Will the U.S. Attack Iran Before September 21? - Are CIA Front Companies
Investing $4.5 Billion to Profit from attacking Iran?

By Michael E. Salla, Ph.D.

There has been much recent speculation that the Bush administration is about
to authorize a massive preemptive aerial assault against Iran. According to
Alexis Debat, a national security expert, the Pentagon has prepared for
airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran that would in three days destroy
Iran's military infrastructure
( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2369001.ece ). Such
an assault has been long in preparation and was recently fully completed
according to a Navy whistleblower currently serving on a U.S. aircraft
carrier. The whistleblower, a female officer, said that "all the targets
have been chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific aircraft, bases,
carriers, missile cruisers and so forth" (see: http://rense.
com/general78/we.htm ). Asked why she
would risk her career to disclose such sensitive information, she replied
that most Naval officers are opposed to the strike but are ignored by more
senior officials and the Bush administration.

What gives these reports of an imminent attack against Iran greater
credibility is an August 2007 purchases of almost 4.5 billion dollars in
particular type of stock called 'put options' and 'call options' which are
based on a dramatic shift in the U.S. stock market (see: http://dont_use_this.
com/yw8q4f ). Essentially, a "put option" is
where an investor speculates that the market will drop dramatically, say
30-50%, whereas a "call option" is where the investor bets particular stocks
will rise just as dramatically. If the stock fails to dramatically shift
either up or down by September 21, then the investors stand to lose much
from their investment. Such an investment is very unusual and has many
market analysts puzzled as to why someone would risk such a large sum unless
they had some insider information.

A similar stock market event happened in the weeks before 911 when anonymous
investors made great profits when they successfully 'predicted' a dramatic
drop in airline and insurances stocks, while also 'predicting' dramatic
increases in stocks of corporations producing military armaments (see:
http://911research. 
wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html ). The investments were so suspicious that
they became subject to an insider trading investigation by U.S. Securities
Exchange Commission (SEC) but the no one was ever identified or charged.
This was despite a determined effort by the SEC to find who was behind the
mysterious investments.

The parallels with 'put" and "call option" purchases just before 911 has led
to much speculation that the recent $4.5 billion investment is based on
insider knowledge of another 911 event before September 21. This has led to
speculation that a catastrophic event is about to occur in the U.S. Another
explanation for a dramatic shift in the stock market is that China will
desert the US currency leading to a collapse in the US dollar. Both
explanations would essentially lead to a collapse in some U.S. stocks, while
other stocks would rise.

A more plausible explanation for the mysterious billion dollar investments
is that hidden investors have insider knowledge that an attack against Iran
will occur before September 21. If an attack occurred along the scale
described by emerging reports, then the U.S. stock market would collapse as
oil prices escalated dramatically. This would spark a global recession, and
cause great hardship to many Americans who would find their investments and
jobs at risk.

It is very likely that the planned massive aerial attack against Iran's
military infrastructure and underground nuclear facilities will use bunker
busting nuclear weapons. The question is, what can be done to prevent a
preemptive military attack on Iran that may use tactical nuclear weapons to
destroy its nuclear facilities?

In 2006, a similar effort to stage a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran
was prevented by a revolt of the generals. According to Seymour Hersh:

"In late April, the military leadership, headed by General Pace, achieved a
major victory when the White House dropped its insistence that the plan for
a bombing campaign include the possible use of a nuclear device to destroy
Iran's uranium-enrichment plant at Natanz, nearly two hundred miles south of
Tehran. . "Bush and Cheney were dead serious about the nuclear planning,"
the former senior intelligence official told me. "And Pace stood up to them.
Then the world came back: 'O.K., the nuclear option is politically
unacceptable.' " http://www.newyorke

r.com/archive/2006/07/10/060710fa_fact .

It may be significant that General Peter Pace was not reappointed as
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Pace was opposed to a nuclear strike
against Iran. Was he not reappointed in order to clear the decks for a more
permissive environment within the Joint Chiefs of Staff for an attack that
could use tactical nuclear weapons? It appears so given the coincidence of
reports of an imminent attack and purchase of $4.5 billion in stock options
predicting a collapse in the US stock market.

The current military plans available to the public mention only conventional
munitions but it is more likely that some tactical nuclear weapons will be
used to take out Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities. The effect of
tactical nuclear weapons to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities would be
devastating. Radioactive contamination would disperse widely affecting the
health of many. At the same time, Iran's military and much of its civilian
infrastructure would be destroyed by conventional munitions. This would
restrict Iran's abilities to cope with the health and humanitarian impact of
the use of nuclear weapons, and destruction of nuclear facilities.

The question to be asked is "who are the hidden investors with insider
knowledge that can gain them billions in short term profits?" This answer
will give an important clue to the long term agenda being played out, and
the actors involved. In the case of 911, similar investors were able to
evade detection from an official investigation by the U.S. Securities
Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC launched an unprecedented investigation
that deputized "hundreds, if not thousands, of key players in the private
sector" (see: http://911research.

wtc7.net/sept11/stockputs.html ). According to a former Los Angeles Police
Officer, Michael Ruppert, what effectively happens when individuals are
deputized is that they are sworn to secrecy on national security grounds.
This was a very effective way of keeping secret what was discovered in the
SEC investigation. What kind of investor would have the power to subvert an
SEC investigation in this manner? The most likely answer is the CIA.

CIA front companies annually supply funds for a black budget used to fund
covert national security projects . The black budget has been estimated to
range between 1.0 to 1.7 trillion dollars annually which is funneled through
the CIA to various military-corporate entities fulfilling such projects
(see: http://www.scoop . 
co.nz/stories/HL0401/S00151.htm ). The massive size of the black budget is
needed to fund a second Manhattan Project - projects related to technologies
so advanced that many claim them to be extraterrestrial in origin. Credible
whistleblowers have come forward to claim the existence of such technologies
and of a high level government cover up of extraterrestrial life (see:
www.disclosureproje ct.com ). They claim
that most Congressional officials are not briefed on extraterrestrial
related projects due to national security concerns. Consequently, Congress
is not aware of or permit appropriations for a second Manhattan Project,
funds therefore need to be generated in alternative ways.

The CIA is able to perform this function of secretly raising revenue through
the 1949 CIA Act which authorizes the CIA to expend funds "without regard to
any provisions of law". The CIA therefore does not have to follow any legal
requirements for the funds it procures from various sources, and funnels to
military-corporate entities directly responsible for the second Manhattan
project.

There needs to be public opposition to a preemptive military attack against
Iran, and exposure of the underlying agenda behind it and those intending to
profit from it. An informed public is the best safeguard against unwarranted
abuses of executive power such as a preemptive attack against Iran that does
not have the support of the American people or Congress. In addition to
raising public awareness, it will be very helpful for individuals to project
thoughts of peace and goodwill to the Middle East, and especially to Iran.
The Princeton Project on Global Conscious Project at Princeton University
has demonstrated the effect of large numbers of people placing their
attention in ways that can impact on global events (see: http://noosphere.
princeton.edu/ ). If millions of people
could project a positive vision of peace and harmony to Iran and U.S.
military forces in the region, then such a preemptive attack may be
prevented.

The period leading up to September 21 will be critical for the whole planet
as the signs are all too evident that a preemptive attack against Iran,
almost certainly involving nuclear weapons, is imminent. The humanitarian
cost in terms of possible radioactive fallout, and casualties from the
destruction of Iran's military and much of its civilian infrastructure may
be catastrophic for the Persian Gulf region. Furthermore, the U.S. and
global economy will go into a deep free fall in the event of dramatic
increases in oil prices and further instability in the Middle East. Out of
this looming tragedy, investors with possible CIA connections and insider
knowledge, plan to profit in ways that may be used to secretly fund a second
Manhattan Project.

Original Message I've written off the 'attack Iran' possibility as crazy and very unlikely - however, read this! It's time we all get more active - My experience is well over 9 out of 10 are dead asleep -DEAD - and I'm out there among thousands of people - same as Venice -lots of fear that takes the form of buying icecream and watching 'stupid' monkey acts on the street. If I had a nickle for every 3 second glance - I'd be rich. People live in their private box - my suggestion - keep getting informed lots more and be active influencing others AND stop buying 50% of the gas that you buy! FREE SPEECH is your obligation, Arhata
Hi,

Is or isn't the US going into Iran? That is the question. The latest from GAII see link below and their news page suggests it is still a possibility that the home nuclear detonations could take place, though they may have been cancelled:

• • And all this camouflage talk about committing an unprecedented crime against humanity in Iran - thereby risking Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait becoming uninhabitable – should be dropped (as may already have occurred). The filthy mess at home is too rancid for such loose and bombastic considerations to have any meaning. Link:

[link to www.worldreports.org]

The following suggests the plans are already drawn up. Will such plans be booted out together with the current administration when its term is up, or will something happen before the new administration to be elected or selected takes over?

Remember, surprise cannot befall the informed. Spread the content of these possibilities far and wide.

FROM THE AIRWAVES .. Source - TJT

September 05, 2007

I have a friend who is an LSO on a carrier attack group that is planning and
staging a strike group deployment into the Gulf of Hormuz. (LSO: Landing
Signal Officer- she directs carrier aircraft while landing) She told me we
are going to attack Iran. She said that all the Air Operation Planning and
Asset Tasking are finished. That means that all the targets have been
chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific aircraft, bases, carriers,
missile cruisers and so forth.

I asked her why she is telling me this.

Her answer was really amazing...

She started in the Marines and after 8 years her term was up. She had served
on a smaller Marine carrier, and found out through a friend knew there was
an opening for a junior grade LSO in a training position on a super-carrier.
She used the reference and the information and applied for a transfer to the
United States Navy. Since she had experience landing F-18Cs and Cobra
Gunships, and an unblemished combat record, she was ratcheted into the job,
successfully changing from the Marines to the Navy. Her role is still
aligned with the Marines since she generally is assigned to liaison with the
Marine units deploying off her carrier group.

Like most Marines and former Marines, she is largely apolitical. The fact
is, most Marines are trigger pullers and most trigger pullers could care
less who the President is. They simply want to be the tip of the sword when
it comes to defending the country. She voted once in her life and otherwise
was always in some forward post on the water during election season.

Something is wrong with the Navy and the Marines in her view. Always ready
to go in harms way, Marines rarely ever question unless it's a matter of
tactics or honor. But something seems awry. Junior and senior officers are
starting to grumble, roll their eyes in the hallways. The strain of
deployments is beginning to hit every jot and tittle of the Marines and it's
beginning to seep into the daily conversation of Marines and Naval officers
in command decision.

"I know this will sound crazy coming from a Naval officer", she said. "But
we're all just waiting for this administration to end. Things that happen at
the senior officer level seem more and more to happen outside of the purview
of XOs and other officers who typically have a say-so in daily combat and
flight operations. Today, orders just come down from the mountaintop and
there's no questioning. In fact, there is no discussing it. I have seen more
than one senior commander disappear and then three weeks later we find out
that he has been replaced. That's really weird. It's also really weird
because everyone who has disappeared has questioned whether or not we should
be staging a massive attack on Iran."

"We're not stupid. Most of the members of the fleet read well enough to know
what is going on world-wise. We also realize that anyone who has any doubts
is in danger of having a long military career yanked out from under them.
Keep in mind that most of the people I serve with are happy to be a part of
the global war on terror. It's just that the touch points are what we see
since we are the ones out here who are supposedly implementing this grand
strategy. But when you liaison with administration officials who don't know
that Iranians don't speak Arabic and have no idea what Iranians live like,
then you start having second thoughts about whether these Administration
officials are even competent."

I asked her about the attack, how limited and so forth.

"I don't think it's limited at all. We are shipping in and assigning every
damn Tomahawk we have in inventory. I think this is going to be massive and
sudden, like thousands of targets. I believe that no American will know when
it happens until after it happens. And the consequences ... whatever the
consequences ... they will have to be lived with. I am sure if my father
knew I was telling someone in a news organization that we were about to
launch a supposedly secret attack that it would be treason. But something
inside me tells me to tell it anyway."

I asked her why she was suddenly so cynical.

"I have become cynical only recently. I also don't believe anyone will be
able to stop this. Bush has become something of an Emperor. He will give the
command, and cruise missiles will fly and aircraft will fly and people will
die, and yet few of us here are really able to cobble together a great
explanation of why this is a good idea. Of course many of us can give you
the 4H Club lecture on democracy in the Mid East. But if you asked any of
the flight officers whether they have a clear idea of what the goal of this
strike is, your answer would sound like something out of a think tank policy
paper. But it's not like Kosovo or when we relieved the tsunami victims.
There everyone could tell you in a sentence what we were here doing."

"That's what's missing. A real sense of purpose. What's missing is the
answer to what the hell are we doing out here threatening this country with
all this power? Last night in the galley, an ensign asked what right do we
have to tell a sovereign nation that they can't build a nuke. I mean the
table got EF Hutton quiet. Not so much because the man was asking a question
that was off culture. But that he was asking a good question. In fact, the
discussion actually followed afterwards topside where someone in our group
had to smoke a cigarette. The discussion was intelligent but also in lowered
voices. It's like we aren't allowed to ask the questions that we always ask
before combat. It's almost as if the average seaman or soldier is doing all
the policy work."

She had to hang up. She left by telling me that she believes the attack is a
done deal. "It's only a matter of time before their orders come and they
will be sent to station and told to go to Red Alert. She said they were
already practicing traps, FARP and FAST." (Trapping is the act of catching
the tension wires when landing on the carrier, FARP is Fleet Air Combat
Maneuvering Readiness Program- practice dog-fighting- and FAST is Fleet Air
Superiority Training).

She seemed lost. The first time in my life I have ever heard her sound
off-rhythm, or unsure of why she is doing something. She knows that there is
something rotten in the Naval Command and she, like many of her associates
are just hoping that the election brings in someone new, some new situation,
or something.

"Yes. We're gong to hit Iran, big time. Whatever political discussions that
are going on is window dressing and perhaps even a red herring. I see what's
going on below deck here in the hangars and weapons bays. And I have a sick
feeling about how it's all going to turn out."
