Want to know where it's all heading? World War 1 begin after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was
assassinated.
His
assassination
was a major
contributing
factor to the
first World
War
starting.
The Archduke
and his wife
were in their
car in
Sarajevo, the
Bosnian
capital.
His driver had
apparently
taken a
slightly wrong
turn. The
driver
realising
this, then
stopped to
reverse
direction,
unfortunately
in front of
one of the
members of an
assassination
conspiracy to
eliminate
Ferdinand.
Shots were
fired from
short range,
and the
Archduke and
his wife both
died shortly
after.
The
assassination
was then the
final straw
for
Austria-Hungary,
who were
already
unhappy with
Serbia over
previous
disagreements.
When Serbia
rejected some
of
Austria-Hungary's
demands, the
A-H Empire
declared war
against Serbia
on July 28,
1914. Russia
and France
were obligated
to mobilize
their armies
if any of the
Triple
Alliance
mobilized
(Secret Treaty
of 1892), and
so they chose
their sides
and joined the
War.
The bottom
line is that
the World War
I was
triggered by
the Archduke's
assassination.
It is,
however,
highly likely
that some
other event
would have
triggered a
European War
had it not
been for the
assassination.
Difficulties
within Europe
were mounting
and tension
was generally
high, and
rising.
I've written it in the past, I
think UK's
Prime Minister
David Cameron
fulfills a major passage that the Prophet Daniel saw-
Daniel 11:20
Then shall stand up
in his estate
a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom:
but
within few
days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
The peace that UK's
Cameron helped
broker, disintegrates.

The Asian market plays
a major
economic role
for countries
of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
As a group, they export three and a half times as much to the
Japanese,
Korean, Indian
and Chinese markets than to
the European
Union (EU27)
and the United
States
combined (€203
billion
compared to
€58 billion,
in 2010).
Japan is both
the oldest and
most important
Asian partner.
It
is the
lead market
for oil
and the
main destination
for LNG.
Geographically
speaking, Asia
is also the
top
destination of
LNG produced
in the Persian
Gulf. At the
same time,

companies have
strongly

of the Gulf
States through

transfers.

is a major
market for oil
and gas exports
from the Gulf.

Iran uses tankers off Malaysia
to
evade oil
embargo
09.13.12
LABUAN,
Malaysia --
Iran is using
a little-known
port off the
East Malaysia
coast to hide
millions
of barrels of
oil from Western sanctions, according to shipping data,
industry
sources and
officials.
An
examination of
shipping
movements and
interviews
shows how
Iranian crude
is shipped to
the area and
loaded on to
empty vessels
at night to
await
potential
Asian buyers.
Storing the
oil on hired
tankers off
the port of
Labuan, a
financial
center about
the size of
Manhattan,
means Iran can
keep its fleet
active and
ensure the
flow of oil
money into its
struggling
economy.
Several more
Iranian
vessels were
steaming
toward Asia.
No-man’s

Less
than 6.2 miles
from the coast
of Borneo,
Labuan is
sheltered from
typhoons and
is typically
used to park
unwanted ships
rather than
store
expensive oil.
People in the
industry say
this makes it
an ideal place
to blend or
rebrand oil as
non-Iranian
and resell it
under the
radar of
sanctions
enforcers in
Washington or
Brussels.
"Labuan
is like a
no-man's land.
There's no
reason to be
paying
attention to
Labuan," said
a
Singapore-based
source
