Stratfor Intelligence for the week of August 17, 2008 gives a snapshot of the world Stratfor Intel Week of Aug 17, 2008: Snipers sparked Russian-Georgian war So then - World War 3 starts - by ACCIDENT? Aug 19 Reliable sources in Georgia say the Russian onslaught into South Ossetia was prompted by Georgian snipers who apparently were picking off separatists in response to the killing of 7 Georgian peacekeepers, then ran into a team of Russian peacekeepers and killed all but 3. It happened in the days before Aug. 7, when Russian forces penetrated sovereign Georgian territory. South Ossetians, under fire from Georgian snipers, were not aware of where the shots were coming from and began shelling Georgian positions outside South Ossetia. But the fleeing Georgians killed a number of Russian peacekeepers, triggering the conflict. Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin Snipers sparked Russian-Georgian war: Russian troops in South Ossetia, nbc: PHOTO, Russian missile range: Aug 18 Russia promises to pull out of Georgia today. I will believe it when I see it. The opening of the Olympic Games covered Georgia's invasion of South Ossetia. This has been called a 'proxy war' between the USA and RUSSIA by several sources. I do NOT believe it was Georgia's decision. Israeli commandoes and the US Marines were in Georgia before the 'incident.' I DO NOT excuse Russian tactics! But whatever occurred to bring Russia into Georgia was a careful plan. Russia is a COMMUNIST country, contrary to what some ignorant people claim. They are brutal. Unlike the USA, Russia knows how to WIN. I do not have ALL the FACTS - NO ONE DOES. When I try to find the truth and balance, I am often hated by both sides. ISRAEL has been involved with Georgia, oil and weapons. Nobody knows where 200 - some say 2,000 - Soviet-era nukes in Ukraine are. Will Ukraine use them against Russia? Do they have any other choice - but to use nukes or be overrun by Russia? Will Russia nuke the USA - soon? Russia tried to poison/kill Ukraine President Yushchenko awhile back. This blog has links. 'Tree' website has many many topics, threads Ukraine under Russian threat, blog from BBC: Russian Nukes for Syria Aug 17 Moscow appears to be eying Poland, the Middle East, and possibly Ukraine, as the main arenas for its reprisals. Russian retaliation for America's missiles in Poland and US-Israeli military aid to Georgia comes in the form of cruise missiles in Syria. Russian warships, submarines and long-range bombers may be armed with nuclear warheads. DUH! I am SURE they have been for a very long time!! Moscow plans big Russian bases in Syria and the release of advanced weapons systems. Assad will be invited to Moscow soon to finalize these plans in detail. Russian nukes in Syria, DEBKA: Aug 17 Russia gives mixed signals. Moscow signs cease-fire but its troops dig in across Georgia Russia gives mixed signals, NBC: Aug 16 Georgians are being abused. Against their will, Georgian older men hauled debris from the streets of South Ossetia. Jpost Russia nuke Poland Rice lands in Tbilisi Aug 15 Russia warned Poland it was "exposing itself to a strike 100 percent." Aug 16 Russian military around Tbilisi and Gori have NO intention of leaving. US-Russia tensions at highest pitch since the Cold War's end. HELLO? It never ended!! Russia blocks the Georgia capitol of Tbilisi in the east from their main economy, the ports on the west. They did NOT come in to leave at the 'demand' of a lame duck president. In five hours of arm-twisting, Con Rice persuaded Georgian president Saakashvili to sign to accept a ceasefire. Yeah right. Rice couldnt accomplish anything GOOD. She does a lot of harm worldwide. Con Rice urged Russia and Georgia to sign the European truce. Russian troops in Georgia destroying Georgian military equipment. Moscow nuke Poland, Rice in Tbilisi, debka: U.S. and Poland set missile deal Aug 15, 2008 The United States and Poland reached a long-stalled deal to place an American missile defense base on Polish territory, in the strongest reaction so far to Russia's military operation in Georgia. Russia didnt like it. Well DUH. But the deal reflected growing alarm in countries like Poland, once conquered (raped) by Russia. American soldiers will temporarily staff air defense sites in Poland oriented toward Russia, and the United States would be obliged to defend Poland in case of an attack. Poland is a NATO member. US and Poland set missile deal, iht: Russia's attack on Georgia is disproportionate. WHY? To scare the other states into submission to communist Russia again. OIL and this pipeline war, Jerry Golden: Aug 15 - WIRES Russia has fired over two dozen SS-21 Ballistic Missiles into Georgia. Russian armored convoy moves deeper into Georgia. Rice yells hysterically, into the air, meaninglessly .... Russia Must Withdraw Immediately! Swine Flu in Georgia African Swine Fever in Georgia. US Plum Island Transfered Bio Weapons to Georgia. Biological Warfare Laboratory in the US for training especially for African Swine Fever, amongst other pathogens. Russia wants to be a pig, have some pig flu. The Republic of Georgia is having an outbreak of African Swine Fever. Georgia will be sending scientists to Plum Island Biological Warfare Lab in the USA for training especially for African Swine Fever, amongst other pathogens. African Swine Fever in Georgia: Swine Flu in Georgia, Biowatch: TOTAL WAR BE SURE your heart is right with GOD. Live as if you will die today. That America WILL be nuked is a done deal. When unknown. Where? Most believe New York-Washington DC. GOD will get Cali-pornia and Pacific NW with a terrible earthquake. It is hard to sort thru the crap to find facts. Poking the Bear by Michael Boldea is interesting, being he is in Romania and has both natural and prophetic knowledge. He has had a few visions of things to come. Read the balance, Sorcha cant be swallowed whole, but do discern the opposing pieces of the puzzle. Overarching it all is the new world order, the antichrist system, which is in place NOW. WHO will be 'the' antichrist? Putin wants to be, but he is hated. George W Bush wants to be dictator, but he is hated. Bill Clinton 'was' adored but put too many of his feet in his mouth. Imam Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama is adored to the point of worship. Imam Obama's mouth is full of flowery poison the sheepl swallow whole. Aug 8-16 Sorcha - DISCERN! America is marching towards total nuclear war. US and Israeli Soldiers killed in Georgia. Russia Orders `Destruction' of US Naval Armada In Persian Gulf. Putin has ordered full war alert to prepare for the defense of Iran against an imminent attack by the West. Kuwait went on war alert last week. Sorcha calls Georgia a puppet state of the USA and claims 'we' launched an unprovoked attack on the Russian enclave of South Ossetia. America has seriously miscalculated, as Putin has ordered the destruction of all oil pipelines going through Georgia to the West. TOTAL WAR: Russia Orders Destruction of US Navy: US, Israeli Soldiers Killed in Georgia: Poking the Bear, Michael Boldea: Visions from Central Europe There will be a great flame, a fire, in southern Russia, and Vladimir will stir up the people of Russia to go to war against Israel. Interesting this prophecy update is dated March 2008. WAR room Link - How Will World War III Begin? Like Sorcha, DISCERN ALL. Visions from Central Europe, Nyquist: Michael McClellan prophecies, overview, updates: Russia Invades Georgia prophecy, McClellan: WAR room, Michael McClellan: Early 21st Century, McClellan: Russia Plans to Keep Georgia Provinces Aug 15 Russia said Georgia could forget about getting back its two breakaway provinces, and sent tank columns to destroy Georgian military equipment. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice landed in Georgia to press the president to sign a deal. The Russian president met in the Kremlin with the leaders of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, a clear sign Moscow could absorb the regions even though the territory is internationally recognized as being within Georgia's borders. Russia challenged President Bush's demand that Russia respect Georgia sovereignty. (Why? Bush did not respect USA sovereignty when he signed NAFTA, NAU and SPP deals!) Georgia Can Forget Regaining Provinces, NewsMax: Russia Nuke USA Russia said an agreement that will allow the United States to install a missile defense battery in Poland exposes them to an attack. Russia has said repeatedly they will pre-emptively nuke the USA if they feel threatened. Russia has missiles and bombers in both Cuba and Venezuela. Russian and Chinese subs are off all 3 US coasts. Pakistan has nukes, and Musharef is done for. So I will not be shocked if there is a nuclear explosion in the USA homeland. I do not mean to 'predict' this, but there have been many visions about it. Some who have prepared for this for years feels it is imminent in days. Review Duduman and Gruver visions. Duduman saw Russia attack USA, vision: Henry Gruver visions of Russia-China attacking USA: AMERICA the LOST, Jerry Golden vision: PHOENIX, New World Order, Ed Waldon vision: U S A Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD (NOT OBAMA!). Psalm 33:12 6 Tele-scandalists Will DIE - and go to HELL "GOD is going to KILL them and send them to HELL," said Andrew Strom. Hard hitting audio sermon against prosperity doctrine. 6 prosperity preachers will be struck down dead and go straight to hell.

Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland (I do not believe these 2 are Christian), Oral Roberts son (ORU), Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer. REPORT from the field Joyce Meyer spoke during a buddhist festival in Viet Nam / Cambodia and revealed the names of the tribal people who know Jesus as their lord and saviour. Afterward the Christians and their children were tortured, then killed for their faith. Other Christians are in hiding.

We had no supplies, no food and very little water, we lost everything." Grand Canyon Redlands dam breaks, 400 evacuated. An earthen dam weakened by heavy rains broke near the Grand Canyon, flooding a town, hundreds pulled from the gorge by helicopter.

Diablo (devil) Canyon Nuclear Power Plant spokeswoman said that there was 'no danger' of a radiation leak. The blaze was in a non-nuclear part of the plant. The plant generates power for about 3 million homes in northern and central California.

Denver secret jail for DNC Denver built the facility in case of arrests during the Democratic Convention. The holding center, dubbed Gitmo on the Platte has security cameras, chain-link fences and barbed wire cells. Denver plans to use it for those arrested outside the DNC. They can process 60 arrestees per hour. I remember the DNC convention of 1968! blog - I live in Denver. We've had Blackhawks and Apaches buzzing the skyscrapers here at night. There have been enough folks in Army regalia to make it feel more like Crystal City than the Mile High City. The 16th Street Mall has a Federal Reserve building on it where I always take a moment to spit on the lawn in thanks. Denver secret jail for DNC, blog: Denver GITMO, 9news: DEATH CAMPS in the USA run by FEMA: Concentration Camps (DEATH CAMPS) in America: Denver - Cyanide Found in Hotel Room Aug 13 A pound of sodium cyanide was found in a Denver hotel room where the body of a Somali was discovered. The man may have also made Internet threats in July. They found a bottle containing about a pound of the white powder in his hotel room. Cyanide is a deadly fast-acting chemical, a tablespoon would kill you. "Not related to terrorism or the Democratic convention." LOL! Its terrorism! How dumb are we? The body of Saleman Abdirahman Dirie, 29 of Ottawa, Canada was found at The Burnsley Hotel, about 4 blocks from the state Capitol. He had been dead for several days. The net posting advocated violence against Christians (probably also against Jews). No connection to terror? LOL! Cyanide found in Denver hotel room : Dog Fight Over New Hampshire August 13, 2008 A woman from New Hampshire wrote to SQ that she saw several airplanes firing missles at a third plane (blog) and then the third plane flew off. Two other people also reported the incident. If you see a Russian plane - DUCK! The woman wrote...... The aircraft I saw looks like the skyhawk and a Mig 31. The skyhawk fired upon the other aircraft. My daughter and I were watching closely, because the noise these planes make is very loud. When we saw the shot fired, I yelled at my daughter to get into the house. My husband and 2 sons were watching from our deck, and were amazed by the events. This report is only one of several claiming Russia is awaiting 'the moment' to attack and invade the USA homeland. Dog Fight Over New Hampshire, SQ: blog: NO man-caused global warming! The latest ABC poll on "global warming" suggests more Americans are beginning to understand they are being manipulated by a big hoax. Wise Americans are not buying into the silly notion that the world is on the precipice of man-made, catastrophic climate change. Clear majorities support offshore oil drilling in currently restricted waters and production in off-limits wilderness areas. Finding new energy sources is more important than improving conservation. Few are smart enough to know the difference between cyclical, naturally occurring global warming and the man-made, variety. The good news about global warming: 1 in 3 hives wiped out in a year August 2008 - Honeybee population collapses in UK. The number of honeybees in the UK has dramatically declined in 2008. Nearly one in three beehives were wiped out during the winter and spring, prompting fears of a shortage of honey. Bad weather forced the bees to stay in their hives and stopped them hunting for pollen and nectar. This spells serious trouble for pollination services and honey producers. (ZC note - Are GM crops the culprit? ORGANIC gardeners report having healthy bees.) 1 in 3 Beehives wiped out in a year:August 16 - 19, 2008 ZionsCRY WORLD NEWS ZionsCRY ARCHIVE of TOPICS and past issues: US EVIL PLAN to divide Israel A detailed proposal for the creation of a Palestinian state was presented by Israel to the Palestinian Authority in recent weeks was heavily influenced by the U.S. and is largely based on an American-drafted plan, WND has learned. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert handed to PA President Mahmoud Abbas a plan for an Israeli withdrawal from most of the strategic West Bank and for parts of the Israeli Negev desert - Israeli territory undisputed by the international community - to become part of a Palestinian state. US plan to divide Israel: Jordan releases 4 prisoners convicted of killing IDF soldiers. They had been sentenced to life in prison in Israel, but were transferred to Jordan in 2007. The punishment for murder should be execution. For Jordan to free murderers means they are NOT Israel's friend. Is Temple Mount God's time bomb? Aug 14 Jerusalem is in the center of the world. Sir Isaac Newton had knowledge of the Scriptures with a special interest in prophecy. He believed there was a time-encrypted language, and the key to deciphering this code was the Temple of Solomon. He wrote extensively on the length measurements of the Temple and suggested it propheticly intersected time and dimension. Perhaps he was limited only by the lack of sophisticated satellite technology. Well, this is interesting. Always discern - everything. Is Temple Mount God's time bomb?: There are 12,000 Jews living in Georgia. El-Al is the only commercial airline flying in or out of Tbilisi carrying a mixture of Israelis and Georgian Jews who are being forced out of their homes. Jerry Golden: Pakistan Musharraf resigns Aug 18 "I might have made some mistakes, but the people of Pakistan will forgive me," said departing Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf. He avoided efforts to make him the first Pakistani president to be impeached. Saudi envoys are in Islamabad to broker a deal for his safe passage and sanctuary. Musharraf has been a partner in the US war on terror. Musharraf has been falsely accused and his departure is very bad news. Terrorists have full access to Pakistan nukes. Musharraf might go into exile in Saudi Arabia or Turkey. This will get ugly and FAST. Pakistan has become a powderkeg. Pakistan and India both have nuclear weapons and they HATE each other. Musharref kept peace. He is gone and experts expect nukes to fly - soon. PLEASE DO NOT believe what you are told in mainstream NEWS! PLEASE! Pervez Musharraf resigns, debka: Pakistan's Musharraf steps down: 25 Killed in Pakistan Hospital Bombing Aug 19 So it begins. How soon a nuke, by India or Pakistan? At least 25 people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on a hospital in NW Pakistan.

The violence comes one day after Pervez Musharraf resigned as president. Bomb attack on Pakistan hospital, BBC: Impending IRAN War Aug 19 Iran satellite test failed.
