Again, do not pay attention to the US deceivers behind their Oz-like curtain and their frenzied pushing of Western propaganda machine levers as sleight of hand distraction to willfully withhold the fact that many unreported major world events are simultaneously occurring now that foretell the start of World War III potentially just days away.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The current threat level<\/strong> to every human life on this planet even <strong>surpasses<\/strong> <strong>the October Cuban Missile Crisis of 54 years<\/strong> ago as the earth\u00a0today is in more peril by manmade destruction than any previous time in human history. Yet the neocon madness of Obama, Hillary and their MSM minions do not want Americans to know this dire truth that the US is rapidly moving to very likely execute a series of false flags that could ignite a global war between US-NATO and the Eastern powers: Russia, China and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>And based on alarming rapid fire events, it could even begin prior to the scheduled November 8th presidential election just three weeks away. Make no mistake \u2013 that perfect storm of destabilizing developments triggering WWIII, the global\u00a0economy crash and possible martial law timed with the US presidential election that many independent journalists like myself have been writing about for months is unfolding right this very moment.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few of these disturbing breaking news events and anomalies that are currently unfolding over this last weekend that are conspicuously missing in action from all MSM headlines:<\/p>\n<h3>FAA issues no fly zone over parts of Montana<\/h3>\n<p>Per the FAA on Saturday a no fly zone went into effect for most of the day from 3PM to midnight over selected parts of the state of Montana.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA claimed that US military rockets were being launched in connection with space operations\u201d yet<strong>the only missiles in Montana are nuclear armed warhead missiles.<\/strong> According to NewsPrepper.com,<strong>the missile silos in Montana are armed with Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV\u2019s) and each MIRV contains a 100 kiloton nuclear warhead.<\/strong> Within a half hour after launch, each single rocket is capable of destroying eight cities anywhere on earth.<\/p>\n<p>The real question is what was the government actually up to on Saturday with nuclear missiles in Montana?<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cboxElement\" title=\"W87Schematic781\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/W87Schematic781.gif\" rel=\"lightbox[5551581]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5551664\" title=\"W87Schematic781\" src=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/W87Schematic781.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"393\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/nuclearweaponarchive.org\/Usa\/Weapons\/W87.html\">Nuclear Archive<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Buildup of US military planes and ships\u00a0on Diego Garcia Island<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last Friday isn this remote US military outpost on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean (see image below), a US military private contractor who cycles through every nine days working on the island for ongoing maintenance of military hardware reported <strong>an enormous, unprecedented buildup of US Air Force bombers &#8211;\u00a0both B-1\u2019s and B-2\u2019s.<\/strong> Some were painted flat black. On a related note, this past week the US Air Force was caught dressing up its warplanes disguised as Russian aircraft that would likely be used in false flag operations to blame Russia for aggression it didn\u2019t commit. The civilian contractor on Diego Garcia stated that far more activity\u00a0was witnessed than any time prior in the 9 years he\u2019s been on the job there. He reports that under the tightest security the government has blocked off access roads and that so many warplanes have been assembled on the island that aircraft are now being parked on blocked off roads.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cboxElement\" title=\"diegogarcianaval\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/diegogarcianaval.png\" rel=\"lightbox[5551581]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5375279\" title=\"diegogarcianaval\" src=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/diegogarcianaval.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a>A count of over a dozen refueling tankers were sighted and flights were taking off on the average of every 15 minutes. He also observes the tent city that sprang up includes temporary barracks and hangars for both US Air Force and Navy personnel. His ex-Air Force coworker speculated that the ultra-tight security and sudden influx of <strong>so much activity is characteristic of top secret nuclear weapons movement.<\/strong>Speaking of which, the eyewitness also noticed that 6-8 US Navy vessels were offshore and the island docks were busily unloading countless pallets of bombs. Obviously sneaky Obama is up to something very big against his targeted cold war enemies potentially including nuclear powered Russia and China.<\/p>\n<h3>DEFCON Level 3 warning<\/h3>\n<p>Even the Sunday edition of the British rag the Daily Star ran the headline <strong>US nuclear attack warning \u2018upgraded to level 3\u2019 as Russian threat goes \u2018beyond Cold War.\u2019\u201d<\/strong> Though midway through the article the Star quietly backtracks from its sensational headline claiming the US government has not officially released any public notice that the US is currently on DEFCON level 3, it references its breaking news\u201d headline based on the conspiracy theory\u201d website defconwarningsystem.com.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cboxElement\" title=\"Screen Shot 2016-10-18 at 11.21.48\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-18-at-11.21.48.png\" rel=\"lightbox[5551581]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5551657\" title=\"Screen Shot 2016-10-18 at 11.21.48\" src=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-18-at-11.21.48.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"436\" height=\"582\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In any event, <strong>only three previous times in US history has Washington issued a DEFCON level 3 warning as its official nuclear war alert index, the last time being on 9\/11.<\/strong> This particular level on the Chiefs of Staff developed<strong> defense readiness condition\u201d<\/strong> entails a nuclear attack readiness that the US Air Force is prepared to mobilize a nuclear strike within a 15 minute period. Level 3 also calls for the federal plan to take immediate effect that will maintain continuity of government services in response to imminent threat of any national emergency or crisis. Though true to form, the most secretive US president in history \u2013 Barack Obama and his neocons \u2013 are choosing to not publicly disclose this level 3 grave danger facing the American people,\u00a0admitting the US\u00a0is on the brink of nuclear war against Russia.\u00a0For many years now the powers-that-shouldn\u2019t-be have been secretly preparing for this nuclear showdown moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The five-level alert system ranges from level 5 at no threat at all to level 1 which is all-out nuclear war within the hour.<\/strong> Despite Washington\u2019s official non-disclosure, a reasonable chance exists that we could be headed toward level 2, signifying an urgent readiness to deploy an armed attack within six hours in what would most likely\u00a0amount to\u00a0a nuclear exchange with one or more adversaries (Russia and China), resulting in mutually assured destruction (MAD) that\u2019s long been an integral part of US national security policy and strategic military doctrine. During the first cold war MAD prevented either side from pushing the nuke button due to the principle of deterrence motivating both parties to not dare engage in such insanely suicidal behavior. However, the puppet masters and their neocon lunatics presently calling the shots are operating from a deluded sense of false security believing that when safely cloistered in their luxurious underground bunkers, they\u2019re capable of surviving a nuclear holocaust at the earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<h3>Last Friday Obama met with foreign policy advisors on the Syrian crisis<\/h3>\n<p>Obama met last Friday with his top security advisors to assess and weigh all his <strong>military and non-military options in Syria and beyond.<\/strong> Clearly with all the unprecedented activity noted just since this meeting, the chronically weak leader who\u2019s been our commander-in-chief the last eight years is racing against election time heavily influenced by his hawkish, preemptive strike\u201d neocons to rewrite his legacy. Putin. Keep in mind Barack Hussein Obama\u2019s been the Manchurian puppet president who\u2019s dutifully followed his globalist masters\u2019 marching orders to destroy America to the T.<strong> So the big question remains is he planning to defy Russian warnings and attack Assad forces like he sneakily did on September 17th and thereby initiate war directly against Russia?<\/strong> By what has been happening over the weekend, it appears he just might.<\/p>\n<h3>CIA coordinating cyberattacks on Russia<\/h3>\n<p><strong>No doubt also high on Obama\u2019s meeting agenda last Friday is the covert cyber operation against Russia.<\/strong> As part of US retaliation for Putin allegedly hacking into DNC and Clinton emails while trying to change the election outcome in favor of Trump, all unsubstantiated deep state lies, MSM presstitute <strong>NBC News just reported that the CIA is coordinating the launching of cyberattacks against Russia.<\/strong> All the major powers engage in hacking and cyber warfare, so really there\u2019s nothing much new here other than efforts to derail Russian intelligence apparatus and economic infrastructure is at its height right now.<\/p>\n<p>This tit for tat game Empire\u2019s playing now is serious risky business. Repercussions may have a boomerang effect manifesting as either a false flag or real cyber security breaches that could wreak havoc with US military and economic infrastructure. One morning we may wake up and not be able to withdraw cash from our local ATM or even pump gas. Or if asymmetrical warfare escalates to EMP attack, we may find ourselves without electricity for months, which within the first year is estimated to result in the death of 90% of the American population. The stakes are only growing higher yet our despots in charge appear to be throwing all caution to the wind. But then if their eugenics plan\u00a0calls for\u00a090% of us to be dead, it readily explains their reckless, homicidal behavior given both the means and motive.<\/p>\n<h3>US at war now in Yemen and signs of escalating violence and conflict at other global hotspots<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"cboxElement\" title=\"Y\u00e9men carte\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Y%C3%A9men-carte.png\" rel=\"lightbox[5551581]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Y\u00e9men carte\" src=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Y%C3%A9men-carte.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a>This week\u2019s aggression in Yemen by US Navy destroyers firing cruise missiles on Yemen soil can easily be construed as yet another clear, premeditated act of war against both Yemen as well as its fellow Shiite ally Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Again without confirming any evidence of truth behind its claim, a highly deceitful US insists that Houthi rebels fired a missile twice during this past week at a Navy destroyer. Hence five missiles were launched by the destroyers at alleged Houthi radar stations.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no accident or random event that the Ukraine conflict is also heating up now. This week a helicopter with NATO military instructors onboard was shot down by Donetsk freedom fighters. With freshly supplied new heavy weapons and even American snipers, the US puppet government in Kiev launched another offensive into the Donetsk People\u2019s Republic with heavy mortar shelling. The US is stepping up its hostilities globally on all hotspot fronts in its apparent launch of this century\u2019s world war.<\/p>\n<p>As yet another further sign of the West\u2019s plan to wage global war against Eastern powers, a Sunday FARS News Agency article is reporting that based on recent WikiLeaks released emails sent to Hillary,<strong>Israel has entertained designs in its warming of relations with the House of Saud to use a Saudi airbase\u00a0from which\u00a0Israeli air force jets can be deployed for purposes of attacking Iran.<\/strong> The article also mentioned in a related matter that The New York Times in 2010 disclosed that Saudi Arabia was prepared to give its air force stand down orders so that Israeli warplanes could safely pass through Saudi airspace to enable Israel to attack Iran\u2019s nuclear and military facilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Multi-modal Information war propaganda<\/h3>\n<p>At the same time that <strong>NBC discloses the CIA hack-attack plan,<\/strong> messenger boy Biden makes his NBC appearance to further deliver the message to both America and Putin on Meet the Press. These so called countermeasures against fabricated Putin aggression are being carried out in a multitude of ways, just one being through recklessly blunt, sabre rattling threats recently uttered by members of both the State and Defense Departments.<\/p>\n<p>Of course another old oft-used Empire standby is<strong> to engage in economic terrorism<\/strong> through such Empire vassal appendages as the UN and EU. The UK represented by warmongering Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and his sniveling US counterpart Kerry just met in London to discuss <strong>the latest round of ante upping economic sanctions against both Syria and Russia<\/strong> for their alleged misconduct in Aleppo.\u201d Again they\u2019re hypocritically hiding behind their worn out phony humanitarian excuses when in fact it\u2019s Putin and Assad who are doing the world the favor of wiping out their US supported terrorists. In perhaps the most provocative development leading to the West\u2019s war against Russia, as <strong>the #1 US lackey last week the UK has given its fighter jet pilots in the Royal Air Force the greenlight to fire upon Russian aircraft in Syria.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the criminal cabal in Washington says nothing when those same terrorists they\u2019re backing are shelling and killing civilians daily in western Aleppo. Last Thursday five children were killed in a bombed out school. Nor do they squawk when their terrorists are repeatedly using chemical weapons on Syrian people. Just two months ago in Aleppo five civilians were asphyxiated to death. Remember Obama\u2019s self-righteous faked redline in August 2013 after his terrorists killed all those children in Ghouta? Or when every day Saudi jets are committing horrific war crimes of the century on the innocent civilians of Yemen 10,000 victims later. Instead of acknowledging humanitarian responsibility to protect the innocent in the poorest nation in the Middle East, the US Empire has now directly entered that war with recent missile attacks killing more Yemenis. Empire\u2019s egregious criminality cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n<h3>Vice President Biden on NBC\u2019s Meet the Press: Obama is threatening Putin with nuclear war<\/h3>\n<p>But the latest smugly delivered message to Putin of the ominous nuclear Armageddon comes out of the mouth of his VP Joe Biden on Sunday\u2019s Meet the Press interview. <strong>The last question asked was what is Obama doing about Putin tampering with the US election outcome?<\/strong> A clear US lie without any supporting evidence thus far. Though Biden danced around the issue with a nebulous innuendo reply that career politicians are notorious for, he alluded that Obama is sending Putin an implicit threat. According to highly astute historian and geopolitical writer Eric Zuesse\u2019s deciphered interpretation, <strong>that threat is the nuclear war that Putin and the Russians are now taking very seriously.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hillary\u00a0<strong>has repeatedly made war against both Russia and Iran her top priority imperative.<\/strong>\u00a0 On the other hand, Trump has made it clear that he would work with Putin as a partner to eradicate the scourge of the terrorists worldwide. And without the terrorists, no more war on terror, no more terrorism, no more reason for making draconian laws in the name of national security that kill what\u2019s left of our mortally wounded Constitution, and as an ally of Putin who dislikes globalism as much as terrorism, no more reason for one world government tyranny. Bearing this in mind, it\u2019s very easy to see why Obama and Hillary are so gung ho and determined to risk all our lives for their NWO cause.<\/p>\n<h3>Saturday\u2019s 20 nation meeting over Syria ends without agreement<\/h3>\n<p>Syrian talks in Lausanne, Switzerland involving 20 nations ended with zero agreement reached (other than be open to meeting at an undisclosed hypothetical future time). US et al versus Russia et al are deadlocked completely at odds with each other as US Empire is unwilling to pursue diplomatic channels with Russia to prevent the larger war. The US led coalition airstrike on Syrian soldiers last month proved that much in reality. At this point Russia does not trust the West and for good reason.<\/p>\n<h3>Russia\u2019s preparedness for nuclear war<\/h3>\n<p>In response to the cold war approaching the boiling point in recent weeks, and in total contrast to America,<strong>Russia has been busy preparing its citizens for potential nuclear war.<\/strong> Moscow ordered all Russian citizens, diplomats and students traveling, working or studying abroad to immediately return home. Members of Russia\u2019s diplomatic corps were threatened with reprimands and career demotions should they refuse to comply with the Kremlin directive. Additionally 40 million Russian citizens, that\u2019s near one-third of the nation\u2019s total population, just completed an unprecedented massive nuclear war defense drill. Also unlike the US, Moscow has built underground facilities for housing its 12 million residents under the capital city for safe refuge. Again unlike America, Russia is taking the extreme threat of nuclear war with the West very seriously. Even MSM fixture ABC News ran a story how Russians have been preparing for a nuclear winter outcome. In stark contrast, outside of Putin bashing and the election sideshow, neither Washington nor its propaganda whores in the press have alerted Americans that they are currently in grave danger. In fact it\u2019s been an MSM news blackout while Russian media has told its citizens that nuclear war is imminent.\u201d Meanwhile as another sign that Putin means business, in response to NATO\u2019s nuclear missiles activated in Romania and Poland, Putin has ordered at the ready his nuclear capable missiles in Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave between NATO members Poland and Lithuania.<\/p>\n<h3>The Russians are Coming\u201d Propaganda Ploy: Alleged Russian Invasion\u201d of US by way of Alaska<\/h3>\n<p>Britain\u2019s tabloid the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/latest-news\/553882\/world-war-3-russia-america-troops-invade-alaska-warning-putin-obama\">Daily Star<\/a> (quoted by The Inquisitr) has\u00a0run an October 16th headline The Russians Are Coming\u201d, Says Ex-Navy Leader: World War 3 Will Start with Alaska Invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cboxElement\" title=\"Screen Shot 2016-10-18 at 11.40.15\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-18-at-11.40.15.png\" rel=\"lightbox[5551581]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5551672\" title=\"Screen Shot 2016-10-18 at 11.40.15\" src=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-18-at-11.40.15-1024x402.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"717\" height=\"281\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inquisitr Headlines (October 15, 2016)<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, the anonymous source to the <a href=\"ww3: 'Get ready for Russian invasion' Americans in Alaska told to prep for IMMINENT ATTACK\">Russians Are Coming\u201d story published by the Daily Star<\/a> is but<strong>part of the Clinton-Obama propaganda blitzkrieg falsely blaming Putin<\/strong> for everything gone wrong in this world as yet more propaganda used to justify a US war against Russia. That said, according to the Inquisitr article, the unnamed high-ranking former US Navy official\u201d warned that an unprotected part of America\u2019s largest state Alaska with its closest point separating America from Russia just 50 miles, has been Putin\u2019s planned designated target where Russian submarines will secure an invasion of our 50th state and proceed southward to the continental US.

The article goes on to report that other unnamed sources have independently also laid claim that Russians have been moving into the local area and living in abandoned motels and military bases.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The bottom line is the West and their terrorist allies are losing the war in Syria.<\/strong> <strong>The battle for Aleppo is being won as the Syrian Arab Army is making headway in the eastern part of Syria\u2019s second largest city. Not only is the legitimate president of Syria \u2013 Bashar al-Assad \u2013 going to remain in power, but the US wet dream of a no fly zone under US control is not in the cards either<\/strong>. Putin has checkmated the neocon traitors by deploying his advanced S-400 and S-300 anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems vowing to shoot down any unidentified airplanes in the skies over Syria. The trained Syrians will be the ones pulling the trigger.<\/p>\n<p>The US is realizing its longtime investment in terrorists and terrorism is being lost as Raqqa will be the final ISIS stronghold to be vanquished once Aleppo is liberated. Another second largest city in a neighboring country, Mosul will also be next, won back by Iraqi forces. The terrorists and their Western and Gulf State backers are going down in defeat. Knowing that US Empire\u2019s run as the unipolar hegemonic kingpin of the world is rapidly fading, DC crazies are now acting out aggressively with wild abandon. Hopefully they\u2019re not so deranged to push the button.<\/p>\n<p>The most fitting metaphor for the current geopolitics chessboard drama being played out in Syria is the neighborhood bully who for years always has had his way browbeating and terrorizing his smaller neighbors into submission.<\/p>\n<p>But one day the bully finally meets his match \u2013 a worthy challenger willing to stand up and fight the bully once and for all. Always having bragged about his strength and power over everyone else through his frequent show of force, which he has brutally and repeatedly demonstrated, ultimately the bully is now having second thoughts, having to face reality that his stealth and strength cannot match his false bravado.<\/p>\n<p>The bully realizes that he can\u2019t actually beat his worthy challenger who has been able to outsmart and outfox him. Since the bully knows that the jig is up, he is fast running out of options. Unable to face the public humiliation of being exposed as the weaker, finally dethroned opponent, the bully is becoming increasingly agitated, mentally unstable and desperate.<\/p>\n<p>Before whimpering away in defeat, the bully decides to throw one final but huge tantrum as his last defining moment as the king of the hill, exercising all his power and intimidation, he threatens to kill everyone in the neighborhood. This is what\u2019s going on right now, the world bully \u2013 the United States Empire \u2013 is finally receiving his comeuppance. <strong>But the only problem is the mentally deranged bully possesses WMD\u2019s that can in fact destroy the entire global village.<\/strong> \u00a0Since he knows his days as top dog are over and he feels he has nothing left to lose since he\u2019s going down anyway, will the bully follow through on his threat to bring down the entire planet with him? That\u2019s the big question.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Joachim Hagopian<\/strong>\u00a0is a West Point graduate and former US Army officer.
