The fingerprints of Israel’s meddling are all over the place in Yemen. And you better believe that we’ll be hearing a lot more about Yemeni connections to all manner of atrocities committed in the name of “Allah” against the United States. Israel will make darn sure of that. And what’s my evidence? Well, recent history would be a good place to start.

Does anybody remember the USS Cole? In October, 2000 while refueling in the Port of Aden, the USS Cole was sunk by a small boat loaded with explosives, resulting in the death of 17 soldiers and injuring another 39. Samples of the explosives taken from the ships hull revealed that the explosive was of a type only available in the U.S. and…(drum roll please) that’s right-Israel!

How about the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Sa'ana? In October 2008 Yemeni security forces arrested a group of alleged Islamists militants linked to Israeli intelligence in connection to that provocatuered attack. The network was described as 40 people from different Arab nationalities that were spying for the Mossad. Say it ain’t so, Joe!

Israel has even been linked to the Somali piracy trade when Somali pirates were found to have telephone links to former Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert’s office. Nasty business.

Now how could our “only ally in the Middle East” do such awful things to their best friend in the whole wide world? Simple. It’s the old Mossad “we will wage war by way of deception” technique of carrying out attacks on your ally and blaming it on the one’s you want your ally to attack in retaliation (in layman’s terms of course).

So what’s the hubbub, bub? Why all this activity concentrated in and around Yemen? Well, Israel has always salivated over controlling that region. In an article appearing in “The Yemen Times” on October 26, 2008 titled “Israeli Strategy to occupy Al-Mandab Strait” Najeeb Al-Ghurbani writes:

“The first President of the Zionist government David Goryon expressed his state’s aspirations to control the Red Sea in 1949. He rather said, “We are besieged from land frontiers while sea is the only passage to the outside world and the only means for establishing communication with other continents.”

If you want an even better grasp on the Israeli strategy you can find it in Saudi Arabian Colonel Turki Al-Anazi’s “Strategy Research Project” document titled “Strategic Importance of the Red Sea”. Starting on page 13 under the heading “Israeli Strategy”, Col. Al-Anazi states:

“Free navigation to and from Eilat is considered absolutely essential to Israel’s security and economic interests and to reduce Israel’s political isolation, due to the enmity with its Arab neighbors.

The Red Sea’s importance for Israel grew since it is the best waterway for shipping and trade with East Africa and the Far East. The prime concern for the Israelis is to secure free passage through the straits of the Red Sea so it would not be under any political or economical pressure.

The Israeli strategy in the Red Sea stands on certain bases.

First, the necessity of Israel’s security that demands controlling the straits and waterways of the Red Sea and preventing any of its adversaries from controlling them.

Secondly, the Red Sea is vital to Israel’s economic well being since it’s a maritime route to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean’s and links it to Asian and African trading markets.

The Israelis even set their own goals dealing with the Red Sea region, which are:

1.) To secure free navigation on the Red Sea

2.) To accomplish a strategic depth in the Red Sea, which enable Israel to monitor the Arab military in this region

3.) To break any Arab blockade on any of the Red Sea straits, waterways or on the Israeli ships

4.) To guarantee and secure the civilian line and military lines in the Red Sea which are directed to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal or to the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Bab Al-Mandab.”

So it should come at no suprise that Connecticut Senator and Israel-firster Joe Lieberman wants a pre-emptive strike on Yemen. Not only does he want retaliation for the failed attempt to blow up a Delta airliner in Detroit by Nigerian student Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab; but it’s also the fulfillment of a lifelong Israeli dream.

And since we’ve touched on the subject of the Christmas day “Fruit of the BOOM!” false flag event, I might as well point out that even that smells of Israeli mischief. When you consider that security at the Amsterdam airport where our alleged terrorist sailed through was run by an Israeli company ICTS (the same company responsible for security for every airport from which the 9-11 terrorists departed) and when you factor in that his father (who is mistakenly reported by the MSM to be a Nigerian banker) is an arms dealer with intimate and far reaching ties to Israel and the Mossad, you can’t blame me for sending up red flags all over the place.

But I know. You’re going to tell me that Obama has already assured us that he has no intention of sending troops into Yemen, right? Well, actually I believe him. How can he? We’re already over-extended with a war in Afghanistan and one staring in Pakistan. Where is he going to get the troops? Now Bush might try to pull off a crazy thing like that but that’s not Obama’s style. Obama is a protégé of Zbigniew Brzezinski and using your own men and resources to fight wars is not how old Zbig rolls. Brzezinski’s strategy is one of proxy wars. Brzezinski method is to pit one group against the other in order to destabilize the region. An example of this is the creation of al-Queda in Afghanistan (by none other than Obama’s current Defense Secretary Robert Gates). The U.S. trained and equipped a fighting force and pitted them against the Russians. Nice way to save some scratch while at the same time devastating your opponent.

So how can this strategy be applied to an offensive in Yemen? Well, I tend to side with Webster Tarpley here and his assessment of the situation. Tarpley points out that the objective in Yemen is to break it up into micro-states and mini-states. And there are at least four groups that can be used to facilitate this. To the north are the Shiite Houthie rebels who are supported by Iran and fighting in opposition to the central government. Then we have the Saudi backed Sunni who are in support of the central government. Throw in some hard lined Communist left-overs from the old soviet days and a bunch of Guantanamo ex-cons and escaped prisoners joining the CIA…uh, I mean…al-Queda and you’ve got the makings of one hell of a party!

And of course after they get through killing each other off and pieces of Yemen start breaking into sub-regions and enclaves, Obama can step in with his Nobel prize in hand and offer humanitarian aid and assistance; which essentially means Wall Street, Tel-Aviv and London coming in for the kill under the President’s left cover.

And by the time its all over, the U.S. will have set a nice little table for its client state Israel to feast upon.

But that’s just my opinion. What do I know?
