Iran's Intercepted Weapons Shipment Unloaded in Israel

World Bank Insider: “There Is A Huge Global Conspiracy”

Former Senior Counselor at the World Bank Karen Hudes has spent the last several years of her life working closely with whistle blowers from around the world to shed light on what she calls a “global conspiracy.”

While working for the World Bank as a member of their legal team Hudes uncovered so much corruption that she could no longer keep quiet. She followed the proper channels to report her findings, going first to the organization’s Evaluation Department and country directors, and then to the U.S. Treasury Department and even the United States Congress. All of her requests were ignored, and in some cases, completely covered up. So she did what any honest person would do. She went public. Suffice it to say, she received the typical treatment you’d expect for a whistle blower.

Hudes is no longer with the World Bank, but that didn’t stop her from continuing her investigation by joining an organization of other whistle blowers.

What she found once she started connecting the dots will blow you away. The corruption, as most of us know, isn’t just at the World Bank, but is woven throughout the fabric of the entirety of the global financial and political systems.

Her interview with Future Money Trends will absolutely blow you away.

We have solved the mystery as to why humanity has had nothing but wars and terrible problems… why we’re always at each other’s throats.

…

This group is part of a huge conspiracy…

We suggest you buckle up for this one:

Covering everything from the current economic crisis all the way back to the reasons behind the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Hudes will leave you with a totally different view of how the upper echelons of the global power structure work and how far the elite will go to maintain total control.

Interweaving through topics that include financial collapse, high level banking machinations, Snowden, false flags, JFK, Lincoln, and even the Vatican, Karen Hudes is no holds barred.

I have gone to something called the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions and I have been collaborating with all the whistle blowers of the world… and we’re bound and determined that we’re going to get this corruption taken care of.

A very accurate… it’s called the power transition model… it uses political science and computer modelings… that model is 90% to 95% accurate… and it is predicting that the corruption that has been plaguing the world, it turns out for millennia, is coming down… a lot of people call that the Matrix, a lot of people call that the banksters… it’s actually much, much more.

Here are just some of the topics covered – listen to the entire interview for a better understanding of how it all fits together:

The fact that he [NSA Whistle Blower Edward Snowden] is getting coverage on the mainstream media should be letting people know that he is part of the Matrix, because the mainstream media is owned and controlled by the same group that are the owners of the Bank for International Settlement… that is a scam.

People are supposed to have currency that’s issued by their governments directly which doesn’t carry interest. That is what John F. Kennedy was trying to do and the reason why he was assassinated. That’s what Lincolnwas doing with the Greenbacks… that’s why Lincoln was assassinated…

The banks that are Too-Big-To-Fail… that’s really one banking cartel… and that group is going around buying up politicians… there are secret societies like the Knights of Malta and they’re promoting people and making sure that those people become the gatekeepers.

Many people do not know, for example, that in Charleston, South Carolina there was supposed to be a nuclear device detonated… instead two heroes made sure that the nuclear device went off off the coast… The Russians told people about that because they intercepted the Naval communications

If that [a loss of confidence in the US dollar] is allowed to happen we will enter something very similar to the dark ages. We won’t be able to pay for international trade… We will have pestilence… We will have mass starvation.

What we have found out, and this sounds implausible, but it is absolutely correct… the fact that is has been held in secret doesn’t mean that it’s not true… it is true… there’s a second species on this planet… they’re not extraterrestrials… remnants of their civilizations are all over the place… this group has large brains… they’re very distinct from homo sapiens… We know this because their DNA was just tested… they have skulls all over the place, because they have been on earth with us.

Just because this group likes to hide and likes to accuse people of having conspiracy theories doesn’t make these facts wrong. They’re facts.

Many of us have long suspected there are cartels that include leading financiers, politicians, business conglomerates, and secret societies working together to achieve their goals of maintaining power, control and stability over the citizens of every country in the world. They will do so by whatever means necessary.

The investigations conducted by Karen Hudes and her colleagues have shed a lot more light on the conspiracy. It turns out that it’s not just theory. It’s fact.

The Grand Chess Board of World War III

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

William Shakespeare

Many times in the midst of a global crisis, it is easy to lose sight of what is important, take our eyes off of the ball and ignore what is truly important. In an ongoing effort to make sense out of the world we live in, there is one undeniable truth, the Rothschild/Rockefeller banking empire is the prime motivating force behind the systematic destruction of the old world and the roll out of the New World Order. Subsequently, it is important to establish what complete control the banksters have in moving the world towards total subjugation.

The primary weapon of mass manipulation is the planet’s central banking system which is headquartered in Basel. If a nation and its leaders do not follow the script, they tend to have a very short life span. Let’s take the assassination of the Polish government and military as a case in point.

It is difficult to discuss centralized banking and at the same time forget the very suspicious deaths of the entire Polish government, high ranking military establishment and members of its own national banking cartel after they refused to let their nation become the latest victim of this banking cartel’s loan sharking operation in which the IMF attempted to make Poland a debt slave. Poland was the only nation in 2009 to experience economic growth in the EU which totaled  2.75% in that year and 3.25% in 2011 at a time when the other 26 nations of the EU economy contracted by as much as  4.1%. The Polish government refused to capitulate to the IMF and enter the world of austerity, pension theft and the looting of bank accounts.

The plane crash which led to the death of the entire Polish government and banking leaders was staged and then a Russian/Polish hit team descended on the scene to kill the survivors before the first responders could arrive. Do you want to see what a bankster regime change looks and sounds like. Take a look at this video which keeps being taken down and then reappearing. I would suggest saving this video on your desktop.

The murderers seen on this tape are two Poles and two Russians. This is not about the nationality of the murderers, this is about the black-ops of both nations (the Polish secret police controlled by Basel and rogue elements of the FSB which were operating under the direction of the Mossad). The thinking of my sources is that this was ultimately a Mossad hit and the CIA provided the necessary tools to bring the plane down at the precise location where these “special forces” sprang into action and killed off all of the survivors. When this video made the light of day, it did not take long for retribution to occur. I have been told that the videographer was stabbed to death in Moscow while walking down the street. This is what criminal bankster, mafia inspired regime change looks like. Bankster inspired regime change does not begin and end with Poland.

Lincoln, JFK and McKinley are all US Presidents who have been murdered to fulfill bankster goals. Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez and Gaddafi were all murdered when they defied the central banking cartel. However, assassinating leaders to bring about policy change is one thing, simultaneously controlling the world is quite another. A strong move to control the entire world is underway and it will culminate in World War III and then the world will see a New World Order created out of the existing chaos (i.e. out of chaos comes order).

The Undeniable Facts

The US was made the world policeman following World War II. At the Breton Woods 1944 summit, the central bankers decided to also make the dollar the world’s reserve currency and thus the Petrodollar was born. The Petrodollar provides that all nations must first purchase Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. the dollar) prior to purchasing oil. This allows the bankers to continue to plunder the US treasury, under the auspices of the IRS, yet maintain some degree of dollar solvency by providing some measure of “backing up” the dollar in the world’s oil business.

There is no question that the Bank of International Settlement is managing a world crisis which permitted the rise of Russia and China on the world’s economic scene. The banksters have permitted Putin to acquire huge sums of mineral resources (e.g. natural gas and petroleum) and the Russian economy has been revived. The Chinese economy is riding the wave of industrialization. Predictably, both China and Russia as well as the other BRIC nations have grown weary of the rigged economic game being perpetrated by the Petrodollar and a predictable and planned bankster inspired conflict is arising.

The BRICS Strike Back

The BRIC nations have begun to strike back at the once complete dominance of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. What product could totally undermine what would be a totally fiat currency if it were not for the Petrodollar? It would be, of course, gold!

Any gold based economy, or even partial gold based economy backed currency will hold its value much more solidly than the oil backed dollar as gold is the most sound medium of exchange on the planet.

In order to challenge American dominance in the world in an economic system which guarantees last place for the rest of the world, it was predictable that the rising economies of the BRICS would seek to challenge the economic dominance of the US Petrodollar in order to close the economic gap which lies between the BRICS and the United States. For example, China can own the debt of the US, but so long as the Petrodollar is in play as the dominant medium of economic exchange, the BRIC will always compete for second place. Meanwhile, the US military and its NATO allies, the instrument of ultimate global oppression used against leaders who deviate from the script written in Basel, will continue to dominate until all parties are brought to the battlefield by a cleverly arranged plot being fermented by the likes of the IMF, the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlement.

In the world of central banking there are three groups.

1. The Bank of International Settlement and its World Bank and IMF subsidiaries.

2. The central banks of the world such as the Federal Reserve form the second tier of power in the world.

3. Then there are the half dozen, or so, countries who are resisting central banking debt enslavement as a means of control coming out of Basel. Poland, Libya and Iraq are recent examples of nations who have been dealt with and their central banking resistant leaders have been exterminated. Venezuela is in the process of being dealt with after the demise of Chavez. Brazil, Russia, India and China, along with their puppet North Korean government are going to be dealt with in the upcoming World War III.

What Does This Mean for America?

The existence of the Federal Reserve Note and ultimately the Federal Reserve itself, is being challenged by the fact that the useful idiot nations of Iran and Syria are serving as a powder keg for a global war of ultimate unification. The BRIC nations have pinned their hope on circumventing the Petrodollar through purchasing Iran’s oil in gold in a move which ties together all the elements of this conspiracy.

Subsequently, the Federal Reserve Board have been put in the untenable position to be fighting for survival over the Iranian situation. Iran is the focal point of who and what is going to dominate the world’s economic scene. Will it be gold or the Petrodollar? The bastards from Basel are literally laughing all the way to the bank. Not only have they been funding the rise of the forces in this future conflict, these banksters know that the coming war between the gold backed BRIC nations and the Petrodollar will result in a conflict in which neither the dollar, nor gold will be the world’s future medium of exchange. Out of this chaos, will come the order of a new currency created in Basel.

The ultimate script here in America has to do with getting the American people to accept a slide into World War III. For that to happen, there has to be a monumental depression. I am still calling for an economic collapse which will most likely be triggered by a Stock Market collapse. Then the following scenario will come into play, a scenario which I have been touting for 18 months.

1. False flag event(s) to create absolute chaos and havoc.

2. The roll-out of martial law in order to martial all resources needed to help the Federal Reserve and subsequently squash all domestic resistance to the coming conflict.

3. World War III will proceed without American domestic opposition and simultaneously consist of confiscating all American guns and destroying the Constitution. 

It is in this time, that the events surrounding the Petrodollar and the crisis in Ukraine will begin to make perfect sense to all who are paying attention.

Those of you who think that abolishing the Federal Reserve is the key to eliminating the oppression of the American people, are sadly mistaken. If you really want to understand what we, as Americans, are up against, you must set your sights much higher up on the food chain.

Part two of this series will identify the key chess pieces and their role in the perpetrating of the final act being played out on the world stage in which Obama, Putin, Assad et al., are merely actors in a play contained in a script which was written a long time ago… written by the ultimate masters of manipulation. The countdown to Armageddon has begun.

Part two will be published early tomorrow morning.

Temple Mount Connected To Coming Blood Moon Tetrads

Authors claim tension over Temple Mount, coming tetrads on Jewish Feast days connected to end-times prophecy

 

Concerning the new book Cauldron: Supernatural Implications of the Current Middle East, let me say from the outset that it’s been a long time since I felt so strongly that people purchase, read, re-read, study and then share a particular book, and to do so with a sense of urgency. This is because, with recent developments throughout the Middle East and especially those surrounding Israel, I have increasingly felt as a publisher that somebody (with qualifications to do so) needed to put into clear perspective for the rest of us the ramifications of what is currently unfolding in light of Bible prophecy. As I have spoken with the world’s most respected prophecy scholars over the past 12 months, I have learned that, to a person, there is a heightened sense of belief that global events not only seem torn from the pages of apocalyptic literature but truly are those foreseen by Scripture (the signs of the end times) and that they are now coming together with such precision and speed that it has several well-known Christian leaders beside themselves.

“Something is in the wind,” they say, pointing to such developments as the recent call by Jewish leaders (even in the Knesset, the legislative branch of the Israeli government) to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem; a simultaneous effort by the United States to push Israel into a peace agreement this year; political and religious leaders advocating for a single global, financial, and political authority; and even what now appears to be intentional movement by global powers that could initiate the battle of Armageddon. Please understand that within the degrading relationship and saber rattling between the United States, Russia, the European Union, and China exist the very components necessary for the final global conflict, called in Ezekiel 38 “the battle of Gog and Magog.” Ezekiel foresaw this supernatural contest occurring in the latter times after Israel would be “gathered out of many people and nations” and recognized as a nation once again. During that generation in which Israel is so reunified—which was accomplished in 1948—the Battle of Gog and Magog occurs. But if a biblical generation is approximately seventy years (see Psalms 90:10, Daniel 9) and if seven years is also needed for a coming “Peace” plan (called a “covenant” in the book of Daniel) to be enforced upon Israel, counting forward from 1948 seems to indicate these decisive events leading to the Great Tribulation and “battle of Armageddon” have already started their countdown. Ezekiel even tells us who the instigators of the battle will be—Iran (Persia), which becomes the number-one confederate with Russia (Gog) in this invasion of Israel:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog [the Russian Federation]…and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will…bring thee forth, and all thine army…. Persia [ancient kingdom of Iran], Ethiopia, and Libya with them.” (Ezekiel 38:1–5)

This is but one example of what has prophecy scholars so alert now; that not only some BUT ALL these prophecies that were proclaimed so far in advance appear to be abruptly cascading around the world. Something frightening yet marvelous is unfolding, these experts believe, and yet there is another set of related events even more fascinating to tell you about involving “signs” in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars. This week for a limited time (starting Tuesday, March 11 while they last) we will be giving away FREE the incredible Pikes Peak Live BLOOD MOONS DVD Presentation by Mark Biltz, the original discoverer of the coming tetrads, which are set to begin falling on Jewish feast days next month in unprecedented ways (discussed below). We will also be giving away FREE David Flynn’s incomparable book Temple at the Center of Time specifically because it too foresaw this very moment—the time between 2012-2018—as when the Temple Mount in Israel and the Middle East in general would suddenly come alive with prophetic activity. Why did Flynn believe this and how did he come to conclude the Temple Mount would literally be sitting at “the center of time”?

First, let me discuss the Blood Moons and their potential importance. These “signs” cannot be manufactured by men and were clearly stated as important by the apostles and prophets. For example:

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity… And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:25-28).

Then in the book of Revelation it says:

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Rev. 6:12).

And in Joel we read:

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come (Joel 2:31).

While many assume when God created the Sun and the Moon that He did so for light, heat, gravity, and other natural mechanisms, when looking at Genesis 1:14, we learn of four other purposes behind why the lights in the heavens were created and placed where they are. The Bible says these are for “signs,” “seasons,” “days,” and “years.”

The Hebrew word for signs in this context isowth, a word meaning a “miraculous sign,” “omen,” or “warning.” It signifies, among other things, that God created the heavenly bodies to communicate important matters at particular times to His covenant people.

The next reason God created the sun and the moon is for “seasons.” Again, in our Western mindset, we figure God is talking about winter, spring, summer, and fall. This is the farthest from the truth. In Hebrew, the word here is mow’ed and is accurately translated as “an appointed time” or “divine appointment” especially related to “sacred seasons” or Feast days. This same Hebrew word is translated into English in Leviticus 23 as “feast” where it talks about the Feasts of the Lord. At first, these two words—appointments and feasts—seem about as far apart as you can get. This is why one needs to keep the Hebrew language in perspective so as not to miss the deeper conveyances of this text. The word mow’ed implies that God has a day timer or calendar on which He keeps predetermined “appointments” with human history and that are connected with His Feasts or Holy Days. For example, in the Book of Revelation it says that the Messiah was slain “from the foundations of the world.” This means God the Father knew the year, the month, the day, and the exact time His Son would die and how this event would be played out in fulfillment of the Levitical feasts of Israel.

Finally, God declares that the sun and the moon were created to determine “days and years.” Obviously, this has nothing to do with our modern calendar, which was created by a pagan Roman ruler and is based on the sun. The Muslim calendar is based on the moon. But the biblical calendar—the one that God uses according to Genesis—is based on the sun and the moon. So when the Scripture refers to “days and years” in Genesis 1:14, it is pointing to biblical days and years or “holy days” as well as Shemittah years and Jubilee years (every seventh year the land in Israel was to rest. This is why the Jewish people went into captivity because they did not observe the seventh year. Every fiftieth year was to be a year of Jubilee when captives were set free and received their land back). When this is understood, a whole new discovery is made concerning how God created the sun and the moon and the stars as harbingers or “signal-senders” of His appointed times. This is confirmed throughout the Bible in places like the books of Joel, Isaiah, Revelation, as well as Jesus, Himself, in the Gospels confirming there would be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars that would herald the last days.

While solar and lunar eclipses are common occurrences and for the most part have no great prophetic significance, when they fall on the biblical Feast days, we should pay close attention. In Revelation 6:12, the Bible declares that the sun will become black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon as red as blood. Most scholars believe this important end-times sign is speaking of solar and lunar eclipses. The significance of a total solar eclipse or total lunar eclipse, if it happened on one of God’s Feast days would be a powerful message. Knowing this, be advised there are four total blood moons coming, back to back, right in a row, all falling on Feast days. Equally incredible is how within the very same timeframe, two solar eclipses are scheduled to arrive. Read that again and let the significance of these comments sink in. Prophetically speaking, we are talking about the equivalent of six grand-slam homeruns in a row—a mathematical improbability that stands out against the randomness of natural cycles and strongly suggests a miraculous sign or “omen” of intelligent design is coming. Of significance to the new book Cauldron and the free DVD and book by Mark Biltz and David Flynn we are giving away starting this week (while supplies last) is how these “grand slam” blood moon tetrads are set to unfold between the years 2012–2016, specifically 2014 and 2015.

When examining NASA’s website, we find these specific types or strings of total eclipses are called a “tetrad” and are very rare. According to their own calculations, a similar string of four total lunar eclipses did not happen at all in the 1800s, 1700s, or even the 1600s. Amazingly, in the 1500s it happened around seven times but not once did all four eclipses fall on the Jewish Feast days. When was the last time four blood moons not only occurred back to back but fell on the Feasts? The shocking dates were 1967 and 1968 when Israel recaptured Jerusalem! What about the time before that? Right on the heels of Israel becoming a nation in May of 1948. The following two years in 1949 and 1950 again saw four blood moons on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles and then again on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles! In other words, not only were there four blood moons in a row, but all four of them fell on the Feast days that were accompanied by historically prophetic implications of divine proportions.

What does all this have to do with the future and the timespan 2012–2018? From the Books of Revelation and Joel (2:31), we understand that the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord. In Exodus (chapter 12), God told Moses that Passover (roughly March-April in the Gregorian calendar—the very time frame I am writing this letter) would be the point at which the religious year would begin. It just so happens that after the two blood moons on Passover and Tabernacles in 2014, this Jewish New Year in 2015 will be met with a total solar eclipse. Two weeks later on Passover we have the next total lunar eclipse. Then on the Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh HaShana, there is a partial solar eclipse followed two weeks later by the next total lunar eclipse on the Feast of Tabernacles. There will not be another such tetrad of four blood moons landing on biblical holidays this century. Keep your eyes on global events as these blood moons may well mark God’s prophetic calendar with apocalyptic scenarios falling like dominoes across the world scene in anticipation of the second coming of Jesus Christ.

DAVID FLYNN’S MAGNUM OPUS ALSO FREE!?

 

I still remember the first time I met David Flynn. It was the early days of the Internet and I had just started a little email newsletter that would eventually become the Raiders News Network. He introduced himself to me via email and to his Watchers Website, which I would pour over for many hours in the years ahead. I watched as his breakthrough material started popping up on shows like the PAX Television programEncounters: What is Really on Mars, on Coast-to-Coast AM, on Strange Universe, as well as in books, including the best-selling 1996 Genesis-6-themed book Encounters by popular Christian researchers Dr. Chuck Missler and Dr. Mark Eastman.

As David and I became friends and colleagues throughout the late 90s and 2000s, I observed the steady evolution of his work, realizing that here was a man who often viewed the world in a way the rest of us could barely discern. On more than one occasion I was amazed by his ability to peel back the onion layers in order to discover what lay hidden deep inside a mystery. I mentioned to my wife and staff on more than one occasion how much he reminded me of the character George Malley in the 1996 movie Phenomenon, which depicted a good-natured man whose life is suddenly changed when he sees a strange flash of light just before his thirty-seventh birthday. Almost immediately he becomes aware of “phenomena,” which everyday people do not see or comprehend. “He predicts an earthquake over the course of the following days, and starts to experience an extraordinary form of genius-level intelligence, easily absorbing vast amounts of information, formulating new, revolutionary ideas,” Wikipedia notes of George Malley. Like this movie character, the world around David Flynn could not help be intrigued with his insights into Bible prophecy, sacred geometry, symbolism, numerology, and gematria, which seem to spring forth for our generation with brilliant perceptiveness, building for David a worldwide following of people who appreciated him so much. Sadly for us all (and ironically, also like the movie character), David was stricken with an aggressive brain tumor that took his life January 22nd, 2012.

I still recall the day David emailed me and said, “Tom, I think I may have found something important.” As he described what would later become the basis of his bestseller Temple at the Center of Time, I realized that not since his unprecedented articles on Mt. Hermon and Roswell had David broke through to such fresh ground. He needed to carefully guard what he discovered, I thought. You see, I had witnessed too many times when David’s work was used by other so-called experts (sometimes word-for-word) who neglected to give him credit. David never made a fuss about such things, but it bothered me deeply, and I told him so. In fact, the day he emailed me about his Temple discovery, I called and spoke with him on the phone. I listened as he described his findings and how he was considering sharing the discovery with a celebrity speaker who had stolen his material before. I suggested instead that he put the information down in a book and, at least once, take credit for his labor. I don’t think David worried much about “getting credit,” modest as he was, but he agreed to let me publish the unique treatise (which discloses, among other things, knowledge of time and space that obsessed Sir Isaac Newton) that ultimately has become what many consider to be his Magnum Opus—Temple at the Center of Time.

Are you aware that David (again, ahead of the rest of us) said a clock would start ticking at this very hour and reach its climax in 2018? You owe it to yourself to read (or read again and share) his insightful work (free for the limited time we will be giving it away) and discover the secret connections it holds with the new book Cauldron and the FREE Blood Moons DVD.

Get informed and educated as quickly as you can. People are going to need you.

Your friend in Christ,

Tom

Deputy PM Says Russia Should Re-Arm Amid US, NATO ‘Threats’

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin

MOSCOW, March 9 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian deputy prime minister in charge of defense said “overt threats” by the United States and NATO demonstrate the necessity of equipping the Russian army with modern weapons.

“A hope that after the overt threats by the US and NATO nobody will doubt the necessity of rearming our army and fleet and of reviving our defense industry and military science,” Dmitry Rogozin wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday.

Another round of political standoff between Russia and the West was sparked by the recent uprising in Ukraine and the fate of Crimea, an autonomous Ukrainian region with a majority ethnic Russian population.

Crimean authorities have refused to recognize as legitimate the new central government in Kiev, which ousted President Viktor Yanukovych late last month, and on Thursday they announced a decision to become part of Russia.

Ukraine earlier appealed for assistance from NATO, asking the alliance to use all possible measures to ensure the country’s territorial integrity and protect its people following the approval by Russia’s parliament of the deployment of military forces in Ukraine.

Following these developments, the West showered Moscow with accusations of aggression and threats of sanctions while cutting off military exchanges with Russia and scrambling to bolster military cooperation within NATO.

The Pentagon announced plans on Wednesday to expand combat pilot training in Poland and to send six additional F-15C fighter jets to a NATO mission carrying out air patrols over Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The US Defense Department’s newspaper, “Stars & Stripes,” reported Thursday that the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Truxtun was en route to the Black Sea for previously scheduled exercises with Romania and Bulgaria.

Russia has held a number of military exercises in its western regions in the past days, including air defense drills, combat readiness snap checks and a launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Revolution Or Martial Law

Ukrainian Drone Captures Video Of Russian Troops Fortifying In The Crimea

The only thing that is unclear about the following clip released by the Ukraine's Border Guard supposedly capturing Russians "digging in" on a key route linking Crimea to the rest of the Ukraine, is what is funnier: that the Russian soldier is "painting" the drone with a laser flashlight, or that according to the Ukrainians said action was evidence the drone was being "shot at" by Russian soldiers.

As a follow up, here is another video made by a Ukrainian drone showing the distribution of Russian forces on the peninsula.

Ukraine's Military Mobilizes Trucks, APCs, SAMs, Howitzers and Tanks

Did somebody say de-escalation?

Earlier today, photos were distributed showing the latest military convoy reinforcements heading into the Crimea, accompanies by a Police car demonstrating Moscow license plate numbers, most likely providing further support to the pro-Russian forces in the peninsula.

Supposedly the trucks are carrying troops to reinforces the members of the new Crimean army, pictured below:

While at the same time along the makeshift border between Crimea and the mainland, the Pro-Russian forces are putting down minefields.

However, the Ukrainians, having already been mobilized for over a week, finally appear set to seize back the offensive:

The first clip below captured the 80th Airborne Regiment out of Lviv moving out, direction mainland, preparing to repel foreign attack.

The next video shows what are allegedly Buk SAM batteriesdeployed in the Donetsk region, a city in Eastern Ukraine which in the past week has swayed between Ukraine and Russian authority.

The clip below shows the 95th Airborne brigade also moving out of their barracks in Zhytomyr in western Ukraine, heading East, with an impressive deployment of trucks and APCs.

2S19 "Msta-S" 152mm Howitzers on the move to Crimea.

Finally, 20 T-64 tanks preparing to depart in Bila Tserkva, a city in central Ukraine:

So where again are all those pundits who were so eager to explain away the Ukraine confrontation as one that will promptly be forgotten, and is by now most certainly priced in?
