“…already from this year, we plan to have 5-6 warships and support vessels, which will be replaced on a rotating basis from each of the fleets, the Black Sea, Baltic, Northern and, in some cases, even the Pacific Fleet….the number of warships in the task force may be increased.”-Admiral Viktor Chirkov, Military-Maritime Fleet of the Russian Federation

The Russian navy now has a permanent presence in the huge eastern Mediterranean petroleum field, which includes Israeli controlled Leviathan Block (as well as others).

The Russian ships will make a port call in Cyprus.

Cyprus is bordered by several blocks of the massive Levant Basin Province petroleum fields, and directly controls Block 12/Aphrodite.  I’ve postulated that the whole Cyprus bailout debacle was a False Flag to cut Russia out of pending deals involving Block 12/Aphrodite.

Russia sending warships to “defend their interests”!

World War 3, West Asian Front: Israel takes over Al Aqsa Mosque! UN to investigate!

16 May 2013 (17:20 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rajab 1434/26 Ordibehest 1391/07 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

Israeli police have seized Al Aqsa Mosque in Al Quds (Jerusalem), all non-Muslims are banned from entry.  This is after zionists attacked the Mosque on 15 May, resulting in fights between Muslims and zionists.

The King of Jordan has lodged an official complaint with Israel.   Jordan is the official protector of Al Quds.  Apparently the Israeli closing of Al Aqsa to non-Muslims is in response to that complaint.

The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization announced a team of investigators will arrive in Al Quds on 20 May, to investigate claims that Israel is trying to destroy the Mosque, and Christian sites as well.  Al Aqsa is a UN World Heritage Site.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: U.S. stops selling Bonds, will rape federal retirement funds!!!

16 May 2013 (14:48 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rajab 1434/26 Ordibehest 1391/07 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

The U.S. Department of Treasury has ordered the halt to sales of federal government bonds to state and local governments.  This is an attempt to keep the federal government from hitting debt limits, despite the fact that on Sunday the limit is supposedly to be raised.  Bonds are a form of debt.

The Treasury is also ending the investment of funds for federal employees’ retirement programs, as well as considering raping the federal retirement system for needed cash!

Treasury officials blame the U.S. Congress for not fixing the debt problem.
