Excerpt
Chapter 7
What's a wingding? Why, a wingding is, uh...it's just like a shindig but without all the hullabaloo.
― Cuthbert Soup, A Whole Nother Story
Cyprus, an ideal venue for a clandestine shindig hosted by the Mossad is only 300 kilometers from Israel. While Turkey controls the northern region, the British maintain a presence in the south, which was part of the esteemed British Empire until 1960, when the Republic of Cyprus declared its independence.
Turkey was one of the first regional nations to recognize Israel, although their outward relationship was icy to appease other Arab states. Presently, however, they maintain a subliminal but synergistic cooperative bond for mutually beneficial reasons, such as military and economic cooperation. The old saying, The enemy of my enemy is my friend, is perfectly applicable to the extremist country of Iran. They terrorize the moderate Gulf states and drive them closer to Israel as a common nemesis. Currently, China is attempting to exert their influence and become a power broker with Iran. A serious disruption of the status-quo could ensue. Stay tuned...
The southern half of Cyprus is controlled by the British, who have a very good relationship with Iran. Much of the Iranian terrorism funding funnels through the British banking system. Therefore, bad actors can travel freely through Turkey, hop a plane or boat to Northern Cyprus, and make their way south unencumbered.
Our ultimate destination is an astounding mountainside villa and compound overlooking the magnificent Southeastern Mediterranean Coast and Ayia Napa, the jetsetter's playground of the rich and famous. The adjacent pristine Pantachou Beach stretches to the sea below, with its golden sand beckoning to all the attractive people.
It couldn't be a more perfect location for entertaining dangerous terrorists with some old-fashioned hospitality. They'll feel very safe. Located at the far eastern end of the southern coast of Cyprus, Ayia attracts the beautiful people: oligarchs, monarchs, the nouveau riche, as well as those with dirty money.
The crème de la crème mingle with oil barons and fancy terrorists-an interesting mix. Deals are made, hearts are broken; everyone parties. This will be a huge escapade with lots of new folks-a diverse group of attendees for sure.
