Heard On Radio Confirming Orders For Simulated Attack On U.S. Aircraft Carrier Near Taiwan….
Unsurprisingly, the package of 13 Chinese combat aircraft, (including eight H-6 bombers) entering Taiwan’s ADIZ last Saturday were carrying out a mock attack on USS Theodore Roosevelt.
As already reported in detail, a total of 28 aircraft, including as many as eight PLAAF (People’s Liberation Army Air Force) H-6 bombers, “intruded” into Taiwan’s ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) between January 23 and 24, 2021.
In particular, we noticed that the mission on Saturday January 23, was conducted as the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group (TRCSG), led by USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier entered the South China Sea (SCS) “to conduct routine operations”.
The simultaneous presence of the Chinese Xian H-6K in the region as the TRSG entered the South China Sea is particularly interesting, if we consider the role of the PLAAF bomber.
The H-6K is a highly modified variant from the original H-6 bomber (itself a Tu-16 derivative), designed for long-range/stand-off maritime or land strike capability with long-range anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles.
In short, it is capable of attacking U.S. carrier battle groups or other priority targets with up to six YJ-12 ASCM (Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles) [pictured above] and 6/7 KD-20 ALCMs.”
Dealing with the YJ-12, it has a range of 400 km, can reach speeds of up to Mach 3, and is capable of performing airborne evasive manoeuvres approaching the target: these features make this ASCM (Anti-Ship Cruise Missile) difficult for Aegis Combat Systems and SM-2 surface-to-air missiles that protect U.S. carrier strike groups.
A confirmation that the mission flown on January 23 was simulating an air strike on the U.S. aircraft carrier comes from the Financial Times, that reported:
“People familiar with intelligence collected by the US and its allies said the bombers and some of the fighter aircraft involved were conducting an exercise that used a group of US Navy vessels led by the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in the same area as a simulated target.
Pilots of H-6 bombers could be heard in cockpit conversations confirming orders for the simulated targeting and release of anti-ship missiles against the carrier.
Biden Taps Anti-Israel BDS Activist for Top White House Intel Job.
29 January 2021
The Biden administration is tapping for a top intelligence post a Palestinian-American who spent years at the forefront of efforts to boycott Israel and danced in front of a banner calling Israel an apartheid state.
The selection of Maher Bitar [pictured above] to be the senior director for intelligence programs at the National Security Council is already generating concerns that he will use the post to diminish intelligence sharing between the United States and Israel.
Bitar spent years leading anti-Israel organizations that promote the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which wages economic warfare on Israel.
In college, he was a leader in Students for Justice in Palestine, a pro-BDS campus group known for bullying Jewish students.
A 2006 yearbook picture from Georgetown University, where Bitar attended school, shows him posing before a sign that reads "Divest from Israel Apartheid." [pictured above]
Well done Joe!
Ezekiel 38/9 – With US on the Sidelines, Russia, Iran and Turkey Seek Syria Solution.
30 January 2021
Russia, Iran and Turkey signalled their continued status as the most influential powers in Syria with the release of a joint statement late Thursday. It comes at the end of the first first full week of a new U.S. administration, with a third consecutive president faced with how to handle the Arab country's near decade-long crisis.
The trio's statement emerged following consultations on the sidelines of the fifth round of the Geneva-based peace process they oversee in efforts to establish a new unity constitution for Syria, made after meetings with delegations from Syria and U.N. Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen.
In it, they "reaffirmed their strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic." Moscow, Tehran and Ankara also "stressed the need for all parties to respect these principles," according to a readout shared by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
The three powers praised the ongoing Syrian Constitutional Committee, which they said should be allowed to work "without outside interference and the imposition of an external schedule."
Almost exactly three years ago, Russia, Iran and Turkey established themselves as guarantors for efforts to end the ongoing war in Syria as part of a trilateral format launched January 2017 in the Kazakh capital of Astana, since renamed Nur Sultan. Thursday's statement announced that the next upcoming Astana session would take place on February 16 and 17 in the Russian Black Sea city of Sochi.
Meanwhile, the United States remains diplomatically isolated on the sidelines, [“have you come to take a spoil?”] despite having hundreds of troops deployed in the war-torn nation.
As another regional milestone is reached, the tenth anniversary of the Arab Spring, which rocked the Middle East and North Africa, Syria's bloody conflict sits stalled in a bloody stalemate.
With major support from Russia and Iran, the Syrian government under President Bashar al-Assad has regained control of much of the country.
The rebels and jihadis who attempted to overthrow him have been relegated to mere pockets of territory, many of them located across the northern border with Turkey, which sponsors opposition forces.
Russia has continued to back regular Syrian military units, including in clashes over the Islamist holdout of Idlib province, where Turkish troops have installed observation posts in rebel territory.
Iran and allied militias also back the Syrian government, and have been targeted by Israeli airstrikes.
The situation today resembles exactly the scenario just prior to the fateful Ezekiel invasion of Israel from the north in the “latter days”. Yet, most of the world's media are treating it as something relatively inconsequential.
Nothing could be further from the truth than that – with the church and the world at large slumbering through these extraordinarily prophetic times the events that will burst suddenly onto the world stage will shock many people.
Tony Blair Pushes Boris to Create Global Coronavirus Vaccine Passport at G7.
29 January 2021
Former British Labour prime minister Tony Blair is pushing Boris Johnson to use British leadership of the G7 to create a global vaccine passport.
“The UK faces a choice: lead or be led,” insists a new report from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, established by the Iraq War architect after he stepped away from electoral politics. “If we choose to wait, a confusing array of different passports await our citizens,” the Institute claims, suggesting that a global vaccine passport — or “Global Covid Travel Pass” — would be in the people’s best interests.
“We can avoid this and the complications of multiple passes and varying travel requirements if the UK takes the lead on developing a single, global COVID pass,” the report adds. “In the year of the UK’s G7 presidency, there has never been a more momentous opportunity — or need — for the government to show global leadership. One option is that everyone just does their own thing, which is much more chaotic and difficult to manage. Or secondly, there’s a set of global rules in place that you may not be that happy with,” Blair told The Telegraph.
“It’s better to have common rules and a common verification system, so that people know what your disease status is and know it with some validation,” insisted the globalist leader — raising the prospect of a worldwide health authority choosing who can travel, and who cannot.
Reports indicate that health and tech giants including Microsoft, the Mayo Clinic, and Oracle are already working on a digital vaccination passport. Top government ministers previously denied that the British government was looking at such a document, amid fears that it could introduce a “papers, please” culture redolent of the worst excesses of Continental European government, in which the unvaccinated could find themselves reduced to second-class status.
Despite these denials, the government is now already trialling vaccine passports in the form of smartphone apps. The European Union has already announced that it will “recognise” vaccine passports, and is actively considering proposals to issue them to all vaccinated persons.
Mr Blair did not indicate whether or not the introduction of Global Covid Travel Pass requirements should mean that border forces could begin turning back the illegal aliens who have continued to enter British territory in large numbers throughout the pandemic, apparently unaffected by travel bans.
