Crossfire War: Iran - Satellite was Scheduled for Launch this Summer from Iran
By Willard Payne
Night Watch: TEHRAN- On January 5, 2004 Reuters reported that Iran’s Defense Minister Adm. Ali Shamkani announced that Iran was due to launch a locally made satellite within 18 months.
Shamkani said, "Iran will be the first Islamic country to go into space with a locally produced satellite and launch pad system." Significantly he gave no details on the type of satellite.
In 1987 U. S. Defence Secretary Casper Weinberger stated, at a press conference, that laser can be used to set cities on fire and that the Soviet Union was testing it somewhere in the Middle East. He did not say where so I assumed Afghanistan.
That same year he resigned, the year of the Iran-Contra Scandal. Weinberger, who was previously Chief Counsel for Bechtel Group, may have disapproved of the U. S. and Britain agreeing to invest in Iran’s war effort. The following year CBS News Radio, WBBM Chicago, mentioned Secretary of State George Schultz was holding secret negotiations with Iran in order to guarantee an American position in Iran after the death of Khomeini.
That began the planning of the Gulf War, which was used to damage Iraq’s military. The day after the war ended CNN showed Becthel’s London branch office in Hyde Park invited to Iran. Schultz used to be President of Bechtel.
At the same time the Soviet Union was dissolved and the news would mention, all during the early 1990’s, that a lot of Russian scientists went south. Everyone knows the Jihad pays well. In 1996 I first go online and get Reuters who mentioned that Iran is involved in laser research.
The 18 months ended this summer. If it is a laser then it might be first used against India. Interestingly enough in late March 1971 I have a dream in which I see the John Hancock building, in downtown Chicago, hit by a beam. Hopefully it was only a warning about what could possibly happen and not an absolute certainty.
