Russia’s Putin heads to Iran to Placate the Golden Goose!

I retired from the USAF Branch of the National Security Agency at Fort George G. Meade in 1971, and began work on my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” in the early seventies while still a student at the Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am certainly not one of the “Johnnie Come Lately” boys in bringing the Antichrist out of the Middle East Arab World.” I have believed he would come out of Syria or Lebanon from my youth. The following is a quote from my first book, which was published in the mid-seventies, more than thirty years ago.
Begin Quote
“Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are ten Arab nations who will soon form the nucleus of the seventh kingdom, and the ten crowns are the kings who will rule then. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as a scrawny little fellow on a camel in the desert with a rather comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing.
Oil is slowly replacing the dollar in international importance, and soon Arab nations will have gained economic control of much of the earth’s wealth. We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – And the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Red China.
The world power block will block itself while the Arab nations prosper in their midst.”
End Quote
I watched the above scenario begin in the late sixties while still in the NSA, and knew it would continue until the ten Arab nations attacked Israel,
which would be followed some three and one-half years later by China, and what was then the Soviet Union, coming down to join the Antichrist at the final battle of Armageddon.
I wrote my second book, “Tribulation Triad,” through encouragement by Dr. J.B. Powers, to whom I dedicated my third book, “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” which was published in the early eighties.
Sure enough, the Golden Goose Middle East Arab countries have been protected from a take-over of their Golden Egg resources by the United States, Russia, and China not daring to take over the Golden Egg laying resources.
They feared what the other two would do, if one attempted to do so. But Russia has indeed been on a Golden Egg Easter hunt since the Soviet Union economy went to ground zero as the Union splintered into many countries. Russia rushed into the Middle East to offer all sorts of high tech military weapons, scientists, and builders to get the golden eggs, which they desperately needed to build up a non-existent Russian economy – and Iraq and Iran made it happen. North Korea and China did the same, but not on the same grand scale as Russia.
There are several reasons that Putin, as indicated in the article which follows from the DEBKAfiles, is heading for an October 16 meeting in Iran, but the main reason is to exercise damage control on the complete failure of the supposedly invincible Russian aircraft & missile detection & destruction system that was pawned off on Iran and Syria for a large number of golden oil revenue eggs. He wants more golden eggs from the Arab oil producing revenues.
The very strong ties between Russia, China, and North Korean with the fanatical factions of the Islamic nations of the Middle East world, will be made very plain at the final battle of Armageddon, when they all come down to get a piece of the possum oil pie.

Putin Turns His Face to Tehran, His Back to Bush and Sarkozy
September 23, 2007, 2:32 PM (GMT+02:00)
Iran’s suspect nuclear program is further polarizing the big powers.
As American and European officials discussed a third round of UN Security Council sanctions, Iran’s president M ahmoud Ahm
adinejad, more pugnacious than ever, addressed a military parade Sat. Sept. 22 marking the 27th anniversary of the onset of the Iraq-Iran war of the eighties.
“Those (countries) who assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran’s fast drive towards progress are mistaken.”
“The Iranian nation is ready to bring any oppressive power to its knees,” read a slogan from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, inscribed on a massive board on a truck as a new, improved long-range, 1,800-km range surface missile trundled by.
Other slogans called for “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Western military attaches, apparently warned in advance, boycotted the rally for the second year running.
But there is no escape: These are the messages Ahmadinejad takes with him this week to the UN General Assembly and Columbia University in New York.
The French president Nicolas Sarkozy meanwhile stands shoulder to shoulder with President George W.
Bush. Friday, Sept. 21, he said: “Iran is trying to obtain an atomic bomb.
That is unacceptable and I tell the French people it is unacceptable.”
A week ago, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner warned that the world faced war if diplomacy and sanctions failed to curb Iran’s nuclear activities.
But Vladimir Putin pulled in the opposite direction from his two fellows in the UN Security Council when he decided to be the first Russian president to visit Tehran on Oct. 16. The visit, in the framework of the Caspian Asian Summit, is planned to encompass much more than state ceremonial and ritual photo-ops, although there will be plenty of that too.
The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO), Reza Aghazadeh, said a document would be signed setting the timeline for Russia to complete the long-delayed Bushehr nuclear plant and deliver the fuel to activate it.
Last week, at the general conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iranian and Russian teams began formulating the document to be signed by their heads of state. Reporting this, Aghazadeh also described a most useful conversation he had with the head of Russian’s Federal Atomic Energy Agency, Sergei Kiriyenko.
In its long dispute with Moscow, Tehran claims Russia had contracted to commission the Bushehr plant in 2000. This was later amended and under the fifth agreement negotiated between Tehran and Moscow, Russia undertook to deliver 90 tons of fuel by March 2007 and commission Bushehr nuclear plant by September 2007.
According to DEBKAfile’s sources in Moscow and Washington, the Russian president had four goals in sight when he decided to settle his dispute with the Islamic Republic and join the rulers of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan at the Caspian Sea Summit in Tehran:
1. He will be on hand to underscore Moscow’s concern and conviction that the last two or three months of 2007 will take the controversy over the Iranian nuclear program to crisis point and could determine whether or not America resorts to the military option.
The Russians have marked this period as crunch time for the international community. The UN and its Security Council will have to decide then between two options: endorse the IAEA chief Mohammed ElBaradei’s deal with Tehran, under which Iran promises to open up secret compartments of its program to international inspection, or else support the tougher economic sanctions advocated by the United States.
Our Washington sources report that administration heads accuse ElBaradei of practicing deceit and underhand machinations for the sake of giving Iran more time for large-scale uranium enrichment up to weapons grade, safe from the threat of a third round of sanctions until after President Bush departs the White House in Jan. 2009.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made no bones about the low esteem in which the chief nuclear inspector is held by the administration when she said Sept 19: “Diplomacy is best left to diplomats, not a technical body such as the International Atomic Energy Agency.”
This view is fully endorsed by Israel.
2. The Russian and Iranian presidents will publicly sign a new nuclear accord, attended by international television and media hype. This is a ploy to reposition Russia in Arab and Muslim eyes. Putin wants to demonstrate that Moscow has no objection to supplying a Muslim nation with a nuclear reactor, technology and fuel, in contrast to Washington, which is willing to go as far as military action to thwart such acquisitions.
3. The Russians are uneasy about the new Washington-Paris alliance. They were alarmed by the outspoken rhetoric coming from Sarkozy and Kouchner slamming Iran and aligning with the US – up to and including military conflict.
Putin sees the French president moving into position as Bush’s leading foreign partner in place of Britain’s Tony Blair as a portent of a potential American-European fence to block off Moscow’s influence in Europe. He links this potential with Washington’s plan to set up missile bases in Poland and the Czech Republic and perceives a strong line forming on the map of Europe that threatens to reverse his diplomatic gains on the continent and circumscribe his drive for the control of its supplies of energy.
These issues were undoubtedly thrashed out when the French foreign minister met his Russian opposite number Sergey Lavrov in Moscow last week.
4. Sitting together at the head of the table at the Caspian Sea Summit next month, Putin and Ahmadinejad will be broadcasting a message to Washington and the nations of Central Asia that the future and security of Caspian and Central Asian natural resources and oil do not depend entirely on their relations Washington, or even the US military bases going up on their soil. Russia will be posing a stiff challenge to America in Central Asia by holding out the offer of joint-strategic sponsorship with Iran.
