Pentagon Plans For Green Zone in Iraq Include Outdoor Shopping Market and United Nations Center

As if tearing a page from the Book of Revelation new plans for the U.S. Green Zone in Iraq have emerged. Keep in mind that several of these ideas are begging to be destroyed right along with Babylon… and it’s disgusting to imagine that this commercial enterprise, including Marriot Hotels and golf courses are what Americans are fighting, spilling blood, and sacrificing their lives to create.

Forget about a war on terror or fighting for freedom. These plans reveal the war in Iraq to be fought for the sake of the privileged. These plans are about entertaining the rich, not feeding the poor, and it’s high time the American public, specifically America’s Christian Community wake up to see the role America is playing in the creation and direction of the evolving physical Babylon. This of course speaks nothing of spiritual Babylon which now seems to own and dicatate the anxious blood lust of the United States foreign policy.  

These plans include an outdoor shopping market:

Revelation 18: 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Also included is the concept of a new United Nations Center, which from the looks of it, might for some reason… replace New York City’s UN Building.

Revelation:18: 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

US Plan Sees Shiny Future for Green Zone

 Forget the rocket attacks, concrete blast walls and lack of a sewer system. Now try to imagine luxury hotels, a shopping center and even condos in the heart of Baghdad.
Green Zone international village
This may look like a sketch for an outdoor shopping village in any American city, but it’s actually what U.S. military planners are envisioning for the heart of the Iraqi capital. The five-year, $5 billion plan, is being proposed as a “dream list” for Baghdad’s Green Zone — the enclave where the Iraqi government and the new U.S. embassy are based.
Tigris Woods Golf and Country Club
The proposal has the support of the Pentagon and apparently the interest of some wealthy international hotel and development investors. A military official said a deal already has been completed for Marriott International to build a hotel in the Green Zone. Above, planners envision a “Tigris Woods Golf and Country Club” in the area.
Tigris Riverfront Park
Planners are also hoping to build a Tigris Riverfront Park, as seen in the sketch above. So is all of this possible in an area rife with mortar and rocket attacks — and would locals welcome it? One American diplomat said he did not think Iraqis would want the U.S. to “turn this area into downtown Kansas City.”
United Nations Center
Other American diplomats have also said the plan is just wishful thinking. But Air Force Lt. Col. Monte Harner, who’s involved with the project, said, “You have to stake a goal in the sand before you can begin to move toward it. Without a vision of what could be, you’re just treading water.” Above, planners presented this as the future United Nations Center.
 
Kiosk and ATM machine
Here, a design is proposed for an information kiosk and ATM machine. About 50 percent of the Green Zone is now occupied by coalition forces, the U.S. State Department or private foreign companies. But the 5-year plan seeks to significantly reduce that presence to a limited area.
 
Future U.S. embassy in Baghdad
 
Above, construction continues in Baghdad on the new $700 million U.S. Embassy, whose total price tag will balloon to about $1 billion when the complex is completed over the next year. It is being built in the Green Zone, which is currently a five-square-mile area guarded by blast walls and checkpoints.
 
Injured man in Sadr City - 5/4
 
Last week, a U.S.-based company confirmed it was starting a $500 million project to build an amusement park in Green Zone. However, in a country that’s still struggling to find peace, many experts are skeptical that such endeavors will succceed. Above, an injured man is rushed to a hospital in Baghdad Sunday.

  1. Thy Kingdom come thy will be done. I hope they expedite construction and move the UN there ASAP!!! Nothing more beautiful than the thought of Jesus ruling from Jerusalem !!!!

  2. I thought the golf course story was strange til I read this on Raed in the Middle’s blog:
    What Happens in the Green Zone, Stays in the Green Zone
