Personally, I give it three months or less.
Israel has begun poking around on the southern border of Lebanon again. They’d like to find an excuse to poke Syria from the Golan Heights, but it’s not quite there yet. I believe they are just getting started.
Meanwhile, all that action in Libya has our ships, troops and planes within short reach of Syria. Lots of stupid, arrogant and hypocritical words from our State Department about things there, but we are funding the troublemakers. No one in the MSM wants to talk about all the snipers gunning down Syrian police and troops at every protest. Just for good measure, they shot a few protesters, too. We only hear about how Assad’s government has violently attacked the “peaceful protesters” we have been funding and encouraging. This was planned a long time ago, just as with Egypt, Yemen and Libya.
Of course, attacking Syria is simply a way to provoke Iran, the real target. Syria and Iran have an alliance which appears to call for each to defend the other from attack.
I’m guessing our involvement in Libya was more about getting men and equipment in the area. Congress makes noise about stopping the action there, and we all pretend it really means something. Meanwhile, the next invasions will be under CIA secrecy, or something equally crazy so we can all pretend it really doesn’t trigger the War Powers Act. We should be able to free up some troops now that our government is secretly negotiating with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Maybe it will get really interesting at the same time with Greece defaulting, or going into complete revolution. Same result. The Euro will take a big hit and other national economies will fall, other governments, soon after. Lots of dependencies there I’m sure aren’t generally known, so it should be very entertaining. That’s sarcasm — I shudder to think of the loss of life and general devastation. I’ll weep.
I’m already pretty broken up over children all across Japan showing early symptoms of radiation poisoning. Kids are more vulnerable to it. A few weeks from now look for adults to show the same symptoms. Think what that says about their government, because they darn sure know about it, knew when it first started. Same for places like Seattle, with heavy doses of airborne radioactive particles showing up in discarded automotive air filters. What cars breathe in, people do, too. At least one scientist matches a high Fukushima fallout coinciding with a rising infant mortality in places like Philadelphia. Right now, it seems much of the fallout is settling either on the West Coast or parts of the densely populated Northeast.
I mourn the families forced to evacuate both the Mississippi and Missouri River Valleys. The snow hasn’t even started melting yet. I’m thinking about the vast stretches of productive farmland under water, and more to come. I sorrow over all those people along the Gulf Coast sick and dying from petroleum and dispersant poisoning. Tornado victims across the Midwest who still haven’t really begun to recover, and they’re finding a very aggressive fungus growing, infecting some of the smallest cuts and scratches. There’s a nasty mold in Texas causing serious lung problems never seen before — not heard in the news, but from people I know there. We sure don’t need any “accidents” like that E. Coli strain in Europe with inserted Plague DNA and resistance to last-resort antibiotics.
I do a lot of weeping and praying these days. Will my tear ducts eventually fail? There’s nothing gleeful about this. I’d rather be wrong and have you chuckle at my idiocy. I haven’t forgotten my promise. If our troops aren’t slaughtered attacking Iran (or before), it will be time for me to shut up. Then again, if things really do go that bad, I’m not sure I’ll have Net access, anyway.
