From Libya to the world: Egypt makes its biggest arms bust ever

May 20, 2012 19:53

Egyptian security forces have made their biggest ever smuggled arms bust, intercepting over 120 rockets and other supplies. The seized weapons, presumably on their way to the Gaza Strip, originated in neighboring Libya, smugglers say.

Where is NATO (Northern Atlantic Terrorist Organisation)?Oh,. they have moved their terror at the backyard of Russia and China... but isn't there a saying that 'what goes around comes around'?

False. The weapons were meant to be delivered to the so called "free Syrian Army" (US, Turkish and Arab tyrannies foreign mercinary terror squads many of whom are US backed Libyan mafia gangsters).

Sounds rather unconvincing.  There is no way such a quantity of arms could have been taken accross Sinai to Gaza.  This is pure fiction.   Sinai is not an easy territory to traverse, and there are only few road systems and well controlled border passes.  The tunnels Palestinians dig are barely enough to smuggle consumer goods, not rocket launchers.  Such quantity of weaponry found in a port city indicates that the destination was Syria.  It is possible that the cargo came via ship from Libya, but since all ships from that direction would have been intercepted, it is possible that the arms smugglers are transiting the cargo in Egyptian port, using some friendly flag and captains to accommodate them.   It is to avoid scrutiny when docking in Lebanon, for example.  It would not surprise me that the cargo could have gone from Egyptian port through Suez to Jordan or Saudi Arabia, and from there to Syria.   I do not know who invented the Gaza strip to be the destination.  Surely, the smugglers can easily be questioned on that, since they cannot easily make up their contacts' names --- is such do not exist.   The problem is the massive quantity of arms.   Makes one wonder --- most countries have become alert and are intercepting cargos.   But some will not.  If cargo goes from Saudi Arbaia accross Jordan.

This false flag has been averted.  The worrying aspect of this of course is the strategy behind it. When you knock out a false flag,  you've already done the necessary grou ndwork to capitalize on the effect. The question is what strategic plan was being implemented here. Look closely as what is about to become, these operations are part of much bigger plan, a plan too big to be derailed by false flag job gone wrong. A concerted  silence from the judeowestern big media is always your most reliable indicator that israel is up to no good.  Foiling this false flag is a lose lose for them too in terms of loss of potential reven ue, bear in mind that the media stand to make a news killing when israel is attacked by any enemy, the ensuing retailiation will be great fodder for selling adds.  but not to wory, they won't have to wait long, the greater plan will remain on course, this FF operation may well have been foiled; but israel has plenty more stuff like this simmering on the back boiler ready to be served.

Is this some Satanically evil admission that John McCain's, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton's Libya Rebel Al CIAdea 'friends' are actually supplying weapons to the Palestinian's as well as across most of Africa where inside Africa they are being actively used to murder Christians?

O h my that would be a rare admission wouldn't it? I'd like to see the Zionist neo-con bootlickers McCain, Liberman and Graham state that in public.

Such exposes how utterly insane and corrupt the Luciferian depraved Zionist actions were in their rush to execute Gadhafi whose blow-back has poured Libya's weapons across Africa as well as into Egypt and Gaza.

Whew! That was a close call! Thank goodness those aggressive Palestinians didn't get any more weapons. The next thing you know, those no-good, two-legged animals would be stealing more Jew land, and uprooting more Jew olive groves, and just generally oppressing the poor Jew victims even more.Why, they might even use the weapons to murder the defenseless, violin-playing Jews , and then plunder their organs or something awful like that.

Let Palestinians arm themselves. Until they create their own deterrance arsenal, Israel will continue to feel free to raid the area and shell it, using bogus excuses to justify its attacks.

The most curious aspect of this story is that the Zionist Media is completely silent on it.

A quick spot check of CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Haaretz,  etc. shows that none of these Zionist propaganda outlets are running this story as of this posting (Sunday, 10:30 pm EDT)

I guess the question that comes to mind is, "Did Egypt just bust up yet another Israeli MOSSAD False Flag operation?"

I srael is imploding and Netanyahu's government is desperate for a distraction to put that genocidal nuclear armed terrorist rogue state back to "eternal victim" status on the world stage.

I think there is much more to this story and I hope Russia Today will keep digging for more information.  Perhaps this will unravel into another Lavon Affair, King David Hotel bombing, attack on the USS Liberty, 7-7 or 9-11.

peace.

"Gaza, of which 55 percent of the population is orphaned children"


What a load of b*****ks wheres the proof of that. REPLY: Most LIKE YOURSELF are ignorant of this fact, as most are ignorant of the slow systematic genocide of Palestinians by an illegitimate and fraudulent zionist regime called israel. They have hijacked this name that they have zero authority to use, they are THE abomination that causes desolation standing where they ought not. The writing is on the wall, their days are numbered.

Egypt is still under zionist occupation and control by stealth, this is fact. This report coming out of Egypt that this weaponry was destined for Gaza would be laughable if it were not so serious. The zionist regime are desperate for any justification of their enforced largest open air concentration camp in the world , Gaza, of which 55 percent of the population is orphaned children. This is another lying zionist report we would expect coming out of zionist controlled Egypt. The globally awakened population have learned to read between the lines.

No way these weapons could enter Gaza through the Sinai. Sinai peninsula is totally under Israel control. Egytian army has to ASK permission if they want to enter this zone of their OWN territory!!!

This is one of those unbelievable realities that have not changed since Mubarak had to leave his position.

Har d to believe, isn't it?
