Syria, 07 October 2015: Proof it’s about Leviathan as Israel discovers oil in Syria! Russian Navy joins the fight (video)! Islamic State skins man alive!

The main stream news media is finally asking the question about where Islamic State, aka DAIISH, gets all those Toyotas, Fords, and Nissans.  Blind Bat News traced the fleet order of Toyotas back to a dealer, back in February! 

Blind Bat News also showed that General Motors (GMC, Chevy) trucks were also sold, or being supplied by the United States military, to DAIISH.  Of course the U.S. Department of Defense says the trucks were given to ‘rebels’ who then immediately turned them over to ‘Islamic State’.

On the 42nd anniversary of the October War, it’s time for the real reason Israel continues to illegally occupy Syria’s Golan Heights: “…large amounts of oil have been found on the Golan Heights. Estimates are that the amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for very many years to come.   Afek Oil and Gas chief geologist Dr. Yuval Bartov told Channel 2 News, ‘We are talking about a strata which is 350 meters thick and what is important is the thickness and the porosity. On average in the world strata are 20-30 meters thick, so this is ten times as large as that, so we are talking about significant quantities. The important thing is to know the oil is in the rock and that’s what we now know.'”

World War 3 Africa: Obama orders military occupation under the False Flag of fighting ebola! Ebola? More likely it’s about all that new found oil and the control of the World’s biggest economy!

17 September 2014 (06:27 UTC-07 Tango)/22 Dhu l-Qa’da 1435/26 Shahrivar 1393/24 Gui-You 4712

“Liberia is facing a serious threat to its national existence. The deadly ebola virus has caused a disruption of the normal functioning of our state.”-Brownie Samukai, Liberian Defense Minister

The Obama regime loves to claim the U.S. taxpayers are sending hundreds of millions of worthless U.S. dollars to fight ebola, even though last month UN health officials said they were still waiting for such U.S. funding to show up.  Now Obama is ordering 3-thousand U.S. military personnel to establish a military base in the name of fighting ebola.  I’m sure that despite the fact that U.S. funding is failing to come through for anti-ebola healthcare, the U.S. military base (in Ghana) will become reality.

A more likely reason for U.S. military presence is oil, and all that money that comes with it.  Yep, it’s that evil oil again.

The countries being hit hard by the unusually virulent strain of ebola also happen the area of massive new oil and natural gas exploration, led by a company based in the British empire country of Australia.  That company is called African Petroleum Corporation.

Let’s look at the oil ops just in the country of Liberia:

The former(?) U.S. colony of Liberia has been allowing foreign oil companies to drill for natural gas and oil, since 2004.   Some of the oil companies operating there are Spain based Repsol, California based Chevron, Texas based Anadarko Petroleum (who claims their oil operations are all for the “world’s health and welfare”), and Australia based Woodside Petroleum which has had an on-again-off-again interest in west African oil (Woodside quit its interest in the Israeli Leviathan gas fields and returned to western Africa in July 2014 by becoming a partner with United Kingdom’s Chariot Oil & Gas in Morocco, and in August 2014 by becoming a 40% partner with Texas based Nobel Energy in a new project off the coast of Gabon).  Then there’s Texas based ExxonMobil, which took over oil drilling in Liberia from a Canadian company in 2013.

The African Petroleum Corp. finally struck oil in Liberia in 2012, but full blown oil production is not expected to begin until 2015 (interestingly ExxonMobile stated they’re delaying their production until 2015 due to the ebola outbreak).

However, obvious corruption within the Liberian government caused the awarding of new oil contracts to be put on hold, until a new law is created to stop such corruption.  To add to the frustrations of the oil companies, at the end of 2013 Chevron downgraded their expected chances of striking oil, to just 50/50.   At one point it was estimated that Liberia might have one million barrels worth of oil off its coast.

The Obama regime now claims the ebola outbreak is “chaotic” and requires the help of the U.S. military to control.  However, Chinese and Cuban doctors seem to have things under relative control in neighboring Sierra Leone (39% death rate), apparently it’s just the former(?) U.S. colony of Liberia that’s out of control (about 50% death rate)?  In fact most of the fear mongering now being done by United Nations health officials is actually about Liberia.

So what’s this about a new U.S. military base in Ghana?  The international airport at Accra (the capital of Ghana) will be turned into a USAF base, under the guise of being an “airbridge” to supply medical help to the ebola infected countries.

Analysts have stated that the airport is actually being expanded into a giant military base under the control of the United States.  For some reason the internationally rated airport has been deemed too small to handle all the military aircraft from the U.S. that will be calling it home.

By the way, Ghana is estimated to have 800-million barrels of oil just waiting to be sucked up by western oil companies!

So is there a problem with getting medical supplies into the affected countries, that would justify an ‘airbridge’?  China and Cuba don’t seem to be having a problem getting in and out of the area.

The Washington Post reported that unnamed U.S. Department of Defense officials stated that military hospitals were also going to be built.  Barack Obama claims this is because “If the outbreak is not stopped now, we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of people affected, with profound economic, political and security implications for all of us.”  

Interestingly, one medical analyst who has been pushing for U.S. military intervention is now criticizing the current Obama regime plan.  Laurie Garrett, with the Council on Foreign Relations, has been warning for years about what is happening now in Liberia.  But she says what the Obama regime is about to do will do nothing to stop the spread of ebola: “We will have a central command, but it will be commanding U.S. military personnel, not people from other countries and certainly not the Liberians themselves.  And we also see that the response is not a regional one. We are, unfortunately, dividing our response according to kind of old colonial ties…. 

…..we’re late to the game. And if you just do the math, based on the statement made today by WHO, a doubling time every 10 to 21 days, and you take the number of actually identified and suspected cases existing now and do your math, you can see that if we can’t get a response on the ground immediately, effectively, across the region, we will be looking at a quarter of a million cases by Thanksgiving, and 400-thousand by Christmas …..we’re talking about something equivalent to the Black Death’s impact on Tuscany and Florence in 1346!”-PBS Newshour interview, 16 September 2014

So, the Obama regime is sending a military mission “late in the game” to establish a military base in Ghana (estimated to have 800-million barrels of oil) to help poor but possibly oil rich Liberia fight ebola.  Remember I said Liberia had suspended the awarding of oil contracts?  According to an August Reuters report, Liberia is about to restart the oil contract bidding on three offshore ‘blocks’ in October, with 13 more new ‘blocks’ up for auction if the new petroleum law passes in November (however, the Reuters report also revealed that of the six working oil wells constructed so far, none are considered “commercially viable”).   Then there are the Cubans and Chinese.

Yep, the Chinese are vying for oil rights in the very same ebola affected countries!

In August 2014, China purchased a record amount of oil from west African countries that are already producing oil.  Nigeria, Angola and other oil producing west African countries are now exporting 1.2-million barrels per day to China!

What about the Cubans?  It was recently revealed that the biggest money maker for Cuba is renting out their medical experts to help other countries fight outbreaks of disease.  Not just renting out medical personnel, but educators, sports trainers, etc.  According to Agence France-Presse, Cuba makes the equivalent of $6-billion USD every year on renting out its ‘professionals’.

Yesterday, The Nation revealed that many Liberians thought the ebola outbreak was a False Flag op by their government to bring in more taxpayer funding from other countries, as well as donations from private organizations, and to kill off dissenters: “I was hearing people tell me that what was happening wasn’t ebola, that whatever it was had been created in labs as an effort to kill Liberians. That it was a way the government could get money from the World Health Organization so that it could then put the money in its pockets.”-Satta Watson, resident of Monrovia, capital of Liberia

The point is that it’s all about the money, and new west African oil discoveries are potentially the biggest money makers ever.  How much so?  According to The Telegraph, by 2050 the countries of Africa will be making more money than Europe Union and United States put together: “Africa is going to go from a $2 trillion economy today to a $29 trillion economy by 2050.  That’s bigger than Europe and America put together in today’s money. Life expectancy is going to go up by 13 years. The population’s going to double from 1-billion to 2-billion, so household incomes are going to go up sevenfold in the next 35 years.”-Charles Robertson, economist

So this ‘race’ between the U.S. and China to supposedly stop the spread of ebola could really be part of the plan to see whose going to control the World’s biggest economy.

United States…fail to come through on funding the fight against Ebola!

World War 3, Leviathan Front: Russian Navy sets up permanent presence in Med!

16 May 2013 (17:46 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rajab 1434/26 Ordibehest 1391/07 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

“…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: Israel & Turkey make peace just in time to take over Cyprus’ Block 12/Aphrodite! More proof the war in Syria, and in Lebanon, is about Leviathan’s petroleum! Preemptive strike against Russia!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“The normalization of relations between Turkey and Israel was an important bilateral step……Israel will maintain its close relations with Cyprus, and continue strengthening them as we have done the last few years.”-Shani Cooper, Israeli deputy ambassador to Cyprus, 24 March 2013

According to the Cyprus Mail, U.S. President Barack Obama’s push to get Turkey and Israel to kiss and make up was part of the takeover of Cyprus.

You see, the real reason that Turkey, long the only regional ally of Israel, called Israel a new enemy was because of disagreements over how to handle the projected huge outflows from the massive Levant Basin Province petroleum fields in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  (officially Turkey said it was because Israel refused to apologize for killing Turkish citizens)

In steps Barack Obama three years later, on his first trip to Israel, suddenly Israel apologizes and Turkey accepts!

U.S. based Noble Energy, and Israeli Delek Energy are the main investors in Block 12 of the Leviathan/Levant fields.  Cyprus sits along Block 12 (Cypriots call it Aphrodite).  Noble Energy and Delek Energy want to sell that Block 12 natural gas to Turkey.

Israel and Turkey had considered a pipeline between their two countries, but Lebanon and Syria are in the way, and the western backed civil war failed to have the quick results they expected.

The current options are build a pipeline from gas fields in Israeli controlled water, around Lebanese and Syrian controlled water, trough Cyrpus’ water on its way to turkey.  Or, build a pipeline directly from Cyprus’ Block 12 to Turkey.  At this point the cheapest option is the Cyprus to Turkey route.

“You’ve got a 25-year project. Are you comfortable having Turkey being your best friend for that length of time? ……The key is to find enough gas to make it commercial. And if you can add gas from the nearby Israeli gas field Leviathan, even better.”-unnamed industry insider

There is also speculation that even more petroleum reserves will be found in Cyprus’ territorial water.

“It is naive not to think that they will put everything in one basket in the future: the Cyprus problem, hydrocarbons, Erdogan’s water pipeline project. All of this will come to a head. With Cyprus’ gas reserves, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but let’s hope it’s not a train.”-unnamed Cypriot diplomat

The recent financial takeover of Cyprus, which will hurt Russian investors, might have been a preemptive strike:   “The whole project could provide very robust and meaningful amounts of money that would be coming into the country. If the Russians want to make a killing they will have very high fees, making LNG very costly, and as a result, Cyprus won’t make a big profit. If they’re reasonable, it could work. But you don’t want someone not totally trustworthy having their hand around your throat.”-unnamed industry insider

What the Israelis said about Leviathan/Levant!

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!

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.”

World War 3: Israeli soldier desecrates Qur’an, IDF attacks al-Aqsa Mosque! Israel continues attacks on Gaza! U.S. begins Leviathan war games with Israel.

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

Israeli soldiers attacked protesting Palestinians at the al-Aqsa Mosque.  Palestinians responded with firebombs.

The protest has been ongoing since Israeli soldiers stormed the Mosque on 03 March 2013.  They broke up a Qur’an recitation, with one IDF troop kicking and trampling the Qur’an.

No mention by U.S. media!

Also not mentioned is that fact that Israel has not stopped attacking Gazans. The latest attack involves an attack by IDF personnel on farmers in the town of Jabalia.   One Palestinian wounded.  This is yet another violation of the most recent cease fire agreement. Last week six Palestinians were wounded by IDF troops in Gaza Strip.

The navies of United States, Greece and Israel have begun two week long war games.  This is a continuation of war games started in 2011 called Noble Dina. The main purpose of the war games is to protect new natural gas operations in the massive Leviathan petroleum fields under the Mediterranean Sea.

“…did get ambulances through to take the injured journalists out of Homs, and it was actually the Free Syrian Army who refused to let the journalists leave.”-Aisling Byrne, Conflicts Forum

After three weeks of intense fighting, the International Red Cross is finally able to help people in the Baba Amr district of Homs.  Don’t blame the Syrian Army, blame the goddamn U.S./Israeli supported Free Syrian Army rebel fighters!!!

The Red Cross, working with the Red Crescent, said they found at least 100 bodies that showed signs of being tortured!  Hello, the same U.S. supported bullshit is still happening in “liberated” Libya (and Iraq, and Afghanistan)!

Red Cross and Red Crescent are bringing in food, water and clothing, after the U.S./Israeli supported Free Syrian Army destroyed access to such, and was actually killing any civilian that tried to leave their homes!

This ain’t about “liberation”, or “freedom” or “democracy”, it’s about: Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.

What Economic Recovery: G20 says no more money for the IMF, until Greece makes even more draconian cuts! Wants U.S. to end Volcker Rules!

27 February 2012

The Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank chiefs, meeting in Mexico, said they will not provide the International Monetary Fund anymore money until Europe, specifically Greece, makes more even drastic government cuts.

This follows reports that the World Bank will issue a report warning China to privatize its remaning government held businesses.  Many analysts believe what the G20 really wants is total privatization of governments.

Yesterday I speculated that the problems of Greece are actually related to its lack of participation in the developing of the Leviathan gas and oil fields. Greece is also being pushed to privatize many government services.

The G20 also demanded that the United States back off of its Volcker banking rule, which was created to tighten the regulation of runaway too big to fail banks!  The Volcker rule is supposed to stop banks from using customer deposits to make investments strictly for the banks own profit! G20 officials claim the Volcker rule are interfering with international banking!

The Volcker rule doesn’t even go into effect until July, 2012!

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
