Nuclear Armageddon: The Countdown
News Release Ken Welch.
Unbelievable as it seems, we face another year in which the imminent threat of Nuclear War for corporate profit outweighs all other issues. It is the last thing I expected, and the last thing I wanted to be reporting on. Worse yet, I have no reason to believe we can stop it this time. Houston, the only name ever given for the Oil Cartel that owns and operates the U.S. Government, refuses to give up it's 20-year effort to seize all remaining Middle East oil reserves, using taxpayer money and disposable soldiers.
They also have no qualms about using nukes to do the job, since they don't actually have to pay for them. Now that governments are simply "fronts" for corporate cartels, there is huge pressure to bring out the nukes and finally get some "good" out of them. At this point I should pause to give you essential background for this story. A nuclear blast in friendly territory, blamed on Iran and used as an excuse for nuclear war is a big pill to swallow. But this is, after all, the THIRD time these clowns have tried this stunt so most visitors to this site already have a pretty good grasp of the scenario. It is already known that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was planned long before 9-11. The made-for-television 9-11 extravaganza was actually used to prepare for the invasion of Iraq. When the U.S. finally did invade Iraq, many Americans who realized that the logic was wrong still consoled themselves with the idea that their government was actually moving to secure future supplies of oil for their benefit. Was there any benefit? No. Perhaps in the future? No. The U.S. government is not in the oil business. It doesn't pump, buy, sell or distribute petroleum products. Corporations do that. In Iraq today, after great sacrifice of lives and treasure, U.S. and other multinational corporations now have the opportunity to control and harvest that country's oil reserves. They will profit handsomely. You will not. You will, however, be asked to pay the bill.
The objective, which has been in the works for at least two decades, is to change the ownership of the entire non-allied Middle East, under the guise of religious warfare. After all, there must be some crazy reason why those Arab lunatics are allegedly so committed to "destroying our freedoms" while the Bush Neocon/Zionists pass law after law to actually take our freedoms and money away! As you can see, Iran is now pinned on both sides by Cartel-controlled forces, and is the remaining piece that needs to fall to create a solid block of Cartel-controlled territory from east to west. There is also the issue of immensely valuable pipelines that could route Russian oil all the way to the terminal at Haifa. In addition, if Syria is also destroyed or occupied, it would appear that our "Middle East problems" would reach a final solution.
You can also see that Iran is huge. The U.S. defense budget, after decades of corporate looting, simply cannot support enough troops and equipment to invade and occupy Iran in a conventional manner. Nuclear weapons must be used, and in sufficient quantity to completely destroy Iran's ability to resist invasion and occupation. The only barrier to this is the simple fact that the first country to use a nuke will be condemned by the whole world and ostracized forever. The obvious solution is to fake a nuclear attack, blame it on anyone you wish, and then use all the nukes you want.
Believe it or not, this has already been hard-coded into U.S. law, with Iran being the pre-designated target for nuclear devastation regardless of where the original nuke actually comes from! It could be a sneak attack by anyone, but Iran would still be destroyed, like with 9/11, Binladen/Al-Qaeda/Taliban/Iraq were blamed. Clearly the current owners of Iranian oil reserves are the only target the U.S.
is lusting to nuke. When you read this, keep in mind that Valerie Plame revealed the Niger paper fabrications by the Bush/Mossad administration and stopped their plans to plant WMDs in Iraq.
That's why a disgusted Bush/Cheney leaked her name so that she could foil any future such plans.
The Armageddon Time Line:
1) During the winter of 2005-6 the White House began to implement a plan known as Gambit, which involved the use of a portable Russian nuke to create a false-flag detonation at the oil terminal adjacent to Texas City, Texas. It is not known who actually purchased the nuke, but its arrival in Galveston Bay by ship was easily documented in RS. Tony Blair signed on to the Gambit plan for the U.K. in late November or early December.
The attack was scheduled for the 2006 Easter weekend, to give the vital impression of a sick religious motivation.
2) During February 2006, reversed speech practitioners found so many administration members thinking about Gambit that virtually all the details of the plan were revealed. In March, Ken-Welch.Com published an extensive report, including many of the speech reversals, and warned whoever would listen that the Easter Surprise was on the way.
3) The Texas City nuke was canceled with only a few days left to go before it was to light up the sky south of Houston. Since thousands of Internet users knew all the details in advance, there was really no other option. Reversed speech on Junior during the rest of April made it clear that it was the discovery of the plan via reversed speech which had led to it's cancellation. The Gambit device was removed and shipped to the Mediterranean.
4) During May we discovered a second part of the Gambit operation. In mid-April, when everyone would otherwise have been distracted by the Easter Surprise, the U.S. placed a nuclear weapons launcher in orbit, in clear violation of international law. An orbital launcher has no defensive value because it can be on the wrong side of the world when you need it. As a surprise offensive weapon it is superb. Since Junior was already making it clear that Iran was the next target, there was no question that nukes falling straight down over Iran were the intended follow-on to the Easter Surprise. When enough substantiating RS had been gathered, Ken-Welch.com published the orbital nuke report in June, the month that was originally chosen for the destruction of Iran.
5) During July we took a break and almost missed the fact that the Gambit plan had been recycled. All eyes were on the butchery taking place in Lebanon, with no one realizing the Israeli government had been bribed or otherwise coerced into providing an expensive stage for the next nuclear surprise. A Washington visit by Tony Blair, with speeches on July 28 revealing that the missing nuke would be used (presumably on Israeli soil this time) to trigger Armageddon seven days later. This was not found until several days had already gone by, and we published our Nuclear War Warning only two days ahead of the event.
6) The Armageddon Plot failed with the world being totally unaware of it's existence. The month of August was filled with grim meetings everywhere and Junior looked shaken and ill. RS revealed that the failure was earthshaking, and that two key events were responsible. First, something went wrong with the missile that was to launch the baby nuke into Israel, from a ship or a sub offshore. That the United States Navy was sufficiently corrupted to soil its honor with this phase of the operation (as they apparently did with 9-11), yet failed in some way, was clear. Second and far far worse, a roll of film was delivered, clearly showing a nuclear tipped Chinese missile set up within striking distance of Tel-Aviv. The Chinese threat was crystal clear, and the attack was canceled in its final hour. All of this was published here as each piece of information came in.
7) The Oil Cartel has more than enough money to buy anything it wants, but large organizations, including the Cartel's military arm at the Pentagon, can rarely move quickly. Knowing there would be ample time, Ken-Welch.Com changed its focus in the following months to exposing the basic fantasy underlying the Terror War: a phoney organization known as Al-Qaeda and the myth of Islamic religious terrorism. We exposed Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the false-flag beheading group supposedly led by the magical Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. We then explored countless propaganda videos showing the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and learned that virtually all of the attacks were carried out by U.S. mercenaries and military intelligence operatives posing as Arabs. All this was created and presented under the umbrella of what was supposed to be Al-Qaeda's much vaunted media operation, which Donald Rumsfeld had firmly told us was the enemy's most potent threat to our security and freedom.
8) Through normal news channels we learned that in late September China used one or more ground-based lasers to light up American orbital vehicles as they came within range. While no one knew if the laser(s) also had enough power to actually disable a satellite (or an atomic munitions platform), it was generally agreed that the operation generated precise measurement of the actual orbits. In the first week of January we learned that they had actually shot down, or otherwise destroyed a satellite of their own in a missile test designed to do exactly that. Considering the launch of the U.S. weapons platform only five months before the laser test, it seemed unlikely that these events were all unrelated.
9) Refusing to be distracted we zeroed in on Al-Qaeda itself with our February report on the Florida actor who plays the role of Wily Osama Coyote's second in command, Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri. This provided a bonanza of vital information. It totally exposed the true nature of Al-Qaeda as nothing more than a U.S. internal and external propaganda program. It fully corroborated the Armageddon Plot and the events of that terrible night in August when millions of lives hung in the balance. And finally, it exposed the role of the Houston-based controllers in a way that could finally be published. Our newsletter readers knew of this connection, but the countless reversals from Washington suggesting that it was actually Houston calling the shots were so fragmentary that there was no way to present them in a formal report and really prove the point.
10) After spending months digging into the Terror War, I knew it was time to return to a closer scrutiny of current events. I was curious to see if I could detect any reaction to our work, and Houston had had ample time to choose a new direction and put something in motion. My first hit came with a White House Saturday Radio Address broadcast on February 24th. It dealt with health issues (there's no money to pay for Baby Boomer entitlements), but underlying speech reversals indicated that Ken-Welch.Com had been an object of concern. It also contained a reference to something being "fused" the following weekend. I reported this to our newsletter readers and put a sound clip in our Donor Area. The hunt was on. Outside the Port Of Texas City This pretty much tells us most of what we need to know up front. Nuclear war for profit is only days away. If it happens, nothing will ever be the same. The failure of the Armageddon Plot last August has simply been shrugged off, and the plan has been recycled. The only missing piece is the intended target for the false-flag nuke that is necessary to kick it off. It raises a number of interesting questions that will surely be answered over the next month. What about the Chinese nuke that stopped the plan last year? Are there a bunch of Marines sitting on ships somewhere, doing daily radiation drills while they wait to stroll into a shattered Iran? The President of Iran is requesting to come to New York with a very large entourage. Will that trip figure in some kind of provocation? The false "Terrorist WMD" event we've been promised for so long will undoubtedly be here in the U.S., to maximize the impact of the Easter time frame. August's false-flag event was to occur in Israel, and the date chosen had vast significance from Jewish history, being acquainted with the destruction of the great Temple in Jerusalem. If it is a complete recycling, then the oil terminal at Texas City is a target again, but so far there is only one clue regarding location. That clue, however, refers to an "old port". Update: March 28, 2007 Events on the ground confirm that a massive attack on the Republic of Iran is imminent. Armageddon is definitely still on. In this update I'll provide a view of the news from the week that followed our initial posting above. The hot story from the Middle East is the 15 British marines who were arrested for being armed in Iranian waters. If you thought Muslims were supposed to be bloodthirsty you should see the responses from readers at many of the U.K. news sites! Many demanded that Iran be nuked immediately.
These, of course, are artificially planted; an inexpensive way to influence public opinion. The original story given to the press has some big holes in it, and in today's world of illusion one must learn to be very skeptical of anything you see on the networks. The British story is that six Iranian patrol boats entered Iraqi waters to kidnap the men while a British naval vessel, presumably equipped with surface radar, simply stood by and let it happen. Sounds pretty odd to me. I would expect that Iran, just as they have done for quite some time, will end up behaving in a perfectly civilized and reasonable manner. Regardless of the propaganda, they are not stupid. Now that governments are simply "fronts" for corporate cartels, there is huge pressure to bring out the nukes and finally get some "good" out of them. But no one dares be the first to use a nuclear weapon on human beings. There is only one way this can be done. Someone who already owns nukes must set one off in a way that can be blamed on someone else. Once that occurs, the gullible will be cheering when more nukes are used on the "bad guys," and our whole perception of nuclear weapons will change.
Nukes will suddenly become general-purpose tools, and the Bush Doctrine, that any country can be attacked and destroyed for any reason, will become the new standard in world affairs. This will be America's sad and final legacy to the world. During the past 60 days, top guns from the Bush Administration have done an amazing amount of travel, visiting key foreign capitols around the globe. You can review the itineraries and make a pretty good guess about the various countries that are now signed on to the Armageddon Train without their citizens' knowledge.
Watch For People Who Know Too Much - Operation Bite.
Last year, some insiders who were privy to the plan involving a nuke south of Houston just couldn't keep their mouths shut. The allure of being seen later on as particularly wise or credible is very strong. Before we published, we pretty much knew all the details of the plan. When those details appeared in the writing of, say, a senior staffer at a Washington newspaper, we knew we had found an insider who knew too much. The same went for professional disinformation agents who were pretending to tell the straight dope on the Internet. You know them, the ones who claim that real intelligence people are such blabbermouths that they are happy to tell this guy their in-house secrets so he can spread them all over the net?
Rense.Com, not exactly wedded to truth, refused to link to our report just as they always do, but then a few days ago published similar information, including the date, in a report by Webster Tarpley. This is an intriguing piece, and all the more so because it depends heavily on the main disinformation theme that Iran's learning to play with uranium is some kind of immediate threat to the planet. So the main thrust of it is that the U.S. will be taking out Iran's nuclear power facilities (as if we actually had a right to do so). Of course, we will also destroy a number of military facilities simply because we don't like their attitude!
Sadly, many Americans today will accept this as perfectly reasonable. The Tarpley story becomes even more fanciful when it claims the U.S. expects this operation to cause the people of Iran to revolt, tear their country into smaller pieces, and make them all U.S.-friendly. It also claims that the U.S. will use a few nukes simply to get the job done more efficiently, subliminally suggesting that the people of planet earth no longer object to the use of nuclear weapons on human beings.
However, it makes no attempt at all to explain why a Christian country would launch a nuclear war on a Muslim country on Good Friday. Of course, we believe that a false-flag attack here at home is intended to make it look the other way around; a story that might seem vaguely believable if Iran wasn't staring down the barrel of more firepower than was used in World War Two. This is a disinformation piece serving multiple purposes, and one of those purposes is to counter the report you are reading right now. The Russian story has now been blasted all over the net, far beyond the reach of this website. Many people will remember the Easter date and assume they needn't listen to any other stories that mention Easter.
They have also been assured that when we decimate Iran it will not be a naked grab for Iran's oil reserves by the Houston Cartel. Note that Tarpley names the source of the material, and he is the reporter and not the originator. I would assume that it comes from the same Russian propaganda office that runs "Sorcha Fal." Pysops operators are often overly impressed with their own cleverness. So I had to laugh when I saw that only a few days after we published the Bush reversal that Welch was "biting" at the Al-Qaeda hoax, the Russian team decided to say that the American attack plan was code-named "Bite"! Why are Russians involved in hiding the Armageddon details?
There should be little doubt that they've been fully informed of the real plan and signed off on it. We learned last week that stories about a payment dispute halting Russian work on the Iranian nuclear power project are actually a cover for the fact that Russian workers are being evacuated as quickly as possible. In fact, most of them are already gone. By the strangest coincidence, Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived in Moscow on Monday in what appears to be a rather hastily arranged trip to discuss Armageddon and its aftermath. Should China follow through with its commitment to protect Iran? If not, will Russia offer to make up the loss of oil supplies? They definitely have a lot to talk about! Russia stands to benefit greatly if the Houston-based Oil Cartel can finally get enough adjoining territory together to build the pipelines she needs to get her oil to international markets. A halt to oil shipments from the Persian Gulf means that the value of Russian oil, like everyone else's, will probably double immediately. That means Russia has a pretty good stake in turning Iran over to new owners.
Don't believe any stories you read about Russia opposing the U.S. over the situation in the Middle East. Israel To Annex Syria So many European diplomatic staffers have been telling Syrian officials their country is about to be attacked by Israel that World Net Daily, an unwavering purveyor of Houston's propaganda line, had to run a story downplaying the idea.
In fact, it appears that Israel's role in Armageddon has been upgraded since last year. Last July the Israelis were told to find some excuse for attacking Lebanon. This would set the emotional stage for Gambit, the false-flag nuke, and in the process they were to blow all but a handful of the country's roads and bridges. That would prevent opposing forces from interfering with the small but heavily armed U.S. force that was waiting off the beaches to dash across Lebanon the short way, west to east, and invade Syria through a relatively unprotected border. There is nothing left to bomb in Lebanon, and there are no longer any U.S. troops to use in Syria. All U.S. forces have been reserved for Iran this time.
So it was no surprise when I ran across a planted story on AFP* with the usual lack of names or confirmation, claiming that Israel was afraid that Syria was about to attack THEM. Why? No less than four imaginary military and government officials were claiming that "in recent months Syria has deployed hundreds, possibly thousands, of medium- and long-range rockets along the border with Israel." So at this point, all the Israelis have to do is dynamite someone's barn, and off they go on the road to Damascus. They have just completed war games on the Golan Heights, the most direct invasion route into Syria. * AFP is Agence France-Presse, oldest wire service on the planet, and like virtually all media these days, they print whatever they're told.
Germany A Target?
An accomplished disinformation agent appeared in Internet forums last week claiming that European military and intel people were all abuzz over the fact that Germany was to be the site of the next 9-11, and soon. The writing was very typical of similar fakes in the past. The most likely purpose is to mask heightened readiness status for U.S. forces in Germany. If you are in Germany and you accept the fake-out, you would assume any activity you see is because of increased fears of terrorism (white hat or black hat). Otherwise you might catch on that the Americans are preparing for heavy troop movements from Germany into Iran once a beachhead is established. Forces currently positioned for the attack on Iran are woefully short of ground troops and armor. Much more will be needed, if only to hold the oil fields while the population withers away from radiation sickness. If this information reaches anyone in Germany, perhaps they will let us know what they are seeing. Iran Surrounded, Censorship Begins How many aircraft carriers do you need to park side-by-side to scare off terrorists?
On Wednesday, March 21st, the P/R office aboard the U.S. aircraft carrier John C. Stennis reported that the ship had hosted a visit by the captain of the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which had just joined Stennis off Iran's southern coast. This was posted on two websites, Navy News Stand and Military Family Network. It would have gone unnoticed except that Debka Files picked it up and ran it the following day, creating significant interest on the net. Debka Files is a classic disinformation shop registered in Israel, but nonetheless fairly popular as a source of news from the Middle East. While they make the standard claim of having their tentacles into all sorts of unnamed intelligence circles, they simply glean their news from a large host of standard news sources and then add a heavy-handed spin of their own. Nonetheless, if you simply take the headlines and ignore the rest you can get a good grasp of the day's key stories related to the Middle East. Or at least the ones that the psyops people want you to see.
The De Gaulle story was spectacular because no one had imagined that another Carrier Battle Group would join the ring of steel that now threatens Iran. Although Debka was trying to play the story down by putting a reverse spin on it, they must have been told right away that this was news that was not supposed to get out. They quickly killed the report and stuffed the text into fine print in a different article. Now you would never know it is there. The arrival of a third carrier was also spiked on U.S. wire services. A search on Google News revealed that only one newspaper was nimble enough to pick it up, the small Reno Gazette.
The Chinese have 40,000 people involved in controlling the Internet. We get by with perhaps a quarter of that number and pull double duty: both inserting internal propaganda into every nook and cranny, and censoring valid news at the same. Why was the story stopped? Because it encouraged the reader to wonder just how many carrier battle groups there actually are off the Iranian coast. The annihilation of Iran will probably be dramatized as a knee-jerk, spur of the moment craziness. People are not supposed to wonder, after the fact, that all the pieces were in place long before the event.
The Eisenhower is in the Persian Gulf itself, so that makes three carrier groups plus the Expeditionary Strike Group centered around the Boxer. A second amphibious assault carrier, Bataan, is only a few days to the southwest. That makes five carriers all gathered in one tiny spot on the globe. Boxer, a carrier that uses helicopters and landing craft to put troops ashore, ran invasion exercises on beaches in India just before her recent arrival south of Iran. A fourth U.S. carrier, the Nimitz, cut short a refitting in San Diego not long ago for a rushed deployment to the Gulf. I thought she might be arriving also, but apparently this was not practical. A check of the amazing San Diego webcam shows her still at the dock today. Nimitz would be an appropriate replacement for Eisenhower which could easily be sunk in the first minutes of war.
The Persian Gulf is a very confined space, and Eisenhower faces Iranian anti-ship missiles at virtually point-blank range. Israel's Leaders Agree to Risk Tel-Aviv To me, the biggest news this last week was the answer to a puzzle. We know that last year the Armageddon Plot ran into a Chinese missile that stopped the whole thing in its tracks. Despite the propaganda drums that are trying to persuade everyone there is a huge crisis in the Persian Gulf right now, virtually nothing has happened in the Middle East since the August failure, and there certainly is no crisis.
The way I saw it last fall, Houston had to secretly find and disable the nuclear-tipped missile aimed at Tel-Aviv, or work some kind of side deal with the Chinese, guaranteeing that their oil contracts with Iran would still be honored after a takeover. There was never any indication of either of these actually happening, and I honestly expected that the Middle East would stay quiet for a long time. However, we heard from our RS on Cheney that Houston is desperate, and I guess they must be since we are off to war again. But what about the damned missile? This question was finally answered in news reported from Israel. In a March 18th Haaretz.Com article titled "U.S., IDF hold joint exercise on response to nuclear attack" we learn that the two countries have simply decided to gamble that incoming nukes can be shot down before Tel-Aviv vanishes in a nuclear fireball. U.S. anti-missile batteries and their sister units in the I.D.F. set up their communication links last week to mesh their computers together for maximum effect.
The I.D.F. will use the older Patriot PAC-2 system and their new "Arrow" system, apparently rushed to completion after last year's discovery. The U.S. is described as "testing" a new Patriot PAC-3 battery, along with something called a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system. The latter name has a sound of desperation to it, like something you might try when all else has failed. Information is that it was designed for the lumbering SCUDs of the original Gulf War. It's a nasty situation since there may be more incoming nukes than the one whose photo was handed to Bush last year.
If China continues to protect her business partner, these will be modern, Russian designed systems, perhaps even a version of the Sunburn which is frightening indeed. New missiles are designed with the other side's defenses in mind, and they come very, very fast. In the long run, it's a contest between two opposing design and programming teams who've never actually fought except on paper. Perhaps Israel's government has concluded that they are "feeling lucky" this year since they weren't lynched after the Lebanon debacle. However, they are going through the motions to demonstrate that they care about their population.
The Home Front Command held a nationwide drill last week simulating incoming missiles that could cause such things as a "mass casualty event" in Tel-Aviv. News releases specifically referred to missiles rather than rockets, a serious difference. Sirens were sounded throughout central and southern Israel to kick off the drill. When Israelis hear the sirens next time, they will have just enough time to jump into the nearest ditch and say a quick prayer. Update: Good Friday, April 6, 2007 This update, which may be the last before the big event, returns to reversed speech as the information source, with examples gathered during the last week all confirming that an Easter Surprise is still in the works.
Propaganda media have been deluged with stories suggesting the attack on Iran will not come until the end of April and that it will be limited to a strike on the civilian nuclear power program. Most cite the usual "anonymous sources" which clearly separates official disinformation from actual news. Besides creating confusion, there is an obvious benefit. Experts say Iran's nuclear power program could produce a nuclear bomb by the year 2015 if they went all out. But Houston is pushing stories that are becoming increasingly hysterical, with a working bomb available next year, or even right now. These stories provide a handy excuse for the fact that military force is being concentrated for an attack. Then, when the false-flag trigger event occurs, fewer people will wonder that our massive and overwhelming response was already in place.
No doubt you have noticed the rise in gasoline prices over the last month or so. They have been increasing at twice the normal seasonal rate, with no increase in demand or restriction in supply to account for the rise. Once again we are seeing pre-event hoarding as refiners and distributors anticipate the disruption in supply that war will bring. The prompt return of the 15 U.K. sailors and marines was a definite coup on the part of Iran. Blair also benefited by appearing statesman-like and RS showed that as a politician he appreciated this. However, my suspicion that his administration might have engineered the event was apparently wrong. Blair was definitely caught by surprise and actually felt powerless to correct a situation which he felt was simply "madness." While many "news" sources are implying that behind the scenes efforts secured the release, RS on Blair indicated he was willing to let the situation continue for at least another week, at which point we believe it would have been submerged by much more critical matters. My friend Strider has been monitoring the U.S. Secretary of Defense and I just received a CD with huge number of reversals. Naturally, our focus is on finding the location of the false-flag event, which we expect to be the "next 9-11" that will kick off the attack on Iran. Unfortunately, SecDef Gates does a pretty good job of concentrating on the topic at hand, which lately has been the military's need for a great deal more funding. We also learned that he wants to begin a forced draft and we should begin seeing news articles hyping this.
The U.S. cannot handle a long term occupation of the entire Middle East for the Houston Oil Cartel with the manpower currently available. In a March 22nd press briefing he was asked about the Nimitz carrier group which was preparing for redeployment to the Persian Gulf, and if this meant an increase in the number of carriers that would be stationed there. His response that Nimitz was a routine replacement was not denied by the RS, but a reversal clearly stated that deployments were not over, and a reference to "blowing out Florida" was pretty interesting. I had received a note around this same time from a supporter in Florida saying that during the hours of darkness air bases near Pensacola were launching aircraft continuously, about one a minute. Obviously, the naval build up has now been augmented by a huge number of land-based aircraft, and the unprecedented massing of firepower makes it clear that the total destruction of Iran and the seizure of its oil reserves is the actual objective and not simply an attack on a few facilities. Gates has also told reporters and the Congress that getting involved in another war would mean that our military would have to stay in Afghanistan and Iraq for a much longer period of time.
