With The Enterprise Just 4 Days Away From Arrival, A SWIFT Cut Off Of Iran
Update: as we hit print, we see headlines that the UK will cooperate with the US on bilateral agreement to release oil stocks. Crude down big on the news, which is merely an advance move ahead of almost inevitable war with Iran, simply to make the spike more palatable.
The push to get Iran to do something terminally irrational (now that USS Enterprise in its final tour of duty is almost on location just off the side of CVN-70 Lincoln and CVN-72 Vinson in the Arabian Sea, where the US will shortly have not one, not two, but three aircraft carriers) is now in its final stretch. As AP reported earlier, Iran has been now entirely cut off from the global financial system, as that anchor of international financial transactions, SWIFT, has just taken Iran off the grid. This leaves Iran with just three options for international trade: making gold into a fully convertible currency, barter, or exchanging Rials for Renminbi and other local currencies.
From the AP:
The SWIFT global financial transaction service said Thursday that it was cutting ties with Iranian banks that are subject to European Union sanctions aimed at discouraging the country from developing nuclear weapons.
The action effectively enforces EU sanction because the world's financial transactions are impossible without using SWIFT, and it will go a long way toward isolating Iran financially.
The company's name stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is a banking hub crucial to oil, financial transactions and other trades.
In a statement, SWIFT said the EU decision "prohibits companies such as SWIFT to continue to provide specialized financial messaging services to EU-sanctioned banks."
"Disconnecting banks is an extraordinary and unprecedented step for SWIFT," Lazaro Campos, chief executive of SWIFT, said. "It is a direct result of international and multilateral action to intensify financial sanctions against Iran."
In other words: Iran, please do your worst. And just to make it easier, the US has now stacked an entire armada of easy targets in close vicinity, which not even a naive fool can mistake anymore for prewar preparations.
Here is what the naval picture in the Arabian Sea looked like most recently, where courtesy of Stratfor we can see that not only is CVN-65 full steam ahead to its final date with history somewhere off the shores of Iran, but that LHD8 Makin Island crossed the Straits of Hormuz recently. Just because.
Virtually the entire non-parked naval fleet will be in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf in the next 4-6 days, where 3 aircraft carriers and one big-deck amphibious warfare ship are just waiting for the order.

Who would win in a MMA fight between
Putin
vs.
Obama, Biden and Gingrich.
That's funny, because Putin works out, lift weights, and so on. I saw a picture of him without his shirt on and he's fairly ripped for a guy his age. He would snap beanpole Obama in two, pick up Gingrich and throw him against the octagon. Biden he would just do one of those no-look, raise your forearm and knock him out kind of moves.
Exactly - not to get off topic... but he is also a black belt in judo?
Anyway - he would destroy the three of them in a 'handicap' match - King Kong Bundy WWF style...
If all 3 attacked Vlad @ the same time, he'd still kick there asses.
@ least Putin uses the oil proceeds for Russia's benefit AND the Russians make most of their shitty products themselves. He's pro-Russian while our politicians are opro-multi national corporations.
That's bs--he's not standing up for the little guy in Russia, he looks out for oligarchs.
Putin has black belt in Judo. Even has a book out about Judo. He will bust all of them together.
Here is the book:
http://www.amazon.com/Judo-History-Practice-Vladimir-Putin/dp/1556434456
it would be a proxy war. Russia could simply sell their wares to Iran and have Iran play the part of korea, nam, etc..
And that is exactly how it will play out. It will be like Afghanistan 1980 but in reverse. No nukes, just lots of Stingers (or the Russian equivalent), IED's, and so on.
They brought out the Old War Nut Mccain a few days ago so you know it's on ! Bombing Syria is next. A sound plan according to the Nut.
Maybe our peace president will command our fighting forces (who've been kicked out) to exit their respective countries and move towards each other to engage in a symbolic photo-op where soldiers from each side high five in the middle of Tehran while others tear down statues and hang US flags over the faces of Ayatollah's. Then we win the hearts of the people. .... PROFIT?!
In a cracking-with-old-age Saruman voice: "To waaaaar!"
sounds better coming from the ABC Warrior of Judge Dredd movie
we see headlines that the UK will cooperate with the US on bilateral agreement to release oil stocks.
Didnt know the UK had any reserves-- riding the coatails of the ussa.
Again lets release oil that was paid for with taxpayer funds and sell it to the lowest bidder AGAIN sews they can sell it back to the taxpayer AGAIN.
What you mean that Star Trek, Captain Kirk and Spock are real, and the Enterprise is full Apple products that need replacing! Now the market move makes sense. :)
They (read: TPTB) are looking for something onto which to pin the upcoming second act of the global economic meltdown.
This has always been the plan. "Well, the economic recovery was running along smoothly, until Iran/North Korea/Mars had to come and mess things up."
It's almost as if the Government wants to have all members of the military stationed 12 time zones away, excluding for the National Guard, and Coast Guard of course.
Something wicked this way comes.
go on....
A domestic event could spark gasoline hoarding in the US. If blame focuses on Iran instead of Saudi Arabia; public critique of Operation Iranian Liberation would be supressed.
The Enterprise would be a "casualty" of war not a Gulf of Tonkin.
The more casulties, the closer the sheep stay to the sheppherd.
Walk publicly and swing a huge staff.
Edit: grammar
just imagining. . .
should a trrrrrrst *false flag* event happen when "all members of the military stationed 12 time zones away" would the reciprocal arrangement with Canada's military leave them "no choice" but to deploy "humanitarian" troops in the Homeland?
of course, there's always the mercanary contractors. . .
If Obama really cares about college basketball, he'll wait until after the tourney, dontcha think?
Surprised the Mullahs haven't offered Obama(D) a traditional Hudna - kind of late for one.
Unless they know he truely understands what a Hudna is.
PS: Assad....dude.....duuuuude....take the deal.
george bush's twin, the merchant of death, is about ready to murder more people for his agrandizing imperial arrogance...

Tune into the expanded planetary consciousness. Non-resistance is the key. Direct your energy toward what you want. Keep your thoughts and intentions on the world we want to see. Peace, love, health and goodwill. The old will fall away.
The old will fall away but we've got to be strong enough to protect our own lives and secure our own homes when that happens.
Granny used to say, be careful what you say and think about things and people.
We have seen more and more people wake up from the slumber of the matrix and for this we are thankful.
We ALL have an integral voice in what is to come, or not. There are many here that CAN make a difference in the big picture because in truth, it only takes one person to change history. Spoken from a place of experience.
Right after 9/11 we found out about the remote controlled planes, and that bit of information was the explosion of the info-war.
http://engforum.pravda.ru/index.php?/topic/204867-joe-vialls-home-run-el...
We have planted the seeds of awareness ever since and now, many more people see the beast for what it is and are understanding that there are only two powers of the one hydra in the world. The rothschilds who own all the eastern oil, and the rockefellers, who own all the western oil. All the underling minions fall under this combined point on the pyramidic command and control structure.
What they have not calculated into the formula is the massive sublime spiritual awakening that IS more that they can control. People are discovering fast that what is real is of the heart, and not of the temporal material world in which we are just merely passing through to learn more lessons to take to the next life time. You could ask, what is a secret of life? And answer rightly, preparing for the next, one day at a time and being in the place of Karmic Credit, rather than in Karmic debt all things being relative. The laws of the universe that are carved in spiritual stone will never change and always be. There is NO deviation from this truth, or the massive amounts of other truths that are pouring forth daily. The zio-media propaganda gate keeping whores are fast losing the control they have wielded over the last 50 years. This scares them babylonians and so a control of free speech is in the works. The babalonic house of money-changers and oil oligarchs is falling fast and they need to implement the final solution war plan as soon as they can before losing complete control over the mass mind that is on to them and stirring the awakening giant that WILL make the difference when crunch time comes.
Here is a very real read and what is actually happening. So well put are these words. Please read them and understand the real Earth intel report:

Fuck this banked owned, one world government, bitch ass country....
FUCKING BULLSHIT MAN!!!!
WHAT R WE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS SHIT PEOPLE!!!!!
Answer to question:
The same thing we've done since the early 1900s - label any and all protestors and dissidents as commies/liberals/terrorists.
Then so fuckin b it...
Ive had it with this shit...bring it FBI, HOMELAND SECURITY....FUCK U ALL.....
When those people that don't care are personally effected, then they'll want to "do something".
If U can get out of the US, U should do it. When the land U live in betrays U, there's no shame in saving your skin if the people don't care about their own country.
The USA is a foreign country to people that believe in freedom, self-determination, the Constitution, ...
Good luck in whatever U choose.
Nothing. It doesn't affect most people. Most people I know could care less.
They think there's a recovery - "Why would the government lie about all this?"
I was around when the Stragic Oil Reserve was set up and I seem to remember that the only way the USA got OPEC to sell them the oil was a solemn promise that the reserve would never be used to affect prices but would only be used in case of shortages. Guess promises made that long ago don't mean much now.
just ask the Chinese about their gold from the 30's and all those "now counterfeit" 60 year gold bonds that keep showing up.
When the Big E goes through the ditch, we'll know it's heading there. No U turns in the ditch!
Good we need another war. Because the war in Afghanistan is going so well.
I have been a NAVY man for most of my life, to see 3!!!! Carriers at the same time in the same pleace with as much as 3!!! Fighter Squdrons on each....this is not just for show folks, SHIT IS GETTING ULTRA REAL!
"Hit the tires and light the fires, boys"!
...TOO BAD ITS FOR NOTHING BUT GREEDY OUT OF CONTROL GEEZERS!
Here comes a draft for sure! All males under the age of 26, report for duty to defend your country! Right after the election of course.
No draft.. 1% of this country cannot take risk.
No draft, I agree.
Mercenaries.
The derivatives bomb explodes on March 20/21. How many want to bet that the Iran war starts then. TPTB will need a distration for the bank holidays, riots, and martial law that are surely coming. BTW, anyone notice the new law that protesting in or around a govt building will now be a felony?
March 19th. They seem to love march 19th.
New moon on the 22nd, too:
http://www.moonconnection.com/moon-march-2012.phtml
Yes I agree 21/22nd it is likely to be
fuck, and i just paid my bills for the rest of the month
should have stocked up even more than i already am
21 March= Nowrouz, Persian New Year. The biggest holiday on the Iranian calendar.
Hopefully some day soon, the military will wake up and understand that they have been tricked into serving Satan and that they need to re-evaluate their priorities and thought processes if they want to have a country and countrymen left after Barry O..
Already happening. Admiral Fallon resigned in 2007 over US policy towards Iran. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dempsey says that Iran has no nukes and an attack would be a mistake. And more active duty soldiers and sailors support Ron Paul than any of his rivals.
Instead of resigning, they should be defending their country against threats, both foreign and domestic.
You could enlist and then do what you are recommending to others.
Brave men and women of the armed forces were disarmed before seeing Leon Panetta yesterday in Afghanistan. Here goes your trust with your braves and brightests.

No port calls in Naples?

And exactly how much are all of these "war games" costing the American public?! While counties, states and federal govt go broke along with the consumer, somehow there is is an endless amount of money to support further wars, occupation and even rebuilding of other countries: welcome to the 21st century where insanity rules!
"welcome to the 21st century where insanity rules!"
You are out of line! Please go back to watching your regularly scheduled digital TV Programing.

What is real is that this "insanity" has worked twice before, why not a third time for the final solution?
Were you underground in your Wyoming COG-bunker ready to live your life out for the rest of the days, would you care about the surface biology?
According to the plans that have been in front of everyone's faces for years and years, everything is on schedule.
Check it out to see if there is any deviation from these plans.:

Nope, nothing is off schedule, but there sure are a lot more of these insane conspiracy folks that seem to think world peace is normal.
.
What concerns me is that we have a boat-load of naval assets in one place. And that's not counting the subs that no one sees until they start launching missiles. Why position SO MUCH naval firepower in one location unless you were either prepared to sacrifice something or start something? THis is not sabre rattling, this is kicking in the door with a SWAT tank at 1 am screaming get on the floor asshole before I shoot you!
That's how we got the Japanese to attack us at Pearl Harbor. We needed a reason to enter WWII. History repeats itself, only a little quicker this time.
I've read where the USS Indianapolis flag ship pulled out of Pearl the night before Pearl was bombed.
and how many "human assets" were in place and sacraficed on 9-11 ?
Well, what will be really interesting is, how will they spin this fear energy among the sheeple for the next nine months, or until after the elections?
Will it be a lot of BOOOOOOOO-gie man yelling from the zio-media propaganda?
Or, what if what is being said around that "there will NOT be an attack until after the election" is just another lie from the puppet usurper blabbermouth horn? Who said what any how? If as this FEAR Propagenda energy progresses along, and much to do is raised over the march to war we see more and more of the international chess pieces coming into play as "wolf" is repeated so many times people become immune to the term, the imminent trigger may be pulled to start this last war.
Popcorn...peanuts...hot dogs...cotton candy....
Methinks this upcoming cleansing of Iran is the grand finale, the end goal, of the 911 false flag executed 11 years ago...

Bilderberg Group and the crimes against humanity.
This is how things work in all countries. Whatever used to belong to their people, today it belongs to the multinational companies of the Club. People were betrayed by their given leaderships and they lost everything. Capitals and markets were handed to the Club bosses. If you understand what is going on in Greece, you can understand what is going on in Britain, France, and Germany etc..

again, just another of tyler's projective tests
there are some BiCheZ seriously hanging outa their picture frames, here!
that bilary's latest "foreign policy sabre-rattling" was most recently enunciated by one of putin's ministers seems to have escaped them...
thanks, tyler!
Big E will arrive too late for the Ides of March, but it's highly likely that this year's Rites of Spring will be... interesting.
From the pages of Culture Machine, Vol 7(2005)
Conditioned for 20 years(since the time of the 1st Gulf War) to believe in and fear a faceless enemy called ISLAMIC terrorism, the Euromerikan zone has been readied to inflict mortal damage upon itself -it's cultural immune system, no longer able to determine friend from foe, has begun to attack it's own homeostatic system, and create real enemies from imagined ones.
*Voodoo Death American Anthropologist 1942 - "Cannon explored cases in which fear spirals out of control, generating damaging physiological effects. Cannon was particularly fascinated by the prospect of offering a scientific explanation of deaths which occurred after the victim being subjected to a sorcerer's spell, or 'hex'; death from fear. The superstitional systems constituted a set of virtual (yet real) thresholds, which, when crossed, unleashed a fatal affective power 'through unmitigated terror' (1942: 170)"
Guess we better hope that Persian dna is less suseptible to the "{metastable autonomic tendencies}" triggered by conditioned fear-aka cabbalist hex technology - or we all be headin down the River Styx on a houseboat named DEATH LIVES~!
+1
"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!"
Answer to the question, how did we get to this stage? In the book "How do you kill 11 million people" the answer is you lie. The book also makes note of the fact that it isn't the stupid leadership's fault, it's the stupid electorates fault. We all piss and moan. What are you actually doing about this. I venture, nothing. When you finally get past the point of mental gymnastics on this blog and actually take a stand, it will be too late. Good luck.
bad time to be hanging out next to wayward drones
I hope Iran blows Israhell off the face of the earth. The people in Israel better GTFO. They are going to be crispy critters. Anyone notice how the muslim brotherhood just passed a law through parliament cutting diplomatic ties with the zionist pigs?
No attack now, just show of force. Didn't you get the Hillary memo?
If so, attack in June-Sept. Watch what happens in Syria, for fall of Assad = the signal.
Tora Tora Tora!
Different day in history -- same game plan.
We need some Bush.
:Old vulture says to young vulture looking over a dying world..."Patients my young one, I'm going to kill something."
The U.S. will not do anything to Iran. Isreal will. NATO (the U.S) will do Syria...
an all out war with iran
the 'bill of rights' will be shredded here in the good-ole-ussa, with curfews, unwarranted arrest/incarceration of all muslim communities, lock-downs of public bldg.'s, weapons/firearm confiscations, nat'l guards at every street corner, etc., etc.,...
these will all come to pass
in a decades +/+ time since 911, the u.s. has-been/ will-be, turned into a gulag of repression, where the only means of communication will be msm or a short-wave-radio
jmo
And nothing is going to happen. If there's a shooting war, the American military loses it's aura of invincibility the first time an aircraft carrier is sunk, which can't be prevented. The USA will do nothing.
Iran loses the support of its Arab neighbors as they lose the ability to ship oil, pay exorbitant insurance rates for their oilfield assets and keep peace at home with money. Iran will do nothing.
It's a lose-lose proposition here. For my money, the whole thing is for domestic consumption on both sides. Elections are coming up, you know.
Cheers!
SWIFT: Somebody Wants Iran F'ing Targeted
Fear of US as a monster has vanished already. 10 years for a supper, unbeatable monster to eliminate few hundred ragtag Afghans, is a joke. These aircraft carriers may prove a sitting ducks in front of ship buster Iranian cruise missile, which fly only 3 feet above the sea level. US should keep these aircraft carriers away from IRAN and leave their terror in tact.
This sure looks like a war that will begin before the election despite what they say. Israel probably said "we're doing it......and you better be there or else."
i felt odd rating this article as 'awesome'
you gotta get over this obsession with carriers. The first several waves will not come from the sea.
The unthinkable is right before our eyes: The Third World War.
The horrors entailed in a Third World War are the consequence of an Apostate Church. The World was being sustained by the Holy Catholic Church through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of St. Pius V. Once the true Catholic Mass (the sustaining power of the Church) was removed in 1969 by Paul VI (who is now groaning and blaspheming in Hell) through the “Novus Ordo Missae”, the Church collapsed (becoming Apostate and transforming herself into the Whore of the Apocalypse) and with her the whole World also collapsed in all fields and endeavors, thus paving the way for the liberation of all sorts of devils (including those who are now fanning World War III).
