Apostle Malm Predicts War With Iran





While Prophet Thiel and Spanky are worried about China and Germany, Apostle Malm is worried about Iran and has predicted that the United States and Europe will soon wage war with Iran.  Here is the scenario that Apostle Malm laid out today. The war mentally has permeated Armstrongism from it's very start to this day.

THE FIGHT FOR IRAN
The battle for Iran could unfold in the following manner.  This is what the US forces have trained for, the enemy may have somewhat to say.

1)   A mass bombing by heavy bombers from the US, Europe and Diego Garcia take out most of the missile fields,  main Revolutionary Guards bases and air force.

2)   Continued air attacks from the new bases surrounding Iran and by sea; support ground operations and keep up the pressure by destroying the munitions and military strength of the nation.

3)   US Marine’s move to take key coastal areas in a bid to prevent the closure of the Persian Gulf to shipping and to safeguard naval vessels.



4) Most of  the US army now being rushed to the region will end up in Kuwait where they will access their prepositioned weapons and prepare to move into Khuzestan province.  The CIA has been working hard to destabilize that province for years now and the army will be backing an Arab revolutionary movement already in place. The main Iranian force in the province is the Revolutionary Guard, as many of Iran’s Military leaders are US educated and not really trusted with this vital area.
The First Armored Brigade activated 7 March 1951 at Fort Hood, Texas is the unit to spearhead the attack on Khuzetstan and Iran along with the 173rd Airborne based in Vincensa Italy.

5)   Once the Revolutionary Guard has been demolished, the army may move to establish order and sue for peace; the “Green Path” party can then make its move with mass demonstrations, free from molestation by the Revolutionary Guard security forces.  Presently elections are scheduled for March in Iran.

Excerpts from the blog of Alexis Orger, the blog poetic a poet's daily on Group Think

Maybe my disdain for GroupThink is a result of growing up in The Worldwide Church of God  (lovingly referred to as the world wide web by my college friends), when it was still fashionable and lucrative to be cultish. Our edict was to stay away from “the world.” We thought of ourselves as God’s One True Chosen People and the rest of the world as “the world.” We were encouraged to have no friends in the world. Dating in the world was frowned upon. Dating in general was frowned upon. I had lots of sleepovers with church girls.

There were times as a congregant of the WWCG that I’d walk into our ramshackle church building–sometimes a rented mint green bingo hall, sometimes a Woodmen of the World Insurance building–and the GroupThink energy would almost literally blind me. I’d spend half of a church service sitting out in the car, fending off an impending migraine.

Or maybe it’s being a writer that made me hate GroupThink. Or maybe my hatred of GroupThink made me a writer. Writing is the same as swimming. You do it. You have friends who do it. You admire many of your friends’ skill and passion. You get together a few times a year to get drunk with congratulations (literally drunk and congratulating each other). You go back to your life, which generally consists of many hours of solitary sitting and thinking. Phone calls here and there. You go to coffee shops to write where there are plenty of strangers, many of whom you like to talk to. You love city streets and parks where packs of dogs play. You love the chance encounter. But then you really love that when it’s time to part ways, nobody’s asking you to mobilize anything, or to congregate, or to create a supportive network of such-and-such.

And yet, GroupThinkers have been known to accomplish great things. Aside from killing Jews, raising Inquisitions, championing unchecked capitalism, and plotting the deaths of every citizen of the West, GroupThink also saves baby seals, bans shark fin soup, organizes revolts and protests, gives people purpose, makes people feel less alone…
