Perspective:

"I took a break from the psyops for the weekend. I sat back and observed from a distance while emotions settled. Here’s what I see: There is a massive propaganda campaign by Israel and their Western partners, seeking to garner public support for all out war in the Middle East. The Israeli government are running YouTube ads, Twitter/X ads, CBS roundtables with the Five Eyes Intel leaders, promoting Israel funding during football games. They are advertising war like a company would promote a product or an event. The American People are being targeted via PSYOP. At first I thought the propaganda was for public and political support to secure funding for Israel like we do to Ukraine, but this appears to be more severe. Israel appear like they want to drag the US directly into the conflict in the Middle East, because if they invade Gaza, and Hezzbollah gets involved, then Iran gets involved, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt… It’s gonna be a shitshow, thus Israel want the US to fight the conflict for them. Which is why I believe the American People are being so heavily targeted with pro-Israeli war propaganda. US involvement would significantly benefit the Biden regime as well. More war, more chaos, more opportunities to launder money to their deep state partners, more avenues of revenue for the war machine, immediate whitewash of the massive failure in Ukraine, etc. If the status quo remains, Trump is going to win 2024. WW3 might be their only option and they are running out of time. This appears to be a prelude to war.

Comment worth reading from VDH:

Victor Davis Hanson

@VDHanson

"Israel vs. a Death Cult Here are three critical considerations that must be understood about the current Israel-Hamas conflict. It is a sort of half-war. It consists of a military trying to defeat an organized clique of passive-aggressive, media-obsessed tribal murderers. It is not really a war. This ‘war’ did not begin with a military assault. It is nothing like the Six-Day and Yom Kippur Wars, or indeed most other conflicts. It broke out with a surprise assault by between 1,500 and 2,500 gunmen of the Hamas death squads. During peace and on a holiday, they entered Israel in a long-planned hit operation to murder civilians and take captives, focusing specifically on butchering the most vulnerable—the elderly, women, children, and infants—and in the most grotesque fashion imaginable. Their desire was to be as savagely pre-civilizational as possible—the more macabre the manner of murder, the more fertile their sophistry that they were reduced to such repulsive blood lust by their worse “oppressors”. It would be as though gruesome Mafia hitmen had claimed they were forced to become animal-like due to even worse systemic anti-Italian bias. Even the Mexican cartels do not claim they are led to behead because of the injustice of the Mexican government. By preplanned design, women were raped, and children and infants were burned alive, bound and executed, and (yes) beheaded. The dead were often mutilated. Some 1,400 Israelis were butchered, the vast majority civilians. Some 3,500-4,500 were wounded. Hamas never planned to stage a preemptive war against the Israeli military. Its only agenda was to send killers to unprotected villages to murder the unarmed as they slept—in the manner of Nazi Einsatzgruppen and other mobile death squads on the Eastern Front. Almost immediately they counted on using hostages, human shields, and the media to avoid any accounting from the IDF. To distract from the murder mission, Hamas launched some 5,000 rockets—all intended as terror weapons to strike civilians, in the fashion of the V-1 and V-2 attacks on London. What followed is the most asymmetrical “war” in memory. The IDF is the only military in the world told to be “proportionate” in its use of retaliatory force—not the U.S. after 9/11, and not Ukraine after February 24, 2022. No Arab army or terrorist cadre has ever waged a war under the rules of “proportionality”. Can anyone remember a conflict, other than ones involving the U.S. or Britain, in which the attacked in its response is expected to first phone or drop leaflets warning its target areas? Does Hamas do that when it launches its rockets at Israeli cities? It is not an anti-colonial struggle. Gaza is not anyone’s“colony”. It has been autonomous since 2006-7. No free Israeli Arab Muslim citizen would willingly emigrate there to live under the dictatorship of Hamas. And for good reason. Gaza has been the recipient of aggregate billions in cash from the Gulf monarchies, Europe, the US, the UN. and expatriate remittances. The more money came in, the less Hamas had any intention of using it to serve its people. Most of the gifted funds were used to build the world’s largest subterranean city of death, to buy drones and rockets, and to pay gunmen to kill Jews. Essentially Hamas is an enormous mafia-like, shakedown and hostage-taking operation that threatens the general peace, the moderate Arab nations, the Western democracies, and Israel with terrorist operations and kidnapping unless sufficiently bribed to behave. Usually, soldiers wear uniforms in battle and their far away civilian overseers do not; Hamas killers in action wear anything, but their distant leaders in safety often prefer uniforms. So, Hamas is primarily neither a government nor even an armed force designed to fight other soldiers, but rather some eerie updated SS or Mexican-like cartel. Was that reality at the time unknown to Gazans who once voted them into power, or to its unhinged supporters on the streets and campuses of the US who celebrated its murder missions and damned Israel—even before Israel responded? Only Hamas is deliberately targeting civilians. Hamas fires its rockets at Israeli civilians from hospitals, schools, UN facilities, and mosques. Again, note the logic: Hamas assumes that Israel fights wars more humanely than Hamas itself does, and so will both try to avoid Hamas’s Palestinian human shields, and of course never itself employ such a barbaric tactic—since, among other humane reasons, Israeli civilians would attract, rather than deflect a Hamas rocket. The Israelis avoid collateral damage; there is not even such a concept for Hamas: all of its attacks are primarily aimed at civilians. Collateral damage for Hamas follows from accidently encountering the IDF. How Orwellian that the world demands that Israel, in its efforts to prevent Hamas rocket launches aimed exclusively at its civilian population, must not hurt a single civilian who is impressed to shield the rocket launchers. Note well: Hamas’s air campaign is specifically designed to kill civilians—Israel’s to avoid them. In Israel rockets are used to shield civilians; in Gaza civilians are used to shield rockets. Hamas seeks to force the Israeli military to violate the rules of war; Israel accepts that there are no rules that Hamas gunman would ever follow. The odd result is that a sick world is more accepting of deliberate mass murdering by Hamas than occasional accidental collateral damage by Israel.

MUST READ!

It brings me great concern how people just now realize the good Trump did. The messenger (Trump) was hated. No reason why is ever given that makes sense. Trump's been right about a lot of things. I hope, for everyones sake, that He will be right about a lot more to come:

Journalist Bari Weiss, a Jewish liberal who quit the New York Times over its anti-Semitism, writes: ”As a Democrat who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center but probably leaning increasingly right, I am left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger, of the message of the Trump administration because what those guys did was pretty incredible in hindsight.” “So much of the work that happened in that [Trump] administration turns out to have been right. And that’s what is so frustrating for me. The work on the border wall? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. Turned out it was right. Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. A structural peace in the Middle East? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message.” “When are we gonna stop shooting ourselves in the foot? And when are we going to actually see and take the time to look past who is saying things and actually listen to them word for word?” “If it’s clear that the last two weeks have been a wake-up call, the next question is: Why?” “Part of the answer is the sheer depravity of Hamas’s terrorism. That depravity has made the justification and celebration of their acts by those who police pronouns that much starker. The contradictions and moral bankruptcy of a worldview that spends years worrying about microaggressions and tone policing, but can’t decide what side it is on after the beheading of babies, aren’t exactly difficult to spot.” “To put it another way: when Black Lives Matter organizations are lionizing Islamist terrorists by posting a paraglider logo, you’d be a fool not to reassess things.” “The events of the last week have shattered the illusion that wokeness is about protecting victims and standing up for persecuted minorities. This ideology is and has always been about the one thing many of us have told you it is about for years: power. “And after the last two weeks, there can be no doubt about how these people will use any power they seize: they will seek to destroy, in any way they can, those who disagree.”

5-7 missiles hit the world’s most heavily defended location, defeating an integrated ABM defense that was custom built to defeat the very missiles it failed to shoot down.

THAT has some people in the Defense sector, literally panicked.   You see, if 5-7 missiles got through, then it is a given that others can get through.  And simple math reveals that had Iran fired thirty (30) missiles at that base, the base would no longer exist.

The Iranians know this now.  They __know__ Israeli "missile defenses" cannot stop their medium range ballistic missiles with any great reliability. 

While Jordan fired US PATRIOT missiles to down a few Iranian missiles, Jordan's PATRIOTS are now completely depleted. They have NONE left.

Fighter jets did down a few additional Iranian missiles, but not many.

As such, Israel is not only vulnerable, there is no "filler" technology that can be quickly inserted into the advanced, integrated system, to make things better for Israel.  Put simply, right now, Israel is factually defenseless from any large salvos of these missiles.

Think about that for a moment.

Reuters reporting that Putin has been suggesting a ceasefire and negotiations, but the US continue to reject.

The Biden regime never had any intentions of peace. They are the ones who initiated the conflict and WANT war with Russia.

Zelensky Wants Poland to Invade Ukraine

This civil war in Ukraine was instigated by the unelected interim government of Ukraine installed by the Neocons. Ukrainian sources swear that the election was rigged and the votes were fixed to install Zelensky, who has done precisely the opposite of his campaign promises.

With Ukraine essentially destroyed, its farmland being sold to his hedge fund investors, and nearly 10 million Ukrainians have fled the country, many of whom have no intention of returning. He suspended elections because he knew very well he would be voted out of office with more than 500,000 dead and, kidnapping 16-year-old boys conscripting them for the front lines.

There is a growing movement to overthrow Zelensky as Ukrainians are starting to wake up that they have been merely the vanguard sacrificed to weaken Russia before NATO declares war on Russia under some pretense. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/ukraine/zelensky-wants-poland-to-invade-ukraine/?

According to the Cyber Express, more than 100 hacker groups are waging a digital war during the Israel-Hamas conflict, with 70% of them supporting Palestine. 

Groups such as GonjeshkeDarande, Indian Cyber Force, and the UCC team have all expressed support for Israel, while KillNet, Anonymous Sudan, and Mysterious Team Bangladesh have sided with Palestine.

This is why we need to end Dual Citizenship. Especially for Public officials of this caliber.

@DougAMacgregor

Apparently Anthony Blinken is now a sitting member of the Israeli Cabinet and National Defense Council.. This is unusual to say the least. A lot of people are saying we're in charge of everything that is happening in Israel. The truth of the matter is, I wondering whether or not the Israeli leadership is in charge of everything we bring into the arena.

More. Again, better hope Putin is OK. Those replacing him would have none of his restrain and diplomacy (he's held out peace talks since the start. Neocons refuse, and want war. They may get far more than they can handle now)

Ukraine is a gigantic bottomless pit into which European and American banknotes are disappearing. Ukraine should definitely "win", whatever that means.

However, it is now clear that the populations of the donor countries, i.e. the taxpayers, will not support this indefinitely. A second front must therefore be created to put pressure on Russia so that it looks as if Ukraine has a chance of winning and the money can continue to disappear into the huge hole.

Wouldn't a provocation of Iran by Israel be the perfect strategy? Iran and Russia are closely linked and Russia cannot operate on two fronts in the long term. This may prolong the war with Ukraine and the flow of money to it, Israel needs more and stronger "support" (the arms industry rejoices) and America has a valid reason to put its boot on the ground in the Middle East, from which immeasurable supplies of oil bubble up.

My imagination is probably running away with me. Sorry about that.

Our leaders have gone rogue and need to be removed - we have an imperial presidency with no effective constraints.
