We'll see, Israel can't wait much longer. http://www.naharnet.com/domino Report: Israel to Strike Iran in March, Lebanon Could Get Involved Diplomatic sources haven't ruled out to al-Liwaa newspaper Lebanon's involvement in a possible war between Israel and Iran. The sources told the daily that the Jewish state is planning in coordination with the U.S. to strike Iranian nuclear states next March. Israel and the U.S. will not allow Iran to put into operation its nuclear project, the diplomat said, adding that the Jewish state's seven-member inner cabinet has given the green light for the attack. The sources didn't rule out the involvement of Lebanon and the Gaza strip in the war, in response to the Israeli attack. Last week, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned Hizbullah to "avoid entering in conflict with us." "We need to constantly prepare for a change in the status quo, though we don't know when it will occur," he said. "We don't want for it to happen, and it might not, but we will not be afraid to react if we have to fight back." Top U.S. general David Petraeus also said earlier this month that Washington has developed contingency plans to address Iran's nuclear ambitions if negotiations falter. Petraeus, who heads U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) that oversees the Middle East, told CNN that Iran's nuclear facilities "certainly can be bombed," even though they are reported to be heavily fortified.

This shocks me in a way that the U.S is willing to help. I wonder why?  It gives me a glimmer of hope that we haven't totally turned our back on Israel. Still pushing the dividing the Lords land will bring ruin.

We get conflicting reports about the U.S. helping, but it is fully aware that a nuclear Iran is security risk to the world. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3836599,00.html Iran says may hit Western warships if attacked Iranian defense minister warns his country could strike back at war vessels deployed in Persian Gulf. 'The Westerners know well that existence of warships serves as best operational targets for Iran should they undertake military action,' Ahmad Vahidi says Reuters Published: 01.19.10, 13:51 / Israel News Iran's defense minister warned on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic could strike back at Western warships in the Gulf if it were attacked over its nuclear program, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. Ahmad Vahidi said there were now more than 90 war vessels in the Gulf - a waterway crucial for global oil supplies - and that they had created a "military environment" there. They included submarines, aircraft carriers and destroyers, he said during a conference in Tehran on the Gulf. "What is the reason underlying the deployment of this many warships and what aim are they pursuing ... are they arrayed against Iran?" Fars quoted Vahidi as saying. "The Westerners know well that the existence of these warships in the Persian Gulf serve as the best operational targets for Iran if they should want to undertake any military action against Iran," he said. Iran has often warned it would retaliate for any attack on its nuclear facilities, which the West suspects form part of a drive to develop bombs. Tehran denies the charge. Neither Israel nor the United States have ruled out military action if diplomacy fails to resolve the long running row over Iran's disputed nuclear ambitions. "The Americans have made conflicting comments (on the possibility of an attack on Iran)," the official IRNA news agency quoted Vahidi as saying. Last month, Vahidi said Iran would strike back at Israeli weapons manufacturing sites and nuclear installations if the Jewish state attacked the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities. Israel is believed to be the only nuclear-armed Middle East state. Iran has often said it has missiles able to reach the Jewish state. Iran, the world's fifth largest oil exporter, says its nuclear work is aimed at generating electricity, not making bombs, but its failure to convince world powers about the peaceful nature of its work has led to UN and US sanctions. |

Debka: Egyptian sources: Israel prepares to strike Iran from Gulf and N. Iraq DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 3, 2010, 10:12 PM (GMT+02:00) Arab voices were fanning Middle East war fever Wednesday night, Feb. 3. debkafile's military sources report that not only are Syrian leaders beating war drums - Syrian foreign minister Walid Muallem said in Damascus: "Israelis, do not test the power of Syria since you know the war will move into your cities" - but Egyptian military sources have put out information purporting to outline Israel's preparations to strike Iran. They report that the Israeli Navy together with the US Fifth Fleet have for some weeks been charting Persian Gulf waters and Iranian shorelines in preparation for attacks by Israeli naval and special operations forces. IDF intelligence and special forces officers, they also say, have been marking out routes for their air and ground forces to drive into Iran and hit its nuclear installations. According to these Egyptian sources, Saudi Arabia has demanded clarifications from Washington about reported US-assisted Israeli preparations to strike Iran and asks why they were not brought to the notice of Riyadh and the Gulf Arab governments. The Saudis added that several Gulf intelligence and naval units had tracked Israeli movements and gathered documentary evidence. Some of this information was leaked in Cairo Wednesday night to Shorouk, a publication which Egyptian intelligence often uses as an outlet for information held to be credible. Shorouk was first out with the story of the Israeli Air Force attack on Iranian arms convoys in Sudan in January 2009. http://www.debka.com/article/8580/ |

Israel threatens to 'use force' against Iran Thu, 04 Feb 2010 00:34:47 GMT Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon says Israel might use force to prevent Iran from developing "nuclear weapons", a claim Iran vehemently rejects. "Iran's plan will probably be stopped by a regime change or, if there is no other choice, by recourse to force to deprive Iran of its nuclear arms production capabilities," Yaalon told a security conference in Herzliya. "It is important to continue to make clear to the extremist regime in Iran that all options remain on the table and that ignoring the demands of the international community will probably end in bitter tears for Iran," AFP quoted Yaalon as saying on Wednesday. Yaalon's reference to force was not new. Israel has consistently voiced its determination to stop Iran's nuclear program even through military options. Israel which is believed to be the only possessor of nuclear arms in the Middle East accuses Iran of pursuing a military nuclear program. Iran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has declared that its peaceful nuclear program is being pursued within international regulations .The UN nuclear watchdog has repeatedly announced that it had not found no evidence to support the allegations that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear arms. http://www.presstv.ir/ |

This will guarantee a first Israeli punch: Iran: Moscow gave missile reassurance BY ASSOCIATED PRESS 04/02/2010 21:24 "Our Russian colleagues have assured us they'll meet their obligations," says Iranian envoy. Talkbacks (20) Russia has assured Iran that it still intends to deliver long-range air-defense missiles, the Iranian ambassador in Moscow said Thursday. Russian news agencies cited Seyyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi as saying, "Our Russian colleagues have assured us that they will meet their obligations." A Kremlin spokesman declined to comment. Russia signed a 2007 contract to sell the S-300 missile complex, but so far has not delivered. The delay has not been explained, but Israel and the United States strongly objected to Iran obtaining the missiles, which would significantly boost the country's defense capability. The ambassador was quoted as saying Iran is ready to receive the weapons. A top Russian arms trade official recently signaled the delivery may go ahead. http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=167833 |

Arab media: 2 Israeli Navy ships passed through Suez Canal Two Israeli missile boats pass through Egypt's Suez Canal en route to Red Sea, according to Arab media reports; Cairo adopts strict security measures to ensure ships' safety. Egyptian sources estimate vessels headed to Persian Gulf Roee Nahmias Published: 02.06.10, 23:27 / Israel News Two Israeli missile boats reportedly passed through the Suez Canal Thursday morning, according to Arab media reports over the weekend. Egyptian authorities reportedly adopted strict security measures to ensure the ships' safety. According to the reports, the two Navy ships traveled through the canal en route to the Red Sea. The sources did not provide the exact ultimate destination of the missile boats. However, Egyptian maritime sources quoted in the Arab media estimated that both ships were headed to the Persian Gulf and may reach it within four days. The veracity of these estimates is unclear. The sail through the Suez Canal was coordinated with Egyptian authorities, which reportedly adopted strict security arrangements to ensure the safe passage of the two Israeli ships. According to Arab media, Egyptian forces prevented any vessels from passing through the Canal and also stopped the vehicular traffic on the road leading to it. According to the reports, one Israeli missile boat already passed through the Suez Canal in June and July of last year. In one case, the Israeli ship was said to have been accompanied by an Israeli submarine. Last week, Egyptian newspaper al-Shuruq reported that the US has been holding extensive maneuvers in the Persian Gulf, including some across Iran's shores. The report was based on information provided by senior Egyptian sources. In addition, the newspaper reported that Israeli vessels have been mapping the Persian Gulf's waters in the past six months in cooperation with American forces belonging to the Fifth Fleet. However, it appears the report regarding Israel was baseless, and that it was leaked in an attempt to gauge Jerusalem's response. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3845182,00.html |

Last update - 21:21 06/02/2010 U.S. Senator Lieberman: Impose sanctions on Iran or attack it "Quote" The world faces a stark choice between imposing tough sanctions on Iran to stop its nuclear program, or attacking it, United States Senator Joe Lieberman said Saturday. Lieberman is the influential chairman of the Senate committee on homeland security. He was speaking a day after Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that his country was ready to accept an international swap of uranium, but only under certain conditions. "We have a choice here: to go to tough economic sanctions to make diplomacy work or we will face the prospect of military action against Iran," Lieberman told the annual Munich Security Conference. Advertisement Top U.S. commanders are already working out how such a strike should be conducted, and although "no-one wants this to happen ... unless we together act strongly and do more than talk that is exactly what will happen," Lieberman said. A nuclear-armed Iran would provoke chaos in the Middle East, send world oil prices soaring and end any hope of a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Lieberman said. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1147872.html |

Syrian slips Hizballah Fateh-110 missiles able to destroy Israeli cities DEBKAfile Special Report February 7, 2010, 8:40 AM (GMT+02:00) Syrian-made Fateh-110 to HizballahThe secret transfer of the mobile surface-to-surface Syrian-made Fateh-110 (range 250km) missile to Hizballah sparked the prediction Friday, Feb. 5 from an unnamed US official that cross-border arms smuggling from Syria into Lebanon outside state control was "very dangerous" and "paved the way to war similar to Israel-Hizballah conflict of 2006. debkafile's military sources report hat Israel warned Syria through at least two diplomatic channels against Hizballah using this lethal weapon, which is capable of reaching almost every Israel city. Our sources disclose: Syria pulled the wool of Israel's eyes for the transfer by openly training Hizballah in the use of SA-2 and SA-6 surface-to-surface missiles. Israel had warned it would deem their passage into Lebanon Syrian casus belli by Syria. The Fateh-110 is still more lethal, accurate and dangerous than the SA-2 and SA-3. it confronts Israel now with a Hizballah armed with a solid-fuel propellant, road-mobile, single-stage, short-range ballistic system weighing three tons with a half-ton warhead and a range of 250 kilometers. It is not deployed in surface batteries but fired from mobile launchers, which the solid propellant renders capable of firing at speed with little advance preparation, before returning to the fortified underground silos Hizballah has sunk in mountain areas across Lebanon. These features make the Fateh-110 a very tough target for Israeli bombers to strike. According to our intelligence sources, Israel posted warnings against Hizballah using the weapon through US Middle East envoy George missile who called on president Bashar Assad in Damascus on January 20 and ,even more emphatically, through Spanish foreign minister Miguel Moratinos who arrived in Syria on Feb. 3 after talks in Jerusalem. The message he carried was that if Hizballah ventured to fire the Fateh-110, Israel was determined to hit back at strategic and military targets inside Syria. This warning instantly prompted the war rhetoric which emanated from Assad and his foreign minister Walid Moallem. Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman, known for his undiplomatic, blunt style, responded by warning Syria that it stood to lose the next war and the Assad family would lose its grip on power in Damascus. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu and defense minister Ehud Barak are presumed to have endorsed the first part of Lieberman's comment as representing their own view. But the minister added the personal threat on Syria's leaders on his own initiative. http://www.debka.com/article/8591/ "Syria pulled the wool over Israel's eyes.... "? What do they think? Israel doesn't know? heh...heh...heh.... |

Iran moves closer to confrontation with West over uranium President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran took his country closer to confrontation with the West on Sunday, ordering scientists to enrich Iran's stockpiles of uranium to the higher level needed for nuclear power. By Richard Spencer, Middle East Correspondent Published: 2:50PM GMT 07 Feb 2010 Iran moves closer to confrontation with West Mr Ahmadinejad's order was the culmination of a series of confusing statements by the regime in the last week. If it is carried out, it will scupper what was hoped to be a looming deal to transfer most of Iran's uranium abroad for further processing. Many in the West want uranium processing to take place outside the country so that fears over a weapons programme are allayed and the country's nuclear plans are better monitored. European nations and America were already leading calls for more sanctions to be applied to Iran in the absence of a deal. Now if further enrichment starts, they are likely to put proposals to the United Nations security council soon. Mr Ahmadinejad made his announcement with characteristic melodrama. In a speech filmed live for state television, he accused the West of "playing games" over the proposed deal and then turned towards Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation, who was in the audience. "I now ask Dr Salehi to start work on the production of 20 per cent fuel using centrifuges," he said. Like previous demands by Mr Ahmadinejad that his scientists build 20 new uranium enrichment plants, the stream of statements may be designed to rally support at home as much as to spread confusion abroad. The wave of protest against his re-election last June has subsided since the country's main cities were convulsed by demonstrations in December, but is heading for a new peak this week, the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. Opposition activists and exile groups are said to be organising an infiltration of government rallies planned for Thursday. Under the deal, put forward in October by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran would transfer three-quarters of its uranium, currently enriched to 3.5 per cent, to Russia for processing to 20 per cent. It would be handed back as fuel rods that could be used only in a research reactor in Tehran. Once enriched to 20 per cent, uranium needs to be further processed to 90 per cent for weapons purposes, but analysts believe Iran now has or is close to having the technical means to achieve that enhancement. The total sum involved in the deal is significant as it would reduce the quantities still in Iran to below the level needed to build a nuclear weapon. For that reason, Iran's negotiating partners have rejected the idea of handing over stockpiles bit by bit. Last week, Mr Ahmadinejad appeared to accept the deal's terms, but Manouchehr Mottaki, the foreign minister, on Friday reiterated conditions that are unacceptable to the West, including allowing Iran to determine the quantities involved. In his speech yesterday, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "We had told them to come and have a swap, although we could produce the 20 per cent enriched fuel ourselves. We gave them two to three months' time for such a deal. They started a new game." This apparent decision to cross the line of further enrichment came in spite of meetings, described by Mr Mottaki as "very good", with Yukiya Amano, the new head of the IAEA. A Foreign Office spokesman said Mr Ahmadinejad's order would be "a deliberate breach of five United Nations Security Council Resolutions". Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, the German defence minister, said: "Today's statement shows that farce is being played out just like we have seen in the past, that the outstretched hand of the international community has not only not been taken but pushed back." Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said in Rome: "If the international community will stand together and bring pressure to bear on the Iranian government, I believe there is still time for sanctions and pressure to work." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new |

Iran a Nuclear State The Ayatollahs Are Asking for It By Alan Caruba Thursday, February 11, 2010 The announcement by Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that Iran was now “a nuclear state” was an invitation to have its nuclear facilities attacked by Israel. Israel, after all, is a nation that Ahmadinejad said should be “wiped off the map” and hardly a day has gone by for the past 31 years that some Iranian leader has not called for death to Israel and, yes, death to America. Let us, for a moment, cast a look back at the Israeli response to earlier nuclear threats. When the French built the Osirak nuclear reactor in Baghdad, the Israelis destroyed it on June 7, 1981 in a daring air raid. When the Syrians built a facility described as a “nuclear cache”, the Israelis destroyed it on September 6, 2007 in another air raid. For months now the Israeli air force has been practicing long-range bombing runs, putting their planes on a run to the straits of Gibraltar and back; about the same distance from Jerusalem to Tehran. The U.S. has been supplying “bunker-buster” bombs and there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Israel has its own nuclear weapons. This Israeli response to the wars perpetrated against it since the day it declared its sovereignty in 1948 has been to turn out the entire nation to defeat their enemies. The U.S. will be among the last to know when the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities will take place. The current administration is no friend to the Israelis, but they have dispatched their top intelligence and military people to Israel and to Saudi Arabia to sound out the when and wherefore of an attack. Meanwhile, the Israelis and their Saudi counterparts have been meeting to discuss the logistics of such an attack. No one knows better than the Saudis that a nuclear Iran poses a threat of incalculable proportions to their oil fields and facilities. No one knows better the vital importance of the Persian Gulf in the transport of oil. The Israelis will not wait for the first Iranian missile to be fired at them. In his book, “A World of Trouble”, Patrick Tyler wrote of the history of U.S. Middle East relations from the days of Eisenhower to George W. Bush. “The first reports of an Israeli air attack on Egypt reached the duty officer at the White House Situation Room at 2:38 a.m. on June 5, 1967. They came from news agencies whose correspondents could hear the bombs going off at air bases on the outskirts of Cairo.” In 1967, Egypt was ruled by Gamal Abdel Nasser, an advocate of Arab unity and the very definition of a loose cannon. “Lucius Battle, the insightful American ambassador who had just completed two years in Cairo, was deeply troubled by the ‘ungovernable problem’ of Nasser’s demagoguery.” The problem that has faced every president since the 1979 uprising in Iran has been the demagoguery of the Supreme Guides of the Iranian government since the Ayatollah Khomeini had led the overthrow of the Iranian Shah and the subsequent hostage taking of American diplomats whose release was not achieved until 444 days later when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. The Six Day War, a preemptive attack on an Egypt that had massed troops in the Sinai, was an unmitigated disaster for Egypt and expanded the territory of Israel in the wake of its taking of Syria’s Golan Heights, the West Bank, Gaza and the Sinai (later returned). The Arab response was a conference in Khartoum in which the Arabs asserted its now-famous three no’s. No negotiation, no recognition, and no peace with Israel. Under the leadership of Anwar Sadat, peace with Egypt was achieved and his reward was to be assassinated. A similar peace was achieved with Jordan. Every U.S. president since then has demanded that Israel return territory in return for peace, but there has never been peace and there is not likely to be any. Islam is a warrior cult based on the Koran; essentially a battle plan to impose Islam on the world. The Iranian people are a wonderful people, but they are prisoners in their own nation and are currently struggling to rid themselves of the ayatollahs. Israel, however, does not have the privilege of waiting to see whether they are successful or not. The ayatollahs and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are literally begging the Israeli’s to attack. They have mocked and deceived the West for decades in their quest for nuclear status and power. No amount of United Nations “sanctions” will have any more effect on the situation than they did against the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein. One of these mornings, the White House Situation Room will be informed of the Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and you can be very sure that the entire West and the Middle East will breath a sigh of relief when they do. The hypocrisy of condemnation that will follow will be vast, but tiny Israel will have saved the world and freed the Iranian people. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/19919 |

Russia Says 'Nyet” to Israel on Missile Sale to Iran by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu (IsraelNN.com) Russia gave Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu the cold shoulder before he even landed in Moscow Sunday night and said it will proceed with its sale of advanced S-300 missiles to Iran. The Prime Minister said before departing for Moscow he would press Russia to cancel the sale. Vladimir Nazarov, deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council secretary, told Interfax news agency that the S-300 is an “exclusively defensive weapon” and therefore is not covered by international sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Iran says it needs the system to defend against an aerial strike. "There is a signed contract (to supply S-300 missiles) which we must implement, but deliveries have not started yet," Nazarov said before Prime Minister Netanyahu landed for a three-day visit with Russian and Jewish leaders. The Prime Minister visited Russia several months ago for a one-day visit, ostensibly to convince Moscow to suspend the deal. However. Iran also is on the agenda, and he said before leaving Israel on Sunday that he will push for “crippling sanctions” in another diplomatic effort to halt the advancement of its unsupervised nuclear facilities. Nazarov echoed sentiments expressed in Israel by visiting U.S. Chief of Staff Mike Mullen and said that attacking Iran would be a mistake, but he used harsher terms. "Any military action against Iran will make the situation explode and will have extremely negative consequences for the entire world, including for Russia, which is a neighbor of Iran," he warned. Prime Minister Netanyahu (left) will meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir as Russian falls into line with an American-led effort to place stiffer sanctions on Iran. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday night that she believes China, which has been the toughest opponent to sanctions, also will agree. Both Russia and China have a vested interest in Iran's nuclear reactors, which they are helping to build. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/New |

Israel mulling a spring or summer war: Ahmadinejad President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that Iran's arch-foe Israel was mulling starting a war "next spring or summer" but has yet to make a final decision. Without specifying whom would be targeted, Ahmadinejad said: "According to information we have they (Israel) are seeking to start a war next spring or summer, although their decision is not final yet." "But the resistance and regional states will finish them if this fake regime does anything again," the hardliner said at a press conference when asked about ongoing efforts to reconcile ties between Arabs and Israel. The already deep-seated enmity between Iran and Israel have deteriorated since Ahmadinejad became the president, with the latter not ruling out a military strike against Tehran's nuclear sites in a bid to stop the Islamic republic's galloping atomic programme. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Ahmadinejad's claim of a war during a visit Tuesday to Russia. "We are not planning any war," Netanyahu said in Moscow following talks with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. "They are doing different manipulations," Netanyahu said. "I would not be surprised if these things we are hearing now are... (the) result of the Iranian feelings ahead of the impending United Nations Security Council discussions on sanctions," he added. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100216/twl-israel-mulling-a-spring-or-summer-wa-3cd7efd.html |

The Alpha-Omega Report News Alert For 2/21/10 The A-O Weekly Round Up, the Mideast News Spotlight and the A-O Intelilgence Digest for 2/21/10 MUST READ BELOW: Amazing Intelligence News We’ve posted an amazing A-O Intelligence Digest report this week. - Even as our A-O Report was coming down from YELLOW ALERT, Israeli Defense Forces remained on a Highest ALERT level expecting orders to launch air strikes against Iran by the 18th of February. However, the White House dispatched Admiral Mullen to Tel Aviv with a strong request (i.e. ‘demand’) that Israeli leaders ‘stand down’ their military for strikes against Iran – for the time being. Once again, our A-O intelligence sources were right on the money – and as your’s truly suspected, Israel did not strike. - We came very “Close to War” – and that is the title of our first story in this week’s Intelligence Digest. I also provide additional prophetic insight behind the situation in this Digest Edition. - Even though we were within hours of an outbreak for a major war, the world had no clue and still has no clue. You are but a handful of people with at least an inkling of knowledge. Now there is more to this story and I do provide more in the Digest edition for this week, but this week was a very busy week for Mideast news, particularly related to Iran. You’ll recognize this when you read this week’s Mideast News Spotlight and note all of the story headlines. - We’re still “Close To War” – even though the IDF has stood down for the moment. We had an additional piece of late news as we went to posting informing us that the Israeli Cabinet met in a closed-door meeting, reportedly to discuss the Iran situation in light of late news developments that indicated Russia was preparing to ship its S-300 antimissile defense systems to Iran to complete a sales order that began in December of 2007. - Reports indicate that Russia has told Iran to expect delivery within 30 days but while publicly acknowledging, late Friday, their intent to deliver that weapons system, a Russian spokesman claimed there were technical issues to be resolved and had no date to give for delivery. According to one intelligence report from an Egyptian government official, Syria would also be acquiring at least one of the mobile systems for protection of Damascus. - No doubt, this news is what has prompted the Israeli Cabinet meeting, as Saturday is the Sabbath in Israel. I suspect the cabinet conversation revolved on whether or not to prepare strikes in the next 30 days or less, before Iran can receive that air defense system. So we may see an outbreak of war in March, far sooner than perhaps many of us expected or realized. Then again, maybe not. It depends on whether or not God in His Sovereignty will permit such action. It is my fervent hope that The Alpha-Omega Report will be able to provide ongoing coverage of developments that are so unique to our website. In the past 10 years, The A-O Report has often provided you with news and analysis well in advance of mainstream media and even now, we continue to do so – but that appears to be coming to an end. The Alpha-Omega Report is facing, yet again, closure. http://www.aoreport.com |
