Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad The Revelation of Iran's Nuclear Prophet

THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS MAN We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world. We must prepare ourselves to rule the world. MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD The powerful army of the Islamic Republic of Iran is in the service of peace and security and is no threat to anyone. But in the face of enemies, it is like a meteorite. It will cut off the hand of any aggressor and leave the enemy covered in shame. MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD I have traveled to all the continents except for one, and I know what is going on out there. Everybody is eager to hear the Iranian people's message.... The world is rapidly becoming "Ahmadinejadized." MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD Depending on your own beliefs, Ahmadinejad is either mystical or deranged. In either case, he is exceedingly dangerous. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER The real danger is that Iran could become one gigantic suicide bomber. BENJAMIN NETANYAHU We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of the Anglo-Saxon civilization....We must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are twenty-nine sensitive sites in the U.S. and the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them. HASSAN ABBASSI (CHIEF STRATEGY ADVISER TO AHMADINEJAD) A WORLD ON EDGE As U.S. naval forces are conducting training exercises in the Persian Gulf, Iranian Revolutionary Guards fire on a U.S. ship, claiming it entered Iranian waters. Rumors of the confrontation spread like wildfire. Oil prices immediately spike. The United States quickly denies the report. In spite of this denial, rumors about the military confrontation in the Gulf spur panic buying in afterhours trading on March 27, 2007. The price of oil shoots up $5 to $68 a barrel in a matter of minutes. This is only the beginning. Speculators prepare for $150-a-barrel oil. Then suddenly, prices fall back to $63 a barrel within a couple of hours. It turned out to only be a rumor. Or was it? Saudi Arabia has said that if the United States or Israel ends up in open confrontation with Iran, oil prices will triple overnight. That means oil at $150$200 a barrel. That means $5, $6, or even $7 a gallon at the pump. The economic consequences will be catastrophic. But high gas prices will be only the first in a series of dangerous dominos to fall if a misstep in the Gulf escalates out of control.Terror alerts will go to level red in the homeland. Iran will unleash Hezbollah on Israel from the north and Hamas from the west; Syria might even join in. Tehran will stir an onslaught of sectarian violence in Iraq and turn it into a brutal bloodbath. American troops will be caught in the crossfire and sustain heavy losses. The conflict will spiral out of control. Russia may feel the need to get involved. China could act to protect its vital oil lifeline in Iran. A chain reaction of triphammer blows will be set in motion. The end result will be so catastrophic that no one probably has a complete picture of the destruction and confusion. At this moment, this scenario is still fiction, but in truth it might not be in the near future. Iran is a powder keg waiting to explode. Iran is repeatedly, brazenly defying UN Security Council sanctions against its nuclear program. Threatening Israel with genocide. Stoking sectarian violence in Iraq. Capturing British sailors. Humiliating them in front of the world. Taunting the United States"the Great Satan." What's this all about? Is it just political jockeying? Is it a new muscular sense of Iranian nationalism reacting against Western "imperialism"? Or is there something more sinister behind it all?
