Did Israel Just Experience a 9/11-Style “Intelligence Failure”?

by Kevin Barrett, The Unz Review:

Probably not. Here’s why.

Yes, Israel’s failure to foresee and mitigate Operation al-Aqsa Flood was a monumental intelligence failure. But did elements of Israel’s government deliberately stand down their defense of the Gaza border wall? That’s the clear insinuation of David Ignatius’s new Washington Post article, which compares al-Aqsa Flood to the 9/11 false flag.

Ignatius, widely viewed as the CIA’s unofficial scribe, calls October 7 “Israel’s 9/11.” Ignatius asserts that the same “strange blindness” that afflicted the US national security apparatus during the run-up to 9/11 also struck Israel on October 7.

Time Is Running Out As We Witness Middle East And European Wars With Nuclear Capable Countries Taking Different Sides – Can You Survive In The Aftermath?

by Stefan Stanford, All News Pipeline:

No matter which side of the Hamas/Israel war you come down on, when we step back and look at events happening right now, including the Ukraine/Russian war which has been raging since February 2022, it is clear we are witnessing events that will alter the world as we know it.

It is not just Russia versus Ukraine, or Hamas versus Israel, nor is it Democrat versus Republican on which side of either war they come down on. It has become citizen against citizen, friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, brother/sister against brother/sister and husband versus wife.

America and Israel Are Not Democracies

by Eric Zuesse, The Duran:

In both countries, only candidates who are approved-of by the dictatorship are allowed for their names to appear on the ballot to be voted on (selected from) by the public. This pre-approval process is just as much of a dictatorship as is any other type of dictatorship.

A series of legal cases concerning whether donors to the 2016 U.S. Democratic Party Presidential primaries campaigns of Bernie Sanders had been cheated when the Democratic National Committee (DNC) violated its public verbal commitments and rigged the delegate-allocations etc., so that Hillary Clinton would win the Party’s nomination in 2016 regardless of what the Party’s voters wanted (“Bernie v. DNC” on 18 December 2015, and “Beck v. DNC” on 28 June 2016, which turned into the ultimate ruling, “Wilding v. DNC”, on 28 October 2019). That final ruling stated (p. 19):

Hamas Hides Behind Civilians

0

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Anyone inciting more violence does not understand that the civilians are trapped. Hamas continually hides behind civilians because they are cowards pretending to be men who attack vulnerable children and women on BOTH sides. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed this fact shortly after the group overtook Gaza and portions of the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority reported then that Hamas militias were using civilian hospitals as their military bases. “The Ministry of Health, along with all the Palestinian people, was shocked to discover that Hamas militias have returned to their old ways and have expelled all the medical staff responding to the calls of the homeland (to continue their work.) Unfortunately, these same militias used the medical centers, especially in a number of hospitals, converting them into centers for interrogation, torture, and imprisonment,” Palestine stated in 2009. Palestine begged Hamas to “act responsibly” and leave these medical centers, but Hamas is more powerful than the actual government.

The Myth of the Invincible Dollar

0

by Michael Maharrey, Schiff Gold:

I write a lot about the national debt.

And most people don’t care.

That’s because there’s a widespread belief that the dollar is invincible.

It isn’t.

The prevailing attitude is that the US government can borrow and spend indefinitely. After all, it hasn’t caused a problem so far. But a long fuse can burn for a long time before it finally reaches the powder keg.

Student Groups at Harvard Starting to Think Maybe it Was a Bad Idea to Sign Letter Blaming Israel for Hamas Attack

0

by Mike LaChance, The Gateway Pundit:

The reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel by left wing college students has been horrible and Harvard is no exception.

Dozens of student groups from the elite school signed a letter blaming Israel and supporting Palestine, which is represented by Hamas.

The public reaction to this has been near-universal disgust, and now these Harvard students are starting to worry about their future employment prospects.

The Autonomous Development Goals as an Alternative to the UN SDGs

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

If we are to counter “The Great Reset” agenda we must counter the United Nations and World Economic Forum by offering alternatives to their plans, including Agenda 2030.

The “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” was adopted by all UN Member States in 2015. Agenda 2030 is claimed to be a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” The Agenda 2030 is comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which are described as a method for “ending poverty and other deprivations,” with strategies that “improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.” The beginning of the SDGs can be traced back to the June 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where more than 178 countries adopted Agenda 21, an all-encompassing plan to “build a global partnership for sustainable development to improve human lives and protect the environment.” Agenda 21 would eventually evolve into Agenda 2030.

Get Ready, Because The U.S. Is Going To War In The Middle East…

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

We are on the precipice of a major regional war in the Middle East, and the U.S. military is going to be involved.  Of course if this war was just limited to a fight between Israel and Hamas, there would be no need for the U.S. military to intervene, because the IDF can handle Hamas quite easily.  But Hezbollah is another matter entirely.  Hezbollah possesses an extremely powerful military, and they have an arsenal of approximately 130,000 missiles ready to be fired at Israel.  If Hezbollah enters the war and starts firing thousands upon thousands of missiles at Israel, the United States will take action.

Guns for Hire: America’s Crisis State Goes Global

by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford Institute:

“Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great staffs, both of the old parties have ganged aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them in martialling [sic] to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”—Theodore Roosevelt

Federal Reserve Redoubles Efforts to Reeducate the Young

by Joshua D. Glawson, Activist Post:

The Federal Reserve has taken its propaganda activities into a new, younger medium, Instagram and Threads.

An announcement video posted to the social media platforms last week stars the “cool” Chairman of the Federal Reserve System himself, Jerome Powell. With his hair slightly askew, not wearing his usual eyeglasses, and flaunting business casual attire, he addresses his audience:

The Fed is America’s Central Bank working to promote a healthy economy and a strong financial system. That mission starts with you.
