From SoS Rubio,
“Today @POTUS sent a powerful and clear message to Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen. These attacks on U.S. vessels and global shipping must stop and we will hold you accountable. We will protect our people and freedom of navigation.”

🇺🇲🇮🇱 US Secretary of State Rubio called Israelis ‘our people’ after bombing Yemen:
“We will hold the Houthis accountable to protect our people.”

(https://southfront.press/houthi-leaders-were-killed-in-u-s-strikes-on-yemen-israel-braces-for-response/)

Nasr el-Din Amer, a spokesperson for the Houthis, told NBC News that most of the casualties from the strikes were women and children. Amer also stressed that the Houthis would continue their operations “until the blockade on Gaza is lifted.”
“We will respond to the recent escalation with further escalation,” he said. “Our response will not be delayed.”

One element we can expect out of Trump is that he hates to be a loser. If he actually follows through on his rhetoric and bombast/bomblast, and invades Yemen with ground pounders he will be faced with a pair of black eyes and a broken nose. Obviously he’s getting bad advice…likely villain is Pete Hegseth, a disgrace to Norwegian ancestry. Could it be that that prissy, preppy burbie baby has a familial relationship to the Quisling Stoltenberg or perhaps to Quisling himself?

Maybe Iran can and will supply specs for their recently provided S400 and S500 A.A. missiles to the Houthis. A few Coalition of the $willing F-15s biting the dust would be quite effectual. Ansar Allah has won the naval battles against the aggressors with their missilry. They would be oblivious to all but nukes if they get some state of the art AA missiles.

Journalist Youssef Fares
“Witkoff to CNN :
Hamas’s ceasefire proposal is not a starting point for negotiations
The answer we received from Hamas regarding extending the ceasefire in Gaza is completely unacceptable
Our proposal includes the release of a large number of Palestinian prisoners, which would be great for their families
Our proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza includes the release of 5 live hostages, including an American citizen
Witkoff threatens Hamas in an interview with CNN: I advise them to watch what we are doing to the Houthis
Witkoff to CNN: I think there is an opportunity for Hamas, but it is fading quickly
I encourage Hamas to be more rational than it has been.”
Differences are due to US and “Israel” trying to detach themselves from existing ceasefire agreement and framework.

The talks at the KSA clearly demonstrate the true intentions of the US of A.
All in the name of the Zionists ideological cause and the extinction of the people of Palestine.
However, since their inception back in 1994 the Houthis stand together in unison and have a clear mission: to defeat the US of A, KSA and Israel for the brutalities and genocide committed against the Palestinian people for decades.

I even though this ceasefire was a sign that he would hold strong against the lobby.
Then I hear Rubio today call Israel “our people”, I remember Kash Patel swearing allegiance to Israel on Fox.
He’s surrounded by Zionists and now he is back to murdering Arab civilians.
There is no hope with Trump. He’s even playing games with the Russians. He’s going to start a hot war with China.

Looking on social media, there are reports that Trump bombed residential areas in Yemen, and not military targets – my thoughts are with the brave Yemeni’s – who have put themselves in the crosshairs of the Zionists, and their supporters – to try and prod the West into stopping committing genocide in Gaza.

The one who truly gambles is the one who takes a complicit or indifferent stance, for the result of that is eternal torment in hell.

This is from Alon Mizrahi, an Arab Jew and anti-Zionist living in San Francisco.

The short version of where I think we are:
In the last 3 weeks, 5 trillion has been wiped off the American stock markets.
In the next 3 weeks, it’s going to be 2-5 times that at least, as all signs indicate a wide, direct war between Iran and Yemen and Israel and the US is about to break in that timeframe. We are closer to this scenario than we’ve been since October 7. Iran won’t let Yemen fall, and Russia and China won’t let Iran fall. The Syria play is not going to be repeated (I think it was allowed, in part, to concentrate power strategically for the defense of Yemen and Iran).
In Israel, a new IDF chief has been appointed, and a new Shin Bet chief will soon be appointed as well; both have been sacked in recent weeks in a major push to cement power in preparation for a really big development that requires maximum fascist, centralized control over Israel’s most sensitive security apparatuses.
I also tend to think that the entire Ukraine push that we’re seeing could be a distraction or a propaganda maneuver to try and prevent Russia from seriously assisting Iran, and also to distract domestic populations in the West.
Everything points to a dramatic, seismic escalation, and it is part of the reason the American public is fed with so many small distractions: to preempt any serious opposition to this war, which has the full support of both Zionist-run Democrats and Republicans.
I have been saying for a year that Trump was appointed by American and Zionist elites to break the nascent left-wing Palestine-related awakening and go to war with Iran, which the Democrats could not sell to the American public (which is why they intentionally lost the election). And, god, it looks like it’s actually going down.
I also often say that October 7 is going to change history forever. That’s because it is. On the other side of this, we’re going to have a very different US, a very different Middle East, and a hugely different international landscape for Zionism and Zionists.
The peak power of Zionism in the West, represented in support for the genocide and war with Iran, is going to mark the beginning of its dramatic downfall.

May he be correct and this heinous evil begin to recede from the world.

With Massive Airstrikes on Yemen, Trump Intensifies Undeclared War Against the Poorest Country in the Arab World
Dozens of civilians were killed in U.S. bombings across Yemen as Trump vows to unleash “overwhelming lethal force” to stop the Houthi naval blockade targeting Israel’s war on Gaza
Shuaib Almosawa
Mar 17, 2025
SANA’A, Yemen—On Saturday, Nasser Mohammed Saad was at a friend’s home celebrating iftar—the evening meal where Muslims break their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan—when he received a distressed call from his family. His house in the al-Jiraf area, north of Yemen’s capital Sana’a, had suffered significant damage from U.S. airstrikes targeting a house just 50 meters away. Rushing home, Saad encountered the aftermath of destruction. “The house’s windows were shattered, the doors were torn off, and the water tanks were hit by some shrapnel,” Saad, 45, told Drop Site News. His wife and two of his children were inside the house at the time of the attack.
Late last night, U.S. warplanes struck Sana’a and seven other provinces in Yemen in what U.S. defense officials described as the beginning of a large-scale military campaign against the Houthis. Also known as Ansar Allah, the group took control of large swaths of northern Yemen, including the capital city, in 2014. The New York Times reported that Saturday’s strikes in Yemen hit radar, air defenses, and missile and drone systems, though it remains unclear if significant weapon arsenals were targeted. U.S. officials also claimed the strikes targeted at least one senior Houthi commander, though they offered no details. However, the naval and air strikes also hit residential areas, primarily in Sana’a and the province of Saada.
In response, on Sunday, Yemen’s Houthi-led armed forces said they launched 18 “ballistic and cruise missiles and a drone” at U.S.S. Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.
The U.S. attacks, which continued into the early hours Sunday, marked one of the largest single-day U.S. strikes on Yemen since October 7, 2023, with an initial toll of 32 people killed and more than 100 injured in what the Houthis said were 47 airstrikes. In Sana’a, early reports indicated that at least 13 people died from the strikes and nine were injured. In Saada province, north of the capital, four children and one woman were reportedly killed and 15 others wounded in attacks that struck two houses. “The majority of them were children and women,” said Anis al-Asbahi, spokesperson for the Health Ministry in Sana’a, told Drop Site. Al-Asbahi noted that rescue teams were still pulling victims from the rubble, and the death toll was likely to rise.
Scenes filmed inside Saada hospital revealed a chaotic environment, with medical staff rushing injured people, including children and women, on stretchers into hospitals and through corridors. Severely injured children were screaming, some with faces bloodied and burned. Others were covered with dust and blood, suggesting they had been pulled from the rubble. A few small victims were charred beyond recognition.

Former US envoy slams air attacks on Houthis – NZ protesters recite poetry
By APR editor –
March 16, 2025
A former US diplomat, Nabeel Khoury, says President Donald Trump’s decision to launch attacks against the Houthis is misguided, and this will not subdue them.
“For our president who came in wanting to avoid war and wanting to be a man of peace, he’s going about it the wrong way,” he said.
“There are many paths that can be used before you resort to war.” Khoury told Al Jazeera.
The danger to shipping in the Red Sea was “a justifiable reason for concern”, Khoury told Al Jazeera in an interview, but added that it was a problem that could be resolved through diplomacy.
Ansar Allah (Houthi) media sources said that at least four areas had been razed by the US warplanes that targeted, in particular, a residential area north of the capital, Sanaa, killing 31 people.
The Houthis, who had been “bombed severely all over their territory” in the past, were not likely to be subdued through “a few weeks of bombing”, Khoury said.
“If you think that Hamas, living and fighting on a very small piece of land, totally surrounded by land, air and sea, and yet, 17 months of bombardment by the Israelis did not get rid of them.
‘More rugged space’
“The Houthis live in a much more rugged space, mountainous regions — it would be virtually impossible to eradicate them,” Khoury said.
“So there is no military logic to what’s happening, and there is no political logic either.”

6/ Earlier today, Houthis announced they launched an attack on USS Truman. They further said:
“The Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to target all American warships in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea in retaliation to the aggression against our country. With the help of Allah Almighty, the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to impose a naval blockade on the Israeli enemy and ban its ships in the declared zone of operations until aid and basic needs are delivered to the Gaza Strip.
This American aggression will only increase the steadfastness, faith, and resilience of beloved Yemen and its steadfast, faithful, and struggling people.”

The Yemeni operation, a response to more than 47 American airstrikes across Yemen in the last day that killed dozens, was jointly carried out by its missile force, the UAV force, and the naval forces.

I think the Houthis were sufficiently forewarned. Someone I know who works on Yemen was not that impressed. The Saudis and the Americans have been bombing Yemen since 2015. There can’t be many juicy targets left unbombed.

Posted by: laguerre | Mar 16 2025 21:25 utc | 47

and when they said Saudis bombing Yemen, that meant USans and Brits in the control room doing the targetting.
It’s difficult enough for Saudi pilots to take off and land those F16s. Expecting them also to find the targets is too much. not that I despise Saudi pilots, it’s the methods of selection that are at fault. When I was in Saudi, only Najdis were chosen for any privilege, those close to the King. It is still the case, to judge from what I hear.

Voltairenet has a piece on HTS ‘ massacres of Alawites which suggests are not revenge for Alawite oppression of Muslims. Alawites took low paid jobs in the military, which other groups shunned.
He believes the massacres to be takfiri , or sectarian. Allah knows best.
Every analyst will take a different position on this.
Thierry Myessan points out that this sect adapted over the centuries from unhristian and unIslamic beliefs and has only recently been assimilated into Shi’a Islam, which it really has no connection to. So when Richard Medhurst says they share Islam’s basic idea of the Oneness of God, that is incorrect.
So I agree with Myessan that one motive was Takfiri Jihad but on the other hand Assad used his mostly Alawite army to fight the USUKIS takfiris. So maybe this was not sectarian revenge, more a military rout/ conquest?

Trump Derangement Syndrome, TDS, as far as the eyes can see on MoA. These liberal leftist globalist Demtards just had to attack Trump based on what they perceive to be an American war on Yemen. They can’t see the truth behind the fog of war, unlike me who consumes information exclusively from Truth Social.
You perceive that Trump has just murdered a bunch of Yemeni civilians, but that is merely your perception, not reality. This is a common problem with people suffering from TDS. You see, Trump inhabits my idealized reality, while anyone who dares to speak out against Trump inhabit concrete fantasies.
Do not besmirch the good name of our lord and savior Trump with your baseless accusations!
Trump just says things. We all know how he flip-flopped, like Kerry, on issues like tariffs and ending the Ukrainian conflict within 24 hours. Maybe the soldiers should have asked their Commander in Chief Trump if the order Trump gave 1 minute ago is still valid. Maybe Trump has changed his mind since then. It’s the fault of the troops for not questioning orders. It’s the land of freedom and democracy. Soldiers are free to speak their mind. Free speech is protected under the constitution. How dare you deny the agency of soldiers! It’s totally the soldiers’ fault for following orders like sheep. And you know I ain’t no sheep, ’cause I gobble down loads of truth straight from Truth Social.
Maybe it’s maskirovka or kabuki theater! By the way, pay no attention to the fact that I exclusively use non-Western terms to insinuate that masquerade/deception originates from the the perfidious East. Back to the maskirovka and kabuki: in this grainy still image of the latest public broadcast from the Yemeni Armed Forces, you see Yahya doing a secret hand signal that tells Trump to start the bombing of Yemen so that Ansarallah can gain the popular support it needs to march an army past the Saudis and the Jordanians and launch a holy war on Israeli soil. This was all perfectly manufactured theater! You faithless curs who doubted Trump for a second there! TDS! TDS!
You don’t buy that explanation? Okay, okay, how about this-
Maybe it’s the Globo-Homo-Commie-Islamo-Ukranian-Chinese Zionist immigrant DEI liberal leftists who are pulling the strings behind the scenes. Only imbeciles with acute cases of TDS can’t see the Judeo-Chinese Islamists spreading their tentacles over the globe. Don’t you know how powerful the the ChiComZio-Anti-American lobby is? The Khazarian Judeo-Bolsheviks are fifth dimensional chess players who plan to replace the pure white population of America with filthy immigrants, and what better way to flood America with immigrants than to create war refugees? The Jews must have kompromat (see what I did there) that makes Trump act on their behalf. America isn’t an Empire and Trump isn’t the latest in the long line of Emperors working hard to preserve the American Empire. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is very real, however.
As for the news reporting, don’t trust any media that paints Trump in a negative light.
Are you personally in Yemen right now interviewing each and every Yemeni? If not, how can you say with absolute certainty that the majority of Yemenis don’t like being bombed? If the survivors are condemning Trump, have you considered that maybe the Israelis have kompromat on the survivors and are forcing those Yemenis to condemn Trump, to show that they have power over Trump by turning global public opinion against Trump? Maybe Yemenis consume too much globalist Jewish leftist liberal media, causing them to develop TDS and irrationally hate America? Maybe Ansarallah is a tool used to weaken America that is secretly controlled by the Israelis. Ansarallah struck back against USS Harry Truman, a shining symbol of freedom and democracy, when Ansarallah should have sent missiles flying into Kiev, the secret seat of Judeo-Bolshevism headed by Caliph-Rabbi Zelensky the DEI Transsexual (the Israelis have gifted Ansarallah with ICBMs, trust me, I have trusted sources, the voices in my head, that tell me things).
What about the dead Yemenis?
How dare the patriarchal Yemeni men speak on behalf of the dead women and children! How dare they deny the agency of women and children!
What, dead people can’t speak?
In that case, we may never know if those dead women and children were begging to be bombed. They may have publicly expressed a desire to live long and fruitful lives, but what about those innermost thoughts that they never voice out? Maybe they secretly longed for a fiery martyrdom, and they prayed long and hard for American bombs to rain down upon them?
I’m just asking questions here.

Laws are subject to refinement. To me it seems clear that the religious has very much to be separated from the political, because they are essentially about different aspects of the human condition. The object of spirituality is the transcendental, that of communality is worldly. Both have to do with finding roots and principles which inform communality, but that does not mean they are but the same matter, or even identical.
Indeed I would go so far and remark a warning here, for uncritical conflation of the two can develop into religious fascism. Political Islam does have these tendencies.

I believe they hit an aircraft carrier or two under Biden, but under Trump? His ego would demand everything short of nuking Yemen.
Like most bullies, America has a glass jaw and can dish it out but not take it.
Trump’s ego, America’s ego, is not ready to handle a defeat. American mythology is that they always win even when they lose. Usually they f*^# a place up enough that they don’t have to worry about vengeance.
Now America is swimming with the big kids in Russia, Iran, and China. With Iran now, it could be all 3 working together. China is supposedly really pissed with the Blackrock coup that Trump engineered in Panama. They won’t attack out of anger, but my hypothesis that everyone is trying to manage America’s path to normalcy may be thinking it was too gentle. The Russians and Chinese understand the consequences of “sparing the rod” repeatedly.
I watched a video earlier today that has me thinking that a total and overwhelming defeat may be the best thing for Americans (due to the parasitic ZOG), sort of like how defeating Zelensky is probably the best thing that could happen to Ukrainians.
I hope the Houthis feel confident to go all the way.
Some of the things said today by Trump’s people as rationale to attack Yemen have me thinking that they are worried that the Israelis won’t be able to seize the Suez (for the West) from Egypt if Yemen is controlling the Red Sea. So Yemen is really in the way of Pax Americana’s global ambitions.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Mar 17 2025 3:23 utc | 64

the USA seems to forget that The Houthis have a large number of rather long-range missiles and drones, not to mention even some apparently hyper-sonic missiles that could do serious damage to the dozens and dozens of basically defenseless USA bases in the Middle East/Persian Gulf area; not to mention the stupid and vicious Emirates and Saudis who are helping the USA target Yemen/the Houthis.

The US has launched attacks on targets in Yemen and is expected to continue its operations for several more days. However, the strikes are less about directly confronting Yemen and more about sending a strategic warning to Iran.
Despite this escalation, the US is not engaging Iran militarily or effectively deterring Yemen. Even as Washington takes a more active and confrontational stance in the Middle East, its efforts may ultimately fall short of achieving long-term strategic success.

— 🇺🇸/🇾🇪 Hearing rumors that an extensive US-led bombing campaign against Yemen is in the works.
The campaign will aim to take out several high-value targets in a span of weeks, and if attacks on shipping don’t stop, they could target Yemen’s logistics.
Think electrical grid, ports, fuel storages, etc.
Simultaneously, the UAE-led Southern Transitional Council could attempt to stir up the civil war on the ground once again.

Further clarification, Trump wants America to control all Sea travel.
Trump forced the private HK firm that owns China’s infrastructure in Panama to sell to Blackrock, and at the same time many more BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) ports around the world.
China may yet block the deal based on national security concerns, but if they do, Trump will try to take Panama by force, which presents an impossible logistics situation for China to contest militarily.
Yemen being able to control the Red Sea gives them veto powers over global naval trade (which is outsized economic power for one of the world’s poorest countries). Iran and the Resistance cannot afford to lose Yemen. Yemen is one of the highest cards in this game.

The Yemeni Armed Forces also succeeded in thwarting an attack the enemy was preparing to launch against our country.

The Yemeni Armed Forces, with trust in God Almighty, continue to confront this criminal aggression and responds to an escalation with escalation. We will continue to implement the vows made by Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi regarding additional escalatory options, should the aggression against our country continue.

…The U.S. attacks, which continued into the early hours Sunday, marked one of the largest single-day U.S. strikes on Yemen since October 7, 2023, with an initial toll of 32 people killed and more than 100 injured in what the Houthis said were 47 airstrikes. In Sana’a, early reports indicated that at least 13 people died from the strikes and nine were injured. In Saada province, north of the capital, four children and one woman were reportedly killed and 15 others wounded in attacks that struck two houses. “The majority of them were children and women,” said Anis al-Asbahi, spokesperson for the Health Ministry in Sana’a, told Drop Site. Al-Asbahi noted that rescue teams were still pulling victims from the rubble, and the death toll was likely to rise.
Scenes filmed inside Saada hospital revealed a chaotic environment, with medical staff rushing injured people, including children and women, on stretchers into hospitals and through corridors. Severely injured children were screaming, some with faces bloodied and burned. Others were covered with dust and blood, suggesting they had been pulled from the rubble. A few small victims were charred beyond recognition.

I agree with the abandonment of Syria, but also accept other considerations now:
1) Globally, all nations are anticipating economic shock collapse/reset as the debt burden & desperation of the global currency holder is rapidly diminishing. This does cause all nation states to be focused entirely on the benefits of every intervention to their own nation states.
2) Russia & China are realigning the ME (West Asia) to extrapolate themselves from the mud. While Afghanistan has been traditionally noted off : “being where Empires go to die”… it seems to me now, the ME is gaining that mantle.
What the USReal project is doing, besides seeking all ME hegemony, grabbing shipping lanes and everything else, is mainly “disrupting” BRICS BRI. Here, Iran is critical.
I believe Russia & China see the folly in seeking to pull any of the 50 nation states out of the subjugation of US/USReal/UK, even though they have offered a way out. They have diplomatic ties, China has financial influence, but Russia really has little influence in the ME. They know Russia can’t go all in on a hot war in the ME with a current NATO hot war and all of EU at the same time.
Now they are concentrating on a “round-about”. That alternative has been on books for years and is coming to fruition, so the “great disruptions, of Yemen/Iran//Syria is in full throttle play.
NOTE:
Current Cradle article (much in this article, will only address/highlight Iran part in response to your post)
https://thecradle.co/articles/pakistans-pivot-to-moscow
“India’s tilt toward the US, as evidenced by its desire to acquire F-35 jets from the US and its joining the Quad alliance, forces Russia to balance its South Asian relations by fostering positive ties with Pakistan.”
“India’s hobnobbing with the **US and Israel and its strong military and economic relations with them*** have made a palpable adjustment in the geopolitical horizon of South Asia***
“Russia was **considering two potential transport** routes, namely trans-Afghan and ***trans-Iranian, to link Pakistan.
“Pakistan suggested the latter route and subsequently planned an inaugural voyage on 15 March,” Umarova explains. The trans-Iranian route, which will pass through Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,*** and Iran, will serve to minimize security risks and replace the poor transport infrastructure in Afghanistan** with a reliable system.”
In regards to defense shields and systems supplied or not to Iran, we must wholly consider Irans importance, as well as Yemen to Chinas Djibouti port.
I further recognize as never before, that the “Iran threat” for USReal is much less about “Israel hegemony” in the ME, as it couldn’t be more obvious with all the current Arab collaborators and subjugated Arab league, that USReal in fact does have the hegemony there already, but the thrust,
Main objective to pull Yemen and Iran into a long convoluted
West Asia Vietnam, is for the purpose of “disrupting” this very major and important for BRICS corridor.
At this point, Russia & China are not interested in guns blazing ME shenanigans and getting bogged down, but would rather peel away the outer rim, stay focused, and let the ME center collapse on itself, as it is frankly, destined to do, especially when the economy becomes impossible to upkeep all those payoffs.
The Empire recognizes it cannot “win” or “gain” a thing in its maneuvers and plots, it seeks now only to disrupt & thwart & eventually go to war with economic rival China.
I hope that Iran, et el serve their own populaces, future & prosperity by avoiding USReal traps, and that the populaces in the neighboring USReal currently engaged in expulsion & genocide do rise against their masters and demand accountable action against USReal.
Russia & China will not allow Iran to fall. But all are very alert to the trap at the feet.

Human rights lawyer – thinks that the US/Britain is bombing Yemen, because it was fulfilling obligations to by the ICJ and the UNGA.
“A prominent legal expert says Yemen is being bombed by the United States and the United Kingdom for fulfilling obligations set by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Craig Mokhiber, a US-based human rights lawyer and former United Nations official, took to his X handle, formerly Twitter, on Monday to condemn the latest American-British aggression on Yemen.
He said both the ICJ and the UNGA have found that all countries are “legally obliged” to cease any kind of support for the Israeli occupation regime amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The obligations, he elaborated, include banning any products from the illegal settlements, to cut off all military, diplomatic, economic, commercial, financial, investment, and trade relations with the Israeli occupation, to respect the provisional orders of the ICJ in the Israel genocide case, and to respect their third-state obligations under the Genocide Convention to act to prevent and stop Genocide.
“Yemen is being bombed for respecting these obligations,” he remarked.”

Only one law prevails:
The Law of the Jungle.
The Law of “Might is Right”
The Law of Eat or be eaten.
Those who understand this will prevail.

No Allah in the hereafter or the now.
No Afterlife at the end of a missile.

Trump ordered a large bombing of Yemen. But hey, it’s okay because he was “shot at by the Deep State” so he must be a good guy!
Fuck everyone who believed that fake Trump assassination. Fuck you and burn in hell forever.

So here’s the prediction based on the following theory – let’s see what the result of the real life experiment will show.
The new Syrian government will declare Yemen and Houthis and Ansar Allah as their enemies and choose the illegal apartheid entity’s existence over the ancient Levantines.
What’s the theory behind that – well many ‘commentators’ will ‘know’ because I posted it on the open thread last night, and they will have had their scripts saying to ignore it- turn a blind eye etc.
‘‘Mossad’s Syrian Imposter Yonatan Zvi-David aka Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani
by chloe » Mon May 18, 2020 10:03 am


“Mossad successfully embedded their mole Yonatan Zvi-David into top echelons of Al Qaeda, where he goes by nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani (al-Julani/al-Jolani).


The cover story Zvi-David used to infiltrate the terror group was that his name was Ahmed Hussein al-Shara, from the occupied Golan Heights in Syria.

Since that part of Syria is currently occupied by Israel, there was no way anyone could contradict the story about his origins.


In 2011, Abu Mohammed al-Julani was allowed by Abu Bakral-Baghdadi – later Islamic State (IS) Caliph – to establish al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch, Jabhat al-Nusra
2 years later, Yonatan Zvi David and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi fell out, after the former refused to merge his Al-Nusra into ISI under the new name Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).


On 28 January 2017. Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani announced the creation of Hayat Tahrir Al Sham, HTS (Assembly for the Liberation of the Levant).

He also claimed to have severed all ties to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.


Israel then used its influence in the West, to have Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (HTS) labelled as “moderate Syrian rebels” by USA and Western media, thus allowing for HTS to receive funds, weapons and training from governments in the West. “

Q. ” Are we at war with radical Islam?”
Trump : ” You don’t know who you’re dealing with.”
Q. ” Lol. I think you do know , Donald.
It’s the goldfish, swimming round its bowl , mouthing anti-US slogans with its little mouth. What are you going to do about it? ”
Trump : ” Look , I’m not a lipreader. You’re right. We’ll have to get the FBI to take finger prints, study the movements, check their skin colour.
I didn’t know we got Orange Terror issues before. We’ll have to check this out.”

Boss: Witkoff, you know what happened to Boehler. Do something if you wish to remain relevant in the Gaza talks.
Witkoff: Please check out my interview on CNN. I hope that is good enough.
Witkoff’s plan – 5 live hostages to be released as a bridging solution; no mention of resumption of food and other aid; no mention of start of Phase 2 talks and their conclusion within a given time frame; no mention of what are Hamas’ demands and what are the objections to them.
Hamas: 1 live plus 4 dead hostages to be released; food and other aid to be resumed. Israel to withdraw from the Philadelphi corridor; Phase 2 negotiations to start immediately and concluded within 40 days (or was it 50?).
Surely the differences can be bridged. I am still hopeful, notwithstanding what Witkoff said on TV.

Something to think about, for anyone who wonders why big bad T-Rex always bows down to Israel (from Caitlin):

Known things:
1. Trump is a servant of Israel.
2. Trump is on the Epstein flight logs.
3. Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence.
4. Epstein was running a sexual blackmail operation.
5. Trump is obstructing the release of the Epstein files.
Question:
Exactly how many kids did Trump rape?

I saw on Twitter yesterday that a whistleblower had said that Epstein files were being purged.
I don’t think it matters. “Justice” was never coming. If Trump can’t score political or rhetorical points, injustice isn’t a priority.
We don’t need the Epstein files to know that “elites” in Western society are evil degenerates.
We already know how easily and remorselessly they kill children and innocents.
I don’t know Trump diddled kids but he has killed a lot of them. Even yesterday in Yemen and he is far from done.
Every day now during the “ceasefire” his buddy Bibi is killing kids.
Killing kids is second nature to Americans. America was founded on a genocide of the indigenous people. They’ve never really stopped.
Many Americans don’t value life. It is simply not a value that they hold. American Christians?

Thing about Christianity is that it was dead by the time the Roman Empire made it state religion.
Once the Praetorian guard and Senate realised its potential for subverting conquered peoples it was bleached of sacredness and God.
Then Baal, Yaldaboth and Moloch (Father, Son, Holy ghost) placed at its center and the very symbol of what we do to those who oppose empire – the Cross – raised as its symbol as a warning to anyone who would come by saying things like “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God”.

My thing is the dissonance that many people have. We’re all susceptible to it.
How we get from “thou shall not kill” to enforced starvation is so very human, and we find ways to rationalize that it is morally correct and necessary to slaughter the innocent because we want what they have.
As a species we’re loaded with contradictions.

That accusation may not be exactly accurate (I mean, we can’t tell much based on the Lolita Express flight logs) but the five points are bang on point.
Aside from that, its beyond dispute that Trump is now a murderer of children and women:
https://youtu.be/NkJK6DHAEN0
“A deadly wave of U.S. airstrikes has devastated multiple locations in Yemen, with at least 31 people killed and over 100 wounded, including women and children. Shocking security camera footage from a store in Al-Jaraf, north of Sanaa, reportedly captures the moment a U.S. missile strikes.”
And shipping 2000-pound bombs to ‘israel’ to drop on Gaza doesn’t make him any less of a servant of Baphomet.
Anybody defending Trump to any degree might as well be defending Adolf Hitler’s prosecution of Krystalnacht. That’s a fact-based judgement. Emotion aside.
So I’d suggest you look in the mirror and have your own Trump Insanity Virus (TIV) checked out before it gets worse.

Given Trump’s well documented relationship with Epstein, his closeness with Zionism, and his disregard for the lives of children it’s not a crazy question to ask, particularly how hard he has worked to protect Epstein.
Let’s not forget, Epstein “died” under Trump’s watch. Years later the list remains hidden. Failure to deliver transparency always fuels conspiracy theories and speculation.
I don’t think it matters what Trump has done in the past. He’s mass-murdering now, and will continue to do so until he cannot, which inshallah, comes soon.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Mar 17 2025 14:01 utc | 95

The US-UK deliberately bombed civilian targets and infrastructure in Yemen.
Zero reaction from the BBC and other state media.
NATO are now routinely targeting civilians in Russia,
also with either silence or assent from their media.
Cluster munitions striking apartment blocks – what else can it be?
Whether US or French satellite targeting, the same result.
So it is now “our” policy to target civilians,
after the huge precedent of Gaza, how could they not?
It’s not polemic, it’s not Muh, it’s the simple fact that the US-Europe west is the Nazi Fourth Reich.
Nuremberg ropes on standby…
From the perspective of history in 200 years time, the entire west will wear the swastika.
This fact is not trivial.
We will not write our history.
