Nothing sends chills down the spine of Israel more than the mere mention of the name ‘Hezbollah’. Nothing, no superpower nor hurtling supernova petrifies Israel more than the existence of Hezbollah’s muscle and missile at its doorstep. Israel does not fear Egypt; it does not fear Jordan or Syria or even faraway Iran, but, it is indeed absolutely and positively petrified of little Lebanon with its uncontested resistance army: the Hezbollah. And this deep-seated pathological fear has found much gory and exuberant expression since the Israeli military was soundly defeated by Hezbollah back in 2006. Every single Israeli military project right across the Middle East since 2006 has been about defeating Hezbollah and stopping the spread of its popular resistor-culture. And evidently, every Israeli attempt to achieve this for the past decade and a half has flatly failed.
Unable to best Hezbollah’s spectacular performance on the battlefield, unable to also access any consequential Intel on Hezbollah’s brains and brawn, and moreover, unable to ignite a sectarian civil war in Lebanon after numerous attempts over the years, a humiliated Israel resorted to engineering, through American hands and influence, the unleashing of an army of terrorist Takfiris on Syria: Damascus being the main artery of support from Tehran to Hezbollah in Lebanon. One could say that Syria was attacked by an army of head-choppers because Hezbophobic Israel could not directly retaliate against a victorious Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli master plan here was to cut off Hezbollah from Syria, thereby from its Iranian sponsor, and to flood both Levantean nations with Takfiri terrorists, thus specifically busying Hezbollah’s hands while the Israeli military “attacked it from the back”. Yet, alas for the Israelis, this diabolical plan to defeat or weaken the Hezbollah has only produced the opposite results for Tel Aviv. Syria, though severely damaged, still stands and remains a main artery of Iranian support to Hezbollah, and Hezbollah itself has increased its wholesale military and geopolitical powers even further. Now Hezbollah possesses an even larger stockpile of sophisticated missiles pointing at Tel Aviv and at everywhere else of vital value in Israel proper. Presently, there is not a single inch of Israel that’s not in Hezbollah’s cross-hairs. The Israeli military’s top brass know only too well that Hezbollah will most certainly use these missiles on Israel if provoked, or, indeed when a wider regional war is ignited. And this is precisely what is causing an incurable insomnia to both Israel’s military architects, as well as to all its Judeo-centric allies in the West: all flaccidly scrambling to find ways to assist a geopolitically cornered Israel.
But, dear reader, there is also another issue that Israel equally fears and loses much sleep over. A fear that has rattled Israel’s shadowy bones since the Palestinian Nakba back in 1948. An old, old fear. A terrorizing fear that Tel Aviv has somewhat succeeded at camouflaging and suppressing from the public eye and ear with the help of its propaganda arm in Western media.
This primordial Israeli fear, this mortifying bugaboo is known as the Palestinian ‘Right of Return’.
If Israel were to describe its perpetual nightmare, it would be one where Palestinian refugees are at the three land borders of the Holy land and pouring back into their ancestral territory in their millions.
This is your standard Israeli tableau of horror.
This is the very scenario that Israel fears the most. This, and of course, Hezbollah’s missiles raining on Tel Aviv and Haifa and Eilat and Dimona and every single illegal Israeli settlement and post.
Realistically, it is impossible to imagine Palestinian refugees returning to their homelands without Resistance missiles first clearing the path for them. And this, dear reader, this very combination of missiles raining and refugees returning is THE absolute and ultimate Israeli tableau of horror.
Presently finding itself in an intractable geopolitical pit of despair, and with all its plans against its Resistor enemies having thus failed since 2006, all that Israel can now achieve is easy land-grabs and annexations inside of occupied Palestinian neighborhoods in Jerusalem, in the West Bank and in the Jordan Valley: all areas already under Israeli control. Considered criminal and illegal by International Law, these imminent annexation maneuvers are justified by Tel Aviv as part and parcel of the dictates and content of the Deal of the Century: a unilateral Israeli-centric deal that not a single Palestinian the world over has accepted – not one! In fact, it appears to be the case that the rejection of the Deal of the Century is the only issue that all Palestinians agree on. This is because fundamentally, the Deal demands the total cancellation of the Right of Return of Palestinian war refugees back to their ancestral villages and lands. No Palestinian would ever accept this condition.
Moreover, the Palestinians see an existential threat that’s writ in invisible ink between the lines of the Deal. They see Tel Aviv’s nefarious second stage of the Deal: they see the illegal mass transfer of all Palestinians out of Historic Palestine, including the eviction of the Palestinian ’48-ers who hold Israeli passports, should the Palestinians break out into a Third Intifada and physically rebel against the Deal when it’s actually being implemented on the ground. Presently, the visible parts of the Deal of the Century are being promoted by Israel and her global media agents and politicians. The invisible part of the Deal will undoubtedly follow because the Israelis already know that the Deal will be rejected by the Palestinians and they have already prepared for this rebellion: mass and total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Historic Palestine. The big move. The breathtaking move. The wettest dream for the terrorist invader Jews currently occupying Historic Palestine. The ruling Ashkenazim Jews of Europe have long been dreaming of this – nay they have orchestrated numerous wars including WWI, WWII, the Bolshevik Revolution and numerous wars against the Arabs just to realize this blood-splattered Jewish dream. Engineered the mass murder of some 170 million non-Jews just to enable them entrance into Historic Palestine, which they achieved in 1948. And since then, Israel’s Jews have been on the final leg of their grand mission of taking over the whole of Historic Palestine: using inhumane and incessant brutality, periodical mass murder and expulsion of the native Palestinians. In effect, a full-on genocide committed sneakily and incrementally for some 72 years now.
In other words, the Deal of the Century is but a massive land-grab facilitator and the prelude to Israel’s ‘Final Solution’ to their Palestinian problem: atrocious mass murders and absolute ethnic cleansing right across the board.
We all already know that Palestinians are not waiting on Abbas to rescue them from the lethal Deal, despite him recently cancelling Oslo as well as all security cooperation with the Jewish state. Palestinians are not waiting on any specific Arab state either, or on the international community to rescue them and their rich heritage and history. But Palestinians presently are indeed en mass looking to the Axis of Resistance for salvage and liberation.
So what can the Axis of Resistance do for them? How will it react to the Deal? What does it have planned to counter the implementation of the Deal that Netanyahu has promised to begin applying on July 1st, 2020?
The answer to this must be the closest held secret in the universe. But, let us, however, look at their options – and they do have several options, bar one: surrender. There will be no surrender to the Deal of the Century.
Obviously, non-surrender implies war. And so it is. The only question remaining therefore is ‘when’. Who controls the timing of an imminent war? Here, consider if you may, that the side that’s positively ready for war and sacrifice is not concerned with who fires the first bullet and at what hour of day, but how to go to war and win with least casualties to their side. With this firmly in mind, let us then look at the options available to the Axis of Resistance and their assured response to Israel’s imminent annexation plans.
Option one: Upon Israel’s implementation of the first stage of annexation, the Resistance could conceivably go into immediate war with the state of Israel and its allies. A war where Israel will have to simultaneously defend itself on multiple fronts. Defend itself within against Palestinians in Gaza AND the West Bank: both sectors now fully armed by Iran and trained by Hezbollah. And defend itself without against its closest neighbors of Syria and Lebanon – and very plausibly against an incensed-by-Israel Jordan and Egypt too – as well as with Israel’s faraway regional enemies of Iran, Iraq and Yemen (including hundreds of thousands of trained volunteer fighters from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Malaysia). This means a regional war where the USA, UK and France (possibly other NATO nations too) will all jump into, either directly or indirectly, thus dragging Russia and China, either directly or indirectly, into a massive Mideastern power-grab confrontation: the eastern rising giants of China and Russia here geostrategically compelled and obliged to assist their mega assets-hosting nations of Syria and Iran. This option is a turbulent and bloody one that would lead to untold human and material losses, as well as needing much time and conferencing to negotiate a post-war disentanglement between a multitude of nations, all gridlocked in a foreign territory. Yet, despite the hectic burdens of this option, the Axis of Resistance’s sacrifices will still lead to victory for the Resistance as they have all the needed weapons to completely destroy a tiny Israel in a handful of days, and this despite the destructive hits they may suffer from Tel Aviv and its powerful allies. It’s a brutal ‘sooner than later’ liberation of Palestine and the eviction of Israeli and Western colonialists projects in the region. In this regard, we could say that the price for ‘instant liberation’ is the highest.
Option two: Wait for the Israelis to commit their usual and predictable atrocities against the rebelling Palestinian civilians – wait for massive global outrage then enter into warfare while riding the moral high ground and the coattails of massive global support for justice for the Palestinians. This option probably has the best optics: a war to save six million long-suffering Palestinian civilians from a rabidly racist, sadistic and genocidal occupier. A righteous war that aims to bring justice and freedom to the archetypal victim. The global masses will resonate with such an emotive narrative, and Western nations under the spell of Zionism would be hindered here to give full or prolonged support to Israel on account of public opinion at home being massively against it. This option is costly on both civilian and armed Resistor, but not as costly as the first one.
Option three: Knowing that Israel is a coward who tiptoes hunchbacked in the shadows; knowing too that Israel would not dare implement ALL its annexation plans at once and overnight, but instead, it will implement them incrementally and with unsteady hands: knowing all this, the Axis of Resistance may very well decide to hold back on any immediate explosive reaction to the annexation; let time pass and remain coiled and ready: hold back and just wait for the US Empire to weaken even further before entering into a direct liberation war with Israel. The equation here being a weakened US equals a severely, nay fatally handicapped Israel. And let us all be very clear here that it is the United States’ military protection of Israel that puts oxygen into Israel’s lungs. Without America’s military support to Israel, the Resistance could easily take on the Israeli army and defeat it and liberated the whole of Palestine today: right this very second, in fact. This is not bravado, but sourced information. It is only American military power and this alone that stands in the way of liberating Palestine. Simply, Israel is currently incapable of defending itself against the Axis of Resistance, despite its stockpile of illegal nukes and its hi-tech American defensive weaponry, gifted to Tel Aviv through the corrupt fleecing of the American taxpayer by DC politicians. This option will cost less lives than the two above.
Option four: Post-annexation, allow for Jewish Apartheid to massively flourish for several years, thus allowing for Israeli society itself to further disintegrate its democracy internally and become an abhorrent and much hated racist, rogue nation in the eyes of the globe, with barely any support for it possible even by its traditional European allies. This method is known as ‘forcing the snake to eat its own tail’, thus eventually, through a self-defeating Apartheid system, swallowing up its own deflated shekel and body politik: eventually strangling itself with its own masticating mouth; leading thus to its political disintegration a-la the South African model in the 1980’s – a model that saw the natives overnight reclaiming their rightful territories without having to resort to mass bloodshed and all out war with the tyrannical ruling colonialists. This option will cost less lives for Resistance fighters but needs much civilian sacrifice, as indeed, the punitive Jewish occupiers will in the meantime unleash horrendous levels of Apartheid violence against the increasingly restless native civilians.
Option five: Now, this here is an interesting option, an option that Hassan Nasrallah spoke of only last week. In a two and a half hour interview he gave to Al-Nour Radio, Nasrallah parsed various war issues and suggested for the first time ever the plausibility that Israelis, upon realizing in the near future that their American Empire protector is too weakened internally and externally and therefore unable to war any further on their behalf, and Tel Aviv also already knowing that an existential war with the Axis of Resistance would lead to a mass death of Jews and the utter destruction of Tel Aviv: these two sobering realizations will force it into radical withdrawal from the holy land altogether. In other words, facing sure material devastation and mass loss of Jewish life in the coming war, Israeli state architects would have no other smart option but to pack up suitcases and simply leave the holy land in peace before a lethal war is imposed on them by the Resistance. Indeed, the Axis of Resistance would most certainly take full advantage of America’s incapacitation and inability to protect Tel Aviv and activate thus their Liberation War. Just up and leave sans war is what Nasrallah is suggesting here. An astonishing yet plausible scenario. A scenario that is suddenly made more plausible by the rapid and palpable decline of American hegemony around the world, as well as the current disintegration of America’s society that we’ve all recently witnessed on the streets of half the existing American states: violent protests that the belligerent American security apparatus will find impossible to contain and control 100% and indefinitely, regardless of who is president. Protests that will keep waxing and waning till either the corrupt bi-partisan Status Quo itself surrenders and a new and more humane and equitable one takes its place, or, all out civil war breaks out in the United States of America: thus bringing with it proof positive that the American Empire has indeed fallen and its Republic now drowns in blood and chaos. That aside, the devastating affects of COVID-19 on the American military cannot be understated here either. Many of its bases are under COVID-19 restraints and presently, the US Navy has 26 of its navy warships under Covid-19 quarantine, thus leaving only two war-ready ships in the Middle East. And this, dear reader, is the major reason why the US did not, in fact could not challenge the Iranian vessels transporting fuel to Venezuela, despite an aggressive naval blockade against Caracas. This ‘suitcase’ option that Nasrallah spoke of is, of course, the most desired by the Axis of Resistance as it will be the least costly to its civilians and fighters. Of course, usually the death of an Empire does not occur overnight and this option requires extreme vigilance and exceptional patience on behalf of the Axis of Resistance. Two attributes that fortunately the Axis of Resistance is well-practiced in. But by the gauge of recent headlines on America’s speedy decline internally and externally, it would seem to be the case that Empire’s fall will not occur in faraway decades, but in the near to medium future, meaning: inside of half a decade.
Dear reader, any of the above options will work to liberate Palestine and the region from all foreign control and abuse. There is not even the slightest glimmer of doubt about this in the minds of the Resistance strategists whatsoever. It is the cost of various options and paths to liberation that the leaders of the Resistance currently pontificate upon, not their military readiness or capability. This here is the current status of the Axis of Resistance. And the option that will eventually be chosen will be dependent on the challenges that the US and Israel will throw at it in the meantime. Not forgetting here of course that the Masada-ists in Israel may very well panic in this meantime and reflexively and foolishly play a wild card out of dire, pathological fright: out of profound morbid fear of Resistance missiles clearing the way for the Right of Return. Their desperate fear and terror may very well drive them to miscalculate and choose a fight-to-death ‘today instead of tomorrow’, knowing that tomorrow Israel will be weaker than today. This would be the worst option for Israel as this will guarantee loss of mass life for them.
Whichever way the future wind blows in the Levant, all options and wild cards will lead to the liberation of Palestine. This we can be certain of: the death of Israel. Death at the heels of the fall of the American Empire.
The world will be forever changed with the coming momentous victory for the Axis of Resistance. And the countdown to victory begins… with Israel’s intended annexation on the 1st July, 2020.
To add to option five, Nasrallah said that the resistance will provide assistance and security to those israeli jews who have no blood on their hands and who wish to remain living in the holy land after the collapse of israel, further proving that as far as the Axis of Resistance is concerned, the coming war is definitively against zionism and its supporters and not against the jewish people as a whole.
The gate to a civil war in the US has been opened and there is not a single leader who can shut it and unite the two sides. Should Trump win the next elections, the black side will take it up a notch and pick up arms; and should Biden win, the redneck militias will themselves take up arms and lynching. Either way, there will be rivers of blood on the streets of America.
Post the defeat and dismantlement of israel, I foresee the following: Palestine, Lebanon and Syria will eventually form a united federation, fundamentally to boost the security of the Levant as a single whole, avoiding thus any future possibility of being brutally colonized again by outside forces. In a sense: a return to the historic open borders between them.
As far as rednecks in America are concerned, a civil war is necessary and existential. The demographic trends are presently against them and ongoing; and America's 'liberal multiculturism' continues to gain pace, with the next ruling generation already indoctrinated into the liberal education system and into socio-political Identitarianism. They feel that the situation is now extremely critical, especially if Trump looses the elections and the immigration-lax Dems take over.
And let us not fool ourselves here: the rednecks are extremely well armed, well trained and by far readier for a firefight than 'colored' America.
This is not to say they would win in a civil war – nobody today knows the answer to this – but it is important for all Americans to know that the rednecks are "goddamn ready today!".
Compelling reading, with depth and learned overview of historic and current situation. Looking forward to reading more of the same.
Thank you for your visit, Abu Ali. You are always welcome at Plato’s.
Because the above article’s theme is multi-layered and extremely complex, with so very many angles and players to cover, I tried my best to keep it simple and focused on the three main players: the US, the Axis of Resistance (as a single entity), and israel. But I hope to fill in the gaps via this comment section: writing about all other nations involved, Arab and otherwise, and analyzing the repercussions of what this coming Liberation War will have on them.
Deal of the Century repercussions on the Kingdom of Jordan:
The king of Jordan, who really should be ‘ruling’ his ancestral Hashemite swath of desert located in today’s Saudi Arabia, is in panic mode over the Deal. He knows that the israelis, through the Deal, aim to transfer all Palestinians into Jordan when their ethnic cleansing program is triggered. His nightmare is that the israeli ethnic cleansing slogan of ‘Jordan is Palestine’ would be a fatal earthquake to his rule. With 70% of Jordanians being of Palestinian origin themselves, the manicured King of Jordan fears that more Palestinian refugees thrown into his fake nation will politically destabilize his kingdom to death – new Palestinian refugees would demand democracy and reject monarchy rule. Currently, the Jordanian king is threatening the cancellation of Jordan’s peace treaty with israel, if Netanyahu’s ‘words’ of imminent annexation are backed by action. If Netanyahu’s promises to annex the West Bank end up being mere rhetoric to appease his voter base and a tactic to delay his legal problems, then Jordan will remain a stable(ish) American satellite cooperating with tel aviv. But should Netanyahu actually begin implementing the deal with its aims of transferring the Palestinians into Jordan, then we can expect the Jordanian army to immediately announce its membership into the Axis of Resistance co-op.
Let us here look at why the US supports the Jordanian kingdom. Two main reasons:
1- Jordan is basically an intelligence gathering satellite for Empire: being Arab, it can easily infiltrate other Arab intelligence agencies and pass information to the CIA and to the US’s military intelligence. The US very much appreciates this relationship with the Jordanian kingdom and has gifted Jordan, who is not an exporter of anything, by giving it financial support throughout the decades to keep its economy afloat. One could say that the only commodity that Jordan exports is intelligence materials and it has but a single customer: Empire. This is the only reason why Empire allows the kingdom of Jordan to exist. Without Empire’s financial support, support that also includes saudi petrodollars that the US forces the saudis to pay, the Jordan could not survive.
2- Empire holds onto the Hashemite kingdom because it would very much like it to eventually relocate back to its original home in the Arabian peninsular once the House of Saud collapses, thus insuring Empire’s continued domination over the Arabian desert in the future. In other words, the Jordanian monarchy is but saudi arabia’s understudy in the eyes of Empire. And once the Hashemites return to their ancestral desert, Empire intends to politically mold it into a democracy that’s symbolically ruled by a monarch, a-la England’s political structure. This will cause Empire the least future trouble when finally the last drop of oil has been extracted and the petrodollar goes the way of the dodo. The Hashemites would then be the rightful administrators of the lucrative islamic shrines, and its democratic government can then be financially supported by religious tourism – and both would remain under the influence of Empire who needs this influence to control the vaster islamic world.
These two reasons are fundamentally why Jordan is protected by Empire. But, the Hashemites may very well rebel against Empire if the Deal, that’s not been revealed and published in its entirety yet, does not include the simultaneous unseating of the House of Saud that then allows the Jordanian kingdom to continue existing at its original, ancestral address in the Arabian desert. The Jordanians will not lie down and die as sacrificial lambs in the name of israeli expansion and MbS’s longevity. And this puts Empire in a very difficult ‘conflict of interest’ dilemma. We shall see if Empire chooses the House of Saud over the Hashemites.
… If Empire survives the next few years, that is.
If a poll was taken in israel today with the single question of 'choose between option one and option five', I have no doubt that most israeli jews, especially the dual-passport holders, would choose option number five.
Nothing sobers the mind like the threat of sudden annihilation.
With option five, the Resistance has used the timeless war wisdom of Sunzi (Art of War). It has created an overwhelmingly ginormous and lethal threat that the enemy can only drop its weapons and turn away before the war has even begun.
The American security apparatus will continue to radicalize citizens with its brutal behavior towards protesting Americans. And with the application of brutal israeli crowd-control tactics (taught them by the israeli security apparatus), this radicalization will be speedy and widespread. Watching the latest video from 'Last American Vagabond' gives you a window to view this radicalization of the American populace. Worthy of your time:
And this is only the beginning. It’s a shock to even think of what may be happening on the streets of America come October and November 2020.
Israel's most powerful military arm is its air force. Destroying their take-off and landing strips, whose locations are known to the Axis of Resistance, will cripple israel's fighter jets in the first hour of war.
And israel's land forces are not in a state of readiness for a war on multiple fronts, as confirmed, yet again, by another israeli military analyst only this past week: Israel is not prepared for war. And they will never be prepared for the kind of war that the Resistance has planned for them. And the biggest weakness of the israeli army? Their soldiers are afraid to die. The Resistance soldiers are not afraid to die – martyrdom is their fundamental culture.
And Israel's navy? Don't make me laugh. Their nuke submarines are moot in a war scenario taking place inside of israel. These nuke submarines are designed to strike at faraway continental targets, not at the gay beaches of tel aviv where the flames of war will be raging. And israel's conventional navy is, well, breakable, just as Hezbollah proved back in 2006. If the Hezb could cripple an israeli frigate with a single missile as indeed they did back in 2006, they could by now most certainly cripple the whole israeli fleet in the thick of war. The israeli navy is considered by israeli war strategists to be the least capable of defending israel. They tend to rely, first and foremost, on their air force for absolute protection, followed by reliance on the army.
Unfortunately for the jews of israel, information and specifics on this topic in israeli media is censored by the army. The most intensive army propaganda in the world today takes place in israel, not on some small island in the middle of nowhere that's controlled by a despotic and tyrannical General. By the time the israeli collective realizes how weak their military really is, it will be too late.
A thief will never slink out the door at night but has to be shown the door.. They are so deluded that they will never leave without being shown the way out. We already know how the cowardly americans behave.. They never attack directly.. What is funny is how the US defeated the japanese by using so much firepower on small islands after cutting them off that less than a million soldiers ever saw combat. Thats right, out of 16 mil mobilised, less than 1 mil ever saw combat.. The enemies were defeated by far off weapons and just burried in the ruble.
“Lebanon denied its govt endorsed US sanction act against Syrian regime – to prevent any normalization by countries like Lebanon, China or UAE with Syria and hinder reconstruction efforts that has turned 14 million citizens into refugees.” (This effort to hinder Lebanon establishing good relations with those it chooses, especially Syriq and China, should be ignored – as part of never ending Israeli-orchestrated propaganda to further weaken all neighbors and prevent their reconstruction. Not going to happen, without war. Mike).
https://english.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2020/6/2/lebanon-denies-endorsing-us-caesar-sanctions-bill-against-syria
Caesar shmaesar – no one gives a toss about the Syrian Chalabi. And Diab's office statement that they "intend to study" the bill is a polite and stately way of saying: 'mind your own bees knees'. Nobody in Lebanon knows better the economic value of restarting trade with Syria better than Diab himself, and he has not shifted away from this natural line of thinking at all.
And the 'Alaraby' is a stupid saudi rag with a shadow editor-in-chief sitting in tel aviv.
Taxi – thanks for pointing out > ''Alaraby' is a stupid saudi rag with a shadow editor-in-chief sitting in tel aviv." I mentioned that article was propaganda, including its use of 'regime' to describe Syria. Alwasys appreciate your info RE assisting sorting the many fake propaganda sites from the few more trustworthy.
That ‘regime’ word is such a giveaway, isn’t it?
@ taxi,
Thank you for another piece of poetry in motion, even if the message itself meanders through the portals of a possible bloodshed on an unprecedented scale.
That should be first
The demise of the US as an empirical force started when it fired a folly of 60 cruise missiles at Syria. Militarily, the US hasn’t been a force to recon with for centuries. It did have technology, it did have manpower, but it never had generals with long term vision, although the exception was MG Smedley Darlington Butler.
The Axis of resistance should not wait for the US to collapse. When Occupied Palestine lashes out, you hit it so hard [kill so many in return], it will shit in its pants and bugger off. For way too long this malignant entity has gotten away with blatant murder and slaughter of innocent Palestinians. This entity doesn’t do reason, it doesn’t do justice. So, kill it and be done with it. There simply isn’t any other, humanly induced, option.
They don’t respect me. I don’t respect them. I prefer to live in a balanced world, where my personal motto of ‘Live and let live’ prevails, but when faced with this abhorrent monstrosity, I know a mercy killing will suffice to bring back peace among nations.
Their days are numbered, if only they’d realize a clock is ticking.
Salutations to you and to Smedley Butler (what a man and what a name!). And thanks too for the typo alert – really appreciate it – it’s easy to miss typos when you are your own editor.
If the Axis of Evil starts making weird moves, then I’m sure the Axis of Resistance will bring the skies suddenly down on them.
@ taxi,
You’re more than welcome. Been there many times myself . I sometimes saw words that weren’t even there [on the page] :o]
Taxi, this is an article to be kept close by for a long time, extremely well thought out with plenty of info for multiple other articles, impressive job indeed, know you've been sitting on this one for weeks, but hell it worth it every single extra day you took to write it down. My deepest appreciation for an incredible piece, thank you.
Option 5 is very possible, the new soft apartheid society will never be able to go through what Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Lebanon went through…bombings, many thousands of dead and the loss of their comfy life in stolen land. The moment is getting ripe for the apartheid regime to feel the heat….on their neck.
Thank you, Canthama – kind words. And actually, three weeks ago, it only took me a couple of hours to write the article (which I added a little to a couple of days ago). The problem with the delays in publishing was that I was stuck finding the right headline and artwork. My brain would just not cooperate and conjure up anything that was unique and positively exciting for me. In the end, I got fed up waiting around for ‘brain’ and reluctantly used the first ideas for both headline and artwork that I’d originally come up with. Am happy with the article itself but I could have done a better headline and image – oh well, it is what it is now.
And regarding option 5. Never mind that the israelis are spoiled brats who’re known to incessantly complain about their living conditions while in luxury shelters during the 2006 and Gaza wars, it’s israel’s lauded ‘elite brigades’ who can’t handle battle environments. That a handful of Hezbollah’s part-time soldiers easily outsmarted and defeated israel’s elite brigades back in 2006: this in itself should be the most concerning issue for israelis, not how big the TV screen is in their gilded shelters.
Thank you.
And I thank you for your visit, dear Ola.
Great article Taxi. One of your best. I love the Party of God and have always known, since I began learning about them in the late 90’s, that they are the key to the dissolution of the illegal apartheid state. It is as if they are a divinely appointed instrument to save Palestine (and the Levant) and drive off the zionists. (almost in an analogous way to that of Jeanne d’Arc who was, according to the historical record, a”divinely appointed instrument” to save France).
Option 5 is clearly the best and may be possible. A few years ago I could not have imagined it. It would take the israeli military leaders to push for that awareness in society. I’m afraid the zealots in israel will not accept defeat, however, and will, driven by their well-documented hubris, start a conflagration that will lead to their destruction. I suspect option 2 or 3 are the most likely.
Thanks, Saladin.
Yes, Hezbollah consider their quintessential purpose in life, which is the liberation of Palestine, to be divinely touched. They are so very aware of a divine force embracing them because of it. This is why, as warriors, they are very profoundly attached to their pious lifestyle. They believe all their strength and successes have been gifted to them by god because they are righteous, humble, moral, and with a godly purpose. They live by their beliefs through and through. They are not hypocrites and they are not corruptible. And this is why they will indeed achieve the unimaginable. Liberating Palestine.
Option five excites me the most. Because it indicates that the strategists of the Axis of Resistance are gifted with an enormous and ingenious capacity for both intellectual and inner strength. Because it carries with it a victory way beyond the brawn of the battlefield. And because of the larger than life mythology it would birth with it. It’s such a special phenomenon for such a thing to happen: to force a mighty military force to stand down, and only supremely gifted people can achieve such a breathtaking feat, such a… well, ‘divine’ victory (for lack of a better word). And of course, the bloodless side of it is very much a mega plus.
And them jewish “zealots” you refer to, let me tell you something about them, Saladin: they are born cowards. Only a fraction of them, a fraction that has very little to no control over military decisions, only them minority idiots would opt for a direct war option when it’s obvious they would lose. You’ll be surprised how fast the majority of the zealots stop being so zealot when their life is on the line. Let us remember here that historically speaking, when in deep-deep trouble, jews either converted to other religions, or went deep-underground and for centuries with their judaism. And the ‘Masada’ myth that israel’s ‘personality’ was intentionally weaved from is exactly that: a nationalistic myth intended to give the jewish collective an inflated sense of heroism: something that jews have historically lacked. The proof that Masada is pure governmental propaganda and not actual religious history or fact is that archeologists found many barbecued pig bones buried on Masada mountain where supposedly the heroic jews under enemy siege had camped – about the most unkosher thing that jewish archeologists could have dug up. This told the world that the Masada story of jewish heroics and self-sacrifice is but a silly fantasy that never actually took place. When the jews arrived to establish israel back in 1948, they arrived without a single true heroic story from their long history to pin to their flag, so they just freaking invented one. Simply, the enemy is a born coward and will always behave in this manner especially when it comes to the crunch. (Always know thy enemy, and all that)
Look, just because they pack up suitcase and leave does not mean that they have given up their covetousness for Jerusalem. Jews will do what they’ve always done when they’ve been evicted from nations. The will go into a dark corner, lick their wounds, and when they’re better and able to usurp again, they will come right back all sneaky-sentimental, butter you up and hope for better success at fooling-you-then-killing-you next time round. Whatever option ends up evicting the jews from the holy land, they will from afar keep conspiring and working on their return. And control of Jerusalem, as we know, is a fixation and a motivator for them. Soon as they leave, they’ll start plotting their return. And this is exactly why I support the concept of federalizing the Levant post the liberation of Palestine. The combined natural resources and military forces of Lebanon, Syria and Palestine would indeed give the whole of the Levant by far higher deterrence against further colonialism, and better security for all their people all round. I support this out of practicality and not out of political ideology.
And one last thought on your ‘zealot’ reference: the dual-passport jews who would opt for a peaceful exist/option 5, would go to ballistic civil war with the zealot jews before they would let them force an annihilation war on the tribe. I’m inclined to think that the religious zealots will easily be dealt with: if at zero hour they charge maniacally and unilaterally at the Axis of Resistance, then they will all die and their death will be seen as the death of the insane and not of the heroic.
Well said, Taxi. I agree the "zealots" in israel are cowards. Without the US shield to protect them, they are toast. The whole of the apartheid state is, as Nasrallah famously said, weak as a spider's web. They are so profoundly brainwashed, though, in their myth of invincibility and "specialness" that (even after their defeat in 2006 that shook them so deeply) they may be driven to attempt the insane, and trigger a war. I admit that part of me would like to see their military crushed by Hezbollah. But my higher self knows the best way is option five. So many lives would be spared and so much sorrow and destruction avoided. It would be a miracle. We'll see.
On the last Al Quds day, many Resistance leaders were coordinated to give a brief televised speech to mark the importance of the occasion. Here’s Nasrallah’s part, and this time with English subs – about 12 minutes long:
Nasrallah speaks on Al Quds Day 2020
Him and his buddies, they’re all headed to Jerusalem and ain’t no power gonna stop ’em.
Occupied Palestine will go the way of Scotsman McGregor. Lots of hubris and hot air, but in the end they’ll look like this:
The universe is all about balance. When out of balance, corrections will occur, one way or the other…
Correction: he's Irish.
If only Americans knew that our police force was trained by Israel:

@ Cloak & Dagger,
More importantly: do/would they care and do something about it? They’re outlawing BDS [a peaceful movement, one that the jewish run Fake Stream Media keeps attacking at every turn] all over the place and will pull their trusted AS card out of their asses to silence you and me [or worse, get our careers torpedoed and our livelihoods destroyed].
The ‘chosen ones’ are clearly the ‘devil’s’ choice.
Wow, thanks Taxi for this detailed analysis of how the 'endgame' might unfold. Great article
I agree with Saladin. As much as number 5 would be the very, very best solution for all concerned, it's unfortunately the least likely outcome in my opinion. The brainwashing in that abomination pretending to be a country is severe and continues relentlessly from cradle to grave. And the vast majority fully believe their fake concocted mythology that it's their 'rightful' land and home and they are invincible. And in the worst case their god or the USA will save them
As impatient as I am (and I really, really am) to witness the liberation of historic Palestine, I believe that the most likely option is number 4. Definitely not my preferred option but I believe that this the way that events will unfold
Thanks Bornajoo. I tend to go for option 3 as the most probable one because option 4 involves too many civilian sacrifices while fighters just stand idly by. The Resistance fighters are by far more ready for martyrdom than civilians are. Their mission is to die in the name of saving civilians and liberating territories. It would choke them to no end to have to see so many civilian casualties fall while they do nothing.
I reckon that soon as the architects of the Resistance get a signal that the US is weakened to a specific needed point, they will then immediately enter into their liberation war. For example, if the US hits a new low point in their hegemony on the 2nd November 2020, the day before the US elections, I will not be surprised at all if the Resistors start raining missiles on tel aviv on November 3rd.
Now THAT would be the most dramatic day ever this side of the 21st century – and the whole sane side of the world would reel from joyous surprise.
Just imagine waking up to the simultaneous news of the death of israel as well as the news of a cancelled US election due to outbreak of civil war. The destiny of the two terrorist nations are interwound: either they both succeed or they both fall. The only difference is that the US has a chance of recovery whereas israel has no chance in hell of surviving the coming war.
Hello all. I’ve been reading Plato’s Guns for at least a couple of years now. I am so grateful for you Taxi and for the community here. You have all helped me to simply accept that I am flat out 100% anti-Judaism. I would say anti-Semite but Palestinians are the real Semites right? So it would be completely incorrect to call myself anti-Semite. Anti-Khazar yes, Anti-“God’s Chosen”, Anti-Talmud, yes all those things.
I want to tell you that my wife is Jewish and she knows that her tribe is evil. I introduced her to Gilad Atzmon a few years ago. Of course she loves his music, but she especially loves his open, strong heart and irrepressible integrity. I learned a few months ago that she was regularly reading Alan Sabrosky and she now realizes the Holocaust is at best horrifically exaggerated. Very sadly our young adult kids consider themselves Jewish. I fully supported them going through the ADL’s No Place for Hate program in middle school as well as the high school club version of that. It was too late before the scales fell from my eyes and I realized that I let my kids be brainwashed by pure evil.
When I got to your comment about what the Resistance might unleash on Nov 2 or Nov 3, I felt an incredible sense of relief. It is a bit of a strange sense of relief in that there is no real elation that goes with it. It’s just relief that one of the worst groups of people ever to inhabit the planet, is so close to getting what’s coming to them and those who they oppress so murderously will FINALLY know freedom. I don’t typically pray and I’m not sure I should be praying for missiles to rain down on Tel Aviv and Israel on Nov 2/3, but I think I can come up with a prayer for Israel to receive the justice it so richly deserves.
As insane as the US already is, I am absolutely terrified of hundreds of thousands let alone millions of Israelis relocating to the United States. They and theirs have already infected this country perhaps beyond saving. I will have to leave this country if large numbers of Israelis move here. I may have to leave it anyway as the Jews destroy this country daily and at an ever increasing rate.
I assume that people here are aware of the Nation of Islam’s 3 volumes on the Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews? And here the non-NOI Blacks in America are carrying out the hidden but irresistible wishes of the evil tribe as they destroy their own communities and as they turn their wrath on white people who (at least until now) bear them no ill will. God help us.
Thank you again Taxi and company. And Taxi, thank you for giving me something incredible to look forward to regarding the upcoming election!
Dearest GoldenRulePlease. Thank you so much for an incredible share. Wow. So very generous of you to share your personal story. Thank you again. So much there to chew on. But do allow me please another day to respond in detail. Your comment deserves my full attention and regard and unfortunately, I’ve just run out of brain-steam now that sunset is upon us and my dinner awaits, followed by a little read and my usual early sleep. All that good country air sure does soften the muscle soon as night falls. Till tomorrow then, my friend…
GOLDEN RULE PLEASE,
I think we been discussing population density changes around the planet.. and only 2 countries remain static.. india and china, all western countries lose massive amounts of population in the next decade.. In the US the number is down to 100 mil.. They dont say how this happens but if a lot of israeli's move to the US I can see a massive exodus of americans to like south america.

Deagel predicted that US population would decline by >2/3 to 100 million by 2025 and that UK population would decline 80%
Deagel Report
Taxi, so kind of you to want to give me a full reply. Bless you! I am honored by the reply you already gave, so don’t sweat it if things get too busy.
Igor – I did not know anything about Deagle. I found this page (https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/deagel-makes-mysterious-changes-to-2025-population-forecast-for-america-as-bill-gates-launches-grand-challenge-the-holy-grail-of-influenza-research-and-bridging-the-valley-of-death/225101) from 2018 (which presciently calls out Bill Gates for his warning that 30 million people would die from an upcoming flu pandemic).
So apparently Deagle is Deep State / CIA and they are forecasting a population of just 100 million Americans by 2025. What the eff? That’s terrifying. I’ll add that as a source to watch and better understand. Thank you for the heads up!
Dear Golden Rule.
Your jewish wife must be an exceptionally kind soul to be able to walk in parallel with the wondrous Gilad Atzmon. I don’t mind here to tell you that Gilad and I are good friends; he’s even visited me here in the Lebanon a few years ago. Nowadays he lives in Athens – we laugh via email and wave hello to each other from across the Mediterranean waters. If not for Covid, this summer I’d be heading out to Athens or he over here to the Lebanon (which he loves dearly) for a meet up. I’ll be telling him about your wife in my next email and I know for a fact that he’ll be thrilled to hear that a jewish person understands his thinking and agrees with his rationality and universalism – there are so very few jews who do, you know – usually, Gilad resonates only with committed ex-jews and unbrainwashed gentiles. Plato’s has a few ex-jew regulars, one of them being the ever endearing, intelligent and humanitarian ‘Bornajoo’.
Golden Rule, I feel your regret and pain at watching your kids get indoctrinated by the evil chosenites – man, what a burden of guilt you must carry. But, fortunately, not all is lost. I believe your children’s condition is reversible. Plenty of jews have already broken through the horrid tribal brainwash and now live as free individuals sans the planted, unnatural fear and hatred of Gentiledom: Gentiledom being another word for collective humanity. All you need to do to counter the ugly jew brainwash is to teach them that they are NOT chosen – that they are loved and adored, as indeed non-jews are loved and adored too. Find ways and opportunities every day to break this destructive ‘chosenite’ pattern of thought in them. It is really the concept of chosenness that is the essence of the problem of jewishness. Hell, they can worship the pagan devil’s double dick for all I care, but it’s their ‘chosenness’ teachings that turn a naturally soulful human into a pernicious and malefic hater of humanity. It is the ‘chosenness’ mindset itself that promotes genocidal inclinations. It is this very chosenness that leads to severely diminished human empathy and kindness. And it is the obsession of insisting on and defending ‘chosenness’ that creates a world of savagery and lack of lenient soul. Evidently and intentionally, it is ‘chosenness’ itself that has hindered our collective human progress towards meaningful peace – and what is ‘peace’ but the willful tolerance of ‘the other’? If not for relentless jewish scheming against gentiledom for some three thousand years now, the world would be at a far more advanced stage of collective development and peace. A world where people do not rush to murder ‘the other’, but instead, calmly marvel at the difference and variety of human thought and ideas.
So, dear GRP, if your children are still small, just you be mindful and focus solely on countering the ‘chosenness’ aspect of your children’s judaic indoctrination, by socializing them regularly in non-jewish environments and activities that they enjoy. Perhaps, if possible, allow and encourage friendships with different nationalities and races without exception. Interactions with a wide spectrum of people will eventually, naturally dissipate the ruinous introversion and exclusivity of their tribal indoctrination. I also advise encouraging them into wide artistic indulgences that stimulate their own natural imaginations and diverts them as far away from tribal ethno-religious concepts and thus reconnects them directly with their individual human essence. And if your kids are grown ups, then engage them in regular respectful discussion on the benefits of inclusivity and the multi-layered rewards of adhering to the combination of rationalism and humanitarianism (Athenianism, as Gilad would call it), instead of mentally operating out of religious mythology and thus seeing the world and life itself through the wonky prism of politicized religion.
Counter the ‘chosenness’ brainwash is really all you need to focus on. This is the linchpin.
I hope you don’t find my above advise intrusive or offensive. But I do believe there is a positive way for one to extract oneself from the blight of judaism, or any other twisted cult for that matter, especially if at least one parent is reliably supportive in this endeavor.
And as regards the ‘Resistance and November 2nd-3rd’… I used these dates as an example to demonstrate that should the Resistance eggheads determine that the US is weak and distracted enough on such dates, it would not surprise me if they went for the ‘big one’ at this time. Of course, I don’t know the exact date of the commencement of the Liberation War, but if it did happen on 2nd-3rd November, then it would be a most delicious irony for israel, as usually, it is tel aviv that takes advantage to mass murder or inflict brazen acts of terrorism that are contrary to the interests of the US on such a grand date, taking full advantage of DC’s distraction with its elections. We’ve seen israel do this repeatedly – it’s on record – it’s an obvious pattern of behavior for the terrorist jewish state. Personally, I would absolutely relish it if the Liberation War began this coming November 3rd – goddamn it just the thought itself positively thrills me like nothing else in the universe heh! But, whatever date the war falls on, rest assured that the Resistance has the means and the smarts to be UTTERLY victorious – and this day of victory is one that will be coming in the ‘near future’ and not the far one. Their top public truth-teller, Hassan Nasrallah himself, since the beginning of this year has been speaking about the war in terms of the ‘near future’, whereas always before 2020, he talked about the Liberation War as one that would take place in the medium future. Of course, when the timing of war is brought up, Nasrallah always also adds that war could even possibly break out “tomorrow if the israelis miscalculate”. But I think he has been saying this phrase for a long time partially as part and parcel of his very successful psychological war against the terrorist jewish military. The running joke here in south Lebanon is that the israeli military leaders are by far the most avid listeners of Nasrallah’s speeches – more avid than even the southern Lebanese themselves heh.
In the meantime, while we wait for the greatest ‘big one’ of all, let’s just enjoy the breathtaking cliffhanger, shall we?
Taxi! Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a thoughtful reply. You are so kind!
I’m trying to think of how you can tell Gilad who my wife is without me completely doxxing myself before I am capable/ready of moving out of the US lol,cry. How about this – when my wife and I went to hear him in person for the first time, I think it was a couple years ago now, he was co-speaking with Richard Forer (author of Breakthrough: Transforming Fear Into Compassion – A New Perspective on the Israel-Palestine Conflict) at a little Unity church. He played brilliant jazz the next day at a cool little club which we also joined. At the speaking engagement the evening before at one point while Richard was talking, Gilad walked over to the side where we were sitting in the 2nd row. He leaned towards us, looking at my wife he asked her “Are you Jewish?”. It was really quite hilarious. I think that evening was a turning point for my wife. She hadn’t yet crossed that line where you know to your deepest fiber that you’re not crossing back. You’d basically rather die than lie to yourself like that again. Gilad really helped her complete that step.
In any case, when you do get to see him again, please give him a big warm hug and hello and gratitude from us through you to him.
Isn’t it amazing how Chosenness is at the root of such evil? American Exceptionalism has enabled all kinds of evil as well, but it is a pale and weak shadow compared to monstrosity of Chosenness. Amazingly the relentless attack of the Chosennites on American Exceptionalism have nearly stomped it out. I find myself concerned more now by it’s deep fading than I would be of it’s continued presence. If Americans (gentiles / humanity as you point out) were wiser and more courageous they would concede American Exceptionalism, while pointing out Jewish Supremacism. We would most definitely NOT concede that whites deserve less than anyone else, that whites are collectively guilty because of crimes of ancestors. If whites are to be held collectively guilty then the jews better fucking watch out for the same to happen to them. Without a doubt, they have more for which to atone.
To answer one of your kind concerns Taxi, I do NOT find your advice one bit unwelcomed or intrusive. In effect I’ve asked for it (I don’t know how consciously I did so, but it feels true as I reflect) and I am absolutely amazed to receive it. I have told you part of my story and am grateful to receive your attention and wisdom.
My kids are young adults so my ability to influence them has waned considerably. That said, I’ve reached the point where (within the confines of my fear of losing my job) I am pretty explicit that principle is more important to me than fake relationships that rely on appeasement or dishonesty on anyone’s part. (Golden Rule, lol) My kids know this about me and accept it to some degree. One believes intellectually but not in the gut, that I’m a racist and an anti-Semite. That one loves me completely and cares much more about our relationship than being right. Major wisdom in that kid.
The other is closer to thinking I’m really truly a racist, but still loves me if somewhat begrudgingly. God bless them and god bless every last one of us.
What’s perhaps more interesting is watching them relate to their mother as it dawns on them that she has taken the red pill and is not going back. They don’t yet realize how far off the reservation she has gone in terms of judaism but that day is coming. They could figure it out quite easily if they simply asked her a few pointed questions, lol. That’s probably how it will unfold.
What is amazing me now in these days of Covidiocy is the way Talmudic rule over us is everywhere visible to those willing to see reality. Calls for mandatory vaccinations, vilifying and criminalizing people who are skeptical of vaccines, calls made with moral righteous indignation by half the population to have still more of our rights taken away. Calls for whites to pay reparations, to kneel, to debase themselves. Unbelievable but predictable in fact that the talmudic racist supremacists would reach this point.
Thank God for the likes of Hezbollah and Nasrallah and Bashar al-Assad. There is so little going on in the US that I can take hope in. But on the other hand I have met some amazing people during this time of covid. It is clarifying to see who supports and acts like a bolshevik versus who acts like a sovereign, fair dealing human being.
Thank God for you Taxi and for the people here and for the people you introduce us to.
@ taxi,
Also compliments on your ability to always find those very interesting pictures. Really awesome.
Thanks for the very kind words dear Taxi
All I can say is that life is soooo much better as a universal human being, rather than a chosenite.
It is indeed a cult and ultimately right & wrong is overridden by loyalty to the tribe. Whatever the tribe does is right and all chosenites blindly agree, even if it's completely wrong.
And I agree it's never too late to escape. I've witnessed people in their 60's and 70's break free from the brainwashing. One ex Israeli friend (someone like Gilad who has renounced both citizenship and religion/ritual) of mine used to take Jews from the UK and his also his Israeli cousins to witness a typical checkpoint in the West Bank in the height of the summer. Just watching human beings treated far worse than cattle, queuing in cages for hours on end in stifling heat and humidity, being shouted at, having their dignity removed and in some cases even collapsing in the endless queue, is enough to flick the switch. It just takes one moment when you realise it's WRONG and it simply cannot be supported and that your tribe are just as bad as the Nazis. And that's the very lightest end of the occupation. Everything else is way darker and far more sinister but usually out of public view
To me, today, anyone who is part of that tribe and supports the so-called state of Israel is an extremist cult member, thoroughly brainwashed and is unable to tell right from wrong. We've waited for decades for them to change and do the right thing but instead they've entrenched their position and have become even more brutal, evil and bloodthirsty. And they want to continue to take even more of what doesn't and has never belonged to them
So now we wait for Hezbollah and the Resistance to take care of this stain on humanity on our behalf. A day we all very, very much look forward to
You mean like this pic here below? The largest American flag ripped by a storm two days ago. A portend of things to come? Probably.
A trend…?
Let’s start calling it ‘Lucifer’s Lock’.
@ taxi,
That makes it an inhuman act.
Let's call it what it really is: a 'Kvetching Kill'
Please watch this – please make time for it:
It’s just simply stunning how many mass protests are taking place around the world right now. People everywhere taking to the streets against racism and against loony-tunes Trump: the poster-child for global racism.
Except in Lebanon, the racist right-wing party there, al-Kata’ib, took to the streets of Beirut today to protest against a non-racist government lol. And guess what? They too had neat piles of rocks left for them at key junctions in the city, just like in the USA. The Leb army took a beating from them, but managed to disperse them with much tear gas: the kind that makes your eyes burn and not the type that the US and israel use that makes your eyes burn AND your breath short and panicky.
… And what were the demands of the Leb protestors? For hezbollah to surrender its weapons. LOL. Thanks israel. The US embassy heard your demands loud and clear and passed them to the smallest and least powerful political party in Lebanon's political landscape. Oh and all them Leb SJW's fresh out of the American University of Beirut, they were there too, but demanding the army arrest the police for their brutality lol.
Today's world? Not quite Mad Max land but it sure looks like we'll all be needing hazmat suits and AK47s to survive it.
Crikey! Too many protests to choose from aaaaaaarrgh I’m on protest overload!
How long will it all go on for? Does the big protest have enough air in lung to chugga-chugga till 3rd of November?
What a nightmare the Emperor has to look forward to.
Are we witnessing the extended version of ‘Suleimani’s Revenge’?
Hmmm… Let’s all think away with index finger on chin…
@ taxi,
As long as jews man the presses, expect more baloney. drivel and manure to be shoved down main stream news outlets, into the arteries of gullible people.
Rinse and repeat until the masses hunger for reality TV and more fast food.
F*** 'em all.
I know I shouldn't snigger but…
Lindsey Graham Gay Rumors Erupt Again as Escort Threatens to Out ‘Homophobic Republican Senator’ — Here’s the Latest, and the History
It's his freaking hypocrisy, oh and that little jewy thing we call 'bloodlust' for killing on behalf of terrorist israel that I highly object to. AND his umbilical connection to the Military Industrial Complex that's eating up waaaay too much of our tax dollars: all for the purpose of destroying helpless faraway nations. Man, soooo much bothers me about Lindsey 'Lady G' Graham.
I've been against closeted gays in politics for decades and this is because they are easily blackmailable, not because of sexual orientation.
Taxes??? The US dont pay the MIC with taxes.. They print it up and make all the other countries pay for it. The US can never afford to pay this kind of money. Yes I know donald duck said if countries dont pony up then he will slink and go home.. But the US pays like in korea using US$ it just printed up.. What do the koreans use it for? Not like the koreans have a base in the US to spend that $$$’s.. The duck for some strange reason thinks he can move these funds around and somehow make a profit on it.. Also many countries are made to directly pay the US.. Like the Saudi’s and Qatari’s pay the US for all expenses and more to station troops there.. So they sell stuff and get US$ and gives it to the US.. Where that goes directly into some black holes.. maybe the israel firsters.. Over $ 3 Trillion in notes are floating around the world..
I hope to live to see the day when all this ends up being worthless.. It will destroy tens of millions of lives over night and I will enjoy it.. There is no better irony than to pay to get woked..
The US Military Industrial Complex is allotted some 54% of taxes collected. I know they get perks from Saudi and Qatar etc, but it’s dollars from actual tax collections that support it structurally and meaningfully. The Fed Res printing up money out of thin air usually goes to Wall Street gangbangers, especially if they are dual-passport carriers (wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say no more!).
Military Spending in the United States
Great article by our dearest Elijah Magnier. An accompaniment to my above article, I humbly reckon:
Syria: Will the Great Middle Eastern War Begin in the Levant?
I know so very many people who pray for israel to make a stupid mistake today that would trigger its annihilation war, or, the ‘Liberation War’, as I personally prefer to call it.
And let me here add to Elijah’s piece and tell you why Syria does not respond to israel’s ongoing assaults, let me give you a reason that not many people are aware of, and it is the following: Syria is currently thick in the business of manufacturing its own advanced missile systems in Syria, with Iranian help. These advanced weapons are necessary to guarantee its security against all future invaders once the war is over, as well as guaranteeing Syrian victory against israel and its allies in the ‘big’ war that everyone awaits. From a strategic point of view, insuring these weapons programs are completed is by far more important that an immediate response to tel aviv. Syria wants to use these very new weapons systems that are currently being manufactured as their ultimate ‘response’ to tel aviv. I happen to agree with this strategy.
Their patience in this matter will pay off massive dividends at the end of the day, dividends that may or may not materialize should Syria respond to tel aviv’s periodical provocations.
The Axis of Resistance members do not want to leave ANYTHING to chance. Everything concerning the next war with israel and Empire is measured with absolute care and hyper intelligence.
@ taxi,
Personally, I try to circumvent problems as much as I can, but not and any and/or all costs. Thus the liberation of Occupied Palestine is a ‘War of Justice‘. An act that has to take place in order for peace to find its way back to the ME. This malignant entity is a cancerous growth within the fabric of ordinary societies. As with all cancerous growth, one needs to cut deep, until one reaches healthy tissue again, to remove it. The Levant will be CCF within a decade [circumcised critters free].
Elijah second installment on Syria (third one to be published in a few days):
Syria: Russia challenges the US through the Levant Gate
The flag of Palestine was raised by Palestine supporters during yesterday’s DC protests. Some accompanying banners said: “From Washington to Palestine, racism must be stopped”. This sentiment, once spread across the nation’s protests, will have the effect of reversing costly jewish efforts that pit the Palestinians as terrorists and the jews of israel as the eternal victims. Simply, these banners that expose israel as being a horribly racist nation will reverse the manufactured narrative of the jew as the good guy.
@ taxi,
After [an estimated] 109 countries kicked out jews, they're bearers of a narrative, but nobody [in his/her right mind] sees them as the 'good guys.'
Try telling Hollywood and the freaking jew media that the jew is ‘not’ the good guy. Daily media Arab-trashing aside, Jewish characters in Hollywood have gone from sidekick nerds who save the world with a good idea at the 12th hour, to literally inflated superheros themselves these days. And do please realize that every time Hollywood disses on an Arab character in movie, it’s tantamount to declaring the jew ‘the good guy’ in the Palestine conflict in real life. The movie ‘Exodus’ is the most successful Hollywood anti Palestine movie and a whole generation and their children were reared on its racist, colonialist teat. Every other ethnicity and religion has been demonized by Hollywood except the jews. Because of course, the jew is the eternal ‘good guy’. Oh and the natural, eternal victim too.
I’m against Black Lives Matter. 100% I’m against them. They’re nothing but black rag dolls in the malignant hands of Soros.
When they first exploded on the scene by storming Bernie Sanders’ stage back in 2015, I thought: alright, I can go for that. And when six months later they organized a trip to the West Bank to meet with anti-occupation Palestinians to show solidarity, I thought: wow. But since then, dear reader, since after their trip to the Holly Land, they soon enough started eating Soros dollars like there’s no tomorrow and their solidarity with Palestine just about instantly disappeared.
Their organizers are now demanding the defunding of the police. Another page from the Soros book of solutions – or dissolution, I should say. They know damn well that the dudes who police-them-before-killing-them have been trained in Israel, trained into brutal suppression of unarmed civilians, and they say fuck all about it in public. More Soros dollars for their dinners for that! Fuck Black Lives Matter and their slimy sellout! How about demanding that our police stop training with a racist occupation force?!!! Not a whisper of that from them although last week saw a flood of media articles on exactly this topic. Fuck Black Lives Matter! They can all go fuck themselves till eternity as far as I’m concerned. I can tell you that the Black Panther Party, you know, the ORIGINAL black activists would have stabbed Soros in the eyeballs and heart instead of taken his vile dollars. I can tell you that the Black Panthers, whom BLM apparently take inspiration from, are the real deal and BLM is as freaking fake as a four dollar bill. Massively infiltrated by the jew destroyer. Soros must be in ecstasy to see the whole world now holding up protests and banners in support of BLM. For Pete’s sake even pilots the world over are now writing ‘BLM’ across the sky to applause by the global sheeple! Makes me sick and makes me not care about ‘black lives’! If you’re gonna be so dumb as to jump in bed with the BIGGEST satanist on the planet, then you deserve a police force that’s trained by the BIGGEST racists in the world. So stfu BLM, you do NOT deserve my support or respect.
Here’s a little history to read on the original Black Panther Party and the Palestine issue, who, for their support of Palestine were labeled, by no less than jewy agents in DC, as “one of the major threats to American national security in the twentieth century”:
The Black Panther Party and Palestine Solidarity
When the system fears you, then you're the real deal. And when the system embraces you, then you are the freaking system!
My, my, how dollars can fast change your ideology. I’ve just visited the BLM website and guess what? They’ve removed their famed logo that depicts a black fist – poof, gone. It used to sit in the prime position right there at the top of their front page and right by their name. Now gone. I guess it’s scary for jewish Soros to have to look at that ‘scary’ black fist every morning. And thus for a price, BLM removed it.
I ask you: are BLM the resistors or the shekeled?
Disgusting, corruptible fakesters!
I spit on their wallets and purses!
America is choke-full of dollar whores!
And this is why I, as a patriot, “I can’t breathe”! The whoredom of Americans suffocates me! American ignorance and whoredom is what drove me into self-exile.
And let us here ponder this unraveling fact: Obama’s reign only increased institutional and societal racism against American Blacks. He should be ostracized by the Black community for the damage he’s done them and for diamond opportunities he lost to improve the lot of the Blacks – he should not be worshiped and idealized by them. Racism in America didn’t start with racist Trump’s reign. It was brewing higher and more toxic before him and Obama did not put the lid on it in his eight years of rule and it ended up exploding during Trump’s term. I would have loved to have seen race protests during the Obama days, but alas, the sheeple, the sheeple… they come in black too.
And may I also add, or really, correct myself and say that not only did Obama fail to “put the lid on it”, he actually IS the very motherfucker who militarized the police. He upgraded their capabilities for violence against civilians by giving them military-grade weaponry and simultaneously getting them trained by the racist, fascistic, vile and evil israelis. It’s how he did it. He literally set up the black nation for a race war.
And now the great big evil Orange Sausage is setting up the white nation for a bigly-beautiful race war.
Suckers!
Americans are suckers and psychos.
And it’s this combo that usually takes us to war.
Sadly, Palestine lost a great son yesterday: R.IP. Ramadan Shallah, leader of Islamic Jihad.
Shallah was born in Gaza and completed his PhD in economics in the UK, then subsequently taught at a south Florida university from 1993 to 1995 before he assumed his leadership in Islamic Jihad.
Fortunately, Palestine still has many, many more good sons in its good house.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader buried in Damascus
Considering that all mideast analysts worth their salt (including jewish analysts) see Netanyahu’s imminent annexation plan as a supremely dangerous move for israel to make, we shall now soon enough see on July 1st if he is an insane risk-taker, or just your average garden variety bullshitting jew.
Most people I know would very much like him to be a maniacal gambler. Get the big job over and done with.
Netanyahu’s dilemma over his annexation plan
We know that it was Trump personally who gave Netanyahu the annexation green light. But what about Joe “I am a zionist” Biden? How does he view israel’s planned annexation? Well, he’s been vocally against any unilateral steps by israel that would hinder “future peace” (blah blah usual garbage), but if Biden becomes president and the annexation is already a fait accompli, then he will probably go along with it, just like he hotly objected to the US embassy being moved to Jerusalem when Obama was president and ended up applauding and congratulating the jewish state for its “historic achievement” when Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem. Frigging asslicking coward!
@ taxi,
This like giving an AK-47 to a chimp…
Sure, it's utterly and profoundly unconscionable how George Floyd died, but is he really worthy of postmortem canonization? Is his face really worthy of postmortem mass worship? Of course not! Sure he has become symbolically powerful on the political arena, and that's understandable and right and good, but does he really deserve the saintly alleviation bestowed on him overnight? Only a jewy cult like Black Lives Matter would elevate a man whose life appears to be devoid of any political understanding or activity, a man whose checkered past include forays into porn acting, regular meth taking, aggravated armed robbery and prison time. Jesus would forgive all of Floyd's sins; he may even humbly wash his feet in public, but sanctify him as the ultimate martyr of the 21st century? I think not! It is sad-sad-sad to see America prostate itself en mass at the feet of a sketchy corpse: showering adulation and emotionally losing themselves in a vast ocean of the cult of personality. And it's so freaking freakish that Black Lives Matter have taken to performing mass Gestalt Therapy on protestors: getting them to lie down on the ground en mass for nine minutes to 'imagine' themselves being George Floyd losing his breath and uttering "I can't breath". This is simply brainwashing 101.
George Floyd now bigger than Pink Floyd. I don't know what the heck is going to snap the masses out of this sudden cult-of-personality worship. The misguided masses are only adding to the insidious racism crisis, to the delight of Soros and other social-engineering jewish groups, no doubt. Black Lives Matter will NOT deliver a racism-free America because the whole goddamn thing is manufactured and unnatural and forced. Instead of creating practical reforms in the police force itself, reforms that include first and foremost the immediate halt of police-training by racist israelis, Black Lives Matter have become like fake social-justice wahabi mercenaries in the hands of American jews. Man how America is fucked! Glad I don't live there anymore!
I don't foresee ANY peace or resolution for the current crisis of racism in America. I see black victimhood turning into black-entitlement clashing with white-privilege, resulting in the breakup of the American Union. A-bye-bye Star Spangled Banner.
Lie down for George Floyd? What you see happening in the above video is happening freaking EVERYWHERE, and not just in America!
Mass brainwashing of the mass sheeple happening right before our eyes.
I bury my face in hands out of despair.
A fundamental solution to America’s racism is to create a more equitable distribution of wealth right across the population spectrum. But just you try telling this to jewy Wall Street and DC!
Another solution is to stop voting for racist politicians who are anti-racism at home but pro racism overseas – you know, like the WHOLE FRIGGING MEMBERSHIP OF THE SENATE AND CONGRESS!
It’s quintessentially the American ‘imperialist mindset’ of the ruling classes that leaks and leads to racist policing. All these American politicians now denouncing police racism have never missed an opportunity to praise racist israel for ‘defending itself’ when mass murdering brown-skinned Palestinians – this is all on record. And never mind their sickening praise of our troops operating as racist occupation forces in Iraq etc – all this on record too. Hello, Abu Ghraib anyone?!
It’s the politicians (and I mean ALL of them!) who should be targeted by the masses before the police.
Fuck politicians!
Fuck the police!
Fuck Black Lives Matter!
The trio who will bring America down.

And let’s take a peekaboo at israel’s ‘killer knee’ and the US protests:
‘Hypocrisy’: AIPAC faces backlash after issuing statement on George Floyd killing
Morning Star publishes article linking George Floyd killing to Israel
Israel On Edge As Murder of George Floyd Sparks Global Demand for Justice: #BlackLivesMatter
Don’t Confuse the Struggle of African Americans with That of the Palestinians
Did you know that George Floyd was actually a reincarnation of Jesus Christ who returned in human form only to be murdered by a white cop? No? Neither did I
But when you look at the adulations, the way he's being worshipped, the way that people are lying down imitating the way he was killed, the paintings and images of him with his angel wings and the unbelievable funeral fit for a king, then I can only deduce that he must have been Christ. And when I try to say anything to most of the people I know (or thought that I know) which contradicts that view, such as "err…excuse me, hello…erm..I think he was a criminal", I get aggressively attacked verbally. This has all the makings of a cult, a new religion with a whole swathe of the world's population as instant devotees
When we look more closely at the background of the story, we learn that Chauvin and Floyd worked together at a nightclub and there was friction between the two. Later on, Chauvin, most certainly a very dangerous psychopath, found himself with an opportunity to get his own back and get away with it legally. There's no doubt in my mind that it was pure cold blooded murder. Was it racist? Possibly. Was that the main reason for the murder? Probably not. So you have a psychopathic cop murdering a serial criminal and it's caught on camera. And from that sequence of events the world is suddenly turned on its head. Floyd is suddenly the new Christ and BLM are suddenly one of the most powerful political forces in the USA, supported by a gigantic number of fucking idiots all around the world, including lots of people I had much more respect for until this happened.
BLM, as Taxi has explained so very well, is a completely bought and paid for fake movement, using mostly stupid, very easily brainwashed people to carry out their agenda. This will not lead to betterment of the lives of the black people in the USA. Calls to defund and disband the police are nothing less than insane. And who in their right mind would want to be a cop in the USA today anyway? I wouldn't be surprised if thousands of them resign. Sure the cops need to be reformed but what do people think will actually happen if police numbers are greatly reduced? Well, organised and all other kinds of crime will run riot and thousands of white crackers with their semi automatic firearms will turn the USA into one big safari park, hunting mainly blacks and hispanics and Mad Max will become a reality.
Just think how many of these nutcases there are right now, armed to the teeth, sitting there, waiting, itching to use that fine piece of military machinery on some human beings. They sit and watch society break down, they watch the police being trashed and they see this fake movement taking over every aspect of their lives. To them, this is the start of armageddon. This is exactly what they've been waiting for. All those hours shooting at tins and bottles in the forest, practising, rehearsing and learning their combat maneuvers. I can only imagine just how many thousands of them, even hundreds of thousands, are thinking about picking up that rifle, getting in their pick up, driving to one of these demonstrations and mowing down dozens of mainly black people. And if that happens, and it's quite likely, what do we think will happen next? The USA is literally one misstep like that away from full out civil war and these dumb, mindless, brainwashed sheeple should think very carefully before they blindly follow this fake movement which is only adding high octane fuel to an already out of control fire.
Oh the twists and turns of the Palestine-israel thang:

My question to Abbas: what the f*** are you waiting for? Be done with it already!
And it doesn’t matter whether it’s an act that doesn’t make any sense [or not] you’re dealing with pathological killers here.
I agree. Abbas should declare a Palestinian-centric ‘Deal of Eternity’ as the only path to peace. Its contents should be the exact reverse of the crappy jewish one. Heh!

Drive carefully. As Southern Lebanon’s rather hilly, what wheels does milady use to get from point A to B and back [if you don’t mind me asking]?
Mercedes ML320, black tinted windows, bought it second-hand eight years ago, still runs great, handles the local terrain very well – and best part, it fits three large dogs in the back.
@ taxi,
One of my uncles drove a Benz his entire life for its reliability and spaciness, so I get where you're coming from. Are those large dogs your personal band of bodyguards?
Another uncle maintained a gaggle of geese to protect his property. I never imagined birds could be this ferocious or frightening, but they did and they were. Plus, one of their eggs provided enough food for 4 sandwiches.
One cannot but sit [or step] back and admire nature in all its glory.
Thank you SO MUCH for the warm welcome Taxi! I am honored and touched. I am so glad I decided to jump in.
“Taking a Knee” is a Masonic Gesture of Deference – Link to Henry Makow
Excerpt -“The oath of allegiance of federal officials is to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic; but if we refuse to acknowledge the existence of enemies, if we cannot name our enemies, no defence will be possible. And this is the one thing, above all, that has been forbidden: We are not allowed to name our enemies. [i.e. Freemasonry, Communism, Organized Jewry, central bankers.]”
Taking the Knee should really be called taking the cock. Cuz that’s exactly what it is.
And Henry Makow: He linked to one of my articles back in 2017 and had this to say:
My Makow-referenced article: Taboos and Booze for the Masses
Makow’s ‘abridged’ version of same article (I guess he doesn’t like F-bombs heh), plus his short comment is here: “Anti Semitism” Cry No Longer Deters Resistance
Henry’s good ‘resistance’ aside, this whole Dems ‘taking the cock’ while wearing African Kente cloth-print yesterday is something I saw and frankly do not wish to ever see again or remember. Despicable political opportunism of the lowest grade! A botoxed satanic freak show right there in the nation’s sanctified ‘Emancipation Hall’. I despair! No, I vomit!
@ taxi,

FBI Launches Open Attack on ‘Foreign’ Alternative Media Outlets Challenging US Foreign Policy
From here on, even if you happenstance have the same opinion as a foreign leader whom Trump hates, and even if you didn’t know that you share this same opinion with Leader-X, then you will still be labelled as a ‘foreign agent’ by the FBI and instantly lose all your citizen’s rights and get carted off to some off the grid interrogation room and holding cell. This is now your America. Happy now?! The illusion that you are a ‘free American’ has been shattered right before your eyes. But you were never that free in the first place – geddit now?! Now they take the last bit of important freedom from you: freedom of thought. First they took your freedom of speech, now they’re taking away your freedom of thought. You will fall in line with the official narrative or you will shut your goddamn mouth up till you die. And you know what? It’s all your frigging fault, American! You allowed for your own imprisonment by sleeping right through the decades while one government after the other abused your rights – you kept voting for the same bunch of crooked, treasonous criminals and even nodded approval at them for going overseas to loot and mass murder whole nations who never ever done America a single wrong.
No, I don’t just blame the despicably evil and violent policing institutions who’re pickled in racism and hatred of citizens. I also blame the idiot and blinkered ‘exceptionalist’ citizenry for allowing a culture of political corruption and violence to saturate our nation to the max and for so freaking long. And I also blame this same citizenry for allowing this very same home-made deadly violence to be exported to other nations where our military thoroughly destroyed these nations with tactics and weapons even worse than what Black America has suffered. Deadly and destructive violence for the sole purpose of enabling jewish genocidal violence and kleptomania to reign supreme and with never any questions or accountability from YOU! You gave the nod to the army and handed over your taxes then went shopping at your local malls for more useless ‘stuff’ while millions of innocents were killed by our military to further advance the synagogue of satan’s belly and purse. You even waved the terrorist israeli flags at parades and in churches and at sporting events. You paid to watch one jewish propaganda film after the other: all designed to keep you distracted and asleep and loving on violence and perversion and you loved every minute of it! Ignoramus motherfucker that you are – going from sensory addiction to the next, and all the while, your government was working against you and your family just to keep support for terrorist israel going.
Yeah I’m pissed at the lotta you cogs now blindly chanting ‘Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter’ down every Main Street, while the jews of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve fleece you stupid and moon at your stupid face. I can only conclude that you deserve what’s coming your way.
You’d better get yourselves Hezbolla-ed as soon as possible or you’re really gonna be toast and dust, just toast and dust, buddy!

I would have much preferred hanging out with my keyboard and dogs and getting some comments and responses in, but…
Anyway – I'm pooped now and going to bed soon, so I'll bid y'all a good night from the zio-free side of the luscious Levant. And please forgive my above rant – I'm just venting off my sadness and fire at what's going down Stateside.

… and puke all over the place!
Honor lives within you. BS is what you hear and what they say.
@ taxi,
I’m a member of JVP for only one reason: what the f*** are they up to.
Needless to say, my inbox was filled to the brim with a ‘call to action,’ to stand ‘ with out brothers and sisters against the evil of whitey,’ etc., etc., etc., the moment Floyd grasped his last bit of air. Officer Chauvin has to be exposed to the law and prosecuted according to it, but not be catapulted into a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows, for that ain’t justice. It’s mob rule.
No mention of black against white crimes being a staggering 7x larger than the other way around, so, let them go into the suburbs and see what happens next. Remember the Koreans atop their shops and in the streets defending their livelihood during the Rodney King riots? When people are able to defend themselves, their families, businesses, etc. riots die down pretty quickly, as, like you said, most rioters are not about clawing back their freedom, they’re in it to get some looting ‘stuff.’
Thanks for your comment, Daniel, and for letting us know what the most loathsome controlled opposition gang, JVP, is up to. But really, by now we can all pretty much accurately predict what they’re up to even without access to their membership.
Let me tell you that with the outbreak of the protests in the USA, all jewish controlled opposition forces are in a panic: the Soros jews have lit a fuse that could very well blow back in the faces of the whole of the US jewish community. The non-Soros jewish controlled opposition brigade are now having to do the double duty of encouraging the Soros-BLM protests yet shielding their own asses. Something they’ve never had to do before. BLM could very well turn out to be the predicted jewish ruinous ‘overreach’.
How do you see a collapse of Israel before a collapse of Lebanon? Lebanon was created to be the compensatory sister state of Israel, an ethno-ponzi scheme where Euro-Khaliji investors could dump their capital. It was never viable as an independent state absent Israel. When Israel goes, so will Lebanon, and if Lebanon goes, so will Israel. The dilemma was always causing Lebanon to self-destruct without boomeranging back at Israel, and it never worked.
Option 6 is Lebanon collapses, and drags down Israel and the entire region with it, and we are already begining to see this play out. It will work like this: Orchestrate the financial ruin of Syria while expanding the current sanctions on Lebanon to include allies of Hezbollah. Continue to starve Syria, and therefore Lebanon. Use UNIFIL to gather intelligence for Israel. Make every attempt to pressure the Diab government into IMF debt tutelage. If mass protests start again and Diab's government falters, Seyed Nasrallah's promise that "mumkin byiji wa2to" will be a reality and the Resistance will descend to the streets. The goal will then be to get the Resistance to use force domestically or to create (with majority support) an openly pro-Resistance government. Lebanon will then be declared the "Venezuella of the East," and delegitimized further.
Meanwhile, unemployment will continue to hover at nearly 50%, while the Lira oscillates between 3,000 and 7,000 per every dollar. Sectarian tensions will continue to grow. Turkey will expand it's support in Tripoli, riots will begin breaking out in Syria again, such as in Daraa. US proxies like Geagea will beg to be armed. In fact, they were probably already provided arms and ammunition during the corruption protests…. etc etc etc, in the end there will be no escape for Israel, but they will have Samson optioned the entire region with them. There's a zero percent chance that Lebanon survives the destruction of Israel…
@ GOYSPLAINER,
Who then, will destroy Occupied Palestine…?
Always good to have you visit, goysplainer – you always have such interesting things to say. But here, with all due respect, you base your argument on a false premise right from the get-go.
Lebanon was broken off the Greater Syria in 1916 by Sykes-Picot (British-French) at the fall of the Ottoman Empire. This slice of territory was referred to at the time as the ‘Greater Lebanon’. The whole purpose of cutting off the Lebanon terrain from Greater Syria was to secure a safe haven nation for the Christians of the Levant living in a muslim-majority territory, not for Israel at all – never!
The French claimed the Lebanon as its Christian colony, providing it at the time with military protection and a financial umbrella, allowing the French thus a fixed ally and an open geopolitical bridge into a prosperous Levanian coastal strip. The Northern side of ‘Greater Lebanon’, Mount Lebanon, was purely Christian and the southern side, known as ‘Jabal Aamel’ (Mount Worker-traveler) was bucolic and its natives were a mix of Christian, Druze and Muslim, with Shia majority. The French put all political power in the hands of their Lebanese Christian allies in the north, and this remained so till 1946 when Lebanon achieved its independence from France (due to the French surrendering to the Nazis during WW2, thus losing hegemony in their Levantian colonies), and the word ‘Greater’ was dropped from the Lebanon name when the Lebanon became a Republic. But the French, reluctantly exiting their Lebanese colony, left it with a Christian-centric constitution that was supported by their powerful and wealthy Christian allies who were, at the time, the majority of the population in Lebanon.
So, historically speaking, Israel had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the Lebanon: the jewish state wasn’t even birthed yet. But at the establishment of isreal, the jews did immediately make alliances with the Christian supremacist of Mount Lebanon, who were not the majority of Lebanese Christians but the most powerful ones at the time, in the hope of using them as a buffer against a Muslim-majority Levant. In other words, only a minority of the Lebanese Christian community allied with israel, and to this date remain so.
And forget about “Lebanon collapsing” totally. Not going to happen, my dear, not when the Diab government is about to drop the US and go eastwards. And even if it did “collapse”, this collapse will not effect the might or weaponry of the Hezbollah. Won’t even touch it. And you’re mistaken to think that Hezbollah will get involved in enforcing law and order on the streets of Lebanon. The Hezb stays well out of this local scenario, giving this role to its Amal ally. The Hezb is all about regional power now and the liberation of foreign forces from the Levant and the middle east as a whole and nothing can distract it from this.
Look, several wars have ravaged the Lebanon for decades now yet it still remains an intact nation – the Lebanese keep rebuilding time and time again. If the next war finds israel destroying Lebanon’s building and infrastructure as tel aviv takes its last breath, then the Lebanese will just rebuild it again: something that cannot be said about the khazars and tel aviv. The Khazars will not be returning to Palestine after the destruction of tel aviv, but Lebanese war refugees will indeed be returning back to the Lebanon to rebuild it. They’ve done this several times already in our lifetime.
And one last note: impossible for israel to succeed at igniting a civil war in the Lebanon, not with Christian Aon as President being Hezbollah’s number one ally in the Lebanon. Gaegea is a weakling who has minor support in the Christian community and creating problems on the street through his protestors is about the most damage that he can do. Plus his weapons cache is pathetic. He has no reliable political ally in the Lebanon whatsoever. He’s currently having a big fight with Hariri, and Jumblat, known for playing political musical chairs, is nobody’s reliable ally. Geagea has minimum local power and zero geopolitical one. His only claim to fame, so to speak, is that he has the support of terrorist israel, an israel that is itself losing geoplitical power.
And your Gulfie investment angle is also not true. Lebanon has long enforced restrictions on Gulf investments in the Lebanon because Lebanese ‘guardians of the state’ know that Gulfie money, if left unfettered, could buy the whole of Lebanon in 24 hours lol.
All your scenarios don’t ring true and your conclusion is off the mark and not based on current political reality. Seriously, I’m a tad taken aback by your comment that has not a single consequential resonance or fact backing it. You are usually so very on top of the facts.
C’mon buddy – you can do better than this!
@ taxi,
Thank you. Crystal clear and to-the-point analysis, as per usual. Airtight and waterproof :o]
Yesterday, the UAE ambassador in DC issued a statement directed at israel saying that the UAE has done many friendly moves in support of israel, ie declaring the Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and normalization that allows jews to come and live in UAE where synagogues have been built etc, but that their jewish annexation plans are inequitable and a dangerous move that will bring nothing but war to the whole region. The dynamic statement also included an ultimatum: either israel drops the annexation plans and in its place israel takes up the ‘Arab Peace Plan’ that proposes a Palestinian state along the ’67 border, or else the UAE will have to cease its alliance with the jewish state.
Israel’s annexation would ‘upend’ improving Arab ties: UAE envoy
Clearly, the UAE too foresees a regional war erupting due to israel’s annexation plan, a war that will find the whole of the Gulf region enmeshed in warfare, a war that will destroy pretty much everything that the Arab monarchies have built in the last 50 years.
What’s interesting to note here is that the UAE is considered by DC and the Deep State to be THE reliable ally in the Arabian peninsular. There are three American representatives operating out of the American embassy in UAE whose mission is to handle the UAE’s foreign policy. Their job is to confer and give instruction to the ruler of the UAE on what US-centric position to take on all its global foreign affairs. So, for the UAE ambassador to release what amounts to an ultimatum to israel is really the equivalent of the Deep State making this announcement. Coupling this with Pompeo’s lightning visit to tel aviv some four weeks ago, a visit that failed to convince tel aviv to drop its annexation plans at the time (but succeeded in forcing tel aviv to drop its Chinese investment programs), it sure looks like the US is jittery about a war with the Axis of Resistance over this whole annexation thing. The US already knows that if war in the Levant ignites over israel’s annexation, it will fast spread across the region and the US and its allies will not be the victorious side in this war.
Will the klepto israelis heed the US Deep State’s second warning and cancel the annexation plans for July 1st? Will israel’s Deep State throw Netanyahu under the bus and therefore into jail to save israel and all other US allies from a losing war?
I hope not.
A most fascinating development indeed.

@SyrianaAnalysis
Thanks Canthama – really good interviewee.
The downside to any option is that the Zionist (politically) occupied countries will have the distasteful experience of vengeful, deluded, rascict murderers living amongst them.
Toady govts. such as NZ's, Australia's, the UK's, etc will welcome them (their citizens won't).
Or there may be truth in the stories of the scum staking claims in Patagonia.
Personally I would prefer that they aren't given a chance to leave; concentration camps or executions being their only options.
Thanks grr – I have no doubt that many people share your fears and thoughts.
Patangonia is real, plus let us not forget that they already have Birobidznan: an autonomous jewish Oblast given to them by Stalin.
The Resistance does not do genocide. They prefer to give their cornered enemy safe exit at the eleventh hour, and should the enemy reject the safe exist, then killing the enemy becomes ‘halal’ (sanctified). This is all in accordance with their islamic rules of war: rules that the Resistance strictly adhere to. Nasrallah in his last radio interview said that in the next war, the Hezbollah is prepared to safeguard the exit of israeli jews who wish to leave the holy land in the thick of war.
The criminal euro trash jews who were dumped on the Palestinians can finally be ‘returned to sender’. And here the West has to go back to square one and figure out the solution to THEIR ‘jewish problem’ all over again. This time round, referendums should be taken and moves should be made according to the results.
Hey y’all! A good and fun Sunday for y’all, I hope.

The writer is talking “within weeks” for a possible outbreak of war. This means he’s talking Plato’s ‘Option One’. Woweeeeee pretty scareeeeee! What a head rush! Wonder if he’s read my article? I’d love to be able to compare notes and figure out if the mossad or israeli military intelligence fed him some meat to publish. Somebody out there please kick that fucking jew paywall down and let’s all have a good look at this israeli article’s contents. I’ll remind you here that we’re some 17 days away from official annexationdom. We all gotta keep our fingers on the pulse.
“Within weeks”?!…
Is the world fucking ready?
Are you ready?!

Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran: How Israeli Annexation May Trigger a Multi-front War Within Weeks
Israel stands before one of the most difficult periods it has ever known, from a coronavirus economic crisis to Netanyahu’s assault on the rule of law. But his annexation plan could lead us to the precipice of war – and beyond
Israel stands before one of the most difficult periods it has ever known, just about a perfect storm.
The political and judicial crisis surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial has barely begun. Having successfully defused the political obstacles to his ongoing rule, the premier is now conducting an unbridled campaign to undermine the judicial system and rule of law, in order to save himself from a likely prison sentence. No norm, no institution, is sacrosanct.
The campaign is abetted by Netanyahu’s silent co-conspirators in the Likud and feckless coalition partners from Benny Gantz’s Kachol Lavan party. The fundamental pillars of Israeli democracy will be shaken to the core.
Concomitantly, the coronavirus epidemic has caused an unprecedented economic crisis in Israel. Unemployment stands at a horrifying 25 percent, governmental stimulus packages have had a disappointing impact on the economy so far, and the global economy is in a severe depression.
In the coming weeks, as unemployment benefits run out and the public begins to fully appreciate the depths of the crisis, the fundamental pillars of Israeli society will also be severely shaken. It is not for nothing that Netanyahu sought to include Kachol Lavan in a coalition of “national unity,” to share the political blame.
Israel also stands before a number of national security challenges, some self-made, which threaten to change the face of the region, greatly exacerbate Israel’s already severe international isolation and delegitimization, and lead us to the precipice of war, possibly beyond. The fundamental pillars of Israel’s national security will be severely tried.
The right may be correct in its estimation that Israel faces a unique, one-time opportunity to unilaterally annex the West Bank, or parts thereof, and that the regional and international responses will be muted, akin to that following U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and annexation of the Golan Heights. The Arab world has never been weaker, less capable of mounting an effective response, Iran is busy with its own COVID-19, economic and leadership crises, and the international community is preoccupied by these issues, as well. Above all, annexation enjoys the approval of the Trump administration.
There is, however, a much more plausible and severe scenario.
The Palestinians have already announced that they no longer consider themselves bound by the Oslo Accords and are ending security cooperation with Israel. Assuming that they respond to annexation, as is their wont, with a surge in violence and terrorism, the IDF will be forced to restore order and possibly even retake control of areas beyond those planned for annexation.
The resulting atmosphere of chaos and crisis may then create the historic circumstances necessary to realize the right’s true two-stage endgame: annexation of the entire West Bank, to put an end, once and for all, to Palestinian aspirations to establish a state there, and creating unrest in Jordan, whether in direct response, or due to a subsequent outflux of refugees from the West Bank, leading to the fall of the monarchy and establishment of a Palestinian state on its ruins.
An initial decision on only limited annexation may thus set in motion a course of events that rapidly deteriorate into a game changer and lead to renewed Israeli control over more than 2.5 million Palestinians. Over and above the challenges this will pose to Israel’s future character as a Jewish and democratic state, annexation will present an intolerable economic burden. The cost to Israel’s economy will be in the billions, precious resources needed desperately for unemployment, health, education, infrastructure and everything else.
Moreover, annexation will make it hard for Hamas to continue maintaining the relative calm that has prevailed of late and an escalation with Hezbollah, and even Iranian forces in Syria, is also quite possible. Just weeks from now, Israel could find itself in the midst of an unprecedented multi-front confrontation. Hezbollah, alone, has an arsenal of 130,000 rockets.
The hard-won and invaluable security ties with Jordan and Egypt will suffer, the peace treaties with both will be put to a severe test and Israel’s actions may force them, contrary to their best interests and wishes, to abrogate them. Growing cooperation with the Saudis and other Gulf states, to which Israel correctly attaches great importance, will be set back and may come to a halt, despite the common Iranian enemy. For Iran, annexation will provide an unexpected opportunity to strengthen the “axis of resistance.”
Iran’s military presence in Syria continues to grow, despite Israel’s best efforts, and its cyber attacks recently crossed a dangerous new threshold. Most alarmingly, Iran has essentially lifted the restrictions it took upon itself under the 2015 nuclear deal and the U.S. and Iran appear headed on a collision course.
Both sides have already traded a series of military blows in the last year and a crisis point may be reached in October, if not before, around the recently announced U.S. intention to seek an extension of Security Council sanctions on conventional weapons sales to Iran, due to expire that time. However events play out, the ramifications for Israel will be significant.
The need for consensus may prevent the European Union from imposing comprehensive EU-wide sanctions on Israel, but this is no longer assured and, in any event, individual member states have already informed Israel of their intention to adopt unilateral punitive measures, should this prove necessary. Israel’s high-tech industry, its national growth engine, will be undercut, as will its scientific and other academic capabilities.
Sooner or later, the U.S. will elect a Democratic president, whether Joe Biden or a future successor. From personal experience, I can attest to just how tough Biden can be, even while being a true friend of Israel’s. Long term demographic trends in the U.S. favor the Democratic party, which is also home to an overwhelming majority of the American Jewish community.
During the past two years, there has been a precipitous drop in support for Israel among Democrats and three leading presidential candidates even spoke of tying U.S. military aid to Israel – the heretofore sacrosanct bedrock of the “special relationship” – to changes in its West Bank policies. All of this preceded talk of annexation, which has already caused a severe backlash, even before it’s gotten underway.
One may have to be close to the currents in American public opinion to fully appreciate the pent-up fury on the Democratic side, the feeling that Israel is repaying the U.S. for decades of support in the UN Security Council and every other international forum, massive aid, a de facto security guarantee, strategic planning and coordination, and more, with a slap in the face. Israel’s dependence on the U.S. is almost complete and existential. Israel’s rift with the U.S. Jewish community will be difficult to heal.
The combined effects of the above, are such that Israel is rapidly approaching a near perfect storm, and with its eyes wide open. It is possible, of course, that events will not be quite as severe as feared, but much of the above will materialize. Wise people do not play roulette with their national future.
It is up to one person, Prime Minister Netanyahu, to stop the imminent train wreck. Unfortunately, he is unlikely to do so. It is a shame. Israel was a nice country.
Chuck Freilich, a former deputy Israeli national security adviser, teaches political science at Columbia and Tel Aviv universities. He is the author of “Israeli National Security: A New Strategy for an Era of Change” (Oxford University Press, 2018). Twitter: @FreilichChuck
Oh man what a trooper you are, Daniel. Thank you for sharing out the article with us all, and so promptly!
And it doesn’t seem to be the case that the depressed israeli writer has read my article heh. But, he’s on the right analysis track that’s for sure, though, you can tell he’s somewhat held back his panic. And this is not surprising as ALL israeli geopolitical articles are censored by the israeli military prior to publication. The current consensus in israel is that 75% of israelis approve and very much desire annexation, thus proving, yet again, that israel is nothing more than a nation of criminal kleptomaniac majority. Obviously, the writer is not in this 75% category, and being a “a former deputy Israeli national security adviser” tells me that the military is sending out a smoke signal of their serious worry about a security crisis and an existential war erupting with the intended annexation. He does give this away with the word “beyond” here: “But his annexation plan could lead us to the precipice of war – and beyond“. Yes, “beyond” is the key existential word that his article hints at, but then he does not fully elaborate on it: military censorship and all – elaboration will only invite worrisome mass panic.
I think we will now begin to see more articles of the same nature coming out of israel. Annexation puts the most pressure on the israeli military and it doesn’t look like it can handle it. But we’ve known this for some time now, haven’t we?
The article talks about a likely October war: some three months into the annexation. The israeli military allowed for this date info to be disseminated to give their panic some breathing room. AND… also to line it up with the election chaos that will undoubtedly be rife in the US come this October, and not with “Security Council sanctions on conventional weapons sales to Iran” at all as the article claims – not when Iran produces its own sophisticated conventional weapons already and thus will not be affected by this stupid sanction.
We shall all indeed be keeping an eye out for further signs of panic emanating out the israeli military and its scribes.
2020 sure is full of surprises.
@ taxi,
Here to help, darling, and you’re more than welcome :o]
The author carefully avoids mentioning the murder of Soleimani [and 9 others], on January 03, 2020, at the hands and orders of the Orange Cockatoo in Chief, and, that set in motion, the wheels of the brothers Back Fire & Blow Back and they, in turn, will churn out Pay Back by the bushel.
Occupied Palestine might seek to massage the micturition minds of the [OP] masses, in the end, it will be in vain and when Haifa and Tel Aviv smolder away, the same masses will flee through the only corridor left [courtesy of the Axis of Resistance], and flee they will.
There are two things that I detest more than anything in this world: Virtue Signaling and Pandering. I hold the purveyors of these in utmost contempt and forever regard them with abhorrence, loathing, and complete disdain. May they all perish in Hell.'

On why you don’t mess with Aussies
Dare we say anything about the perps…?
I don't see this happening in the US, coz people are too busy ff-ng kneeling.
The article above, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran: How Israeli Annexation May Trigger a Multi-front War Within Weeks, is a typical Jewish self delusion.
"It is a shame. Israel was a nice country. " Now those last two sentences had me laughing out loud. Never was nice, never will be until it is reverted back to a country called Palestine.
Oh I’m a-laughing widya, dear GRR, I’m a-laughing widya all the way to liberation. I see the israeli fucker’s panic only increasing and spreading. I almost feel sorry for the motherfuckers. But they asked for it – fucking asked for it repeatedly!
A world-changing war is a-coming and those who support the Axis of Resistance will inherit the earth.
LOL grr, that was indeed an interesting give away….these settlers, they ALL do believe live like an island of richness and fine live while oppressing and killing Palestinians and all around them without punishment, they really believe in their license to kill….their arrogance and belief in exceptionalism will be their downfall.

Taxi, this is priceless, tks for sharing it.
Putin in an interview compares the implosion taking place in America to the collapse of the Soviet Union; describes the protests as the American Perestroika:
And this here below on the same theme:
Is America descending into a failed state?
Taxi, I just can not see the US emerging in good shape after 2020, the ramification of the population anger due to unemployment, hardship, debts, lockdown depression and of course the many opportunistic groups making a mess on the streets, police violence and the list goes on….then there will be what I expect a bloody 2020 election as the cake's cherry, the US has all the ingredients to a major turmoil in 2021 and beyond, it will never heal, bad day ahead for all Americans, with the currency & Wall Street collapses, there will be nothing to hold the country together, we may see serious move of breaking up…the usual suspects like California, Texas, Alaska etc…it will be a rough 2021-2023 for the US and its supposed allies will just dump it as quickly as possible…
Israel's getting paranoid – and really, what is the definition of paranoia but the 'actual perception of reality'?
And how delicious is this reality?:
What does Trump’s West Point speech mean for Israel and the Middle East?
The US-Israel apartheid regime have a really unique relationship, they use each other on geopolitics and are controlled by zio-nazi money, once this relationship tends to be one lane only (given the US economic and political collapses), the Israel would have to reproduce the same relationship, but their usual criminal "clientele" are now reduced to the UK, somehow France, to a lesser stance Germany and at a long distance Russia, China, India, Japan….and we know the UK + France are broken to the bone and have been on the decline for over a century…so the apartheid regime will have a hard time to replace the US and big daddy to save their arse…this is when the opportunity for a strike exist…and as things are going on it will be a nice window of opportunity for The Resistance between 2021 and 2023, clock is ticking.
There’s currently a media campaign to link the dollar crisis in Lebanon to Hezbolla’s weapons. A deluge of articles is circulating the net right now and acerbically alleging that it is the presence of Hezbollah’s weapons that is causing the hindrance of Lebanon’s financial recovery. It’s a really stupid campaign that saudi-israel-us are aggressively pushing, with their local Leb agents carrying piss water for them down the political urinals of Beirut. Of course non of these allegations are true. Most Lebanese, even those who are in political opposition to political Hezbollah, are 100% in support of Hezbolla’s military existence. This is a fact, people. I hear this consistently expressed by Lebs with eclectic political views and religions – Hezbollah support is major and right across the spectrum of every fabric and shade of the Leb population. Like Hezbollah or not, most Lebs are not fucking dumb when it comes to their personal and national security-awareness. They know exactly the hell that would descend on them all should the Hezb be out of the national security picture.
Last week saw a few economic-hardship street protests, and interestingly, the first one was set up by Hezbollah civilian-supporters in various districts in Beirut and southwards. Followed then by a handful of other protests throughout the week and throughout the nation: larger ones, politically diverse, economically-based, and of course the enemy took advantage and sent its Gaegaes (israel) and its Hariris (Saudi Arabia) and its US mini antifas and cells of hysterics to infiltrate the protests: all with matching banners and slogans demanding the Hezb surrender its weapons as a solution to the Leb’s financial crisis. Everyone else’ banners were reprimanding the government for the financial crisis, you know, the ‘normal and genuine’ kind of protest banner. Some protestors were offended by the ‘infiltrators’ sloganeering and had fistfights with them. The enemy’s media immediately began saying that Hezbollah’s weapon controversy is causing a civil war blah blah ludicrous laughable propaganda bullshit. But really, begs the question here: these paid protestors and their paymasters: exactly whom do they suggest just go take these hefty weapons from Hezbollah?
Yeah, crickets.
The only way to take weapons from Hezbollah is to face them and fight them and hope to fuck for the best.
Or, as Nasrallah once suggested: “We will disarm when Palestine is liberated. We will have no need for arms thereafter”.
LOL, Lebanese supporters of Saudi and apartheid regime are nuts and criminals, they are idiots to demand HezbAllah disarmament, these freaks have no chance whatsoever, and it really seem to me a desperation attempt, in fact the apartheid regime is desperate and corned, they know their time left has been reduced to a minimum, they know it is coming, all these years of crimes and murder, payback is coming.
They’re not just “desperate”, they’re pathetically desperate! I mean what is the point of demanding something that’s impossible to achieve?!
When I close my eyes, I see kosher sweat beads gathering on the forehead of the cornered enemy.
Canada now supports israeli settlements and the intended crime of annexation. It joins the US, Micronesia, Nauru and the Marshall Islands. Take a look:
@ taxi,
Yes, and what a shameful 'coalition' it is…
I see Occupied Palestine voted against the annex….?
But, now we finally have a hall of shame.
The nations who are for annexation are highlighted in the chart: israel, usa, canada, micronesia, marshall islands and nauru. That’s three major nations and three inconsequential US satellites.
It’s beyond “shameful” – it’s downright stupid and laughable. Me, I’m laughing bellyfulls. All this jewish ‘in yer face’ kleptomania supported by white supremecist Canada and US. No, I don’t blame those hapless island nations that are not real nations but mere miniature rag dolls in the giant hands of Empire.
Who among us believes an infamous pathological liar?
Here's an excerpt from Trump's West Point speech two days ago:
Donald Trump West Point Commencement Speech Transcript
@ taxi,
He must have missed the Tel Aviv memo. Fluff soundbites, for the right, dumbed-down audience, that sits on 1 knee and hands out $10 bills left and right [no questions asked].
He should tell this BS to the grunts munching chow in the Syrian hinterland…
Plato's friend, Linh Dinh, has written an interesting article on the Black community's protests in the US. Without mentioning me by name, he makes reference to me at the end of his article. Here it is:
Your Black Future
Re Canada's voting for annexation; I'm disappointed in Trudeau, as a son of the great Fidel Castro I would expect better.
His daddy must be rolling in his grave.
I think Fidel is rolling in his grave over the fake lineage with the lowly Zio Canadian. The father-son thing is just a rumor, GRR, yet the resemblance sure is a striking one:
I used to think it to be a rumour too Taxi; however the circumstantial evidence is strong. So for now i choose to believe as I want Fidels’ genes to endure LOL.
Some websites cite that Trudeau’s mother went to Cuba 9 months before giving birth to Trudeau and it was there that she had a tryst with Fidel; and other websites say that the mother went to Cuba 4 years after giving birth to Justin Trudeau. Hard to tell what is true in this case – you and I will never know for sure – and I for one do not care either way, to be honest. But Fidel’s genes must be wonky to have produced a daughter who fled Cuba back in 1964 and continues to love living in anti-Castro Miami where she remains – wonky to have also produced a bastard son like the zio cocksucker Justin. Personally, I’m more of an Ernesto Che Guevara groupie.
The great Nasrallah gave a televised speech last night – unfortunately I fell asleep before it began. But, I will make time today to watch it and report the speech's major points back to y'all later.
When the black lives matter gambit follows the same trajectory as the holocasut, it will be crystal clear who's behind [it's clear already].
The jews, who hate EVERYONE who's not jewish, let alone people of color, are fast setting up America's Blacks to go to war with America's Whites. This is super clear. Which is why I also blame BLM for taking the shekel and willingly becoming soldiers for the jews, just like the shekeled wahabis are willing soldiers for the jews. I'm finding no distinction in this context between wahabis and BLM-ers.
@ taxi,
When the takfiri terrorists didn’t move in to liberate Occupied Palestine, but found shelter and hospital beds there instead, and the blm is now catapulted into a new goddess to worship, only one question remains: qui bono?
Not you and me. It’s that nauseating minority, the one that keeps creating a host of other minorities [gender, color, race, lines etc.] to be able to ‘blend in’ better and not be that outstanding. Fortunately, you and I know their name: the jews. Also fortunately, so many more people are waking up to this reality. Although their inferiority complex will not allow it, they should keep these developments in the back of their heads/minds, because once the proverbial sh** hits the fan, they won’t have anywhere left to go, because where ever they do go, the [moral] rot follows along with hem. They simply won’t last [that long].
In his latest and very important speech, Nasrallah first took time to eulogize two Resistance personalities who recently passed away. One of them being the leader of Islamic Jihad/Gaza, Dr. Ramadan Shallal; and the second being a high-ranking Hezbollah member, Haj Hassan Farhat – both died of natural causes (illnesses) and not in combat. R.I.P. to both heroes, and sincere commiserations to their families and friends.
Nasrallah also spoke much of local Lebanese issues, mainly of the protests that broke out last week in Beirut and Tripoli, analyzing with it the saudi-israel-us media campaign that is attempting to link the dire financial state of Lebanon with Hezbollah’s weapons. He dismissed the false linkage and said that this dark media campaign, coupled with the new US sanctions known as ‘Caesar’s Law’ are specifically directed against the people of Lebanon (and Iraq and Syria too), aiming to starve them and turn them against the very armies and Resistance groups that protects them from the deadly “zionist enemy”. He advised listeners not to fall for the “bread for arms” campaign that is designed to cut off Lebanon from the outside trading world, designed to disarm and force it to its knees before starvation. He reminded people that the US cares naught about the Lebanese, that the US brings them nothing but chains and humiliation, that although the financial situation in the Leb is dire, the Lebanese do actually have choices and to use these multiple choices at their disposal. Pivoting eastwards was his recommendation, reminding people that the nation of Iran is available to assist the Lebanon in its financial crisis, adding also that the Chinese too are more than just available, with very good deals on the table being currently studied by the Diab government. He said that pivoting East does not mean abandoning the West, but indeed the pivot will provide the Leb with multiple doors to utilize. He reminded people that since 1948, what has kept the Lebanon intact was its arms and its fighting spirit, that these two factors should never be abandoned – that the US does not work towards ANY benefit for the people of Lebanon, but works only and ever for the benefit of Israel who covets all of the Lebanon’s natural resources and land.
He analyzed the purpose behind the new US sanction known as ‘Caesar’s Law’, identifying it as the “last weapon” in America’s hands against the people of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. He said that this sanction aims to close the financial borders between the three nations – a long-held military aim that has failed – so as to isolate its peoples and impose a “death by starvation or surrender” on them. Here he warned the enemy that should they keep aggressively pushing through with this sanction, the Resistance will respond most dramatically (meaning: open a sudden front against the Zionist enemy). He directed the following dynamic warning at the jewish enemy who aims to disarm Hezbollah: “If you give us a choice between a death by your bullet or a death by starvation, I tell you, we INSIST on keeping our weapons and you will NOT starve us! We will kill you, we will kill you, we WILL kill you!”. He assured and promised viewers that neither Iraq, Syria or the Lebanon will starve under Caesar’s Law; that these three nations have friends and allies around the world (meaning Russia, China and Iran) who will also never allow for this to happen.
He ended with encouraging the Lebanese not to be frightened by the US and to seek their own interests wherever they may find it.
The phrase that resonated the most from his speech is worth repeating here: “If you give us a choice between a death by your bullet or a death by starvation, I tell you, we INSIST on keeping our weapons and you will NOT starve us! We will kill you, we will kill you, we WILL kill you!”.
Dear reader, if the Caesar’s law is fanatically pursued by the enemy, the expected war front will highly likely be opened under the banner of ‘financial defense’, and roll thus forward towards the liberation of Jerusalem.
Keep an eye on the developments of the Caesar’s Law. Let’s see how far the enemy is willing to push on with this Caesar’s Law, “the last weapon” in the hands of the enemy.
Some of the main highlights of Nasrallah's speech, with English subs:
"… We will kill you, we will kill you, we WILL kill you!".
Let is be known here that Nasrallah has never ever before used the "kill you" expression on a foe before. This was certainly a first. Shows therefore that he is drawing a clear giant red line to all his israeli military foes who always, always listen to his speeches.
I will make time later to share links to israel's reaction to Nasrallah's latest speech.
Ooof and lol: the majority of the israeli press pretty much ignored Nasrallah's speech and warning. A couple of jew rags covered it and they're full of misquotations and diversions. No, I will not link them cuz there's absolutely nothing there for you but stupid bullshit: no realism and no full picture – just stupidity and demonization. We've already seen this thousands of times before.
I've been told that the WaPo has described the speech's content as one of "desperation" lol. I tried to access the article but wadyaknow: behind a jewy paywall. It's here, if anyone has access and would care to cut-paste the article's content in a comment: this would be great. But I'm not holding my breath:
Nasrallah says Lebanon should ignore Caesar's Law
And if anyone is interested, I also found Nasrallah's latest speech (minus the first 20 mins) with English interpretation here:
I was referred here with the following question from Jen in Moon of Alabama's comments section:
"I tithe about 60% of my disposable income. Whom can I transfer funds to to help Syria without hurting Assad's government? I'm a US citizen but I have no problem playing Thoreau in this case.
Ralph W. Reed"
Thanks for your time in this matter.
I wouldn’t know, buddy. But I do know that voting zionist cocksuckers out of office(s) is by far more helpful to Syrians than just throwing bucks at them. They need to be left alone by us by far more than they need our dollars.
When travelling through London about ten years ago I remember talking to a Palestinian telling me that 'eventually the Jews of Israel will leave, they will just walk out'. Given the near certainty that the US Empire of Insanity will end it will bring Israel to crisis sooner than later as the US Empire is on its deathbed. Very soon it will get its Last Rites and will richly deserve its end.
The US is like a vampire on the world. Right now it is trying to starve the Syrian people. My sympathies are with the resistance and the people of the East. I don't have any sympathy left to parcel out to the American people that allow their representatives (so called) to continue their horror show on the world. Seeing their horror show come home to US cities is a kind of divine justice.
Here's Elijah Magnier's part 2 of his latest trio on Caesar's Law:
Syria Caesar’s Law: After Syria, How Will it Affect Iraq? 2/3
The enactment of "Caesar’s Law" – the new US sanctions designed to “pursue individuals, groups, companies, and countries that deal with the Damascus government” – is apparently directed against Syria but in reality, aims to kill many birds with one stone. This “law” aims to damage Iran, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, united under one front: the “Axis of the Resistance”.
The EU-US sanctions on Syria under Caesar’s Law aim to cut the connection which exists between Tehran and Lebanon via Iraq and Syria. The growing power of the “Axis of the Resistance” following its victories in Syria (by preventing the regime change) and in Iraq (by recovering the territories occupied by ISIS) cannot be allowed to proliferate since it represents a threat to both Israel and the US. And we have not even mentioned the Yemen and Palestine!
Israel is known for adopting a strategic policy of pre-emptive strikes, attacking and destroying possible future threats. This policy dates from the occupation of Palestine in 1947. However, Israel has become more than ever indispensable to the US due to the return of Russia to the international arena and in particular to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The Russian strategic repositioning in the Middle East, triggered by the US war on Syria, is reviving the cold war for the US administration and making Israel indispensable as a “forefront country” in the face of Moscow’s expanding influence in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. These three countries are considered by the US a strategic security zone to both Israel and the US now that Russia is in the same orbit.
The US thought – by positioning itself at the Syrian-Iraqi borders al-Tanf where it has prevented the Syrian Army from approaching its base and keeps a 55 km security distance – that could close the Tehran-Baghdad-Damascus-Beirut road. Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani reacted fast and liberated the road linking Deir-ezzour to al-Qaem, another crossing into Iraq. Soleimani turned the US plan that aimed to cripple the Syrian economy on its head.
The “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2016” was approved by the Obama administration in July 2016. It had been hindered because it negatively affects the US-Russia negotiation on Syria. However, the Trump administration hawks refuse to acknowledge defeat and has activated the Act to attempt to close all doors on Russia, China, Syria and the “Axis of the Resistance”. But if Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi even tries to abide by the US sanctions, he will put himself in an impossible domestic position and become an enemy of many strong Iraqi groups, including Iran. Thus, al-Kadhemi’s only chance is to try and keep the balance between his strategic US ally and his inevitable neighbourly relationship with Iran.
On the pretext of “supporting Iraq in its critical financial crisis” and providing the country with billions of dollars, pro-US voices in Iraq started to advertise for the necessity of deploying counter-terrorism forces along the Syrian-Iraqi borders. They are claiming it is important to keep various Iraqi organisations and groups loyal to Iran away from the Syrian-Iraqi borders. They make no mention whatsoever of the presence of the hundreds of thousands of Kurdish peshmerga troops in Kurdistan, loyal to the Kurdish Leader Masoud Barzani. Even if the central government pays the salaries of the hundreds of thousands of Peshmerga Kurds, they are hostile to Baghdad – though not to the US! Indeed, the Peshmerga fought and killed Iraqi officers in Kirkuk when the Kurds refused to withdraw from the city and to deliver key oil fields. They were forced to pull out under counterattack from the Iraqi Army and Hashd al-Shaabi – the “Popular Mobilisation Forces”.
These voices in Iraq mirror the same request for Lebanon, where the Americans are pushing for the deployment of the United Nations Forces (UNIFIL) along the Lebanese-Syrian borders, at the request of Israel, to block the flow of precision missiles to Hezbollah.
The US is, at this time, acting not only for the interests of Israel, but also in its own interests, by refusing an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, which is an important source of energy in the Middle East. The US-Iraqi strategic dialogue commenced on Thursday 11th of June but is not expected to lead to any significant outcome in the coming months notwithstanding the expected visit of al-Kadhemi to Washington next month. The US would continue to ignore the January 2020 parliamentary binding decision to enforce a total withdrawal of all foreign forces (notably the US) from Iraq.
When the Iraqi parliament united to vote for the US withdrawal, the Sunni Speaker Mohammad al-Halbousi tried to label the gathering a sectarian vote. He said on air “this is a Shia not a national decision”. It seems the Iraqi constitution is elastic and can alter democracy to national consensus, depending on the politicians’ mood. This is exactly the confessionalism trap (rather than democratic votes) that has crippled Lebanon for decades, preventing any forward movement.
There is no doubt there are Shia, Sunni and Kurds who oppose US withdrawal from Iraq. However, many Shia, Sunni, Kurds and Turkmen demand a total US departure. The majority of 172 voted for the US to leave, forcing a binding decision. The US has killed many security members in the last year, including Hashd al-Shaabi, Iraqi Army members and Federal police officers. It has destroyed Karbala civilian airport and allowed Israel to bomb Iraq. “The US informed us that a number of bombardments of Hashd al-Shaabi sites in Iraq in the Summer of 2019 were carried out by Israel”, said former Prime Minister Adil Abdel Mahdi.
The US contributed to the instability of the Middle East, violating international law and every precondition of its presence in Mesopotamia, when it assassinated Qassem Soleimani and the vice general commander of Hashd al-Shaabi Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes at Baghdad airport. Washington aims to cripple Hashd al-Shaabi or to dilute it within the Ministry of Defence without tackling the Peshmerga Kurdish forces “command and control”. These forces receive their salaries from Baghdad but are considered the US’s arm in Iraqi Kurdistan. This means that in Iraq there are forces loyal to the US, others loyal to Baghdad, others loyal to the Marjaiya in Najaf, and others loyal to Iran.
Prime Minister al-Kadhemi began his functions by visiting Hashd al-Shaabi HQ, declaring it “the force of the homeland”, wearing Hashd uniform and promising he would protect these forces, putting an end to all negative speculation concerning the fate of Hashd al-Shaabi. “Hashd is an honour for Iraq and I am proud that I am wearing this uniform”, the PM said.
Now Iran – according to private Iranian sources who visited Baghdad recently – has promised not to intervene and to allow Iraq to sort out its crisis and manage the US-Iranian relationship in its own way. It has asked all political parties to collaborate with the Prime Minister for the success of his mandate at this delicate moment and to collaborate to reach the desired objectives in seeking a new parliamentary election and the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq. Indeed, Asaeb ahl al-Haq, an Iraqi pro-Iranian organisation which fought against the US occupation forces (and which has 13 MPs), decided to close its offices in the south and centre of Iraq. This gives space for Mr Kadhemi to breathe and show that he can make changes without US support and that its internal affairs are not the US’s concern.
The Marjaiya in Najaf halted its decision to detach the four brigades – financed and commanded by the Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Sistani and known as “Hashd al-Atabat” (Atabat, single Ataba, refering to the holy shrines spread in Karbalaa, Najaf, Baghdad and Samarra under the Marjaiya’s supervision) – from Hashd al-Shaabi.
Sources in Sayyed Sistani’s inner circle told me: “Sayyed Sistani wanted to shake a stick in the face of Hashd when he announced his intention to merge the four brigades within the Defence ministry. This is a blow beneath the belt. Hashd al-Shaabi cannot behave without consultation and the main commands should be given to professional officers”.
Indeed, Abdel Aziz al-Mahammadawi, aka abuFadek, was suggested as the replacement of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes. This suggestion was rejected by Najaf, unofficially. The Marjaiya would like to see Faleh al-Fayyad leading the National Security Ministry but not Hashd al-Shaabi. The command could be given to an officer like Brigadier general Abdel Ghani al-Assadi, the former head of the Counter-terrorism Golden Unit. Hakem al-Zameli, a potential candidate, was boycotted by the Marjaiya unofficially. Abu fadak was appointed Chief of staff of Hashd al-Shaabi, in charge of ground operations, a position he has held before.
The Marjaiya believes Hashd al-Shaabi “should remain, and is necessary to confront ISIS but also to question the Peshmerga status.” According to the Marjaiya: “No east or west, Iraq first but that applies to all forces and not only Hashd al-Shaabi. All forces should be under the command of the Prime Minister. The Iranian and the US influence should end” said the source in Najaf.
The Marjaiya would like to see all named distinctions within the Hashd al-Shaabi ended so that it becomes a real force within the security forces with an Iraqi agenda. The Iraqi agenda includes the withdrawal of the US forces as well and the end of Iran’s influence over Iraqi organisations and groups.
“The Shia political parties like Al-Fateh, Sa’yroon (Moqtada al-Sadr), Nuri al-Maliki, Haidar Abadi, Sayyed Ammar al-Hakim, Sheikh Qais al-Khaz’ali, all have seats in parliament and are therefore stronger than the Marjaiya when it comes to voting any resolution. Najaf is limited in its influence at the end of the day and can only shuffle certain cards. In fact, we don’t have a road map”, said the source in Najaf.
The US is holding the cash that Iraq needs, including World Bank deposits. It can state its will but it cannot impose it on Iraq. The US would like to know exactly how many
members Hashd al-Shaabi has, and the whereabouts of all its commanders. Its plan is to ask Iraq to reduce expenditures, starting with Hashd al-Shaabi. Hashd will always be considered a pro-Iranian body in Iraq and the US can do very little about it, however much pressure it exerts. The alternative would be an all-out war in Mesopotamia, and US forces would be targeted when they target Hashd bases. The US cannot survive in a hostile environment where a large part of the inhabitants is well-armed and has fighting experience not only related to the war against ISIS but also inspired by Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran. If the US believes it can manoeuvre and gain time to stay in Iraq for as long as it wishes, it will only be faced with more aggressive Iranian allies in Iraq, including the Lebanese Hezbollah, still powerful in Mesopotamia.
Iran has decided to keep a low profile, striking deals with Baghdad and preparing to fulfil energy, road and other contracts already concluded notwithstanding the US sanctions. Iraq has decided to protect its $20 billion contracts with China and has no intention of pulling out. Iraq will be waiting to see the developments after October 2020 and see who will be re-elected at the White House, to decide its next step. In the meantime, Prime Minister Kadhemi can do little to impose strategic reforms. He is supposed to prepare the country for the next parliamentary elections and deal with a dire economic situation. He needs to play his cards well to increase his re-election chances.
However, it seems the US has little intention to relieve Iraq from the tremendous pressure of “Caesar’s Law”. The US would like to see the interruption of the Iraq-Syria relationship. This is an impossible demand since ISIS uses the borders and security and intelligence cooperation is mandatory. Moreover, the flow of goods and land transport from Iran to Iraq, to Syria and from Lebanon to Iraq is an artery that the US will not be able to sever. Iran will certainly challenge US border closures.
Washington will not stop there: Lebanon is next on its list (to be developed in part 3/3). It is not impossible that the US will use a “scorched earth” policy, not only to try to stop the armaments supply for the Lebanese Hezbollah but also to prevent Russia and China from contesting its regional dominance.
I'm posting part 2 above and part 3 below because Elijah's work is now accessible to subscribers only – and perhaps some of you readers don't have access. I don't do subscriptions or any monetary transactions on the net myself, but Elijah is kind enough to often send me his articles via email. Hope you enjoy the share.
@ taxi,
Thus, thank the both of you for sharing it with me/us. Appreciated.
And here's part 3 of Elijah's Caesar's Law series:
Syria Caesar’s Law and How it Will Affect Lebanon: Israel will be targeted 3/3
The enactment of "Caesar’s Law" – the new US sanctions designed to “pursue individuals, groups, companies, and countries that deal with the Damascus government” – is apparently directed against Syria but in reality aims to subdue Lebanon and its population to accommodate Israel’s conditions. Lebanon’s “Axis of the Resistance” member, Hezbollah, has an open conflict with Israel. Israel has a list of imposing demands: close off the flow of weapons via the Lebanese borders with Syria, disarm Hezbollah, impose its own terms on land and maritime borders, and push Lebanon to join other Middle Eastern countries in signing a peace deal- with Israel. But Hezbollah naturally has other plans- to enforce a new Rule of Engagement and take the attack initiative rather than opt for the defence response. This is similar to the Gaza deterrence policy of Hamas, another member of the “Axis of the Resistance”, that has been to hit targets in Israel if (and when) economic sanctions are imposed.
As Israel fears, a forthcoming Middle East war would certainly have multiple united fronts, involving the “Axis of the Resistance” members all together simultaneously. It is not surprising that members of the “Axis of the Resistance” (including Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and Iraq) synchronise and rehearse; they have been working on the intensive coordination of war scenarios for over a year. It cannot be ruled out that Israel, noticing the reaction of the “Axis of the Resistance” to the imminent sanctions, will ask the US to agree to stand down, to avoid all-out war. The “Axis of the Resistance” has prepared several scenarios, all on track for implementation, and, without exception, all are very painful for Israel.
In Gaza, Israel perpetrates collective punishment on the residents, who suffer hardship and are being choked by Israeli sanctions that limit the flow of basic support items needed by the local population. Hamas has adopted inventive methods – using helium balloons carrying explosives and incendiary devices, and an increase in rocket attacks – to twist Israel’s arm and soften the sanctions. “Israel has understood that better conditions in Gaza would lessen the incentive of Hamas and the Gazans to go to war”, said Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of research at Israel’s military intelligence.
Yisrael Beytenu party leader and former defence minister Avigdor Liberman revealed earlier this year that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent the Mossad chief Yossi Cohen and Herzi Halevi, the head of the southern command of the Israeli army, to “beg” Qatar to continue the periodic payments to Hamas. Lieberman described Netanyahu’s pledge as “protection money to maintain the calm…a policy of submission to terror”.
The “Caesar Act” pretends to be a humanitarian response to the practice of torture in Syria. It is not. The US intelligence services have a long history of practising torture (since 1950) when the CIA conducted secret research to crack the code of human consciousness that ramped up a billion dollars a year bill, reports Professor Alfred McCoy, 2006, in his book “A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation From The Cold War To The War On Terror”,(New York: Metropolitan Books).
Actually, President Donald Trump stated his objectives as “to get the hell out of Syria, it is sand and blood and death.” Later, the US President rapidly changed his mind and said he wanted to steal “Syrian oil”. Basically, the US’s objective in Syria is limited as far as the US national interest is concerned. Stealing the oil is far from generating a substantial revenue that American people could look forward to for enriching their country. Also, the US asked Saudi Arabia and the Emirates – who responded positively – to invest in reconstructing Raqqah and the US-occupied Kurdish province in the north-east Syria. Therefore, the US presence can only be a rather obvious excuse to accommodate Israel which is using the US military air bases to attack Syria and Iraq. Also, Israel wants the US to keep its forces close, in the Levant, in case Syria retaliates against the hundreds of Israeli violations and the bombing of targets in Syria during these nine years of war.
Therefore, it is all about what Israel dictates regarding the US forces’ deployment and Israel’s own national interest. It is not therefore an exaggeration to say that the “Caesar Act” is a US policy to starve the populations of Syria and Lebanon, the most affected countries, so that Israel can reach its objectives. In Syria, Israel would like to see Hezbollah and Iran leave the country and for Damascus to accept the Israeli occupation of the Golan heights. Top of the list of Israeli requests is to shut down the flow of weapons to Hezbollah via Damascus.
The US State Department sent a message to President Bashar al-Assad via the United Arab Emirates asking him to drop Iran and Hezbollah so that the reconstruction of Syria could be eased by the return of Gulf investors. Assad rejected the offer, since it originated with those who contributed to the destruction of his country. He certainly wouldn’t exchange these “new friends and allies” headed by the US with those who have prevented Syria’s partition- Iran and Hezbollah. Not surprisingly, the US enjoys little credibility since President Trump took office. The Syrian President trusts the “Axis of the Resistance” and has already chosen a painful yet secure path.
“Lebanon has been living under the US sanctions for more than two years, where the US administration prevented most Lebanese immigrants from transferring financial support to their families in Lebanon and accused many wealthy Lebanese of financing terrorism. Moreover, the Central Bank has been under US close control, contributing to devaluing the local currency and allowing the transfer of tens of billions of dollars aboard that belong to bank owners and politicians without informing the government of the consequences of such an act. Also, the Central Bank Governor, highly regarded by the US administration, issued new financial laws contributing to preventing any transfer from abroad to families in Lebanon thus exploding the economic crisis even further. And we cannot omit the most important fact that governments since 1992 have been highly corrupt, which led the country today to a close-to-collapse financial situation. “Caesar’s Law” is therefore nothing more than an additional sanction to prevent Lebanon from trading with Syria and from exporting and importing its goods overland. It amounts to boxing Lebanon within its borders, with the US offering nothing in return.”
This is what a source within the “Axis of the Resistance” said. He added: “Hezbollah is the only source of fresh foreign currency injected monthly into the country. Tens of millions of dollars are exchanged locally and contribute to supporting tens of thousands of families. Therefore, the US’s aim to cripple Hezbollah has failed and with it the aim to turn Lebanese society against Hezbollah. The Lebanese took to the streets (before Caesar’s Law) against mismanagement and corruption, so the lockdown of Lebanon within its borders won’t work. The Lebanese officials will realise in their own time and at their own speed the necessity to open the borders with Syria – since the US is failing to offer any supporting compensation or alternative to the Lebanese financial crisis. We have patience, unlike the Lebanese government.”
Lebanon has been suffering from a shortage of hard currency since late in 2019. The flow of Dollars and Euros from abroad into the country has stopped. Bankers imposed limits on access to cash and transfer abroad before completely halting the transfer and delivery of dollars to depositors from their own foreign currency accounts. The population’s trust in what used to be a robust banking system has evaporated. There is an estimated $5 billion and 50 billion Lebanese Lira in cash hidden by the population due to the lack of confidence in the future of the banking system and the protection of access to their own savings.
Lebanon has been living beyond its means and spending without any visibility of the future. Every single President, including the current one, prevented the deflation and the rise of the dollar rate against the Lebanese Lira for fear of being accused of bad governance on his professional record. The high interest rate offered by the Central Bank Governor Riyad Salame attracted dollar deposits. Salame, however, did not show maturity in managing the economy in the long term.
The “Axis of the Resistance” understands the motivation behind the US’s “Caesar Act” approach and will have to respond to Israel first since it is the major influence on US decisions in the Levant. There is no lack of options and some of the obvious responses would be to mimic Hamas and hit Israel, as follows:
The first scenario: Lebanon claims the return of the Shebaa Farms and the seven Lebanese villages (Terbikha, Saliha, Malkiyah, Nabi Yusha, Kades, Hunin and IbliQamh) occupied by Israel. Therefore, any Hezbollah attack against the Israeli forces in these villages, by crossing the Israeli boundary fence or bombing objectives in these Lebanese villages, would be considered a legitimate act recognised by the Lebanese government.
The second scenario: Israel violates Lebanese land and sea territory and its airspace. It is likely that, on the first violation of the border crossing, the Israeli army will be met with deadly fire, given the legitimate right of Lebanon to prevent any violations of its sovereignty. An Israeli Navy vessel cruising in Lebanese waters can also be destroyed, by Hezbollah’s advanced supersonic missiles: all on board will be eliminated.
The third scenario: On the first Israeli attack on any objective in Syria, the “Axis of the Resistance” will respond with great fire power trained on several precise objectives in the occupied Golan Heights, thus giving legitimacy to Syria’s response. If Israel retaliates, the unity of the “Axis of the Resistance” will impose a multiple front against Israel, including Lebanon if needed, and depending on the degree of Israeli retaliation.
Will these scenarios potentially lead to an increased hostilities or even great war in the Middle East? Possibly. The US politicians are in a very weak position today, with a particularly weak president facing a domestic uprising, a forthcoming ballot for re-election and therefore, we assume, the desire to avoid venturing into a war whose consequences are unknown. If the US joins in, Iran will not be watching from afar and the Iraqi groups loyal to the “Axis of the Resistance” will not be excluded from joining the battlefield with their long-range precision missiles supplied by Iran. After all, when the population is starving and Hezbollah’s existence is in question, there will certainly be no objection against a wider war with Israel.
How could a war be avoided? There are possibilities offered by the Hezbollah Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in his latest speech, where he proposed to the Lebanese government to accept support from Iran. The US sanctions will reach a critical level, but Hezbollah is in a position to acquire fuel, gasoline and gas from Iran and pay in Lebanese Lira to Iran to avoid using the US dollar. Also, Iran could provide Lebanon with needed medicines and rebuild the Lebanese industry infrastructure without relying on the American currency. The Lebanese population will have to accept the offer since they have no other options. Nonetheless, Lebanon is divided, and half the population would rather stay on the side of the West and keep away from the “Axis of the Resistance” (including some among Hezbollah’s allies). If the Lebanese population gain the upper hand and force the political leadership to accept Iran’s generous support, there will be no need for war and no need to involve the entire Middle East.
Iraq could also play a role: Baghdad could provide Lebanon with the necessary fuel and be paid in Lebanese Lira and pay the Lebanese currency to Iran in exchange for the gas provided by Tehran to the southern Iraqi provinces. However, the readiness of the new Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi to upset the Americans is doubtful. Kadhemi would like to keep away from the Iran-US struggle and will want to take the country towards a new parliamentary election.
Hezbollah acquired its weapons and developed its military capability at the price of over ten thousand of dead and wounded after the second Israeli war in 2006, and the nine years of war in Syria. Israel considers Hezbollah as one of the strongest armies in the Middle East. Therefore, if pushed into a corner, Hezbollah can itself receive the Iranian support of fuel and medicine ignoring Lebanese government approval – or disapproval – and sell it in Lebanon at a cheaper than market price. It will be an opportunity to magnify Hezbollah’s image, similar to (in 2006) when Israel failed to achieve its objectives and could not gather behind it the majority of the Lebanese already below the poverty line.
Israel failed to disarm or destroy Hezbollah in 2006 when it was a hundred times less well-equipped and less powerful (and trained) than today. Hezbollah has precision missiles, armed drones and supersonic anti-ship and anti-oil platform missiles. It has tens of thousands of Special Forces with nine years of experience in different types of warfare. No force in Lebanon can stand against Hezbollah and nobody could stop it from imposing its will without necessarily taking the power of the entire country in hand. It is natural to think that Hezbollah won’t allow the Shia and the Lebanese who stand by it to starve and surrender to the Israeli-US conditions.
The ball is in the US court and there is little doubt that this US administration will make sure many Lebanese politicians, Christians and Muslims, are on its list of terrorists before October 2020, to embarrass any future administration and prevent it from lifting the sanctions easily. Of course, because the US is not acting according to its own chosen agenda and national interests, its understanding of what should or should not be done is defective, or at best limited.
At a certain point, when Hezbollah’s reaction becomes obvious, Israel may consider “inspiring” Washington to cease its pressure on Lebanon, as it did with Gaza, so as to avoid suffering the consequences.
But Israel could also think War is an option because its actions may not have been thoroughly thought out! Israel has killed Hezbollah leaders, Iranian scientists, Hamas commanders, Iraqi commanders: and in consequence the “Axis of the Resistance” became stronger. Learning from History has never been a strong point, neither for Israel nor for the USA.
Washington may not want to push Hezbollah to react and will have to rely on its allies in Lebanon. Therefore, through the International Monetary Fund, may supply Lebanon with a couple of billions of dollars per year so the option of war against Israel and the commercial and energy supply form Iran may be disregarded by the Lebanese government.
All possibilities are on the table. As far as the Gulf is concerned, its recognition and support for Israel makes no difference and changes nothing in the “probabilities of war” equation, because in every single Israeli war against Hezbollah, the Gulf countries were the first to stand behind Israel and yet their support did not tip the outcome in Israel’s favour. There is little doubt that the months that lie ahead before the end of 2020 will be critical for the Middle East.
Any thoughts from anybody on Elijah’s ‘three war scenarios’ written up in part 3?
Mine are the following:
1- scenario 1: Shebaa Farms are too small a motive for the Hezb to launch a war against israel over. Plus, the Hezb has the presidency and gov support with regards defense of Lebanon already.
2- scenario 2: Hezbollah will not start bringing down israeli jets flying over Lebanon before the shit hits the internal fan in the West Bank and Gaza and the region erupts in an anti-israel war. Otherwise, the Hezb would be giving away military secrets on the type of anti-aircraft weapons they possess. They’re saving it all for when the Big War breaks out.
3- scenario 3: yes, plausible.
But, I do maintain that the timing of the war is deeply connected to the readiness and right environment inside of occupied Palestine. It is a troubled and suffocating Palestine that will trigger the big war and not a subdued occupied Golan. Meaning: an out of control third Intidada. What goes on in an annexed Palestine will be the trigger, not what’s going on with war-torn Syria.
＠taxi,
I'd opt for scenario 1. The US could and should have showed the Japanese military what an A-bomb could do out on sea [not 2 cities].
Hezbollah can take back what is rightfully theirs, in a ultra short Blitzkrieg. As they do this within the rules and regulations of international law, Occupied Palestine has to take it on the chin.
More importantly, this act will instill more fear in the hearts of the cowards and once Syria is liberated and Iraq [more or less] stabilized, Occupied Palestine can be attacked from all sides [sans an escape route] and finally liberated and handed back to its rightful owners. The rusty keys will unlock the future of a free state..
Hi Taxi. I agree that the likely trigger will be events in Palestine, especially if they really try to annex more Palestinian land, as planned. The whole nightmarish zionist project these many decades has been about Palestine. Palestine is at the center always. The war is really about the liberation of Palestine, and the destruction of israel is the necessary corollary.
Scenario 3 is the only that really rings a bell, the other two do not fit HezbAllah's way of dealing with conflict.
I hear more and more that in a possible war with the apartheid regime, it is HezbAllah that will take the initiative, not to different from 2006, it is my understanding HezbAllah prefers to dictate the pace and place of battles, so the apartheid regime may think they control events but are indeed followers. I can sense a major trap in the making for the apartheid regime, one they will regret to exist for a long time. The firepower in the hands of The Resistance is serious, it is close and very precise, there is no way the apartheid regime can win a war in the ME anymore, they a done.
Taxi, thks for your time in sharing to us your view of Nasrallah's speech.
Something tells me that it is not going to be a clean exit for the Israelis. Rats leaving a sinking ship – except that these are vile and vicious rats, so they will inflict damage on their way out. Would they nuke Iran?
So torn.
@ CLOAK AND DAGGER,
Scorched Earth only works when you have the ability to withdraw into the 'hinterland.' Occupied Palestine has no such thing.
The Axis of Resistance has to capability to boms major Occupied Palestine cities into oblivion and the 'chosen ones' know that. Hence them pussy footing with 'wahabi nihilist' to keep pumping $$$ into Hamas' and others coffers. They're scared shitless, and that's exactly where they should be at this moment in time.
Here’s Elijah and myself in an email exchange from yesterday: discussing strategy and capability and an eventual war with terrorist israel:
Elijah:
Taxi:
Taxi, thank you so much for sharing it, your thoughts and Elijah's are much appreciated and respected.
I do agree with you both, all indicates The Resistance tone is increasing, and it blew away strongly after the murder of Soleimani, al-Muhandis and other heroes in January, it was clear after the murder that things have changed, and I am not talking about Iranian powerful response, I indeed saying The Resistance tone has changed, hence the desperate and pathetic strangulation with the criminal sanctions.
The apartheid regime is desperate in its core, they think there is no way back for them, meaning they are sure they have to expand into the Golan and West Bank to continue with its "economic growth" prospect but know this will cause a payback, they trust they can have the GCC, US and the EU back, as always for the past 4 decades, so they are going blind into the abyss, they will see hell awaits them.
What impresses me is that the apartheid regime used to have effective intel and understanding of things in the 60-70s, how their protective apparatus has disappear…hubris, exceptionalism, arrogance, go figure….they are doomed, badly, and clock is ticking…
@ taxi,
When it comes to ‘fighting’ don’t talk, just ‘kill.’
Occupied Palestine can’t handle ‘death.’ No laws to prevent it from happening, so go for the proverbial ‘jugular’ and be done with it. Bluff and blister only get you ‘this’ far on a battlefield…
We are eleven days away from official annexation. Many ziofied nations are giving mere lip service against it. We know that they're fine-dining with israel in dimly lit restaurants and accepting shekels and internal political gifts. We know they don't give a shit about the human rights of the victim. We know that they're over-pedicured motherfuckers; genteel racists who absolutely refuse to give up their entrenched colonialist mindset. And we know that the suffering Palestinians and their friends in the Axis of Resistance aren't exactly waiting on the international community to give them their justice and their freedom.
Hence, it is time for bullets and total rebellion against the synagogue of satan.
UNHRC arms embargo call against Israel passes by only slim margin
As if israel's security depended on buying arms from freaking Congo or the Netherlands when the US's MIC is already in its back pocket.
This pompous, theatrical hypocrisy must end! And end it will with the first missile landing on tel aviv. Personally, I prefer a nuke on tel aviv, but heck what do I know? I'm just a barefooted warrior with a blunt arrow aimed at the laughing moon.
Gantz: Iran’s ‘blatant’ nuclear violations threaten Israel and global stability
The concept of loyalty is alien to the covetous satanists in tel aviv. Oh they expect loyalty from their shabot-goy nations alright, but this royalty is a one way street directed only at them and never issuing from them. The Chinese are aware of this and are playing the israelis like a fiddle against the US. ‘Dangle a shiny coin in front of the jew and lead him thus wherever you may’, is what a modern Confucius would say. The ‘Golden Calf syndrome’ is an incurable disease. Just ask Moses.

@ taxi,
Male supremacy…?
Is that why a herd of elephants it led by a female?
As you can see [on my avatar pic], I'm much bigger, stronger and taller than my wife, yet it's never [been] an issue between the 2 of us, as we've accepted and respected it as a fact. Whatever my weak points are, is where my wife excels, so there's a natural balance we're both [very] comfortable with.
Supremacy is a phenomenon fed by those who feel they're a minority. When we're supposed to be [all] equal. there's no such thing. The 'majority' needs compassion, not a curtailed version of sanitized justice [Black lives Matter – f*** that. All lives matter].
@ taxi,
I can't take these guys serious:
"Fox News, started by foreigner Rupert Murdoch, helped by Nixon operative Roger Ailes, took advantage of this change, creating a network that was revenue first, facts last."
followed by…
"Enter to win a Traeger Pro 780 Grill when you subscribe!"
Money talks, yes, but I ain't listening…
When I first encountered a way of fighting I couldn't beat, I was taken aback. After that, I learned never to over- or underestimate either myself or my opponent. I was taught to stick to reality.
Cue in Occupied Palestine: What are the Merkava tank’s flaws?
Excerpt: "Mounting the engine in the front has another unfortunate consequence for the Merkava: it is too wide. Since the Merkava has to wrap its heavy frontal armor all around its powerpack (while other MBTs simply place the engine in the back, where armor can be much thinner), it ends up being significantly wider than other MBTs. Officially, the width of the Merkava MkIV is 3.72 meters… without side skirts. With side skirts the Merkava’s width is actually in excess of 4 meters. By comparison, both the M1 Abrams and the Leopard 2 (the next-widest MBTs in excistence) have a width of 3.65 meters (including side skirts). As a result, the Merkava MkIV is actually too large for most rail-cars and truck tank transporters in use around the world. This isn’t much of a problem for a small country like Israel. However, it severely limits the Merkava’s potential for export."
Thinking [believing] you're a winner, doesn't make you one.
If anyone is interested, here's a leaked copy of the terrorist John Bolton's new book, whose subject matter is the other terrorist Donald Trump:
The Room Where It Happened
Silly, pedestrian title! Who the fuck came up with it? A liar writing about another liar would demand a more apt title like… well, you choose:
1- Warmongers and Deceivers in the White House (Classy)
2- Trouble in Sheldon's Paradise (Behind the scenes)
3- My Shekel is Bigger Than Yours (Zionist dick-waving)
4- I'm The Biggest Warmonger in the Universe (Truthy)
5- Give Me My Fucking War Already Motherfucker! (A confessional)
6- War is Beauty (Poetic)
7- Vendetta in E-Major (A Kosher musical)
8- United by Hate, Separated by Hate (A psychological Thriller)
9- Disgruntled and Kicking (Diary of an ass)
10- Iran, Iran, Iran! (Obsessional)
11- The Emperor is a Moron (A political satire)
12- I love You, War (A modern romance)
Feel free, dear reader, to add your own title.
What else can one say about this stupid bitch-slap of a book? I mean, I doubt that any meaningful or consequential secrets on Trump are revealed in this book. We already know Trump's an egomaniacal idiot. And we definitely know that Bolton is double angry because Trump fired him before he managed to drag the US into war with Iran on behalf of israel.
The only good thing about this book is that we get to watch two zionist giants sling turd-pies at each other.

Yaaaay bintbiba's in the house! The absolute loveliest lady in the universe! Glad your visit warmed the cockles of your immensely beautiful heart. Sending you infinite love and my warm affection.
A bit late, but here's another title for Bolton's book
"Confessions Of A Zionist Cocksucker"
LOL Bonajoo – your timing is THE best heh!
My advise to the terrorist israelis: don't fuck with the Big H!
TRANSLATION OF ABOVE VIDEO
Soon after this video was released, here in the south of Lebanon, we experienced three israeli jet-fighters flying super low overhead, weaving in and out of earshot for a good one and a half hours.
Are the israelis good at playing chicken with the Hezbollah? I don't think so. We saw how chicken-shit they were in Avivim.
@ taxi,
The Occupied Palestine Brownshirts have told themselves they're true heroes, coz they can shoot unarmed Palestinians from afar, but when you bring the fight to them, they collectively shit and piss in their pants. They produce a lot of noise and tons of hot air, but when push comes to shove, they'll do a Warsaw 'raid' on you [aka run as fast as they can the other way]. Real fighters die with dignity and honor. No such thing to be found among the illegal squatters.
Hezbollah managed to put the terrors and the fear of god in the black hearts of israeli jews with just 38 seconds of video. Need we say more? Except that the importance of this video is that in it Nasrallah has announced and imposed HIS OWN new Rules of Engagement. The Hezb is no longer on the defensive: is now on the OFFENSIVE and tel aviv had better watch itself as it enforces Caesar’s Bill thru Trump’s hands.
The Hezb will fire missiles at tel aviv BEFORE Caesar’s Bill starts crushing Lebanon’s financial bones. The jews have been warned!
Let’s hope they ignore the warning.
@ taxi,
The Occupied Palestine squatters keep telling themselves how brave and daring they are.
When I said to the 2 Russians I trained with in Thailand [the ones that kept me flying all over the place], ‘You must be fearless!’ they looked at me like I was a dog singing a ‘Happy Birthday’ song to them.
“Without fear, we’d be dead.”
Then again, these men didn’t fool themselves into believing how brave and daring they were, but deep down in my heart, I knew they would fight to the death, when provoked to do so. I see no such thing in the hearts [provided they do have one] of the Brownshirts.
They’re cowards and will pay a humongous price, once death comes knocking at the doors to the gates of hell, a place where Beelzebub will embrace them like true brothers [and may they burn there forever after].
@Daniel Rich
“Without fear, we’d be dead.”
Truer words were never spoken. What makes a hero is not fearlessness, it is the propensity for counter action despite being terrified.
When I learnt how to fly about 30 years ago, I was (and still am) terrified of heights. 80% of the pilots in the world are afraid of heights, and many of us learnt how to fly to overcome that fear. (Funnily enough, when I am in the cockpit of an aircraft at any altitude, I don't feel like I am high above the Earth, even at 28,000 ft. I feel like I am in my living room watching TV!
But put me on the roof of a slightly tall building and – Hello vertigo!
As for the f'ing Israelis and their sayanim pals here – their idea of heroism is slaughtering unarmed civvies. Here is what they are really like:
https://youtu.be/meHyJduFqKA
@ CLOAK AND DAGGER,
Fear’s a survival mechanism. Pretending they’re fearless [like the goons in the clip you added], means they keep dropping their weapons and run for their lives whenever a stone flies through the air. Pathetic [and I’m being kind here].
My uncle’s a retired senior captain, who flew heavies for Lufthansa, Air France and JAL. But, no matter how many hours he’s spent up in the air, I, myself, am not comfortable in a plane. Nothing ever happened [flying], but on land many things did, so, somewhere in that mess lies the answer as to why I feel like that. On a flight from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur, a woman [2 chairs down the aisle] kept mumbling, “We’re all gonna die. We’re all gonna die.” Luckily, I’m not at that level [yet :o]
What planes do/did you fly?
@Daniel Rich
Mostly small craft: Mooneys, Pipers, and of course, Cessnas (not the jets). I am instrument-rated but haven't felt the need to get a jet rating. I did get a chance to fly the 777 simulator in Denver through a United pilot friend of mine. Crashed it on landing!
@ Cloak and Dagger,
My uncle still flies his own Cessna and chopper, but his wife wants him to quit [as he isn't getting any younger]. You mentioned 28,000 ft., and that's a height where the big boys hang out, so I assumed [always a slippery slope to begin with] you flew heavies as well. I'm familiar with the Cessna and Piper. Had to look up the Mooney, so learned a new thing today. Thanks :o]
My mom flew a B747 on a flight sim in Narita. It went well for 1 minute until my uncle set all the engines on fire. Mom completely panicked [howling alarms mentioned as a cause], acted like she was in a car and the rest is history [big crash]. So, I assume [there's that word again] you find it hard to believe that guys who couldn't even fly a Cessna properly, managed to fly 3 big planes into buildings [especially the Pentagon], right?
When you don’t want to line the pockets of a true and trusty coward:
Bolton – The Room where it Happened [aka: I know what You Did Last Night] – in .PDF format
This is an interesting take on the Bolton book:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/boltons-win-could-cost-him-more-just-profits
@ CLOAK AND DAGGER,
The Occupied Palestine delegation to the UN [back in the day] proudly referred to Bolton as their '6th man on the team.'
That's all I need to know about this spineless slimeball.
@Daniel Rich
The fact nobody has killed Bolton yet, is a source of great consternation for me. As Henry II of England cried out: "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?", overcome by frustration at Thomas Beckett. This was hilariously addressed in a great "Black Adder" episode called "The Archbishop":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Archbishop
I think they have the Black Adder collection on Netflix, unless I am mistaken.
@ Cloak and Dagger,
I borrowed a DVD set from a Scottish friend in the ex-pat community here [whom at first I pissed off by proclaiming, "So, you're from England, eh?"], containing all 4 series [+ extra stuff]. One word: brilliant. Even better: it's all rewatchable ad infinitum.
So, then my buddy tells me Rowan Atkinson actually has a severe stammer and great difficulty pronouncing the letter 'b.' How does that work when your sidekick's name is 'Baldrick?'
"Baldrick, you wouldn't recognise a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing 'subtle plans are here again'."
Cheers!
Much of history is written by the victors, but what do the 'losers' have to say…?
[German] MILITARY IMPROVISATIONS During the RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN – in .PDF format
This is what he Axis of Resistance has to study: the ability to improvise on the fly/spot when the inevitable liberation of Palestine is afoot.
A most fascinating read on how the jews weaseled themselves into America back in the 1600 – written by an African-American who goes by the name of Dontell Jackson. A well-researched document into how jews set up their colonies and peppered themselves across the homesteads of Gentile north and south America, during a time when the jews of europe were continuously being evicted from one nation after the other for usury and for societal and political corruption. Also how the settler jews in north America paid for and instigated the American Revolution:
During a time when alcohol was the ‘demon du jour’ in pilgrim-America, jews pretty much built and ran all the breweries in established American cities and towns. And, they were also the major slave traders in the south; as well as the first to introduce Freemasonary into America.
What I didn’t know before and what shook me in this document, whose research and info is distilled from actual local documents of the time, is that it was the jew trader, Levy Andrew Levy, who brought in the smallpox-infected blankets (sent from England) that ended up devastating the East Coast Indian communities.
A great read on the local history of America in its early colonialist period, with some super cool illustrations and portraits from that time:
Who Are The Jews?
Apparently, Soros is just completing a jewish mission against America that began waaaaay back when. The BLM’ers haven’t got a clue, or have they and they’re just freaking sellouts of their own cause? Here’s another excerpt from the above linked document (last page of document):
If only modern Americans are good at reading their own history…
@ taxi,
Bought and paid for.
Reminds of a story I picked up in Germany: large multinational factory pollutes river. Locals get organized. End up with 3 leaders. Leaders protest at factory’s management meeting. Are invited into a back room. Are promised boatloads of money, if they steer the uprising into the ground. The 3 leaders oblige. Once all paperwork is in order and the factory is still allowed to pump chemicals into the river, management decides not to pay the former leadership, as they figure those 3 people will be too embarrassed to ask for the money.
Wrong. Without any shame whatsoever, they sued the company and, in the end, the company had to pay. Don’t know whether they kept on living in the place, after the verdict was in, though :o]
Jay Z, anyone?
Yeah corrupting the opposition leadership is an old trick that's still in use aplenty. And if this fails, there's always honeytraps and blackmail.
Same old, same old, same old.
@ taxi,
1 of the reasons I only follow my ow instincts. I don't need anyone to tell me what to do. Like back in the day when that tree caused mayhem in your garden and livelihood, I'll be happy to lend a hand, but that's coz I'm a nice guy :o]
Taxi, this story is well known down here in Brazil…from 1595 up to 1654, the Protestant Dutch, with the help of the Anglican Brits, were at war with Catholic Spain (Most of today's Benelux used to be part of the Kingdom of Spain for centuries). Late 1500s Portugal lost its young King, Sebastian in north Africa and left the powerful Kingdom of Portugal with an elder as King which soon died and Phillip the II of Spain took by birth rights Portugal, annexing it to Spain, all Portuguese colonies around the world became suddenly under Spain, from the Americas to Asia.
When the Dutch won the war of independence agains Spain late 1500s, it quickly became a naval power with British help, and soon decided to give Spain a payback, instead of fighting against Spanish original colonies, well fortified and protected, the Dutch took on the Portuguese colonies under Spain which were not well protected by Spain and Portugal was incapable to defend, and through the West Indies Company (a military force under the pretext of trade) from Holland sent powerful forces around the world and quickly took over the Portuguese colonies in today's Malaysia, Indonesia, some in Portugal, trade post in Japan, all Portuguese settlements in South Africa and occupied part of Brazil (the northeast for over 50 years). Portugal lost 70% of its colonies during this time and got partially back some later one when it finally took over the country away from Spain.
Having said that, the Protestant Dutch of WIC had no issue with Jews and brought them in mass to some of their new colonies, a in the Northeast of Brazil, in the city of Recife, the 1st jewish community was established in all the Americas, and they thrived out of commerce. By mid 1600s the Catholic Portuguese took back the control of their. country and sent help to the remaining colonies and many battles were fought through out India, Brazil and Africa, and specifically in Recife, the WIC lost 2 key battles and had to flee all the region, while leaving they took 100% of the jewish community and decided to move north, occupying a jungle area in today's Guyanas and the island of Manhattan…which was called New Amsterdam, with all the jews that came to Brazil then Manhattan as their main civilian population….a twist in history that few actually know….
Many thanks Canthama. You've just added a fascinating south-Americas limb to Dontell Jackson's incredibly informative link on the jewish shenanigans in the continent of the Americas.
It's no wonder that especially since WW2, the jews have been hellbent on falsifying history. But REAL history never really dies, because real history is full of truth and the truth is eternal. You can temporarily bury the truth, but you can nver genocide or annihilate it.
@ Canthama,
Thank you, my friend.
I remember seeing many jewish names on houses in the Caribbean [not a single island excepted]. Guess they needed a place for some serious R&R during shabbat hours [when most slave markets were also closed, as well as on jewish holidays].
50% of NBA teams are owned by jews.
80% of the NBA commissioners are jews.
90% of the players are black.
Go figure…
Next, the music industry and Hollywood…
Correction: "[not a single island excepted]"
As I'm not sure whether I visited all islands in the Caribbean [most likely not], let me change that into 'most islands.'

Wow Daniel – I’m certainly ‘refreshed’ by your A-Z Gun Refresher Course! Personally, I’ve never owned firearms. It’s a topic that doesn’t really occupy my thoughts at all. I tend to think of my brain as a ‘loaded and ready’ gun – it is my weapon of choice, hence ‘Plato’s Guns’. But, of course, in extreme cases, I would probably pick one up for self-defense, or to aid a victimized underdog facing a life-and-death situ.
“e. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?“. Heheh!
@ taxi,
Rule of thumb: when someone comes at ya with a gun or knife in his/her hands, it means this person is afraid of ‘you’ and brings any arms to the ‘table’ in order to ‘win.’
Just raise you hands [like you’re about to surrender] and once the perp is within reach [they will come close] grab the gun/ kick the knife and knock the perp cold [I’d ‘accidentally’ discharge the gun and hit the perp somewhere where it really hurts or slip the knife into an equally painful spot, but that’s just me being the mean mofu I can be when it comes to this kinda sh**].
You mentioned a ‘petite derriere’ [a while ago] so I automatically assumed you’re of a small stature [correct me if I’m wrong]. As you can see on my avatar. nobody will consider to seriously f*** with me [for very good reasons].
Having arms and being able to shoot back at guberment goons keeps them in check. I’m an advocate of peace [among people], but I don’t trust the guberment to deliver it.
My rule of thumb: If my foot and fist can reach the nose and ballsack of any short or big guy, then I’m gonna win the fight.
@ taxi,
That depends on your ‘opponent.’ When you’re up against me, you gotta overcome the reach of a [both arms & legs] 6’3″ guy, thus, provided you’re shorter than I am, that puts you at a [physical] disadvantage. One doesn’t need ‘ifs’ in fights :o]
The ballsack is always low-hanging fruit – even on a tall man. Not forgetting here that kicking the ballsack reflexively brings the nose down to waist level.

Oh man my service provider has not turned up yet to change my router – he’s two days late already! Yesterday, I barely had 3 minutes of internet connectivity. This morning some glimmer of connectivity is available and I’m taking advantage to check emails and comments stuck in my pending box (non thank dog!). Really hope he turns up today – fingers and eyebrows crossed!
Apologies for my absence and hope y’all are doing goodly-good.

As the commendable host of this site, you’re always excused.

Iraq passes bill to unlock funds for cash-strapped state. (Seems Iraq seeks more IMF debt funds to support its bloated govt. spending. That’s not a way toward sovereignty independence from Western financial/political controls, or removal all occupying NATO troops. Meanwhile, Iraq’s president on way to US to discus ‘strategic plans.’ Lebanon’s sovereignty, economy and security also depends on sovereignty, economics and security of neighbors Iraq and Syria. Mike.)

Taxi – Appreciate update available status Diab’s govt. funding and legislative support – hopefully without any western-controlled debt – and also appreciate status of full political and trade relations restored with Syria. Thanks.
Mike. There’s plenty of discussion in media and parliament on Leb going with China at the moment – the IMF for Lebanon is NOT gonna happen. And Lebanon’s war against the Caesar’s Bill’ is part and parcel of restoration of trade with Syria.

China and Russia Reject UN Secretary General Proposal on Open Borders https://www.syrianews.cc/syria-china-and-russia-reject-un-secretary-general-proposal-on-open-borders/
Taxi – regarding possibility Lebanon gaining funding support from China, you might be interested in the following article > How Much Money Does the World Owe China? While China’s role in global trade is highly publicized and politically polarizing, its growing influence in international finance has remained more obscure, mostly due to lack of data and transparency. China has become a major global lender, with outstanding claims now exceeding more than $5 trillion. In other words, countries worldwide owed more than 6% of world GDP in debt to China as of 2017. China is now the world’s largest official creditor — surpassing traditional, official lenders such as the World Bank, the IMF, or all OECD creditor governments combined. Most Chinese loans have helped finance large-scale investments in infrastructure, energy, and mining. developing country loans are just one element of China’s overseas lending activities.
Yet another important element to China’s presence in global finance is the growing network of swap lines by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC). Central bank swap lines can be understood as standing lines of credit, where central banks agree on exchanging their currencies to facilitate trade settlements and to address liquidity needs. As of 2018, the PBoC has signed swap agreements with more than 40 central banks (ranging from Argentina to Ukraine). Nations facing financial strains can turn to China before the international financial institutions, including the IMF.
https://hbr.org/2020/02/how-much-money-does-the-world-owe-china
(Of course, China the world’s largest lender also is the world’s largest exporter and manufacturing base – producing huge cash flows, and investing in small countries without the over-political control condietions. All reasons the ‘Western-controlled finanical powers dislike, since they cannot control China. Here’s hoping such also comes to aid of our dear Lebanon – and Syria. Mike.)

What can I say this morning except: War-War-War!!! A cartoonish war of the Road Runner (Iran allies) versus Wiley E Coyote (israel and allies) kind. Every wily plan israel pushes against Iran (via Pompeo’s mouth) is left in the dust within a week. Faster oh bright-eyed birdie, run fast and faster now lol! The coyote, we know, never ever succeeded at catching the road-runner in a single episode – not one! Thus we continue to watch the mighty road-runner outpace the big-nosed coyote loser.
Oh man what will malignant israel do now that they’ve dug their own annexation grave and worse: they stand on the edge of it guarding it? Just a little push and the banana-spined idf falls right into the black hole where eternal sleep lies.
We are some three days away from official annexationdom. Hamas yesterday stated annexation will bring definite war to israel. The West Bank Arabs (Muslim and Christian) are threatening an Intifada – and this time round, they are armed by Iran for it. Do the stupid jews think that the US will drop off 100.000 US soldiers on the shores of tel aviv to help out soon as Hezbollah enters the annexation fray to aid the Palestinians? Don’t they know that Empire grows weaker by the day and even its traditional allies are letting go of Empire’s expensive, cruel and gnarly hand? Do the really stupid jews think that uae and saudi arabia, with all their major cities made of glass, will come to their aid in the next war? Well, I suppose here I should encourage the pernicious jews to believe in their current allies and really go to war-town on this basis.
It’s a wild thing to smell victory before the enemy has been cooked.
Taxi, fully concur, and believe also that should the apartheid regime annex the West Banks, the ordinary Arab from MENA will be very angry, this time they will look close to their leaders for their actions regarding this violation, and should some leaders play nice to the apartheid regime, they will face their "Arab Summer", we can feel in the air, things are on edge, a bad move may create very serious consequences, and as I have sair back in 2012 at the Syrian Perspective blog….all countries that helped to kill Syrians through direct support or indirect support will face the same fate as they pushed into Syria: civil unrest, famine, terrorism and infra structure destruction, we are beginning to see this in the US and we will most likely see in the UK, France, Turkey, GCC and of course the top of their criminal class, the apartheid regime.
This annexation will bring hell on the Occupied Palestine, there is no doubt on that, decades of crimes, violation, persecution, humiliation will explode into a popular anger that will reshape TMENA. Looking forward to it, maybe as a result, by mid 21st Century will see a new Arab enlightening era.
Thanks Canthama. Yeah I sure hope the payback for Syria is the bitchiest ever! Oh man just to remember the vile head-chopping evil they unleashed on poor Syrians makes my stomach turn and my blood boil with fury.
And now it's their turn.
Even the 'loveliest friends of israel ever’ who are pickled in Iranophobia are in a panic over the planned annexation. Netanyahu appears to be deaf to their warnings and dislodged from terra firma reality-and-consequence, and literally so deluded and hi on Greater Israel that he appears to be walking on thin air with head full of opiated oxygen. Will he heed his friends' genuine warning? Unlikely. He loves his stupid-from-greed zealot settler base and he's rushing with them right over the cliff and into the abyss.
And here at Plato's, we hope no one suddenly throws a bucket of ice-water on his stoned face at the 12th hour.
AN EXCERPT (or two):
Israel’s Annexation of the West Bank Would be a Gift to Iran
Just check out the unified and coordinated message that israel's friends are sending it – a full-on media campaign this weekend is dedicated to it:
Annexation Would Make Israel Bigger, Not Safer
Underestimating the risks of annexation (consider the cost)
If Israel goes through with West Bank annexation, everyone loses
So very many headlines like the above are out there today.
Is it all theater?
Well, Hamas doesn't think so: Hamas to Israel: 'Annexation is a declaration of war'
I believe that the proverbial bucket of ice water will arrive at a minute to midnight. An excuse will be found to delay.
I very much hope I'm wrong because I can only see annexation as nothing but a supercharged accelerant to the demise of that cancerous entity
Each vote in favour in their illegal 'knesset' will be one long sharp nail in their future coffin
@ Bornajoo,
Hear, hear. Well said, sir.
A Leb judge today issued an order banning all Lebanese media from publishing ANY statement given by the US ambassador in Lebanon, Dorothy Shea. This is because she is so freaking treacherous and keeps relentlessly giving out divisive propaganda that is causing political instability in an otherwise very volatile Lebanon. LOL so put a sock in it already Dorothy! Fuck you and your Medusa-ambassador, dear Empire!
Our Dorothy eats, drinks and sleeps on the destruction of Lebanon every day. Her first phonecall in the morning is to tel aviv to receive instruction, and her last one is to tel aviv to brief them on her progress.
I'm hoping that next, soon as a deal with China is made public, the Leb authorities will close down that pit of israeli evil otherwise known as the US embassy in Beirut.
Let me give you a little background to Dorothy’s well-deserved shtumping.
Yesterday, the Leb Minister of Interior announced the arrest of some forty so-called ‘protestors’, over half of them non-Lebanese, and he said that after a thorough investigation, his ministry has determined that the arrested are in fact “paid saboteurs and seditious activists with the sole purpose of creating the spilling of civilian blood at legitimate and peaceful Leb protests in order to create anarchy and civil war”. And without naming names, the Minister of Interior said that the arrested have confessed the names of their paymasters, of which there are several.
Obviously, the Lebanese are extremely sensitive about the topic of a ‘civil war’ breaking out. In this context, the issue of national security takes precedent over press freedoms. It is clear that the judge who ordered the silencing of the American ambassador considers her to be a threat to Lebanon’s national security. Moreover, he sees her as complicit in the deaths of some 8 protestors who died from violence at protests that went out of control due to Dorothy’s boys taking to the streets.
But what’s really intriguing about this is that little Lebanon suddenly got off its knees and smacked a backhander at Empire’s face. Feeling empowered by the soon-to-be announced deal with China, no doubt.
LOL I love this story!
No doubt this is a moment to enjoy, she had guts to do it and it is delightful to see the judge heads up and defending the Lebanon, the timing is also perfect with July 1st approaching, hopefully we will see more Arab countries doing similar stuff, the message must be understood, MENA has changed for good, no place for regimes supporting terrorism.
Latest article from Elijah just in.
US-IRAN CONFRONTATION IN LEBANON: COUNTER-MEASURES AND ESCALATION
Posted on 27/06/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
It’s looking like a long, hot summer, as tensions increase between Washington and Tehran, US elections approach, and the “maximum pressure” exercised by the US escalates. After Syria, it is Lebanon’s turn. The country’s financial failure has reached the point of no return. The US is trying to attribute the consequences of the severe economic situation to Hezbollah, the strongest of Iran’s allies even if US officials claim otherwise. However, Iran and its ally have resolved that the Lebanese society to which Hezbollah belongs will not be bullied or pushed into famine. No one should be surprised to see Iranian ships docking at Latakia harbour to supply Lebanon with much needed food, energy and medical supplies.
Lebanon is similar to the province of Isfahan in its needs and number of inhabitants. it will not be difficult for Iran to organise a monthly stock of resources to prevent Iran’s main allies in Lebanon from suffering starvation. If Iran can supply Venezuela across an ocean, supplying Lebanon will be much easier. This will defeat this latest attempt of the US and Israel to curb Hezbollah.
The confrontation between Iran on the one side and the US-Israel on the other had already reached an unprecedented level when the US President took on Israel’s Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu as his consigliere. Following Netanyahu’s advice, he unlawfully withdrew from the “nuclear deal” (JCPOA), assassinated Iranian Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani, announced the US theft of Syrian oil as an excuse to keep US forces in the Levant, imposed sanctions on Lebanese banks including tough restrictions on transfers of foreign currencies, and declared even harsher sanctions on Syria under “Caesar’s Law”. In response Iran downed a $220 million American UAV, bombed Ayn al-Assad, the largest US base in Iraq leaving behind dozens of wounded, challenged US sanctions on Venezuela by sending six ships to the Caribbean and effectively contributed to preventing the partition of Syria and Iraq, to the intense irritation of the US administration and Israel.
The US and Israel have not forgiven the fact that the “Axis of the Resistance” has managed to stockpile large quantities of precision missiles in the Middle East. The dreadful dynamic duo is trying to defeat the Iran’s allies by all available means. It is now Lebanon’s turn.
To simplify the organisation of the flow of Iranian goods, Iran will treat Lebanon not very differently from the province of Isfahan, one of Iran’s 31 provinces. Although Isfahan is ten times bigger (107,018 km2) than Lebanon (10,452 km2) the population numbers are very similar (between 5 and 6 million). Iran’s provision of Lebanon will require four to five ships per month with supplies of food, medicine, medical equipment, fuel, aluminium, steel and other machinery made in Iran. These can be sold to Lebanese companies who have legal authorisation to import goods from abroad. The aim is to sell these goods at an affordable price to the Lebanese population of all walks of life and in local currency, without recourse to US dollars.
medicine. The goal is to give Syria the capacity to stand against the unilateral US “Caesar’s Law” by which Washington proposes to smoke Iran and Hezbollah out of Syria at Israel’s behest. President Trump likely believes that these extreme measures would help his re-election campaign. Iran has promised to support its allies who rejected US hegemony and domination. The US officials have said their objective is no longer to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power – the West and Gulf countries tried for nine years and failed in their destructive attempt – but to force Assad to change his alliances. “Caesars Law” evidently has nothing to do with human rights or accusations of torture, but rather exists to accommodate Israel’s demand that Syria satisfy Tel Aviv’s national security preoccupations.
Although the US Secretary of State has accused Hezbollah of being behind the dire financial situation In Lebanon, US ambassador Dorothy Shea concedes that “decades of corruption and mismanagement of power” are behind the financial crisis in the country. US Assistant Secretary of State David Schenker said “years of corruption and the absence of drastic reform measures” have caused the economic situation in Lebanon. In an interview with local press published in Arabic, Schenker claimed that “Hezbollah customs smuggling is behind Lebanon’s losses.” In fact, Lebanon’s losses are estimated at $110 billion, but yearly customs revenues do not exceed $3 billion per year! Schenker’s accusation looks feeble.
Iran doesn’t feel responsible for Lebanon’s difficulties, nor does its ally, Hezbollah. Since the 1990s, Lebanon has indeed been ruled by a corrupt political group that took mismanagement and robbery of the country’s wealth to an unprecedented level. The Hariri family, father and son, has ruled Lebanon for 15 years and many politicians implicated in corruption are still in power today.
Iran doesn’t want to see its allies struggling and their attention diverted away from Israel; such distraction is the policy goal of Washington and Tel Aviv. Some years ago, the US imposed sanctions on Lebanese individuals, wealthy Shia and banks accused of supporting Hezbollah.
In response to the Lebanese current crisis, Iran is prepared to open a line of credit to Lebanese companies similar to the one it provides Syria, worth one billion dollars.
That may mitigate the present situation and avoid the starvation of the population until the current government finds a way to introduce new cabinet members with expertise in business and financial crisis management. If a reform plan is put on the right track today, Lebanon will need at least 5 years to recover. Meanwhile, Iran can continue renewing its line of credit until the white smoke appears from the White House and a new President, with a new less warmongering administration, is appointed.
In Lebanon, Iran’s allies are organising themselves and studying the steps necessary to overcome the possibility of famine facing the country. Meetings have spawned committees to plan the orders, reception and distribution of goods to respond to the essential needs of the population. Fuel, medicine and food shipments are the priority for Lebanon to avoid a Venezuela-like situation, which has become a real possibility.
Israel and the US are relying on an uprising from the Lebanese population. They expect the Lebanese population to accuse Hezbollah of being responsible for the crisis. This would serve to distract and restrain Iran’s strongest ally. However, Hezbollah has a wide range of choices, including the military option should it be necessary. There will be grave consequences for Israel and the US if they push too hard against that part of Lebanese society that protects and is part of the organisation. Although Hezbollah has not been directly involved in any corruption and mismanagement of any government since it began to participate in power in 2005, the leadership of the group feels directly responsible for the well-being of its people. When Israel destroyed thousands of homes in 2006, Hezbollah, with the direct financial support of Iran, rebuilt many of them.
Today Hezbollah has dozens of gasoline stations, under the name of al-Amana, and pharmacies, called al-Murtada, and other companies authorised and capable of receiving goods and shipments from Iran and sells them at much reduced price even to that part of the public that is not supportive of Hezbollah. If Israel and the US believe they can stop this process, Hezbollah will not hesitate to use military force, imposing a new Rule of Engagement. Bombing targets in Israel may be necessary to ensure the arrival in Lebanon of fuel, foods and medicine.
What the US and Israel have not foreseen is the fact that the provider who feeds and meets the basic needs of the population wins recognition and popular support. This could lead to a change in the electoral map of Lebanon, including the possibility of a modified constitution. The collapse in the value of the local currency may be followed by a whole series of measures, developments neither Israel nor the US foresaw when they chose Lebanon as their next battleground with Iran.
Says the country with a $26 trillion debt tag [and ballooning/counting/expanding].
Thanks for sharing Elijah’s article with us all, Canthama. It’s a little tricky for me to subscribe to his blog as I don’t have paypall – and I don’t intend to open an account there either. I know if I told Elijah this he’d add me as a subscriber anyway at no cost, but I’m reluctant to accept such a gift as I think he deserves all the euros and dollars he can get a hold of and more. I thought I’d just stick to reading his full articles when he emails them to me, as is his habit with me. He doesn’t email me all his articles, but he does indeed send me a handful per month.
That aside, many in Lebanon have been expecting an Iranian ‘Venezuela move’ in aid of Lebanon, especially that Nasrallah also vaguely hinted at such a thing in his last speech.
Fingers crossed, Iranian aid to Lebanon will start arriving soon. And israel and her Leb agents can choke on this till they’re blue in the face!
And btw, a great article by Elijah, I will here add.
Interesting developments in the Lebanon.
From @Sara_Haj
Erdogan’s Sufianism has reached Lebanon
Lebanese intel and security forces arrested Lebanese and Arab nationals who took part in recent attempts to spread chaos and ignite sectarian fights. The arrests revealed the groups are funded & managed by Turk intel in collaboration with Bahaa Rafik Hariri who does the payments. The groups were instructed to cut roads in certain areas and incite sectarianism using 10s of Sunnis from different areas especially the north who carry out orders in turn for money. Lebanese judge has issued an arrest warrant of a new one of their 'leaders' short time ago. What interests does Erdogan have in spreading chaos in Lebanon except for serving the Zionist agenda?
40 Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, and Sudanese nationals have been arrested so far. It should be noted that Saudi and Murican funded media has been feeding the whole plot nonstop. On June 6th, an attempt to create sectarian tension was blocked by Lebanese security despite some media playing its role to feed it. Obnoxious Saudi funded pro Zionist Murica MTV aired a chant by supposedly Shia protesters swearing at Sayyeda Aisha.Last night interior minister revealed those who swore were actually Sunnis not Shia & they aimed at igniting sectarian chaos."
For almost 10 years I have been saying at SyrPer that Erdogan and the apartheid regimes walk side by side in every single thing, one feeding from the other…from selling ISIS oil smuggled from Syria to Tel Aviv at discounted price through Erdogan's family business, to coordinating with al Qaeda and the apartheid regime for offensives inside Syria and even bombings and the list goes on and on…
I recall an intense press bashing from the blogger "PennyForYourThoughts" on my comments referring to Syria, Turkey, kurds and Israel at SyrPer for years, her sole criticism of the Kurdish issue, as Kurds were ever a single entity, was suspicious and superficial, always escaping to comment the crimes of the evil Erdogan and avoiding any link between Erdogan and Israel.
Penny's mask started to fall down at Syrper when openly supported Sibel Edmonds' unprofessional and coward bashing on Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley covers of events on Syria, Sibel Edmonds is a well known pro Erdogan cheer leader, but finally James Corbett went heads on against Sibel, they were partners in the suspicious NewsBud before, and the disruption from this event was catastrophic for Sibel, she lost all the credibility
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2018/03/deconstructing-disgusting-attack-on.html
I mentioned all the above, to show the relationship between Erdogan and Israel is very close, very old, same agenda at the most strategic level, both regimes also uses these social media paid agents to white wash Erdogan's and Israeli crimes while trying to divert attention to other matters, this is why @Sara_Haj comment above is so important, once more confirming the nature of the relationship between Erdogan & Israel…Turkey financing turmoil in the Lebanon to further Israeli agenda against The Lebanon and Hizballah is a desperate late in the game move…. this game is over, MENA knows Erdogan is a zio puppet, he is doomed.
Thanks for the comment and link, Canthama.
First, I find the use of the word “Sufianism’ a little problematic when it comes to describing the Erdo brigade. Sufism is in fact the OPPOSITE of wahabism and muslim-brotherhoodism and salafism etc, and the Erodo man is the Turkish leader of the pernicious muslim brotherhood. Sufism is the ultimate passive islamic sect – in fact so passive that it’s seen by many sunni muslims as a heretical sect, and by some shias as semi-pagan, all due to their whirling dervish dance tradition that’s some 800 years old. Sufis in Turkey are a minority and are tolerated in Turkey because they bring in good tourism. Sufism btw is also popular in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algiers and Senegal.
Regarding Turkey’s interference in Leb politics and regarding them having an agenda: all this is really nothing new. Turkey colonized the Leb for a good 400 years, losing their grip on the Leb back during WW1 when they lost the war. In 1916, the Ottomans were showing signs of war-defeat and the Lebs took advantage and began rebelling against them, aided by the Brits and French. As punishment, the Ottomans unleashed a starvation campaign against the Lebs by blocking ports of entry of goods into the Lebanon, and, this was compounded by a freak lotus invasion that ate up Leb harvests, leading thus to the death-by-starvation of some 300,000 Lebanese, when the Leb population at the time was merely 600,000. Yes, half the population of the Lebanon perished at that time. Needless to say, the Turks remain much hated in the Lebanon, their only supporters are a puny-puny minority in the northern suburbs of the city of Tripoli – ‘bastard sons of vacating Ottomans’ as they’re locally known. The Turks, like the israelis, covet the Lebanon for its natural resources and strategic ports, but the israelis muscle in the Leb is by far bigger than the Turkish one. The Lebs see israel as by far more dangerous to Lebanon than the Turks, due to linked geographical borders. Interesting here to note that despite the 400 years of Ottoman colonization of Lebanon, no one in Lebanon speaks Turkish, whereas 2/3rd of Lebs speak the language of France that colonized Lebanon for only two and a half decades. This just goes to show you how hated the Turks are in the Leb and how the French are viewed as historic saviors of Lebanon from the evil Ottomans.
That aside, the different ‘outsider/foreign’ parties who aim to create a civil war in Leb are ALL coordinated by the US embassy in Beirut, hence the double exposure yesterday of the US ambassador as going beyond her diplomatic mission and into ‘sedition’, and the arrests of paid protestors tasked with creating violence on the streets of Leb. Investigations into the ‘foreign troublemakers’ continues and no doubt we will also see other evil fingerprints there from the uae and qatar as well.
I recall all that Canthama. I've joined you over the years in pointing out that Erdogan and the zionists are tied at the hip. Actions speak volumes, despite contrary rhetoric.
I very much enjoyed reading this article here below.
How Fake Is Roman Antiquity?
Even though the article doesn't touch on the jews' deep falsification of history, one commentator took up the task with this comment below:
The last passage above delves into a weird conspiracy that I've been seeing much of lately in social media: that being that the islamic prophet Mohammad is merely a jewish instrument. Tis true that Mohammad married a jewess, but he also married a christian lady too. His marriages were about tribal consolidations, and although he did praise the 'people of the book' in the Quoran, he did also warn against their evil too.
Yesterday, while the US continued its diplomatic and harsh economic war against the Lebanon, klepto terrorist israel took advantage and suddenly made moves that 'appear' to start up its marine gas exploration right on the border with south Lebanon: a body of water that the Leb (rightfully) claims as its own.
What a fucking theatrical joke!
First, no international energy company, zionist or not, is able to start work in this high-risk area without an explicit and official signature from the Leb gov – mindful here that this controversial body of water is also hotly guarded by Hezbollah Marines.
So, why the sudden big rush, israel?
Ah! Because the terrorist jews are desperate for some kind of 'victory' buoy in a sea of endless defeats. Jews always do this. They always PRETEND at victory when it's clear that non can be had lol! Fucking kids playing at make-believe.
Hezbollah Marines, with smiles on their faces, yesterday watched a bunch of israeli boats zip here and there and everywhere BUT where Hezbollah had previously drawn a red line in the water.
Need I say more?
Yes, one more thing. It appears that international likudists are no longer sure of a Trump election victory, so they are now rushing on with incomplete Trump-sanctioned illegal projects in the hope of gaining anything – any little morsel thing that they can then amplify thru their media into a mountainous victory.
Two more days till annexationdom….
I wonder if Vegas has recently placed odds on israel's longevity? If not, then they should!
Odd and freaky news from the Leb yesterday afternoon:
While ex PM Saad Hariri was visiting a town in eastern Lebanon, a rocket landed very near where he was visiting. This was reported on local Leb TV ONLY ONCE and without giving further details.
The story was then immediately buried.
Some are speculating that it was buried by Saad Hariri himself when it was established that his eldest brother and foe, Bahaa Hariri, was behind the rocket launch.
Baring in mind here that saudi arabia and MbS have dropped support for Saad, and throughout this year they've been supporting his eldest brother Bahaa. House of saud now want Bahaa to represent and lead the Leb sunnis. Never mind that PM Diab, a sunni himself, has snatched away approx half of the Hariri supporters by his mere appointment to the premiership.
Myself, I think it was a botched israel assassination attempt by one of their sleeper cells in the Bakaa – the aim of which is to trigger the all elusive Leb civil war. I say this because their handful of sleeper cells have but basic weapons/rockets, and not that many by all accounts. Israel has not yet managed to supply its sleeper cells or its wakeful ones (Gaegae brigade) with any game-changing weapons, all thanks to Hezb intel and vigilance.
I tellzya, never ever a dull day in the Lebanon!
Take a look at this article’s predictions for post November’s elections:
The Old America Is Dead. Where Do We Go from Here?
I love it that the above article begins with excerpts from the great American writer, John Steinbeck. I urge everyone to read his more obscure book about occupation called ‘The Moon is Down’. Never have I read such an archetypal and simple account of a town people occupied. So powerful, so illuminating, so human.
Accompaniment articles on the theme of 'America The Shredded':
A Country Not Salvageable
Trump Is Losing the White Vote with Jared Kushner’s Agenda
Note: After failing some 37 times to assassinate Saddam, the CIA determined that the only way to bring him down was through his unsavory family. Looks like the same can apply to the Orange Trump.
“A number of Lebanese media outlets broadcast interviews with US Ambassador Dorothy Shea on Sunday, ignoring a judge’s ruling that banned local and foreign media from featuring her statements after she criticised Iran-backed Hezbollah in an interview last week.
Judge Mohammad Mazeh said She had interfered in Lebanese internal affairs and violated the Vienna Convention that gives special privileges and immunity to diplomats.on Saturday that media channels who violate the decision could be closed down for a year and fined $200,000.”
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/06/ambassador-appears-lebanese-tv-denounces-court-media-ban-200628163646096.html
Of course, MSM fires back > Lebanon judge issues ‘unenforceable’ media ban against US ambassador – and uses ‘opportunity’ to further expand attacks against Hezb. Responding to the order against her, Shea told MTV that a senior government official had assured her the court did not have authority to ban her and would take steps to reverse the order.” Natually, not identifying the so called offical. And, of course, futher using opportunity to continue chipping away always telling the Lebanonse people how sorry is the economy and their currency – blaming it on Hezb. Taxi will no doubt confirm the huge majority of Lebanese clearly see through this propaganda attack.
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/lebanon-hezbollah-judge-issues-media-ban-us-ambassador
Hope judge follows-through and economically sanctions that news outlet, and especiallly any local media rebroadcasting that does not forceably label it typical propaganda. If western MSM is able to control western news content then so should Lebanon’s.
Thanks for the link, Mike.
First, the premise of the article is bullshit (Aljazeera is no friend of the Resistance). The judge’s order IS enforceable: by the will and activism of the people, as the article clearly states – and believe me that the supporters of the Hezb, both christian and moslem, will lodge legal complaints en mass against MTV should it broadcast Shea, bearing in mind the judge’s order actually begins today, so let’s see if MTV/Lebanon dares interview and broadcast any more of Shea’s sedition and illegal intervention. And if they do, then they are rich enough to pay the fine and temporary closure of their station will give them more street cred with their MINORITY base, but it will not provide them with new and expanded viewership. And here, let me tell you who MTV/Lebanon is. MTV is owned by the Murr family (Murr means ‘bitter’ in Arabic heh!). They are old allies of israel from back in 1948 and a racist, fascist family who are part of the Gaegae clan. Their station broadcasts nothing but sectarian incitements all fucking day long. Their viewership is limited, as analyzed here.
Hezbollah is NOT silencing its critics at all – the reverse is actually true. Hezbollah believes in freedom of speech (a shia trait) and always responds to its critics through Nasrallah’s speeches where he openly addresses ALL their latest attacks and lies. He takes much time and labor to pars and respond to allegations thrown at the hezb all the time, so if the hezb was really “silencing” critics, why would Nasrallah spend soooo much time addressing their lies and ironically publicizing them?
Dorothy Shea is a lying cunt who came to Beirut straight from her appointment(s) in Tel Aviv – read her work biog here.
Fortunately, Leb patriots who are in opposition to political Hezbollah know Shea to be an instrument of destruction and know that she lies when she puts ALL blame for Leb’s crisis on Hezbollah. They already know America’s hate and anger at Lebanon for having humiliated israel on the battlefield. They already know that the current financial crisis was born out of Trump’s sanctions on the Leb and the US’s control of the Banque Du Liban that distributes and controls the dollar in the Leb. Last autumn’s protests had pretty much everyone on the streets pointing the finger at America’s agents in the Leb’s financial arena. So Shea’s blaming hezbollah is already known as a lie, even to Lebs who are in opposition to Hezbollah’s political agenda. Rabih Tlais, who is quoted at the end of the article was kicked out of the hezb after getting caught organizing a hashish deal with some civilians – he’s a nobody who is choking on sour grapes – and he was used by Hezb’s enemies as a posterboy to falsely illustrate hezb’s heavy hand. And let me tell you here that if the Hezb was truly ‘heavy handed’, Rabih Tlais would already be dead.
Look, internal and extrnal enemies of the Hezb have recently taken up the mantle of falsely calling Diab’s gov a ‘Hezbollah’ government because that’s the ONLY bludgeon they have left at their disposal to punish Diab for NOT cooperating or submitting to US embassy pressure, as indeed Hariri before him had much done.
Summed up: the enemies of Lebanon within are operating on steroids now, trying everything they can to ignite a civil war. It’s NOT gonna happen! The US embassy in Beirut is extremely outraged and furious that Nasrallah in his last speech had warned israel and its US agents with “We will not starve! We will kill you, we will kill you, we WILL kill you!” They remain incensed at such an in-your-face resistance and instead of confronting the Hezb directly and militarily, they have opted to busy them with the threat of civil war. Fact is, the US and israel and their Leb agents are utterly incapable of confronting the Hezb on the battlefield, hence their current attempt at starving the Leb instead.
They will fail at this. Little Lebanon is not alone in this battle. Iran aside, both China and Russia have expressed support for the judge’s order against Dorothy Shea.
LOL!
Big developments regarding the Leb judge Judge Muhammad Mazieh who ordered Leb media to halt publishing incitements for civil war by the US ambassador in the Lebanon.
Today, judge Mazieh was suddenly summoned to a questioning session by a higher up judicial investigative council. He turned up to the session and basically announced his resignation as judge because he was so offended that he was called in by the committee and that his sudden recalling was politically and not judicially motivated. Even lawyers who are against his order say that he broke no law by issuing his order.
It’s a big internal food fight right now over this issue. No doubt the terrorist Dorothy Shea is smirking from ear to ear over this development, and no doubt the American embassy continues to interfere in Leb internal affairs, this time round interfering with Leb’s judicial system. I am trying to collect information on who the head of this investigative committee is and what reason did he give for bringing Judge Mazieh in for questioning in the first place. I will share this info with you when I have it. The Leb foreign ministry meanwhile is saying fuck all about the meeting he had with the cunt Dorothy Shea yesterday, thus creating even more confusion over the case today.
And btw, while the terrorist Shea was in the meeting with the Leb foreign minister yesterday, a protest against her was held outside the foreign ministry with protestors calling for her eviction from Lebanon while others held ugly posters of her and hit it with their shoes lol.
Taxi – unable to locate reliable current and full year 2019 import/export (by country and product) data for Lebanon. (Especially Lebanon-Syria, Lebanon-Iraq, Lebanon-Egypt, Lebanon-China, Lebaon-Turkey). Recommended source? Thanks. Mike.
Wow Mike, that sure is a ‘theses’ question and a half! I’m not sure how to direct you to a source of info that would be in English – you could try googling ‘Lebanese Ministry of Commerce’ records, I suppose, and hope that the site provides English translations. But, I can tell you the following, which is perhaps indicative.
When I first arrived here in the Leb almost a decade ago now, the market place there was full of European, Chinese and Turkish products – hardly any Arab products. At the time and with regards industrial and semi-industrial machinery (which I had to learn about as I had to buy a generator, gardening equipment and household batteries), German and Italian products were very popular and considered superior to Chinese, Taiwanese and south Korean products – euro products were also more expensive and with a longer warranty. Gradually, semi-industrial products from China improved and entered the top tier some five years ago, in competition with Italian and German products, and being cheaper to buy, elbowed much of the German and Italian deals right off the shelves. Yes, Chinese industrial products now are the most popular in the Leb. Turkish products in the Leb are mainly in fashion boutiques and bedding and home furniture. In the past, Leb used to buy wholesale cotton fabrics from Egypt and tailor them in Lebanon for Lebanese taste. This is no longer the case as Leb’s industrial rag-trade now barely exists: it used to be most robust and exported all over the middle east. You’d be hard pressed to find anything ‘Made in Egypt’ on the Leb markets these days, with much ‘Made in Turkey’ crap everywhere. (I personally boycott ALL Turkish products in Leb, and have done so since day one). The only Iraqi product you find in Leb is basically at bakeries who offer ‘Iraqi bread’ (delicious btw!) – it’s made in Lebanon and Iraqi by name only. I’ve not seen any Syrian products on the Leb market except some meds that I long ago purchased for my gardener’s kid when she got sick. To surmise: gradually, euro products have been priced out by Chinese ones, and Turkish products are by far more available than Arab ones. Chinese products are currently top sellers in the Leb.
Thanks much, Taxi – for the on the scene news regarding China products taking over more and more in the Leb. Hopefully that is further incentive for China soon to make major infrastructure investments in Lebanon = jobs and economic support – despite Axis of Evil designs. Also, hopefully there will soon be more meaningful product trade with Syria.
… and the hits keep coming!
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestinian-americans-stage-virtual-walkout-joe-biden-call
Thanks for a great link, Cloak. The video in the article is a powerful and succinct explanation why the Palestinian-Americans are constantly and intentionally being left behind. Their civil rights issue gets boxed in as a ‘muslim’ one by the jews, with barely a pip-squeak able to come out of the box and into the American political arena. I notice also that the video, which is available on youtube, has an ‘unlisted’ mark right under the name of the video. This means that although the video is available to the public, you cannot access it through search engines – oh it’s there alright, but nobody knows it exists, hence the low number of its views on jewtube.
See how the victim’s voice is constantly smothered and silenced at every turn by the jews?
Would the loathsome Jewish Voices for Peace ever stick Amer’s video on their blog? Of course not! Jewish gatekeepers would never make such an honest move. Fuck ’em! Share this video wide, if you can please.
Well, tomorrow is the date set by the klepto jews for their annexation. Much tiswasing over ‘To Annex or Not to Annex’ is going on, and I guess we will have to wait till tomorrow to find out whether the aforementioned “ice-water bucket” will be thrown at Netanyahu’s face.
In the meantime, we can look at this:
4 scenarios for Israel’s annexation of West Bank
An entertaining conundrum for all them israel whores in DC:
Ocasio-Cortez spearheads letter vowing to condition US aid to Israel over annexation
Are the times really a-changing?
Dear readers, I have some sourced local intel that I picked up today to share with you. It is to do with Iran’s two ships carrying aid to the Lebanon; ships that are already in Syria in the Latakia waters. The cargo aid is scheduled to be delivered by a caravan of trucks into Lebanon via the land border in the north of Lebanon. The delivery is expected to arrive in the next several days. And here is where my new intel comes in.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Resistance is expecting israel to disrupt this caravan by aerial bombardment, especially if tel aviv delays its annexation plan (Netanyahu will need to compensate and shut his disappointed base up by striking at Lebanon’s aid caravan instead). And should this caravan-bombing happen, then the Hezb will respond by promptly bombing high value military targets inside of israel. A battle between israel and the hezb will thus ensue in the month of July, and should the ‘battle’ between them last for more than 7 days, then the Hezb will kick open the Golan front and widen the conflict into the ‘big one’: the much anticipated Big War, the War of Liberation of Historic Palestine.
Therefore do not be surprised if a military confrontation between the Hezb and israel erupts this summer, or if this confrontation widens and pulls in other regional players and bolshie colonialists and turns it into the Big One.
Here, we must also consider that the israelis may forego attacking the 1st aid caravan and strike at the 2nd or 3rd etc ones; but my source tells me that israel’s military this past week has been behaving as if preparing for “something new”: tripling their spy drones over both Leb lands and sea and shifting troop movements in an unusual manner, plus really pushing the US embassy in Beirut into fever-pitch incitements to civil war. Remember what Nasrallah warned two weeks ago: “We will not starve! We will kill you, we will kill you, we WILL kill you!” So, if all this recent heightened israeli maneuvers are about remorselessly ‘starving Lebanon’, well, then war it is and war it shall be.
The financial crisis is now severely choking the Lebanon and the streets are on a knife’s edge, especially with the internal opposition to the Hezb going ballistic with fury and recently much emboldened due to US ambassador Dorothy Shea’s incitements that are intended to drive the country into a civil war. The Hezb will not allow for this to happen and will promptly take the fight straight to tel aviv, as indeed Nasrallah had warned in his last speech and the speech before that.
Here’s the thing: the pot is on the brink of boiling point and there is no lever to turn the heat down on it. Only a boiling over can put the flames out. Nothing else will.
I spent this morning buying supplies for the house and pets, as indeed many villagers also did.
Whether a war breaks out this summer or not is completely in israel’s hands. Will it “miscalculate” and bomb the cargo aid that will set off Hezbollah’s military against tel aviv? I guess we will find out sooner than later. Bearing in mind here that Netanyahu is the most politically desperate jew in the universe and Nasrallah has already warned him not to “miscalculate”. Let’s now wait and see what Netanyahu’s mettle is really made of.
Wow… Thanks for the heads up on this 'hot' news Taxi
I personally don't see them daring to bomb the convoys. If they do then that's simply impossible for Hezbollah to ignore and they will have to respond against the fuckers who are trying to starve the Lebanese people. Unless, as you say, they're ready and prepared for the Big One which will inevitably follow
Looks like Gantz is trying to throw a spanner into the annexation vote. But right now nobody's sure if it's going ahead or not. I still believe it'll be delayed because some of the cunts are more acutely aware of the consequences than the other cunts
The next few days are indeed going to be nail bitingly tense
Please stay safe and well! I'm glad to hear you've stocked up with supplies for both the people and animals but am a wee bit worried
Me too, dear Taxi, very very worried!
I'm very scared for the starving of Lebanon ! I lived there during the '82 invasion by the usurper, thieving Israel … as well as the blocade of West Beirut where I was. But this is much worse. There was no powerful Hezb there as yet to present as serious a threat to the evil invaders as there is now !
Please keep well and safe , dear Taxi .
Constant thoughts and prayers going your way
Thanks Bornajoo and Bintbiba.
Yes, the violent invasion of the Leb by the terrorist jews is seared into the minds of those who witnessed it. Some 23.000 people, mostly civilians, perished in terrorist Sharon's summer invasion of Beirut in 1982. But the days of fear are well gone for the brave Lebanese who liberated their land from the poison devil-grip of the jews. They're turned the tables round, Bintbiba. It's the jews who are now scared of the Lebanese.
The 'rules of engagement' that the Hezb has imposed on israel are the following: if israel attacks Hezb military bases, then the Hezb will respond with striking at israeli military locations, and if israel attacks Leb civilians, then the Hezb will send missiles to residential areas in tel aviv. The jews now understand this, so let's see how many jewish civilians the idf is willing to sacrifice in its next military encounter with the Hezb.
I'm not worried. I can hardly wait for the jew shit to be flushed down and be over and done with. The south Lebanon will always be Lebanese and always will be beautiful.
Yikes Taxi! If you believe that war is around the corner, it may be time to return stateside…
Mail me privately if you want me to contact any of your friends here in the US if you should go incommunicado suddenly…
Stateside? That civil-war shithole? Are you kidding me?! LOL no way and no worries, buddy – I'm here to stay and witness the death of the devil himself. I'm going to buy what in Lebanon they call 'phone data', which is 24 hr access to the internet through one's cellphone, so if anything big and boomboom happens and my internet is disconnected, I'll still be able to report on the death of tel aviv to y'all via my phone. The terrorist jews' war-terrorism has already been checked. They have little room to maneuver in the next war. I'm so looking forward to it. My only concern is that one of my rescue dogs is petrified of thunder and fireworks and anything that bangs loud – but I have a stash of dog meds to keep him calm and a giant pack of ear plugs
.
You are a sweet and lovely friend. Thank you. I'll be fine, really. I'm nicely tucked away and I have all the necessary provisions: non-perishables in my pantry and perishables in my organic garden. Let the show begin already!
Reluctantly accepting that.
As for Trump, he is definitely getting re-elected (as if Biden would be better). So, we have four more years of crap coming up – unless our fellow citizens wake up and tear down the Whitehouse.
I’m counting on jewish cowardice before battle, during battle and after battle. If they even dare start a single battle with Hezbollah, that is.
I’m of the mind that the Big War will not be started by the chicken-shit jews, but with the Resistance determining the time and place. But, we’re dealing with unhinged terrorist extremist desperados in tel aviv, so there’s always the chance that they wake up one day feeling irreversibly suicidal.
Another trigger for sudden war is israel fucking around and drilling for gas in south Leb/Hezb waters at what is known as ‘Block 9’. Last Sunday the klepto jews suddenly made much watery commotion in that marine hotspot area, their exploration and navy boats literally coming inches away from the Hezb’s red marine line.
Here’s what I think: no longer able to bet on a Trump victory in the next elections, the evil zealot jews are wanting to gain as much as possible between now and November. Blindly so.
I encourage them to go for it, go for EVERYTHING lol! They will end up with nothing-nothing-nothing more than zero.
Who's afraid of the big bad American jew?
America’s four pillars in the Middle East are crumbling
I’d like to remind readers here that it’s a lie that Obama’s nuke deal with Iran was ‘friendly’, or of his own volition. I’d like to remind you here that it was Iran who literally forced Obama into negotiating the deal. They did it in the following manner: every time Obama added new sanctions, Iran went ahead and incrementally increased its uranium stockpile, and it got to the point eventually where any further uranium increase would indeed be sufficient to produce an Iranian nuke. It was then that Obama was forced to halt his tactic of increasing sanctions and agreed thus to negotiating a deal.
Pfff! LOL! Annexation crickets!

NO ISRAELI WAR ON LEBANON BEFORE THE NEXT US ELECTIONS
Posted on 02/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
There is no doubt that, since Ben Gurion, the Zionist ideology adheres to the principle of superior strength, harassing and seizing opportunities to surprise the enemy, exploiting the opponent’s weaknesses and assessing the enemy’s position before striking. But there are many indications that Israel cannot conduct a war on Lebanon, at least not this summer, and likely not until after the white smoke reveals the identity of the resident at the White House for the next four years.
A tempest in a teapot ensued in Lebanon when Israel announced its third offshore bidding round for oil and natural gas exploration of “Block 72”, previously known as “Alon D”, located along the border with Lebanon in “Block 9” disputed water. President Michel Aoun said the Israeli decision is “a very dangerous matter” and that Lebanon “will not allow the violation of internationally-recognised territorial waters”. Lebanese MP Qassem Hashem said the decision resembles “a declaration of war”.
However, the Israeli announcement does not constitute a breach of the regional water borders that Lebanon claims. The Lebanese condemnation is a reminder to Israel that Lebanon is on alert and shall not allow any encroachment of its maritime borders. Throughout the last decade, the US sent several official envoys to Beirut to push Lebanon towards an indirect dialogue with Israel to draw mutually recognised borders, to no avail.
The geopolitical animosity between Lebanon and Israel had frozen the exploration of “Block 72” for 6 years. The two offshore companies, “Noble Energy” of the US and Israel’s Delek Energy, who had won concessions for oil and gas exploration signed in 2009, found their licence ended in 2016 without having been able to conduct any exploration. The news of the Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz reopening the tender caused a superficial media sensation for several reasons:
First: It is expected that the French company “Total” may soon start exploration in the Lebanese border region, notwithstanding US pressure on the company to avoid drilling in Lebanon. Hence, Israel’s goal is to assert a balance of interests to secure its oil and gas interest in Block 72, and not to provoke Lebanon.
Second: Israel knows very well that the deterrence equation that Hezbollah has imposed is holding and is respected by all parties. Indeed, this deterrence is what led Israel to delay the exploration of “Block 72” for many years to avoid confronting Hezbollah and its precision missiles.
Third: The gas drilling boom is unlikely to benefit Israel significantly.The $7 billion to $9 billion 1,300-mile “EastMed pipeline” connecting Israel, Cyprus and Greece to Europe would supply only 4% of the 40% Russian gas imported to Europe if and when the investors agree to finance the project. Israel can hardly compete with Russia and Norway in the EU energy market. Besides, Russian gas prices are adaptable to any serious speculation or competition, and Turkey is staunchly opposed to the “EastMed” project. The long journey it would take for Israeli gas and supplies to reach the old continent is likely to be uncompetitive and non-operational for years to come.
Fourth: Any Israeli offshore oil platform would be an additional potential target for Hezbollah’s precision missiles and would be added to its bank of objectives in the event of a future war. Hence, the latest Israeli step is motivated more by fear of losing its share in the bordering field than an attempt to take advantage of Lebanese domestic weakness and internal economic-political difficulties.
The “Axis of the Resistance” understands that Israel does not need excuses to start a war, but instead creates a reason after the decision for war has already been taken. If Israel wanted war, it would attack weapons caches in Lebanon, exploiting retaliation from Hezbollah to push the situation towards war.
History gives the best example: in the First Lebanon War in 1982 Israel’s effort to remove the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) led to the emergence of Hezbollah, which represents the most significant threat that Israel has experienced since the usurpation of Palestinian lands in 1947. The second Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006 was another case where Israel failed to achieve its objectives. Since then, Hezbollah has armed itself with precision missiles, and military power superior to that of many armies in the Middle East.
However, the “Axis of the Resistance” knows that Israel is skilful at assessing the situation and evaluating the deteriorating political and economic crisis in Lebanon where people are divided, due to the decades of corruption and mismanagement that has afflicted Lebanon since the 1990s. Moreover, Israel is aware that the Lebanese would be hard-pressed to endure a new devastating war at the present moment of crisis. However, the “Axis of the “Resistance” approaches the current situation differently.
Hezbollah cannot shrink from enforcing its rule of deterrence if Israel is to be made to respect established red lines. Hezbollah can allow no Israeli attacks (such as the suicide drones in a Beirut suburb last year, and the bombing of the Hezbollah car at the Syrian borders) to go unpunished, lest Israel starts targeting more sensitive objectives and violates the rules of engagement. This is what happened in Syria when Damascus did not react to Israeli bombings and failed to establish rules of engagement; this failure permitted Israel to bomb hundreds of targets during the nine years of war in Syria.
Israel is walking on the edge of an abyss. Its policy has always been based on harassment and pre-emptive military initiatives and attacks before its enemies can grow in strength. However, following the failure of many military campaigns, the US-led “soft war” on the “Axis of the Resistance” is the latest attempt by Israel and the US to weaken Hezbollah and Iran.
Israel only wages military wars after a comprehensive study of its enemy and its military capacity to hurt Israel. Tel Aviv needs its staunchest ally, the United States, to support it in any future war. The current crisis in the US will likely prevent the US from dedicating time and support to Israel. Tel Aviv is aware that it is on its own in any future war before the US elections and cannot repeat in Lebanon what it has done in Syria (bombing hundreds of targets without being held unaccountable). Hezbollah has demonstrated its readiness to respond against Israel on many occasions, humiliating and embarrassing the Israeli military and politicians.
History gives the best example: in the First Lebanon War in 1982 Israel’s effort to remove the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) led to the emergence of Hezbollah, which represents the most significant threat that Israel has experienced since the usurpation of Palestinian lands in 1947. The second Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006 was another case where Israel failed to achieve its objectives. Since then, Hezbollah has armed itself with precision missiles, and military power superior to that of many armies in the Middle East.
Israel sees that Hezbollah forces are moving along the borders where its “Radwan Force” – the Special Forces that won a high reputation and warfare experience in the long years of the Syrian and Iraqi war – are deployed in thousands. Hezbollah has also sent signals that Israel understands that the next war will not be limited to Lebanon alone and that crossing the border through the fence will make it possible for Hezbollah to bring the war into the Israeli settlements.
Moreover, due to the continuous gossip and revelations of Israeli leaders to the media, the world is aware that the Israeli army is not ready for a war. It is not only a question of lack of readiness of the domestic front, but it is also the mighty Israeli army that is not prepared to stand up to Hezbollah notwithstanding the multiple military manoeuvres it is conducting to simulate multi-front war.
Finally, Israel cannot rely on the American army stationed in Syria, Iraq and neighbouring countries to join any battle against the “Axis of Resistance”. The possibility of a more massive war expanding the theatre of confrontation to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the US bases in the Gulf countries cannot be discounted. Israel and the US could not control such an expansion. The last thing President Donald Trump would like to face today is the return of US soldiers in coffins because he engaged in a war, not for the benefit of US national security but only to defend Israel and Trump’s adviser, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli army must be ready for a future comprehensive confrontation. Moreover, it is also the responsibility of Hezbollah to keep its special forces in a state of constant readiness for war on the assumption that war may never happen or might happen tomorrow. The two parties understand each other and both keep preparation at the top of their agenda.
Hence, war would only take place if the “Axis of the Resistance” were to relax and not update its advanced military capabilities, renew its bank of objectives and monitor its enemy movements constantly. Everything indicates that the deteriorating Lebanese economic situation is far from inspiring Israel to go for war. Hezbollah – although it is an undivided part of the Lebanese society – is unaffected militarily by the crisis. Nothing can divert its attention from keeping its thumb on the trigger to prevent war."
Thanks for sharing Elijah’s new article, dear Canthama. Fact is that neither the US super-duper military nor the cowardly idf are able to strike at the Lebanon while the Hezb’s missiles hold tel aviv as hostage. Tis why a financial war has been launched against the Leb instead. And indeed, this war, though having collected a substantial measure of traction, will in the end fail. For instance, yesterday, Leb PM Diab and five of his ministers held a long meeting with the Chinese ambassador in Beirut with his Chinese experts in industry and business. After the meeting, Diab released a statement saying that despite all intentional political blockages and attacks on him and his government, he remains determined to carry on investigating Salame (the US banking agent) and his corruption of the national bank of Lebanon: Banque Du Liban. Furthermore, he said that the US has no business telling him what is and what is not good for Lebanon, and talked a fair bit about Chinese-Leb deals that are on the table. I see it like this: Diab is allowing for the Leb to get to the edge of collapse so he can then turn around and say to the Lebs: America is ruining us and therefore we must now turn to China – without him inflaming the streets with US-backed protestors. He is therefore disarming the opposition before going the China way. And let me here also add that much talk in the media is about how “half of Lebanon” is against the Iran aid-cargo and Chinese involvement in Leb finance, but, this is patently false. In fact MOST Lebanese are for these measures, with only the Gaegae and (some sunni) Hariri brigades against it, and they barely represent one-sixth of the population. The opposition media is full of lies and exaggerations because they’re losing more and more with each passing day.
Heh!
The more they lose, the bigger their lies.
Heh heh!
I read a little about Nasrallah's plans to deal with the sanctions and economic downturn. For a normal low tech society this is not a problem. But for advancement and hitech I am not sure how they can go about it since it requires a lot of money for investment and industry. Same problem syria is facing since the terrorists destroyed its industrial equipment.
You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike,,,

Report of Kushner’s waning influence revives Netanyahu’s annexation dream
Thanks for the (beyond the paywall!) link – I accessed it through my 'print' option heh!
Believe you me, there is NO fight between the terrorist kushner and the terrorist Friedman. It's all pure political theater. Every time the jews want to do something BIG and evil, they divide themselves into good-cop and bad-cop, so as to divert attention from the 'tribe' itself being wholesale evil. They always-always want you believe that only 'some' jews are badly-behaved, when in fact, they operate as a tribe when it comes to ALL major decisions and the tribe, as we already know, operates to create evils that benefit only the tribe.
Nah, I'm not buying the 'kushner is the good guy' in this typical jewish food-fight.
And for my reader's convenience, here's a copy-paste version of the linked article:
This is too funny, secret air defenses, where is your data for this?
And Hezbollah beat Israel? When?
In the last conflict, which they started, Israel lost a total of 128 people, 4 tanks were total losses, they had one strike on a naval ship that was easily repaired.
Meanwhile, Lebanon lost about 1,300 civilians, much of this was due to Hezbollah hiding behind women and children, Lebanon lost about 70 troops and Hezbollah over 500.
Hezbollah daily went to the UN crying for a war they started to stop.
If you are going to write this crap, have a clue what you are talking about.
I look forward to you getting your ass handed to you would be Censor.
Dude, your data is so full of holes that is hardly worth to counter…so I will make an exception and mention the zio-nazi control wikipedia on the 2006 war….see whether it says anything close to your nbrs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Lebanon_War
All involved in the Hizballah victory in 2006 understand very well that the apartheid regime losses were way beyond soldiers and tanks, their losses were deeply inside, its army demonstrated cowardice and the usual war crimes & crime against humanity….thousands of illegal settler soldiers had PTSD after 2006, not surprised to see the apartheid regime soldier numbers at all time low in the past 40 years…besides the lower quality is impressive at the moment. The apartheid regime has one key advantage, airforce, but in the next war, this advantage will be neutralized early on…it is game over, the best thing for the settlers is just live Palestine.
Tim,
Hezbollah has beat israel more times than you’ve jacked off to Soros nudies.
But of course you wouldn’t know this because you’re shekeled up to the wazoo and pickled in jewish settler propaganda.
Let me teach you something here about how wars work. Before going to war, each side declares its objectives and whoever is able to achieve their objective wins the war. Victory in war has NOTHING to do with how many innocents you kill and how many buildings you destroy. In the 2006 war, israel failed to achieve ANY of its objectives and the Hezbollah achieved ALL of theirs and then some: like the UNCONDITIONAL release of 427 kidnapped Lebanese civilians held prisoners in israeli jails for decades (here’s a big fat lol at your hairy arse)! Sensing a humiliating military defeat afoot, israel in the last days of war – and just before its forced retreat from the Lebanese borders by Hezbollah – indeed did turn its guns against the unarmed Lebanese civilian population and mass murdered them, thus clocking up more civilian deaths, while Hezbollah avoided the mass murder of terrorist jew civilians occupying Historic Palestine. A disappointing Hezb decision, if you ask me.
I forgive you for being a stupid zionist terrorist moron who hasn’t a clue either about politics, history or warfare.
I thank you for visiting Platosguns just the one time. I say this because you are now blocked from participating due to your amateur understanding and deep-trash brainwash. This is NOT a place for debating with stupid zionist janitors. Platos is for sharing facts and truths for the promotion of justice. This is a blog that supports the victims of jewish terrorism and evil: something you clearly know zero about. Now fuck off and take your regurgitated zio turd pies with you. Your islamophobic, Arabphobic, Palestinephobic mindset is unoriginal and boring. Go do something more interesting like gouging the eyes out of your Ilhan Omar doll with your coward jewy fingers instead.
And if readers out there are interested, our visiting Timothy Benton ‘Ocensor’ biog is here:
Wow a ‘specialist’ in the israel-Palestine conflict? Hahahaha. Yeah kiddo, nice self-appointment. And why stop there? Why not go all the way and crown yourself ‘Master(bator) of the Universe’? You know the label fits you just right and perfect.
And one last thing: I recommend you have your Zanix stash handy for when tel aviv is in smoking rubble and Historic Palestine is liberated. We are literally on the cusp of this magnificent and heartwarming moment.
Tim, you’re so brainwashed and ignorant it’s not funny. Your statement is so ludicrous and inaccurate it could only have been written by an ignoramus or a zionist propagandist. Taxi’s blog is not for arguing with trolls and the woefully uninformed so she has no choice but to block you. I hope you can acquire an education.
You forgot the main thing in this which was Hezbollah fought with their initial 3000 troops and did not even call in reinforcements or even mobilise. Which is incredible when fighting against a state army with an air force and navy.
Israel also dropped millions of cluster munitions all over southern lebanon which is a war crime and still kill children and farmers. Is that your hiding behind women and civilians? The only actual town Hezbollah were in was defended by like 50 troops which the IDF failed to capture and was already cleared of civilians.
And really, no one uses civilians as shields except IDF does use palestinians as human shields as we have clearely seen dozens of pictures to they are not attacked with stones. Even bringing this prophaghanda shows you lack sufficient knowledge on war itself.

Let’s all be clear here: the ONLY reason why the long-promised annexation by the terrorist israelis did not happen is that they’re chickenshit. CHICKENSHIT CHICKENSHIT CHICKENSHIT!!! Fuck the million and one excuses and angles that the jewy media is giving. It comes down to a simple, single reason: CHICKENSHIT!
No, they dare NOT start a war against the Axis of Resistance for ANY reason. But, a war WILL BE imposed on them by the Resistors sooner than later.
Fucking bloodsucking jew terrorists will have the blood drained from face and vein at the twelfth hour!
Looking forward! So looking forward!!!
It's the fourth of fucking July today – whatever! I have no good reason to celebrate ANYTHING American lately. But I do wish all good Americans much sanity and safety in these dire and trying times.
House Military Spending Bill Would Limit Troop Cuts From Europe, Afghanistan. (Continuing proof US politicians fully support PTB objectives forever occupying other nations – even Afghanistan after 20 years destablization, and Germany & Korea 75 years after WWII – none a military treat to US. Whenever Trump announces order to bring troops home, as promised voters in 2016, never happens. Its all about poweer & control. Just follow the money – forever business for MIC and Fincial sector lendors, kickback campaign donations to Congress persons and media, and graft, bribe money for corrupt leaders in nations occupied. A grand national business plan that is now in weakness trend.

Hey y’all – hope you’re all having a super-duper weekend. Some local news from the Leb: from the divine to the ridiculous. Let’s start with the ridiculous, shall we?
A tiny-tiny Leb group calling themselves “Friends of Trump” (I kid you not lol!) suddenly appeared on the scene and gathered this afternoon outside of the American Embassy to show their support to the Orange Ogre and to urge him to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1559, designed to disarm Hezbollah. Yeah they sure got some Leb likudists swanning around the Leb with plenty of dollars stuffed down their streaky underpants right now. Leb elites sunning their buns on the beaches laughed to hear about it. Leb workers drinking coffee in outdoor cafes laughed too. Leb students smoking hashish and shisha choked from chuckling at this local breakingnews. Just about everyone in the Leb laughed – and laughed at the same time. One unified Leb laughter rose from the four corners of the land, right up to the tickled blue ear of the sky. And it’s funny because what is locally known as the “embassy lot” (meaning Leb supporters of the US) are just getting ridiculously pathetic and running thin and panting out of ideas: I mean ‘Friends of Trump’? LOL WTF kinda dodgy name is that?! LOL! It’s really cracking my ribs up something else omg ‘Friends of Trump’ LOL man that is just too hilarious!!! Might as well call themselves ‘Friends of CoronaVirus’ cuz Trump is about as popular and desirable in the Leb as CoronaVirus is! Way to go recruiting and going forth to multiply yea Leb Likudeez! Not even the Leb identitarian students would join them cuz they hate “racist Trump”. Trump’s brand name is piss and shit and madness in this part of the world these days. And btw politically calling yourself ‘Friends of … (fill in dotted line)’ is a new thing in the Leb. They just don’t do the jewy “Friends of…” thang – their political naming is usually, well, not so jolly. Yeah you can be most certain that whenever you see a group calling itself “Friends of…”, you bet your top dollar that a corrosive jew is running it. Anyway, to give credit where credit is due, they sure got a headline out of the stunt. But a headline can never disarm the Hezb. I mean what the fuck are these people thinking? How the heck is Trump going to disarm the Hezb?! How? Just fucking how?! LOL! They kinda remind me of that awful and awfully stupid visitor Tim ‘Ocensor’ Benton. Same moronic, self-deluded world view, doncha think?
Anyway, enough neighing and butting about! Now… to the “divine” news – which unfortunately I’m now too tired to expound upon but will do tomorrow. Succinctly: this “divine” news is supremely thrilling. China! Iraq! Lebanon! Wow how things have suddenly gone into faster gear with the trio traders!
If you recall, two days ago I wrote about a Beirut meeting between Diab and the Chinese ambassador and their respective teams of experts: an important ‘trade and industry’ meeting where both sides met for almost four hours, but said little of it afterwards. But apparently, it was a ‘cementing’ session. Apparently, the Chinese ambassador today released a statement that lists all the projects that his nation has agreed on with the Diab government. Wow! This public display of affection by China to an American satellite (in need) is huge! We now await a statement from Diab… and a response from the cunting Dorothy Shea who’s no doubt pulling her eyebrows out at her ambassadorial shithole office.
And Iraq – woohoo Iraq woohoo – Iraq today sent a ‘trade and industry’ delegation to Beirut and they met with Diab and his ministers and discussed mutual oil/agriculture trade projects. Everyone came of out the meeting smiling. Agreement against the wishes of bastard Empire! Even better, the Iraqi delegation afterwards went to the Chinese embassy and met with the Chinese ambassador and the SAME Chinese team of experts in trade and industry who had attended the Diab meeting two days previous. In other words: the same Chinese team of experts and the Chinese ambassador met with BOTH Iraqi and Lebanese policy movers and shakers in Beirut and inside of three days.
Now THAT is some motherfucking fast geopolitical action going on right there!
This is very encouraging news indeed, China has the power to rebuild Iraq, Syria and support Lebanon all together 1000 times over and over….this is the right trade partner…Russia and Iran can focus in being the military partner….
KSA (no doubt under US and Israel orders) made a huge mistake yesterday, a very bad joke cartoon of Sistani…it fumed Iraq's Government, today several announcements were made by the Iraq Gov to beef up the Iraq PMU, clearly showing the opposite the US and Israel wanted to see in Iraq, the count down to push the US out Iraq will re start soon, the situation may turn into some very complicated diplomatic imbroglio.
My first day-long beach outing this summer – beach club was about half capacity – incredible food – just got back home – don't think I can write anything else just now: too tired from such a beautiful and relaxing day spent here:
All breaking news these past couple of days have been somewhat inconsequential and tit-for-tat between the Axis of Evil and the Axis of Resistance. But here's a brief summation of the bigger headlines that will probably take up more media space this week than they're really worth.
The Natanz/Iran fire that occurred early last Saturday is about the most important news that has occurred but until the Iranians investigate it and publish their findings, it will remain dormant with nothing but speculations here and there, especially from enemy camps.
On the Syria front, Syrian tribal chiefs from what is locally known as the 'Syrian Island' (the large swath of Syrian desert) yesterday released a joint statement, a call to arms really against the US and Turkish troops entrenched in Syria. But we already knew this was coming and now it's official. Only when the natives begin their military ops against the evil occupiers will their cause become consequential news.
On the Iraq front, the political mess remains almost intractable, but corners of this entrapment are becoming more emboldened by a growing alliance with China, and their oil-for-veggies trade deal with Lebanon remains on track, with Chinese approval and US disapproval.
Royal saudis are fighting it out behind the scenes and MbS appears to now have more royal enemies than allies. Everyone waits the death of the cunt king so that this royal war can bust open the palace doors and vengeance ops get activated. Some local experts in saudi affairs are beginning to talk about the coming 'night of a thousand coups'.
Meanwhile, the terrorist israelis are issuing sighs of relief at the 'postponement' of the planned annexation of the West Bank and Jordan Valley – but it's a premature sigh, if you ask me. Delaying the annexation will NOT delay the war as its commencement, thus far, lies in the hands of the Resistors and israel is now busy trying to figure out how to reverse this geopolitical choking of its gnarly throat.
And for what its worth (next to nil), the UN has determined that there was no legitimate justification for America's assassination of General Suleimani.
I hope I'm wrong but this week will not produce any news of significance. I'm sensing a boring news week and have therefore arranged to go camping with friends and dogs for a couple of days, as is the norm for me every July. I'll be taking some of my recently purchased 'war provisions' and going here:
Oh yeah and fuck covid19 and the motherfuckers who released it and those too who keep perpetuating it. I've so over it!
I remember it well ( around the Afka Grotto area) from half a century ago, Dear Taxi.
Simply utterly superbly sublime !!
Enjoy every second and be well and safe !
I actually remembered you by the river even before I read your comment – how about that?! Thank you, dearest Bintbiba for your lovely share.
Taxi, ana ktiir mabsut, astamtae biajazatik. Still in my early stages of learning Arabic, daily…the phonetic version.
Yaaaay bravo Canthama! Arabic is very challenging but very satisfying when conquered. Keep up your studies – it be worth it when you finally travel here to inspect the dead limbs of Empire and israel.
All breaking news these past couple of days have been somewhat inconsequential ..
The lardass presidente put a $5 mil bounty on the head of the venezullian supreme court…
WTF???
I call that stupid regurgitated theater (yanks always put a bounty on their enemies when the CIA assassins can’t get to them). Utterly inconsequential as it does NOT change ANYTHING.
Report: Israel Planted Bomb at Iranian Nuclear Facility. (There is no doubt that Israel has been trying to provoke Iran, or Syria, to respond in a way that would provoke US to respond with military force in Israel’s behalf. Pressure on as time running out before US election. Regarding this report, with its “an anonymous Middle Eastern intelligence official reported” it could be false and just more typical MSM propaganda to provoke. Time will show.

grr, this is a must read article from Tom. Strongly recommend it.
Grrrrreat share – thanks, grr!
Limping towards the infinite precipice: that’s Empire now for you.
Thanks CANTHAMA that is a fantastic read, I was just about to post a link to it about the 25 year deal Iran has concluded with China and the rapidly changing geopolitical makeup in MENA, including arms supplies. The Lebanese need to make their own deals with Russia/China, any deals the Lebanese make with the ‘West’ would not be worth the paper it is written on [calling for Hezbollah to disarm for instance, what a joke] also they would be required to become the slaves of the West.

IRAN PREPARES RETALIATION FOR ISRAELI ACTS OF SABOTAGE
Posted on 10/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
Iran has postponed announcement of those it has concluded were responsible for the sabotage at the Natanz nuclear centrifuge facility and probably other sites. However, high ranking personnel in Tehran say that “investigations have concluded and the latest explosions may well have been related; indications are that Israel, plus another Middle Eastern country, are involved. Iran is studying its suitable and inevitable retaliation”.
According to the source, “this has been confirmed beyond any doubt as an act of sabotage. The explosion at Natanz was destructive but security forces managed to thwart further attacks before the planned actions could succeed. We have carried out several arrests”.
The spokesperson of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee Abul’FazlAmoudi said Iran was investigating all possible scenarios related to the Natanz explosion. Security and intelligence officers are looking carefully into the matter and will release the results of the investigation in due course.
“More advanced centrifuges with maximum performance will be built. The Islamic Republic will retaliate against those responsible, wherever they are in the Middle East, so that they learn not to repeat similar attacks in the future. The nuclear deal with the US and Europe proved useless because the Americans revoked it and the Europeans did nothing to honour their commitment “for fear of Washington’s retaliation”. The West can no longer be considered a viable partner. Iran has decided a strategic way forward, looking East rather than West”, said the source.
The facts: in recent weeks, several explosions occurred in different locations in Iran. An explosion took place at a medical centre north of Tehran causing 19 deaths and 14 wounded. Iran arrested those involved in the explosion that killed mainly medical personnel. A power plant in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahwaz’s al-Zirqan district caught fire last Saturday following an explosion. A chlorine gas leak occurred at a unit of the Karoom petrochemicals plant near the port of Bandar Imam Khomeini in the Persian Gulf injuring dozens. Also, an explosion occurred east of Tehran near the Parchin military and weapons development base caused by a leak in gas storage, as initially reported. “Not all explosions are related to the saboteurs”, said the source.
“We shall not remain silent, because the Rule of Engagement has been violated. That gives Iran the right of retaliation with similar or greater strikes. The sabotage actions were carried out by the Israelis with US approval and the help of a Gulf country. This is a direct threat to Iran’s national security—but we are not in a hurry to retaliate immediately. All options are on the table and we certainly don’t want to support (US President Donald) Trump by giving him the pretext for any retaliation he could benefit from, or by diverting attention from his multiple domestic crises”, said the source.
Iran is present in more than one country and one Middle Eastern platform. It has many options for retaliation against those Tehran considers responsible for one, or for several, acts of sabotage. Iran believes these actions were intended to divert attention from the Natanz explosion that was the main target. Iran will take the case to the International Atomic Energy Agency that has access to Natanz in order to prove that it was an act of sabotage against an officially recognized nuclear site.
According to the high-ranking official, the Iranian-Syrian meeting in Damascus between Major General Mohammad Bagheri and his counterpart General Ali Ayyoub and the agreement signed to strengthen the Syrian air defense system is also a message to Israel for its action in Natanz.
According to officials in Iran, Israel – whose responsibility for the Natanz sabotage Avigdor Lieberman has already avowed – has “directly overseen the attack to slow down Iran’s unchanged path towards peaceful nuclear capability. Moreover, Israel – according to officials – wants Iran to end its support to its allies in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. These unlawful sabotage acts are not new to Iran. Therefore, the road towards nuclear capability will not cease, and support for Iranian allies will obviously increase.”
Israel seems to be trying hard to drag the US into a war situation with Iran because it can’t accept Iran’s growing strength in the Middle East, notwithstanding endless attempts to block Iran’s development during 40 years of sanctions. Israel carried out multiple assassinations against Iranian scientists and high-ranking figures to no avail. Iran has indeed been forced to rely upon itself, build a chain of powerful allies, and find ways to grow independently from the support of the Western countries due to their unfriendly attitude and disregard for signed agreements.
Israel is trying to stimulate the many Gulf countries who are anxious to run into Israel’s arms and establish overt relationships with Israel. These Gulf countries, led by Saudi Arabia, want Israeli support “to break Iran’s back”. That is nothing new; the Israeli-Saudi relationship dates back to the 80s. Bahrein, Qatar, and the Emirates all have established relations with Israel. However, Israel and Saudi Arabia cannot predict the Iranian reaction. Retaliation will come from the Axis of the Resistance. And it will come in an unexpected way."
Precursor of things to come?

Watch US Armored Convoy Retreat As Syrian Army Threatens Fire In Tense Standoff
Thanks, Cloak. Yeah much grass-root native opposition to Empire is occurring on a regular basis in the middle east, but predictably, goes waaaaay under-reported unless big bang-bangs are involved.
Howdy y’all! Got back from a great river camp-out last night and spent all today in catch-up mode for house and pets etc – lovely to be back in south Leb again, I must say.
I haven’t had time to read up on this week’s news yet, but I did want to share a funny piece of news that happened here in the Leb last Wednesday. US General McKenzie (current commander of the United States Central Command) paid a lightning and sudden visit to the Leb on that day and tried to pull off a propaganda stunt that basically fell flat on its face.
The US embassy had organized for him to stop along the airport road (where the old US embassy used to be before it was blown up back in 1983) for a cynical photo-op to commemorate US fallen soldiers in the two infamous Beirut bombings: the embassy bombing of April 1983, and the barracks bombing of October 1983. A sudden and suspicious commemoration in the month of JULY: some three months AFTER the April embassy bombing and some three months BEFORE the October barracks bombing! Well, some Lebs did not like the ‘tone of the timing’ at all and several hundred of them organized a roadblock right where McKenzie was supposed to lay a wreath and give a speech to the press etc. The protestors wouldn’t allow his convoy to drive even past the airport strip road, thus refusing McKenzie and his entourage entry into the capital of Beirut (heh!). The protestors made such an angry ding and the General’s convoy had to be rescued by the Leb army who then personally redirected them out of the airport area through small, industrial side roads. Even better than that, the US skanky ambassador to Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, was forced to cancel her big (shekeled!) party at the embassy for this fake ‘commemoration’. The whole plan collapsed even before the General had left the airport. Obviously the CIA was not expecting Leb protests and roadblocks to be meeting the General at the airport, and clearly they had no appropriate security detailing in place for this, hence EVERYTHING McKenzie was cancelled (heh heh!).
It’s really pathetic and double-offensive when Empire needs to PR itself as the ‘victim’ right in the home and hearth of the actual victim, don’t you think? And let’s remember here why the US embassy was bombed in April 1983 and the US Barracks in Beirut were destroyed in October 1983.
Well, the israeli military was in Beirut occupying it at the time and facing random, unorganized local resistance here and there that was losing them jew-soldiers, and the American and French armies had come to Lebanon on the pretext of being ‘peacekeepers’ in the city, but, really, the French and Americans were both bombing civilian neighborhoods in order to help israel consolidate its occupation of Beirut. Much violence during that time was dealt to the Lebanese civilian population, with the USS New Jersey that was docked off the coast of Beirut lobbing bombs the size of VW Beetle cars at the Shouf Mountain and Beirut suburbs: killing untold numbers of Leb citizens there (a total of 23.000 of mostly civilian deaths were recorded during the occupation of Beirut). Some Lebanese resistors at the time got pissed at the American (and French!) mass murders of civilians and they bombed the fuck out of our embassy and barracks using suicide car and truckbombs – killing scores of CIA agents and soldiers in these two resistance ops.
Needless to say, both the American and French military soon packed up and left the Leb lands, with israel then forced to withdraw out of Beirut city (israelis didn’t want to go it alone – cowards!), heading thus southwards where the invading jews remained on southern Leb soil for another 17 years till Hezbollah evicted them back in year 2000.
With this in mind, wtf was General McKenzie thinking when he agreed to suddenly lay wreaths in Beirut for ‘fallen US soldiers’ in the month of July, when these soldiers are clearly seen by the natives as violent invaders? Who’s bright idea was this in the first place? Hello stuuuupid tel aviv!
Furthermore, yesterday another protest was organized outside of the US embassy, with protestors demanding the US to leave Lebanon alone and stop its economic terrorism on Leb civilians. The Leb army blocked their entry into embassy grounds and after two hours of noisy protesting, the army field-honcho convinced the protestors to just go home, having made their point loud and clear.
I hope US embassy protests become the norm around here.
This is awesome news indeed, the US has to feel it is not welcome in the Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya etc….may it become a regular action by the locals.
Welcome back Taxi.
Hey thanks to everyone who commented in my absence. I will respond to said comments tomorrow. And of course, thanks also to Plato's visitors.
Article adding to Taxi's comments above > Dozens of Lebanese protesters held a raucous anti-U.S. rally outside the fortified American Embassy in Beirut on Friday, denouncing what they said was Washington's interference in Lebanon's affairs. The protesters burned American flags and mock-up dollar bills, calling the U.S. the “mother of terrorism.” ('mocke-up dollar bills', most cool. Mike).
https://www.yahoo.com/news/lebanese-hold-raucous-rally-outside-163111029.html
Thanks, Mike. When they say "dozens", they really mean several hundred. Outside the US embassy, the 'front line' of the protestors were indeed "dozens", but they were backed up by a good 500 protestors who had their backs.
Well helllllow there, Chinagirl:

Very well thought out article by Taxi as usual. The Zionist cancer in Palestine is a western imperialist project intended to divide the Arab world and plunder its resources. It is bound to fail like other insidious ideologies like Nazism, imperialism and Apartheid.
Thanks, Soleimani. Ongoing support for the ‘surviving’ imperialist/Apartheid mindset is what angers me most about the American voter. On the one hand, all self-appointed ‘woke’ Americans are against racism and other forms of despicable prejudices, yet they ALWAYS-ALWAYS vote in the worst motherfuckers whose foreign policies are pickled in the imperialist mindset! WTF?! Don’t they know that the imperialist mindset aims to shackle, exploit and strangle the foreigner overseas AND simultaneously their own working citizens as well? The two go hand in hand for Pete’s sake!
Finally, we are now in the era of overseas natives evicting the imperialists and their native agents who rule them. No, it won’t take long to crush Empire’s elbows and knees. Will Americans follow suit and STOP voting for brazen imperialists and racist?
Well don’t hold your breath. Foreigners, even the dimmest of them, are in fact more ‘woke’ than the freaking self-appointed American Einsteins!
I’m sick to death of the whiny American voter!
Here it goes, Elijah's latest article, It is breathtaking on the news of a new ROE from the The Resistance toward the apartheid regime in occupied Palestina.
"IRAN TO ASSAD: DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE “CAESAR ACT” WHEN YOU HAVE ISRAEL ON YOUR BORDERS
Posted on 12/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
An Iranian military delegation led by Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri met in Syria with President Bashar al-Assad and his Defence Minister Major General Ali Ayyoub to strengthen and enhance military, defensive and security cooperation between the two countries and improve Syria’s missile and defensive competences. However, the visit of high-ranking Iranian officers carries several messages in all directions, to friends, foes, allies and to the international community, inaugurating a new era in which Syria will play a more important role in the Middle East.
It is not new for Iran to deliver surface-to-air and precision surface-to-surface missiles to Syria. Iranian missiles have been distributed to various locations in Syria, and surface-to-air missiles have reached the Tiyas air base, known as T4, in Homs. Israel managed to destroy many of these missiles, even before deployment in its hundreds of attacks on Syria throughout the nine years of war.
What is new from this visit are the many messages sent to all parties concerned: First, the signing of the military agreement is a direct message to Israel that Syria is now
ready to retaliate against any future attack and violation of Syria’s sovereignty. For years, President Assad has refused to open a new front against Israel, for many reasons. The US administration is run by fanatical supporters of Israel. Therefore, the presence of US forces in north-east Syria with their many airports and military bases means that if Syria were to retaliate against Israeli bombing, direct US participation in any Israeli-Syrian conflict could be expected. Moreover, the primary objective of Syria and its allies has always been to liberate its own territory and not to be diverted into fighting Israel, even if Iran encouraged President Assad to retaliate against Israeli attacks. The Syrian army was spread thin over a large geographical area; Israel’s bombings were intended to give the upper hand to the jihadists – Israel’s goal in Syria. Retaliation against Israeli attacks would have put the Syrian army in a weak position with a risk of losing once more the territories already liberated, particularly on the Aleppo-Saraqeb-Idlib front.
The presence of thousands of Turkish troops in the rural area of Idlib, although considered an unacceptable occupation force by the government of Damascus, also represents a guarantee that jihadists, occupying Idlib and its rural area, will not cross the Turkish lines any more. Russia and Iran have forced Turkey to prevent future attacks on the Idlib front; Turkey is now respecting that part of the Astana agreement requiring it to prevent jihadists from crossing the M4 and M5 highways. This has lifted the danger of imminent attack on the strategic city of Aleppo.
Today, President Donald Trump is weaker than ever. He is being attacked both by enemies and by US partners (including Europe and the United Nations) and is facing an uncontrolled pandemic and local uprisings within the US. He is hindered by all these handicaps while facing a new presidential election in a few months. And any US forces’ participation in a Syria-Israeli conflict could result in missiles targetting US military bases in occupied north-east Syria, with devastating consequences for Trump’s electoral campaign.
Secondly, there is no doubt about the precision of Iran’s “Khordad 3” air defence missiles; it is the system responsible for downing the most expensive US drone, “Global Hawk”, in June last year over the Persian Gulf. However, these missiles have yet to be tested against the US-made Israeli F-16s. Moreover, Israel does have the capability of destroying these systems from afar by using its tomahawk precision missiles or by firing from outside Syria’s air space. If the government in Damascus really wants to stand against Israel, it will be necessary to distribute several missile systems to many parts of Syria and many radars to cover the entire territory under Israel’s control. In this case, the Syrian radars could “see” the movement of the Israeli jets before they take off and follow their destination. If Syria decides to stand up to the Israeli attacks, it could shoot down an Israeli jet over Lebanon to impose a new balance of deterrence and its own rule of engagement (ROE). Syria could even bomb with its surface-to-surface missiles many important Israeli military facilities in retaliation for any Israeli attack on the Iranian defence system.
The “Axis of the Resistance” has excelled itself in imposing the ROE on Israel in Lebanon. Since the ‘90s, Hezbollah has imposed respect for Lebanese airspace by Israel, firing over Israeli settlements every time Israeli jets fly over Lebanon. In 2006, Hezbollah imposed new ROEs that were fully respected by Israel. On the rare occasions, Israel tried to break the REO, it was reminded violently, each time, to stick to them.
The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who participated in the Bagheri-Ayyub meeting announced: “the Rules of Engagement are changing”. He meant that there is now “a new Sheriff in town” and that Syria had decided to retaliate to impose a balance on Israel.
Thirdly, President Assad is telling Israel that its claim to have forced Iran out of Syria is false. The Iranian IRGC officers are in Syria to stay; indeed, the relationship is robust enough to confute the wishful thinking of Israeli analysts.
Fourthly, it was unprecedented that Syrian defence Minister Ali Ayyoub should have said to an official delegation and in the presence of the media (he is the commander of all armed forces after the President) that “if the US administration were able to subjugate Syria, Iran and the “Axis of the Resistance”, they would not wait for a moment”. Syria now clearly officially considers itself part of the “Axis of the Resistance”, indicating its strategic choice and telling the world that the Syrian policy moves tactically and strategically in the orbit of the “Axis of the Resistance”, a declared group enemy of Israel and the US. This message is also sent in the direction of Russia. The
The Syrian-Russian relationship is based on full cooperation to fight and defeat terrorism, even though Moscow is not part of the Syrian-Iranian-Hezbollah struggle with Israel and the US. Syria is telling Russia, its ally, that Syrian strategy is inseparable from that of the “Axis of the Resistance”.
However, on many significant issues Russia does also have a strong relationship with the “Axis of the Resistance” on many significant issues. Iran hosted maritime manoeuvres with Russia and China in the Indian Ocean last December, in itself a warning to the US administration to limit its pressure on Iran.
But Iran does not preclude the possibility of a rapprochement with a new US administration; Tehran is not ready to go all the way towards Russia (neither all the way against America in the hope of a better version of this current administration). Indeed, in August 2016 when the Iranian government allowed Russian strategic bombers to use the airport of Hamadan (in the west of Iran) to bomb jihadists in Syria, the Iranian parliament harshly questioned the government decision. It is in the Iranian constitution that the country shall not offer any military base to a superpower or any other country: it is a matter of sovereignty.
Moscow relies on the “Axis of the Resistance” and counts on its support in many areas, but does not share all of its objectives. But when Russia wants to exasperate the US, it delivers sophisticated weapons to Syria and Iran and uses its right of veto at the United Nations against any US-proposed resolution that harms the “Axis of the Resistance”. The Russian attitude changed particularly after President Dmitri Medvedev ‘s permission for NATO to bomb and destroy Libya in 2012.
Iran told President Assad that the “Caesar’s Law” is “far from being a real worry for Syria when it has a jewel on its border, Israel. The presence of the Israelis on your borders allows you to do whatever you want and to impose anything you want.” Iran means that Israel is dependent on the EU-US. Therefore, no sanctions could survive for long if Syria seriously were to threaten Israel with strikes by precision missiles at the next violation of Syrian sovereignty. The presence of Israel therefore can be seen no longer as a curse but as a blessing; the Israeli threat can be transformed into an opportunity to put pressure on the international community.
The Syrian-Iranian meeting was indeed strategic, sending messages in many significant directions. The US starvation strategy imposed on Iran, Syria and Lebanon, the main components of the “Axis of the Resistance”, is helping the population to align with the “Axis of the Resistance” more than ever. All this could not happen without the mistakes of the US administration, its blind support for Israel and the bullying of its partners. This is the dawn of a new, more dynamic Middle East, where – even as part of the US “soft war” – the targets of sanctions become stronger and where the victims now impose their own terms."
Taxi – perhaps you know of this old article, re-published by Russia media > 'The Beast That Has Controlled America for 150 Years – Jewish-Owned Media'.
The writer calls the controller > 'The Establishment', and names the sub-players controlled by the obvious leader – and now even more world-powerful and dangerous with even more control over minds of the masses than ever. However, the Axis of Resistance is now potentiallly more powerful than ever with China taking a more public and leading role. May this hedgemonic 'Establishment' soon be destroyed, but how will the masses then know they have been had but soom enlightened of fact from controlled fiction.

A big fat howdy y’all!
I continue to experience bad internet connectivity despite having replaced my router a couple of weeks ago – yes, a measure of improvement with the new router is evident but it has not really solved the fundamental problem. My location is basically the problem: my farmhouse being surrounded by a thick ring of tens of pine trees and a few giant, leafy eucalyptus trees. Every early summer, I trim new growth on branches that I think are blocking my connectivity to my local internet sub-station. I’ve had tree trimmers over for the past two days (omg the freaking noise of it all has been unbearable!) and still no improvement. But I may now have a permanent solution for this ongoing problem. I have ordered my OWN internet station that connects my system, and only my system, directly with the main internet station in the south whose signal is very powerful, bypassing thus the sub-station I currently use, whose signal is often iffy and weak and overcrowded with pings. The new system will be installed tomorrow morning so hopefully within 24-48 hours I will have a fully functioning internet system issuing from a main station whose signal and power system is monitored 24 hours per day, instead of the sub-station that has zero monitoring and constantly runs out of diesel and battery juice that usually takes a good several hours to redress. The whole personal station will cost $160 to install (one time payment), while my monthly subscription remains the same. I don’t know why I didn’t go this route years ago! Nobody ever told me of this solution – I’ve had an army of engineers visit me to investigate the problem over the years and I was constantly advised to move house and home, or else fell all the surrounding trees as my nearest neighbor who has no tall trees gets perfect internet! Of course these two recommended options were never feasible for me. And now finally, I will get my own station with fluent connectivity phew! So please bare with me for the next couple of days…
Back to the business of geopolitics and the big good-bad news…
Yes a few consequential factors have recently occurred in the war between Iran and the USA/israel, as well as with China and the USA – also in Lebanon with regards to pivoting eastwards. Some headlines on this for y’all:
Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq vows to force US to leave
Evidently, the ghost of Suleimani remains ominous and grows larger by the day, despite israel’s recent multiple ops inside of Iran, targeted at regressing Iran’s nuclear stations in the hope of direct Iranian retaliation that will lead the US into direct military confrontation with the Iran.
How Iran-China deal could alter the Middle East’s balance of power
(I note here how fast China has been moving its chess pieces this summer, after having remained somewhat quiet and static for decades! In fact, DC is spinning dizzy with so much recent Chinese geopolitical challenges being thrown at it every day).
Lebanon looks to China as US, Arabs refuse to help in crisis
Have no doubt about this, dear reader: the Axis of Resistance continues to amass more geopolitical power while israel and Empire keep slipping further down into the void of history.
China is now moving on many fronts like the recent deal with Iran.
Napoleon said in effect that China will rock the world when it wakes up.
Marwa Osman: Economic Plan from Lebanese Resistance
Latest Elijah's article.
WHEN HEZBOLLAH FLAGS UP THE CHINA AND IRAN OPTIONS, THE US TREMBLES
Posted on 15/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
Hastily and under the watchful eye of Israeli and US drones, Hezbollah is storing hundreds of tons of food stock, supplied by Iran, in dozens of improvised warehouses on the Syrian-Lebanese border. This new and unusual step by Hezbollah reflects Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s recent promise to prevent the starvation threat looming for the Lebanese population.
The US-Israel war against the “Axis of the Resistance” continues but with different tools. It is progressing from waging wars with armies on the ground as the US did in Afghanistan in 2001 and in Iraq in 2003, and as Israel did in Lebanon in 2006, to the assassination of key figures in Iraq. And now it is the sanctions war on Iran, Syria and Lebanon and the intimidation of Iraq. Last January, following the US’s unlawful targeted killing of Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani – UN rapporteur Agnes Callamard described it as “an act of war” – President Donald Trump threatened to slap sanctions on Iraq “like they’ve never seen before” if Baghdad were to ask for US troops to withdraw from Mesopotamia. Iran has survived 40 years of continuous and escalating US sanctions, and Syria has just been faced with the unilateral and harsh “Caesar’s Act” sanction: the country has already been under EU-US sanctions for the last nine years.
The dire economic situation and the sharp devaluation of the local currency that led to prices of foodstuffs skyrocketing are pressing the Lebanese government and the quasi-state actor, Hezbollah, to look for solutions distinct from the US dictate and objectives. For this purpose, Sayyed Nasrallah proposed that the government look towards the East, to China and Russia, without necessarily turning its back on the West, unless the US continues its harsh punishment which is hitting the entire Lebanese population.
Sayyed Nasrallah’s suggestion that the government “go East” created a storm in Washington, aware of the growing threat of the colossal Chinese economy and its partners around the globe that are threatening US hegemony. US ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea criticised Lebanon’s overture to China in a move indicating the confusion of the US administration. Sayyed Nasrallah’s blow “below the belt” pushed the US administration off balance. Sayyed Nasrallah proposed turning the country’s compass towards the two countries (China and Iran) declared most despicable by the Trump administration. These countries have the capacity to counteract US actions against Lebanon.
The current US administration is terrified of growing Chinese commercial activities in the Middle East, which have increased 1,700 % across the Middle East from 2012 to 2018. In Iraq, Baghdad and Beijing signed a $20 billion “oil for reconstruction” agreement, mainly in the energy sector, without giving the Chinese companies a monopoly over projects in the country. Iraq is using oil sales to develop its infrastructure rather than seeking foreign loans in US dollars or sharing the revenues of the projects.
In Israel, China competed 92 deals (five reconstruction projects including Ashdod and Haifa ports, light rail and tunnels and 87 investments in agriculture, biotechnology) amounting to $16.9 billion. Secretary Pompeo travelled to Israel specifically to warn Israeli leaders that they must not conclude or continue any deal with China in the high technology and infrastructure domains.
Sayyed Nasrallah’s latest speech – when he hinted that the sanctions would turn most Lebanese to join the “Axis of the Resistance” ready to provide fuel, food and medicine – shocked Washington. The US is now realising for the first time that its “soft war” on the “Axis of the Resistance” is backfiring against its interests and destroying the standing of its self-proclaimed allies in Lebanon. Prime Minister Hassan Diab met with the Chinese ambassador Wang Kejian who promised to “provide Lebanon with the needed assistance.”
Moreover, the governor of the Lebanese Central Bank, a close friend of the US, agreed, in an unexpected move, to inject a little under $2 billion to subsidise food bills as suggested by the government. The price of the US dollar fell from 10,000 L.L. (was 1.500 L.L.) to a few thousand less in a couple of days. Prime Minister Diab had tried to remove Salameh to no avail. He is protected by the US administration and many Lebanese politicians, including Speaker Nabih Berri, one of Hezbollah’s strategic allies, who is pleased to accommodate the US. Salameh, accused of corruption, is far from being a friend of Hezbollah.
Several months ago, in an attempt to call the US to rescue him from the corruption accusation and the determination of PM Diab to remove him, Salameh told the media that he believed Hezbollah is after him: “I worked very hard to put in place a special investigation commission to combat money laundering and terrorist financing …Those (Hezbollah) who suffered from my decisions are now trying to drag me down with accusations of corruption”, the Central Bank governor said.
Lebanon is no doubt under financial strain, yet is not allowed by the US to deal with China, and Iran, or even Syria, the only country on its border. Sayyed Nasrallah suggested that Iran could provide Lebanon with crude oil in exchange for facilities for payment and in local currency to help the country’s fuel crisis and avoid using the precious dollar reserves at the Central Bank. That caused panic in the US administration which is realising that the “Axis of the Resistance” is not sitting idly by and waiting to collapse into Washington’s arms.
With the US blessing, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi called his Lebanese counterpart Hassan Diab to confirm, with great enthusiasm, that Baghdad will send the oil Lebanon needs and accept not to be paid at delivery. Lebanon is no longer forced to immediately dig into the less than $20 billion in its reserves at the Central Bank.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was quick to respond to Sayyed Nasrallah’s offer. He said the US is “trying to prevent Iran from selling crude oil to Hezbollah”. Pompeo meant Lebanon in this case because Iran delivers fuel to Syria, where Hezbollah operates, and the US has no means to stop the delivery, as has been the case for many years.
This is why Lebanon is no longer sliding down the slippery slope. Its descent has slowed significantly and it is recovering some courage and confidence following the complete panic of the population and the markets.
The US has been plotting to break the “Axis of the Resistance” for quite some time. After Iran and Syria, its attention turned towards Lebanon where Secretary Pompeo shockingly announced that the US objective was to prevent emergence of a government in Lebanon that would be a declared enemy of Israel. Pompeo gave no attention to the self-proclaimed US friends in Lebanon, who are suffering as much as most Lebanese. The US has many pawns in the Middle Eastern chess game, but priority goes to Israel, the US’s only “friend”. The US managed to convince a Lebanese Bank to collect and withdraw from the local market over $20 billion in cash to ship abroad and starve the market of foreign currencies, contributing – among other elements and influences – to the devaluation of the Lebanese Lira.
Another contributor to the Lebanese financial crisis was addressed by Alain Bifani, the former director general of the finance ministry who explained that around $6 billion had been smuggled outside Lebanon by bankers. Local media reported that politicians transferred billions of dollars abroad to keep their foreign currency “safe”.
It is useful to remember that a couple of years ago, the US executed a series of steps, before the explosion of the financial crisis in Lebanon last October, which had the effect of blocking any substantial transfers of funds of wealthy immigrants accused of supporting Hezbollah. Since the 1990s, Lebanon has been under political governance by the closest allies of the US, who ruled the country and are today accused, even by the US State Department, of being behind the corruption and mismanagement of the country’s wealth. Every aspect of their “strategy” has been carefully planned and executed.
This economic strangulation is known as the “soft war” because it costs the US and Israel no human losses. Nevertheless, what US planning did not foresee is the reaction of the opposite camp. The “Axis of the Resistance” has been pushed to be more creative, to learn ways to survive in solidarity, and to overcome the difficult challenges posed by the US and Israel.
Iran promised to support its allies in the Middle East (and in the Caribbean) by exporting oil to Venezuela under the watchful but impotent eyes of the US. Whereas the US treats those who believe they are allies as disposable pawns, interested only in the well-being of Israel. Indeed, the US ambassador, in a private meeting with Prime Minister Diab, raised the Israeli request to establish maritime and land borders between Lebanon and Israel, a request the government in Beirut has always turned down. The US is trying to offer temporary solutions to Lebanon to keep it in limbo and dependent on Washington’s mood and blessing, as long as the Lebanese government doesn’t take that real step towards China for alternative energy and infrastructure.
Hezbollah’s military capability has confirmed a robust seat for the organisation in many theatres around the Middle East. Sayyed Nasrallah’s last speech was not aiming to increase his popularity but was a road map and a plan of action preparing his group to cover some of the needs of the population. The US may indeed be thinking of even further sanctions and other ways to counter Hezbollah. The so-called “soft war” is only just beginning, but the “Axis of the Resistance” seems indubitably ready to produce counter-measures."
So I've been seeing quite a few headlines that say that israel is trying hard to drag Iran and the US into a war before the next elections: citing multiple israeli ops inside of Iran in the past month or so as proof. Well, yawn… Of course israel likes to portray itself as 'ready for war with Iran' but it's all freaking hype! The fuckers aren't even ready for a war with Gaza let alone one with Iran. And the whole 'rush to war before Trump exists the WH' is even more stupid as pedo Biden is already in AIPAC's back pocket and will do ANYTHING tel aviv asks of him.
Honestly, I can't think of a more stupid story than the 'israel is ready for war with Iran' one. Don't buy into it! Neither the US or ANY of its gruesome mideast allies are ready for such a war. The timing of the next war is NOT in their hands but in the hands of the Axis of Resistance.
Punch the jewy bluffers in the nose already!
Too many knees of different nationalities are kicking each others' bellies over Libya. More guns, mostly in secret, arrive into the vast middle east war theaters while the MICs of the world light up more cigars. Trump and Biden blend into one giant cracked actor and the world continues to turn blue and bluer. The West, piece by piece, shreds itself with scissors made in tel aviv. China opens more factories while the US closes down more of its own. Russia chuckles. Yemen keeps slapping MbS over and over again. Syria has a little more oxygen to breathe today. Iraq hugs Iran and Iran hugs the Lebanon. Israel, with sweat beads on forehead continues to pretend that it's the almighty among the natives.
This is what I've woken up to this morning.
No point in posting links to every story listed above, but I did enjoy reading the following at dawn:
A pragmatic partnership: Why China and Iran try to collaborate
So…Yalla, Bye (Yalla is the Arabic for 'let's roll')
Plus, I came across this video on Hezbollah made by jewy Krauts – an exercise for you to spot the subtle looped and loopy propaganda:
The king of Saudi Arabia is soooo freaking sick that he had to be admitted to hospital today. Of course his PR team is saying that he’s in hospital for checkups. Well, a meeting with the Iraqi PM Mustafa al-Kadhimi was cancelled because of this hospital admittance so clearly the ‘checkup’ reason is a big fat lie. Let’s hope the vile and evil king perishes overnight and the royal scumbags of the House of Al Saud start lobbing rockets at each others’ gaudy palaces overnight.
So my cousin from Orange County decided to come over to the Leb for a summer visit – she arrived last Friday night. She took a covid19 test back at LAX before boarding and it tested negative. On arrival to Beirut airport, she took another covid19 test and was told that if she is positive, they will let her know by phone. On Saturday morning, we got a call from the Lebanese Health Ministry saying that she has tested positive. She has no symptoms whatsoever – she is apparently an asymptomatic carrier. I'm the only person she's had close-up contact with (hugging). We've since complied with all the required quarantine steps, and tomorrow she will test again as backup. Oooof! So I'm dealing with this situ now and have even less computer time on hand. I'll keep you posted.
I'm pretty sure the Beirut result is faulty. I guess we'll find out soon enough. And NO! I will NOT get sick with covid or shmovid. My immunity is thick, hardcore steel. I am a macrobiotic practitioner. I have not had a single day of sickness for 15 years, and furthermore, I will never have a day of sickness for as long as I live. My body functions will just naturally slow down with old age. That's about it. And in the meantime, I may suffer injury through an accident or something, but sick I will never, ever be. I cracked that nut 15 years ago.
Anyway, despite all this, I will keep my eye on the news and share what is newsworthy with y'all as best as I can.
Hope you're all doing alrighty-right!
Stay strong Taxi, a good health is what it matters. If this one gets to your cousin just make sure that you have nearby either Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin, both have very powerful anti viral effect against covid19…millions in Brazil are now using it in the very early stages (day 1 to 10) of first symptoms, in 2 days your cousin will be fine, there are many dozens of millions of people in Brazil that used them and are fine, both medicines on early stages give the time for one body to react and produce antibocies against it.
Thanks Canthama – good to know how your countryfolk are tackling the infection. My cousin is showing zero symptoms and is convinced that she's only suffering from an acute case of euphoria for finally making it here to the Lebanon

Bummer! But, bear in mind that Covid enters your body through your mouth and nose, so hugging is fine unless you touch your face after that. Hug away, but disinfect your hands after that.
It is possible that your cousin contracted the virus on the flight over from another infected passenger – however, death from Covid is very low, lower than the 'flu. In Marin County, we have had a total of 28 deaths since the beginning of the year – which is a fraction of the deaths from the 'flu. Most of those deaths were people over 70, and even in those cases, Covid was just another problem atop other health issues for the patients.
The reality is that there will never be a vaccine for Covid (well some for propaganda/political purposes). We are all going to get infected, and that is how we will achieve herd immunity.
This is an interesting article:

"Bummer!" That's exactly what my cos keeps saying – typical Cal response lol!
My understanding is that it takes between 2-11 days for covid presence, signs or symptoms to manifest so I'm not sure that she contracted it on the plane over. Plus, no passengers are allowed to board a plane if their airport test results are positive, so it really does sound like mistake's been made somewhere: either at LAX or at Beirut airport. My cousin's case is proof that the tests are not unified globally, ie there is not just one method of testing that all of humanity is adhering to, so we all remain in a 'testing fog'. But, today Russia has announced a breakthrough in covid vaccine, beating China and the West etc at it:
Russian university completes clinical trials of Covid-19 vaccine
Like I said upthread, my cousin is really fine: no symptoms whatsoever – nothing, nada, zilch! Today she tests again and tomorrow we will get the 'second opinion' result. I'm sure she's fine. She's quarantined in my garden on a beach lounger right now, jet-lagged and having local wine and cheese for breakfast
.
I think this is more of a logistical pain in the arse than anything else. Covid shmovid ain't gonna touch your iron-clad system but I hope your cuz will be okay if the test was correct
I just got back to the UK from Portugal. No covid test on the way in or out but I'm now supposed to self isolate at home for 14 days! Yet little bankrupt Lebanon can somehow manage to test all incomers and has handled this crisis in spectacular fashion with very low infection rates and a small amount of deaths. Bravo Lebanon!
Keep well dear Taxi
Thanks for your good wishes, Bornajoo. I'm shocked that the UK is not testing at its airports – wtf?! But then again, the UK and public healthcare is an oxymoron, right?! The UK quarantines house pets on entry but not humans who may be infected with covid or worse. Silly fucker-buggers!
Love ya, Taxi!
Hope your cousin’s still doing well, and please look after yourself.
And bintbiba, Bornajoo, Canthama, Cloak And Dagger, et al., please stay safe too!
Much love right back at ya, dearest ZiojooistanSucks! And thank you for your solidarity and good wishes.
Sending love and solidarity , dearest Taxi, as well as fervent hopes for your and your cousin's safety!
Fingers crossed the Beirut test is faulty!
Thanks habibti. Your sweet words are the covid tonic that everyone needs

HEZBOLLAH, THE SOURCE OF ALL TROUBLES IN LEBANON AND THE MIDDLE EAST.
Posted on 20/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
Hezbollah is the source of all troubles currently besetting the US Empire in the region; it is spoiling most of Washington and Tel Aviv’s strategies and plans for Lebanon and the Middle East. Even amid the harshest economic crisis hitting Lebanon, Hezbollah is still opposing US efforts to bring Lebanon to its knees and subject the country to Israel’s whims. Hezbollah did not defeat the efforts of the US and Israel in a single honest blow, but rather is responsible for the failure of dozens of attempts to implement the US-Israel strategies in the Middle East.
To begin with, Hezbollah is considered the most influential and most loyal ally of Iran, the country that, for 40 years, the US has attempted to break and subject to its power, with no success thus far. Indeed, the US takes into its calculating consideration any possible Hezbollah reaction against its closest ally, Israel, every time the possibility of war against Iran is on the table. Hezbollah thus plays a significant role in disturbing the US and Israel’s efforts to cripple Iran’s capabilities and submit the entire Middle East to a US-style peace deal. The bitterness between Iran and Israel began in 1982 when Tel Aviv invaded Lebanon and Iran helped the Lebanese to liberate their territory. Since then, Hezbollah has been considered the biggest threat to American and Israeli plans in the Middle East.
In Palestine, Hezbollah stands for the right of return of all Palestinian refugees to their homeland, the land of their fathers and ancestors. This stand opposes all Israeli efforts since 1947 when Zionist massacres in Palestinian villages and cities led to the 1948 exodus of Palestinians when the state of Israel was proclaimed “over the bodies of thousands of dead Palestinians”. Moreover, the US for some reason finds it difficult to accept Hezbollah’s support for the Palestinian organisation Hamas, which by defending Gaza is preventing Israel from subjecting the whole of Palestine to its dominance.
Also, Hezbollah stands firmly against the naturalisation of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. This “should have” tipped the power balance in Lebanon disproportionately in favour of the Muslim majority and pushed many of the Christian minority to leave Lebanon. That would have been compatible with the US goal of stripping Lebanon of its religious diversity, driving out Christians and preparing a sectarian war between Sunni and Shia without attracting too much attention from Christians in the West. The West’s goal of driving Christians out of Lebanon was directly stated by France’s President Sarkozy in 2011 when the Maronite patriarch asked him for help against Islamic terrorism funded by the West in the Levant.
Also, Hezbollah stands against the “deal of the century” encouraging the Palestinians. They rely on its support in the likely event of a possible major military confrontation with the Israeli military apparatus. Hezbollah’s position, integral to the “Axis of the Resistance“, is an embarrassment to all those wishing to normalise their relationship with Israel; it frustrates many countries, but especially angers Israel and the US.
In Iraq, Hezbollah spoiled the US’s plan to divide Mesopotamia into three states (Shiistan, Kurdistan and Sunnistan) when the US refused to support the central government in Baghdad against the ISIS occupation of a third of the country. By responding to the call of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Hezbollah and the “Axis of the Resistance” took a strong stand against US wishful thinking backed by inactivity. Moreover, by training Iraqis and developing a strong ideology to counter that of ISIS, Hezbollah contributed to the multiplication of Iraqi groups who stand not only against the US but also against Israel – to the point where the US ambassador in Baghdad revealed that Israel had bombed locations in Iraq as part of its “preventive war” against a possible future threat.
In Syria, Hezbollah is considered the most prominent spoiler of US-Israeli plans to reshape the Middle East. The US administration, along with its Middle Eastern partners, invested tens of billions of dollars to turn Syria (and later Lebanon) into a failed state; they killed, wounded, and terrorised millions, but did not succeed in destroying Syria. Hezbollah invested thousands of men in opposing the US-Israeli plan and in supporting the country to remain unified. Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon declared that he “preferred ISIS (the “Islamic State” group) on its borders” to the secular Syrian state. Yet Hezbollah managed to stymie Israeli intentions. Hezbollah acquired tremendous warfare experience in Syria and used the most sophisticated weapons, armed drones, and adapted rockets to the circumstances of war. All of this is detrimental to any Israeli desire to attack Lebanon in the future, a severe obstacle which threatens to spoil Israel’s well knows expansionist objectives.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah is amassing all-weather, subsonic cruise missiles and precision missiles that can hit any objective in Israel. Hezbollah can hit oil platforms and military ships, it can close harbours and airports and even kill targeted persons with its armed drones. This military capability creates a situation Israel is not used to and a danger to its very existence that Israeli leaders would like to eliminate. However, Israel is no longer in a position to do this: it tried and failed in 2006 at a time when Hezbollah was insignificantly less well-equipped than today.
Indeed, this capability of Hezbollah is preventing the US from imposing its will on the Lebanese government and from forcing the establishment of permanent maritime and land borders to the advantage of Israel. Tel Aviv could profit immensely from taking a chunk of Lebanese waters, expecting thereby to become rich in oil and gas. Hezbollah is standing in the way, forcing the US and Israel to devise all possible means to divert its attention or keep it busy domestically. Hence the current US “soft war“, using economic strangulation to subjugate those rebelling against the US and Israeli strategies in the Middle East. Nevertheless, it is far from clear that the US and Israel can succeed in the sanctions “soft war” where military wars have failed.
The US claims it can and will support Lebanon through its devastating economic crisis provided that Hezbollah stands down and leaves the government. Although Hezbollah is the strongest military force in Lebanon (and the Middle East according to Israel), it is inseparable from the 33% of the Lebanese population (the Shia); it has 13 members in parliament and, along with its Christian and other allies, around 70 MPs (of the parliament’s 128 seats) in a position to take over the government and nominate all ministers. For the US and Israel, Hezbollah’s representation in the cabinet is a scandal to be eliminated.
Hezbollah is asking the cabinet to establish relations with China if the US is not willing to support the Lebanese who are now living in darkness for lack of electricity and basic infrastructure. It is also asking the cabinet to knock on the door of Iran and buy its fuel from Tehran, who is willing to be paid in the local Lebanese Lira that is devaluing daily to the point that inhabitants rush to exchange it for any foreign currency to protect their savings. But even though Hezbollah belongs to the majority and together with its allies gives parliamentary support to the cabinet of Prime Minister Hassan Diab, powerful Lebanese politicians – including Hezbollah allies – are not willing to upset the Americans. They would instead damage the local economy than envisage the purchase and use of Iranian oil.
Also, Hezbollah is asking the current (and previous) government to establish good ties with Syria, the only country with open borders to Lebanon. According to Hezbollah, the normalisation of the relationship will allow cheap exports from Arab countries and the import of fuel from Iraq over land instead of by expensive and time-consuming maritime transport. However, the cabinet – under US pressure – is not prepared to contradict the US’s will (and the unlawful “Caesar Act”) and is avoiding taking steps to restore a full relationship with Syria. Israel and the US prefer that the Lebanese economic crisis deepen rather than ease.
To the US, it is normal that the Lebanese government give no consideration to Hezbollah’s suggestions and that Lebanon lives without electricity, fuel for its generators and transport of goods nationwide. This situation is satisfactory for US-Israel purposes and could increase local discontent to the point of destabilising Lebanon. The ultimate objective is to distract Hezbollah from the borders and create dissension between Hezbollah and its Christian allies – who are, and will remain, pro-western – and allow Israel to have the upper hand even if the whole of Lebanon has to pay the price.
The Lebanese Christians are less than 27% of the entire Lebanese population but still claim 50% of all governmental positions in the country. The Muslims, Shia and Sunni, have not yet asked for the change of the constitution and the Taif Accords. However, this situation of disparity may not last. After the tenure of President Michel Aoun, many Lebanese Christians are expected to return to the arms of the West, away from Hezbollah. The majority of Christians feel less connected to Arab countries and much closer to western societies. The vast majority of the Christian Lebanese are not willing to give up their comfort, nor to confront US’s strangulation policy patiently.
The US and Israel are content to see Hezbollah not standing in the way of the Christians’ religious and political leaders who “regret” that a state of hatred exists between Lebanon and Israel and who believe that “no ideological differences” stand in the way of good relations. The Christians in Lebanon who hold most of the power and are Hezbollah’s political allies have no intention of displeasing the Americans. The Foreign and Justice Ministers have defied Hezbollah’s wishes and are visibly concerned to please the US rather than Hezbollah.
The US is used to dealing with Lebanese politicians who are inured to corruption and have depleted the country’s wealth for over three decades. Hezbollah is campaigning to fight corruption. In fact, after so many years of mismanagement and favouritism among politicians and their families, the US would not welcome a new breed of politicians less compliant to the wishes of the US and its Israeli partner.
From Washington’s point of view, Hezbollah is indeed a “troublemaker” and a source of headaches for the US and Israel. But the efforts of Washington and Tel Aviv to bring about the disintegration of Lebanon show no signs of eliminating Hezbollah and its influence."
Great share, thanks Canthama. We love the Hezb cuz they're so frigging naughty LOL!
Who would have thunk that a small downtrodden group of shia peasants from the south of Lebanon would rise to challenge and ruin Empire's projects in the region and beyond?! I feel nothing but respect and true love for their leadership and fighters. As an American, I've yet to find good reason to praise our military, but with Hezbollah, there is a million and one reason to heap praise upon them. Does that make me unpatriotic? Fuck that shit! I align with truth and justice before I align with flag or bloodline! This is the true progressive's position. The 'Athenian' position, as our friend Gilad Atzmon rightly defines it.
… …and a big fat AMEN to that, dear Taxi! My blood boils that through the decades of turmoil, invasions and so-called “civil war” instigated and financed by the usual culprits to destroy the Middle East for Israel, many of those so-called ‘christian’ lebanese minority were so corrupt and treasonous in favour of I/US !!
May Gilad’s Athens remain the principled Way towards saving the country from the evil strangulation of the Lebanese and Syrian people and their economy by the Israeli- US evil manipulations! May common sense, Truth and Justice prevail for Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and the whole of the ruined Middle East!
So sad.
These passagse here are informationally confused:
There’s only the Gaegae and the christian Falange who do not support the Hezb – even combined, they remain a minority of Leb Christians. They’re the ones who are political allies of saudi arabia and israel and who “regret” the status of war between the Leb and terrorist israel. Plus, the Christian Aoun supporters do not align with the whole of the West but only with France as France had historically rescued them from the Ottomans and secured them in Mount Lebanon during WW1 – they still feel indebted to the French. They loathe America and israel and the rest of the West in general – they do not trust them one bit and they do not have any problem receiving aid from Iran, Russia or China. They will NEVER refuse aid from these countries at the expense of the whole of Lebanon – they are true-blooded patriots. Elijah gets it wrong on this one. And finally, lifestyle-wise, the majority of most christian AND muslim Lebanon prefer a liberal and not a religious lifestyle. And here, ‘liberal’ is usually equated with Western, which to me is a misappropriated label because most Lebs I’ve met, both christian and muslim, are both religious and liberal, ie tolerant.
Angry that a military pact was signed by Tehran and Damascus early last week, terrorist israel, night before last, launched an attack on Damascus that ‘accidentally’ killed one single hezbollah fighter among 6 Syrian soldiers and one Iranian army honcho. I say “accidentally” because the terrorist jew pilots did not know that hezbollah was present at the pre-configured target and AVOIDING the killing of ANY hezbollah has been israel’s strict MO for some 6 years now, so as to avoid a promised retaliation by the Hezb, as indeed had occurred last year with the Avivim incident. So, all yesterday and today, the terrorist israeli military has been shaking in its boots in wait of Hezbollah’s promised retaliation. And retaliate they will. Imminently (my cousin and I hope)!
Yesterday afternoon here in the south of Lebanon, we experienced much aerial noise pollution from so much israeli airforce aggressively zigzagging overhead, looking for something it seemed – it must have gone on for a good one and a half hours. My visiting, quarantined cousin was freaking out, having never heard a fighter jet fly overhead with such menace before – she sweated it out despite my hearty assurance that the israelis are too chickenshit to fire at Lebanon because they’re terrified of what hezbollah would do. It was only when I walked her down the wilderness of my hill and showed her my secret hideaway cave all kitted up with emergency needs and canned foods that she stopped palpitating. Walking back uphill she laughed her fears away and said: “goddammit the jews really are terrorists – they terrorized me and hezbollah stopped them from killing us all!” I explained what had occurred in Damascus the night before and told her that they flew over out of fear and not out of intent to kill and she said: “I ain’t leaving Lebanon till hezbollah smacks the israelis back”.
Today we will get the results of her second covid test. It better be negative otherwise word will spread around the village that an ‘American’ visitor to my house brought over the dreaded germ and villagers will become wary of me by association. Ooof that’s the last thing I want or need!
I will keep y’all posted on the retaliation when it occurs (how exciting!), and also on my cousin’s covid results.
So we got the dreaded call and my cousin’s second covid test results came in ‘negative’ hoooooraaaaaah! But, this has confused the Leb Ministry of Health so they’ve asked her to remain in quarantine for another 48 hours, after which she must take a third and final test – just to be sure. Big sigh of relief here in my house and the family back stateside can now stop calling us every five goddamn minutes!
And btw, as I write this, israeli jets are flying overhead again, but my cousin is too happy about the covid results to care today. Amazing how quickly one gets used to being in a war zone. We’re sitting in the garden eating organic pears we just picked off the tree while the paranoid jew pilots fly their planes overhead.
Russia found a vaccine.. on what I dont know since they have never isolated the virus in the wild so Never proven to exist. Even papaya fruits and goats tested positive. Are you a fruit or related to goats?
Only one who says its real is those related to bill gates bank account.
So the people dying of covid are getting paid by bill gates to die? Get real, man! For sure misinformation on covid is rank and flying all over the place, but the germ fucker exists. I know two acquaintances who’ve already died from it.
I came down with the flu when I was transfered to amsterdam.. In a few hours I had high fever and could barely walk.. I crawled down the holiday inn and asked them to call me a taxi but they said go back to the room and they will send a doctor but the guy was a racist fuck and called and asked what did I want him to do about it.. I was too weak by then to go back down and spent the entire night in the tub. I thought I would die and called my friends and family which I do rarely to say good bye.. I asked my room mate in ca to fedx some advil since I could not buy anything like that.with a prescription. First time I was so unprepared, not even a rain coat and I could not even find a good jacket.. but I muddled through a few days until she flew down to bring me some basic medicine. Took me years to recover enough to walk and decades later I still suffer.. So such things does and can do some serious damage and so can any respiratory illness.
This is someone who walked and drove to the clinic in ca with bronchatis and could barely breathe so I am not some helpless geek.. So I know quite a bit about being sick and how to deal with it. Since I come down twice an year with the cold I never imagined I would get to the point where I cant even stand. so you dont need a gates virus to die.. and the PCR test was not even completed before he was offed.. its an incomplete test of some RNA that is present in many cold virus.. So much bull in this it is hard to figure out.. The death rates in florida are now half what they were in jan.. So it does make you live longer..
https://www.gracevanberkum.com/post/we-are-being-played-please-read
Like I said above, much too much covid bullshit is disseminated globally. And btw, I contracted the ‘Asian flu’ in Florida back in 1987 and also caught ‘walking pneumonia’ in 1999 in Los Angeles and both took at least a good 9 months to fully recover from. Both were physically extremely agonizing experiences. Also, my oldest friend’s wife caught the ‘golfer’s flu’ (Histoplasmosis/deadly fungus) eight years ago after some guy sneezed right into her eyeball at a nightclub in Miami – she died from it some three weeks later.
Point is, Igor, that there are very many spores and germ strains that affect the bronchi and covid appears to be a fast-spreading one.
ok you win, I had 2 relatives and 2 well known coworkers of my cousins die supposedly from it.. But many others also died at the same time.. did not mean any of them died from the supposedly gates virus that no one can isolate. Both Germany and Russia says whats stated by the WHO is bull.. Lots of virus out there that can kill.. Spouse is researching the nappa virus which is far more deadly.. so cya..
Good news, better even because ya'l will get plenty of sun time and walking around without any issues. Enjoy the good company, tks for letting us know the good news Taxi.
Thanks Taxi, for sending out the good news. Another couple of days and the final 'all clear ' will hopefully be given !
You will be able to relax and go in the hills and enjoy hiking in the beautiful Summer of southern Lebanon.
All warm thoughts and good wishes for a grand final outcome of your cousin's worrying trip and first few days in the Levant
All Best to both of you , dearest Taxi .
Another proof that US covid tests are freaking touch-and-go useless: four days ago, another passenger heading from LAX/California to Beirut airport was tested negative at LAX, and as per the Lebanese procedure, the passenger was tested on landing and sent home pending results. Well, the results did come in positive but did so 24 hours later after this passenger had already hugged on many of his family and friends and even went food shopping and money-changing. This passenger is from the village next to mine and so yesterday their village and mine and all other surrounding villages were ordered into lockdown for the next two weeks – some 7 people who've had contact with this person tested positive yesterday and 70 more who've had contact with them are due to be tested today.
Is jewy LAX just giving a blind pass to EVERYONE traveling from LAX to Beirut on purpose?! A pattern sure seems to be forming here.
To be continued…
Yesterday, terrorist israel cancelled its pre scheduled military exercises at the borders with Lebanon for fear of Hezbollah’s anticipated retaliation in the name of Ali Mohsen, its fallen martyr in Syria two days ago.
Heh heh hehhhh!
And they will remain cancelled till the Hezb retaliates for Ali Mohsen’s murder.
And here, I must say that I’m sensing that the hezb may leave the retaliation alone for the time being, all due to the current timing not being most opportune. Probably best to leave the terrorist jews shaking in their boots indefinitely. A retaliation that’s closer in time to the US elections would be a better choice, in my humble estimation. Let the vile, mass-murdering jews lose weight from worry till then. Let them cancel ALL military exercises forevermore.
Today I'm thinking that the selection of Hezbollah's target is absolutely crucial. It must also include a deterrence against the ongoing terrorist attacks on Syria by the jewish air force. This expected Hezb retaliation presents a golden opportunity to hit two birds with one stone: retaliation against israel as well as deterrence to Syria's advantage. I have no doubt that Hezbollah's egghead military strategists are looking for that 'two birds with one stone hit'. I sure hope it exists. Or, that it can be ingeniously created.
As per Elijah's last article, he has a good point that Hizballah has to retaliate or the ROE could collapse, and as you, he think it will be chosen carefully, to mean a proper response and use as maybe a surprise..as if the ROE bar would be raised a bit more…but not to the point for a all out war. Interesting times.
His latest article is on moderation due to size.
Israel remains in a state of pathological panic while it waits for Hezbollah’s retaliation. Yesterday, the US sent two aircraft carriers, one of them a nuclear carrier, as well as a dozen war ships to the Mediterranean just to allay jewish fears of the promised hezbollah strike.
It won’t work. The US can send the whole of its navy to the shores of tel aviv and it won’t work.
Nothing will stop the Hezb from protecting and retaining its deterrence capabilities. They’ve lost way too many lives, both military and civilian, in order to reach their impressive deterrence capabilities and they will NOT just give it up to a weak israel on account of the presence of extra US navy ships in the Mediterranean. And here it’s worth mentioning that should the US military pick on Hezbollah inside of Lebanon, then the Resistance groups in Iraq have promised they will unleash hell onto US bases and soldiers stationed in Iraq. Strategically speaking, the US’s presence in Iraq is worth by faaaaaar more to the US than striking at hezbollah in Lebanon. Their presence in Iraq is already teetering and they cannot afford to rock that boat in the slightest. The US absolutely needs to be in Iraq more than any other mideastern nation. Their presence in Iraq is paramount to their strategic occupation of the middle east. Without Iraq in their pocket, it would be impossible for the US military to remain anywhere in the middle east. Always remember, Iraq is the linchpin.
Thus we all await with bated breath for what the Hezbollah will next do to israel.
Two days ago, israel urged Russia to cool down Hezbollah's hot head over israel's killing of a Hezbollah fighter in Syria, Ali Kamel Mohsen. Russia could not sway the Hezbollah from its intent on retaliation. Yesterday, israel sent a letter to the UN asking it to deliver "an apology" to Hezbollah over Mohsen's murder. Hezbollah responded with a big fat scary silence. And I've got to laugh here to think of the UN telephoning Hezbollah and having a chat with them about 'being nice to israel' lol!
Simultaneously, General Mark Milley, the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made a sudden lightening visit to israel and met with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, alternate premier and Defense Minister Benny Gantz and army chief Aviv Kohavi. But what can the terrorist US army do about it? How can it save the terrorist jewish arse from the spanking it's about to divinely receive? NOTHING! LOL! Mindful here that the Hezb has not released a single statement over the murder of Mohsen. Even when silent, the Hezb absolutely petrifies the terrorist jewish state. So if anyone has any doubt about the continuing weakening of tel aviv, here is your proof that israel's days are fast diminishing and the liberation of Historic Palestine by the combined Axis of Resistance members is not only possible, but is at hand indeed. Anis Nakash, an insider to Hezbollah and Tehran and a stellar analyst of mideast affairs, last month said that the region will be looking completely different by end of 2020, with the US being evicted from the region. He obviously knows of not just a plan, but the timing of a military plan that will change the face of the world as we know it.
My head spins from anticipation.
While anxiously waiting for a Hezb smackdown, this is what terrorist israelis are thinking – and fearing – and may all their frigging fears come true:
Iranian Hezbollah Poised for Large-Scale Attack on Israel, Says Former IDF Officer
Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if I woke up tomorrow morning to a Galilee liberated by the Hezbollah. My head spins with joy at such a possible ‘retaliation’ against israeli terrorism and crimes.
The terrorist jews of israel, unable to contain their terror of Hezbollah’s retaliation, are today sending incendiary drones to the Leb borders and starting fires in summer-dry hilly terrains using jew smoke-bombs: all in the hope that the Hezb will respond sooner than later and be done with their retaliation. Here where I am in the innards of the hills of south Lebanon, we are experiencing much-too-much israeli aerial activity overhead. The jew fuckers can’t do shit with their super-duper airforce that you and I have paid for with our tax dollars – they can fly over till they’re blue in the frigging face and they will NOT dare do more than just fly over the Lebanon. I call this an undeniable Hezbollah super-duper deterrence against the terrorist jewish regime. Man, I’m a-having a super-duper day, and you should too! The era of israeli supremacist bolshie-ism is OVER! Actually, it’s been over since 2006, except that now, the lying, deceitful, mass-murdering vile jews can no longer hide it! Nasrallah called them “weaker than a spider’s web”. No truer words about israel were ever uttered before or since.
Hey y'all. If anyone has access to Elijah Magnier's latest article titled: 'How Hezbollah will hit Israel: Is general war an option?', then please do share it with us non-subscribers. Many thanks.
Here it goes Taxi. Sorry, have been late on emails lately.
“HOW HEZBOLLAH WILL HIT ISRAEL: IS GENERAL WAR AN OPTION?
Posted on 23/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
“I warn Hezbollah: don’t disturb the calm on the borders with Lebanon”, said the Israeli spy Chief Yossi Cohen at a high-tension moment between Israel and Hezbollah. This statement was provoked by the Israeli violation of Syrian sovereignty and its bombing of Damascus airport, where Hezbollah announced that one of its militants had been killed. The Israeli media are mainly concerned, not if Hezbollah will hit back, rather when and how– and whether the hit would lead to a general war.
The Israeli military command has moved the Golani brigade thirteen infantry to the command of the Galilea division (in the northern command for the front with Lebanon) as part of the measures to counter Hezbollah’s possible retaliation along the Lebanese border. However, in 2006 (when Israel was expecting similar action) these same measures helped very little: Hezbollah attacked and was able to abduct a number of Israeli soldiers.
There is no doubt that Israel needs to take all defensive measures, fearing that Hezbollah might cross the borders: recent events have shown this fear is justified. Indeed, Israel certainly believes the Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah when he warns Israel, as he did in his latest speech, against killing any Hezbollah member in Lebanon or Syria. “We shall hold Israel responsible for any killing, in Syria or Lebanon, of any Hezbollah commander or member and we shall retain our right to retaliate in any location or at any time and by any adequate way we see fit”, said Sayyed Nasrallah.
Contrary to what Israeli veteran and military correspondent Alon Bon David believes- that Hezbollah could respond by cutting the fence and not necessarily by the use of force (and that Lebanon is crumbling, therefore Nasrallah will be very careful not to take any step that could drag Lebanon into a violent confrontation with Israel!) – his analysis misses an important element. Hezbollah has committed publicly to respond in front of its own society (that is part of the organisation) and before Israeli society. This commitment involves imposing a policy of deterrence without necessarily pushing Israel to lose control. Hitting a target causing several deaths would force Israel to retaliate in a disproportionate manner, and Hezbollah to answer. This is indeed how wars usually start.
“The Hezbollah retaliation is no doubt coming” – said a source within the Axis of the Resistance – “because the deterrence needs to be implemented by force. Not responding would encourage Israel to hit again in Lebanon and Syria. The forthcoming retaliation serves to force Israel to think twice before hitting any target in the future”.
Analysts linked the Israeli hit on Damascus airport with the Iranian-Syrian meeting this month between the Iranian Brigadier General Mohammad Bagheri and his Syrian counterpart Ali Ayyub, where Iran announced its intention to deliver the Iranian made Khordad 3 missile system. However, this theory is a weak and incomplete explanation: Iran has been delivering Syrian missiles in huge quantities since the years of war began, and particularly during the last two years. Israeli Minister Naftali Bennet has said “for every five shipments we hit one”, confirming the incapacity of Israel to stop every missile shipment from reaching its destination. Actually, the Bagheri-Ayyub meeting aimed to send a direct message to Israel that Syria is now ready to retaliate and that violations of Syrian sovereignty won’t go unpunished! Moreover, as quoted in a previous article, in many military barracks Iranian forces have been replaced by Hezbollah, sending a strong warning to Israel to avoid hitting further objectives in Syria—hence Sayyed Nasrallah’s latest warning.
Hezbollah’s leader doesn’t necessarily need to state his intention to hit Israel and send a warning that he has already sent. Hezbollah is studying the military response possibilities carefully, disregarding the financial crisis in Lebanon whilst imposing its non-negotiable “iron fist of deterrence.”
According to the “Axis of the Resistance”, there are thousands of special operation forces along the borders with Lebanon to meet any possibility of war with Israel, a possibility that can never be disregarded notwithstanding the domestic crisis situation in the country. But Lebanon is not alone in its internal crisis: in Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been asked by protestors to stand down, for his incapacity to deal with the consequences of the Coronavirus and for the sharp economic situation hitting the Israelis. Moreover, Coronavirus is spreading among the Israeli army which analysts believe is no longer capable of engaging in a war with Hezbollah and ensuring victory.
Israeli generals shared their analysis earlier this year confirming that Israel is no longer in a position to declare war on Hezbollah and win. Such a war would push Israel back dozens of years due to the inevitable level of destruction, together with results both unexpected and unforeseen. Israel has lost the preventive hit advantage that its leaders have adopted since 1948, and it has failed to impose its own rules and deterrence.
Hezbollah always considers the possibility of war and prepares its forces as if war could break out tomorrow. However, neither Hezbollah nor Israel wants to see a tit-for-tat knee-jerk response that moves everything towards a larger war. Israel needs to accept the hit, and understand that flying over Syria is no longer a holiday flight- and that killing Hezbollah militants will not go unpunished. In the old days, Israel used to set the rules of engagement and the direction of the game: those days are over.”
Many thanks, dear Canthama, for sharing Elijah’s new article – and what a super great article it is – made me happy to read it because all its points are true.
And this excerpt here:
Those who are interested in how the Hezbollah works should know that the Hezb’s military arm is completely detached from the Hezb’s political arm. All military decisions are not discussed with or get approval from the political arm. The Hezb’s military arm is independent and completely separated from everything else the Hezb does, be it political, social or religious – the Hezb’s military arm concerns itself only and ever with its own existence and advancement. Everything it strategizes is focused on pure military considerations. Nothing else matters to the Hezb’s military arm.
It is unfettered and unrestricted. A free bird. A mighty eagle.
Shitting in its army-issued diapers while waiting for the Hezb’s retaliation, little terrorist israel couldn’t take it anymore and called on big terrorist US to send a thug message to the Hezb and the Axis of Resistance. In pure aerial mafia fashion, the US sent two military fighter jets to bully and terrorize an Iranian civilian plane over Syrian skies that was headed to Beirut airport. The sky-bullies suddenly appeared and sandwiched the civilian plane dangerously tight and were it not for the Iranian pilot’s quick wit and expertise, the plane would have most certainly crashed.
So, in pure talmudic mafia fashion, the US and israel sent a message to the Hezb and the rest of the Axis of Resistance that says: ‘you retaliate against our military and we will kill your civilians’.
Way to go Trumpstein! Obviously the ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign isn’t working as expected and time is running out (November 3rd) and desperate times need desperate measures.
The deterrence battle is on baby! Let’s see who blinks first.
And let’s hope it opens the doors of hell to the motherfucking psycho invaders!
Presstv mistook US jets for israeli ones. But really: same difference. Both are terrorists and both are Iranphobes.
Soros is one vile jew!

And off to war with China we go. This will not end well!

Thanks Cloak. Since December 26, 1991, the date of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US has been the world’s sole superpower. But them days of macho, Romanesque glory are over, yet the US remains in denial of this fact. There will be war(s) with China unless the US gets real and works to equitably ‘share’ reign over the world. Otherwise, America and the world at large will be the loser.
I’m reminded here of what Hilary Clinton said a few years ago: “The Sea of Japan belongs to us, we discovered it”. LOL this is the very stupid-arrogant mindset that will lead us to what can only be called ‘the war of humiliation’ with China. Nukes aside, China has supersonic weapons we don’t possess and has like a billion more Chinese people than there are Americans, not forgetting it currently has by far more good-will allies than the US does. Aside from the colonialist West who are currently our ‘reluctant’ allies, the US can count on israel and saudi arabia as allies. Nice bunch of motley hasbeens we can all rely on, right? LOL are we in shit-hole trouble or what?! If a broken middle east can kick us out of their region, and it can and soon will, what do you think a robust and mighty China can do to us in the far east? Let me tell you this, dear American compatriots, until a presidential candidate stands up and announces a foreign policy of ‘PEACE WITH THE WHOLE WORLD’ instead of war against the world, we are all doomed to be nothing but fodder for our jewy MIC. Yeah go ahead and go to work and pay your fucking taxes today – dollars that will be used to wipe you out in the future. This IS all you have to look forward to – nothing more and nothing less.
Only the breakup of the US, or the rise of a new PEACE party that shatters the 2-party paradigm we’re stuck in can save us from veritable regression and self-destruction. Yeah, we still have choices. Remote as they may be, we still have choices. The optimist will see this as the only good news in town.
I hope that the optimist in you is right, Taxi. Meanwhile, here is another piece of news that rolled past my desk:
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202007261079987358-israeli-military-drone-crashes-in-lebanon/
Israeli Military Drone Crashes in Lebanon
The Russians say that the US is not agreement capable.
The US Empire has brought home chaos into itself. It is not agreement capable even within itself.
I agree that a strong peace movement is all that can save the US but the strangle hold of US elites has destroyed any possibility of a peace movement. There is almost no progressive left in the US, just an inauthentic left in the DNC. The paleoconservative right was driven out of public life and replaced by neocons.
There is a Grand Canyon sized gulf between the rich and powerful elites and the people they plow and plunder with their turbo charged capitalist neoliberal economics. The elites have an iron grip on all major narratives in the MSM which the American people do not have the ability to think outside of. Their idea of thinking is to fear and hate – the elites love it.
The US is on its way down. It will lash out causing a lot of suffering but I no longer have any doubt that the US can avoid an appointment with its end of Empire.
Thanks Cloak and Arius. To be honest, I don't feel any optimism whatsoever with regards conditions inside the US, regardless of who wins the next election. We are on an unstoppable downward spiral. The two-party paradigm architects would NEVER allow for a peace party to take center stage. Both sides of the isle benefit from the systematic corruption of our political system and neither wants it changed and they have all the moneyed power and bigger and more guns than the whole of the civilian population combined.
Should suddenly a 'peace' candidate emerge and their popularity appears to be increasing, they will put a bullet between his brows and probably kill his family too. I regret to say that the situation is helpless and nothing can save America from its current folly and eventual utter ruin.
You have American blackmailer jews and their israeli cohorts to thank for this irreversible and depressing state of affairs. All their goy agents in DC and media and intelligence bureaus deserve their share of blame in the destruction of America as well. This is why I advise all good Americans to boycott the political arena altogether. Participating in the 2-party paradigm will change absolutely nothing, but only enables the dirty-dark game against the American people. At least boycotting the general elections keeps one's conscience clear and clean.
Voting locally and outside the 2-party paradism, however, is by far more effective and necessary.
Sadly, the great Peter Green, originator of the band Fleetwood Mac and one of my all time favorite blues guitarist-singer-songwriters, whom BB King described as "the only one who gave me the cold sweats', has died: peacefully in his sleep. R.I.P. dearest beloved Peter.
For his great heart forever bursting with love and tenderness, and in the name of his soulful memory…

And naturally, one old song from Peter is never enough:
RIP. He was a favorite of mine in my youth. Thanks for the nostalgia, Taxi.

IRAN-RUSSIA-CHINA: A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE IS BORN WHILE THE US LOSES GROUND AND ALLIES
Posted on 26/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
In 2005 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad began “looking East” to consolidate Iran’s relationship with Russia and China rather than with Europe and the US. He shared the belief of the Rahbar, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, that the West could not be trusted. In 2013, when Sheikh Hassan Rouhani came to power, the Leader of the Revolution did not reject his request to try and break through the “nuclear negotiation” with the Americans. “Go and try but know that if you give the West a finger, it will ask for the entire arm. They are untrustworthy”. Indeed, in 2018, President Donald Trump unlawfully and unilaterally revoked the 2015-signed “nuclear deal”, known as the JCPOA. Moreover, Trump exerted the harshest economic and commercial sanctions on Iran to attempt to break the country’s back and force it to submit. Two years later, in 2020, ties with the West are at their lowest level ever. Iran has accordingly changed its tactical relationship with Russia and China to a deeply- rooted strategic relationship with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of deals now signed for periods of 20 and 25 years.
Following the failure of the US “maximum pressure” on the “Islamic Republic”, Iran is holding firm under the leadership of Sayyed Ali Khamenei, excluding the possibility of contacting President Donald Trump, whether it is to re-negotiate the nuclear deal, offer any concessions, or discuss its missile programs. It is steadily developing its non-military nuclear programme notwithstanding the Israeli sabotage of its Natanz nuclear facility. Moreover, Iran has signed a $400 billions deal with China, without thereby precluding the possibility to sit around the table with a US president when President Trump leaves office in a few months or years. Also, Iran is preparing a new and more robust rapprochement and strategic collaboration with Russia, greater than ever, to create a united front including all countries under US sanctions, united together against Washington.
Iran still has frozen assets of dozens of billions of dollars in the US and, at a certain point, it needs to negotiate their recovery. But Iran has waited for many years to recover its money and has the patience to wait for a more congenial interlocutor. It won’t talk to this current US administration. Europe seems to be the largest damaged party in all of this bras-de-fer. Iran would have preferred to maintain a robust relationship with the old continent, had its leaders showed any independence from US hegemony and influence. Iran can now no longer expect anything from Europe, the US’s closest ally. This also contributed to Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s strategic decision, allowed for by the constitution article 176, to move Iran decisively towards the East and away from the West.
Iranian foreign policy is neither decided nor engineered by Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif, nor by his President Hassan Rouhani. Indeed, when Foreign Minister Zarif stood in parliament to explain his policy, he clearly stated that “no foreign policy decision has been taken without coordination with the (assassinated) Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani”, who was the “leader of the Axis of the Resistance” and Sayyed Khamenei’s messenger.
The 2015 JCPOA deal had boosted President Rouhani and Minister Zarif’s stature nationwide. For a couple of years, it looked like Sayyed Khamenei’s hostile position towards the West was exaggerated. However, President Trump administrated the coup de grâce to Rouhani and Zarif position, giving the upper hand to the anti-US current in Iran which now prevails over the pragmatists.
According to decision-makers in Tehran, Iran is “not far from the anti-Trump camp and has decided to avoid any step that could support Trump’s election for a second term. Therefore, there will be no negotiation with this administration. The possibility that even a new administration may not stand by its word to once more honour the JCPOA is also not to be excluded.”
Meanwhile, Iran has responded to the US “maximum pressure” and to the US assassination of its commander Sardar Soleimani by daring to bomb a US military base. That was not only the first direct confrontation the US was faced with against its military barracks by a state actor but was also an impetus for other countries to challenge the US. China has since followed the Iranian example and changed its attitude towards the US, becoming more confrontational than ever before.
Moreover, Iran is finding other ways to reroute its oil exports which avoid the Straits of Hormuz. The US is likely – if President Trump is re-elected – to shut down on the 20% flow of the world energy supply that passes through this maritime bottleneck. A military confrontation between Iran and the US is now no longer a remote possibility. A potential war or confrontation in the Strait of Hormuz would prevent Iran from exporting its oil. For this reason, Iran is planning its future import-export activities without recourse to the Straits of Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab Straits, the Suez Canal or the Straits of Gibraltar. It is turning towards India, Russia and China through the window of the Indian Ocean.
Iran has completed 40% of the Goureh-Bandar-e-Jask route, building a 1,000-km pipeline costing up to $1.15 Billion to bring 1 million b/d of oil from the southern Bushehr province to the Sea of Oman coast. The aim is also to prepare for war, if imposed, by reducing the cost of transport, and it also represents a strategic decision to turn towards the East. Iran is not alone with this concern: Saudi Arabia rehabilitated the 1,200-km-long Muajjiz or Yanbu south oil terminal that crosses the kingdom from the east (nearby the Straits of Hormuz) to the West (near the Red Sea) with a capacity of 3 million b/d (also to avoid the Straits of Hormuz). The Emirates followed suit by building a 370-km pipeline running from Habshan (Abu Dhabi) to the al-Fujairah export terminal on the Gulf of Oman. Moreover, Baghdad approved a $2.25 billion crude oil pipeline from Basra to the Jordanian Red Sea of Aqaba. The first phase stretches 700 km from Rumaila oil field (the biggest in Iraq) to Haditha.
“We are thinking about our friends and neighbours who lack the possibility of avoiding the Strait of Hormuz. This is why the possibility of closing down the maritime passage being closed down should be carefully evaluated. Iran is considering all other options, in case of a US aggression or hostility and the necessity for us to strike back”, said the Iranian source.
Iran is trying to change the US threat into an opportunity in its favour. Officials in Tehran believe the US will increase its sanctions as long as President Trump is in power.
“For the last two years, Europe offered words but no actions sufficient to honour the JCPOA. The European countries did not dare to stand against the unlawful US decision and prevented their banks and companies from respecting already signed contracts with Iran. European leaders have the interests of Israel in mind (after those of the US) above all others, and are unreliable partners. China and Russia are acting independently from the US unilateral sanctions on Iran and other countries are also joining in. The Iranian choice is very simple for us and Sayyed Ali Khamenei has taken a strategic choice which all key decision-makers support. We can’t wait for the next US President, for the day Trump leaves office. We have a clear objective and have the option to look into the US-EU choice once it is serious enough. However, both the US and the EU will no longer be Iran’s first choice of business”, said the Iranian decision-maker. China and Russia are not the only two countries who rejected the US unilateral sanctions. Turkey, India and Pakistan have all refused to cease their commercial and energy relationship with Iran.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Zarif made one of his most important visits to Moscow, a “tested partner in Syria and a real supporter at the United Nations at the most needed time when the US has lost its balance”, said the source. After the deal with China, a comprehensive deal with Russia is on its way to pave the road for Iran to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as a member and no longer merely as an observer. This will involve establishing a very long -term partnership on all levels, including the military cooperation with another long-term deal to sign in the near future.
These are exceptional deals with superpower countries. It is unusual for Iran to accept the terms imposed by dealing with such powerful countries; Iran is treading the minefield of article 3 of its constitution. New alliances are emerging, between countries united and strengthened by the imposition of US sanctions imposed on all of them. Meanwhile, the US is losing more ground and more allies."
Thanks Canthama for your excellent share. Really grateful to you and to your consistently generous contributions
Indeed, the new "club" that Russian, China and Iran formed this past week is HUGE news that will have worrisome consequences on Empire therefore will affect the region and the whole world at large. A logical partnership to counter the madness and economic violence of Empire was very much needed and the trio of eastern nations – Russia, China and Iran – did positively step up to the opportune plate. From here on, US sanctions on these nations will make no more than a dent in their grand industrial projects instead of collapsing them. The trio will therefore continue advancing while Empire slides further down into a pit of its own making. Furthermore, the forming of this "club" makes Iran even more untouchable by the vile israelis and saudis. Nothing but good for the Levant and the whole world will come out of this new partnership. I applaud Russia, China and Iran, and of course, I also applaud Elijah Magnier for keeping his smart finger on the pulse of every important corner in the world.
Bernard Levy, that vile and evil jew terrorist working on destroying ALL Arab nations on behalf of israel, arrived to Libya yesterday to create more Arab deaths but only for his vehicular convoy to be chased out by Resistors' hail of bullets. Resistors all over the middle east hotspots are now active against ANYTHING that stinks of jew meddling and colonialism. The motherfucker chickenshit Levy left Libya shortly after the attack on the same day.
Most unfortunate that non of the bullets hit him square in the brain.
I saw footage of the bulleted attack on Bernard's car on Almayadeen TV but can't find it (yet) on the net to share with you.
Uproar in Libya as French writer Bernard-Henri Levy visits
And btw, the motherfucker is no philosopher, having NEVER provided ANY new insights or questions into the human condition. He is no independent writer either but a shekeled agent of the synagogue of satan. Fuck him! I wish him a horrible death and his remains buried in the darkest pits of history.
Some great linked articles from Xymphora yesterday, here:
Thanks!
And here:
Slipping Power
RETALIATION!
Hezbollah just now sent a Cornet right up the arse of a jewish Merkava.
Right now an exchange of fire between the two sides is taking place on the Leb-Palestine border.
Jew invaders in racist settlements have ALL been evacuated from the border. Israel is targeting Leb villages right on the borderline.
Other jewish military targets near Sheba Farms have also been hit, Almayadeen is reporting.
The situation is fluid, happening right now, and no casualty reports have so far been released from either side.
All roads in northern occupied Palestine that lead into Lebanon have been closed by the idf.
Netanyahu cut short a meeting and declared that "israel's security has been compromised". Great panic in tel aviv.
It appears to be the case that Hezbollah has struck two targets: all in Sheba Farms, which as you know is the last Lebanese territory to remain under israeli occupation.
Actually, I'm now gathering that a Hezbollah cell first struck the merkava, and when the idf attempted a push back at this cell, a second Hezbollah cell appeared behind them to give support to the first cell, and when the idf turned to the 2nd cell to fire at it, a third Hezbollah cell appeared from the sides and began to fire at the idf. Thus the jew terrorist was confused and rounded up into retreat while firing.
Heh!
Hezbollah has not released any statements regarding the present attack.
All will be clear in the next few hours.
I don't believe a war will break out. I don't believe israel dares to push for one.
The israeli press is freaking out lol! They just keep changing the propaganda story intended to allay the fears of their stupid people. The latest news from their lying gobs, specifically from the israeli channel KAN is that "a Hezbollah cell broken into israel and were immediately located and ALL killed, after which the hezbollah fighters All ran away back into Lebanon, so everyone now can relax – the israeli military has everything under control now'. So, dead Hezbollah fighters rose from the dead and returned home? LOL!
Everyone is the Leb is cheered up by this silly story – a story that only a born coward would come up with.
After some two hours of jewish bullshit, the israeli media is now admitting that there are no Hezbollah casualties heh!
Am watching live footage: long lens over the Shebaa Farm area where the retaliation occurred. Big smoke plumes, several of them… no action visible… the plumes of smoke are dissipating…
ALL info circulating mainstream media and social media at the moment is coming out of tel aviv – Hezbollah remains silent. They’re probably putting their videos together that will expose all the freaking lies that the jewish media has been releasing these past two hours. Nasrallah may even make an impromptu live statement where he clarifies the facts. Everyone in israel knows that Nasrallah doesn’t lie so many israelis are waiting for a Hezbollah statement too. And just now, a jewish female broadcaster from channel 12 stopped a military spokesman in mid sentence and asked him: “what is this story you’re giving us? It doesn’t make sense? I’m now suspicious of what you’ve just said”. Seconds later, she was removed from the show she hosts and a more compliant male replaced her. LOL!
Netanyahu must have shat in his star-of-david print underpants when he got the call – he dropped the meeting he was in the middle of and ran to his phone to contact euro and yankee leaders, not give a televised word or two of assurance to his people – the fucking coward lol!
Interesting lol!
Now we wait for official word from hezbollah… happening shortly.
My cousin is making popcorn, the corncheese cat that she is
.
Hezbollah has finally spoken! And this here is basically what they had to say: everything that happened this afternoon at the borders with israel was one sided. Hezbollah was not involved in any shooting whatsoever. The israeli military, already spooked for a few days in a row fired at actually nothing which then triggered other idf units to go into a similar tailspin panic and altogether they fired on a couple of Leb border villages that caused mini-mini damage to one house and no human casualties, then they retreated.
Hezbollah says that THE PROMISED RETALIATION IS YET TO COME.
LOL!
OMFG! Hilarious!
And Taxi, not only the apartheid regime looked as complete fool to the world as now Hizballah is saying they have the right to retaliate the martyr Ali Muhsen and now the houses and properties destroyed by this coward IDF attack….
I am beginning to think Hizballah planted a seed today for IDF’s over reaction, then it happened, and now Hizballah is in a even stronger position to raise the bar and give a stronger retaliation…it is playing perfectly to Hizballah’s hand, what a freaking strategic mind they have.
Thanks Canthama – and you're right, the Hezb tonight said there will be added retaliation for the damage done to the Leb house by the idf earlier this afternoon LOL! So fucking invoiced! Hilarious that the jews are getting invoiced – it's usually the other way round heh!
And you're right about the hezb being an ingenious strategist. More than that, they are funny-funny-funny! No one in the West talks about their sense of humor that often appears in their strategizing – and that's because often it is nuanced and localized, ie a specifically Leb in-house joke. Really, they are a funny lot. Nasrallah himself is a funny man: regularly cracking jokes and quips in speeches and interviews, and always in an understated, sweet and boyish manner.
Under the leadership of Nasrallah these past 28 years, the Hezb has really blossomed and come into its own. To think that it all started with a small group of working class, downtrodden and occupied men from south Lebanon, who, between them had too much dignity, too much morality and integrity to surrender to a racist, brutal occupier. They resisted, and resisted, and grew to resist some more and now they are the best resistance group in the whole world and a regional army to reckon with – an army that the jewy rulers of the world now fear.
Man! It just blows my mind because it's not Hollywood or mythology, it's frigging real – this really is their story!
Respect! Fucking rock stars of the battlefield!
Go Hezbollah! Yes! Kick the fucking shit out of those jew-coward illegal invader arseholes! All they've got left is their fake propaganda which is slowly but surely being seen for what it really is!
Hezbollah =heroes ✊
The jews are doing a good job of kicking themselves in the balls with their own boots it seems lol! OMG Hezblollah's silence has been like a bludgeon on the head of the jew. Made them go all dizzy and fizzy with anxiety to the point of popping poop in public. What a humiliating day for the idf hooraaaaaaay lol! Shit in pants and shit all over their faces! All their weaknesses that they've spend billions of dollars on hiding are now exposed to friend and foe alike yippeeeeee! Let's all do an Irish jig! C'mon! LOL!
Lying cowards. This is the jews for you: fucking lying cowards!
And today was a supreme example of it.
I can't figure out whom I hate more: liars or cowards. Drives me insane to figure it out cuz both enrage me so fucking much – and then to have the jews who posses both… man, this really fucks with my rage!
Yeah I'm human and I don't like evil!
RIP Peter Green. One of the real, great musical legends.
Oh man, Retaliation is still coming… right now it’s crawling unseen right under the stinkfoot of israel…
Oh man what a breathtaking wait… for the great unfolding.
… O ye mysterious target, reveal thyself before my heart stops from joy.
(*heh sometimes I think I’m Shakespeare)
MSM article BS > Please, Hezb, we made a mistake. We didn't mean to kill that Hezb guy. Please let us live. Amazing BS below article >
"Israel told Hezbollah it inadvertently killed fighter in Syria air strike"
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hezbollah-lebanon-syria-israel-killed-fighter-airstrike
Hey y’all! Did we all have a good time watching the idiot-coward idf shoot itself in the balls yesterday or what?! Heh! That sure was REAL jewish comedy, right?! Of course, Netanyahu and Gantz held a joint press conference early last night – I watched it but all I can remember from it today is the usual jewish no-substance macho blah blah threats – stuff we’re been hearing from the loser jews for years. And their stress had evidently doubled up overnight cuz since 5m this morning, we’ve had jew drones flying overhead non-stop, and a single terrorist jew warplane fly over us around 9am too. Plus, early this morning some explosions were heard closer to the israel-Leb border, but it turned out that the idf were doing military exercises in a loud manner. Nothing worse than having paranoid, noisy neighbors, right?! LOL!
Meanwhile in the Leb, PM Diab declared the attack on the Leb house at the borders yesterday an act of terrorism by israel and put the army on high alert because the “israeli enemy is a treacherous backstabber”. He called the next few days coming “dangerous” and asked the Leb people to be “vigilant and strong in the face of possible israeli attacks on our beloved nation”. President Aoun too released parallel statements. Both did not mention anything about Hezbollah because they both know that Hezbollah didn’t fire a single bullet at the idf yesterday.
And here I have to also say that Dorothy Shea, the US ambassador to the Leb, has been greatly quiet since Nasrallah’s last speech some two weeks ago when he told her to “stop meddling in our affairs, respect yourself and behave!” LOL! I’m pretty sure she also got a memo from our US State Department telling her to curb her aggressive excesses as it was having a reverse affect on Lebs who are agents and allies of the US inside Lebanon, hindering their work etc.
Lastly, world jewry are certainly fuming today. They have never been as humiliated as they were yesterday with the idf’s comedy of error-and-terror. They are an acutely vindictive lot who live off perpetual revenge – even after the corpse of their enemy lay at their feet, they still kick and stab and shoot at it. Fucking psychos! They now need to see Leb blood spilled as price for the biggest humiliation that they’ve suffered since 2006. But they’re too cowardly to do it themselves now so I suspect that they might blackmail Trump to do a hit-and-run strike on south Lebanon, knowing that he will not get involved in opening a war front with the Lebanese Resistance this close to the November elections. This would indeed be bad news for US troops in Iraq because the Iraqi branch of Hezbollah has vowed to attack US military personnel if the US attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon. Plus, Hezbollah in Lebanon will retaliate against a US strike on them by bombing tel aviv. And this, dear reader, will open the gates of the BIG WAR that Trump AND Netanyahu are desperately trying to avoid. Mindful here that both leaders are already in deep and dangerous crisis in their respective nations. Will they gamble their personal and political legacy over israel’s self-inflicted embarrassing humiliation yesterday? We will know the answer to this sooner than later.
AND in the meantime, we remain in wait for Hezbollah’s promised retaliation against terrorist israel.
Never a dull moment here in the south of Lebanon.

"US-ISRAEL MEETING: WHEN IS THE HEZBOLLAH RESPONSE EXPECTED?
Posted on 28/07/2020 by Elijah J Magnier
By Elijah J. Magnier: @ejmalrai
The last time that the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, visited Israel was shortly before the assassination of Major General Qassim Soleimani at Baghdad Airport. General Milley re-visited Israel a few days ago and met with Defence Minister Benny Gantz, the chief of staff Aviv Kochavi, and Mossad Director Yossi Cohen. The visit, which lasted for a few hours in the context of “confronting Iran and its allies in the Middle East, especially the threat posed by the Lebanese Hezbollah”, may be announcing a “hotter” summer. The topics were Iran but also the dangerous escalation between Hezbollah and Israel. Israel has removed forces along the Lebanese borders and deployed tanks and artillery brigades. Is this an act of intimidation or a mere precaution? Are the US and Israel preparing to ignite a war and change the rules of engagement? Are these defensive or offensive measures? And when will Hezbollah respond by selecting an IDF target to kill?
On Monday, Israel opened fire against a suspected movement in the occupied Shebaa Farms that turned out to be the apprehension and the excess of security procedures by the Israeli deployed troops along the Lebanese borders. It is inevitable for a nervous army waiting to be attacked, knowing that this government will accept the losses and turn the page, to fire against an non-existing enemy.” Hezbollah said “Israel was firing against an imaginary enemy and will be held accountable for damaging a Lebanese house during the Israeli artillery bombing of Lebanese territory, triggered by fear of a Hezbollah’s retaliation”. Hezbollah ended its communique’ saying to Israel: “Wait for the punishment”.
However embarrassing the incident is, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked “all ministers should avoid releasing any information about the event”. Netanyahu also stated that he would hold “Lebanon and Syria responsible for any attack,” and that he is “ready to respond if soldiers are hit.” Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen said, “any action that violates our sovereignty will be met with a strong response. We advise our enemies not to test us.” Israeli chief of staff Kochavi visited the border with Lebanon and told the commanders of the 91st Brigade, preparing for a possible retaliatory operation (reinforced by the Golani Brigade), that “tensions will continue in the coming days; Hezbollah will respond before Eid al-Adha,” celebrated by Muslims this Thursday.
Kochavi’s words are mere speculation: in fact, the decision is in the hands of Hezbollah, not Israel. The Chief of Staff is attempting to reassure Israeli soldiers that the state of alert, with them hiding inside their barracks, will not last long. According to a well-informed source, Hezbollah’s response will not follow Kochavi’s timing, thus excluding this week. It seems likely in the month of August. The goal is to drain Israeli morale, allow the “Axis of the Resistance” members and the world to watch the Israeli humiliation, and to confirm that the deterrence equation is being imposed by Hezbollah not Israel. Israeli General Amir Baram, commander of the northern front with Lebanon says ” Nasrallah is the world champion of psychological warfare.”
Hezbollah has imposed its Rules of Engagement and is forcing Israel to respect them following the Avivim attack. The people of south Lebanon are expected to spend their Adha Eid with no concerns “unless Hezbollah’s leadership is faced with a very attractive Israeli target to hit,” said a source within the “Axis of Resistance.” The source adds that “movements of Brigade 91 and their procedures are under watchful eyes monitoring the borders. The Israeli are adopting defensive measures, blocking roads leading to borders, increasing alertness: no evidence of offensive measures is recorded to date. “
As for the arrival of the USS Nimitz CVN 68 Navy aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, the source says, “Israel can provide hundreds of daily sorties, many more than the USS Nimitz could provide. Yes, the firepower of Tomahawk missiles provided by the accompanying warships is considered a morale booster, but nothing more.”
Expected US participation in any war that Israel declares will be nothing new; both have always been involved in the wars against Hezbollah and the Axis of Resistance in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, or Yemen.
“If US jets hit any target in Lebanon, Hezbollah will not distinguish between a US or an Israeli flag. They are considered only Israeli and the response will be missiles falling on the heart of Tel Aviv. All targets selected in the bank of objectives become legitimate goals. The possibility of the present tension escalating to a larger war is therefore, paradoxically, very weak,” the source added.
The retired intelligence officer and chief editor of the Israeli KOL Radio, Yoni Ben Menachem says “Israel is taking advantage of Trump’s last days to burn Iran”. “Iran” could well mean the allies of the “Islamic Republic”, especially Hezbollah, the most powerful ally of Iran in the Middle East.
There is no doubt that, when it takes the decision wage war, Israel will not have to search far for an excuse. However, it is no longer in an enviable position of superiority, in the light of the level of performance and deployment of military equipment Hezbollah is displaying. Israel has taken defensive measures by deploying a number of “Iron Dome” interceptor missile systems and others in northern Palestine, facing Metulla, opposite Jabal Al-Sheikh and in the occupied Golan. All of these are measures to confront what Israel fears in terms of Hezbollah’s response. Israel doesn’t rule out Hezbollah’s response coming from Syria or Lebanon, or indeed from multiple fronts. Today, Israel is most concerned about the precision missiles and the “Radwan” special forces, deployed to face the Israeli army.
With the support of the US, Israel tried to modify the UNIFIL peacekeepers’ tasks to carry out inspection missions into all areas in the south of Lebanon without exception. The aim was to reveal weapons caches, to affect the deployment of the Ridwan forces and reveal their exact location. However, this attempt failed, and it will not succeed as long as the Lebanese government rejects any modification of the mission of UNIFIL.
US President Donald Trump is looking for a victory for his remaining 100 days in office. However, an attempt to assassinate Hezbollah leaders or go to war on Lebanon could, according to informed sources, completely change the face of Lebanon and cause a degree of destruction to Israel that it has never known. Israel is aware of Hezbollah’s capabilities, thus its message sent to Hezbollah through the United Nations representative in Lebanon stated in detail that it did not know that a Hezbollah member was present at Damascus airport when it was bombed, and that it was not seeking escalation. Despite statements and appearances, Israel is not looking for obvious direct confrontation. All Israeli measures aim to reduce casualties and prevent Hezbollah from killing IDF soldiers, so that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s domestic crisis and calls for his resignation don’t escalate.
By sending a message through UNIFIL, Israel not only recognized the superiority of Hezbollah but that it has definitely lost the balance of deterrence, probably permanently. Israel admitted that it was unable to impose its own rules of engagement and is being subjected to the balance of terror imposed by Hezbollah. The Israeli intensification of sorties by drones and warplanes is a psychological effort to dissuade Hezbollah from striking “comfortably”, and to avoid heating up the frontline. However, speaking from decades of experience, the source considers that “when the decision is taken to hit an Israeli target, all these Israeli measures will be disregarded. “
For now, Hezbollah has decided … to remain silent."
Many thanks for yet another great share, dear Canthama. Everything in Elijah's article is spot on and correct. May the whole world be reading his article full of truth and facts.
The enemy would love to "burn Iran" (and its allies) – and of course, the word holocaust means to 'mass burn' and this is a favorite tactic of the evil talmudies. Let them try it! Let them light that liberating matchstick already and we'll see who gets a REAL holocaust this time round!
I frigging hate them so much and I have no problem saying so – I have no problem saying I hate evil itself! I'm also saying it on behalf of people who know it and feel it but are held hostage by the tyrannical evil jews who've stolen their freedom of speech from them. I want to assure these suppressed people that their suppression is temporary. Indeed, the liberation of Historic Palestine will bring with it the liberation of free speech right across the globe.
Hooraaaaah to the liberation of freedom itself!
While the terrorist israeli spine shivers and rattles in wait for Hezbollah's promised retaliation, it looks like US forces near Iran are not exactly comfortable in their terrorist boots either. The Axis of Resistance has put the two terrorist nations of israel and the US on high alert today!
Iran Missiles Target Fake Carrier as US Bases Go on Alert
Look, if either the US or israel were actually capable of confronting the Axis of Resistance on the battlefield, they would have started the BIG WAR with them already and smashed the Axis of Resistance to pieces by now. But not such scenario is visible on the current horizon. What is clear is that Pax Americana in the middle east can only flex its muscle for the cameras and not actually throw a punch at the stomach of ANY of its detractors in the middle east. The Axis of Resistance members are now directly linked to each other and share a single war theater between them. You strike at one of them in a serious measure and they will instantly open the floodgates of war against their offending enemy. The US and israel have understood this for at least 5 years but have kept it obscured from the media. Now their weaknesses are exposed for the whole world to see. Now they strut about with guns cocked but with arse and cock exposed.
Does anyone take seriously a soldier with no pants on and with all and sundry dangling?
Yeah the enemy of mankind is pantless and panting with fear.
You will know a war is coming when every US warship in and around Iranian waters runs for cover, this article by Gary Brecher is a little dated but is very relevant, a good read and very funny.
Remember that one sentence, get it branded onto your arm: “Ships currently have no defense against a ballistic missile attack.” What does that tell you about the distinguished gentlemen with all the ribbons on their chest who’ve been standing up on carrier bridges looking like they know what they’re doing for the past 50 years? They’re either stupid or so sleazy they’re willing to make a career commanding ships they know, goddamn well know, are floating coffins for thousands of ranks and dozens of the most expensive gold plated airplanes in the history of the world. You call that patriotic? I’d hang them all. http://exiledonline.com/the-war-nerd-this-is-how-the-carriers-will-die/all/1/
Hiya Harry! Thanks for a grrrrreat share. I’d actually read the article a few years back but had not read the ‘updated’ version, which adds to the articles greatness. Posturing and ‘looking good and pristine’ for your close-up does not a victory on the seas make. Even 14th century monkeys knew this.
Making useless and expensive weapons, paid for by the exhausted American taxpayer, has indeed become our reputation and signature. Our MIC will be the end of us all. Fat fucks stuffing dollars down their gob and bullets down everyone else’ throat.
Prior to Trump some call these gals the ‘3 key regime-change sisters’ > Hilary Clinton sec of state, Victoria Neuland assist sec state, and Susan Rice UN Ambassador & national security advisor & ‘voice of Benghazi’ under Pres. Obama. Consider this > MSM appears massively pushing Susan Rice to become Biden’s vice president should he defeat Trump in 90 days. These gals were involved in overthrow of Libya & Eukraine, and redoployed weapons captured from Libya to transfer arms via Benghazi to prosxies ‘hired’ to produce regime-change in Syria. Had Hillary won 4 years ago there’s grounds to belileve Dr. Assad might not still be standing tall as head of Syria’s govt. inclluding recapturing much of Syria’s sovereignty. Time will tell. Mike.

Doesn’t matter what war criminal is picked for the post. They’re gonna fuck America anyway cuz the middle east is gonna fuck them hard up their nasty jaxies! The countdown to evicting Pax Americana from the middle east began with General Suleimani’s assassination (R.I.P.). Mideast geopolitical experts are saying EVERYTHING will be changed in the region by end of 2020.
A war between israel and the Hezbollah is imminent, and the likelihood of it expanding will be high. And even if it didn’t expand, israel will eat shit and retreat and this will be considered the appetizer before the main BIG WAR course that’s just waiting at the enemy’s doorstep.
Biden shmiden, Susan shmusan – who the fuck cares?! Shrivelling cunts already marked for failure!
So… it's all quiet and dandy here in the south of Lebanon, while right across the border, the terrorist jews remain on high alert and waiting for the promised Hezbollah smackdown. Lebanon, as of tomorrow, goes on covid lockdown for five days, then two days following that of open-lock, followed again by five days of lockdown and so on and so forth for the foreseeable future. Still, so far it's been a great summer here. The news, however, has been a tad boring, with the Hezb-israel situ being the only story in town worth my while. The 'Resistance News Unfiltered' blog has a great summation of the story here:
What happened —and didn’t happen— at the Israel-Lebanon border?
The "Hollywood army" indeed lol!
The retaliation target may very well 'encourage' Option Five, as detailed in my article. No doubt some israelis are already thinking of the 'suitcase' option – between covid, political crisis after crisis and now hezbollah's retaliation promise, Option Five sure is looking better and better for more and more israelis.
Yeah fuck off out of the Holy Land with a whimper and not with a bang.
Hiya everybody! Hope you’re all having a lovely and super cool weekend
Please join me on the comment board of my new article here:
America Chooses a New Mideast Policeman
See y’all the on other side.
Really, if the US is smart enough in looking after its own interests, as well as sober enough and not in denial of its imploding hegemony in the middle east, it would simply ask Russia to co-rule over the ME with it. This would insure a relative peace there and cure the incessant headache Empire suffers from called 'the middle east'. And this would geostrategically also bring Russia slightly closer to the US and slightly away from China.
But nooooooooo, tel aviv and aipac would never allow for this.
I should clarify why israel would never allow for a wholesome US-Russia partnership in the middle east. Simply, Russia strictly adheres to International Law and would never allow for tel aviv to willy-nilly illegally assault its neighbors, as indeed the US ALWAYS permits the jews to do what the fuck they like, in both the middle east AND in DC.
Hi Taxi. Thanks for your new thread RE Turkey. Most appreciated and thought-provoking.
Turning to your ‘south of Lebanon’ > MSM continues non-stop telling all how unlucky are the poor Lebanese people allowing Hezbollah to screw their economy – causing huge inlation RE food prices, etc. You repeatedly point out that such falls on ‘deaf’ Lebanon ears since most citizens clearly understand such as pure propaganda. They understand the Empire’s role of economic sanctions against them, and why. Of coouse, 99% of US/EU citizens have zero clue, just as MSM plans. I would appreciate hearing how really bad is local inflation for the average citizen compared to say a year ago as you yourself purchase groceries, buy gas, pay utilities, etc. – and how most are coping, and what relief-light ‘seen’ end of tunnel. Thanks. Mike.
Thanks dear Mike.
Yeah for several weeks now, the jewy msm as well as saudi-sponsored/owned Arab media has been frantically dumping the Leb’s economic woes on Hezbollah without providing a single piece of evidence. Of course, most Lebs know it’s a big fat lie and repeating it over and over again a-la Goebbels is not working. But nevertheless, serious economic hardships are being experienced especially in the north of Lebanon. Covid job losses, especially in the tourist sector has taken a serious hit, and food and other necessities have skyrocketed all over the Leb, but the south seems to be faring better than the north, mainly due to Hezbollah setting up temp discount supermarkets/stores and charitable organizations that pay medical bills for the sick and needy. Even though the US embassy has greatly lessened its public war with the Hezb, it continues to bite at its ankles from the shadows and it continues to block Diab’s gov from enforcing new financial policies that would ease the citizens’ burdens. Yet, these past couple of weeks, Diab has managed to lift up the Leb Lira/Pound, albeit fractionally. The US’s economic warfare against the Lebanese continues with no sign of it abating while Trump is in the WH, so no big change is expected in this equation in the near future.
To answer therefore you question: inflation in the Leb is exhausting the Leb population, especially those who are short on actual dollars. Even Lebs who have plenty of Leb currency are exhausted by the inflation. Everything is an average of 3-4 times more expensive than it used to be six months ago. Building materials and engine parts have become especially expensive to pay for with Leb currency. Suppliers are insisting to be paid only in dollars. Take for instance my case last week: my diesel motor broke down and needed a major part replacing. The supplier insisted on getting paid in dollars. It cost $1,200 – pre crisis it cost $350. I offered to pay the $1,200 equivalent in black-market Leb currency and this offer was rejected. “Only dollars, madam”, was his final word. Of course I was forced thus to pay in dollars. My financial situ here is special/unusual: I actually have plenty of actual dollars so when I change my monthly budget into local currency, I’m at least three times richer than I used to be and thus I am personally not suffering under US sanctions. Mike, this here is what I’ve been doing for years, which has legally circumvented the dollar-transfer rules, especially the ones imposed on account holders in the Leb these past six months. I have been inviting family members and cousins to come visit me here in the Leb – I’ve been paying for their airline tickets and food with the proviso that they carry dollar-cash for me: picked up by them from my US account. It’s a win-win situ for both myself and my cousins and no laws are broken: they get a free vacation and I safely get my dollars (bypassing SWIFT). Even better, a month ago, Diab made it law that anyone coming to the Leb can now bring in an unlimited amount of dollars into the country instead of the standard $10,000 limit. Taking advantage of this, I’ve invited two cousins to visit me this summer, carrying with them bigger than the usual amount of dollars for me. So I’m really benefiting at this moment. Moreover, what I’ve been doing with my dollars is spending them INSIDE the village, in village shops that are completely out of dollars, and I’m using the old per-sanctions exchange rate of $1 = 1,500LL instead of the current $1 = 7,000LL with local shopkeepers. This way the shopkeepers are able to use these dollars to re-fill their shelves from the suppliers and distributors. This way no one in the village goes without. This is my own way of countering Trump’s sanctions locally. My humble contributions coupled with local Hezb veggie shop supplies at reduced prices are keeping the local environment in good financial stead. I don’t care if 5% of my dollars don’t bring in a good exchange rate on the black market. All I care about is making sure that no one in my vicinity is needy. Plus, having an organic veggie patch myself, really, my food overheads are extremely low anyway. Utility expenses have remained more or less the same as before despite the sanctions, so I’m barely feeling taxed by my utility needs. Bread prices have remained the same under sanctions. Gas and diesel prices more or less the same too. Imported medicine has gone up a little, but generic meds have remained more or less the same. My cousin, when she first arrived several weeks ago bought a bunch of Kettle Chips bags from a big supermarket in the city of Saida but was disappointed two days ago to find non in the same supermarket. Upon inquiry, the supermarket people told her that they are no longer stocking imported foods. So imported foods are no longer available. But who gives a shit about imported food?! I made her a big bowl of delicious home-made chips myself and that was that!
Summed up: yeah it’s very rough on the Leb citizen with no dollars in hand, but probably about a third of the population has plenty of dollars in pocket and they’re doing even better during the sanctions.
Taxi – thanks much your detailed reply RE Lebanon inflation impacts. Most helpful.
Question > was I wrong to post this on this older thread (Annexation), and should have posted it on your newer thread > 'America's new ME policeman' ? And, in future I should consider your newer thread as being your current thread to follow, incl. new posts? Thanks. Mike
