ISRAEL TO DEAL WITH IRAN’S NUCLEAR THREAT
by    
Gordon Thomas

Israel is prepared to launch a pre-emptive strike  against Iran’s nuclear facilities.    It regards the Islamic regime as its greatest threat.

Last weekend Iran’s defence minister, Ali  Shamkhani, announced his country had test fired a North Korean-designed  missile capable of carrying a one tonne warhead 900 miles – putting  Israel well within range.

And Mossad discovered that Shamkhani is in secret  discussions with Syria to move eleven Iraqi nuclear scientists from  Damascus to Tehran.   They  arrived in Syria shortly before the collapse of the Saddam regime.

“Syria’s president, Bashir Asad, has made one  stipulation for the transfer – that Iran shares its nuclear research  with Syria“?, said a senior Mossad officer.

The Iraqis brought with them CDs of research on  Saddam’s nuclear programme.   The  scientists were given new identities and hidden away in a Syrian  military base north of Damascus.

Both the CIA and MI6 have already expressed  concern that the Iraqis may have been helping Syria produce weapons of  mass destruction.

“Asad is anxious to get the Iraqi scientists  out of his country before Israel uses them as an excuse to launch an  attack“?, said an MI6 officer in London.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has already sent  Israel’s three Dolphin-class nuclear submarines to the Gulf of Oman  – within striking distance of Iran.

German built, each has recently been fitted with  the latest US Navy “over the horizon“? software.    Called Promis, it allows the submarines to destroy with pinpoint  accuracy targets in Iran up to 900 miles away.

These include nuclear plants at Natanz and Arak,  sited in the remote fastness of Central Iran.    A third plant is at Arkadan, near the historic city of Isfahan.

The plant at Natanz is the largest.    Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have  confirmed the accuracy of a report from Mossad undercover agents in Aran  that the Natanz complex has an underground system of bunkers where  nearly 1,000 scientists and technicians work.

A still confidential IAEA report states: “there  are already 1,000 gas centrifuges and components for the manufacture of  a further 50,000 centrifuges in the Natanz complex“?.

Centrifuges are essential to produce highly  enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.

Thirty feet below ground, the complex has 8-feet  thick concrete walls.

Under its military aid treaty with Israel, the  Pentagon is sending Tel Aviv 500 “bunker buster“? warheads in  November.   The delivery date  is set for the day after the US election.

“With President Bush expected to win, we regard  this as positive support for any action against Iran which poses a  threat to Israel and American interests in the region“?, said a senior  Mossad officer.

The bunker busters have BLU-109 warheads capable  of penetrating the Natanz underground facilities.

An assault against Iranian targets will also  involve Israel’s Airforce three squadrons of F-15 fighter-bombers.

To reach the gulf of Oman, the Dolphin submarines  will have completed an 8,000-mile journey from their pens in Haifa.    Each submarine carries 20 Cruise missiles.    They also have 200kg warheads, each containing 5kg plutonium.

Israel last launched a pre-emptive strike against  a nuclear facility when it destroyed Saddam’s Hussein’s nuclear  reactor in 1981.   That  attack was praised by Washington and London as “a model of pre-emptive  action“?.

Last week, MI6 chief John Scarlett warned Prime  Minister Tony Blair that a similar attack by Israel could be only weeks  away.

Mossad hardline chief, Meir Dagan, has told Prime  Minister Sharon that Iran is now “further advanced“? in developing  its nuclear weapons than recent checks by IAEA inspectors have believed.

Mossad has learned that Iran’s nuclear  processing plants also possess what is called “inevitable waste  product“?.

This can provide groups like al Qaeda with the  basis to make a dirty bomb.

A senior intelligence officer in Tel Aviv  revealed that President Bush “is now firmly convinced that Iran poses  a greater threat to Israel than Iraq did“?.    And a senior Pentagon official has further confirmed that a  number of Department of Defence planners have recently travelled to Tel  Aviv to discuss plans to attack Iran.

Meanwhile the Iran regime continues to threaten  its own pre-emptive strike against Israel.

A military parade through Tehran has displayed a  range of military missiles.   On  a Shabab-2 missile – capable of hitting Tel Aviv or Jerusalem – a  banner proclaimed: “Israel must be wiped off the map.“?    Another missile carried a banner warning: “We will crush Israel  under our might“?.   A third  missile boasted: “With this weapon we can hit the American fleet in  the Mediterranean and the Gulf“?.

But any pre-emptive attack by Israel is unlikely  to come until the IAEA deadline for Tehran to stop all work on Uranium  enrichment.   This expires a  few days after the US November election.    So far Tehran has refused to agree to meat the deadline.

Its nuclear facilities are continuing to convert  37 tonnes of yellow-cake – milled uranium oxide – into uranium  hexafloride, the basis for uranium enrichment.

The Tehran regime insists the process is to  provide fuel for its electricity generating reactors and bring power to  small villages throughout the country.

Israel has also developed an ultra sophisticated  range of electronic weapons.   These  are capable of:

Totally disabling communications between Iran’s  regional military commanders.

Closing down the countries banking system.

Wrecking its internal transport system.

“The systems are so specific they would not  disrupt hospitals.   They are designed only to take out military targets.    Infowar has a great advantage.    It can freeze all the hardware with out the loss of life that  comes with conventional war“?, confirmed a Tel Aviv intelligence  officer.

ALERT!!!!!!
The TBR website is GONE!!!  It was there yesterday.  I just checked it and got the message "Domain Name is now available"!!!  Something is up.  The Signs of the Times still has a copy.  It is on yesterdays page.

In case you missed my post in the other thread, the www.aliveandwell.org website vanished literally a day or two after it was mentioned on NR at the beginning of the week. 

This was also the week that the FBI seized the American Indymedia servers (actually, seized is not exactly correct ... they requested the equipment from Rackspace Hosting, who turned it over without question).

Testing!! EXACTLY. I thought the exact same thing when I heard that there's a SHORTAGE OF FLU VACCINE. It's in the the news every other day -  "Flu vaccine shortage". Well, . . .  this has got to be another form of TESTING. Testing our reactions and dependencies on such things as government sponsored vaccinations and how much we actually believe we need them.

I also read that the constant surveys and 'polls' are employed for this very purpose. TESTING.

For those who watch a lot of t.v. / media they will probably be programmed by the repeated suggestion that they "need" the vaccine and unfortunately, there are none.  Yes, interesting experiment indeed.  I just laugh out loud whenever I see the flu vaccination shortage posters.  (they have them here at my new temp job, tacked on the walls down by the kitchen break room.)  I laugh out loud, shake my head, roll my eyes and feel like we're living in the world of "1984" or "Brazil" or "A Brave New World" with all the lies and propaganda.  This reality is becoming increasingly more ridiculous as the years go by.  The world around me feels like a joke!

Why is it the employers responsibility to inform the employees?

Was it like those gub'ment posters with wages and work laws?

Have you considered asking a supervisor or manager about it?

I would just ask, "So, what do you think I should do about the shortage of flu vaccine?" ("I saw the posters by the break room; is this something I should be concerned about as an employee here?" etc.) and see what kind of response you get.

. . . having the notice at work _would_ suggest some underlying risk of contracting the flu while at work . . .

Employers probably think they're doing a public service by putting up notices about the flu vaccine shortage. After all, they wouldn't want to WISH the flu on anyone, so warn employees about the shortage while there are still some doses left. I doubt they put that much thought into it, though.

The best way to create demand for a product is by saying there's shortage. I heard of an experiment where a rumor was started that a particular brand of toiletpaper was having a shortage...soon enough people were buying up that brand in every store until there was none left til the next shipment. Same basis behind the "items are limited, get yours today" gimmick in advertising. Plays on the drive to place personal survival over collective survival, except here the vaccine is ironically a threat to both - so no matter whether you're a do-gooder who warns others about the shortage or a selfish rat getting your shot before someone else gets it, you're playing into the hands of the agenda.
