The Fourth Horseman

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying: Come, and see. [8] And behold a pale horse, and he that sat upon him, his name was Death, and hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Revelations 6: 7,8

Between Libya and Japan scant little attention is being paid in the MSM, and thus a large part of society, to the rest of the Mideast recently. Whether that is by design or pure ignorance and arrogance on their part I'll let each decide for themselves but either way it is a dangerous mistake. Because we may be headed for The Great War of the Middle East.

Glenn Beck devoted his program to this last night and while I don't necessairly agree with all his conclusions (a Soros funded conspiracy) there is enough else there to give anyone paying attention to something besides American Idol and Charlie Sheen pause.

Israel has been under a sustained rocket attack from Gaza (as noted below) and Bibi has finally said enough is enough and is vowing a forceful massive retaliation which may start this weekend.

But now that the military has taken control in Egypt and the MB is stirring up their street, it's expected that Egyptians are not going to take kindly to this and call for an intervention by the Egyptian Army, thus ending the Camp David accords. Some reports are that they already have stopped restricitng the flow of supplies into Gaza over their border (remember an arms shipment stopped a few weeks ago?) and that arms and material are already flowing into Gaza to Hamas & Co. since Mubarak fell.

The Egyptian military is no match for Israel, especially in a prolonged conflict. So as Israel steps it up to put down both Hamas and the Egyptian army a "humanitarian crisis" will develop in Gaza (at least that's how the media wll portray it) and the call will go out to the world to protect the innocent Palestinian citizens from the big bad wolf Israel.

Just like is being done in Libya.

Ok, remember the 2,200 marines of the 26th MEU we talked about yesterday? Initially I believed it was just the air combat unit heading to the ME. Apparantly it was more than that. The marines are sitting on ship, off shore in the Med. The thinking is they will be called upon to go into Gaza to protect the Palestinians, alongside of NATO forces, and they were sent there with this in mind, not Libya.

Whether this happens or not the ME is on fire, Bahrain is calling for a day of rage today, Syria has massive problems and has been firing on it's own citizens today. Protests are starting up in Jordan, the Yemeni president and top general may soon be stepping down. Despite their adventuring into Bahrain last week, the Saudis are not strong enough to roll in and put down all these rebellions, especially with troubles of their own. And the U.S. is stretched thin enough right now and cannot be peacekeeper to the world right now. So they have to pick and choose. Libya puts them in position to station troops close enough to Gaza to quickly intervene. And as all these countries go up in flames, oil will skyrocket.

Some of this is conspiracy theory stuff but you can decide that yourself. Enough of the facts are there that none of it is beyond the realm of possibility. And if so, and especially if we come down on the side against Israel, life here is about to change forever.

The links below, and the Beck video, tell the story better than I can.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope John Galt is wrong. I hope Glenn Beck and Alexander Munch and Will are wrong.

But I don't think so.

The ground is about to fall out from under our feet. The Abyss yawns before us.

You better hold fast.
