This month I thought I’d conduct an interview with one of our many contributors, Sean Osborne. Many of you already know him from his postings at various forums throughout the internet’s political arenas. He has contributed information and news to forums such as Anomalies.net, Free Republic, his own site NEIN, and more recently our current site here, Trans-Asian Axis.com which is a sister site to Anomalies.net. Sean not only has an extensive military background but also an in-depth knowledge of the bible. This is especially so when considering the Tribulation and end times. Not to mention that he is one of my most trusted friends in this world.
Sean and I first met at Anomalies.net, which is basically how we all met as a group here. He’s very passionate about his beliefs and is one of those men you read about or even meet occasionally that people tell you they are willing to die for. But with that comes those that are attracted to him in a negative way. We’ve all encountered what we call Trolls, but Sean can bring one to the forefront of a forum in less time than it takes most of us to find our car keys of a morning. This has often proven to be a valuable asset in our constant vigilance to keep the peace within the forums. So even his negatives prove to be positives most of the time. And really… You just have to love a guy who drives a beefed up golf cart armed with a .50 cal machine gun! (Just look at his profile).
Today we’re going to explore some of the ideas and beliefs that help define Sean, along with how they inter-connect to the Trans-Asian Axis. Now ‘help define’ doesn’t mean ‘makes up completely’. Like all people, Sean too is multifaceted. The definition we search for here is opinion. Opinions on the Trans-Asian Axis to be more exact. And so I have asked Sean ten questions on subject matter he is familiar with and is in keeping with our site. And then followed up for clarification on a few of his answers. After reading the interview you should feel free to ask questions of Sean, since he’s an active member here. Also you can freely discuss any aspects of this article and the contents within.
1. [B.B.] What attracted you to the BBS forums of the various political sites on the internet?
[S.O.] I join them just for the sharing of information and ideas. I participate to add as much as I can to the knowledge base.
2. [B.B.] Is the Trans-Asian Axis an area of major concern for you? Or is it just another area of interest within the political forums?
[S.O.] The T-AA is fairly high on my list as a major concern. The nations of the T-AA are the enemy in the coming world war.
3. [B.B.] Do you see a major threat within the TAA?
[S.O.] Yes and in this order: Iran, Russia, Red China, DPRK, Cuba, and Venezuela.
[B.B.] I've always considered Russia to be more of a long-term threat rather than an immediate threat... If we went by the short term, would you still follow that order or would another nation move up in the list?
[S.O.] Russia is a long-term threat, as is Red China. I based my ranking on the standard Probability vs. Risk method of threat assessment. Even in the short term the rankings remain the same for me.
As I see it the West engages in conflict with Russia and Iran well before the 200 million man Kings of the East army marches to the Euphrates.
4. [B.B.] Do you feel the Trans-Asian Axis is directly responsible for the wars we see around the globe today?
[S.O.] Yes, there is no question about it from my perspective. Right now Iran is center stage as the primary sponsor of state terrorism - in Hezbollah, HAMAS and Al Qaeda. The T-AA has a de facto alliance with Jihadi Islam, which makes them a global, WMD-armed threat.
5. [B.B.] Where do you see America's defense these days? And what areas of our security do we need to shore up?
[S.O.] We have serious gaps in our defenses. Top of the list is the US border. Next come Port security and our massive coastlines. Airline/Airport security is also high on the list as Al Qaeda is currently planning further highjacking of passenger aircraft.
Flight 327 which Annie Jacobsen has made famous was really a dry run test. This is the exact same kind of activity observed firsthand by actor James Woods one month prior to 9/11.
6. [B.B.] How do you see the part of the Media in conjunction with the current unrest we have around the globe?
[S.O.] The media are extremely biased and present a skewed or heavily spun picture regarding all aspects of the GWOT. Their hatred of the current administration knows no bounds.
7. [B.B.] Do you believe we are in the biblical Armageddon even as we speak? If so, why?
[S.O.] We haven't arrived at Armageddon yet... I believe we are in the early phase of the conflict which directly will lead to Armageddon sometime prior to the year 2020, but first there must occur Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38/39 - then comes Armageddon.
[B.B.] What about Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38/39 exactly do you believe has to take place before the start of Armageddon? And how do you see it taking place?
[S.O.] Isaiah 17 occurs prior to the War of Gog/Magog and both precede the Great Tribulation. Isaiah 17 is a bio/chem attack on Israel from Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Syria during one night in the future. Israel takes a serious hit, but is victorious. Damascus is nuked.
This sets the stage for the Russian, Iranian and their military allies movement in Ezekiel 38/39.
This sets the stage for the arrival of the antichrist to emerge as a global peacemaker.
The Red Chinese movement comes in the final 3 years of the tribulation, just prior to the actual battle of Har Megiddo.
8. [B.B.] How do you rate our current government on its stand on foreign threats? And where could positive changes be made?
[S.O.] According to our government only Iran is a significant current threat. North Korea and other rogue or enemy nations are barely mentioned.
The basic change we need to make is to recognize that Islam is the major existential direct threat to this Republic and our Constitution. In the current war the government has labeled "terrorism" as the enemy. In reality Islam is the source of the terrorist threat, therefore it should be identified as such. That would be a start.
[B.B.] Were that to change and Islam were indeed identified as our enemy, How would you approach the war differently than we currently are?
[S.O.] I would first and foremost ensure that all US and allied requirements for oil and petroleum were met - drill Alaska and develop the technology to harvest the vast oil sands of Alberta. This would negate the need for Islamic oil, which we depend on right now. This is the reason why there is a GWOTerrorism and not a GWOIslam - because of the economic and political necessity to appease the Saudi's and other Gulf oil sheikdoms.
In a clash of civilizations like this everyone in the West needs to be on the same page. Some form of political union with Canada is in the works already- common language and common ancestry.
9. [B.B.] Do you believe that Islam is a threat to the world for what it is or maybe because of the backing of the Trans-Asian Axis?
[S.O.] Islam is a threat on a par with Nazism and Communism. "Islamofascist" is a very appropriate descriptor. The answer to this question is "both of the above".
10. [B.B.] The government continues to ignore the populace on issues surrounding Illegal Immigration; Where do you see this leading?
[S.O.] Frankly, I see this illegal immigration problem leading to open warfare on our borders, particularly with Mexican gangs such as the Zetas, and in US cities with MS-13.
Bonus Question: What television show are you somewhat embarrassed that you currently enjoy or have in the past enjoyed?
[S.O.] Several of them beginning with Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan and on Sci-Fi Fridays I am glued to the TV.
'24' is my favorite program.
And there we have it… Sean Osborne’s take (in part) on Islam, the Trans-Asian Axis, and of the Tribulation. And what makes him such an authority on these subjects? Well aside from being like the rest of us, in that we all have opinions? It is the background that I mentioned above that one should take into account. He knows war. He knows the bible front and back (and beyond). Also he’s one of the most well read men I have ever met. Engage him in discussion and find out for yourself what he knows.
