Talk of Imminent War Against Iran Amid an Attack of 'Coincidences'

From Len Hart

The "coincidences":

A series of internet disruptions due to cut telecom cables that has cut Iran off the Internet! Israel is not affected. An Iranian Oil Bourse, where oil, petrochemicals and gas will be traded in various non-dollar currencies, is set to open this month. Israelis have been told to prepare for war, presumably with Iran.

Before leaving the Middle East, Bush is reported to have promised Benjamin Netanyahu that the US would join Israel in a nuclear strike on Iran. In Israel, there is talk of a "...a rain of missiles" for which Israelis must prepare now.

Speaking on radio as part of a military propaganda offensive, retired general Udi Shani said: "The next war will see a massive use of ballistic weapons against the whole of Israeli territory."

Shani was tasked recently with drawing up a report on the way the military authorities operated during Israel's 2006 summer war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

During that conflict thousands of rockets hit Israel, but were limited to the north of the country from where hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated.

The character of war has changed, said the general.

"Strikes to the rear must now be taken into account -- that is what will come and we must prepare in a totally different way for this eventuality," he said.

--Israelis told to prepare 'rocket rooms' for war

By the time the following dispatch hit what was left of the internet, it was clear: the world is under attack by organized coincidences:

DOHA (AFP) — An undersea telecoms cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged, disrupting services, telecommunications provider Qtel said on Sunday, the latest such incident in less than a week.

The cable was damaged between the Qatari island of Haloul and the UAE island of Das on Friday, Qtel's head of communications Adel al Mutawa told AFP.

Cables were also damaged last week in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Dubai, causing widespread disruption to Internet and international telephone services in Egypt, Gulf Arab states and south Asia.

The cause of the damage is not yet known.

--DOHA (AFP) — Qatar reports new damage to Gulf undersea cables

It is amazing how much damage can be done by a rogue coincidence.

A repair ship was expected to begin work to fix the two cables in the Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday. They were damaged on Wednesday, rupturing connections not only in Egypt but also thousands of kilometres away.

--Qatar reports new damage to Gulf undersea cables

The sub-plot that ties all these "coincidences" together is the planned opening of the Iranian oil bourse where petrochemicals, oil and gas will be traded in non-dollar currencies. Iran Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari has said that the bourse will be open during the Ten-Day Dawn, ceremonies marking the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. There's more at: Oil Bourse

Making these developments especially ominous are Bush's repeated threats and promises to Israel that he will join a nuclear attack on Iran. I wonder if this improbable attack of the cable killing coincidences, denying oil traders access to the net, is enough to delay the opening of Iran's planned oil bourse.

Given the precipitous fall of the dollar, only idiots will not consider the effect that an Iranian oil bourse will have on a war-mongering US. Bush, of course, denies that his wars of aggression have anything to do with oil and, in a very, very narrow technical sense, perhaps not! They are, in fact, motivated by the fact that over the course of a century, the US economy was utterly dependent upon the availability of cheap energy, initially from West Texas, but later, the Sheiks!

One wonders what goes on inside the heads of blithering idiots, primarily those who wage war upon their own people, those idiots who threaten the world from atop a precarious perch. So precarious the American position --one wonders if impeaching and removing this blithering idiot now is simply too little too late. Even now, however, good people are morally bound to oppose Bush even if it is with a dying breath beneath a mushroom cloud!

What a very compelling interpretation of events. The problem I have with it is that it's contradicted, really rather obviously, by empirical facts.

You assert that Iran is off the internet. One would assume, were that the case, that sites hosted in Iran would be inaccessible from the US. This, assuming you have even a basic knowledge of the internet, is a fairly easy thing to test.

I started with the assumption that www.iran.ir would be a site hosted in Iran. Checking in with ARIN, who assigns IP addresses at www.arin.org, I queried and discovered that yes, Iran.ir was hosted on an Iraqi IP.

Having established this fact, I typed www.iraq.ir into a browser. Not being fluent in the language, I have no idea what that site says... but since I got here from Digg and many others will as well, I figured I'd note the fact so that hopefully at least some impressionable young diggers will not go off thinking that your article has even the vaguest base in reality.

Iran was partially off the internet, but the island of Kish was TOTALLY off the internet! These cable cuts have served their purpose of delaying the opening of Iran's Oil Bourse, which will undoubtedly devalue the American Dollar. This has bought the U.S. 1 or 2 weeks time so that they can invent an appropriate false flag operation to get the U.S. public behind the war with Iran. Keep your eyes open people, something big is going to go down. Only problem for the U.S. though, is that the Russians are not as dumb as Bush. This could be an expanded regional war or WWIII.
