Gstaad
I’ve written this before on these here pages: Israel in cahoots with the Americans is going to bomb Iran before the 4 November US elections. How do I know, especially after sitting on a sailing boat for six weeks? That’s an easy one. Over the years I’ve made some pretty good contacts in Washington, and there is such a thing called email, a hard nut I have managed to crack going on ten years. Here’s how the Taki scenario goes: (with a little help from a Washington-based Belgian count).
Russia has now shown America to have a loud voice but to carry a small stick. The Americans and the neocons feel humiliated (like that other great warrior David Cameron). Russia is selling Iran anti-aircraft systems to defend nuclear installations against an Israeli attack. Dubai is the new Hong Kong, a major port where goods arrive from all over the world for the planet’s most modern city. Some 300,000 Iranians, mostly businessmen, live in Dubai, where shuttle services run to Iran 100 miles away. There are $300,000 million worth of construction projects now underway in Dubai, a place swimming in riches. The ruling Maktoum dynasty wants to stay on the good side of the mullahs in Tehran, and the last thing the Maktoums want is an Iranian retaliatory strike on their real estate against American targets. Which they will get once Tel Aviv unleashes its air force against Iran.
When does the clock run out? It all has to do with the US elections. If McCain is shown to be leading in October, Israel might hold its fire. McCain, a decent man, is under the tutelage of Senator Joe Lieberman, also a decent person but an Israel firster. But if Obama’s ratings take off, which I believe they will, fuggeraboutit.
