Didn't the Cs said that Trump would try and fail?

They did not say he would fail they just said he "Will try"

Session 15 October 2016:

Q: (Beau) If Trump is elected, will he actually change American foreign policy?

A: Will try.

Q: (Pierre) Doesn't mean he will succeed.

(Joe) If you try...

(Pierre) That's better than...

A: Too many variables.

Q: (L) So, too many variables to make a call on that.

(Beau) Yeah.

There are still many variables.

The main force the Cs do say will fail is STS. Of course no one has to believe that and belief is not such a good thing anyway if it is placed in false hope and lies.

There are many places the Cs tell about the failure of STS but I'll just give this one for now.

Session 22 October 1994:

Q: (L) Well, since there is so many of us here, why don't they just move in and take over?

A: That is their intention. That has been their intention for quite some time. They have been traveling back and forth through time as you know it, to set things up so that they can absorb a maximum amount of negative energy with the transference from third level to fourth level that this planet is going to experience, in the hopes that they can overtake you on the fourth level and thereby accomplish several things. 1: retaining their race as a viable species; 2: increasing their numbers; 3: increasing their power; 4: expanding their race throughout the realm of fourth density. To do all of this they have been interfering with events for what you would measure on your calendar as approximately 74 thousand years. And they have been doing so in a completely still state of space time traveling backward and forward at will during this work. Interestingly enough, though, all of this will fail.

Q: (L) How can you be so sure it will fail?

A: Because we see it. We are able to see all, not just what we want to see. Their failing is that they see only what they want to see. In other words, it's the highest manifestation possible of that which you would refer to as wishful thinking. And, wishful thinking represented on the fourth level of density becomes reality for that level. You know how you wishfully think? Well, it isn't quite reality for you because you are on the third level, but if you are on the fourth level and you were to perform the same function, it would indeed be your awareness of reality. Therefore they cannot see what we can see since we serve others as opposed to self, and since we are on sixth level, we can see all that is at all points as is, not as we would want it to be.

Until you we able see more than just what we want to see I think we will fail.

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accused U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton of plotting for war against Iran in a tweet on Tuesday.

Iran foreign minister accuses U.S.'s Bolton of plotting for war

“Wanna know why those with proven record of detesting diplomacy are suddenly interested in talks? Just read @AmbJohnBolton’s 2017 recipe for destroying the #JCPOA,” Zarif wrote, adding a link to a 2017 article written by Bolton in the National Review. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, is the landmark 2015 nuclear deal Iran signed with world powers.

“Iran never left the negotiation table. #B_Team dragged the U.S. out, while plotting for war,” Zarif added.

Zarif has in the past said that a “B-team” including Bolton, an ardent Iran hawk, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, could goad Trump into a conflict with Tehran.

Oman to open embassy in Palestinian territories' West Bank: foreign ministry

Oman said on Wednesday it was planning to open a new diplomatic mission in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and that a delegation from its foreign ministry would go to Ramallah for that purpose.

The Gulf state made its announcement as Washington launched an economic plan it says will be a foundation for Israeli-Palestinian peace but which Palestinians and many other Arabs dismiss as pointless without a political solution.

“In line with the Sultanate’s support for the brotherly Palestinian people, it has decided to open a new diplomatic mission for Palestine at the level of embassy,” the foreign ministry said in Twitter post.

“A delegation from the foreign ministry will be going to Ramallah to start procedures to open the embassy,” the tweet added.

A source familiar with the decision said that Oman closed its diplomatic mission in Gaza following the 2006 Israeli bombing of the strip of land, but it kept close ties with the Palestinian authority.

Hanan Ashrawi, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organisation, welcomed the decision and any recognition of Palestine as a state.

“I hope the embassy will help in educating the Omani government on the real nature of the Israeli occupation,” Ashrawi added, speaking at a news conference on Wednesday in Ramallah.

Oman has long been to the Middle East what neutral Switzerland is to global diplomacy. The country helped to mediate secret U.S.-Iran talks in 2013 that led to the historic nuclear deal signed in Geneva two years later.

It has been offering ideas to help Israel and the Palestinians come together although it is not acting as a direct mediator.

Last year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a rare visit to Muscat and discussed Middle East peace initiatives with Omani leader Sultan Qaboos.

[Cosmos]

Check this out! It seems like the former chairman of the Iranian Parliament Nuclear Committee. Rep. Mojtaba Zonnour just inadvertently revealed that Iran already has at least one nuclear bomb and that they will use it to destroy Israel within 30 Minutes after the US decides to attack. This also begs the question, assuming they have the bomb, why would Israel and the rest of the western alliance pretend that they don't have it yet? Would it make an attack on the country pretty much impossible? Maybe that's why? Personally, I think it is highly unlikely that Israel and others wouldn't know that Iran has nuclear weapons if they have them. If Iran has them and Israel and Co. know it, why would they still want to have a war with them? Could it be that the Zionists plan it that way for "the last great war", in a sort of forced "prophesy come true" way, even risking or wanting to have it nuclear? Are they that crazy? Could another reason for why it is kept secret that they already have a nuclear bomb (if that's the case) be, that it would contradict the Israeli/Western claims that they will use it to destroy Israel immediately? If they have it now, it is likely that they had it for years, and thus obviously haven't used it to attack anyone and thus Israel/the West would be exposed as the liars they are.

 

[bjorb]

This also begs the question, assuming they have the bomb, why would Israel and the rest of the western alliance pretend that they don't have it yet?

Because it proofs that Iran's military doctrine is based on deterrence.

For almost 2 decades Isreal/US propagated that Iran wants the bomb to destroy Isreal, or give it to terrorists.

Since that hasn’t happened, (If they already got the bomb) It shows for all to see (who can at least) who the true aggressors were all along.

It's also not in Iran best interest to show the World they have the bomb. Since it will proofs they are untrustworthy to other (certain) countries. (But who can truly blame them for acquiring the bomb)

That said, Iran should be very careful playing this card. And I don’t believe they will unless the other side will launch nukes against them. But if it happens, Israel has submarines with enough nukes to destroy the whole of Iran! None of their cities will be left standing and it will end in mutual destruction. It better not come to this!

Would it make an attack on the country pretty much impossible?

Indeed, and they better realize this too!

 

[Ursus Minor]

Israels goal must be to establish itself as the major regional power militarily and economically (oil and gas exploitation, pipelines to make Israel a major hub for selling the stuff to Europe).

This is of course wishful thinking and the only way for them to prevail is to unleash the military might of the US on Iran as quickly as possible, before an economic collapse would disable US forces.

They must be hoping that a false flag attack in the Persian gulf would escalate quickly with the US retaliating and Iran hitting back at the US Navy in the gulf.

An aircraft carrier sinking might be the event to turn this into a nuclear confrontation.

 

[angelburst29]

In my understanding, the argument is that Iran has "exceeded the 300 kilogram limit" set in the Iranian Deal BUT even the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Inspectors who weighted the enriched uranium on Wednesday and again today, have only stated that Iran exceeded the limit, NEVER disclosing the percentage Iran exceeded? No number or amount is given - in any of the reports I have read?

Yet, Israel and the UK are flipping out?

Check this out! It seems like the former chairman of the Iranian Parliament Nuclear Committee Rep. Mojtaba Zonnour just inadvertently revealed that Iran already has at least one nuclear bomb and that they will use it to destroy Israel within 30 Minutes after the US decides to attack.

Nothing in Politics happens by accident. The Iranian Government is so strictly managed - that to have something "inadvertently revealed" happened by "consent of the authorities". This Nuclear deal is a major issue and Iran has suffered under various sanctions.

Iran did not pull out of the JCPOA deal, Trump pulled the US - out, then imposed economic sanction on Iran to hinder exported oil.

I suspect, the claim of Iran exceeding the kilogram limit and the claim that Iran might have "at least one" nuclear bomb is a ploy or bargaining chip? July 7th is a deadline.

MOSCOW, July 1, 2019 - Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium have exceeded the 300 kilogram limit set in the Iran nuclear deal, Fars News Agency said on Monday citing a source familiar with latest data from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"After measuring Iran's enriched materials last Wednesday, inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) weighed them again today and (said that) Iran's stockpile has exceeded 300kg," the source was quoted as saying.

Earlier in the day, Tasnim agency said that Iran would continue to reduce its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) after July 7, despite the launch of Europe’s INSTEX interbank mechanism. Thus, Tehran plans to waive its commitment not to enrich uranium to more than 3.67% and to return to the initial plan of the modernization of the reactor at Arak that had been adopted before the signing of the nuclear deal, which provided for a possibility of producing weapons plutonium.

Situation around JCPOA
The JCPOA, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, was signed between Iran and six international mediators (the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia, the United States, and France) in July 2015. Under the deal, Iran undertook to curb it's nuclear activities and place them under total control of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in exchange of abandonment of the sanctions imposed previously by the United Nations Security Council, the European Union and the United States over its nuclear program.

On May 8, 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the deal and imposed economic sanctions seeking to stop Iranian oil exports.

On May 8, 2019, or exactly a year after the United States’ withdrawal, Iranian President Hassan Rouhari declared he was suspending some of Iran's obligations under the JCPOA. In part, he said that Tehran would resume uranium enrichment and terminate the conversion of the heavy water reactor at Arak, if the signatories to the deal fail to comply with the conditions of the agreement, including those concerning banking and oil trade, within a 60-day deadline that expires on July 7.

I wonder about too. What happens if Iran manages to sink the US Fifth Fleet that operates in the Persian Gulf?

But I think that if the US will dig their grave even deeper if they decide to turn low-yield nukes into “battlefield weapons”

During the aftermatch:

1. Global public opinion would be incredible hostile against the US for decades to come.
2. Dozens of countries will start to acquire nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence.
