Without any provocation, other than a few disapproving comments by Turkey’s President Erdogan and Iran’s President Rouhani, it appears that a newly-orchestrated, rather complex plan or game (but certainly a conspiracy) has commenced.
Orchestrated by the big powers, it’s like an ‘Arab Spring 2’ whose forerunner, the so-called Arab Spring, was also conspired - mainly by the US - to bring about Muslim Brotherhood regimes in the Middle East and North African (MENA) countries, in their and Britain’s naive belief that the Brotherhood is benign. Actually it is quite the opposite.
The difference now is these plans have become more complex, resembling the crazy Iran-Contra affair.
Before you write me off as a conspiracy nut, look at what’s happened in recent months, even days, not in order of importance and I won’t touch on the details of the Las Vegas massacre.
A totally unnecessary destruction of Yemen for some bizarre reason; a Saudi Arabian internal revolution that introduced courtesy of Trump’s son-in-law and Israel under US’s new banner of Judeo-Christendom, a 32-year-old psychopathic would-be king, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), who basically formed a strategic alliance with the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamad Bin Zayed (MBZ), bypassing the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and creating permanent disunity within it.
The overall result is total internal upheaval within Saudi Arabia, followed in the past week by a backlash - unreported in any media of consequence - against the young would-be Saudi king which, to my mind, means the end of his political career, probably by assassination by his own family.
The backdrop to this was to make Jerusalem Israeli property. Meanwhile, also in the last few days, another Dr Strangelove series of events has taken place.
Trump and Zayed in the past days have been slowly distancing themselves from MBS, leaving him out in the cold. This reveals that it’s actually a US-UAE axis with Israel against Turkey, Qatar and Iran that are the major influence in the region.
Some Arab countries will side with Qatar, others with UAE. Another byproduct is that it will, for numerous reasons, guarantee Haftar’s ascension to leadership in Libya.
If all the above sounds crazy let me add some other detail of what’s happening.
By no coincidence and again I assert in a conspiracy orchestrated by US, ‘sudden’ coordinated (said to be spontaneous) demonstrations occurred all over Iran, no mean feat in one day in a country physically three times the size of France.
Also someone (and my guess is the US and UK) stabbed a great friend of the West, King Abdullah of Jordan, in the back as he discovered a plot within his own family to overthrow him, no doubt to make Jordan, or half of it, a Palestinian home at a guess.
But possibly more importantly, from the Saudi point of view, the Hashemite monarch’s move towards Turkey is seen as treason and now they see him and Jordan as expendable. Amman’s potential thoughts to retake custodianship of the holy mosques is now deemed a threat.
President Putin has tacitly agreed to all Trump’s moves because he has the wisdom to see it backfire badly on the US domestically
My mentioning of the Iran-Contra debacle and the false ‘Arab Spring 1’ is important in order to understand the magnitude of the arrogant stupidity of the US, who are totally manipulated by Zionist-controlled Israel.
The biggest clue to this conspiracy was the very significant announcement from the UAE that said two very important things; one relating to Turkey and Iran and the other was the UAE calling for all Arab nations to be “led” under a Saudi-Egyptian umbrella.
UAE and MBZ are manipulating Saudi and MBS not the other way round as many thought. So much so their relationship is coming under strain as inferred earlier herein.
I can go on, explaining more details but there is no point because it’s the conclusion they appear to hope for that is of most interesting.
Which is the acceptance of the Jerusalem move; another upheaval within Saudi; to ‘Vaticanise’ the two holy places, Mecca and Medina (maybe even Jerusalem too) and the expulsion of Turkey from Nato.
I shouldn’t forget to mention sometime in the New Year also an unprovoked pre-emptive attack on North Korea by the US. Similarly a preemptive nuke attack on Iran by the Israelis. More serious madcap ideas, most if not all will backfire against the US and Israel, like the Iran-Contra idiocy and Arab Spring 1 (in which I include the unnecessary destruction of Libya by Nato and all the consequences that idiot move caused).
And all this for what you may ask?
In large part to cover up the failure of the excesses and corruption of capitalism and the trillions of dollars stolen with help from friends in the Pentagon by persons unknown.
A most important deduction I will make is that President Putin has tacitly agreed to all Trump’s moves because he has the wisdom to see it backfire badly on the US domestically. That will mean an end to the US as we know it. Putin’s secret approval is critical to stop Russia participating in a nuclear exchange.
However, that does not take into account the ‘chosen people’, the determined Zionist Israelis with their 200+ nuclear arsenal from reaping even further havoc. The marriage between evangelical Christians and Zionists makes for a toxic, deadly mix driven by politics and an insane desire for the End Times.
China is worth a mention; she isjust watching.
So if this Op-Ed finds you disbelieving its contents and me a conspiracy nut, we can all wait to judge that in 2018.
Finally in defence of my sanity, I mention that in a recent interview entitled Ron Paul Warns America’s ‘On The Verge Of Something Like 1989’s Soviet System Collapse’ with the Washington Examiner, Paul said: “We’re on the verge of something like what happened in ’89 when the Soviet system just collapsed. I’m just hoping our system comes apart as gracefully as the Soviet system.”
Paul added: “We have ownership of these countries, but it’s not quite like the Soviets did. I think our stature in the world and our empire will end, and that’s when, hopefully, the doors will be open.”
