My own take on this is that we are highly likely to get some form of false-flag attack around the time of the Olympics. Where, by whom, and for what purpose: well, we can line up all the usual suspects, but given that false-flag attacks normally have the backing of a state, with access to proper explosives and working weapons, rather than partially-working explosives and replicas, means that London may not be a good place to visit, during the second half of the year. At the moment, there are far too many people and governments who would happily benefit from a "told-you-so" event.

P.S. I do know that PIRA became rather good with so-called improvised explosives...

I'd like to see the US Navy give the Persians a shoeing, and take their coast line off them while they are at it...

Information Dissemination: Preparing for War

In other words, the Chief of Naval Operations announced to the Senate Armed Services Committee this morning specific details about preparations for war with Iran, and in response the Senators drooled on themselves in silent capitulation. The only thing missing from that scene from this mornings Twilight Zone moment in the Senate was the CNO knocking on the microphone asking "is this thing on" for dramatic effect.

When the CNO tells Senators in a public hearing that the Navy is deploying four little 1300 ton minesweepers to the other side of the world, in any context that can be described as the US Navy preparing for war with Iran. Deploying minesweepers to the Persian Gulf isn't like a typical 6 month deployment of a Navy warship, because some big commercial vessel will almost certainly be chartered to carry the ships across the ocean. This is a big deal.

This is also what a naval buildup for war against Iran looks like.

Mods: Any chance of all these Iran threads being brought together?
