There are so many news stories and pieces of analysis this week it was impossible to keep up - keep up posting them all and keep up one's hope and heart. Below is a sample of upsetting and distressing (or is it stressing) news items as it seems we hurtle to world war.

On the other hand I do see signs of more cooperation

CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022<1>
Sept 28, 2006
CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022
Nuclear specialists and governmental sources pointed out that one of its main missions would be to implement the 2001 nuclear strategy that includes an option of preemptive nuclear attacks on 'rogue states' with WMDs. (Japanese Economic Newswire, 30 December 2005)
CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022
JFCCSGS is in an advanced state of readiness to trigger nuclear attacks directed against Iran or North Korea.The operational implementation of the Global Strike is called CONCEPT PLAN (CONPLAN) 8022. The latter is described as "an actual plan that the Navy and the Air Force translate into strike package for their submarines and bombers,' (Ibid).

CONPLAN 8022 is 'the overall umbrella plan for sort of the pre-planned strategic scenarios involving nuclear weapons.'
'It's specifically focused on these new types of threats -- Iran, North Korea -- proliferators and potentially terrorists too,' he said. 'There's nothing that says that they can't use CONPLAN 8022 in limited scenarios against Russian and Chinese targets.'(According to Hans Kristensen, of the Nuclear Information Project, quoted in Japanese economic News Wire, op cit)
The mission of JFCCSGS is to implement CONPLAN 8022, in other words to trigger a nuclear war with Iran.The Commander in Chief, namely George W. Bush would instruct the Secretary of Defense, who would then instruct the Joint Chiefs of staff to activate CONPLAN 8022.
CONPLAN is distinct from other military operations. it does not contemplate the deployment of ground troops.
CONPLAN 8022 is different from other war plans in that it posits a small-scale operation and no "boots on the ground." The typical war plan encompasses an amalgam of forces -- air, ground, sea -- and takes into account the logistics and political dimensions needed to sustain those forces in protracted operations.... The global strike plan is offensive, triggered by the perception of an imminent threat and carried out by presidential order.) (William Arkin, Washington Post, May 2005)
The Role of Israel
Since late 2004, Israel has been stockpiling US made conventional and nuclear weapons systems in anticipation of an attack on Iran. This stockpiling which is financed by US military aid was largely completed in June 2005. Israel has taken delivery from the US of several thousand "smart air launched weapons" including some 500 'bunker-buster bombs, which can also be used to deliver tactical nuclear bombs.
The B61-11 is the "nuclear version" of the "conventional" BLU 113, can be delivered in much same way as the conventional bunker buster bomb. (See Michel Chossudovsky, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO112C.html

Moreover, reported in late 2003, Israeli Dolphin-class submarines equipped with US Harpoon missiles armed with nuclear warheads are now aimed at Iran. (See Gordon Thomas, http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/THO311A.html

Late April 2005. Sale of deadly military hardware to Israel. GBU-28 Buster Bunker Bombs:Coinciding with Putin's visit to Israel, the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (Department of Defense) announced the sale of an additional 100 bunker-buster bombs produced by Lockheed Martin to Israel. This decision was viewed by the US media as "a warning to Iran about its nuclear ambitions."The sale pertains to the larger and more sophisticated "Guided Bomb Unit-28 (GBU-28) BLU-113 Penetrator" (including the WGU-36A/B guidance control unit and support equipment). The GBU-28 is described as "a special weapon for penetrating hardened command centers located deep underground. The fact of the matter is that the GBU-28 is among the World's most deadly "conventional" weapons used in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, capable of causing thousands of civilian deaths through massive explosions.
The Israeli Air Force are slated to use the GBU-28s on their F-15 aircraft.

Advanced state of readiness to trigger nuclear attacks directed against Iran or North Korea.
War Signals?
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20061009/lindorff(...) Colonel Gardiner, who has taught military strategy at the National War College, says that the carrier deployment and a scheduled Persian Gulf arrival date of October 21 is "very important evidence" of war planning. He says, "I know that some naval forces have already received 'prepare to deploy orders' [PTDOs], which have set the date for being ready to go as October 1. Given that it would take about from October 2 to October 21 to get those forces to the Gulf region, that looks about like the date" of any possible military action against Iran. (A PTDO means that all crews should be at their stations, and ships and planes should be ready to go, by a certain date--in this case, reportedly, October 1.) Gardiner notes, "You cannot issue a PTDO and then stay ready for very long. It's a very significant order, and it's not done as a training exercise."

The March to War: Iran Preparing for US Air Attacks (September 21, 2006)
http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=N20060921&articleId=3299
Iran is bracing itself for an expected American-led air campaign. The latter is in the advanced stages of military planning. If there were to be war between the United States and Iran, the aerial campaign would unleash fierce combat. It would be fully interactive on multiple fronts. It would be a difficult battle involving active movement in the air from both sides. If war were to occur, the estimates of casualties envisaged by American and British war planners would be high. The expected wave of aerial attacks would resemble the tactics of the Israeli air-war against Lebanon and would follow the same template, but on a larger scale of execution. The U.S. government and the Pentagon had an active role in graphing, both militarily and politically, the template of confrontation in Lebanon. The Israeli siege against Lebanon is in many regards a dress rehearsal for a planned attack on Iran. A war against Iran is one that could also include military operations against Syria. Multiple theatres would engulf many of the neighbors of Iran and Syria, including Iraq and Israel/Palestine. It must also be noted that an attack on Iran would be of a scale which would dwarf the events in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Levant. A full blown war on Iran would not only swallow up and incorporate these other conflicts. It would engulf the entire Middle East and Central Asian region into an extensive confrontation. CLIP

Bush Administration Plans for a US War vs. Iran by Dennis Kucinich (September 23, 2006)
http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=KUC20060923&articleId=3310

Dear Friends, The Bush Administration is preparing for war against Iran, using an almost identical drumbeat of weapons of mass destruction, imminent threat, alleged links to Al Queda, and even linking Iran with a future 911. CLIP
In addition to this you will find three other relevant articles below.
-------
1) SUMMARY
As the United States government, under the control of a dark cabal of globalist elitists, has just enacted a new bill that gives extraordinary dictatorial powers to George W Bush to legally arrest, indefinitely detain and even torture anyone on Earth deemed an "illegal enemy combatant" or accused of "wrongfully aiding the enemy", a law that even gives the power to the president to define what abusive interrogation methods he considers permissible, an armada of war is almost secretly en route towards Iran which could be pre-emptively attacked near the end of October during an air campaign that will most likely dwarf the brute force applied against Iraq in 2003. While most mainstream media studiously avoid alarming people over the inevitable consequences both of these new repressive powers and of what such an attack could unleash, or even in most cases properly informing the public about all this, governments around the world are feverishly preparing and implementing plans either to go along with the U.S. hegemonious aims or to oppose them depending on where they stand in this global confrontation now underway.
What is certainly the most disturbing aspect of these war plans, is the alleged desire by the U.S. and/or the Israeli government to resort to tactical nuclear weapons to achieve their claimed objective of neutralizing the secret nuclear weapon program Iran is thought to develop in several deeply buried and heavily fortified locations, some of them being near populated areas. Although numerous military analysts have pointed to the near suicidal nature of such an attack that would have far-reaching consequences for the attacking country whose ground forces are currently bogged down in 2 intractable conflicts slowly grinding down its much vaunted military capabilities and demoralizing its troops with hardly any support left at home for these very unpopular wars, opening such a third war front seems to be an option seriously considered as a way to stunt the American voting constituents into a submissive stance on the eve of the midterm elections that could otherwise prove to be disastrous for the party in power.
Please dedicate your prayers and meditations, as guided by Spirit, in the coming three weeks, and especially in synchronous attunement at the usual time this Sunday and the following Sunday to contribute in fostering the will in all concerned people, particularly in the United States, to undertake any and all possible peaceful actions that could help vigorously demonstrate that those in power have lost the last shred of legitimacy and thus do not represent the will of the people who are invested with the ultimate democratic power to decide what course their nation should take, for the Highest Good of All.
