I don’t Fully Agree with Kaniuk,
But article points out part of Problem,
And Petroleum control does make it Clear,
Man’s Love of Money Is Still the Root of All Evil!
There is no question Islamism Jihad hates the Jews!
There’s no question Islam’s goal is to change the World!
There’s no question Islam wants International Sharia Law!
But there’s no question nations desire to own the planet’s Oil!
International Love of Mammon Is the Underlying Cause of Wars!
The love of money sends woe to both the believer and
Unbeliever!

When I made my first extended trip to the Middle East
in 1952, more than 56 years ago, it was quite evident the foreign powers, which had controlled Middle East oil since the industrial revolution began, were in the process of believing they could still control the Islamic nations after they pulled out. They greatly underestimated the power that oil would give the Middle East countries. It is the underlying cause for a process we are now observing that is bringing the Islamic Kingdom back to life as the eighth and final Kingdom of the Gentile age. In the first book I had published in the mid-seventies, “Tectonic Chaos,” after identifying the ten horns of Revelation 13:1 as Arabic nations, I wrote the following paragraph.
Begin Quote
“[The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are 10 Arab nations who will soon form the nucleus of the seventh kingdom, and the ten crowns are the kings that will rule them. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as scrawny little fellow on a camel in the desert with a comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing. Oil is replacing the dollar in importance – and soon ten Arab nations will have gained the 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 as the ten Arab nations prosper in their midst.]”
End Quote
Well, after more than 56 years it has come to pass and, in addition to the intense hatred that has raised to an all time against the Jews by the incitement of radical Islamic extremists, we have man’s natural greed incited and excited at the prospect of monetary gain associated with the control of the world’s major oil source in the Middle East.
Mammon, ethnic hatred, and false religion are the three major driving forces that have been associated with wars since the fall of man.
The love of money underlies it all to this day, and it remain like this until the one returns who is the only man who ever lived that thought more of the welfare of all others, past, present, and future, than he did of himself.
Philippians 2:4 – Look not every man on his own things, but every man also
on the things of others.
I Timothy 6:7-10 – For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. [9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Mark 8:36,37 – For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul

What Iran really wants
Iranians care about Persian Gulf much more than they care about Israel
Yoram Kaniuk
July 9, 2008
I am not a former military commander, but just like any other person who ever learned how to read I know that the entire story about Iran and a possible strike is foolish. Iran is not like Shaul Mofaz. It acts wisely when it comes to its future. It’s not really interested in Israel, although it likes to annoy us.
Tehran knows that an Israeli strike on Iran is impractical if Israel wishes to continue existing, and that a nuclear attack on Israel would prompt Iran’s destruction. Tehran also knows that the Israelis are the only ones who will strike if there is no choice and it knows how to make us bleed without nuclear weapons.
Iran has surrounded us with zealous, stubborn terrorism and it knows that no nuclear weapons will help us in our fight against terror. Tehran wishes to annoy and threaten us beca
use the countries it really wants to take over love its hate for Israel.
What Iran really wants is the Persian Gulf, which the Arabs refer to as the Arab Gulf. Iran emerged out of a great empire. Today, it wants to regain its place as the successor of this empire and of the Muslim empire. It united the two and ultimately it wants to take over Gulf states and Syria, and use Lebanon as a large seaport for oil.
As opposed to us, Iran realizes that if it controls oil, America in its current state will not attack it, but rather, opt to cut a deal with it, because the entire American fabric of life is based on oil. Because of oil there are towns and suburbs; because of oil, there is an America.
After all, America isn’t New York – America is Maryland and California and Kansas. And there, life is not worth living without oil.
The Iranians are an ancient people with a long history. They do not wish to become extinct. What they do want is the billion dollars a day earned by Saudi Arabia. The Iranians want ancient Islam and they are going for the jackpot with the common sense that is lacking among our Mofazes, our politicians, and our arrogant military officers.
Iran winning this chess game
Once upon a time we used to be smart. We would have not been able to establish a state under the conditions we did had every general at the time been making empty threats. Talkative generals and small-time politicians are playing into Iran’s hands these days; meanwhile, the Iranians are cheering on every belligerent Israeli statement, which serves to boost the price of oil, while they continue to hit us on our home front. Their Nasrallah has been well equipped and he knows how to fool us. He understands our weaknesses.
Yet we fail to understand Nasrallah. Hamas is also playing with us.
Iran is the mother and father of both these organizations.
It does not need to put its cities at risk in order to irritate us. For Iran we are merely a pawn in the chess game they invented.
In this chess game they are making fools out of us and defeating the Arabs, who are nonetheless cheering on them, until they will no longer be able to do so. And then, just like in past days, Persia will rule the East, and the small Israel will contend with cruel terrorism and won’t know what to do aside from making stupid declarations.
There are certainly proper ways to hinder this process or prevent part of it from materializing. Arrogant words will not be solving the problem. Iran’s manager, its stupid president who constantly threatens us, is merely the front for its true rulers, the wise ones. Most of them do not live in Tehran, but rather, in Qom, the capital
of Iranian Islam.
