Back in early July we wrote that contrary to expectations, veteran Middle Eastern aircraft carrier CVN-74 Stennis would end its shore leave far earlier than expected, and be redeployed back to its usual stomping grounds just off Iran months ahead of schedule. As of days ago, the Stennis has quietly departed Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton and is off. It will join CVN-65 Enterprise (which is doing its last tour of duty ever before being decommissioned) and CVN-69 Eisenhower in the Arabian Sea, aka off the coast of Iran. This will be one of the only times in history when the US has had three aircraft carriers in close proximity to those evil Iranians who are hell bent on global domination. Expect Stennis to reach Iran (and be available to support an Israeli attack of Iran) in the last third week of September. Then determine when the next full moon is following the arrival of Stennis at tits destination, and buy Brent calls just ahead.Finally, profit.
From Kitsap Sun:
The USS John C. Stennis, with more than 2,000 sailors aboard, left Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton on Monday to begin what’s expected to be an eight-month deployment. The Stennis has only been home since March 2, when it returned from a seven-month deployment in the Middle East. But with tensions remaining high in that region, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered the aircraft carrier back out to sea. The carrier had not been scheduled to deploy until January.
The Rest…HERE
I’m thinking back to the Gulf of Tonkin, an admitted false-flag op that gave us an excuse to go to war with the Vietnamese. All we have to do is put a MK48 into the Enterprise and we’re good to go against Iran, seeing as how Iran has diesel subs that could be blamed for this. I didn’t make this up, it’s in an Admiral Morgan series novel. Since we were going to scrap the Big E anyway, it’d probably be cheaper just to sink it. Never mind loss of life. This government kills whom it pleases, anytime, anywhere. Witness the National Defense Authorization Act. The other scenario is to have three battle groups on hand, accuse Syria of using biochemical weapons, then go in with Israel and take out both countries. Then the Navy sits back and hopes like hell Russia and China don’t counter-attack. Those quieter-than-quiet Russian diesel boats could wreak havoc on a battle group. I wouldn’t be feeling too comfortable right now if I were an American. With the recent introduction of nuke missiles in Cuba (see Pravda) and the recent undetected transit of the Gulf of Mexico by a Russian nuclear sub, I’d be feeling very naked and afraid. But, then, that’s how they want us to feel. The longest 60 days in history is now underway.
