The BTC pipeline, takes Caspian crude from Azerbaijan through Georgia to the Turkish port of Ceyhan, where it is loaded on tankers for the international market. Russia wants to control it, but TURKEY will not sit by and let this critical "Energy Conduit" fall out from their control. SEE Page 249 in The Epiphany Deception!

8/15: To understand why this Armada of ships is heading to the Middle East, I recommend an excellent site hosted by Rt. Hon. Lord of Stirling. He pulls together much information that is very insightful. The US Navy denies this of course, but the recent War Games, "Operation Brimstone" in the North Atlantic indicate otherwise.

Once again, it is not just who owns the Oil, but who controls the "Flow" of oil to the world.
See the latest reports on Turkey's plan to invade Northern Iraq and how it affects the price of crude.

"Turkey and its decades-long fight with Kurdish separatists boiled over into the energy markets this week, sending world crude-oil futures to record highs.
Neither Turkey nor the rebel Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) owns any oil."

A current article is very insightful.

Turkey continues to become the major energy hub for the EU and the US.


In the Book, chapter 37, specifically pages 238-239, the premise put forth is that Turkey will become the strategic energy hub for most of the world.
UPDATE - August, 2007

In the Epiphany Deception, the importance of the BTC Pipeline that goes through Turkey is becoming a vital link to global energy. A current article is very insightful.
Turkish Daily

Brief:
"Oil exports from Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan reach 26.1 mln tons in 14 months. Nearly 26.1 million tons of oil was exported in 14 months through. Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) crude oil pipeline, which constitutes the most critical leg of the East-West energy corridor. Can Hulusi Suphi, BP's Exploration & Production Director for Turkey, stated that the rapidly growing need for energy in the globalizing world shaped not only the economies but also the political strategies of the countries. Suphi underscored that BTC pipeline's importance could be perceived better when looked from this perspective.

JULY UPDATE

More Ships on their way to the Persian Gulf! Four warships in the USS Enterprise carrier's strike group depart Norfolk Naval station Monday, July 9: the guided missile destroyers Arleigh Burke, Stout, James E. Williams and Forrest Sherman, as well as three more ships - with 7,500 sailors in all aboard. The US forces are growing in their planned assult against Iran. DEBKAfile's military sources reported June 29 that the Enterprise CVN 65-Big E Strike Group will join the USS Stennis and USS Nimitz carriers, building up the largest sea, air, marine concentration the US has ever deployed opposite Iran.


JUNE UPDATE:A third US carrier, the nuclear-powered USS Enterprise Strike Group is speeding towards the Persian Gulf!
According to DEBKAfile's military sources, the US naval build-up off the shores of Iran marks rising military tensions in the region, accentuated by last week's Hamas victory which has endowed Iran with a military foothold on Israel's southwestern border. The USS Enterprise CVN 65-Big E Strike Group, the US Navy's largest air carrier, will join the USS Stennis and the USS Nimitz carriers, building up the largest sea, air, marine concentration the United States has ever deployed opposite Iran. This goes towards making good on the assurances of four carriers US Vice President Dick Cheney offered the Gulf and Middle East nations during his May tour of the region.

A number of readers have asked about the reality of a RDD (Radiological Dispersal Device, aka as Dirty Bomb, being used by terrorist factions in the US. Read page 137 in the Epiphany Deception.

"The dirty bomb combines a conventional explosive, such as dynamite, fuel or fertilizer, with a radioactive material. This is not a nuclear bomb because there is no energy created from fusing or splitting an atom. The power of this dirty bomb is to create a massive conventional explosion that disperses the radioactive particles into a wide pattern. It is the widespread panic and fear along with the radioactive contamination that makes this low-cost bomb so terrifying. Cesium-137 can be normally used in the medical field to destroy cancerous cells in the human body. This radioactive element has a half-life of 30 years so as the isotope "decays" from its radioactive state, the isotope emits gamma radiation. These waves of ultra-high electromagnetic energy, while not as dangerous as the heavier, alpha particle emitted by uranium, travel further, and are extremely difficult to contain. One unique characteristic of cesium is that it is the most reactive radioactive metal. In its natural state, cesium is always found combining with other elements. The isotope becomes easily attached to bricks, roofing materials, concrete, and soil. If it were to be dispersed by a powerful explosion along with prevailing winds, an entire city could be contaminated. Once a city's buildings and structures are contaminated, it becomes nearly impossible to cleanse the radioactive cesium off. The dirty bomb does not cause a large area of destruction, but creates an immense area of disruption. In the blink of an eye, a once thriving city can be transformed into a "dead zone" for decades."



Here is one current reference from the Telegraph - UK regarding this threat- more

A number of readers have asked about certain weapons that are mentioned in the book. Here are two current references from Jane's Defense Weekly regarding the military's demand for Armed - UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Read page 105 in the Epiphany Deception.

Not only can the Military make them small,,,they also can make then BIG! Read about this newest "killer" to the USA military: MyWay.com

UPDATE: (06/10/07) UAVs not only can target terrorist but can also destroy ballistic missiles! WASHINGTON-The Defense Department could examine a previous Israeli-U.S. program designed to destroy ballistic missiles in their boost phase of launch. A study by the Marshall Institute, "The Cruise Missile Challenge: Designing a Defense Against Asymmetric Threats," said the proposed system could be used to detect and destroy incoming cruise missiles. "One option is the outfitting of a long-loitering UAV with interceptor capabilities, as was envisioned for the Raptor-Talon program for ballistic missile defense in the early 1990s," stated the report, authored by Jeff Kueter and Howard Kleinberg. "Such a system has the advantage of long loitering capabilities, long-range sensing and increased weapon ranges." The Israeli-U.S. program was canceled in 1993 and the Talon missile interceptor was never built. But the Raptor high-altitude, long-endurance UAV flew as part of NASA programs.
"This is another option for consideration if cruise missile defense of the homeland becomes a persistent mission," the report said. Israel has also developed anti-ship cruises. The report cited the Gabriel, with a range of 200 kilometers, and the Harpy anti-radiation UAV. The report said Israel has developed the Eitan UAV with sufficient range and endurance to detect and track enemy ballistic missiles. The Eitan was large enough to be equipped with missiles that could destroy enemy launchers, the report said.
The Eitan has an endurance of 50 hours and a maximum take-off weight of 5,000 kilograms. The UAV, with a wingspan of 26 meters, was developed by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries and based on the Heron medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV. "Significantly, a weapon system very closely matching this configuration has recently been revealed to be under advanced development by Israel," the report said. "Designed primarily for boost-phase defense against ballistic missiles such as Iran's Shihab-3, this new BMD UAV could have applications to future cruise missile and homeland defense architectures."
USAF seeks 'hunter-killer' UAS technologies
The US Air Force (USAF) has issued a contract notice seeking technologies for a new multirole 'hunter-killer' unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).The Air Force Research Laboratory - the branch of the USAF in charge of the project - declined to enlarge on the details of the 19 April notice, adding that it was too early in the development process to do so.
Loitering with intent: armed aerial vehicles provide fire on demand
Loitering munitions have once more caught the military imagination, given their potential for providing a precision strike capability against time-sensitive targets in both deep and close battles. The concept of having armed sacrificial aerial vehicles orbiting over the battlefield under remote or autonomous control in wait for opportunistic targets is not entirely new, there being forerunners already in service, notably in the air force domain.
