28 January 2010 By Keith Johnson The
fingerprints of Israel’s meddling are all over the
place in Yemen. And you better believe that we’ll be
hearing a lot more about Yemeni connections to all
manner of atrocities committed in the name of “Allah”
against the United States. Israel will make darn sure
of that. And what’s my evidence? Well, recent
history would be a good place to start. Does anybody remember the USS Cole? In October,
2000 while refueling in the Port of Aden, the USS Cole
was sunk by a small boat loaded with explosives,
resulting in the death of 17 soldiers and injuring
another 39. Samples of the explosives taken from the
ships hull revealed that the explosive was of a type
only available in the U.S. and…(drum roll please)
that’s right-Israel! How about the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Sanna?
In October 2008 Yemeni security forces arrested a
group of alleged Islamists militants linked to Israeli
intelligence in connection to that provocatuered
attack. The network was described as 40 people from
different Arab nationalities that were spying for the
Mossad. Say it ain’t so, Joe! Israel has even been linked to the Somali piracy
trade when Somali pirates were found to have telephone
links to former Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert’s
office. Nasty business. Now how could our “only ally in the Middle East” do
such awful things to their best friend in the whole
wide world? Simple. It’s the old Mossad “we will
wage war by way of deception” technique of carrying
out attacks on your ally and blaming it on the one’s
you want your ally to attack in retaliation (in
layman’s terms of course). So what’s the hubbub, bub? Why all this activity
concentrated in and around Yemen? Well, Israel has
always salivated over controlling that region. In an
article appearing in “The Yemen Times” on October 26,
2008 titled “Israeli Strategy to occupy Al-Mandab
Strait” Najeeb Al-Ghurbani writes: “The first President of the Zionist government
David Goryon expressed his state’s aspirations to
control the Red Sea in 1949. He rather said, “We are
besieged from land frontiers while sea is the only
passage to the outside world and the only means for
establishing communication with other continents.” If you want an even better grasp on the
Israeli strategy you can find it in Saudi Arabian
Colonel Turki Al-Anazi’s “Strategy Research Project”
document titled “Strategic Importance of the Red
Sea”. Starting on page 13 under the heading “Israeli
Strategy”, Col. Al-Anazi states: “Free navigation to and from Eilat is
considered absolutely essential to Israel’s security
and economic interests and to reduce Israel’s
political isolation, due to the enmity with its Arab
neighbors. The Red Sea’s importance for Israel grew since
it is the best waterway for shipping and trade with
East Africa and the Far East. The prime concern for
the Israelis is to secure free passage through the
straits of the Red Sea so it would not be under any
political or economical pressure. The Israeli strategy in the Red Sea stands on
certain bases. First, the necessity of Israel’s security that
demands controlling the straits and waterways of the
Red Sea and preventing any of its adversaries from
controlling them. Secondly, the Red Sea is vital to Israel’s
economic well being since it’s a maritime route to the
Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean’s and links it to
Asian and African trading markets. The Israeli’s even set their own goals dealing
with the Red Sea region, which are: 1.) To secure free navigation on the Red
Sea 2.) To accomplish a strategic depth in the
Red Sea, which enable Israel to monitor the Arab
military in this region 3.) To break any Arab blockade on any of the
Red Sea straits, waterways or on the Israeli ships 4.) To guarantee and secure the civilian
line and military lines in the Red Sea which are
directed to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal
or to the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Bab Al-Mandab.” So it should come at no suprise that Connecticut
Senator and Israel-firster Joe Lieberman wants a
pre-emptive strike on Yemen. Not only does he want
retaliation for the failed attempt to blow up a Delta
airliner in Detroit by Nigerian student Umar Farouk
Abdulmutallab; but it’s also the fulfillment of a
lifelong Israeli dream. And since we’ve touched on the subject of the
Christmas day “Fruit of the BOOM!” false flag event, I
might as well point out that even that smells of
Israeli mischief. When you consider that security at
the Amsterdam airport where our alleged terrorist
sailed through was run by an Israeli company ICTS (the
same company responsible for security for every
airport from which the 9-11 terrorists departed) and
when you factor in that his father (who is mistakenly
reported by the MSM to be a Nigerian banker) is an
arms dealer with intimate and far reaching ties
to Israel and the Mossad, you can’t blame me for
sending up red flags all over the place. But I know. You’re going to tell me that Obama
has already assured us that he has no intention of
sending troops into Yemen, right? Well, actually I
believe him. How can he? We’re already over-extended
with a war in Afghanistan and one staring in
Pakistan. Where is he going to get the troops? Now
Bush might try to pull off a crazy thing like that but
that’s not Obama’s style. Obama is a protégé of
Zbigniew Brzezinski and using your own men and
resources to fight wars is not how old Zbig rolls.
Brzezinski’s strategy is one of proxy wars.
Brzezinski method is to pit one group against the
other in order to destabilize the region. An example
of this is the creation of al-Queda in Afghanistan (by
none other than Obama’s current Defense Secretary
Robert Gates). The U.S. trained and equipped a
fighting force and pitted them against the Russians.
Nice way to save some scratch while at the same time
devastating your opponent. So how can this strategy be applied to an
offensive in Yemen? Well, I tend to side with Webster
Tarpley here and his assessment of the situation.
Tarpley points out that the objective in Yemen is to
break it up into micro-states and mini-states. And
there are at least four groups that can be used to
facilitate this. To the north are the Shiite Houthie
rebels who are supported by Iran and fighting in
opposition to the central government. Then we have
the Saudi backed Sunni who are in support of the
central government. Throw in some hard lined
Communist left-overs from the old soviet days and a
bunch of Guantanamo ex-cons and escaped prisoners
joining the CIA…uh, I mean…al-Queda and you’ve got the
makings of one hell of a party! And of course after they get through killing each
other off and pieces of Yemen start breaking into
sub-regions and enclaves, Obama can step in with his
Nobel prize in hand and offer humanitarian aid and
assistance; which essentially means Wall Street,
Tel-Aviv and London coming in for the kill under the
President’s left cover. And by the time its all over, the U.S. will have
set a nice little table for it’s client state Israel
to feast upon. But that’s just my opinion. What do I know? |
