The “Odd Couple”. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deliver a press conference. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The following email describes warnings from an unnamed American minister in Israel. The email is alarming but unverifiable. It might be a hoax.
Even so, the email caused me to ask an intriguing question: What do you suppose Israel fears more–a nuclear-armed Iran–or a US president who is openly supportive of Muslims?
This question inspired a fascinating hypothesis. Could Israel bomb Iran, in part, for the purpose of causing Obama to lose this November’s election?
I’ll explain that hypothesis in a moment, but first, here’s the email, as written:
“Something is coming.
“I don’t know if you follow such things but…
“My brother and his family live in Jerusalem – he is a minister – and a former Navy SEAL – his office is close to one of Israel’s largest underground military bases.
“He called to tell me that he is sending his family back to the US immediately due to what he is seeing happen within the last week and what he is being told by his military contacts in both the Israel and US military.
“He said he is seeing with his own eyes military movements the likes of which he has never seen in his 20+ years in Israel.
“What he called a massive redeployment and protective tactics of forces is underway.
“Over the last two days he has seen anti-aircraft missile deployments throughout the Jerusalem area including 3 mobile units that he can see from his office windows.
“In addition, he has seen very large Israeli armored columns moving fast toward the Sinai where Egypt has now moved in Armor.
“There are reports of the top military leaders meeting with Israel’s senior Rabi which is something that has happened preceding every prior military campaign.
“His admonition is to watch carefully and pray for Israel and its people.
“He is convinced that barring something extraordinary Israel will attack Iran – with or without the US – and very soon.
“It is the belief in Israel that Obama does not stand with Israel but with the Arab countries.
“He has told me before that Israel will saber rattle from time to time but that this time is very different from what he is seeing and hearing.
“He was at the Wailing Wall 2 days ago and there were hundreds of IDF soldiers there. As he was leaving he passed at least 20 military buses full of soldiers in route to the wall.
“There are reports that Israel is asking Obama to come to Israel immediately but they are being answered with silence.
“My opinion is that I see the making of the perfect storm.”
It’s commonly believed that:
1. Israel and the Obama administration are not “BFF” (best friends forever). Obama does not support Israel to the same extent as previous administrations. Obama does show surprising support for Arab countries who may be Israel’s enemies.
2. Israel wants desperately to bomb Iran to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. President Obama has sought to restrain Israel from doing so for most of a year.
3. Obama was recently video-taped as telling a Russian official that after his reelection, he [Obama] would be “freed” to do whatever he liked without meaningful political repercussions. I.e., if reelected, Obama might shift gears from “change you can believe in” to “change you suckers can’t do nuthin’ to stop”.
4. It follows that if Obama is already mildly antagonistic to Israel, if he’s reelected, he might become aggressively antagonistic to Israel and aggressively supportive of Arab countries. ”Four More Years” of Obama might mark the “last four years” for Israel.
5. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is expected to be a staunch supporter for Israel.
6. It follows that Israel has a powerful interest in seeing that Obama does not win reelection. At least some–and perhaps a vast majority–of Israeli politicians must believe that Israel’s very survival might be threatened if Obama is reelected.
7. Conjecture: Let’s suppose that Israel attacks Iran before the US presidential election. What are some of the possible political consequences?
A. An Israeli attack on Iran would demonstrate that Obama is not in control of Israel. A president not in control is a president less likely to win reelection
B. The Obama administration would be forced to choose to either support or abandon Israel.
If Obama provided military support for Israel’s attack on Iran:
i. He’d be dragged into another Middle East war which could cost him votes in Novermber’s election;
ii. He’d appear to be subservient to Israel and lose whatever goodwill he’s built up with Arab countries.
On the other hand, if Obama abandoned Israel and left Israel to fight Iran on its own, he would galvanize American Jews and the “religious right” to work against him in the November election.
8. Implications: It seems possible that an Israeli attack on Iran could be a no-win scenario for President Obama. Thus, if Israel defied President Obama’s determination to prevent an attack on Iran, Israel could cause Obama to either support Israel (and lose much Arab support) or abandon Israel—and lose much American support in the upcoming election.
Israel’s primary purpose for such an attack would be to destroy Iranian nuclear capability. But Israel’s secondary purpose could be to cause Obama to look weak, out of control, and incompetent–or at least cause Obama to break ranks with the Muslims.
If it’s true that Obama’s sympathies lie more with Muslims than Israel, then Israel has a powerful interest in preventing Obama’s reelection.
By bombing Iran, Israel might effectively “bomb” Obama’s chances for reelection.
In fact, it’s possible that those Israelis who would otherwise work against bombing Iran might still be persuaded to support such attack based on the possibility of simultaneously “bombing” Obama’s reelection prospects. By bombing Iran, Israel might kill two “birds” (adversaries; Iran and Obama) with one “stone” (an attack on Iran).
Israel might not be strong enough to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability, but they might still be strong enough to destroy Obama’s reelection.
• So, if Isreal attacks Iran, how might the Obama administration solve such a dilemma? Will Obama support Israel or the Muslims?
Obama will almost certainly do whatever was best for Obama’s reelection. Muslims will play no significant role in determining who wins this November’s election so there’s no point to Obama openly supporting the Muslims prior to the election.
On the the other hand, Jews and the religious right will play a significant role in determining whether Obama or Romney will win. Thus, Obama dare not antagonize Israel or the religious right until after the election. Obama may be effectively bound to support an Israeli attack on Iran–at least up until the election..
However, if Obama can sweet-talk Israel into postponing its attack plans for just two more months, and if Obama is reelected, he can then tell Israel to Go to Hell. But Obama dare not do so prior to the election.
Therefore, Israel has a 50-day “window of opportunity” to “force” Obama to openly support Israel and implicitly tell the Muslims to “Go to Hell”–if Israel would dare to initiate an attack on Iran.
Is Israel famous for its daring?
Yes, indeed.
Of course, although there’s about 50 days until the election, there’d be no point in Israel attacking Iran on Friday, November 2nd. That would be too late to influence the US election or put Obama into a “box” where he must support Israel if he wants to be reelected.
Instead, if the hypothesis I’ve advanced actually makes any sense, we can expect an Israeli attack on Iran within the next two (maximum, three) weeks.
If Israel attacks Iran in the next two weeks, they could:
1. Badly disrupt or destroy the Iranian capacity to make nuclear weapons;
2. Badly disrupt the growing bond between the Obama administration and Muslim countries; and/or,
3. Possibly cause Obama to lose reelection.
Such a deal. . . .!

Al:
It is established in the hearts and minds of the People that something very serious (geopolitically) is about to errupt.
There are People who are very concerned that said erruption may consist of a component of ‘planning’.
Said ‘planning’ may envolve New World Order-hegemonic tendencies. As such it is not surprising that it seems ‘something is in the air’ (so to speak); does not The Revelation speak clearly of such a time. The Zietgiest is steadfast. The ‘Jig’ is up!

I think the cat is out of the bag , that isreal has nukes , and is not a party to international nuclear treaties, or subject to inspection , and why is little ole’ isreal always getting pushed around all the time ? even when they are running over americans in their bulldozers, and using white phosphorus weapons on civillians, or using civillians for human shields?? and as far as obama controlling isreal , I would say it is 180 deg. the other way around..let them attack iran , who cares? we all hate muslims anyways right? let’s kill 2 birds with one stone here , just like bush the elder did when sadamm , checked our oil in regards to the slant drilling in kuwait, green light , er agh , red light , culminating in the highway of death…. it’s all so simple…let them have at it , isreal will most definitley start it , but for some unknown reason , it will be the americans fighting and dieing, to protect little ole’ isreal , from the whole big mean world….north korea has nukes , what are we waiting for ? there is a bunch of countries that have nukes, let’s get all of them , right ? we have nukes , let’s get us…

I think the less obvious but more realistic consequence of such an “early” attack on Iran is the official start of World War III. Russia, China, most of the middle east would fight against the US and its accomplices. That seems the goal of the controllers and the dark side.

Mike:
you are touching upon very sensitive and factual phenomena. There are those who speak to the fact that, “Israel will be attact from the North.” Some even go to the point of naming-names, as: Turkey or Russia.
The sensitivity of the issue is such that secretcy is the over-riding factor and mis-information is the name of the ‘Game’. Yet, the “secrets” are actually hidden in plain view and (thanks to the internet) information is readily available.
However, because the build-up to this current geopolitical abomination has been in effect for the last thirty (30) to forty (40) years, the average individual (world-wide) is behind the curve and will be caught on the back-foot.
Even as true as it is that no one can be prepared for the unexpected; it is also true that no one can prepare for what many are expecting. Just think…never in the history of man-kind has the world been in such disarray, such malaise, such destruction, such indecisiveness.
An operational word which applies accross the board in such an atmosphere is PRODUCTIVITY.
How many people do you know who are actually ‘prepared’ to “produce” the materials required for everyday life; especially if you have children!
PeaceOut

Dear brother Al,
I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto him against that day. Look up. and rejoice! Rosh Hashana and Havdala home ritual, compare to Isaiah 42. then Yom Kippur.
You know that If Obama says left it’s really right. It’s the establishment of a religion that calls good evil and evil good.. Lk 9:60, Lk 15:24 + Lk 12:4,Lk 11:24 Ro 8:10 ( that message might as well be encrypted because it actually hurts them to look through scripture) and !Cor 11:14 and 2Pet 2:12 and because they are like zombies they couldn’t understand if they tried. finally, my brother be strong in the Lord and the power of his might.. for the weapons of our warfare are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. Every tool they used against him (like 30 pieces of silver -dimes) are at our disposal to confound them like Goliath and the Philistnes they are, even the sign they put on His cross! The dead have no right to rule over, suck the life out of, or steal the souls of the Living. Money, corporations, collective entities (PERSONS) are all dead things within this system that worships everything else but the one True Living God.
Those of you reading this, if you haven’t already given up and surrendered to the King of Kings, do it right now!!! Before it’s too late. Awake! Arise from the dead all you walkin around dead dead people, and become an adopted child of The King. Ask Jesus forgive you and forgive all those you have resentments and grudges about, He will bring your spirit back to life and listening to Him ( yeah, you can actually hear Him in your heart and mind- your hair may even stand up) write it down and confirm it 3 times to be sure.

TAKE IRAN OUT NOW !
Adask
September 23, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Any particular reason for killing the Iranians? Or should we just kill ‘em all because we can?
I’m not an historian, but I’ve seen one report that Iran hasn’t initiated an invasion or attack on another nation since the A.D. 1700s. If that report is true, it’s at least unlikely that Iran will initiate an attack on Israel.
Israel has been warning that Iran’s creation for nuclear weapons was imminent for five years or more. So far, those warnings have been mistaken. That doesn’t mean that Iran might not have nuclear weapons in the next weeks or months, but it does cast Israel in the role of the boy who cried wolf. After five years of false warnings, it’s hard to be confident that “this time is different”–that this time we have a real warning.
I don’t know what should be done about Iran–or about Israel. But I am not inclined to kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians (most of whom are ignorant and innocent) based on someone’s fear that these people’s government might also kill hundreds of thousands of other Israelis–most of whom are also ignorant and innocent.
If it’s OK for us to preemptively “take out” a nation because it might harm Israel, why would it be wrong for some other nation (we would call them “terrorists,” of course) preemptively “take out” our nation because our government might harm Iran?
We are in an era of madness. I don’t know that we can escape the madness by being wise. But I’m sure that we will succumb to the madness if we embrace the madness of preemptively murdering others.
It’s like living in a room full of psychopaths who are all out to kill someone–including you. You can wonder what did a nice guy like you did to deserve being put into that room. And, out of self-defense, you can start to preemptively kill all the pyschos to protect yourself (or your family). But my question is How many psycho’s can you murder before you, also, become a psycho? How many alleged “psychos” can each of us kill before we have to admit that we are also psychos and therefore truly belong in the room full of psychos?
If we preemptively kill the allegedly “crazy” Iranians to prevent them from killing the Israeli’s, how are we any better than the “terrorists” we claim to fight?
By murdering the Iranians . . . or the Iraqis . . . or the Afghans . . . do we truly eliminate the “psychos”? Or do we become “psychos”? Insofar as we murder another nation, are we somehow also murdering our own?
I’m not a pacifist. But it is a legitimate concern to wonder if nations, just like individual men and women, have a kind of conscience that’s subject to feelings of guilt. We send soldiers to fight in foreign battles and many come back with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If we kill enough Afghans, Iraqis or Iranians, will America succumb to the national equivalent of PTSD?
Do we want to take that risk just so we can “take Iran out now”?
sem
September 23, 2012 at 2:10 PM
Said risk has already been taken and implemented; the government is now in the throws of the consequences; and the people are suffering as a result.
Wars cost money, banks are in disarray, the ‘Spice’ dosen’t flow as readily as it did during the previous World Wars and of that which dose flow, such has been devalued to the point of expectation exceeding desire.
Nevertheless, de-population is the cornerstone of Globalization; therefore, as said by a Defense Secretary, “We go to war with what we got.” – and they got a lot of weaponry.
The ill-informed are no more deserving of genocidal unlawfullness than is the eco-system of the Amazon; yet, anything and everything that Almighy GOD said, “Is Good” during creation, is exactly what is being targeted…particularly, Man!
People should try and realize that once negativity (of any form) gains momentum, the effect and affect is rampant, indistinguishable, destruction and maliase. When governments (re elitist) become desperate, there is no hiding place.
Be careful what you wish for…YOU just may receive it (JERRY).

When times get hard, sexual matters are put on the back-burner. Gerald Celente likes to say, “When people lose everything; that’s when they lose it.”
It seems certain therefore, that volatility and blood-lust will fill the vacuum where pleasurable thoughts and activity once dwelt.
QE to infinity, ZIRP, debt monetization, Market manipulation, etc., are all signs of desparation. And, it is a little ‘nutty’ to expect resolve of the current situation, through thier implementation; especially when the Representatives will not work together.
Please keep in mind the coming December 31 (The New Budget).
