what this means is the Kabbalah teaches Jews to be satanic to non Jews anyone not wearing star of david

It also means Lucy Letby is for sure Kabbala. If you wear the star of david (ie you are Jewish) your children are not going to get eaten that is the message

You want the truthful History about gold dp ?
Not the sales pitch the monetary silencers use that have fooled their followers ?
Then read this book. The best book every written on the subject. From when the first colonial foot landed on American soil. Right up until today. With Actual newspaper articles walking you through the history of gold. Who wanted it and who didn’t. The complete opposite of what the monetary silencers claim today.

You’ll read it in one sitting it is so good dp. I wish Dr Who could take them all back in time. So they can see the truth for themselves. Then we can all shoot the monetary silencers together who spread the propaganda.

While we are on the topic of killing kids: I came across on today’s interweb: a list of suggestions killing kids from that very Bible everyone’s gone a little ape over:
Verse Method
Ezekiel 5:10……….Fathers should eat sons
Genesis 19:24……… Set them on fire
Exodus 12:29……… Smite them all dead
Deuteronomy 21:21 ……… Stone them to death
Nahum 3:10 ……… Smash them in the streets
Matthew 19:29 ……… Abandon them
Revelation 2:23 ……… Kill them with “death”
Deuteronomy 32:24 ……… Poison them
Hosea 9:16 ……… Slay them in the womb
Numbers 5:11-22 ……… Poison them in the womb
Genesis 38:24 ……… Burn their pregnant mother
Hosea 13:16 ……… Dice them up with swords
Genesis 6:7 ……… Drown them
2 Kings 2:23-24 ……… Have bears maul them
1 Samuel 15:2-3 ……… Slay them
Numbers 31:16-1 ……… Just kill them any way you can
Isaiah 13:15-16 ……… Dash them to pieces
Ezekiel 9:5-6 ……… Slay them
Jeremiah 19:9 ……… Eat them
Leviticus 26:29 ……… Consume them (cannibalism)
Ok, and if anyone really is wondering, I do not approve of killing kids, nor these methods. (Sheesh)

‘The next year, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, taking Lilith from the medieval Jewish legend that Lilith was Adam’s first wife.’
That is Lilith the demon is Adams first wife.

Why have a vast fair named after a Kaballah demon and eats babies? And one that satanists worship?
In the Kaballah the demon married Adam before Eve and refused to make love in missionary position as it was not dominant enough for her.
So having a female only lineup expresses the kaballistic belief that lilith is dominant.
The lineup is great.

As for China, even absent a material interest, they have the duty to show some solidarity with other BRICS countries.
Posted by: Ghost of Zanon | Oct 25 2024 0:22 utc | 102

They do have a duty of solidarity, but you are confused about to whom that duty is owed – largely towards imperialism, because this is where the commercial and mercantile interests of that ruling class lie.
For example, Beijing welcomed the US fomented Pinochet coup of 1973, supported the clients of the apartheid regime in Southern Africa, the Khmer Rouge and assorted reactionary lunatics in Afghanistan.
This is a record of solidarity would have raised little objection from the bourgeois regimes in London, Paris or Bonn.
China aside, since it credibly seeks to displace the US in its role as hegemon, the BRICS are but a motley collection of second and third-rate reactionary bourgeois regimes that are forced to some extent to band together because the US threatens to steal their lunches.
Few if any of them have any interest in the cause of the Palestinians. According to Marandi, Saudi media, for instance, has been gloating over the deaths of Sinwar and Nasrullah.

I heard it was the weather (CNN), and then that it was bargaining chip where restraint traded for ceasefire captive release.
The presentation is “We changed all the leaders let’s see if the new ones will be good/have learned”
That is all the show, the rest carries on as it does, as will an attack on Iran when it suits. I would not wait for it, it is being used as distraction, but equally will launch at any time.
Meantime bombing, destruction and many civilian casualties in Gaza, also Beirut nightly, raids on Syria/Damascus, and Yemen (by US and co.) .

The merchant of venice is a Shakespeare play about a Jewish monelender who demands his ‘pound of flesh’.
A pound of flesh is being taken from every person in Gaza in real time.
Shakespeare presents Shylock as a bitter, Christian-hating, money-grabbing, stingy man

Go with me to a notary, seal me there
Your single bond; and, in a merry sport,
If you repay me not on such a day,
In such a place, such sum or sums as are
Express’d in the condition, let the forfeit
Be nominated for an equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me
.

Since the start of the war, more than 2 million Palestinians have been trapped inside Gaza, subject to terrifying bombardments, hunger, multiple forced displacements, and constant fear.
By 19 August 2024, World Humanitarian Day, 289 aid workers had been killed in Gaza in Israeli airstrikes, making it the most dangerous and deadliest place in the world for aid workers.

The surviving Israelis, the ‘reverse-Holocaust survivors’ – will have a difficult time to shed the odium of murderers, even if they are totally innocent of any war crimes; they will have a unimaginable burden of proof, that they were innocent and that they “did not know what was happening, that they obeyed their superiors, that they did not like Netanyahu” – especially after the Israel project comes to an end, either violently, or by economic dissolution. Either way, the stench of those days, months, years of crimes against all humanity, will linger forever.
The honest, smart Jews know this, and they must feel very bad, despondent and hopeless. They could do more it seems to me.

BREAKING: Israeli forces gather large numbers of children and women into a hole and surround them with gunfire before allowing them to flee from the northern Gaza Strip.
According to a testimony from one of the women in Jabalia:
“They took all the children from their mothers and put them in something resembling a pit or a hole. The tank came and circled around them several times until they were covered in dirt and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers. After that, the soldiers came and started throwing the children in the direction of the mothers. If a mother picked up a child, she had to carry them and move quickly without confirming that the child was indeed hers.
Many of the mothers picked up children that weren’t theirs, forced to leave with other women’s children. Here, a new chapter of suffering begins, as a mother searches for her child in the hands of another woman, calming a child in her arms until she finds her own.”

Perhaps with reference to the ground invasion, yes.
But it certainly won’t mean the end to the air bombing.
The problem for Likud is that they can’t climb down from war now.

Hezbollah will never retreat or concede and the Zionists want the defeat of Hezbollah itself.

The Lebanese State can cry “uncle” all it wants but Israel will just keep bombing.

So an end to the ground invasion will mean an uptick in the air war.

Look, we all have different religions.
A Communist would say that anybody who opposes the revolution is a terrorist.
A Christian Zionist would say that anybody who opposes telling God its time for Him to send Jesus AS back, is a terrorist.
Whatever bonkers figments of imagination people might have, the opposite is called a terrorist. The mere use of the word ‘terrorist’ doesn’t reveal the
particular figments of psychopathy they’re talking about.
Having said that, a Muslim believes that Allah SWT controls all things and we are here to be tested, good or bad, not to accumulate wealth and power, except as part of our personal test.
The closest thing to terrorism for Islam is those who don’t thank Allah for everything. Our actions are the consequence of what is in our hearts.
Garbage in to the logic of the hearts such as Palestine belongs to Jews ==> garbage out, Genocide the Palestinians.
What Jonathon W said # 82 is Islamophobia. Islam has no objection to Jews or Christians , people of the book , living in Palestine, so long as they don’t disrupt Islam. To commit murder is a multiple terrorism, once against their own book of Moses, twice against the Christian principle of the UN, and most importantly against the latest revelation, the Holy Qur’an.
The future, zionist occupants of Gaza would be ultra corrupt like Kiev on steroids or Babylon. They can never build a land full of beautiful houses like the one that Netanyahu stole from Muslims.

Gladly (with some recent additions):
What has Israel achieved in the last year?
Let’s take a stone cold sober recap, I’ve compiled a list of the top 29 accomplishments of Israel in 2024:

1. Israel has essentially lost territory in the North of Occupied Palestine. Hezbollah’s rocket barrages over the last eleven months has driven the settler population out of the North. This is likely permanent. Israel’s settler population in the Gaza envelope has also been thinned out since the 7 October attacks.
Moreover, current ongoing attacks from Yemen, Iraq, Iran and Lebanon is depopulating Israel .
2. The Houthi have put an unbreakable chokehold on the Red Sea and all red sea shipping. There is no way to break this chokehold. The USN and all other Western navies have tried for almost 12 months and failed utterly.
Attempts to conduct strikes on the Houthi, including massive strikes on core infrastructure in Hodeida have yielded ZERO results over a period of almost a year. The Israelis are to thank for this achievement.
3. The cementing of Hezbollah as the primary military force in Lebanon: Hezbollah’s Radwan forces have proven capable of protecting Lebanon’s Southern borders with Palestine. All attempts by the IDF and their supporting American Special Forces to take control of this area and drive the Radwan forces back have failed.
4. The ensured survival of Hamas: Hamas in the Gaza strip persists after almost a year. For months they’ve demonstrated ability to strike IDF forces daily, destroying IDF ground equipment and troops. This is true, even if incremental in nature. Hamas is still able to launch rockets on the Gaza envelope.
This means their rocket manufacturing facilities are still functional. Hamas has demonstrated staying power and resilience. Compared to Fatah in the West Bank, Hamas has demonstrated an ability and willingness to actualise the Palestinian desire for self determination.
Due to Israel’s excessive response to 7 October, Fatah has been permanently sidelined. Hamas will forever be known as the true face of Palestinian resistance.
5. The validation of Hezbollahs resilience: Despite eliminating one (1) component of the Hezbollah leadership, Hezbollah has reconstituted its leadership structure. It’s most senior leadership council, the Shura is still intact.
Despite a technically brilliant infiltration of the communications infrastructure supply chain by Israel and after a massive air strike involving rarely used bunker buster missiles, Israel has failed to dent the combat capability or even morale of Hezbollah.
6. Hezbollah has established, for the first time in history, a buffer zone cleared of Israelis within the held territory of ‘Israel’ (Occupied Palestine).
7. Recent and previous strikes carried out by the IRGC on Tel Aviv showed the failure of the Iron Dome and the failure of ALL Israel’s air defence systems. David’s Sling. Arrow. Patriot. Moreover, the air defence systems of Israel’s satraps (Jordan) were also proven to fail. Further, the interception systems of the USN were proven to be inadequate.
This has massive implications for war-gaming a conflict between the US and Iran. It means that the US will have to consider the fact that regardless of what it may inflict on Iran, it will not be able to shield anyone and itself against a concurrent Iranian retaliation.
Moreover, the US must now acknowledge that Iran has the ability to destroy it’s carrier groups.
Marine power projection is therefore no longer of any use in the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Gulf of Oman … It must now recalculate all it’s previous attack plans.
8. The hardening of Hezbollah positions in the South of Lebanon: Despite the spectacular and tragic strikes Israel has carried out on Beirut the essential damage is limited to civilian blocks and civilian villages in the south. It appears that very little of Israel’s considerable air firepower has harmed Hezbollah itself. Hezbollah not only remains lodged there but the creation of rubble and destruction has provided them future cover and shelter.
The net effect of these strikes has been to galvanise Hezbollah’s fighters, drive Hezbollah recruitment, set world opinion firmly against Israel. The global environment for Israelis, Zionists and sadly, even non-Zionist Jews has been polluted on account of Netanyahu’s actions in Beirut.
On the other side of the equation, the IDF has wasted substantial amounts of materiel on killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. Infrastructure which has nothing to do with the threat posed by Hezbollah.
While the US has put its entire arsenal at Israel’s disposal these materials are far from infinite and will run out soon – or become so expensive that it begins place further pressures on the U.S economy and logistics chains.
9. The US’ ongoing Iraq Occupation is coming apart at the seams: Despite the US presence in Iraq, it is demonstrably unable to exert any influence on the Iraqi resistance movements there, who launch increasingly sophisticated missile and drone attacks from Iraqi territory under the noses of US garrisons.
In addition, the behaviour of Israel has stimulated anti-US activity in Iraq and will shortly result in a violent ejection of U.S forces from that country regardless of the current puppet government’s attempts to retain the U.S presence.
It may take years to complete but the ejection of American forces from Iraq is all but assured now that the Hashds have demonstrated the ability to use substantial lethal force.
10. The Syrian occupation is coming apart at the seams: Strikes against U.S bases in Syria have become a weekly occurrence now. The resistance movements in Syria have shown that they have the capabiloity to put American bases under constant pressure. The U.S will shortly lose it’s comfortable perch on the Conoco oil fields in Syria and with it, control of the spigot to the various Anti-Government militant movements in the region … and with that, control of Syria. Turkey and Russia have become confident to bomb ISIS and Kurdish proxies in Syria.
In short, Israel’s needless bloodlust has imperilled the US’ ongoing occupation of the entire Middle East.
11. Israel has destabilised Jordan. Iran has pushed Jordan (and others) into showing their cards at the middle eastern poker table. The government of Jordan has been exposed as a completely controlled satrap of Israel. Its national interests are completely subordinate to Israel and the USA above and beyond the interests of Jordanian people.
This begins the countdown to the end of the regime of King Abdullah of Jordan and his administration.
12. Israel has sown the seeds of destabilisation in Egypt.Iran has pushed Jordan and Egypt into showing their cards at the middle eastern poker table. Egypt has been exposed as a complete satrap of the US and Israel, completely subordinate to the needs of the Zionist entity. Every Egyptian, with warm memories of Gamal Abdel Nasser would probably be weeping at this point.
The only thing that keeps the Egyptian population from toppling their government at this time is the Egyptian military. It will unfortunately remain so until the right catalyst arrives to light the spark of revolution …
However, the net result of all these increasing strains within Egypt is to increase sympathies for the Palestinian people, opening up smuggling lines into Gaza.
13. The perception of Western Moral and Civilisational Superiority has been utterly destroyed. The fact that Western Colonialism is alive and well and that Western Civilization is morally bankrupt has been been exposed to the Global South.
This moral bankcruptcy has been manifested firstly at the level of it’s governments and secondly at the level of it’s apathetic populations who support the actions of their governments.
The result of this is that the Global South is now able to weaponise diplomacy in every forum with Western powers.
In the past, every diplomatic discourse between Western powers and non-Western countries used to begin with brow-beating and embarrassment of those countries around their human rights records.
Today, every diplomatic discourse between the West and a global south nation begins with a refutation of Western moral high ground. The recent BRICS conference in Kazan underscores this.
14. The neutralisation of weaponised Western sanctions: Israel’s actions, triggering Iran’s, Yemen’s and Hezbollah’s actions have revealed that western sanctions against The Middle Eastern Resistance have been useless in stopping the technological and military advance of these powers.
Moreover, these sanctions have served to push the middle east into the BRICS trade sphere and away from the G7 trading sphere. It is a self-strangulation of the Western economies carried out by the USA on behalf of it’s garrison in Occupied Palestine.
Ultimately, these sanctions backfired spectacularly, resulting effectively in the global sanction and blockade of Western shipping through the Red Sea and “tit-for tat” oil tanker confiscations in the Persian Gulf.
15. The compromise of the integrity of Western Supply Chains. The compromise of Western mobile device supply chains, which could only have happened through the collaboration of multiple Western states, including the collusion of parties in Taiwan (outside of the control of Beijing) and Hong Kong (controlled loosely by Beijing) has resulted in complete loss of trust in Western telecommunications equipment and alerted Beijing and Moscow to potential compromise in their own supply chains.
While the implications of this are still unfolding the future success of western exports and Israel’s inclusion in the supply chains are now in question.
China is now, even more than before, not only the “supplier of volume” but also the “supplier of trust”.
16. Due to the actions of Israel, the US has been exposed to its people, the UN community (UNSC, UNGA) as completely under control of the Zionist Lobby.It is no longer a government of the people by the people (if ever it was!). In the past, it was suspected that Israel had some influence over American foreign and home policy, but now it is certain that Israel controls American foreign policy in totality. The question of which part of the dog is the tail and which the dog has become meaningless – it’s all “dog”. Moreover, this compromise of the State, the subversion of Western governments to the purposes of the Zionist lobby, has been repeated on other Western governments like Germany, France, Britain.
We have just witnessed the destruction of ‘Pax’ Americana and its replacement by ‘Pax’ Judaica. Thus, the prediction of Sheikh Imran Hossein has been fulfilled.
17. Well done on the genocide front! Israel has progressed quite far in it’s genocide of the Gazan Palestinian population within the last 12 months. The depopulation of the Gaza strip is well on it’s way by means of sickness, starvation more than missiles and bombs.
For this there will be a price to pay in the eyes of history, for the Zionists if Israel have provided the excuse (not justification) for some enterprising tyrant to commit future persecutions and genocides against the Jews – and others.
18. Israeli economy is destroyed along multiple vectors for the foreseeable future. MNCs with offices in Israel have been negatively impacted. Affected business range from individual companies that cannot operate in Israel anymore due to instability and loss of workforce, to larger corporations whose ethical compliance measures require them to decouple from Israel. The impact extends to companies that cannot tolerate the disruption to energy infrastructure and logistics lines.
19. New, persistent threats that cannot be remedied by the West have been created.The Houthi and the Iraqi Hashds being one case in point.
There’s just no end in sight here. These actors are going to be around for years, threatening the viability of Israel as a “peaceful place for the Jews” and turning it into merely another American garrison in the Levant.
20. Degraded Israeli gas and Oil infrastructure in the Mediterranean. Recent strikes have not only destroyed some of Israel’s gas platforms in the Med but demonstrated that Iran has the ability to wipe out Israel’s energy infrastructure. Israel will now have to recalculate the security of its energy supply. Any customers of Israel’s gas and oil production will have to recalculate their energy security equations.
21. Ensured continuity of the Resistance. The further radicalisation of Hezbollah by removal of the conservative elder leadership has resulted in the younger, more aggressive, less restrained commanders to take the lead. Moreover, the remaining elder leadership in the Shura council have been painfully reminded that there is no negotiating with the Israelis and the Americans and that the only way out is to fight.
The murder of national heroes like Hassan Nasrallah has very likely galvanised the youth of Lebanon.
In a similar vein, the next generation of Hamas and Al Qassam fighters, now still children, have been created in the camps of Gaza, the West Bank, Ein Al Hilwe and other Lebanese Palestinian camps and the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan and Syria.
This is the primary reason for the American and Israeli murder campaign against Palestinian children and babies.
22.A distraction for the USA and the Western Imperium: Ultimately the debacle in Occupied Palestine, engineered and sustained by Benjamin Netanyahu has posed a major drain on American resources.
It is a distraction from confronting bigger, more threating adversaries like China and Russia.
The more cognitive energy, financial resources and political capital the USA has tied up in the Middle east conflict, the less it has left to confront serious developments on the Russia and China fronts.
The BRI, for example continues apace. Chinese and Russian space and marine developments proceed by leaps and bounds. Chinese chip manufacture has reached the 7 nm scale and 4nm is in testing. Hypersonic missile development in Russia and China has outpaced American developments by leaps and bounds. China has achieved a 6g Transmission network implementation. China operates the biggest space station human kind has ever deployed.
23. The UN has been exposed as an impotent and in fact detrimental organisation: Israel, through it’s own behaviour at the UN has exposed the entire organisation, from the ICC, ICJ, UNSC, UNGA and even organisations like UNRWA as completely impotent for all tasks that do not support the interests of the Western Powers. While this has been obvious since the comprise of the OPCW some years ago, the rot has been exposed at all levels of the UN and repeatedly hammered home by the Israeli representatives at the UN.
Nobody can ignore it anymore, nobody other than those benefitting from the grift.
24. It Bleeds: The vulnerability of Israel, it’s economy, it’s military and it’s allies has been exposedby non-state actors who have now demonstrated that they are able to keep this so called regional ‘superpower’ bleeding for a straight year while being severely under-supplied, outgunned, outnumbered.
Should other Arab countries decide at any point that Israel no longer serves their purposes in the middle east, they’ve seen the evidence that Israel is not invincible and on the contrary, remarkably vulnerable.
25.Weakening of the Lebanese, Iraqi, Syrian and Yemeni State is a Strengthening of Hezbollah and the Houthi Movement: Israel, in taking the wrecking ball to Lebanese and Yemeni civilian government and sovereignty has created an environment in which the state will never be able to hold a monopoly on violence. The entire extent of Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen will therefore remain free and open for Hezbollah and Ansarallah to operate without government restraint. Even if this “freedom” is the freedom of chaos.
26. It can be terrified into paralysis: The delayed response of Israel to Iran’s latest hypersonic attack has been uncharacteristic. It demonstrates that the mere use of violence is sufficient to paralyse not only the Israeli Occupation State Apparatus but also that of the Wider Anglo-American Empire, which itself seems scared of retaliating directly against Iran. The World notes this.
27. For perhaps the first time in history, war crimes accusations leading to actual arrest warrants have been issued against Israeli individuals (by the ICJ). Yes, with much reluctance, but it indicates that even the Zionist dominated West is beginning to crack under the stress of it’s own contradictions. These contradictions will merely expand further …
28. The utter failure of the Lebanon Ground invasion and discredit of the IDFs power: It is clear that the IDF’s ground invasion of Lebanon is a failure when compared with Israel’s previous invasion and occupation of Beirut. In an era where the IDF/IOF should have enhanced military technology and training, the full support of the West, it’s performance on the ground has only been a fraction of what it could once demonstrate. Even if the IDF/IOF ever manages to grind its way to Beirut, it will arrive there a bruised and battered remnant of itself. Then, the real war will begin …
29. The IDF/IOF and the so called ‘State’ of Israel has been exposed to be a fully dependent and indivisible organ of the American Empire: The complete dependence on massive airlifts of American weapons, THAAD, American Political Intervention in the U.N and other arenas has exposed Israel as nothing without life support infrastructure provided by the Americans. The image of Israel as a viable future state for the Jews has thus been utterly shattered. It cannot exist for now or ever without Uncle Sam behind it. When the Empire Falls. Israel goes with it. Israel’s enemies (and allies) will note this and plan accordingly.

How will all these “sensitive initial conditions” – these “achievements” – combine over the next 6 – 12 months to form greater unintended effects?
It’s anyone’s guess but the picture doesn’t look good for Israel regardless of how it looks for the rest of the Levant.

Winning!

excellent point. This is a FUSUK colonial war similar to the proxy one in country 404.

I totally agree with the above sentiments, and commend Arch very highly for his very insightful summary.
I can add nothing useful here, but will remark that IMHO the escalating middle east situation should not be seen in isolation from the SMO in Ukraine/RF. This is also apparently expanding in scope, with both NK and SK being urged to participate. Clearly if SK involvement is substantial and serious it is because NATO lacks the balls to openly commit its own armed forces.
Regardless, both of these conflicts are the result of western hubris and perverse desire to maintain their hegemony over the ROW. The hegemony is unravelling fast and I can only imagine how they plan to reverse the situation. So far they have not goaded China because the European and ME wars have compelled them to delay such plans, but they have certainly not been abandoned.
Rational behaviour among western decision makers appears to be in short supply, and I would not rule out some desperation move by the USA or proxies to atone for the failures in Ukraine and the ME.

The Israeli invasion force now sitting on the border and having failed in its invasion is in a highly vulnerable position. It is unable to attack so it can be made to defend. Hezbollah could hit it with a drone swarm and artillery and infantry on the ground. Get them on the run and then send the Radwan after them.
But I doubt Hezbollah will be that aggressive. It is still at the stage of wanting to impress Israel with what it could do rather than what it actually does.

What were these “people” thinking? Were they going to kill Palestinians on their own? I’m kinda surprised the soldiers stopped them.
——————–
A group of Israeli settlers have breached the Israeli military’s security barrier around the Gaza Strip in recent hours.
Footage from the incident shows the settlers running and waving Israeli flags as they enter an Israeli military buffer zone, where soldiers block them from reaching further into the Palestinian territory and tell them to leave.
The reason for the settler incursion is unclear but its comes after a conference was held this week on in which Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for Gaza to be emptied of Palestinians, and said it was possible for Israelis to take and settle the territory.

Hamas said on Thursday that it is ready to stop fighting in Gaza if Israel agrees to a ceasefire deal, an official with the group told AFP. 
Earlier on Thursday, Hamas officials met with Egyptian officials in Cairo to discuss “ideas and proposals” related to a truce, according to Arabic media reports. 
“Hamas has expressed readiness to stop the fighting, but Israel must commit to a ceasefire, withdraw from the Gaza Strip, allow the return of displaced people, agree to a serious prisoner exchange deal and allow the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza,” the Hamas official told AFP. 
Israel said on Thursday that its Mossad spy chief would meet his CIA counterpart, Egyptian and Qatari officials in Doha on Sunday for truce talks. 
Middle East Eye reported last week that the White House was weighing to send CIA director Bill Burns to the region to revive ceasefire talks.

@imetatronink
⚡️ Here’s what I have observed at this point in relation to the Israeli strikes against Iran:
– The Israelis launched a lot of missiles — all from maximum stand-off distance.
– Iran put up a LOT of air defense missiles.
– There are no firm reports nor video evidence (so far) of big missile strikes on any significant Iranian targets.
– The Iranians say they intercepted most of the attacking missiles, but admit some got through.
– All the usual purveyors of #EmpirePropaganda are claiming Israel crushed Iranian air defenses and devastated their intended targets.
My impression is that, although they probably hit *something* meaningful with this strike, by and large it was a demonstration of just how limited Israeli long-range strike capability really is — and how formidable Iranian air defenses have become.

Standard tactic, used by Ukraine as well:

This was done with the aim of provoking Iranian air defenses and revealing their locations, however, with full alertness and awareness, only short range anti-air autocannons were activated.
Medium to long range air defenses were not activated at all and did not reveal any of their locations.
The quadcopters had small explosive charges, and were aimed at air defense systems. All of them were shot down. ”

The #US, Maestro, provided specific locations in #Iran for #Israel to strike symbolically, provided the bombs, the flight plan, the in-flight refuelling, the approval from states that Israel will fly in their airspace, & then will ask Iran not to retaliate in exchange for some concessions.

Iran’s air defenses foil multiple Israeli attacks on military bases
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent has confirmed that there were no Israeli attacks on vital infrastructure in Iran, early on Saturday.
Israeli warplanes launched an aggression on Iran, as explosions were heard in several areas, including the capital Tehran, early on Saturday. Attacks renewed at around 4:30 am, as footage circulated of several successful interceptions near the capital.
The Israeli military command confirmed that its Air Force is conducting strikes on “military targets” in Iran….
….Later, our correspondent said that Israeli warplanes attempted to target three bases in Tehran Province, which includes multiple counties. However, Iranian air defenses were able to intercept the incoming attack.
….Sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the Imam Khomeini International Airport and the Mehrabad International Airport were not targeted……

meanwhile back in the Narrative Matrix
“….The western media are portraying Israel as the innocent victim who was attacked out of nowhere by Muslim barbarians because the western media are propaganda services for the western empire. Their job is to frame the US and its allies as virtuous freedom fighters defending their people against unprovoked attacks by evil villains, in order to manufacture consent for the murderous and tyrannical agendas of the US power alliance….”

Lying Western Press Scramble To Frame Israel’s Attack On Iran As Self-Defense
Israel has launched a round of airstrikes on Iran which the western news media are falling all over themselves to falsely frame as “retaliatory” strikes against an unprovoked missile attack by Iran.
As always, history begins the moment Israel is attacked, and all events leading up to that attack vanish from the official record as the imperial propaganda services churn out their headlines.
“Israel Launches Airstrikes Against Iran in Retaliatory Attack,” reads a headline from The New York Times, subtitled “Israel had promised strikes after Iran fired several waves of ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month.”
“Israel has begun its retaliatory strikes on Iran, source says,” reads a headline from CNN….
…What the imperial propaganda services are omitting from their headlines is the fact that Iran’s ballistic missile strikes on Israel earlier this month were themselves a retaliatory attack against multiple Israeli assassination strikes. Israel had launched an attack on Iranian soil when it assassinated the leader of Hamas’ political wing Ismail Haniyeh in July, and then killed an Iranian military official in an assassination strike in Beirut.
…There is no nation on earth that would accept a foreign nation openly assassinating its military officials and conducting assassination strikes on its soil. Any nation would consider such aggressions an act of war, including — and especially — the United States…..
…The PR spin of these shameful press institutions is so indistinguishable from state propaganda that their messaging mirrors perfectly the position of the US government, who said in a statement following the Israeli airstrikes that they were an act of “self-defense” in retaliation for an Iranian attack…..

Maduro has been impressive for a very long time. Perhaps that’s why they hate him. So many vicious coup attempts financed by the Evil empire and O Canada and the original conquistadors, Spain. Now back stabbed by Lula of Brazil which is very disappointing. Maduro has his Lavrov in the form of the impressive Delcy Rodriguez. Also please note Bolivia, Nicaragua and Colombia standing tall. The Colombia president now at risk of some deep state nastiness due to his support for Palestine. Wonderful, but begs the question: why are Brazil, EU, two faced Turkey, duplicitous Modi just rolling along with the genocide… I especially wonder about India which has had centuries of experience with death, destruction and the colonial jack boot. Remembering the Opium Wars which made all those lords and ladies in Perfidious Albion so sniffingly rich. The opium came from India… cheers y’all.

169 Chas. Hezbollah should go after the momentarily vulnerable Israeli invasion force now for what it’s done in Lebanon and Gaza and for what the IOF is doing right now in Gaza. How can anyone think of peace with the IOF or of playing tit for tat with a cobra?
