The Impending War to Create the New World Order

Preparations for the impeding war and to actually create the "New World Order" in the Middle East are moving ahead very quickly; even the domestic politics of the situation in the US has the Administration cautious and hesitant with the mid-term US election looming.

Many steps are underway to enhance the U.S. Israeli, Turkish military alliance that has been written about in the past while. The Jordanians and others are involved as well; though far from secret. One of the developments is that with the Turks in the lead, U.S. and Turks have taken over three air bases in northern years now, because of the "No Fly Zones" which has divided Iraq into segments. These bases, as well as many others in the region, especially in Turkey and Qatar, are being quickly readied for the major regional war ahead; plus of course U.S. has major military facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and special relations with Israel and Egypt, as well as growing military relationships with various South Asian countries, including those that were once part of the Soviet Union.

The frightened and shaking Saudi Government has taken a new step to control dissent and opposition in the kingdom. Regardless of what the Saudi Royals say in public, since the 9/11, the CIA infestation of the Kingdom had been considerably stepped up. One demand now being implemented by the Saudis is to try and bring all the Mosques and Imams – many of whom are very much opposed to the U.S. and Israeli policies – much more into line. And one way of doing that is the new decree from the Riyadh-capital is that all satellite dishes in Mosques and associated homes of Imams be removed as "not to conflict" with their religious duties.

A special elite secret American military ops team coupled with a still expanding covert CIA presence, has been dispatched to Jordan to protect King Abdullah, who sits on the last Hashemite Throne. Last August the U.S, took over direct protection of the American installed President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, after he dismissed his own military forces from that role; clearly fearing a coup or assassination. In Jordan, the "excuse" for taking this further still, as is now known that something is afoot, is that more American military are showing up to protect Jordan against a possible Iraqi-inspired coup, especially now that the U.S. and Jordanian Hashemites have shown an interest in "returning" one of their own to the throne in Baghdad. Feisal II was the last Hashemite King in Iraq, installed by the British until the bloody revolution in 1958 when his household was dragged through the dusty streets and rather literally dismembered.

But there is also growing fear in Jordan of civil uprising and a popular revolution. Indeed, some astute observers have concluded that King Abdullah’s public utterances these days, while appearing to be against the coming war, are actually designed to mask the ongoing and still growing collaboration between his regime and, the U.S.-Israeli-U.K.-Turkish alliance, protecting his hold over power until the Americans have greater forces in the region and a war is imminent, then his public stance will change.
