This
is BREAKING NEWS on Saturday, 11 May 2019 at 2:15 PM eastern US
time. The Pentagon has been tasked with formalizing plans
to deploy ". . . over 100,000 U.S. Troops" to the
area of the Persian Gulf.
The
last time the United States made such a deployment was shortly before
Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, during 1991.
This
is a dramatic and dangerous development in world affairs.
WORSE
. . .
For
the past seven days, Russia has been moving their long range
strategic bombers to the far east of Russia, and moreover, has
quadrupled the size of its supply chain to arm, maintain, repair and
launch those planes.
For
the past 72 hours, Russia strategic bombers have repeatedly held
exercises simulating attack runs against US bases in Alaska,
presumably with the intent to be able to have their bombers penetrate
the North American Air Defense Zone and hit targets inside the
continental United States.
It
is NOT KNOWN if Russia will move to defend Iran in the event the US
or Israel chooses to attack.
Early
in the week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov ALLEGEDLY
commented to US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo that "Russia
is ready for Armageddon, are you?"
Lavrov
was not kidding.
For
decades, Russia (and its predecessor, the Soviet Union) spent
considerable time and resources building massive bomb shelters for
the bulk of the Russian population.
Just
last year, Russia began upgrading ALL of those shelters with better
electric, lighting, ventilation, water and sewer systems and vast
(really vast) quantities of shelf-stable food supplies.
Russia
also carried out a full scale nuclear attack drill FOR THE CIVILIAN
POPULATION, which saw upwards of forty million (40,000,000) Russian
citizens participate in getting to their nearest shelter, and
learning what to do once there.
That
drill took place openly, and was completely ignored by US and other
western media outlets for fear that Americans might start asking
"What shelters and plans do WE have for nuclear war?"
The answer that authorities would be forced to give is "None."
US:
No Civil Defense -- at all
The
United States no loner has any Civil Defense system or program.
It no longer has or maintains __any__ fallout shelters __anywhere__
for the civilian population.
The
US has ZERO food stored for any such emergency and has no money to
even re-commence the program, because the US Congress is too busy
waging wars around the globe, and buying Minority Votes with free
money handouts through government programs, to get re-elected.
As such, there are presently NO BOMB SHELTERS, NO EMERGENCY FOOD, NO
EMERGENCY WATER and no plans whatsoever to supply any of it in the
event of actual nuclear war.
This
is one reason that many Americans began making their own "Preps"
to do for themselves what government is unable and unwilling to do.
Average Americans are making sure they have 30-60 days of
Emergency food and water. They are storing up medicines they
may need. They are buying filter masks, goggles and even Tyvek
suits to protect themselves in the event of nuclear, biological or
chemical attacks.
The
mass media generally avoids covering such things, except to mock
them.
The
people with MONEY, however, are not being mocked. They have
been spending literally MILLIONS to make preparations for themselves
and their loved ones to have shelter, food, water, medicine and
guards to protect them from the starving masses.
Here
is a small list of Suggested
"PREPS" for
you and your family, in case you finally realize that the US
government is heading into the destruction of our nation, and those
who prepare will be the only one's with even a slight chance of
survival.
Assault Ship, Marines, and Patriot Missile Battery Deployed For "Iran Readiness"
The saber rattling continues as the Pentagon has announced the new deployment of an amphibious assault ship and a Patriot missile battery to the Middle East in response to "Iran threats" which national security adviser John Bolton first revealed a week ago as based on intelligence confirming US troops in the region face potential attack by Iranian forces and their allies.
The USS Arlington is being sent "in response to indications of heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations against US forces and our interests," according to a Pentagon statement. It will join regional CENTCOM deployments in support of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, still en route to the Persian Gulf after traversing the Suez Canal, and a group of B-52 Stratofortress Bombers which landed in Qatar this week.

The Arlington is an amphibious assault ship carrying Marines, amphibious vehicles, conventional landing craft and rotary aircraft.
"The Department of Defense continues to closely monitor the activities of the Iranian regime, their military and proxies," the Pentagon said. "The United States does not seek conflict with Iran, but we are postured and ready to defend US forces and interests in the region," it added.
Iran, for its part, has dismissed the latest deployments and the underlying intelligence Bolton touted last Sunday as requiring a response as "fake intelligence" and part of a US “psychological warfare” campaign - further noting the carrier strike group's embarkation was pre-scheduled and merely used as a pretext for escalating threats.
At least one senior Iranian cleric also recently warned that should the US send a carrier through the key narrow oil shipping Persian Gulf choke point which is routinely patrolled by IRGC boats, the US Navy's"Billion-dollar fleet can be destroyed with one missile" according to statements carried by Iran's ISNA News Agency.

However, Trump in a surprise overture said Thursday to reporters at the White House that he is open to talks with Tehran's leadership: "What I would like to see with Iran, I would like to see them call me," he said on camera.
"We don't want them to have nuclear weapons — not much to ask," he added.
Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to the statement on Friday, rejecting any possibility of talks while a military threat looms.
“No talks will be held with the Americans and the Americans will not dare take military action against us,” Yadollah Javani, the Guards’ deputy head for political affairs, said according to Tasnim. “Our nation... sees America as unreliable.”
