Nicaraugua and Costa Rica? No End Times likelihood until we sell the GPS system to Google as a GOP budget balancing measure...

Or this.

Didn't Switzerland and Leichtenstein do something like ther 18 mos. - 2 years ago?

Inaccurate maps at issue there as well as I recall.

There is somewhat a bit more to it, this "starting the end times" business. F'rinstance, the latest thing in the buzz about the Big Picture is the presentation of the 'organization structure' flowchart with names and positions and roles involved in an actual honest-to-goodness conspiracy, (in that 'a' group or 'the' group of people got together in the same room to talk and plan), to bankrupt 'society' - the home foreclosures going's-on is part of it 'they' instigated and control, deliberately. The 'B.Picture' and 'Operations' of the conspiracy is in a movie Inside Job.

The radioactive rabbit(s) breeding along the Columbia from Hanford on downstream -- is a mind-piquing story. The sale of a Chunnel train is also mind-piquing.
But there's a mind-alarming story about a radioactive train: CASTOR, crossing Germany now, (Nov. 6 apparently), and 1000s of protestors digging away the roadbed under the tracks - tracks fail - stop train.

Here's the news as of Nov.7, 08:00 GMT. Links to German news reports, and a summary in English. This material is in the Chat Room at Wayne Madsen Report. COM (subscription req'd), and in there it is known there are some Mr&Ms BIGs from CIA and NSA (and other 3-letter Departments and Bureaus), (think: Valerie Plame), who work 'paying jobs' assigned as trolls for that particular website -- information monkeywrenchers. So every Comment is suspect. Suspected of what?, it's hard telling. See (and judge) for yourself what a couple of Comments show, a little peek (Copy-n-Paste the links):

Castor just passed through Karlsruhe - police used pepper spray and batons to beat up 150 protesters. But it is in transit right now and has not reached the lots of protesters so far. www.focus.de/politik/schlagzeilen/nid_56761.html

German media calls CASTOR "Chernobyl on wheels".

The Drama in Deutschland continues. Greenpeace dropped themselves off a bridge on ropes onto the CASTOR convoy. In Hessen (Frankfurt is in Hessen), people sat on the railway tracks and blocked progress for an hour until police carried them off. 150 beat up with night sticks. A group calling itself CASTOR SChottern vows to remove rocks from the train tracks to destabilize the tracks by tunneling under. Merkel said there will be consequences. They said they will go through with it and this train will not pass. Meanwhile, just breaking news - Greenpeace took remote recordings which showed a significant heating of the axle of train containers 6, 7 and 8 - due to radioactivity. They are warning that the train is unstable due to the heating of the train components. German celebs are in support of "schottern" - the destruction of train tracks. This thing is not in Gorleben yet. They are determined to tear up the tracks and there is an unstable seriously hot and radioactive axle across 3 containers. Protesters clobbering 18,000 cops with rocks, glass bottles and dirt.

I suppose being fluent in a few different languages is helpful for someone watching world events. Or news items can be fed through a translation website.

But, let me point our attention (again) to Wayne Madsen Report .COM by way of introducing what 'WMR' means, which appears in the following report by Wayne. This is IMMENSELY on-topic, or maybe easier to mentally picture it as 'behind'-topic, the backstory. The bottom photo (from the report) is from some jungle enclave entrance in Central America (purportedly), offered here for those nitpickers who prefer 'evidence' and 'documentation' of news claims, and Bitajon-Shar is explained in the report.

This is a 'short' report, by WMR standards, and if you enter it with excess 'prejudicial' baggage in a closed mind that you're not ready to let go of, I'm unsure whether you can endure to read through to the end ... of even a 'short' report.

The report includes some context (Reagan's 1980s Contras, e.g.), but in the history of the area farther back (1900-1930) it is common knowledge that this coastline is banana plantations and the source of United Fruit Co.'s (and Chiquita's and Dole's) 'Big Bucks' that influence a Big lot of political sway in D.C.

(At Amazon, see: 'Bananas: How the United Fruit Company Shaped the World,' by Peter Chapman, [Canongate, 2007].)

Costa Rica (translated: 'rich coast') and the banana money, (later from contraband smuggling), ties in as a little piece in the Big Picture about an ongoing conspiracy to bankrupt 'society.' Small-scale 'border incursions' and cross-border 'brush wars' do NOT accidently ignite "end times."

Maybe not "end times" but probably billions of dollars are hanging on the activities at Nicaragua's borders, on the north with Honduras and on the south flank with Costa Rica.

November 2-3, 2010 -- U.S. ratchets up Contra War II against Nicaragua

Borrowing its war plan against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua from Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, and Oliver North, the Obama administration has given a green light to two neighbors of Nicaragua -- Costa Rica and Honduras -- to ratchet up tensions on their borders with Nicaragua.

On October 18, 2010, WMR reported: "Costa Rican police and DIS personnel are allegedly involved in the cross-border [drug] trafficking. Currently, a Colombian bank is being used to buy up land along the Costa Rican-Nicaraguan border ostensibly for "tourist" purposes but the $2 billion project is designed to establish staging areas for renewed Contra warfare in Nicaragua if the Sandinistas remain in power beyond the 2011 election. The US private military contractor Dyncorp is also involved in providing assistance to the Contras using the cover of 'humanitarian assistance.'"

On October 28, Nicaragua accused Costa Rica of staging cross border raids by Costa Rican paramilitary police into Nicaraguan territory. Costa Rica has been warning Nicaragua against dredging the San Juan River inside Nicaraguan territory. Costa Rica, which fancies itself as an ecological "green haven," claims the dredging of the river is causing environmental damage. But as WMR previously reported, Costa Rica, which is backed by George Soros "civil society" agents of influence, as well as Israeli intelligence agents, is trying to paint Nicaragua as an aggressive destroyer of the environment.

On November 1, Costa Rica claimed that Nicaraguan troops had taken up position on Calero island in the San Juan River and which is claimed by both countries. Nicaragua claims that its troops are in the area to control drug trafficking from Costa Rica, which WMR previously reported involved Costa Rican police and inteligence personnel. In a statement published by The Washington Post, Nicaraguan Army chief of staff General Julio Aviles confirmed WMR's previous report stating the drug trafficking from Costa Rica is controlled by an ex-patriate Nicaraguan family operating from San Jose, the Costa Rican capital.

WMR has also learned that the paramilitary operatives operating out of Costa Rica, including CIA and Mossad agents, are now looking at extending their destabilization operations into El Salvador, now governed by the leftist Farabundo Marti Liberation Front government of President Mauricio Funes, an ally of Ortega in Nicaragua. The tactic being used by the Chinchilla-Lieberman regime in San Jose is the same as that being used against Nicaragua: flood El Salvador with cocaine to increase drug gang warfare and instability.

Most of the drug smuggling from Costa Rica into Nicaragua and El Salvador is being conducted by Russian-Israeli mafiosi figures operating under diplomatic cover at the Israeli embassy in San Jose. Others officially operate in San Jose as "Russian Martial Arts" trainers, however, they are actually Israeli Defense Force "Krav Maga" trainers.

One of the Mossad suspects, (now wanted by INTERPOL, in the assassination of a Palestinian official in Dubai) was susoected of making death threats and engaging an an attempted kidnapping in Costa Rica but the Costa Rican government declined prosecution. The Israeli suspect's false identity in the Dubai assassination is Kevin Daveron, born 2/2/1972, Ireland Passport 980975, alias Jonathan Lewis Graham (stolen identity from a United Kingdom passport).

Ex-Israeli commandos operating in Costa Rica with the blessing of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman (not known to be a relation to Costa Rica's pro-Zionist Vice President Luis Lieberman Ginsburg; Avigdor hails from Moldova while Luis is of Polish descent) operate under the cover of the Mossad-linked security firm Bitajon Shar, which has been connected, according to WMR's Central American sources, to the destabilization efforts on the Costa Rican borders with Nicaragua and El Salvador.

Bitajon Shar has also been described as a Mossad pass-through to infiltrate Israeli security personnel into the counter-narcotics apparatuses of Colombia and Mexico, as well as Costa Rica.

On October 18, WMR reported on the Israeli involvement with drug smuggling into Nicaragua: "In Honduras and Costa Rica, customs officials now look the other way as Israeli private security personnel, mostly ex-Israeli commandos, guard half length trucks without license plates that are moving drugs and weapons from Honduras and Costa Rica into Nicaragua to support the new Contras gearing up to fight the Sandinistas prior to next year's election. Key border crossing points for the Israelis are in the Peñas Blancas National Park of Costa Rica and Cardenas, Nicaragua on Lake Nicaragua. The Penas Blancas area was a hotbed of Contra activity during the Reagan administration's secret war against Nicaragua. On the Nicaraguan-Honduran border, an ex-Contra named 'Comandante Jahob' is planning to start an armed conflict against Nicaragua if Ortega does not leave office next year. Commandante Jahob, whose real name is José Gabriel Garmendia, is reportedly acting along with CIA and Mossad commandos in Honduras and with the knowledge of the Honduran (coup d'etat) regime imposed by the Obama administration last year. Old CIA bases in Honduras that once supported the Contras in the 1980s, are reportedly being reactivated."
