Fidel Castro Warns of Nuclear Holocaust and People Say "Yeah Right..."

Fidel Castro addressed the Cuban National Assembly for the first time since taking ill four years ago, and warned of an imminent nuclear war that will kill millions, and said the world needs to pressure Obama to avert the disaster.

Yes, he said the similar thing in June, too. But the reaction to his address?

"That's just for domestic Cuban politics." Or "He loves TV."

I sure hope so.

Fidel Castro Goes Live With Warning of Nuclear Holocaust
(Marc Frank, 8/7/2010 ABC News)

"Former Cuban President Fidel Castro warned today of imminent nuclear war and said the world's fate was in President Barack Obama's hands, as he addressed the Cuban National Assembly for the first time since taking ill four years ago.

"Castro said the most recent U.N. sanctions on Iran will trigger a nuclear holocaust if the United States inspects the country's ships come September, as called for in the June resolution.

"Only world pressure on Obama can avert the conflagration that will bring all major economies to a standstill, he said.

""In this critical situation President Barack Obama is the one who will have to give the order for this so-often announced and proclaimed attack," Castro said, calling on world leaders to weigh in with the U.S. president before it's too late.

"... Does anyone believe the powerful empire will back away from the sanctions' demand that Iranian merchant vessels be inspected?" Castro asked on Saturday.

""Does anyone think the Iranians, a people with a culture of thousands of years and which is much more intertwined with death than ours, will lack the courage we have shown in resisting the demands of the United States?" he continued, predicting Iran would respond to inspections by sinking the U.S. fleet and events would then quickly spiral out of control.

"The June sanctions call for Iranian ships to be searched if the country does not comply in 90 days with world demands it come clean concerning its nuclear activities.

""I doubt Fidel believes what he is saying. He is being dramatic, trying to stay relevant," a European diplomat quipped.

""The question we all have is what this means in terms of Cuba's domestic politics," he added." [The article continues.]

Fidel Castro is not alone in warning Obama. The Steering Group of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) sent a memorandum to Obama warning that Israel may bomb Iran as early as this month. (More on that and Israel's sovereign capture and arbitrage strategy, read my August 4 post.)

The video below is an interview of former US army colonel Ann Wright with Russia Today:

Connect the Dots

Shall we?

On Tuesday I posted: Third US Fleet Is Now in Persian Gulf: "from June 6 through June 10, the USS Harry S. Truman carrier Strike Group was deployed 50 miles of the shore of southwestern Israel, secretly drilling the interception of incoming Iranian, Syrian and Hizballah missiles and rockets against US and Israeli targets in the Middle East."

Then on Wednesday, Iran on war alert over "US and Israeli concentrations" in Azerbaijan: "Other Iranian sources report that in the last few days, Israel has secretly transferred a large number of bomber jets to bases in Azerbaijan, via Georgia, and that American special forces are also concentrated in Azerbaijan in preparation for a strike."

Back to Georgia. Three years in a row.

You may recall (or may not, as it was just casually mentioned in MSM), Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites: "Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal." "“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area."

And Fidel Castro warns of possible clash between Israel, Iran: "Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said he believes a clash between Israel and Iran is looming and that the United Nations and the United States would "have no way to change the course of events."" "In an article entitled "On the eve of the tragedy" published on Wednesday, Castro warned that Iran "will not bow to threats from Israel" and will not be resigned to the "unequal treatment" that would result in further sanctions over its nuclear program."

But then, this "attack may be imminent" scenario has repeated every summer for the past two years...
