WEB Notes: We have included a map below this post. You will notice Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are neighbors to Iran across the Persian Gulf.  Both of these nations are enemies of Iran, last year Bahrain cut off diplomatic ties with Iran after Saudi Arabia did. Notice the military hardware that is to be sold to both of these nations. Missiles and fighter jets both capable of being used against Iran. Listen to the words from one White House Official, “These are significant sales for key allies in the Gulf who are facing the threat from Iran and who can contribute to the fight against the Islamic State.” Iran is a made up threat, but they are a threat to Global Powers as they are not a part of the current global structure.

Politico – by Rachael Bade

House Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday discussed how to protect themselves and their staffs from protesters storming town halls and offices in opposition to repealing Obamacare, sources in the room told Politico.

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers invited Rep. David Reichert, a former county sheriff, to present lawmakers with protective measures they should have in place. Among the suggestions: having a physical exit strategy at town halls, or a backdoor in congressional offices to slip out of, in case demonstrations turn violent; having local police monitor town halls; replacing any glass office-door entrances with heavy doors and deadbolts; and setting up intercoms to ensure those entering congressional offices are there for appointments, not to cause chaos.   Continue reading “At a closed-door meeting, House lawmakers discuss strategies to counter potential violence.”

A new report by Thomas Shugart on War On The Rocks details the disturbing level to which China appears to have planned out a crippling missile attack on US military bases in the Pacific should its interests in the region be threatened.

For some time analysts have noted that China seems to be tailoring its military to counter the US’s. For example, Beijing tested its “carrier killer‘ ballistic missile on a model of a US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, while its own aircraft carrier is designed for coastal defense and will likely be destined for the South China Sea.   Continue reading “China may be preparing for a crippling preemptive missile strike on US military bases”
