Global Warming or Global Governance

We have all heard about Global Warming, and we probably all have different degrees of understanding about it.  Some of us may be into the scientific arguments, some the political arguments with the Cap & Trade, while some of us may not know much at all about any of it, or a mix of all of the above.

I thought I would shed a little light on this idea of global warming as it is much more significant than probably any of us realize.  There is certainly a scientific argument to this debate.  Scientists don't disagree as much on the fact that we are seeing global warming as much as what is causing it and what its effects are on the environment and on mankind.  There is also a concern on the huge tax increases we will see if government starts mandating we pay taxes for our resource consumption.  Global Warming would say as we consume the world's resources, it creates more pollution that causes the atmosphere to get thicker and hold more heat, which causes Global Warming.  CO2 emissions is the biggest concern in the global warming "theory".  They would argue as CO2 levels rise, the earth's heat rises.  You will see many of the world's wealthiest people pushing this agenda (Bill Gates, Ted Turner, John Travolta, and many more).  They blame global warming on too many people emitting CO2, so we will have to "manage" the world's population, and we better do it fast or we won't have much time left on this earth.  The earth cannot sustain this many people!  They are not the only ones that believe this unfortunately.  (Click on their names to see them speak about it)

I would like to tell you something else you have probably never heard about global warming, and I'm sure it will take more than this one post to convince you of this, which I intend to do.  It is not just an idea to save the earth, and maybe not an idea concerned at all about the earth; it is a big attempt to push this world much closer to global governance, a one world government, a "new world order".  There is a 40 chapter document on the United Nations website called "Agenda 21", which is really a "law" of global control of the world's economy, resources, and consumption of its resources.  The United Nations and other powerful elites are pushing Agenda 21 at the global, national, and local levels world-wide, which we will see in many different forms (such as global warming), to take control of the world (that's right, I said it).  We will see many different names as they push their agenda, but it is all the same agenda, stealing our rights to private property and much more.  As I said before, you need only to listen and recognize the key words, and you will see that it is all the same idea with a different name.  (green energy, smart growth, sustainable development, etc)

This may sound crazy to many of you, but it just takes a little bit of digging to find that everything begins to point the same direction.  Global Warming is VERY significant and needs our attention.  I found this video below that not only disproves the evidence of their theory, but it begs the question of "why?"  If it is not true, than why is it being pushed so hard?  It is a must see video, please take the time to watch it, don't take my word for it!  I am merely trying to expose the truth, and I will do my best to only give you solid information.  Watch it!

Expsosing the truth

As most of you know, I have recently gone off the deep end with conspiracy chasing.  I was always one of the doubters, I always made it hard for the radicals who would talk about these crazy ideas.  How could the government really get away with this stuff?  How could it even be possible?  I'll be the first to say that some of these conspiracy theories are way out there, so you have to be careful what you believe.  However, I have recently found so much evidence that there is no longer any doubt in my mind that many of them are true.  Whether they get away with these agendas or not remains to be seen in some cases, but there is certainly an elite group of people with very dangerous agendas. These groups are mostly made of world leaders, CEOs, and the wealthiest of populations all over the world.  Many are bankers, politicians, from the educational system, the military, and media giants.

Now I am the radical trying to expose the truth; now I am the one making people angry; they really don't want to hear it.  Even if it is true, people would rather ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.  This is a big mistake.  Being a Christian, some of this comes as no surprise, it was already told to us in the scriptures.  And as a Christian, we have a hope that transcends all evil and all good and bad experiences on this earth, so we need not fear if we have faith in Jesus Christ.  We also understand that God is in control, so nothing happens out of his will.  I don't find myself worrying about this stuff or changing my lifestyle because I fear these truths, but to turn my head to it is to ensure that my kids will be living its reality.  I would encourage you not to let this stuff consume you, but to be aware of it and help support measures to keep it out of our country.  The biggest deterrent to these evil agendas is simple - knowledge; so I will try to make you knowledgeable.

I have been using facebook as a tool to expose some of this, but it is so limited in how much information you can give people.  You merely see a small clip and get enough information to think "that's crazy" or "you're crazy".  That is why I am here at my blog.  I intend to only post solid evidence with enough detail that you can clearly see the truth, which is difficult to find as you have to weed through all of the crazy talk and crazy people to find it.  It will take a lot of time to uncover the truth, and one thing leads to the next; it continues to get deeper and deeper.  The interesting thing that I am finding is that although this gets broader in scope, it is getting smaller in its ultimate initiatives.  They are all starting to point in the same direction with the same agendas in mind!  It is also important to recognize that this kind of activity has gone on for centuries, but it is only this present time that has given us the ability to connect the world in such a way to actually make their agendas a reality and global in scope.  Some of these agendas are good, some things DO need to be addressed, but most of it is headed toward the goal of controlling the world and its resources.

So with that, as time permits, I will attempt to begin my efforts to expose the truth.

If you would like to do your own digging (I would advise you to do it carefully), here are some things you can began working on:  (this list will keep expanding as you dig deeper and is so expansive already in my scratching the surface that there is no way to uncover everything or list everything right now)

High level:
  1. New World Order (NWO)
  2. Elite Groups (This is where it begins) - Bilderberg, Council for Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, Illuminati, NATO, United Nations, IMF, World Bank, Royal Institute of National Affairs, World Health Organization (WHO) and many more.
  3. Elites (powerful people with powerful agendas) - You really just need to pick a group from the list above and you will begin finding the people involved, and most of them will be involved in many of the groups above.  (Most presidents, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Henry Kissenger, David Rockefeller, Ben Bernanke, Robert Gates, Donald Rumsfield, Leon Panetta, and untold more)
  4. Agendas (each of these will have many facets) -  Globalism, Sustainable Development, Agenda 21, North American Union, Population Control/Reduction Agenda, Eugenics Agenda, The Rule of Law, Codex Alimentarius, Global Warming, GMO (genetically modified crops and animals), "green" energy, and MANY more. 
  5. Resources - I don't have a lot of resources at this time, but will of course continue to post them as I expose the truth. The internet has a wealth of information, but you have to be very careful what you believe.  You want to take note of the documentation and executive orders used as evidence, etc.  Youtube is also a good and bad resource, you need to be very careful which videos you take as truth and make sure to get them in full context!  Make sure it is strait from the source or provides solid evidence.  It won't take you long to figure this out!


Helpful advice:
Whether you study this or not, keep your eye out for things unfolding; keep your ears open for specific terms.  If you know what to listen for, you will recognize it when you hear it.  Such as when George Bush Sr made a couple of very provocative speeches mentioning the "New World Order", that they would be successful in its establishment...I think that slipped by most of the world's population without notice or at least without concern.  You will hear a lot of things being pushed - vaccines, anything "sustainable", global anything, global warming, population policies and initiatives, GMO, resource consumption, "green" energy.   Learn to recognize these things when you see and hear them, there is a good chance it is all a part of the big agenda!

More to come!

Technology Update

*Please see my disclaimer, these are my personal views, which are not always 100% accurate*

It has been quite some time since I have posted a blogcast.  For the most part I have stuck to the gadgets world with cell phones, tablets, laptops, and related news.  Every once and a while I will jump to world events such as Iran.  Not much has changed with Iran...yet, and as usual, the electronics are still changing at a very fast pace.  I will admit, it has slowed a little bit in the last few months.

One of my last tablet posts, I believe I recommended the Asus Transformer Prime, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy as some of the top tablets.  At the time they were in the top five best tablets, and still remain some of the best tablets out.  There are (will be) three main players driving the tablet market, Apple, Google, and now Microsoft.  Apple has recently released the iPad 3 with a retina display, and that is simply hard to beat.  I personally have always been too cheap to buy Apple products, even though I like them a lot.  If they could ever find a way to lower their prices, they would probably take a huge market share from the rest of the players. Google has done very well putting their Android OS on just about every other tablet out there.  Some have said this is one of their mistakes, there is just too many versions of Android which makes it difficult to update all of these devices and keep them in sync.  Google just released a 7" tablet this month, the Nexus.  It sounds like a Samsung built tablet, but this is actually an Asus device.  It is Google's version of Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet...but much nicer!  It has the quad core cpu, eight core gpu, and the best part - Jelly Bean OS, the latest version of Android.  It has cut a few features, but this is to keep it affordable, $200!!!  I can't wait to get one of these tablets!  And where is Microsoft???  Well, they are getting ready to launch their first windows 8 tablet!  A few of us in the corporate world are very excited about this.  I have not seen the tablets in person, but I have been using Windows 8 Preview for quite some time on my laptop.  My biggest frustration is that I don't have a touchscreen to take advantage of the new OS features, so I am stuck in the "desktop" layout most of the time.  I can't wait to see the new windows 8 devices!

I mentioned the ultrabooks in a past post, these were the new laptops, a cross-breed between a tablet and a laptop.  The portability of a tablet, the power of a laptop, a perfect combo!  I think these will be a big hit, but they need a little more exposure.  The focus still seems to be on tablets!

Then we have the ever changing world of cell phones, and if you know me, that changes a lot!  Today, I give the crown to the Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean. This is a very conditional and temporary position however.  Let me explain, and also let me assure you, I do know what I am talking about.  I have owned nearly every version of iPhone and Galaxy phone, and owned or worked with MANY other various droids.  The conditions of the Nexus are two fold.  First, it has to be a working Nexus.  This phone shipped in December as the first Galaxy phone on Verizon and the first with Ice-Cream Sandwich android OS.  It was amazing!  The 4.6" screen was testing the limits, but was very comfortable and liked by all.  The contour is extremely unique, even today.  The problem is, it had an issue with its 4G radio.  Some people either didn't notice it, or just didn't seem to have the problem.  I went through three Galaxy Nexus phones.  I wanted to keep it SO bad, but when the data didn't work, it had to go.  The second condition is that it would have to have Jelly Bean to be the best phone out there.  The only way to get Jelly Bean right now is to root your phone.  This OS has some awesome features!!!  This will be a short-lived crown for the Galaxy Nexus.  The Samsung Galaxy SIII is out, and will soon have Jelly Bean to add to its features.  Once Jelly Bean is pushed out on these phones, it will be hard to top!  This is the phone I currently have.  It is a little buggy, but so far is quite impressive overall.  A 4.8 screen (Samsung is always pushing the limits!), ice-cream sandwich, and many other cool features added by Samsung make this one of the best phones I have ever seen!  I will add that I have also had the Galaxy SII while I was with AT&T and that was one of my favorite phones, ever!  Apple is getting very close to releasing the iPhone 5, and EVERYONE is expecting very big things, including me.  If it is not jaw-dropping, then there will be some major disappointment.  It is so hard to know what to expect as they are very secretive.  If it doesn't have a 4.6 retina display and 4G at the very minimum, they will be in trouble!  :)  I expect the iPhone 5 will be the biggest seller to date, and I expect it will be the #1 phone this year.  Up to this point, I have had all the way up to the iPhone 4s and would take a Samsung over the iPhone in a heart beat.  The screen size is enough by itself, but add 4G and ice-cream sandwich (and soon Jelly Bean) to sweeten the deal and it is a no-brainer.  I do miss the iOS on the Apple iPhone, much easier to use, but Android gets better all of the time.  Apple has quality hardware, and quality software.  Google puts their software on everything, and the biggest problem I have as an IT guru is supporting all of these different versions of hardware that all have different versions of the Android OS.  Google really needs to figure out how to push their software out to the phones rather than letting the carrier manage this.  Verizon takes an eternity to push out updates!!!  And for that reason, I am pretty disappointed in most of the other droid phones (Razr, Bionic, Rezound).  The old android OS is very frustrating coming from an iPhone background.  The Razr just received the Ice-Cream Sandwich update, so that was a big win.  After having the Galaxy phones though, the screen is just too small on the Razr.  I suppose I shouldn't close this conversation without mentioning that Microsoft is finally jumping into the game again.  They will soon have their windows 8 phones - I am quite excited about this!!!

Cell phone summary - Nexus is the best phone out when rooted with Jelly Bean installed, soon to be replaced by the Galaxy SIII with Jelly Bean, and certainly outdone by the iPhone5.  While S-Speak is a very lame voice control feature on the Galaxy SIII, the voice control in Jelly Bean is unbelievable!  I am expecting Siri on the iPhone 5 to blow us away!  And watch out for the Windows 8 phones, they will be a whole new experience! 

Lastly, keep your eyes peeled for "surface" communications.  Microsoft started working on this type of technology a long time ago, but do a search for corneware on youtube for this surface technology and see what is coming, it is going to change the way we communicate!  Whether we like it or not, things are headed into the "futuristic" worlds we see in the movies, like Minority Report.

The 12th Imam Mahdi

I have written many times now of the coming threat of Iran. We have heard for years about this and have not seen anything happen, so I think many of us have not been too concerned. It is time to pay close attention though, as Iran is much more dangerous than Iraq or Afghanistan. They present a huge threat to peace in the Middle East, and even a threat to mainland America.

They are Islamic radicals, religious zealots, and that is why they have become so dangerous. They will stop at nothing to bring about the prophecies of the prophet Muhammad. Islam has been waiting for the return of the last messiah, the 12th Imam Mahdi. But before he returns, certain conditions and circumstances have to be in place, and this IS that time. Many of the conditions needed for the return of the messiah are already satisfied, and the remaining conditions will be brought about by the Iranian and Yemen regimes. There were many things prophesied to happen before Imam's return, such as an uprising in Egypt and the ruler killed. Egypt had an uprising and the leader was ousted last year. There would be a nation in the East rising up with a strong army that would fulfill the prophecies to bring about this messiah, and right now Iran is building this army believing they are the chosen nation and this is the chosen time. There is a prophecy of a leader in Saudi Arabia named Abdullah, and ironically, their current "sultan" is the first ruler named Abdullah in 100 years. There are other prophecies related to other countries such as Yemen. But the most important prophecy to be fulfilled before their Messiah's return is the conquering of Israel and the destruction of Jerusalem. This is the primary goal of the current Iranian regime. They believe by wiping out Israel, they will soon see the coming messiah. This is not a power play, not a world domination game, these are religious zealots determined to see the 12th Imam Mahdi come in the very near future.

Israel knows this, and they will not in any circumstances allow Iran to get nuclear weapons. Everything has been done to avoid an all out attack on Iran, from killing nuclear scientists, to sanctions that are crippling the Iranian economy, to viruses that caused the centrifuges at the nuclear plant to spin out of control - buying the world about another year of time. But time has run out. Israel believes they only have a couple of months left to take out the Iranian nuclear plant before they have enough Uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. Israel is in a very bad place. The US is very strongly urging them not to strike Iran, but if they wait too long, they risk an even more dangerous situation - Iran with nukes. Another problem they face is they don't have the weapons needed to destroy the nuclear plant buried far beneath the earth's surface. The US recently developed the most destructive bunker buster ever built, over 30k tons I believe, which they are not sure it is even enough to get to the underground nuke facility. If Israel attacks, I believe we will see the US cooperate.

Meanwhile, Iran is doing their best to buy time. They allowed inspectors to come in and view their nuclear facilities this last week, all but the nuclear test site of course. They scored big when Russia and China vetoed U.N. sanctions. And they also instructed leaders to encourage more talks to mislead and buy time. They are building their armies and navies, they are mass producing weapons, they are testing new long-range technology. Their longest known missile can travel 1500 miles, but it is now believed they are working on a missle that will deliver payload at a much greater distance - which presents a great danger to much of Europe. And putting these weapons on their ships will mean extremely dangerous situations for the U.S.

Iran's supreme leader said this earlier this week: “In light of the realization of the divine promise by almighty God, the Zionists and the Great Satan (America) will soon be defeated....Allah’s promises will be delivered and Islam will be victorious.”

Despite whether Iran manages to fulfill any prophecy, this year is likely to bring bad news. There is nothing good coming out of this. We may stop Iran from getting nukes one way or another, but they certainly can hurt the world economy by blocking the straight, where 60% of the world's supply of oil travels through. The question is, do we want to deal with an Iran that has nuclear weapons, or do we want to deal with an Iran that has not developed nuclear weapons? And just how close is Russian and China to Iran anyway?

Valuable Lessons in Life

[Before I get too far, please understand my disclaimer. These are my thoughts and views, not always accurate, and certainly not meant to offend anyone!]

I have ventured down new roads recently and what an eye-opening experience it has been. It is one of those things you really can't understand until you have "been there, done that". While some of this may not be a big deal to most, there is something that struck me to my core, something much bigger than me. Now that I have given it such an introduction, you may laugh at what I am about to share with you - food! And it will take me a moment to get to my point.

A few months ago I came to the realization that my body was no longer handling the diet I was feeding it. I was extremely addicted to soda, and I loved nothing more than going out to eat. Whether it was lunch with my brother or dinner with my family, I never turned down a meal at the restaurant. Stepping on the scale reaching record numbers finally gave me enough motivation to stop drinking pop. I have done this many times before, and the furthest I would get was maybe a month, then I would continue on with my habit. This time I was serious however, and I did very well. I lost about 8lbs in the first month. Now that I had conquered this addiction, I was facing my terrible eating habits. Going out to lunch a couple of times a week, getting very unhealthy snacks, and on and on. If I took the time to write down everything I ate throughout the day, it would be a wonder that my body stayed alive. Seriously. Right at this time I had a health exam and really high blood pressure. The exam came back and proved what my body had been telling me - a very bad diet and high cholesterol. The Dr said I wasn't going to have a heart-attack today, but if I didn't take care of it very soon, I would have one "tomorrow".

Bare with me here...I am trying to get to my point...

So it was time to tackle one of my biggest struggles and begin a better diet. I started small, just eating healthier where I could, no more snacks, cutting back on butter, etc. Then I tried something drastic, a diet that cut out everything. For two weeks I had a fruit for lunch, and blended frozen fruit for dinner. I have never tried dieting of any kind, let alone something this drastic, but the lessons I learned from this crazy diet have changed my outlook on life.

First, I found out just how addicted to food we are and we don't even realize it. That first week of taking all of that food away was absolute torture! Every smell, every sight, every thought began to focus on the food around me as I was so "hungry". If you don't believe me, try it yourself. I was not starving myself by any means, I was simply breaking an addiction to food. At the end of that first week, my body calmed down and I was able to get through a day just fine on a salad or something small. I could go to a restuarant and not order anything, or maybe just eat a salad. My addiction had been broken and I ate small and healthy - and I felt amazing! In two weeks, 10 more pounds were gone. Long story short, I had a serious addiction to food, and I think many of us do and we don't even realize it. I can't believe how good I feel on a little fruit and vegetables! Two others did this with me and they both said the exact same thing.

Secondly, I realized something very important. As I went through that first week feeling desparately hungry, one of the hardest weeks of my life, it occurred to me that there are people out there who really ARE this hungry, to a much greater extent than what I was feeling. My wife went to Africa a year ago and she had the opportunity to see this in person. The children were living on the streets with no food (not streets like we have, these are slums filled with garbage and disease), some sniffing paint to help take away the hunger pains, others fighting over any portions they would get, and some so malnurished they simply died. It was a scene that words could not even describe. I just can't get the image out of my head. I chose to go hungry because my abundance was going to kill me, while they will die because they have no choice in their poverty.

We see the images on TV, we hear the stories, but most of us don't really give it another thought. I am writing this because we need to hear, we need to listen to the cries! Not to get "religious" on you, but this is truly at the heart of God. There are so many scriptures about the poor and hungry; one that comes to mind is to hear the cry of the poor, or your cry will not be heard. Another telling us to take care of the "least of these", the hungry, the sick...or you will not enter to eternal life. (Matt 25) It is not the act that gives us eternal life, it is the fact that being children of God, our heart becomes his heart, our will becomes his will - which is to love the poor and not ourselves. Where is our heart?

If you have not been outside of the United States, I'm sure this is foreign to you. We really can't understand our abundance until we have experienced what poverty looks like. You may not know this fact - if you own a car and have a house, you are in the top 95% (something like that) richest people in the world! You are filthy rich! I bet you had never thought about yourself that way. If you go to a place like Africa, I am pretty sure you will understand. In fact, if you are like me, you almost take offense at what I am telling you right now. Until we have either seen it for ourselves, or heard it from someone who has been there, I just don't think we can understand how incredibly fortunate we are in our abundance. We have too much, we eat too much, we are filthy rich! I could probably feed a child in another country for a month if I chose to go without a lunch one day.

I don't wish to condemn anyone, but how can we ignore the cries of the poor any longer? All you have to do is put your kids in the slums of Africa and you will quickly see what I mean. There are so many who are doing great things already, but the need is overwhelming. Let's support the poor in some way, let's take trips to Haiti, let's adopt an orphan! The first thing I hear from everybody is "why don't you just help someone that is in the United States?" I say "Amen! Let's do it!" But do you think "we" are doing it? And why focus on the other countries? Quite honestly, the poor in this country are rich compared to the poverty over seas. Yes, the need is so great all over the world, so much greater than the need in the United States. However, if you are so inclined, let's help someone in our backyard too!

Laptop Survivers

I recently posted my thoughts on the tablet market, saying they were certainly about to steal a huge chunk of the pc and laptop market. They are very light-weight, very portable, and fun to use. And for the majority of users who just do web surfing, email, and social media, tablets are a perfect interface for these users.

I will have to guess in the consumer world laptops will not be in near the demand as people begin to discover the tablets. Of course this will not be the case in the corporate world. As fun and as portable the tablets are, you are still limited in what you can do with them, so there needs to be a happy medium of a tablet sized device that can function like a laptop. That is what you will see in 2012! While many laptops will be forgotten during the tablet invasion, there is a laptop that will survive. You will see these laptops start flooding the market this year from every manufacturer (HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Sony, Dell). They are called ultrabooks. These ultrabooks pack the power and functionality of a laptop, but are very sleek and much more portable like the tablet. I suppose I can't finish this article without mentioning that Apple has already had a similar laptop on the market, the macbook air.

If you are looking at a laptop purchase, you had better check these out! [Here are a few to look at]

2012 in the Middle East

I have been using this blog to post topics I have been researching as I get time, and one of the things I try to keep a close eye on is the situation in Iran. 2012 is going to be a big year in the Middle East. We have been hearing about the Iranian threat for several years now and at times we thought we would even see an attack on Iran. At this time, there is no telling what will happen just yet, but it is pretty certain that something will happen in 2012.

Iran is the biggest topic in international security, and the biggest present danger. From the senate, to the nsa and cia, to the EU and United Nations, it is considered a grave threat to world peace. Former head of the CIA and the NSA says the Iranian nuclear program is on a trajectory that grows darker by the day.

The U.S. quickly enforced strict sanctions on the Iranian central bank toward the end of 2011 and penalties for any companies found doing business with them. This may have been the cause for Iran's recent decline in the value of their money, which recently lost 40% to the dollar! Unfortunately, no matter what sanctions have been thrown at them, Iran continues on a path to complete their nuclear ambitions.

Just this week the E.U. took major steps forward to an embargo on Iranian oil. They are very close to stopping any purchase of oil in Iran, which would not go unnoticed. Oil sales is figured to be about 60% of Iran's economic income, and Europe is a big chunk of that 60%. It is just not that simple though. With the European economy on the brink of disaster, cutting off it's oil supply from Iran would only deepen the already serious economic woes, especially with Italy, Spain, and Greece. If they were to stop purchasing from Iran, they would have to find alternative suppliers that would agree to work with them in debt ridden financial problems. The other problem with the embargo on oil from Iran is that there is evidence that Iran is already finding new buyers in Asia to make up for the lost business in Europe. There is a chance this plan would not do a lot of damage unless Asian countries such as China were to support the embargo.

Despite the outcome of these sanctions, there is a point where danger is immanent and something will have to be done. I believe as many others do, that we will see this happen in 2012. A French diplomat says we cannot do nothing. Every option will have to be considered in the face of serious and dangerous activity, and you choose the most effective options and make your stand. There are certainly no good options in this situation!

Another problem looming in all of this is that Iran is making threats of blocking the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation of these sanctions. A huge amount of oil passes through this strait; this could cause oil pricess to double which would likely cause much worse problems in the economy worldwide. That being said, there would be immediate action against Iran if they were to do this and they certainly would not hold it long. Iran made further threats to the U.S. if they were to move their carrier into the Strait of Hormuz, but the U.S. says this would be an act of war and they would respond. Iran quickly backed away. If Iran were to do this, the U.S. may use this as an opportunity to strike further into Iran, and even go after their nuclear facilities (according to one article I read).

One thing is certain, 2012 will be an interesting year. There is no way to ignore the looming dangers in the Middle East, and options outside of military action are waning away quickly as Iran nears completion of their nuclear program despite all attempts to stop them. And there certainly has been some incredible activity that we have not even heard about that has delayed Iran up to this point. Keep a close watch on the situation, it is getting very sensitive!
