Note: Nazi junior George W. BushFRAUD will be charged with child sex trafficking reference his involvement with a homosexual satanic cult that was operating in Brownsville, Texas in the 1980s.

Nazi junior BushFRAUD will also be indicted by a Tennessee Federal Grand Jury for criminal conspiracy and HIGH TREASON involving the 9/11 Black Op attack against the United States and criminal conspiracy to conduct massive electoral fraud aka the hacking of the year 2000 U.S. Presidential Election directed from the Texas Governor’s mansion at 7:58 p.m. CST election night 2000.

The two Clintons, along with both of the Podesta brothers, are now tied to not only child sex trafficking but massive HIGH TREASON involving the sell of U.S. property to a foreign government, including direct collusion with a foreign sovereign aka the satanist pedophile British Monarchy.

The Federal Grand Jury in Tennessee have also issued warrants for the arrest of former CIA Director Nazi John Brennan, former NSA Chief James Clapper, current U.S. Senator Robert Corker, Republican of Tennessee, as well as current alleged Special Counsel former BushFRAUD and ObamaFRAUD FBI Director Nazi German spy Robert Mueller.

President Trump to Make HUGE Announcement Wednesday at the WH

PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS FROM HISTORICAL ASIA TRIP WITH A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE WHITE HOUSE




Tuesday Nov 14 2017
David Martosko 
US Political Editor for Dailymail.com
Manila, Philippines

Trump says he'll make 'major' announcement Wednesday following Asia diplomacy tour and brags about red carpets during trip 'like nobody, I think, has probably ever received!'

• Trump's 12-day Asia tour is almost over and the president promises a 'major' announcement Wednesday about the trip's results
• Statement will include trade, the status of tensions with North Korea, and 'a lot of other things,' he said
• He boasted Monday in the Philippines that he's seen red-carpets unrolled in his honor 'like nobody, I think, has probably ever received'
• Trump told bleary-eyed reporters who came on his marathon trip that he would want until Wednesday to make his announcement, to 'give you a chance to sleep' 

Donald Trump said Monday in the Philippines that he will make a 'major' announcement on Wednesday at the White House about trade agreements and other diplomatic progress made during a 'fruitful' 12-day tour of Asia.

The president didn't offer any specifics but said there had been 'some very big steps with respect to trade, far bigger than anything you know.' He cited 'about $300 billion in sales' to nations including China.

'It will be a very complete statement as to trade, as to North Korea, as to a lot of other things,' Trump promised.

Trump also gushed about how his Asian hosts have welcomed him as one of their own, touting his red-carpet receptions as unprecedented.

 

 President Donald Trump, accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, left, and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, right, told reporters Monday in Manila, Philippines that he will make a 'major' announcement Wednesday about the results of his Asia trip

Trump's day in Manila began with a tradition opening the Association of South East Asian Nations summit – a cross-armed group handshake that the president had a little trouble mastering

After His 12 Day Asia Trip

 'The way they've treated us – the respect that Japan and China and South Korea in particular, because we went there – have treated us has been really a great respect for the people of our country, the people of the United States,' he said. 'And we very much appreciate it, I will say that.'

'It was red carpet like nobody, I think, has probably ever received. And that really is a sign of respect – perhaps for me a little bit, but really for our country. And I'm very proud of that.'

The president spoke to reporters along with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe after the three men sat down for a trilateral meeting.

'A lot of things are happening on trade and I'll be announcing pretty much what happened here and also with other meetings, including with China, South Korea and lots of other places,' Trump said.

He complained that the U.S. has '[trade] deficits with almost everybody. Those deficits are going to be cut very quickly and very substantially.'

Trump had his three-way meeting with his Japanese and Australian counterparts in advance of a more controversial bilateral sit-down with Filipino strongman Rodrigo Duterte, who is hosting the annual ASEAN meeting

The president also joked that he would schedule Wednesday's announcement so bleary-eyed reporters would have a chance to rest when the marathon diplomacy tour is over.

'We'll probably do that on Wednesday. We'll give you a chance to sleep,' he told journalists.

'Because – the press, I have to tell you, I'm very impressed. You stayed with us. You were able to hang in there,' he said. 'I'm very proud of you.'

Trump and other world leaders are in the Philippine capital of Manila to attend an Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit.

As with previous stops in Japan, South Korea, China and Vietnam, Trump has made a point in Manila of underscoring his 'America first' trade agenda.

When he ran for president, Trump was openly hostile to the idea of multilateral trade deals like the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he withdrew America from after taking office.

Trump wore a traditional Filipino 'Barong Tagalog' to Sunday night's gala held in honor of heads of state who traveled to Manila for the ASEAN summit

Trump Meets Rodrigo Duterte

On Friday, officials from the other 11 TPP countries announced the completion of a trade pact that excluded the U.S.

They include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

The White House has added a dinner with Turnbull to Trump's Monday schedule.

His relationship with the Australian leader began on a frosty note with a tense phone call about an Obama-era pledge that the U.S. would accept thousands of Aussie refugees.

A huffed Trump hung up the phone on Turnbull, according to a transcript of the call that was later leaked to reporters.

In May at the White House, Trump kept him waiting for nearly three hours while he held an impromptu Rose Garden photo-op with congressional Republicans, who had just passed a House bill repealing the Obamacare medical insurance law.

"He's dead. He didn't make it," Flint said. "For his family and everything, I feel bad, and we'll be there for them."
The roommates lived near the gunman, and Flint said that their neighbor had been shooting a lot of rounds recently.
"The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines," Flint said. "This guy has been crazy, and he's been threatening us and everything. I just feel like there maybe should have been more effort put into stopping things like this."
No additional details have been released.
KCRA has a crew on the way to the scene.

Prophetic dream reveals Donald Trump leading the world during rise of antichrist

Minister Paul, a YouTube broadcaster based in northern California, shares a series of prophetic dreams in which God revealed the shocking role President Trump will play in these last days. I’ve only watched a few of Minister Paul’s videos, but so far the ones I’ve seen have confirmed what God has shown me.

Minister Paul has a great track record with accurate prophecies regarding U.S. presidents and elections. In 2011, the Holy Spirit gave him a vision of Obama and asked, “Do you see this man, Obama? He will win and that will be the beginning of the end.”

It proved to be accurate as Obama won the 2012 election, but was it the beginning of the end? Few people today are aware of it, but thousands of years ago the Mayan Indians and other ancient civilizations in China, Central America and South America identified a specific date which pointed to December 21, 2012 as the end of the age and beginning of a new age. 

The news media misrepresented the ancient prophecies, calling it the end of the world, but the ancients saw it as the start of a new age marked by the release of the great feathered serpent, the one identified in the Bible as the dragon, satan. The Mayans called him Kukulkan. To the Aztecs he was Quetzalcoatl, but the meaning is the same - feathered serpent. (Source: Wikipedia)

In the past few centuries, many well-known Christian leaders claimed 2012 would mark the beginning of the end, the start of the rise to power for both the antichrist and false prophet, including Evangelists Jonathan Edwards, William Reid, and Rene Thibaut. (Source: theopenscroll.blogspot.com)

Still today, the illuminati believe something significant began in 2012, which is why it’s hidden in the Great Seal of the United States of America which appears on the back of every U.S. one dollar bill, displaying the Latin phrase, Novus Ordo Seclorum, which means “New order of the ages”. Like the ancient civilizations, the illuminati believe a new world order started rising in 2012. They’ve hidden their plans in plain view with the layers of the pyramid symbol revealing 2012 as their start date.

So, Minister Paul’s 2012 prophecy was fulfilled by Obama’s election victory and the beginning of the end was confirmed by many other prophecies. 

In addition, Minister Paul received other prophetic dreams regarding U.S Presidents and elections, also accurately fulfilled, including the outcome of the 2016 election which he saw about six months before it happened. 

On April 26 2016, God showed him Hillary Clinton would be hit with infirmity. The fulfillment was shown in her public appearances, like the coughing fit she had while speaking at a campaign event in New York. When Minister Paul received this word, all the polls showed Hillary Clinton winning the election, but he prophesied “Her health will begin to be hit harder and harder because God will not allow her to become President. Her lies will be exposed. If there is an election, she won’t win it.” (Source: YouTube.com)

His prophecy was fulfilled when Hillary Clinton lost the election, lost her health, and just recently lost her cover as her lies were publicly exposed by former interim chairperson for the DNC, Donna Brazile.  What a wonderful turn of events after decades of horrible crimes committed by both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Also in 2016, Minister Paul also accurately saw Donald Trump winning the 2016 election in a prophetic dream where President Trump was standing at a podium as gold coins fell from the ceiling, representing the rebound in the stock market that has continued for one year since his election.

Five years ago, about three months prior to the 2012 presidential election, on August 9, 2012, Minister Paul received a dream revealing Donald Trump in a position as world leader. Minister Paul clearly stated he does not believe Donald Trump is the antichrist and he was not shown that in the dream. If he was claiming that, I would not be sharing his video because I know Trump is not the antichrist and have yet to hear of anyone who believes he is.

Here is how Minister Paul described his dream:

In this dream, I’m sitting in my family room and a man comes on the TV.  I could see his silhouette and he had a darkness about him, but he also radiated this false sense of peace. You got to understand, he was very believable.  He was convincing, he spoke very softly, and yet professionally.  He was well trained, and he was very knowledgeable and very cunning.

He began to talk about, this just kind of broke in, it was like a breaking news alert. They were announcing him as a world leader. They were declaring that governments had failed and they mentioned several countries. The United States was one of them, and he described what he meant by saying they failed. Crime was at an unprecedented proportion. Their debt had risen too much. There were not enough jobs and there was no foreseeable way out of the debt. He talked about the financial burden, the rising debt, the wars, the cost of the wars, the violence, the revolution.  There was a revolution taking place around the world, literally widespread revolutions as the citizens were rebelling against their government. It was occurring here in the United States, too. Martial law wasn’t working and it was too expensive and it was just taking us deeper into debt.

He had this vision and this plan for world peace, not just peace for the United States or peace for Europe or peace for the Middle East or peace for Israel, but a world peace. And he explained it so clearly that I’m here to tell you that I’m going to leave this as an “In Case You Get Left Behind Video.” That’s how convincing this was in my dream. He made it make so much sense, saying “We’re to be united. We’re to love one another.”

He talked as if he was reading from the Bible almost, asking, “Aren’t we supposed to love one another? If we love one another, why are we not paying each other back? Aren’t we supposed to pay our debts? If we love one another, why are we at war with each other? Aren’t we supposed to help each other and not hurt each other?”

He/Trump had a solution and he said, “What the world needs is a total overhaul, not at the city level, not at the county level, not even at the federal level, but at the world level.”

And they’ve been planning this for years and they finally came up with the solution and the main thing was that it was going to take the world’s trust.  So, he had this like ten-point plan; how to fix the world’s finances. That includes the United States. Just put yourself in whatever country you’re in. The finances, the violence, the wars, the diseases would all stop if we came together as one, the famine. In other words, if a country has too much and another country has too little, we could just share it like we’re supposed to in the Bible and no one should have to starve. We shouldn’t be shooting expensive bombs at each other. We should be shaking each other’s hands in love.

So, he/Trump was giving a grace period on these rules and there was a database. He mentioned not to worry because what he was going to do, he was going to introduce new world rules, world laws, and world currency. And he was so understanding. He was like, “I know it’s a lot to take in all at once. We’re going to give you a grace period and we’re going to help you through this and it’s for the best and it’s the only solution. The only other solution is we all just kill each other off.”

The person giving the speech and introduced as a world leader was not Obama. That was not his voice or presence. It was Donald Trump. At the time, I didn’t really know anything about him, but God did.

Some of the things Minister Paul saw in the dream were fulfilled in the speech President Trump made in South Korea two days ago on November 7 2017. He was introduced to the audience with this, “Now, let me introduce you to the leader of the world, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.”

 President Donald Trump 

Speech in South Korea

 
That title, “leader of the world”, not just leader of the free world, along with the content of the speech, caught Minister Paul’s attention because it was what he saw in the dream. He explained,

“When President Trump began this speech (in South Korea) that I watched, I couldn’t help but notice I had already seen most of this speech in the dream. I could literally tell you what he was going to say before he said it. This speech was being given and it was during the rise of the antichrist. The prophetic dream came so alive when I heard Trump give that speech.

Many of the things I saw happening in the dream have already started, but there will be further speeches as tribulation starts and wars break out. The worst part of it hasn’t happened yet. It’s going to happen in the tribulation. And Barack Obama and Pope Francis are going to be involved. There will be more speeches. There will be speeches from Obama and this man.”

My Comments:

How could Minister Paul see Donald Trump five years ago in a position of world leader unless God revealed it to him? I believe his dream is from God. The accuracy of his track record also supports that. His introduction to the audience in South Korea as the world leader also confirms it.

I believe this dream is an important warning to the Church because many Christians have embraced President Trump and are in danger of following him anywhere. 

Like many others, I also believe President Trump’s election was a supernatural blessing from God because if Hillary Clinton had won, we might already be in the midst of world war three (and in the extermination camps/FEMA). 

As Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj explained, God gave us more time so we could get our houses in order, which means preparing spiritually by learning to be led by the Spirit of God, but also financially, preparing for the coming financial trouble by getting out of debt. So, I thank God for giving us this reprieve from the severe shakings ahead, even though lesser shakings have already started, as evidenced by the recent solar eclipse crossing over our nation and the two hurricanes hitting Texas and Florida.

I thank God for the great things He has done and will do through President Trump, but I believe all the credit belongs to God and not to any man. Just because God made a way for Trump to take office and has so far sustained him against many enemies, we should not misread that as an endorsement of everything he does. 
God also allowed Obama two terms as President, but that does not mean He wants us to support Obama. 

God will allow the antichrist to rule over the global government for 42 months, but that does not mean He wants us to follow the antichrist. (Revelation 13:5)

God does not want us to be deceived, but the only way to avoid deception is by keeping our eyes focused on God, not blindly following any man. We must keep our minds filled with His word and our hearts filled with His Spirit, not relying on any man to lead us. Only those who are led by the Spirit of God are truly sons and daughters of God. (Romans 8:14)

The speech Minister Paul heard in his dream was as evil as anything I’ve ever heard because Trump was using the Bible to persuade people to put their trust in the spirit of antichrist. This is the cunning nature of the serpent, presenting himself as an angel of light. All those wonderful benefits of unity, peace, and equality only work under the rule of God, in submission to His commandments, walking uprightly before Him, keeping Him at the center of our lives. Anyone offering those benefits without mentioning any requirements to obey God is a deceiver, a liar, and a servant of satan, even if they call themselves a Christian. It is heartbreaking to hear that kind of deception coming upon the world because I believe many Christians would fall for it without even questioning it, many even thinking it is the will of God.

If Minister Paul had watched the speech relying only on his physical eyes, he would surely have been deceived too, but he watched it with his spiritual eyes which revealed Donald Trump “had a darkness about him” and “radiated a false sense of peace.” This refers to spiritual darkness, not physical darkness. The source of all spiritual darkness and falseness is satan, the prince of darkness and the father of lies. Only by relying on the inner witness of the Holy Spirit will we be able to accurately see what is happening. Anyone who is not relying completely on the Lord will be in great danger of being swept away by the great deception.

Minister Paul’s dream confirms what I have seen in several dreams, a time of great trouble coming, including economic collapse, the collapse of major world currencies, civil war, civil unrest, famines, and war. I believe we have been granted a reprieve from the most severe judgments, but the smaller shakings have already started and will continue with increasing severity. 

Although I was not shown any dates, I agree with Minister Paul’s dream because I believe many of these things will happen over the next seven years, the period between the two eclipses, which would conclude in 2024, which would be the final year of Trump’s second term.

Minister Paul discerned the speech was given during the time when the antichrist was rising, which is a sad statement for President Trump personally because it means not only will he be deceived, but he will be used mightily by satan to deceive the whole world and prepare the way for the antichrist. It might be hard for some people to believe this could happen because he has surrounded himself with many Christians and some have claimed he has become a believer. Only God knows his heart, but satan often works through Christians, so it would not be the first time.

It might be harder for me to believe satan could use Donald Trump like this if I had not heard his speech in Saudi Arabia in May at the Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology. It was like watching an apocalyptic horror movie, but it was real and it was led by Donald Trump. Like the speech Minister Paul heard in his dream, the Saudi Arabia speech was filled with spiritual darkness and lies. 

 Trump's Entire Speech

to the Arab World

I am planning to share a separate post with more details about that event for the sake of alerting everyone to the danger of blindly following Trump.

We are truly living in the last days, the time when the antichrist is arising. Great shakings are coming - the birth pangs leading up to the tribulation and great tribulation. These shakings will cause many people to turn to God and many sleeping Christians to awaken. The same shakings will also cause the world to put their trust in godless solutions. So, the light will get lighter and the darkness will get darker, resulting in a great separation as the contrast between the two becomes much clearer.

I believe these are the days the prophet Isaiah saw, days of deep darkness covering the nations, but at the same time he saw the light of God arising on His people and His glory appearing on them in tangible ways that even the heathen could see, causing them to be drawn to our light. (Isaiah 60:1-5)

two Navy SEALs murdered Green Beret

REPORT CLAIMS TWO NAVY SEALS MURDERED GREEN BERET IN AFRICA AFTER HE UNCOVERED EMBEZZLEMENT SCHEME

Chris Enloe
Nov 13 2017

 

Two Navy SEALS from the elite SEAL Team Six are being investigated for allegedly murdering an Army Green Beret in Mali last June after he discovered an illegal money operation allegedly being run by the special operators, according to The Daily Beast.

What happened?

The New York Times first reported last month that two SEALs were under investigation for allegedly killing Army Staff Sgt. Logan J. Melgar at the American embassy in Bamako, Mali.

Medical examiners ruled Melgar’s death a homicide and said he died from asphyxiation.

The jurisdiction for the investigation was transferred from Army investigators to the Navy in September, indicating the two SEALs had become the center of the investigation.

What about an illegal money scheme?

The Daily Beast reported over the weekend, citing five sources in the special ops community, that the SEALs under investigation had been pocketing money meant to fund an informant program.

Melgar then discovered the illicit money scheme, the SEALs reportedly offered to cut him in, but he refused, the Daily Beast reported.

Then on June 4, an altercation broke out and Melgar ended up dead. The two SEALs and another Green Beret soldier allegedly took Melgar to the hospital, but it was too late, the report said.

According to The Daily Beast, the SEALs claimed Melgar was drunk when they were practicing “combatives,” or hand-to-hand combat. However, the Daily Beast reported Melgar didn’t have alcohol in his system, causing more doubt to surround the SEALs’ version of events.

Were there any warning signs?

Melgar reportedly told his wife that he had “a bad feeling about two of his partners,” the Daily Beast reported. That was shortly before he died.

However, not much more is known as military investigators are keeping the investigation under wraps. So far, military officials have only confirmed the investigation is ongoing.

No one has yet been charged in the death. However, the two SEALs at the center of the investigation were quickly flown out of Mali following the incident and have been placed on administrative leave, according to The Daily Beast.

If North Korea bombs .....

Drums of Big War Heard in Middle East

DRUMS OF BIG WAR HEARD IN MIDDLE EAST

PETER KORZUN | WORLD 13.11.2017 

Drums of Big War Heard in Middle East

Summing up the recent events in the Middle East leads to the conclusion that the threat of a Saudi-Iranian war is looking increasingly credible as tensions rise in the Middle East. There are visible signs that the region is heading into an out and out conflict, waged simultaneously in different places and involving many actors.

Fears of an imminent conflict in Lebanon rose on Nov.9 as Gulf Arab states followed Saudi Arabia's lead in calling on their citizens to immediately exit Lebanon, whose former prime minister had resigned, citing an assassination plot against him as the reason. He blamed Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah for sowing strife, destruction and ruin wherever it went in the Arab world. Having flown to Saudi Arabia, he accused Tehran of being driven by a “deep hatred for the Arab nation.”

The resignation not only brought down the coalition government and plunged Lebanon into a new political crisis but also thrust the country into the frontline of regional competition between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi‘ite Iran. The minister is a Sunni in Lebanon’s sectarian system and his stepping down risks exacerbating sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shi‘ite Muslims.

Tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran escalated with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz blaming Tehran over the ballistic missile fired at Riyadh by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Saudi air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired Novem­ber 4 from the ar­eas under rebels’ control. The missile was de­stroyed near King Khalid international airport on Riyadh’s northern outskirts. Supplying rebels in Yemen with missiles was a "direct military aggression by the Iranian regime," the prince said on Nov.7. The Saudis say that retaliation will follow, while the Houthis threatened to continue attacks against Saudi Arabia and the Unit­ed Arab Emirates, its closest ally.

There have been reports about Saudi Arabia and Israel working together against Iran, including diplomatic cooperation and intelligence sharing among other things. Israeli media recently reported that a senior Saudi prince, possibly Bin Salman himself, paid a secret visit to that country. Israel is worried about the situation in the Golan Heights and Gaza Strip with pro-Iranian forces to blame for rising tensions. Israel has just conducted its biggest-ever aerial military drill, just a month after its largest-ever land military exercise - both simulating war with pro-Iranian Hezbollah.

Commenting on the drone from Syria that was shot down over the Golan on Nov.11, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel takes an extremely grave view of violations of its sovereignty and will counter “all provocations with a powerful response.”

Bahrain said an explosion which caused a fire at its main oil pipeline on Nov.10 was caused by “terrorist” sabotage, linking the unprecedented attack to its arch-foe Iran. “Terrorist acts witnessed by the country in the recent period are carried out through direct contacts and instructions from Iran,” the statement quoted Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah al-Khalifa as saying.

On Nov.8, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit stressed that Iranian interventions in the affairs of Arab countries reflect its desire to create tension and unrest in order to exercise hegemony over other nations. He added that Iranian intervention in Arab countries is unacceptable. Aboul-Gheit also stated that Arab nations should demonstrate solidarity with Saudi Arabia in facing the serious security threats it is facing.

The same day, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi threw his support behind Egypt’s Gulf ally Saudi Arabia amid the kingdom’s mounting tensions with Iran. According to him, Iran must stop “meddling” in the Middle East and the security of Arab Gulf countries must not be threatened.

In his turn, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says that Riyadh is interfering in Yemen and Lebanon, and its allies, US and Israel, dominate to ‘plunder oil and wealth.’ In preparation for possible hostilities Tehran has conducted a major reshuffle of its military top command.

It’s not so hard to guess whose side will the West be on. Iran has just responded to the call of French President Emmanuel Macron to hold talks on the country's ballistic missile program, firmly rejecting the idea and noting that it is solely defensive in nature. In July, the US imposed additional sanctions on Iran to punish it for ballistic missile tests, which are not covered by the Joint Comprehensive Program of Action (JCPOA). Last month, President Trump President Donald Trump formally decertified the nuclear deal with Iran under US law.

According to Stars and Stripes, several hundred US Marines are building a new base inwestern Iraq, about 20km from the strategic Anbar Province town of Al Qaim, which was captured from Islamic State recently. The US commanders are said to have taken into account possible clashes with pro-Iranian Shiite Iraqi militias, especially the PMU and other forces operating in the area. This was the first time a US military source has openly mentioned a possible hostile encounter between American military and pro-Iranian forces, such as the PMU and Hezbollah. Evidently, the move is part of US plan to prevent the creation of a Syrian-Iraqi corridor from Iran.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia in May, President Trump addressed tens of Arab nations in a speech that identified Iran as the leading state sponsor of terrorism, despite the fact that Iran has never carried out an act of terrorism on American soil. There has also been much discreet shuttle diplomacy in recent months and the Saudi minister for Gulf affairs, Thamer Al Sabhan, is traveling to Washington for talks on the standoff with Iran. Last month the US president’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, went to Saudi Arabia for an unpublicized meeting with the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

President Trump in recent days has posted on Twitter messages of unspecified support for Saudi Arabia’s rulers, saying they “know exactly what they are doing.”

As a major oil producer, the United States will be happy to take Iranian oil out of the market and replace it with its own exports. US shale operators and land drillers will significantly gain. The United States will soon be able to finance its trading deficit and solidify even more its position as a major oil exporter. Saudi Arabia also wants to keep the price of oil high, preventing Iran’s oil exports. The US Navy can keep the Hormuz Strait open with Iranian ships denied passage.

The very existence of potential threat will hike the price to benefit the US and the kingdom. By and large, the strategy of US administration on Iran converges with the Saudi strategy to counter Iran at any cost everywhere. The recent events demonstrate that convergence is a plan with mechanisms and instruments, distribution of roles, and assignment of responsibilities. That’s why Washington may do little if anything to stop a direct war between the two old adversaries. Is it a coincidence that all of a sudden US officials started to name the Persian Gulf the “Arabian Gulf”?

Even with cannons silent, the oil price is going up. One can expect a big hike in case the shipping in the Hormuz Strait is threatened! About 20 percent of the world's oil supply is exported through the strait. China is a US economic and political rival. Half of its imports originate in the Persian Gulf. By siding with Saudi-led coalition the US achieves a geopolitical goal delivering a crushing blow at China to make it plunge into economic recession with ensuing political and social repercussions.

True, fear has a quick ear but facts are stubborn things. Hariri’s resignation, the missile launched from Yemen, Bahrain’s accusations, and the US military base being built in western Iraq as well as a lot of other things are taking place by and large at the same time. All actors have hidden agendas and explanations for their actions, while the region is rapidly moving to a large-scale war.
