False Flag: Egypt airliner hijacked by former U.S. university prof(?) with a bomb, all Egyptians released! Americans & Brits hostages!

Cypriot President says hijacker is not a terrorist, but a love struck idiot!

Local newspaper reports say the hijacker is a former professor who once taught at the University of Atlanta, in the U.S. state of Georgia. Egyptian reports say the hijacker is 27 or 28 years old, however, pics posted on social media show a man who is obviously in his 50s or 60s!

An Egyptian airliner (EgyptAir MS181) was hijacked and forced to land on the island country of Cyprus.  Unconfirmed reports say a single man with a bomb strapped to him managed to get on the plane in Alexandria, Egypt.  Egyptian aviation administrators say that claim came from the pilot of the plane.  The hijacker wanted to go to NATO member Turkey but the pilot convinced him there wasn’t enough fuel. The flight was a domestic flight, not international.

Since landing in Cyprus supposedly all Egyptians on the plane (the majority of the passengers) were allowed to leave. Passengers of United States and United Kingdom are still on board, along with all the crew.   Negotiations have been ongoing, it’s now revealed the hijacker is demanding political asylum and also wants a message delivered to his ex-wife, who is Cypriot.  Some unconfirmed reports say police doubt if the hijacker has a bomb.

World War 3, East European Front: Control of natural gas pipelines the true reason for EU-U.S. backed coup in Ukraine?

25 February 2014 (00:51 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/06 Esfand 1392/26 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Here’s an interesting fact: Ukraine is the main transit point for natural gas pipelines running from Russia to European Union.  On the internet you can look up maps of pipelines running through Ukraine, and see it’s a big deal.

Another fact:  Many times Russia has shut off gas supplies, accusing successive pro-EU Ukrainian governments of ripping them off.

Another fact: Every time the U.S. gets involved in supporting a so called democratic revolution, the country targeted descends into chaos, even if the Obama regime considers the revolution successful.  These countries are all turning out to be sources for petroleum products that are considered rivals to the U.S. petroleum industry, or transit points for petroleum products from rivals of the U.S. petroleum industry.

It’s safe to say the true goal of the Obama regime backed ‘revolution’ in Ukraine is to collapse the country, possibly full blown civil war as half the provinces are refusing to recognize the new ‘legitimate’ government, and are forming their own military.  By doing so, a civil war could destroy the pipeline system, cutting off Russia from a primary customer (the EU).

This will make the United States the primary provider of natural gas to the EU.  If Russia has plans to invade Ukraine they better do it now.  Libya, Egypt and Syria are prime examples of what happens when you wait for ‘diplomacy’ to work.

I’m not the only one who thinks control of natural gas resources is the key behind the power struggle in Ukraine: Examiner.com, BloombergBusineweek, Reuters, OilPrice.

How many of you have already forgotten about Cyprus?  It was all about preventing Russia from getting a piece of the massive Mediterranean natural gas field:  Preemptive strike against Russia, What the Israelis said in 2012, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel, Cyprus says EU stabbed them in the back, now turning to Russia for help.

Stop believing the lies from the Obama regime, none of what’s been happening around the world, by the instigation of the United States, is about “democracy”, or even “free markets”!

Ukraine now divided, civil war inevitable

Influenza

Influenza: H1N1 hits Cyprus! Florida fighting epidemic! Medical incompetence could kill doctor! Europe planning for 2014-15 pandemic? FEMA preps for pandemic?

22 January 2014 (18:32 UTC-07 Tango 21 January)/20 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/02 Bahman 1392/22 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada:  A second person has died from H1N1.  Health officials report that overall flu cases are well below last year’s numbers.

Ontario, Canada: A 16 months old infant in North Bay died from H1N1.  927 confirmed flu cases in the province.

European Union: The European Centre for Disease prevention and Control (ECDC) says influenza is now hitting Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal and Spain.

Germany reports only four confirmed influenza cases at this point (H3N2 & H1N1).

Across all of the European Union (EU) 62% of flu cases are H1N1, 38% are H3N2.  Despite the common belief that flu is a cold weather bug, European health officials point out that the flu is migrating north as temps warm up.  Influenza season in Europe actually begins in the much warmer Mediterranean countries.

In Cyprus, two people have checked into a privately run hospital with H1N1.  Health officials told Cypriots not to worry as H1N1 is now part of the “…seasonal influenza which is circulating in other European Countries.”

The ECDC is also warning that there is not enough flu shots in the EU.  Not because there is a shortage, but because EU members have failed to stockpile enough.  Most EU members are only at 40%-60% of what is planned to be a mass influenza vaccination program in preparation for the 2014-15 flu season.  Mmmm, why the concern for such a massive vaccination program?

The U.S. FEMA is also preparing for pandemic: “The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking to augment its market research……..bio-medical waste collection and removal services during emergency response events…..Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with one or more contractor(s) for a base period of 1-year plus four twelve-month option periods.”

Florida, U.S.A.: State health officials say influenza is now at epidemic levels.  H1N1 is the dominant version, and it’s hitting pregnant women and people in their 40s hardest.  There are now an average of about 400 new cases per week in the Sunshine State.  Officials admit many counties do not track influenza related deaths.

New York, U.S.A.: Madison County reporting their first H1N1 death.

Texas, U.S.A.: A doctor with the Heart Institute of East Texas, is now in a medically induced coma because of H1N1. His wife is also hospitalized, and suffered a heart attack because of H1N1.  Their adult daughter said H1N1 hit her father hard and fast, and his own fellow doctors misdiagnosed the problem: “He was making his rounds and became nauseous. He went to the emergency room and they told him they thought he had an upper respiratory infection and sent him home with an antibiotic. My mom began to get sick the next day after caring for him.”-Rebecca Gill

Anti-biotics do nothing against flu viruses!  They are for fighting bacteria only. Rebecca Gill says she is sick now, as well, and is asking for financial help.

Wisconsin, U.S.A.:  Reports of 397 hospitalizations.

British Empire Owns the United States: Forces U.S. taxpayers to fork over $150 million for spy data!

02 August 2013 (19:39 UTC-07 Tango 01 August 2013)/25 Ramadan 1434/11 Mordad 1391/26 Geng-Shen (6th month) 4711

According to leaked U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), dated 2010, the United States Department of Homeland Security/NSA gave the United Kingdom $150 million taxpayer dollars in the past three years for ‘intelligence’!   This is according to the British news source The Guardian.

The money is going to the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).  According to the leaked NSA documents, a GCHQ official calls the U.S. payments an “investment”.

The documents show that U.S. taxpayers are funding half of the British spying operations in Cyprus.  Remember Cyprus?  That’s the country that suddenly went belly up, and massive bailouts of the government took place, while many people had their bank accounts seized to pay for the bailouts!  It’s all connected to the recently discovered massive petroleum field in the Mediterranean (known as Levant Basin Province, aka Leviathan).

Ironically, even though the U.S. is paying the U.K. for spy data, according to the NSA documents 60% of the British Empire’s internet and phone spying is actually being done by the U.S. NSA!

Government Evil: Cyprus, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

I’ve been pointing to a possible connection between the financial take over of Cyprus and the recently discovered massive Leviathan/Levant Basin Province  petroleum fields in the Mediterranean Sea.  On 31 March 2013, Israel began pumping out natural gas from their Tamar fields (which is part of the larger Levant Basin Province).

At last report the Israeli company Delek Energy is planning to send some of that gas to Cyprus, then on to South Korea.  The Israeli government told Delek Energy to hold off on its export plans, just prior to the financial takeover of Cyprus.

The U.S. based Noble Energy owns 36% of the Tamar operations.

Control over Leviathan/Levant Basin is the real reason behind the U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgency in Syria and Lebanon, and efforts to keep Egypt destabilized, as well as Tunis and Libya.

Libya, Tunis, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and Greece border, or are strategically located near Levant Basin Province. If you look at a map of the Mediterranean, then draw a line straight south from Greece to Libya, the area under the Sea east of that line has become of extreme importance to western governments.

Cyprus borders an area known as Block 12 of the Levant fields.  Noble Energy, and Delek Energy have been working a deal to work the Cyprus side of Block 12.  Block 12A (Aphrodite) is estimated to have 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.  Other areas of Cyprus’s Block 12 are still being explored, but have already attracted investment from France, Italy and South Korea.

According to the latest reports in the Cyprus Mail, the whole financial takeover of Cyprus is about who gets to control the money that will be made from Block 12 of Leviathan/Levant.  Even Russia backed off of bailing out Cyprus because they realized their ‘investors’ could make more money off Block 12 than off their Cypriot bank accounts.

War over Leviathan!

Big Bank & Government Evil: More proof that the Cyprus bailout is a scam to steal people’s money from their bank acconts!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“It was not a bailout. It was a collective punishment. The amount of money that Cyprus required could have allowed a more gradual approach to addressing the economic structure problems. With these policies, not only the Cypriot financial system has suffered a serious blow, but the economy as well. And I have no doubt, that this will have also a fallout effect on the Eurozone on the whole…….Cyprus is doing much better than countries like Germany. And I think this issue about money laundering, it was an excuse…….it was reported that agents from German banks were coming to attract funds from Cyprus. Let me also say that what has happened to Cyprus is also related with a perverted image that they have created about Cyprus in the last few years. For example, it’s a place with money laundering, especially from Russia. And also that Cyprus is a headache to the rest of Europe. And that’s not true.”-Andreas Theophanous, economist University of Nicosia

The Bank of Cyprus has closed offices in the country of Romania!  The ten branches will be closed for one week to prevent Romanians trying to take all their money out of their accounts.

It’s also been revealed the bank will be sold off!

The family of Cypriot President, Nicos Anastasiades, is being outed by Cypriot media, because it turns out they took millions of euros out of bank accounts just a few days before the IMF/ECB bailout went into effect.

According to local media reports, the president’s son-in-law co-ownes a company called A.Loutsios & Sons.  That company transferred $27 million USD worth of promissory notes from Laiki Bank to a bank in London, U.K.

The Laiki (Popular) Bank was shut down as part of the undemocratic bailout (undemocratic because the IMF & ECB somehow circumvented the Cypriot Parliament).

President Anastasiades responded today by saying the country’s new high court judges will “….be given a mandate to investigate everything that is possibly related to me, including those relatives linked to me by marriage.”

It also turns out that some Cypriot politicians had their debts forgiven as part of the bailout (is that how the IMF & ECB circumvented the parliament?).

On 31 March, the leader of the Cypriot Orthodox Christian church demanded that the financial leaders of the country resign!  He says the country’s problems are not economic: “If we [the government of Cyprus] had spent within our means, we would not have the results we see today….This misfortune that has occurred to our country seems like an economic problem but it isn’t, at its core you will find sin!”-Archbishop Chrysostomos II

Russia just announced they will not help individual Russians who have money in Cypriot banks, but they will help Russian companies.

Also, I noticed Russian media reports now linking the Cyprus bailout to a “war” over control of petroleum rights.  I’ve been saying that from the beginning (check my past Cyprus postings).  It’s known as Leviathan.

What Economic Recovery? New Cyprus bailout equals 40% tax on bank accounts! Russia calling European Union a bunch of thieves, yet happy about it? More reason to get your money out of the banks!

25 March 2013/13 Jumada l-Ula 1434/05 Farvardin 1391/14 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“The stealing of what has already been stolen continues…”-Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Prime Minister

Medvedev is referring to the latest bailout offer for Cyprus from the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, in a round-a-bout way saying the whole thing was a done deal from the beginning.

The previous offer, which was rejected by parliament, included up to 10% tax on bank accounts. This new one imposes up to 40% tax on accounts with $100000 or more, and does not require parliamentary approval!!!

Most of the big money depositors in Cyprus are foreigners, and they’re going to pullout all their money.  Guess where many of those depositors are going to put their money now?  In Russian banks!

That’s the real reason Russia didn’t really try to give Cyprus a bailout, and why Russia isn’t really that upset about Cypriot bank accounts being robbed by the ECB and IMF (despite what Western media analysts say).

The result of the foreign depositors pulling out their money, and the harsh austerity caused by the bailout (such as the 2nd largest bank of Cyprus will be shut down under the deal), will be the economic destruction of Cyprus (and the take over of the island county’s stake in the huge Leviathan petroleum field).

World War 3: IMF & EU banks trying to take over Cyprus banking system! Yet another attempt to seize depositors’ accounts!

22 March 2013/10 Jumada l-Ula 1434/02 Farvardin 1391/11 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“Time is up, we want our cash! Our friends in Europe brought us to this point. We expected more.”-Maria Melitou, Cypriot accountant

The latest reports are that hundreds of people, if not thousands, are clashing with police in the capital city of Cyprus.  All because the European Union wants to take their bank accounts.

European Central Bank (ECB) officials are now pressuring Cyprus to close down its banks, as part of the latest bailout offer.  The ECB is also demanding the freezing of any accounts that are not insured!

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that they would be able to seize 40% of uninsured assets and accounts!

German officials said the radical bailout offer is justified because the two biggest banks in Cyprus will fail anyway.  The German official said seizing uninsured accounts would actually leave more money in the Cypriot banking system than if the two biggest banks failed outright.

But there are several Russian billionaires who have large amounts of uninsured deposits in Cypriot banks, and they say this is just an attempt by the ECB to steal some free money.

Another German official admitted in a Christian Science Monitor interview that the European Union wants to get its hands on the suspected tens of billions that are in the almost unregulated Cypriot banks: “We want this to be taxed.”-Michael Fuchs, a member of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats

The Cyprus Popular Bank (aka Laiki Bank) said it will fail outright on Monday, 25 March 2013.  The Cypriot government is considering a law that would ban money being taken out of the country.  Also, ATMs are running out of money because of the amount of people trying to cash out (the banks are still closed).

Right now 67.3% of Cypriots want out of the European Union.  There are reports that if Cyprus goes along with a ECB bailout that Russia could dump its holdings of euros.  42% of Russia’s foreign exchange currency holdings are in euros.  Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says it’s not worth it to have euros if the ECB gets its way: “If it can be done in Cyprus, why not in Spain, in Italy, or in other countries where there are problems with finances? Tomorrow they will start to confiscate deposits there.”

What Economic Recovery? Cyprus joins growing list of European countries asking for a bailout!

25 June 2012, the small island country of Cyrus has asked the European Union (EU) for a bailout.  It’s the fifth country to do so, after Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.

The economy of Cyprus is directly tied to Greece, and the economic disaster there has dragged down banks in Cyprus.

Fitch just downgraded the Cyprus’s sovereign credit (bonds) grade by one notch to a junk status of BB+.  Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s also rank Cyprus at junk level.

Red Horse, Leviathan & World War 3: It’s about the Oil & Gas, huge reserves found off the coast of Cyprus, Gaza, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey & Syria. The real reason for War with Iran!

“…its gas resources are bigger than anything we have assessed in the United States!”-Brenda Pierce, U.S. Geological Survey, statement about the Levant Basin Province (aka Leviathan)

The discovery of huge natural gas reserves in the Mediterranean Sea is the true cause of warmongering between the United States, Europe, Cyprus (which is divided into Greek and Turkish halves), Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iran and Palestinian Gaza Strip.

In 2009, Texas U.S.A. based Noble Energy (formerly known as Noble Affiliates, and not to be confused with Nobel Energy Management) discovered a huge gas field while under hire by Israel.  It was the biggest gas field discovery of 2009, called Tamar.

Image via Noble Energy.

In October 2010, Noble Energy discovered an even bigger gas field. Israel declared the area an Exclusive Economic Zone.  It’s part of an even bigger area known as the Leviathan Gas Field. The problem is that Lebanon says the field extends into its territory and on August 2010, almost two months before the second discovery by Noble Energy, petitioned the United Nations to protect their rights.

Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker, Nabih Berri, said Israel is “…ignoring the fact that according to the maps the deposit extends into Lebanese waters.”

Lebanon is justified, as Israel (along with the United States) never ratified the 1982 UN Convention on Law of the Sea.  Under that law Lebanon has a right to the gas, in the field called Tamar.

Israeli officials responded with threats of war: “We will not hesitate to use our force and strength to protect not only the rule of law but the international maritime law.”-Uzi Landau, Minister of National Infrastructure of Israel

Note how Israeli officials always make claims of enforcing international laws, yet they have refused to sign onto most of those laws!

In fact Israel periodically sends military aircraft into Lebanon’s air space, and even drops a few bombs now and again.

But, the Leviathan Gas Field doesn’t involve just Israel and Lebanon. In December 2011, NATO-Turkish warships began firing on an area of the Mediterranean where Cyprus had just discovered an extension of the Leviathan Gas Field.  Cyprus declared the area an Exclusive Economic Zone, it is also known as Block-12 of the Leviathan Gas Field.

Greek Cypriot officials issued not only words of war, but threats of Ethnic Cleansing: “If Turkey does not change its gunboat diplomacy and stop playing the part of regional police officer, there will be consequences which, for sure, will not be good, either for the whole region or the Turkish people and first and foremost for Turkish Cypriots.”-Dimitris Christofias, Greek President of Cyprus

For some reason the Western media has not reported much of anything about the disputes over the Leviathan Gas Field.

2011 was also the year that NATO-Turkey went from being Israel’s only ally in the region, to becoming an enemy.  Turkey officially blamed it on Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid ships to Gaza, but it looks like it’s really about the gas.  By the end of 2011, Israel canceled a $90-million military contract with Turkey, because Israeli officials felt Turkey was after their portion of the gas field.

Israel has allied itself with Greek Cyprus, when it comes to extracting the natural gas.  While Noble Energy is officially a Houston, Texas, company, most of the company stocks are actually held by petroleum companies of Greek Cyprus (Cypriot national energy company) and Israel (Delek Drilling LP & Avner Oil Exploration LLP).

Noble Energy claims there is 33-trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Leviathan fields, enough to provide Israel with 100 years worth!  In fact, the United States government is so interested that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was sent in to confirm its size.

You might remember that, in 2011, for a short time it looked like Israeli-U.S. relations were deteriorating. Again, the Western media failed to report that U.S. officials told Lebanese officials that the U.S. supported their claim to the Tamar gas  fields!

The U.S. mended their relations with Israel, by taking a stand against Turkey’s desire to control a portion of Leviathan.  U.S. officials did this by supporting Israel’s new ally Greek Cyprus.

U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, told the Greek Cyprus Foreign Minister, Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, to go full bore on drilling their gas field.     Kozakou-Marcoullis told a crowd at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars that Turkey was “the neighborhood bully”, and that the United States was fully supporting Greek Cyprus (thus, in a round-a-bout way Israel) in their gas field operations.

February 16, 2012, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a historic first time visit to Greek Cyprus.  He called the new alliance a “natural relationship”, and added:  “I came here to develop our bilateral ties, our economic ties and ties in the field of energy.”

Oh, but wait, Turkey now looks to be Israel’s ally again. In fact Turkey has switched from supporting Syria to supporting military action against Syria!   What happened?

Turkey has realized that by connecting a relatively short pipeline to Leviathan, they could potentially become self sufficient in natural gas, and maybe even oil.  This would end their current dependence on petroleum from the Black Sea (Russia, Romania), and make it no longer a necessity to connect to the planned pipeline coming from Iran.

What about NATO-Greece? Ever notice how this economic disaster just keeps dragging on? It could be because Greece is a transit rout for oil and gas pipelines coming from the Caspian Sea, and Middle East (namely Iran).  These so called bail out negotiations are more likely efforts to get Greece to join Leviathan.

The problem for Greece is that it would need a very long expensive pipeline to connect to the known gas/oil reserves of Leviathan, meaning it’s still cheaper to get their petroleum from the Middle East!  It’s also still cheaper to continue getting their petroleum from the Middle East, than to buy it from those countries (Israel, Cyprus, etc) that are planning to mine Leviathan for everything it’s got.

This is the real reason Greece is being run into the ground.

By the way, want to know what the USGS found when they explored the Eastern Mediterranean?  Potentially, 345-trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 3.4-billion barrels of oil!!!

This sheds new light on the real reasons for the 2011 overthrow of the Egyptian and Libyan governments in North Africa!  The people of those countries were justified, but look what it’s got them; increasing instability in Libya, and a pro-U.S.-Israel military government in Egypt.

And what about the almost daily Israeli military attacks on the Gaza Strip, for the past two years, that the Western-NATO news-media is not reporting!?  The latest attack, on February 26, saw Israeli planes bomb a cement factory.  The week prior saw Israeli forces cut off electrical power to Gaza.  On and on.  Yet barely any mention in Western mainstream news-media.

What countries surround the Eastern Mediterranean?  Cyprus, Gaza, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria!!!

And what about this urgent need to go to war with Iran? It’s not about anything nuclear!  Lebanon & Syria (Eastern Mediterranean countries) and Iraq & Iran are a few years away from completing the largest natural gas pipeline in the Middle East.  It would rival anything that could be immediately extracted from Leviathan.

“A trilateral agreement between the three countries on the transit of gas has been reached….The first official contract is ready to be signed soon…We plan to transit gas from the South Pars field through Iraq, Syria and then Lebanon to the Mediterranean area and Europe.”-Javad Oji, National Iranian Gas Company

The pipeline from Iran could carry 110-million cubic meters of natural gas per day, for the next 80 years (Iran has the world’s second largest reserves of natural gas)!  If this was completed, then it would make developing the Leviathan (new drilling rigs, pipelines, etc) a waste of money.  And, the money made off the Iranian dominated pipeline would not be going to the West (ie no benefit to the U.S./U.K./Saudi Arabian U.S. PetroDollar monopoly)!

It would also destroy Israel’s hopes of finally joining the petroleum club.

The other factor, that has most of the European Union in favor of Leviathan (except Greece, by the way some NATO-German officials are now saying Greece needs to get out of the EU), is the fact that current eastern European pipeline projects are turning out to be more expensive than first thought.  So much so that some reports (including reports by British Petroleum [BP]) say it would be cheaper to dump those projects in favor of developing Leviathan.  But of course, that’s only if Leviathan didn’t have to compete with the huge pipeline coming from Iran.

In fact, as of February 26, Leviathan now has to compete with several gas lines coming from Iran. Iranian gas officials announced they are now building secondary pipelines to Iraq, Syria and on to Europe!

Because the Western media does not report what’s really going on regarding the recently discovered Eastern Mediterranean oil and gas fields, and only reports propagandist lies meant to rally people in support of unjust wars for the benefit of the oil industry,  it shows that the Western news media is a tool of deceit for the Red Horseman.

“Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.”-Revelation 6:4
