SALMAN AND PRIORITIES

               Israel has a right to their land. Is that such a controversial statement for the future King? Some in the region would say yes, but the truth of the matter is, the Palestinian issue is nothing more than a tool for those who wish to continue the violence in the region. For years now, I’ve made the comment that the Palestinians are the Gypsies of the Middle East. Only those groups that wish to promote violence in the region stoke the fires of anger. Do they do this for the sake of the Palestinian people? No and most of the Palestinians realize that truth. Does Iran truly care about the future of Palestine? No. Does Egodan? No. Who understands this better than the Saudis? Nobody. If you make the future King chose between shoring up his list of Allies against Iran and the fate of the Palestinian issue, his answer is just what you heard…………..for now. He knows the issue of the Palestinian people can be addressed once the greater threats in the region are taken care of. Distraction. Trying to solve the Palestinian issue now is nothing more than a distraction. A Distraction stoked by the very power the future King is determined to defeat. In short. Priorities. That is what the future King is concentrating on. An unofficial alliance with Israel is far more rewarding than standing in for the Palestinian people. Besides, something far more important happened in the past 24hrs. Something the future King will not take lightly.

Attacking the Life Blood:  

               If there is one event in the ongoing proxy war between Saudi and Iran that will set the world on edge, it would be an attack or even an attempted attack in the Straits or near Yemen.; an attack Saudi would automatically place the blame on Tehran. The Yemen cost just off of Hudaydah is the area where just such an event took place today. A Saudi flagged tanker was damaged and if not for a nearby Naval ship, the outcome could have been much worse. What this the fist event of it’s kind since the conflict in Yemen began? Perhaps not, but the timing makes this attack more important than anything like it in the past.  I’ve not seen a response from the future King, but I can assure you one is coming. So, stack this attack on top of the increased missile attacks on Saudi over the past two weeks, and it’s not too difficult to see where Saudi’s real priorities stand. What was used against the ship? How was it attacked? Those are issues that will come out shortly, but it’s obvious the tension is rising between the two nations. Missiles landing inside Saudi Arabia is one thing, but openly targeting the life blood of the nation, that is a tactic that will not go unanswered. The situation between these two nations is growing more and more dangerous and the future King is in a full court press to rally those that will side with the Kingdom if and when the time comes. I might as well take that word, “Might” back. The time is coming, and it may be sooner than we think. Extremally advanced weapons are in the hands of both sides, weapons that don’t miss. Once an even like this takes place again, the repercussions may be more than any of us were worried about. In the end, the statement on the status of Israel and the Palestinian people is little more than background noise. One has to wonder who the Saudis will blame if Hamas continues to provoke the IDF? “Weapons Tight”. I hope the Saudi Navy understands the procedure.

THE MURDER OF SKRIPAL.  IS THE WEST MISSING THE MESSAGE?

               Yes! The Russians did it. It’s time to stop running around with your hair on fire and asked the far more important question. Why? Why would Putin make such a bold statement and why now? The world is littered with old, worn out Spies. Double Agents, Double, betraying Agents…………Agents that nobody on any side trusted. Some live out their lives and some do not. What was it that Mr. Skripal was responsible for that lead Putin to authorizing weaponized nerve agents to be used in a foreign land? Wait? Is that issue really that unusual? Does everyone forget the Cold War? Hasn’t just about every liberal media network in the world written a half-baked story about the “new Cold War”? Poison. How often did that “agent” get used in the East and West Germany? Has anyone covering this hysteria bothered to talk to any living Stasi member? Collateral damage? Is that the issue here?  Others were injured in this assassination? Just what was it that Mr. Skripal did that made the Russians break out the old KGB playbook? By the way, where did Mr. Putin come from? Was this issue really about Mr. Skripal or is there something else taking place? Why did the world react the way it has?

The New Putin:

               Time and time again,  I’ve addressed the issue of the Tsar and his Master Plan for the Russian Empire. In the past few years, I’ve stressed the concept of that Master Plan reaching Its end-state. I’ve always believed that after the 2018 election, the “New Putin” would step to the world stage. Perhaps he started taking those steps a few days early? It’s not like the election was in doubt. Yes, the action of the Russians with this case were bold, but in all likelihood, “bold” is the approach the Russians are going to take from now on. Yes, acts like this took place in the Cold War, but it was foolish for the rest of the world to believe we had collectively moved passed taking such actions. Why this one old spy? Who knows. Why now? That may be a much easier answer. The New Putin is here. The plan is in the final stage and what happens next is the most important question for all of us.

KIM. THE LITTLE FAT MAN TAKES HIS CHOO CHOO TO VISIT THE DRAGON.

Okay, before I even get started, let me just say I really intended on addressing an issue I believe is far more important than The Little Fat Man’s train ride, but I was talked into this post and as such……….here we go!

First off, the mental picture of this guy taking his private Choo Choo to China is just to irresistible to pass up….hence the cartoon at the top. Now, down to business. Can you imagine the US intelligence agencies notifying the President’s National Security Advisor the Little Fat Guy is on the move….by of all things…….. a train? Talk about an opportunity to execute a life changing event for North Korea! The problem is, his crazy Aunt is still alive and some think, she would love to take over, or so she thinks. I’m not sure how the Chinese would have reacted to such an event, but I’m also not sure The Donald and his new team would care. Invade North Korea and China would go to war. Blow up a Choo Choo with the Little Fat Guy in it and the Chinese may just enact their “replacement” plan a little early.  You can bet the idea crossed somebody’s desk.

Why:

               The Talking Heads / “Experts” are all abuzz with the question. “Why”? Why is the Choo Choo back in China? Is the pain in the ass from North Korea, my hunch how the Dragon now sees him, going for guidance on his meeting with The Donald? Does he really listen to the Chinese anymore and if so, to what level? Was he asked to come or was he ordered to appear? When he showed up, did he talk or was he told to listen? Is his declared meeting with The Donald his idea or was it his Master’s? One things for sure, the suspense is killing those who watch this show. It’s just too bad it’s not killing the North Korean Leader. Of course, he’s not home yet! Guidance this far in advance of the sit down is noteworthy, but perhaps the pre event sit down with South Korea is the topic?  Driving a wedge between the US and South Korea is valid theory. A theory the Dragon would completely support. A North Korean / South Korean “agreement” at some level, without the US’s input, would spell real trouble for the US and the US knows it. Yes, South Korea has their version of Obama right now, but the South Korean military is not about to let an idealistic dreamer destroy the South’s ability to defend itself. In the end, it’s very difficult to predict why this trip has taken place, but one thing is for sure the end state is not to create an environment that is conducive to the US. All the rumors of a Trade War between China and the US will have an impact on this meeting and you can bet on that fact. The Dragon is still developing an annex to it’s Master Plan given the arrival of a President like Trump was not anticipated. The Choo Choo is in China and the reason has some on pins and needles. On the ride back, the Little Fat Guy may want to have his body double in the train. You never know when Bolton’s influence is going to truly kick in! I wonder what “ Choo Choo” means in Mandarin?  

BOLTON STEPS BACK ONTO THE WORLD STAGE, BUT HOOKERS RULE THE DAY!

Scandal tabloid news. That’s what the US population seems to care about. A Billionaire that had low moral standards at some point in his or her life? SHOCKER! A US Politician with a murky past? Another SHOCKER!   How much should be said about Hookergate? Well, not enough to even finish this train of thought. Oh….by the way…. Ask the Kennedys or the Clintons how real American Political Juggernauts deal with women who know too much! Now, on to the real issues at hand.

               John Bolton is coming back into the limelight. Now that’s news! Hardliner? He’s the posterchild for hardliners, but then again, the new CIA Director is no pushover. Out with the Oil Tycoon who knew the Russians better than just about anyone else in DC. In with the guy who has no problem telling the world, “you may not like the US…..you may even hate the US, but you damn well better fear the US”! Is that a tactic that will work in 2018? Is it too late for the US to shake its fist at it’s enemies? Will Bolton’s style help the US’s standing or push it closer to confrontation? Bolton fits The Donald’s style; speak loudly and wave a HUGE stick! Will that style work in in conjunction with the new Secretary of State, a DoS still flush with Progressive Liberals? Reminder, the US Department of State’s job is not to execute conflicts, but to avoid them and in the worst case, warn that one may be coming. In the mode of crafting warnings for the President to task the US DoS to hand out, no one is better suited for that job than John Bolton. Right now, given the status of events in many parts of the world, painting a picture of what may take place is exactly what the US DoS should be doing. So, out with the guy who knows how to smoke 100-dollar cigars and sip 300-dollar Bourbon. Out with a guy who knows warfare and the horrors of such as the President’s National Security Advisor and in with the guys who show you their bouncers waiting just outside the door. A deliberate move? You bet!  Is it the right move? I’m guessing an event coming up in less than two months will show us the future.

Iranian Nuclear Deal:

               If The Donald wanted to tip his hand on the Iranian nuclear agreement, his level of clarity was absolute when he tweeted about John Bolton. Oh, how I would have loved to have been a genetically altered fly, the ones that have receivers on them I bet, inside the Oldman’s office in Tehran. “ John Bolton is the new US National Security Advisor”! For the Iranian government, if anything would have sent them to pray, that would have been it. Mad Dog at one end of the sword….John Bolton at the other! I wonder if the phone call to Moscow, placed by Soleimani, not the Old Man, took more than an hour? I wonder if the call was placed by Moscow? “Hello….Soleimani my friend?  You need to pack”! Here is one thing General Soleimani understands. John Bolton, like Mad Dog, is not the kind of guy who you give elaborate threats to. Boasting about what you may do to the US because Bolton could lead the way in the US withdrawing from the pathetic nuclear deal is not going to keep you out of you bomb shelter. Moscow not going to enter a conflict with the US over the issue of Iran and John Bolton understands that. Yes Soleimani, there’s a new Sherriff in town for the US DoS and his name is one you know. A message not well received in Tehran and one they have to contemplate very…..very….. carefully. By the way, if I could be that little spy fly again, I would have loved to seen Lavrov when someone told him as well. Better yet, being in the room when the two of them meet. I bet you they have already been on the phone! Lets just hope both were sober. Just when you thought things were interesting enough. John Bolton! By the way, there was a party in the IDF HQ.

PUTIN’S PLAN MOVES FORWARD

So the Tsar was won yet another election? Shocker, right? Well, what seems to have “shocked” some is the fact most of the West didn’t seem to pay attention to the results. Now, everyone knows the results were a forgone conclusion, but the amount of time spent on the topic, other than the BBC and England, who has a bit of an “issue” going on with Putin, was truly minimal. So, is that it? The Tsar is in for at least another six years? Time to move on to the next topic? What shinny object will the news media turn towards now? Should we all just travel on or watch the Soap Opera called Washington DC? Not so fast my friends.

Less We Forget:

               The Master Plan! We cannot forget the Master Plan. As I’ve been saying for over ten years now, the Tsar has a vision of where Russia will be by the time his rule has come to an end. If he truly is on his Swan Song for leadership of the Fatherland, then you can bet the actions that need to take place will execute in the next six years, most likely sooner. This is not going to be a “Lame Duck” Tsar. This is not the beginning of calm waters. I would be willing to bet, the real hard work, the difficult events are also the culminating ones. A week before the election, I told one of my neighbors, “we will see the ‘real’ Putin after this election”. I said it and I believe it to be true.

               The US is nearing a crisis of government, perhaps a constitutional crisis and it’s a self-inflicted wound brought on by a political system that has succumbed to the lust for power. Without Term Limits the US is heading for a crisis that could tear the nation apart and no one understands this better than Mr. Putin. Remember, what was the most traumatic event in Putin’s life? The dramatic collapse of the Soviet Empire. Not only did he become a victim of this event, but he learned just how destructive they can be. He learned you don’t need a nuclear war to defeat a militarily superior enemy. You just need to sow the seeds of decay. You need to collapse the trust of the people; make them turn on each other. The Arab Spring was the latest example of this internal, social cancer and lessons were learned, but not in the US. The Tsar worked for the organization that was the master of this game. The KGB. The skills he was taught and the experience he lived with the fall of the Soviet Empire, have given him the tools needed to deal with his enemies without a battlefield. The Real Putin is coming. The Master Plan will soon become clearer to all who are paying attention. The Russian Bear is in the final phases of restoring the Russian Empire. There is only one problem. As the Bear fixates on the Eagle, the Dragon prepares to swoop in for the kill. Russian folklore has no stories of Dragons………………………not yet!!!!!!

KIM AND TRUMP TO MEET? JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A INTERESTING MONTH.

               The new Emperor comes to power in China. The Tsar announces his “Super Weapons”. The future King of Saudi pays a visit to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Little Fat Guy, who is rumored to be very….very… let us say…..unhealthy, shocks the world with a request to sit with the Donald! To the agencies who are asked, “what does it mean” and “ what should we do”, the overtime must be making the analyst happy! I must admit, the standing question of, “what does it mean”, is an important one? The bigger question is, who is asking the question?

From the Eyes of the Dragon:

               Never…..ever forget what I’ve been saying for several years now. The ultimate goal for China is the inability for the US to control the events in the Pacific. Forget the South China Seas. The dreams of the Dragon are much larger now. The US, military footprint in South Korea has been a major obstacle to the Master Plan of China for decades. For a long period of time, the purpose of North Korea was to threaten the US with a continuation of the Korean War. A war that few in the US wanted to relive. North Korea bought time for China to grow. It was the rabid dog on a chain only the Chinese held. The time was going to come, if things worked out the way China planned, when a rabid dog on a short chain was no longer needed. That time is very…..very….close if not already here. Perhaps if that time is now here, the message to the Little Fat Guy was clear. “ start talking or your replacement will”! A South Korea that has begun the process of working with North Korea is the prelude to asking the US military to leave, or greatly reduce its capabilities. In the end, there was two ways to bet the US to pull out of South Korea, war or peace. This call for a meeting is what? A prelude to peace or a prelude to war? I bet the Dragon knows.

From the Eyes of the Tsar:

               North Korea may be China’s rabid dog, but the Tsar never misses an opportunity to take advantage of events created by others. Was there a top-secret meeting between the new Emperor and the Tsar of this shocking announcement? I bet not. Do the Russians realize the desires of China in the Pacific? Absolutely. Are those desires the same as Moscow’s? No! Once again, when it’s all said and done……………at the end of the day…………….who does Moscow truly fear? If the Little Fat Guy is to visit with The Donald, then what does that mean to the Tsar? Is there a way to leverage this event? How can a positive for Russia be achieved? Casting the US military in a bad light is always a desired goal. The process, or at least the appearance of such, of the two Koreas lowering their guard coupled with a US military that is unwilling to leave, would be to Moscow’s advantage. Casting the US as the “Problem” that’s an even greater prize from this pending meeting. Can the Tsar influence that takes place at this meeting? Remember, it’s the Dragon’s show and how much does Moscow truly trust the Dragon?

From the Eyes of The Donald:

               To the guy in the White House who is rumored to not always attend the morning National Security Briefings and trust me, they are not always worthy of attendance, the news of this proposed meeting was not “news”. The idea that the North may wish a sit-down had been brewing for the past several months and The Donald has known it. As a businessman, he knows all too well the art of playing it cool when he has competitor, and that is how he looks at his enemies, on the ropes! The pressure on China to real in the Little Fat Guy has been known from day one of the Trump Presidency. The rabid dog’s owner has been told, get a handle on your pet or I will kill it! Now, if the Chinese believed this threat or not is not the point. The point is, they never take their eye of the ball and in this case the ball is the Pacific. In the middle of all the talk of a pending trade war, the idea of the two Koreas beginning the process of reunification could easily such the wind out of the media’s sails. The new shiny object the press would focus on would no longer be tariffs. Did I say the word “reunification”? Is that truly what the US desires? A unified Korea? A unified Korea that would see China as the most important partner in the rebuilding of “Koreas” economic status in the world? Just how much money would China spend on making this reunification dream come true? Just how much would they be willing to pay to see the South and North Korean youth marching in the streets, demanding the US military go home? So, what is the actual discussion inside the White House? Just what is the US looking for in these pending talks? The denuclearization of North Korea? Is that truly that hard to achieve? Ask South Africa or the Ukraine. “I want you to get rid of your nuclear weapons program”! “ OK”! then what? What is the real goal of the Dragon? China may be about to show the US an age-old adage. Be careful what you ask for!

THE TSAR ROARS…. THE EMPEROR STANDS AND THE US LISTENS TO PROSTITUTES.

               Sometimes, things happen so fast and in such rapid sequence, that’s its hard to pick an event to really focus on. As I watched the story of the Emperor Xi unfold I had to admit even I was shocked how little coverage this was given in the US / Western/ media. The most dangerous nation in the world announces its new Emperor and the Trumpophobic media all but ignores the ramifications. What does it mean to the rest of the world? How will this dramatic move in China impact the US? Who cares……… A hooker is the latest weapon in the War on Trump and the media is foaming at the mouth to get the story out. Why not announce the crowing of the new Emperor? The US only has its eyes on destroying itself and what a fine job it’s doing.

               Emperor Xi? Was that the plan the whole time? The New Silk Road needs a new Emperor? Why not? Who’s going to stop any of it from taking place? Xi has a Master Plan for China and it’s obvious he cannot afford the risk of letting someone else finish the job. Sound familiar? Maybe he and the Tsar read the same book?  Can you imagine the close door comments in the region? Imagine the reaction of the Japanese, Indonesia and even the crazy idiot in the Philippines. What freedom was left in China just diapered…………………….for now.

The Tsar Roars:

               Just about the time I thought I had an understanding of Xi’s move, BOOM…….. the Tsar one-ups the new Emperor. “I have weapons like no other country in the world”! Really? That’s the message at the Tsar’s annul speech to his people? Yes, he talked about other things, but nobody and I mean nobody outside of Russia heard anything other than “Our new weapons”.  So, is it true? Do the Russians have the edge now? Is this the next phase of a new arms race? Sadly, several large corporations in the West / US / are going to push that story on Capital Hill in DC and quickly as possible….. if they haven’t already done so.

               As I looked at the Tsar’s speech, I had to ask myself? Who was this “message” for? In the US, the absolute answer would be, “us”, but the Tsar is no fool. Was the message crafted as a response to Western attitudes towards Russia? Yes, but the West did have exclusive rights to the message. When Putin closes his eyes at night, does he truly fear the West or does he see visions of Dragons? His Master Plan is that of the Russian Empire and I do mean “Empire”! It’s greatest foe for the past sixty years seems to be sick and rotting from within. It’s time may be coming to a close. Is that old nemesis truly the threat to the future of Mother Russia? Or…………….is the Dragon’s gaze upon the riches of Siberia far more frightening than West realizes?  What really keeps the Tsar up at night? What vision come in his nightmares? The new Emperor continues to build his new road to world domination, lined with silk. The Tsar threatens an aging enemy. But…………… who was his “message” truly for?  We now have a Tsar, An Emperor and a Sultan. What’s next? Genghis Khan? One thing is a given. The words of a Hooker has the Western media star struck as the shadow of the Dragon glides over the Western skies. Who do you really fear Mr. Putin?
