No, that’s not the case in my opinion: the City through the US is using Israel as a proxy to keep a toe hold in the Middle East. Why?
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the Wolfowitz (1998?) doctrine:
“Middle East and Southwest Asia
The doctrine clarified the overall objectives in the Middle East and Southwest Asia.
In the Middle East and Southwest Asia, our overall objective is to remain the predominant outside power in the region and preserve U.S. and Western access to the region’s oil. We also seek to deter further aggression in the region, foster regional stability, protect U.S. nationals and property, and safeguard our access to international air and seaways. As demonstrated by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, it remains fundamentally important to prevent a hegemon or alignment of powers from dominating the region. This pertains especially to the Arabian peninsula. Therefore, we must continue to play a role through enhanced deterrence and improved cooperative security.
In the Middle East and Persian Gulf, we seek to foster regional stability, deter aggression against our friends and interests in the region, protect U.S. nationals and property, and safeguard our access to international air and seaways and to the region’s oil. The United States is committed to the security of Israel and to maintaining the qualitative edge that is critical to Israel’s security. Israel’s confidence in its security and U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation contribute to the stability of the entire region, as demonstrated once again during the Persian Gulf War. At the same time, our assistance to our Arab friends to defend themselves against aggression also strengthens security throughout the region, including for Israel.”
Yes, you are correct that these actions ‘isolate ‘ America but it is the neo con Crusade and it doesn’t look like they are retreating from the above doctrine any time soon.

Oho. A falling-out amongst the brigands, pirates and thieves.
Seems like the Talmudist dominated regime In the U$$A is all butt-sore about someone in the British government tattling to the “Times of London” that the Murikkan and Brit air farces would be assaulting selected targets in Yemen in a matter of hours. The details are to be found in today’s R.T.
What must really have pissed off those creeps in the Di$trict of Corruption was that the AnserAllah/Houtis would have a chance of getting out of the way before those airstrikes and missile hits…thus far fewer casualties than the enemies of humanity would have preferred. Somehow, the bloodlust was not quenched. Blood-rituals are so essential to the Archonic masters.

Do please bear in mind that the metastasizing senility of Biden has long rendered him incapable perhaps of even changing his Depends. Biden is but a tool of his Talmudist “advisers”, Department of $tate honchos and Department of Homeland Insecurity. Even the top dogs in the Pentagram features a raft of four and three stars who are basically in the game with their thoroughly browned-noses in order to gobble up all those contracts and commissions with the WarDefense Industry upon their retirements.
One can only hope that there are middle-ranking officers in that five-sided monstrosity who retain some elements of common sense and personal integrity. Could that also be true amongst various analysts in the Agency? Maybe so, but the Operations clique includes some bloody-minded psychos.
The regime in the Di$trict of Corruption, including Administration, Congre$$, the Court$ and most definitively, the Deep $tate administrative bureaucraps; are the acme of “go along to get along” interspersed with out and out psychopaths and sociopaths who have wormed their ways into positions of influence and power. That entire scene can be described as a can of worms who have succeeded in rotting away the sinews of our ruptured republic.
Once again, Biden is but a puppet and a tool. He has no agency, just a face-man, an actor on the stage of national devolution.

Joe is just the guy to turn problems with an Israeli and/or Israeli bound shipping blockade into closing down the Red Sea while managing to get the US into a conflict it can’t win, too far away to reliably supply it and using scarce resources it might need for other events. He’s a genius and a conqueror of his own mind and nobody’s going to tell him differently.”

With all due respect Joe Biden is a creature of the Delaware Anglo/Zionists Dupont (2) family .Their main business historically was explosives. They got him elected in 73 and he does whatever they tell him.
Biden was so broke that the Dupont family bought him a house (that they built) and a country club membership,(1)he couldn’t afford.
Joe Biden does nothing himself. The City through Dupont tell Joe what to do. Joe can’t control his bowels let alone manage a war.
Joe Biden reminds me of an old Star Trek Episode when Kirk and Spock are on a planet that resembled Nazi Germany and they saw the leader/Fuher on TV but he was obviously seriously drugged and evil neo cons were ruling through him doing the Final Solution-he was also a fellow Star trek officer-called the “Patterns of Force” is the episode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_of_Force_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series);
Of course the episode ended on a happy note where Spock and Kirk rescued the officer who then immediately called off the ‘Final Solution’ and everyone lived happily ever after-with Joe I’m not so sure.
1. At the time, Biden walked a delicate line. On one hand, he campaigned as an Amtrak-riding “Middle-Class Joe” striving to make ends meet, and accurately described himself as “one of the poorest members of Congress” — reporting $221,000 in combined income with his wife that year and $360 in charitable contributions.
Cut through the 2024 election noise. Get The Campaign Moment newsletter.
Yet at the same time in Delaware, Biden had deep ties with one of the wealthiest families in his small home state: the du Pont clan, founders of the international chemical company headquartered in Wilmington. Biden had recruited top staffers from the firm, served in Congress alongside a du Pont, and even bought a mansion built by the family.
Then came a new opportunity: a membership at the new golf club, which was founded by a du Pont heiress, which offered Biden access to a highflying part of Delaware society that otherwise may have been closed off to him — one that he’s continued enjoying to this day, with records showing he has visited Fieldstone at least 22 times as president, most recently playing a round and dining there in August.”

I think the source of Jewish rage against the Palestinians lies in a deep sense of shame they harbor because their parents and grandparents were passive in the face of their genocide. They hardly put up any fight and went like lambs to their slaughter.
Now the Jews are infuriated because the Palestinians are putting up the heroic resistance to genocide that Jews couldn’t bring themselves to do. So now a live Palestinian is a symbol of Jewish cowardice and shame.
What really enrages the Jews is that the Palestinians are courageous and have such an ability to sacrifice and to cooperate that they have built tunnels deep underground for a safe haven to build and train their resistance army. The Jews of the 1930s and 40s in Europe didn’t do anything even close to that.
Those tunnels are to the Palestinians what the Sierra Maestra was to the Cuban revolutionaries and one day Hamas and its sister militias will pour out of those tunnels as ruthlessly and swiftly as did the Cuban Rebel Army.

If the deep conspiracy is so powerful and competent, why does it continually shoot itself in the foot?
And the consistent claim that Biden is but an agent of higher powers essentially relieves him of guilt. Of course he’s been bought for his whole career, he’s admitted as much on multiple occasions. But he was bought because he was for sale. A puppet has no mind of its own. Biden actually believes in all the things he’s said and done over his long career, not because he was told to say them and do them.
In any case, if Joe Biden is the best that this nefarious conspiracy to rule the world can put forward to operate in the open, what exactly does it say about the puppet masters?

Thanks for reposting that excerpt from Unimperators posting from yesterday regarding “capturing cities”. It reminded me of a photo-caption I read just yesterday in the April 10,1944, page 32 photo caption as part of their coverage of the Battle for Cassino in the Italian campaign:
“German shell bursts amidst Cassino wreckage. Here Allies learned what the Germans learned at Stalingrad: that a wrecked town is harder to capture than one untouched by bombardment”.
As a mere military history buff, and possessing a mass of now antique magazines; it amazes me that the bloodthirsty and heavily indoctrinated Isreali general staff (and those from whom they get their orders) did not have the sense to keep in mind that now commonplace military doctrine that if you intend to take a city, please do not reduce it into a Stalingrad level of rubble…the worst possible environment for an attacking army.
Israel and even somewhat legitimate sites such as South Front, who tend to habitually publish the Israeli casualty figures; are most wary of public reaction to high “butchers bills”. One can only access speculations by various sources to come to some approximation of the Zionist State’s losses. From those sources I’ve accessed, probable KIA’s may well be at or maybe even exceed 6,000 men…and women as well. This assessment is based upon the number of vehicles which the resistance forces have destroyed, as infantry deployment is generally eschewed by the casualty-averse IDF.
Wounded losses…some permanent due to missing limbs, et al, could well be in the range of 20,000. PTSD incidents amongst those non-battle-hardened deckchair “warriors” might be virtually uncountable. When will we see and hear accurate accounts of weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments throughout Occupied Palestine?
Question is whether those Nuts and Yahoos go all postal and resort to their much touted “Samson Option”. Maintaining the legendary frog-boiling approach is fast becoming mandatory for all resistance forces. Sometimes actions of outrage can be trumped by the swamps of despair.

On January 11, The Times published an account of the duel between HMS Diamond and the 7 Houthi launched low cost drones. HMS Diamond is one of 6 Type 45 destroyers of the British Navy.
Wiki: Type 45 destroyer ; Cost, Over £1.050 billion per ship incl. Research and development, £650 million per ship excl. R&D ; Built, 2003–2012
“They were identified as such due to their speed and height. Evans did not have long to consider the threat before giving the order to fire. The Sea Viper missile system swung into action, firing its Aster missiles, known for their precision and ability to hit targets at long range.
However, some of the drones got closer to the ship, forcing HMS Diamond to use its 30mm Oerlikon machineguns, which can fire 200 rounds per minute at a maximum range of only 2.5 miles.”
https://archive.is/E6B84
Is the article implying the HMS Diamond missed? Seven drones were shot down by the HMS Diamond using missiles and guns. So the air defense system missed hitting at least 2 of the 7 low cost drones? That would be really awful because air defense is the one job given to the Type 45 destroyer. If the swarm of drones was instead a salvo of anti-ship missiles how would the air defense system perform?

Posted by: britishnavysubpar | Jan 14 2024 18:57 utc | 59

Former British Navy surface combatant captain claims the machine guns were used by the HMS Diamond deliberately to down one drone. But according to The Times there were at least two drones that leaked through and the account doesn’t at all mention deliberately allowing some drones to get close to save missiles (Diamond only carries 48).
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/11/us-royal-navy-warships-missiles-guns-red-sea-houthis/
“And then there are other kinds of cost. Once Diamond’s 48 missiles start to run low, rearming her will involve a long journey to – at minimum – a safe harbour with cranes and a complex logistic operation to get more missiles there. Such rearming is normally done at a specialist ammunitioning jetty. The UK doesn’t have another Type 45 destroyer which could replace Diamond on task while she went off to rearm.
So, rather than a desperate last ditch effort to knock down a drone which had somehow got through the outer defences, Diamond’s 30mm engagement is likely to have been a deliberate move, designed to preserve her missiles and endurance on task. The drone in question may have been one that didn’t appear to be on course to hit Diamond herself.
The close-in guns kill does also illustrate just how daft it was to remove the anti-air capability from the ship’s 4.5-inch main gun – that’s the big one on the front – 20-plus years ago to save a tiny amount of money. Against simple targets like one-way-attack propeller drones, a radar-directed 4.5 firing shells with proximity fuses could be expected to do very well at much longer ranges, with correspondingly less pucker factor.”

On a practical basis, all those Israeli “checkers” at the Rafah crossing need to do is positively determine whether any anti-aircraft missiles are on board those trucks. The resistance already has a sufficiently of anti-armor weaponry of their own production. The “hot-stuff” whatever it may be, is already seeping through international boundaries via the tunnel systems.
So the evident aim of those inspectigators is to slow down the rescue work to a mere trickle, thus exacerbating the thirst, hunger and lack of medical assistance as central to their genocidal intentions.

If those in Parliament, Whitehall, Downing Street et all could/would peruse the faces of multitudes of people of every known color, ethnicity, social classes…and prior states of servitude, peacefully protesting on that chilly January day…a sense of trepidation, an awakening of their roles in aiding and abetting the genocidal outrages and a realization that they might find themselves to be on the wrong side of this historical unveiling of the Great Awakening amongst the worldwide commons will rattle the timbers and shake the walls.
The longtime rule of the few over the many is being called to the highest of all courts…worldwide public opinion.
History is unfolding right before all those cameras and video presentations for all the world to witness. Never before in recorded history has there been such an open-ended revelation expressed by the people of the world.
Ultimately, this cannot end well for the oppressors. A fully enlightened public opinion grows spontaneously and unstoppably, inexorably, on a daily basis. The dam is about to burst from the accumulated pressure of millions of souls.
In an arcane sense, this is a most telling time for the human race.
“The times they are a changin.” To all those with ears to hear, have a listen to the 20th Century’s greatest Jewish prophet, Bob Dylan. Absorb all the lyrics composed/channeled from Universal Unconscious. Then have a listen to a mass chorus singing “We Shall Overcome”.
One’s day is not complete without music which stirs the soul and quickens the spirit.
Prophecies are unfolding. Indeed, these are the times of Revelation. The veil is lifting. Life recognizes and respects life. That all are One and that One is All becomes evident and ubiquitous.
Blessed be. Thanks for sharing the images, Bevin.

Didn’t the Nuremberg international tribunal declare the SS and the Wehrmacht General Staff criminal organizations? That would be a precedent for doing the same to the IDF.

Thanks but no thanks. Mark Regev squirming in orgasm at the genocide of Palestinians on the BBC is neither legal, decent , honest or truthful and should not be seen on either side of the 9 o’clock schedule. The word diplomat is inappropriate to Regev.
He is a proselytiser of racism and genocide.
