The Next 10 Days Are Critical

 

 

We are approaching the latter half of December and these final days of 2011 are shaping up to be critical to the advancement of the New World Order not only in the Middle East, but also in Europe.

The window of opportunity for military action against Iran appears to have shrunk to a precious few days. This is thanks in large measure to a combination of unfolding, and unforeseen events in the past few weeks.

The Iranian take-down of a U.S. spy drone has reportedly had a dramatic impact on decision-makers in Washington. Latest reports surfacing around Washington and also out of Iran indicate the Iranians and associated foreign assistance "hacked" into the U.S. spy drone system and satellite communications to lure the aircraft into Iranian airspace and a landing. Some Pentagon sources are adamnant that the plane itself lost control and crashed. They say the Iranians recovered parts of the craft and pieced it back together. Yet, other souces state that someone did seize control. To further underscore this ability, a similar incident occured a few days later in the Seychelles region, again apparently hacked down.

As a result of the drone incident, Pentagon strategists are highly concerned that major secrets have been compromised and thus major technicalogical advantages previously enjoyed by the U.S. are now diminished. What's more, Iran has managed to "trade" access to the drone for inspection and evaluation by Russian experts and in return, Russia is supplying S-300 anti-air systems for Iran. This will make it exceedingly difficult for the U.S. to launch air strikes against Iran without suffering extensive casualties and loss of numerous (expensive) aircraft at a time when the USA is broke and can't afford replacements.

As a result of this shift in the balance of power, the Obama White House has come to accept the idea of a nuclear-armed Iran, although this is a privated acceptance. Publicly the Obama Administration still chants the mantra of using the military option against Iran if needed. Yet, various insider sources report that for all practical purposes, the military option is "off" the table, but no one has bothered to inform Israel.

Obama and his strategists have decided that the likelihood of successful military operations against Iran's nuclear weapons program has shrunk to minimal levels yet the risks of backlash are now greater including the implosion of the world's economy.

Instead, the Obama team has an alternative idea - take down the Iranian regime internally, just like all of the Arab Spring revolts. Behind the scenes, the stage is being set for major chaos and internal turmoil inside Iran in 2012, before the March Parliamentary elections. President Obama will opt for such an alternative to military action. The key to success will be based upon what happens in Syria.

Syria is reportedly the "dry-run" for regime change in Tehran. As we understand it, the next 10 days are critical to the covert regime-change operations in Syria. These operations will utilize a non-military strategy. It will be a combination of civilian and economic measures wielded by the Syrians themselves, with massive street demonstrations in key financial centers that previously have been quiet.

At the same time, key officers in the Syrian military will be approached for linkage to an overthrow of Assad, although the actual overthrow is not likely until January. Between now and then, Assad must not be allowed to launch any surprise military actions, such as missile strikes on Israel, however if so, the White House expects Netanyahu and Israelis to grit their teethc and accept some short term pain. Yet, there are distinct indications from the Netanyahu government and Israel's Defense Minister indicating Israel no longer trusts Obama or his plans.

There are rumors swirling around Israel that the IDF will be ordered to launch strikes on Iran around December 24, (Christmas Eve) which just happens to be not only the start of a "new moon" but also a solar eclipse - which has 'occult significance for the NWO crowd. Other rumors are that Israel is not quite ready to attack until the following new moon cycle in January.

On the flip-side, Syria's President Assad has only a few days left before the noose tightens to the point that any crazy orders he might render will not be carried out.

We would put the likelihood of a military strike by Israel against Iran on December 24 and around a one in three possibility, or perhaps even higher at 40 or even 50%. It really all depends on how Israel's Prime Minister views the circumstances. From what we've learned, however, the odds of an successful Israeli attack would be much improved if there is a wait until January, but waiting longer diminishes chances for any kind of military attack, short of a nuclear strike.

 

The EU Debt Crisis

The European Union's debt crisis is now facing a critical 10 day period hoping to rally its financial circumstances and avoid the collapse of the Euro currency. The next 10 days will be critical as to the future of the Euro and the EU, both short and long term.

For these reasons, A-O readers should be aware that we are in a critical moment of time. Failure to act now or within the next 30 days will likely result in Iran becoming a nuclear power.

The A-O Report Publishing Schedule Modifies for the Holidays.

ALSO during this time - The A-O Report will be preparing our End of Year coverage with a year in review and a forward looking look at the trends for the year ahead. To accomplish this, we do not have final weekly news articles or an Intelligence Digest - HOWEVER - due to the criticality of this situation, the A-O Report is ready to shift to Red Alert and post news coverage as needed round the clock on latest developments should war breakout in the region.

We Desperately Need Donations To Continue Into January

Of course - in keeping you informed of critical developments, this assumes our A-O expenses are paid up. In the first week of December we had enough in donations to cover the first half of the month's expenses and then some - BUT we've had only a couple of donations in the past 10 days, but we need another $300 or so to cover December bills now due in the next few days. Failure to pay could result in our being cut off by the end of December.

Also urgent bills will come due on January 1, 4th and 5th - so we really do need about $550 between now and January 5 to keep us current. Usually, at this time of year, donations fall off so it is important that we get enough in donations to keep us operational at this critical time as we try to keep you informed on what is taking place.

If anyone is able to help out with a donation this month - please visit our donations page for linkage to Paypal for online donations and or instructions for sending a personal check by way of the Post Office. Here is the Donations Page LINK
