proxy' war is escalating very rapidly. As AP reports, Navy officials confirm that the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is headed to Yemeni waters to intercept an Iranian weapons shipments. Just as we warned 10 days ago, the probability of a major escalation over the latest proxy Middle Eastern civil war escalated substantially when Iran parked two warships off the Yemeni coast.
As AP details,
U.S. Navy officials say the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is steaming toward the waters off Yemen and will join other American ships prepared to intercept any Iranian vessels carrying weapons to the Houthi (HOO'-thee) rebels fighting in Yemen.
The U.S. Navy has been beefing up its presence in the Gulf of Aden and the southern Arabian Sea amid reports that a convoy of Iranian ships may be headed toward Yemen to arm the Houthis.
The Houthis are battling government-backed fighters in an effort to take control of the country.
There are about nine U.S. ships in the region, including cruisers and destroyers carrying teams that can board and search other vessels.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ship movement on the record.

As the following Naval update map shows, the two Iran warships will now be located in the immediate vicinity of not only two US aircraft carriers, CVN-71 Teddy Roosevelt and CVN-70 Vinson, but well as the big-deck amphibious warship Iwo Jima which as reported before is providing marine support should the situation demand it.
All of this means the odds of a naval "accident" involving one or more warships in the Red Sea just went up substantially.

Those who "Commissioned" various versions of The Bible, did so for reasons, and those reasons may not necessarily have been entirely altruistic. It is pretty well-accepted that the KJV version was "adjusted", shall we say, to "reflect" the ideas / aspirations / desired rule of one King James - who rather considered himself to be an "expert" on Witchcraft, and as James VI of Scotland, gained a fearsome reputation for purges "North of the Border"., and was the author of "Daemonology".
So, seeing as things were pretty much as controlled in "those days" as now, it's really no surprise to find that, just maybe, the "Official Translation" might not be "absolutely" accurate.
See - http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/james-I-witchcraft.htm
How I regret never having read the Greek and Aramaic versions of the Bible. But I was too busy having fun.
Oh the shame.
So you are ZH's self-annointed expert on the comings and goings of God.
An expert who happens to remind everybody here of Jim Jones.
No, thank you, Seek Truth. I won't be having any of your cool-aid today. And ever.
the bible predicted nothing - some of its devotees - bibliomancers - have acted in accordance with its dictates.
The Old Testaments is little more than a justification for racism and violence, and a how-to manual to fuck "outsiders" out of their money and belongings.
I've read it - have you?
here - learn something: http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/
Funny how you bounce around between websites that support the Bible, and others that denounce it. It's all a matter of whether it fits your agenda, am I right? Or am I right?
Jesus Christ fulfilled prophecies written about Him hundreds of years before He walked this Earth. For example this one (written almost 600 years before) in Isaiah chapter 53:
1Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8By oppressiona and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.b
9He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makesc his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11After he has suffered,
he will see the light of lifed and be satisfiede ;
by his knowledgef my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,g
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,h
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
The Pharisees may have hijacked Jesus and made a pathological religion ostensibly in worship of him, but they never did manage to cover up the corpse stench that comes from their mouths.
The Pharisees are the Synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9; 3:9), whom Jesus denounced.
The two are diametrically opposed.
PS- It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. - Mark Twain
Ein Narr, wenn er schwiege, würde auch weise gerechnet und verständig, wenn er das Maul hielte.
stultus quoque si tacuerit sapiens putabitur et si conpresserit labia sua intellegens
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
- Proverbs 17:28.
And that is likely where Mr Twain got the basis for his famous quote.
Well, I'll just have to go on trusting my own lying eyes; trusting my own lying judgment; and heeding my own lying spirit. I guess it comes as an alien attitude to SOME on Zero Hedge, but my life experiences suggest to me that the pompous and arrogant authorities who grant themselves the right to do all your thinking and interpreting for you do not always have your best interests at heart - strangely enough.
" pompous and arrogant authorities who grant themselves the right to do all your thinking and interpreting for you do not always have your best interests at heart"
Once again, you assume way too much.
Or do you actually refer to the the Bible, Jesus Christ, YHWH, and the Holy Spirit as " pompous and arrogant authorities who grant themselves the right to do all your thinking and interpreting for you do not always have your best interests at heart"????
You should stop assuming you know so much.
Those who tell me what I should or must believe are the spiritual version of grease-haired used car salesmen. I've read a very, very extensive collection of divinely inspired texts from scores of world religions, and I reserve the right to listen to my own discernment about how and which to believe, rather than allow myself to get harangued or intimidated into sectarian dogma.
And exactly who is this, that has "harangued or intimidated [you] into sectarian dogma"?
You are just loaded with assumptions.
And you're just loaded with pompous, self-righteous God crap.
You are holier than everybody else at ZH.
Self-proclaimed, of course.
Remember, when you point a finger, you've got three pointing back at you.
okay. that's the best you can up with. why am I not surprised?
you're not right. The bible is horseshit fiction. what sites that "support the bible" you lunatic?
A source may be reliable on one thing but not on another.
Jesus, do you even know the first thing about recent archaelogy in Israel - the patent falsehoods of the book of Joshua?
Not maybe - clear proof that descriptions in the bible are fiction.
Do you want to know the Truth, or are you mostly interested in defending what you already think is true?
I'm genuinely asking.
And try reading the links.
Here is a website that supports (for the most part)the correct interpretation of the Bible (you quoted it yesterday):
https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/is-america-cursed/
It is true that a source may be reliable on one thing but not on another.
There are no “patent falsehoods of the book of Joshua.” You are jumping to conclusions that will be proven false, just as many others have.
There is nothing fictional about the Bible.
The 66 books of the Bible were written:
On three continents.
In three languages.
By about 40 different people (kings, shepherds, prophets, an army general, fishermen, priests, physician, etc).
Over a period of about 1,500 years.
On the most controversial subjects.
By people who, in most cases, had never met.
By authors whose education and background varied greatly.
Yet it tells a completely cohesive story, all based on the same theme, of mankind’s fall, and the Love God showed by sending His son as a sacrifice to buy the souls of all men wishing to be redeemed.
And what is required to be redeemed?
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
Only a book breathed by God could meet the above criteria, and there is no other book like it.
It is The Word Of God.
I will turn that question right back at you- Do you want to know the Truth, or are you mostly interested in defending what you already think is true?
I'm genuinely asking.
PS- you might want to stop assuming so much- you don’t know who you are speaking to, let alone what one has read.
And I am genuinely telling you
You guys better get to work. You've got a lot of catching up to do.
Shouldn't all "war" ships be named "Michael the Archangel" (1, 2 -> 5002)
my confirmation name and patron saint - I suspect, that, if real, Michael would be against Israel bombing hospitals and dropping flechette shells on women and children.
For example.
Actually I'm sure of it.
I have it on good authority (my uncle) that the ship is merely being sent to fix a plumbing problem. It should be completed in 6 months.
We will bomb and kill and destroy and keep it going for years; then piss our pants and run away leaving a huge mess like we always do. It is time to get out and stay out! Please!
This war is starting to look less proxy-ish.
Who's going to stop the usa gun runners?
Won't somebody please get the Saudis, Rumsfeld and Cheney for taking down the WTCs?
All consideration appreciated.

Religious fanatics are hysterical thanks to the sermons coming at them - Something about Jesus returning. I personally work with a woman who has packed up her belongings and her and her middle aged diabetic sister have moved up to the top of a mountain in Colorado to meet him half way. She is so overwhelmed with this coming of Christ that she cannot concentrate on her job (telecommunication - health information) and is leaving it altogether. I think they are, at this very moment, cooking supper for when he arrives.
The preaches spewing this garbage should be hung publicly for misleading their congregations.

"I’m proud to support Israel, America’s longtime friend and ally in the Middle East.
"Israeli cafés and buses are bombed, towns are victimized by hundreds of rockets, and its citizens are attacked by Palestinian terrorists.
"It’s time we took a stand for Israel by standing up to the enemies of Israel, the enemies that murder Israeli citizens.
"That’s why I proposed a bill called the “Stand with Israel Act” to cut off the flow of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority.
"As long as the Palestinian Authority is allied with Hamas not one more tax dollar should flow to them."

rand is a major disappointment on so many levels.
But Oblah-blah said Iran was our friend and he wants to give them a thermonuclear weapons and take guns away from the scary white folks instead.... so, why is Mr Obama sending great big intimidating boats against Iran?
When they teach this shit in future history there isn't going to be any.
Are you actually a retarded person, or what?
1917
"Helping to keep shipping lanes open," coincidentally, requires the interception of any vessel supplying weapons to the Houthi.
Keeping Shipping lanes open for those shipments approved by the US is what they mean.
'lily pads' are soooo 20th century'
?
I can just see the headlines..."Carnival cruise ship filled with Americans sunk of Yemen coast..Obama declares war"
Just be sure to evacuate all American babies in incubators before the war starts. They are likely targets of the iranian Mongol hordes. Goddam savages.
"Obama wins a SECOND Peace Prize!"
Just Obama making sure that Iranian weapons, materiel, and jihadis make it safe and sound to their operating bases. Obama using American military to support teh world's largest terror supporting state, Iran.
The leading terror supporting states are the Americans, Saudis, and Israelis.

As for you....paid hasbarat or not, you're a fucking idiot.

The three players ISIS hasn't gone near
Because the really good Muslims love the USA, KSA and Israel. Only the bad ones do not like them.
ISIS are good fundamentalists Mulsims. Not like those Iranian wanna be Muslims.
Shia s are pussies.
Internet tough guy. Your mom make your sphagetti-o's with swastikas you fucking nazi cunt?
ROFL@you.
The US wouldn't false flag (sink) the Teddy so that they can start a war, would they?
we know JSIL would.
You got to be one of the many muslims or muslim sympathizers who hang around here
you are trolling for Islam fool.
nothing but stupid anti Israel crap
take responsibiltiy for your own crap hole
you calling others trolls, that's a good one.
anti Israel crap
Now that's an oxymoron for you
No.
That's Moosad's job.
ValJar, Obama and Iran are all on the same page.
Defense official says US warships have no specific mission to intercept Iranian arms shipments - @ReutersPerfect time of year for a false flag.
I hope the wait till the white bass run.is over

American Government leaves their own behind in Yemen and treats ethnic non-white Americans like shit.They'll all have their heads cut off if caught.That's the way it works.

Stupid. Don't send US carrier to Yemen, send it to Iran.
I'm a little confused - what exactly is the legal basis for a US naval vessel stopping an Iranian-flagged ship from docking at a port in Yemen?
U S Government is not bound by laws
Force majeure.
I guess they will ignore the North Korea shipments as usual.

Like it or not the US must stop them.
aw let them-ANYTHING to knock Israel down a notch or 5...
Kidding aside, the biggest threat to those sailors are the Israelis, looking to get another war going, premised on another ruse, to further THE ODED YINON PLAN.
Really,
Israel screw up was intentional?
US Sinking Russia sub Kursk was a mistake?
How does this fit into your zioconspiracy BS?

And who thinks that an Iranian ship is going to voluntarily stop to be boarded? I doubt a 'shot across the bow' will stop them. So is the intent to tell US ships to fire on Iranian ships? That will play well - with live streaming video!
The U.S must be preparing to attack the Yemeni rebels the way that they attacked the Syrian rebels by bombing the legitimate Syrian government by "accident".
Formula seems right same playbook as the fight against ISIS feign an attack against ISIS while supplying, training, and supporting them.
This differs from what the U.S. is doing in Yemen as they the U.S. is only supplying and supporting the Yemeni rebels.
By the way does anyone know; If there is a discredited, exiled, war criminal sociopath Yemeni monarch puppet living somewhere in Europe or elsewhere that the U.S. is preparing to install as the "rightful" heir the throne, podium, altar, parliament .....etc.
Perhaps it is another thinly veiled attempt by the US to provoke Russia into a fight?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation
I told yall the other day that Russia, USA, KSA, Israel and China are all in on it. When the Mideast is totally engulfed in flames, the USA and Russia tells the rest of the world: "Your oil and gas needs are belong to us". Eu is busy with bodies washing up and the Grexit. "It's a big fucking club and you ain't in it!".
Wrong:
1-USA (and its allies UK, KSA, EU, Israel, etc on one side). Iran (and its allies Russia, China and probably India, etc) on the other side of the rapidly approaching WWIII, which will be fought by boots on the ground (Air and Naval superiority will be made null shortly into the conflict). And the winner will be the latter, not the former.
2- It' a small, tiny club. And you still ain't in it.
George Carlin, a man far ahead of his time, may he rest in peace.

American ships prepared to intercept any Iranian vessels carrying weapons to the Houthi (HOO'-thee) rebels fighting in Yemen.
Well, those Iranian warships do have weapons mounted on them and they are moving from place to place, ergo : Iranian vessels carrying weapons.....not such a leap after all,
