China Rushes to Complete $100B Deal With Iran

Post by knightmare »

SHANGHAI, Feb. 17 -- China is hastening to complete a deal worth as much as $100 billion that would allow a Chinese state-owned energy firm to take a leading role in developing a vast oil field in Iran, complicating the Bush administration's efforts to isolate the Middle Eastern nation and roll back its nuclear development plans, according to published reports.

The completion of the agreement would advance China's global quest for new stocks of energy. It could also undermine U.S. and European initiatives to halt Tehran's nuclear plans, possibly generating friction in Beijing's relations with outside powers.

Caijing, a respected financial magazine based in Beijing, reported on its Web site on Thursday that a Chinese delegation comprised of officials from the National Development and Reform Commission -- a top economic policy body -- intends to visit Iran as early as next month to conclude an agreement. The deal would clear China Petrochemical Corp., also known as Sinopec, to develop the Yadavaran oil field in southern Iran.

Beijing and Tehran are attempting to swiftly conclude a deal in the next few weeks, ahead of the possible imposition of international sanctions against Iran, according to a report published in Friday's editions of The Wall Street Journal. The report relied upon unnamed Iranian government officials. Sanctions could hinder Chinese investments in Iran.

I just read that Iran left talks with Russia and won't be letting them enrich their plutonium for them. One step closer to war imho.

It's in Revelation.. the Chinese already have a super highway through Asia, military use only...

Here is a couple of exerpts from a site... use your own discernment



Drying up of Euphrates
The prophecy of Revelation 16:12 has lain quietly for almost 2,000 years, virtually defying fulfillment. It declares that the mighty Euphrates River will be dried up at the time of the Battle of Armageddon. But who is kidding whom? The Euphrates is the principal water source of the entire Middle East. This is like prophesying that the Mississippi River will be dried up! This Euphrates prophecy just appeared to be impossible. At least it did until the shocking headline appeared on the front page of the Indianapolis Star, January 13, 1990. It read, "Flow of Euphrates To Be Stopped for 30 Days." The article explained that Turkey had built the huge Ataturk Dam. Thirty days would be required to fill up the newly constructed reservoir. So the Euphrates was temporarily stopped. The river is flowing again now. However, as of 1990, the mechanism is in place that can stop the flow of the Euphrates at will. The prophecy states that, at the time of Armageddon, the flow of the Euphrates will be dried up to facilitate the invasion of Israel. It will really be very simple. Just push the button, raise the dam, and the Euphrates stops. But remember, it's only been possible since 1990!

China War - 200 million man army
In summary, the prophecy says that an army of 200 million will trigger a war that will kill one-third of the world's population - two billion people. Of all the prophecies, this one is by far the most ominous! No matter how we twist and turn its message, it still states that one-third of the world will be destroyed. But who will ignite this horrible prophesied holocaust? The Bible describes an army of 200 million. Has there ever been an army of 200 million on the face of the earth? Most nations don't even have a population of 200 million - let alone an army! The alarming news is that a nation has made the boast that it can field an army of 200 million. The late leader of China, Mao Tse Tung, bragged that he could field an army of 200 million soldiers. The 1999 Fact Book, put out by the CIA, stated that China had 198 million men of military age (15-49). That number went over the 200 million mark as of the year 2000. A prophecy that could never before have been fulfilled can now come to pass at any time. Since the Saddam Hussein prophecy happened at the sounding of the 5th Trumpet and the China War will occur at the 6th Trumpet, it is obvious that this terrible event is the next major item on God's prophetic calendar. Knowing this, we realize how very dangerous the present conflict between China and the United States actually is!

Hello, blinders!

China is THE globalist model; total control over its population, strict regulation over EVERY communication outlet, a giant sword at the throats of its citizens; the number one growing economic power in the world. The world's largest air force, a huge standing army.

Provocation is a powerful tool in providing justification...all it takes is one incident involving the U.S. to make a retaliation "right" in the eyes of the world who already have a distaste for the Bushevelt Corollary. China will never shoot first, not because they're noble, but because they're not stupid.

We couldn't "easily" beat them by a long shot. Stretch out your sweater as far as you can and see how well it stops the cold.

Dude..not for nothing but our spies couldn't even get Iraq right. How do we know accurately what they have or don't have? They have tons of spies here and the ability to mimic things to a T, cheaper and faster. We could very well be way behind them and not even know it.
