Hezbollah The Beautiful

A warrior’s soul sleeps in his fist.  Wakes in his fist.  Till his dying breath, will exist in his fist.

No gun and no mortal danger can unfold this fist.  A warrior will live and die with his fist clenched.

This is not for love of violence nor for the thrills of war.  Not because of a demented passion for death either.  This is because a warrior knows that even in times of peace, evil and evil-doers lurk in the shadow of peace.

Warriorship is vocational.  It is non-mercenary.  Non-materialistic.  Non-negotiable.  True warriorhood is purely defensive.  It is fixated solely on the protection of a higher justice and defense of self and the meek.  It is never predatory.  A warrior is steeped in a culture of righteous dignity and martyrdom.  Humble dignity.  And a sacred martyrdom.  A true warrior is not an ordinary soldier, nor a celebrated figure from either media or mythology.  A true warrior is real.  And rare.  A true warrior is the only class of human capable of kissing death right in the eyeball.  There is no fear of the infinite black void in the heart of a true warrior.

Throughout history, cultures under duress and attack by covetous enemies have produced their own brand of warrior.  Native American Indians gave us the ‘Braves’.  Japan gave us the ‘Samurai’.  France gave us Joan of Arc.   Africa gave us ‘Warrior Queen Amina’.  And modern Lebanon has given us, Hezbollah.

Hezbollah: currently the world’s most successful warrior-resistor group fighting against the most malevolent of all modern abominations, otherwise known as the Axis of Evil (US, Israel, and their Western and Arab-Wahabi allies).  Hezbollah is also currently the most reviled of all warriors.  This is because unable to defeat Hezbollah on the battlefield, and after already spending some $11 billion on many failed coups and smear campaigns this past decade, the Axis of Evil is now reduced to merely attacking Hezbollah with malicious lies and false accusations.  To demonize Hezbollah, to sully their immaculate reputation in a vast and global media campaign is about the only weapon left in the hands of the Axis of Evil.  This defamation offensive may work on some uninformed people, but indeed it will not weaken Hezbollah’s phenomenal abilities on the battlefield.  This agitating agitprop will not change any facts on the ground.  It will be but more of your tax dollars wasted on a chimera.

Hezbollah is noble, yet not royal.  Its warriors and leaders are essentially from working-class, farming communities who grouped themselves to repel a vicious, colonial and genocidal invader, otherwise known as Israel.  Some thirty years after the birth of their resistance group, Hezbollah remain exceptionally humble and profoundly rooted in their modest beginnings.  Even though Hezbollah has lost warriors in combat, the number of its martyrs has been relatively low, and it has yet to lose a single battle or war in its 30+ years of existence.  And despite its stellar successes on the battlefield, Hezbollah remains unostentatious and merciful in victory.  Most notable and impressive of all, Hezbollah’s leadership does not practice chicanery, skullduggery or monkeyshines.  They simply do not lie.  Not once has its leadership deceived or duped its fighters, its allies or supporters.  Consistently true to their word, even Israeli Jewish citizens, according to Israeli polls, believe what Hezbollah’s leadership says above their own leaders in Tel Aviv.  This is because time and time again, what Hezbollah says simply and truly ‘is’, and what it promises, it always delivers.  And, indeed, it has outsmarted its bulkier enemy at every turn of the road and delivered.

All their battles have been for defensive reasons.  ALL of them.  They are exceptionally well-disciplined and focused on the task of righteous liberation from cruel and oppressive forces.  Their training system produces no traitors and no Mammonites easily seduced by the lure of wealth, physical pleasures, or political status.  They are therefore beyond blackmail.  Beyond distraction from their cause.  Steeped in a culture of martyrdom that’s inspired by the prophet Mohammad’s grandson Hussein and his agonizing martyrdom, a passion-cause and agony that’s parallel to the martyrdom culture of the Christian prophet Jesus, Hezbollah’s warriors are beyond the corruption of soul. 

Their training is two-pronged.  They are trained in agile guerilla combat, while simultaneously taught a righteous philosophy that in essence is religio-spiritual.  A philosophy inspired by their fundamental belief in a just and compassionate god, a god who rewards the faithful and true.  This is precisely what distinguishes them from other armies: their absolute philosophical and physical commitment to a righteous god.  Although deeply religious and strictly committed to Islam, they are remarkably tolerant of other sects, other faiths and cultures, as exampled by their recent willing martyrdom in defense of Syrian Sunnis, Druze and Alawites, as well as their heroic defense of Christian villages and their ancient Churches in the Levant.  Hezbollah warriors have sacrificed their own lives to liberate the very progeny of the original Christians of the world who still reside in the Levant; liberate them from Western and Israeli-backed ISISian terrorists and invaders.  Worth mentioning here too, according to a Lebanese General I spoke to, is that Hezbollah are also the protectors of the last remaining Jewish synagogue and its community in Lebanon, numbered at approximately 400 Lebanese adherents.  Perhaps here it’s also germane to add that during their wars against Israel, Hezbollah’s leadership have even earnestly embraced and supported the resistance efforts of godless Lebanese communist groups fighting against the invading Jewish army.  They have broken bread with and befriended the godless and the godfull alike in the name of fighting and deterring a genocidal and kleptomaniac enemy.  Hezbollah remains bonded and intimately close to other Lebanese resistance groups, even in times of peace.  Their friendships are always genuine, devoid of exploitative and fickle realpolitik.  They are interested and concerned with uniting their countryfolk, not dividing or dominating them.  They support a peaceful and equitable co-existence between the 18 legally recognized religions and sects of the Lebanon, whose population count is currently at 6.825 million.  It is of historic record that they have even given immunity to Lebanese traitors who colluded with Israel during its 18 year occupation of Lebanon.

Hezbollah follows strict moral rules of war that do not allow for the wanton killing of the enemy: repulsion of enemy and not massacre of enemy is their first and foremost tactic – and if this proves insufficient, then annihilating their enemy becomes a permissible and sanctified necessity.   Their Islamic rules of war insist on the humanitarian treatment of POW’s and Hezbollah always obliges.  They are trained to be impeccably well-mannered towards their captives: trained not just in strategic guerilla warfare, but also educated in the lofty principles of charity and mercy toward the captured and repentant.  They do not abuse victory by claiming sole power: they believe in power-sharing with their compatriots, even with those who never stepped foot on the battlefield. 

Hezbollah is supreme, yet evidently not supremacist. 

They never break their laws of war for fear of their god.  They would rather literally die than break these laws that displease their god.  They follow their religio-philosophical and military protocol with absolute precision; and they practice devoted respect and trust in the righteousness of their commanders and cause.   Extrajudicial executions are forbidden, and so is the unjustified assault on their enemy.  They do not shoot at unarmed women, children or men either.  They do not target the handicapped sitting in their wheelchairs like the Israeli army and other Jewish security apparatuses regularly do.  They do not invade, they liberate.  Hezbollah is a reactive and defensive resistor and not an army of usurpers and psychopaths hellbent on mass murder and the looting of what is not rightfully theirs.

Their resistance culture is humanist.  Through and through.

They strive for a just and peaceful world, no matter the cost to their own lives.  Indeed, they live for martyrdom; they yearn for martyrdom in the cause of a just and peaceful world.  They rank martyrdom as the absolute highest achievement in life.

“We don’t fear death as our death is martyrdom.  Martyrdom means eternally living close to our god.  Living close to god is the ultimate point in the ascension of mankind: cannot be achieved except through martyrdom” – a Hezbollah warrior.

There is a trinity of principles contained in Hezbollah’s martyrdom philosophy.  They are willing to die for three principled notions: for god, for family, and for nation.  They live and die for nothing else but for god, family and nation.  I can’t stress enough how important their triadic life-philosophy is for them.  As faith-filled warriors, they do not ever separate from this soulful philosophy, or ever discard it while at war or even during peace time – not even momentarily, not even for a nano second.  Their martyrdom philosophy is their very oxygen.  Their very spine.  They are consistent in their profound commitment to their divine, triangular philosophy.  This is the mother of absolutes for them.  This supplies them with infinite, fearless courage.  This inspires their attachment and love of righteous, disciplined behavior and focused intent.  This provides them with infinite determination; with boundless physical and mental legerity.  During warfare training, and on the battlefield and off, they remain intimately connected to this inspirational triangle of motives.  In their universe, the muscle, the moral and the divine are eternally wedded.  This is the very reason behind their unbroken record of victories and their continuing and increased strength and popularity across the world. 

Hezbollah reveres their god above all else – their supernal god sits atop their spiritual pyramid, directly linked below to the two sacred earthly duties of protecting family and nation.  Hezbollah warriors value this triadic configuration above even their own lives.  They connect their earthly duties towards family and nation directly to the service of their celestial god.  Their god requires their unflinching faith and their protection of ‘tribe and land’, and Hezbollah warriors, they are willingly servants who selflessly submit to the absolute reverence of god and protection of family and nation.  This noble aegis pleases their god: Hezbollah warriors live for nothing but to please their god, therefore they will never break or dissolve the divine contract they’ve undertaken with their god.  Their enemy should be aware and beware: they will actively neutralize any and all threats to this divine equation – even at the cost of their own lives.  This is their only mission on earth: reverence of god, defense and protection of family and land.  This is Hezbollah’s manifesto in a nutshell.  Nothing less than that.  Nothing beyond that.

Their resistance model and system has gained much traction and spread outside of their Levantean locale: from the punishing dunes of Yemen and all the way to South America, from the Fertile Crescent and right across the continent of Asia, Hezbollah’s resistance model has spread and continues to be received with open arms, much to the chagrin of their pernicious, defeated enemies. 

Hezbollah’s other unique quality is that of sober patience.  They are exceptionally adept at the art of patience: their carpet-weaving Iranian friends have taught them this necessary life-skill and they’ve artfully applied this mental discipline to all their war and battle strategies.  Believing their faith in their god is permanent and unbreakable, yet everything worldly is changeable, they therefore patiently play the long game against their enemy with utter confidence and evident success.

Yet, despite all the above factual and admirable qualities, their enemies and their enemies’ global media megaphones label Hezbollah as ‘narco-terrorist’ and ‘Islamic terrorist’.  Accusing the Hezbollah of trafficking drugs is no different in absurdity than accusing Mother Teresa of global heroin-trading.  Everyone who knows Hezbollah’s MO knows that their warriors and their leadership live a clean and sober life.  They do not even drop f-bombs or cuss dirty words at their enemy.  They are as clean-tongued and clean-living, as humble and ‘gracious as the morn’.  Knowing the lifestyle and philosophy that Hezbollah strictly adheres to on the battlefield and off, it is simply inconceivable that Hezbollah would displease their god by running local and international drug rings that ruin people’s lives, break up families and weaken nations.  This preposterous accusation belongs to the long list of perfidious lies manufactured by their enemies, who themselves, in fact, participate in international drug trading and trafficking, with the CIA running the lucrative global opium trade of Afghanistan, and the Mossad running the global Ecstasy drug trade in Europe and America.

Unable thus to find a military Achilles’s heel and character fault in their MO, Hezbollah’s enemies have produced a long litany of alleged crimes without ever providing even a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing.  Hezbollah’s enemies have added Hezbollah’s good name to their infamously politicized ‘terrorist list’ without even once providing proof and irrefutable substantiation of terrorist activity.  Let us here together therefore look at this list of accusations below – and please you will be mindful that if Hezbollah terrorism against the US were in fact true, that there exists actual evidence of Hezbollah terrorism against the United States, Lebanon, especially the south of Lebanon where Hezbollah is based, would have already received a decisive and fatal American ‘Shock and Awe’ treatment.

There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that Hezbollah’s leadership has ever ordered or committed the following: the 1983 truck bombing on the US embassy in Beirut; as well as the bombing of US and French barracks in the same year.  The bombing of a restaurant near the US Air force base in Torrejon, Spain; the car bombing of the US embassy annex in Beirut; and the hijacking of a Kuwait Airlines plane – all in the year 1984.  The hijacking of TWA flight #847 in 1985.  The abduction and execution of three Lebanese Jews in 1986, under the pseudonym of the ‘Organization of the Oppressed on Earth’.  The murder of three Saudi diplomats in 1988.  The assassination of a Saudi secretary in Bangkok in 1989.  The assassination of two more Saudi diplomats and a telex operator at the Saudi embassy in Bangkok in 1990; as well as the kidnapping and murder of a Saudi businessman in Bangkok in the same year.  The murder of Ehud Sadan, a security chief at the Israeli embassy in Ankara; as well as the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires back in 1992.  The failed attempted murder of a Turkish-Jewish community leader in Istanbul in 1993.  The failed attempt at car-bombing the Israeli embassy in Thailand; and the suicide bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association building in Buenos Aires – all in year 1984.  The truck bombing at the US portion of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996.  The assassination of former Lebanese PM, Rafic Hariri, in 2005.  The attack on a bus in Bulgaria that was full of Israeli vacationers back in 2012.  And many, many more ‘failed this and attempted that’ terrorism activities falsely pinned on Hezbollah by no less than its enemy Israel and its agents in the US and Europe, and by its gruesome Wahabi-Arabian foes.

A handful of the above false and politicized accusations are on a continuous rotation in the Jewish and Western media, yet not even a semblance of proof is ever provided to the reading public.  Relying on Islamophobic media trends, these accusations of terrorism are published and republished over and over again, in the hope that hearsay will eventually prevail as fact in the minds of reasonable people.  In other words, the above allegations are nothing but propagandistic slings and arrows aimed at demonizing an undefeated and righteous resistance group.  Interestingly, despite these aggressive propaganda operations against the Hezbollah, neither its fighting skills or vigor have been damped, nor have these misinformation assaults halted the spread of its popularity around the the world.  Even the military academies of its enemies, in silent admiration now include the study of Hezbollah’s supreme tactics and warfare strategies in their curriculum, thus confirming the high caliber of their fighting skills and war philosophy.  One cannot separate Hezbollah’s war strategies from the foundation of their humanist philosophy.  Both are always employed in tandem.  Hezbollah always leave an exit passage for their enemy to retreat through during an ambush.

Hezbollah receives enthusiastic moral support from Muslim as well as non-Muslim nations.  From Eastern and from some Western nations.  Hezbollah is respected, loved and revered in the four corners of the world – including appreciation by some citizens in enemy nations who are mentally unmolested by their State propaganda.  This is not just because humans by nature love an undefeated war hero.  This is because the humble Hezbollah has successfully established itself as an army of the people, by the people, for the people.  And here lies the essence of its true popularity.  A Lebanese force of good that’s comprised ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’ is no different than the beloved American constitutional motto of a government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people’.  What Hezbollah has achieved for its nation and for its compatriots as a resistance group, American politicians are yet to actually demonstrate and realize for the benefit of the American people.

Why is that?

This is because the Lebanese have clearly defined their enemy as Israel, whereas the American collective has yet to identify its insidious internal enemy as ‘Jewish power’.  Jewish power that has risen through unsavory and un-American tribal cronyism, nepotism, blackmail and coercion.  Jewish supremacy that has been blatantly dominant of American life internally and American foreign policy internationally for the past 60+ years (since the Kennedy assassination, in fact).  Jewish power that has essentially been corrosive and disfiguring of American traditional life domestically, and ruinous upon its purse and reputation internationally.  But, if the Lebanese can so successfully circumvent and repeatedly defeat abusive Jewish power, then so can Americans who live under the boot of an overtly anti-democratic Jewish occupation.  The recent shredding of our beloved First Amendment is but the latest victim of Jewish tyranny, and an undeniable expression of their hate of our democracy.

But, for Americans to liberate themselves, they first need to overcome all the gauntlets and weapons of mass distraction, all the social-engineering and numerous other dumbing-down projects that American elite Jews and their lobby have insidiously imposed on American citizen and politician alike.  For Americans to be truly free and independent, and they are a captive people at present, they need to first bypass all the Jewish-engineered and sponsored divisions inside of America.  Divisions like Identitarian politics, race-baiting and race disharmony, Jewish-owned Hollywood’s demonization of traditional American values, Neoliberalism, globalism, the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, Mainstream media, most of Altmedia – and the long list goes on.  They also need to discard and rebel against imposed mental pollutants like the mandatory teaching of the fake Anne Frank book in their schools; and most certainly, they also need to reject the funding of all those hideous Holocaust museums that operate to enable ongoing Jewish crimes against Americans by portraying the Jews as the ‘eternal victims with special needs’.  All these holocaust museums are no more than propaganda factories paid for by your own tax dollars, not by Israeli Shekels or by private Jewish donations.  It is the height of absurdity that Americans should be paying for their own brainwash and mental enslavement.  Americans need to, ABOVE ALL, reclaim their First Amendment right that’s been hijacked and recently ripped to shreds by Jewish power.  Americans need to regain their freedom of speech and be able to call a spade, a spade, and a Jew, a Jew.  

There is no understating how many Jewish chains are already wrapped around the American mind and body.  That’s your individual mind and body I speak of.

Begs the question here: where is your dignity and self-respect, dear American?  Where is your honor and warriorhood?  Where are the fruits of your labor that you’ve invested in your family and country year after year?  It is not in your own hands, and it is not being spent on your community either.  The Jewish lobby has made sure that your freedom and your tax dollars go first and foremost and directly towards serving the state of Israel.  The Jewish lobby has killed your democracy, created social devastation right across the nation and fleeced your hard-earned tax dollars to benefit the klepto and oppressive state of Israel.  The Jewish lobby has been treating you no different than a nation of slaves it socially engineers and owns.  Presently, America is not in a state of justice and grace.  Americans of all colors and stripes are not a free people.  America is no longer ‘the beautiful’.  America is under occupation by tribal Jewish power.  And the Lebanese?  The Lebanese, despite their mountain of current internal crisis, are in fact living a well-earned liberated life.  The bruised Lebanese are in fact a freer people than the Americans are.  A life of freedom from occupation gifted to them by the consistently vigilant and sacrificial Hezbollah.  Hezbollah the patriot.  Hezbollah, the beautiful.

When will citizens of the West and of America realize that Hezbollah is by far more on their side than the tax-fleecing, warmongering Zion?  After all, Hezbollah exists to liberate, not to rob the Mints of Europe and America, not to warmonger for wars of choice that cost mega dollars and Euros and rivers of blood.  And most certainly, Hezbollah does not in any measure oppress the Western people’s rights to freedom of speech – a right that the Israel lobbies of Europe and America are fixated on denying the people.

Where is your own Hezbollah, dear American?  Where is your resistance to your occupier?  Where is your resisting mind?  Your resisting vote?  Your resisting words?  Your resisting art?  Your resisting gun?

As an American expat witnessing the damage and dire divisions inflicted on our society by Jewish elites, I advise you not turn your guns against one another.  This is absolutely a ruinous folly.  This is what your insidious occupier is betting on.  Your division emboldens and empowers them.  To fleece more out of you for the sake of Israel, the enemy in your midst needs you further divided and weaker.  Do not submit, but do circumvent.  Circumvention through unity.  You do not have to love one another to death, but you do have to unite and resist against your enemy within if a life of freedom, peace and prosperity is what you think you deserve.  Unite despite your differences.  Unite despite your rage.  This is your key to liberation.

‘By deception thou shalt do war’.  This is the Israeli motto.

‘Live free or die’.  This is an American motto.  It is also a Hezbollah motto.

    To all yea naysayers and cynics who drank the jewish koolaid and see Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, I challenge all and any of you to bring forth a single piece of substantiated evidence, just one, that proves that Hezbollah has engaged in any acts of terrorism either inside of Lebanon, or across the world.  Defensive acts and measures by Hezbollah have been plenty, yes.  But hard as you look, there is not a single incident that would under even average scrutiny be labeled as terrorism.  Of course, their enemies being terrorists and mass murderers themselves would have you believe otherwise.

    Google hates freedom of information and freedom of thought.  This means it also hates democracy.  I can't for the life of me now find a single Hezbollah video that is positive and of substance.  Google has buried them all in the internet's deep, dark infinity.  It has also buried all negative info on israel that point to its international criminal syndicate and activities.  But, aha!  I did find this little number here:

    So like what, like Empire, in its current and irreversible state of internal misery and cutting and self-harm now wants to take on China and Russia and North Korea and Venezuela and Libya and Iraq and Iran and Syria and Lebanon and Yemen and Pakistan and Afghanistan and Germany and even Armenia and and and and – all at the same time?  Empire wants to go to war with all them nations thinking it can win the lot all at the same time?  In the evidently shabby and sodding state it’s in internally?  Whoofff!  Methinks Empire is deluded and believes the world can be remade like a cheap Hollywood movie.

    I direct this comment at the American intelligentsia. Do you even fucking exist outside of your petty and pitiful identitarian domain?! Grow some fucking brainballs and step outside of your silly twat box already! There’s a painful intellectual anorexia sweeping right across from coast to coast, just as there is in the belly and groin of middle America – and what in dickduck’s name are you doing about it? Knowing about it? Saying about it? It’s an American tragedy that you’ve allowed an intellectually vacuous mouthpiece-media to be anointed and considered as intelligentsia, when they are nothing more than warmongering whores for fame and fortune, turning tricks for those nasty old hooded pimps everyone calls the Israel Lobby and the Military Industrial Complex. A whacky mix of excessively groomed bimbos, bimbas and pompous pseuds is exactly what America’s media is. There is no intelligentsia in media. And there is no all-embracing, all-encompassing, all-inclusive visionary of overall America in American intelligentsia either. This is because American intelligentsia envies all them media puppet over-earners with mega fanclubs and followers and would like a piece of that squidgy-hugzy-yummzy pie too. Envy is always all-consuming and distracting and this distraction is thus creating a vacuum of intelligence and lowering the standards inside of America’s smartassy pond; creating a blindspot in America’s intellectual drive and direction. It was so idiotic of America’s intelligentsia to self-box in identitarianism and sellout to lucrative media. They really didn’t have to, just to fit in with the frigging jews who own America’s publishing houses. Intelligentsia is not supposed to fit it! They’re supposed have transcended this common level of peer-approval and desire for common popularity. Like a magpie, America’s intelligentsia was evidently seduced by the stupid-sparkling. Not the substance. Not the collective soul. Not the mind soar.

    If anything, America’s intelligentsia should be cancelled by its own pet-love ‘the cancel culture’. America’s failed intelligentsia has become part and parcel of the fully repellent and narcissistic celebrity-culture responsible for making an already stupid people even more stupid.

    R.I.P. American vocational discourse. R.I.P. American thought-innovation. R.I.P. American intelligentsia.

    Check out this 'interactive map' released by the jewy CIA and FBI this past summer – no doubt with the aid of their mossad bosses.  Notice how yet again, no REAL proof is provided, just plenty of 'Orwellian' sources and allegations produced by Hezb enemies. 

    In case you didn't know, for years now and ongoing, Shia-Leb citizens living overseas have been targeted by terrorist israel and her whores and arrested willy-nilly then charged with nonsense charges, only to be released after the courts have run their long course.  What you have as part of the map is a list of targeted Shia-Leb names arrested – notice how NO PROOF IS PROVIDED, only names and allegations.  And apparently, as of this past August, 2020, some "925 events" by Hezbollah have been recorded around the world by you-know-who.  Wow, what busy lie-factory we have here!  As if the Hezb doesn't have more important things to do than to send or prompt their people living round the world on nothing but failed missions.  And tel aviv really expects people to believe this shit map?!  Really, if I was to mark up all the crimes that the CIA and mossad have committed, you would not be able to see a single centimeter of earth for all their crime-dots that would cover the map of the world.

    Oh yeah and here's the video promo of the above map.  An expensive video and map that your tax dollars paid for to help coward israel cover up its own failures against the hezb.  WARNING: too many paid jews in the video, so be sure to watch it with nose peg and handy sickbag:

    Being smart is not enough.  One has to be both smart and honest to mentally survive the jew opiates and the jew poisons infesting our political and social life.  One needs to be both smart and honest to survive the creeping doom leading to… well, more doom.

    "Question: What in your view needs to change in order to make U.S. foreign conduct abide by international law and therefore enhance the prospects for world peace?

    Christopher Black: It will require a revolution in the United States to do that, an overthrow of the economic powers that control the machinery of the state, but there is no prospect of that happening. There is really no effective opposition to these policies in the U.S. The peace movement is weak and fragmented, dominated by the “cruise missile liberals”. The voices of reason have no power, no real influence among the masses of the people which are dominated by a sophisticated propaganda machine known as the “media”. Censorship is increasing and the few critical voices that exist are being silenced.

    It will take, in my view, a military defeat of the United States in order to bring about the conditions necessary for the required changes. And, perhaps that will happen, as China has stated time and again, that if Washington decides to take direct control of their island of Taiwan and the Americans interfere or if they are attacked in the South China Sea, they will defeat the U.S. But such a war would have world consequences and would cause realignments of power not only in the USA, if we all survive it."

    Thanks for this meditation. Taxi, I'm going to hazard a guess that you are what earlier generations called a Daughter of the American Revolution. If so, your people drifted away from religion long before the rest of the country. I sense you are struggling to be true to yourself by speaking of Hezbollah as true to their god. But that gets everything wrong. They are being true to God, as all religion is. All religions are reflections of religion. (Judaism is not, however, religion but satanism in the guise of religion.) Jesus said unless you die and are born again you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Mohammed said die before you die. The true samurai knows he is already dead. How does it work? A mountaineer who fell off a mountain and survived spoke about it. The first thing is that time slows down to almost standstill and one looks around to see how one might survive. When you realize that you are truly done for, the self that is the subject of fright gets deconstructed. That self was constructed by fright-for-the-self, not the other way around. When the fright is surrendered to, one realizes one is not finite. One is identified with everything, in a state of grace. How could such a one, already dead, be bullied? Hezbollah, like other Shia need not fall off a mountain because they identify minute by minute with the deaths of Husain and his companions. And they do this many, many times a year. And so, by the grace of God, they are the noble humble warriors you see. All the qualities you point to are from that source. America has no chance until Americans learn somehow to be free, beyond loss of dignity. Inshallah.

      Many thanks for your comment, Sarz. Love the ‘mountaineer’ analogy. It resonates with me. I was once almost eaten by a Wyoming Grizzly Bear while camping. Talk about primordial fear and the instant petrification of veins that one suddenly feels and the ‘out of time’ calculations that the brain suddenly falls into! Never mind the heartbeat like a perpetually fired cannonball! Yet, despite all the horror, a small but extremely comforting ping of light in the mind. Oh savior!

    You can’t take a single brush and paint all Hezbollah fighters with it, without adding some injustice to the mix.

    What I’ve heard [yes, hearsay] about them was that they’re considered to be brave in battle.

    That’s all you can ask of a soldier to be.

    To face death and be brave.

    To be honorable and honest.

    To be someone to look up to after the dust has settled.

    The squatters over in Occupied Palestine lack all of the above and therefore will lose whatever comes next.

    Keep your enemy on his toes…, right before you make him trip and fall.

    Hail to the true warriors of justice.

    True story from a few years ago: 

    As most of you already know, Lebanon is on daily electricity rations, subsidized by private or communal diesel generators or household batteries that citizens have installed in their homes.  I happen to have both batteries and a diesel engine, and I've contracted a dude who lives a few miles away to service my diesel and batteries on a monthly basis.  He is in his late 30's and has five children, his eldest (at the time) being 14 years old.  This kid was a real science wiz who showed deep understanding and interest in quantum physics at his tender age.  His neighborhood being a Hezb neighborhood naturally meant the Hezb would learn of his unusual talents.  One day, my motor dude gets a knock on the door and it's a team of official Hezb admins come to talk to the dad about his precocious son.  They said: "With your permission, we would like to oversee your son's education.  We would like for him to come and live in one of our barracks where he would get advanced education by one of our science professors." The father, with mixed feelings about this replied: "Your request both honors and saddens me.  My wife and I are very attached to the boy, so are his younger siblings.  We will talk to him about it and let him decide for himself.  We will give you an answer in the next few days."  After a family meeting, the boy decided it was a 'yes' and off he went to live and study with the Hezb.  A few months later, the dad was driving on a white-knuckle and winding mountain road and had a car accident: his car went off the tight road and tumbled rolling down a foresty ravine.  He was badly injured: trapped inside his crushed car and was not found till some 4 hours later – his back had to be operated on and therefore obviously he could not immediately return to work, could not earn a living to feed the rest of his family.  The Hezb heard of the accident and immediately returned the genius son back to his parental home.  They said to the bedridden father: "Your family needs their eldest son.  We're returning him to live with you.  We've found him a local job as an electronic engineer's assistant.  He will bring in a good wage that will feed the family till you've recovered from your back injury.  We will not ask for your son again.  Being the eldest, he has a responsibility to his family first and foremost.  We would also like to pay for his university education come the time. "  And sure enough, the father eventually recovered and returned to work and the son went back to continue his schooling and his further education, and true to their word, the Hezb paid for this.  Last month the boy received his MA in quantum physics at age 21.  He still lives at home.

    This is but one example of how the Hezb puts family above even the party itself.

    Amazing article!

    There no doubt whatsoever that this article will make those terrorist cowards down south much more anxious and jittery. This isn't about how many missiles Hezbollah might or might not have. This is about the pure substance of an amazing group of people who possess qualities that simply don't exist among their enemies

    The whole ethos of Hezbollah was borne out of resistance to the evil, terrorist Jews. You could say it was Israel that helped create the very thing that will eventually destroy it

    I just wish I was as patient as Hezbollah!

    So we're told that Hezbollah has committed terrorism against the US and the US's response is to sanction 'individual members' of the group?  How is that 'normal' behavior for the evil Empire?  So much neurotic jewy activity and tax-dollars are spent on trying to pin this delusional 'terrorism' thing on the Hezb.  All them fat, ugly suits who'd pee in their pants if they ever met an honest and brave person should just stfu already!  The good people of the world just don't believe them!

  16. Saladin says:

    Magnificent article. Thanks Taxi. This will frighten the enemies of truth and of mankind. Let's hope it wakes up some timid brainwashed souls. 

    Hezbollah has always drawn my most fervent admiration. Since I first read of their heroic exploits of noble resistance against the criminal invader of Lebanon's soil, I have loved them and admired them. I believe Hezbollah is a divinely appointed instrument to carry out earthly justice and destroy the pseudo state on it's southern border. This is necessary to liberate not only Lebanon and the Middle East, but the vast part of the world that has come under the influence and control of the diabolic death cult operating "by way of deception" through government, media and twisted modern pseudo culture. Every day the moment of their demise draws closer. 

     

    • Taxi says:

      Thank you, dear Saladin. Good to have you visit again. The theme of this article was way overdue. We need more writers countering the insanely huge propaganda campaign that’s specifically aimed at the good Hezb. And we need to pray/wish/desire/will (or whatever the word) that the war criminal jews of tel aviv and DC are evicted and hounded/hunted down wherever they may end up fleeing to.

        So true, dear Taxi. The propaganda against Hezbollah (and so many beacons of light and truth and justice on this planet) is a fog that will one day lift to reveal the shining truth. Your efforts are exceedingly valuable!

    Do you have a twitter account to follow? so that I won't miss any of your articles

    Thank you 

    • Taxi says:

      Thank you for your visit and kind words, dear Fatima.

      I was banned from twitter many years ago (for being anti israel). I have no interest in rejoining twitter or shwitter. I am not a journalist and lately only write articles about what I deem to be of consequential events: news that effect or change geopolitical equations in the middle east. My Hezb article was an exception: I wrote it to counter the massive jewy media campaign against them. I wrote it also because I love the Hezbollah. Plato’s Guns is 100 million per cent pro Hezbollah and forever so.

      My blog is comment-focused, with new comments and links shared on a daily basis (time permitting). Even if you don’t see a new article when you visit us again, please do check out new comments on the last pinned article as there you’ll always find good current stuff.

      I will add your name to Plato’s subscription, this way you will be informed of any new articles published by me. I will also bookmark your Alahednews and check it out periodically for Hezb news to share here on Plato’s. Good luck keeping your twitter account active. Hezbollah needs all the media help it can get – it really does.

      Fact is, nobody can stop Iran from continuing its civilian nuclear program, and no one can stop it from a military one if it chooses it either.  This is because Iran already has the nuclear 'know how' and it's all about the acquisition of the 'know how'.  You can missile and bunker-bust every nuclear plant and compound in Iran, but you can't destroy the 'know how'.  This knowledge is not confined to a single Iranian scientist.  Iranian students are being taught this 'know how' as I type this.  Assassinating one Iranian expert does not destroy either the Iranian program or its know-how, but it sure gets the war that will finish off israel closer.

      Notice how Yinon remains in his Levantean coffin. And it’s the Resistance that stands over his contorted corpse. All israel can do about it is shake hands with faraway Arab crypto jews as abstract compensation and in pretense. Hand shakes are not ‘facts on the ground’.

Who likes to confuse the public with misinformation to distract from the obvious crime? Yeah you guessed right. And re the picture, you think the Iranians are so stupid as to use glistening catsup? Obviously the red stuff on the ground is post the crime and after the crime scene has been examined and cleared. Anybody could have dumped the red shit on the ground – and I note that the car has zero catsup on it and the red stains are fresh waaaaay after the crime – no congealing there.

    Because I mention in my article that 'overt' jewish control of the US occurred after the Kennedy assassination, a reader sent me this archival article on the Kennedy family assassinations. Very interesting:

    Did Israel Kill the Kennedys?

    Intriguing that the death of WASP power began immediately after the Robert Kennedy assassination.  And jew power took over, pretty much completely, soon as Jack Kennedy was assassinated.

    Looks like Ted Kennedy was the runt in the family – he wanted nothing to do with 'assassination investigations'.

    America was never the same after Jack's liquidation.  Things have palpably gone downhill for America since then.  Will we ever see millions of Americans demanding immediate justice for the 3 Kennedy assassinations (John's too)?  Fat chance with so much ziocaine rushing their veins – poison that they're not even aware they suffer from.

    I commented in a previous thread that RFK jr and Trump are in tight together. There have always been questions as to what really happened to JFK jr. For me, JFK jr is alive and in protection.

    Trump's operation is known to be holding everything about JFK's murder. When Trump releases the classified stuff in full, he is most likely to follow with the JFK assassination files, in full.

    The CIA section chief for Dallas at the time has already been executed for treason. Sidney Korshak was the prime contractor for the assassination.

His daughter was dating Lord Rothschild's son. He's top of the Jew food chain. And pretending to be a goy hero. Here's something that a particular hero of mine, Michael 'Collins' Piper saw fit to write about Donald Trump in 2004.

        Here's something I wrote back at the time of Epstein's arrest.

        http://www.twf.org/News/Y2019/0711-TrumpRothschild.html

        A friend with a resistance website asked me to update it, but I didn't want to damage Trump's chances in the election because with Biden and that Jewy faction, America is gone. With Trump’s Jewy faction, since it uses American nationalism, it gives American patriots some breathing space. Many commentators have spoken of Trump as lacking a soul. (Remember Jesus: What doth it profit a man…) Xymphora figured out what Trump's deepest identity is: he's a winner, whatever it takes. And if he can't be a winner as a Jew with the Rothschilds breathing down his neck, he'll be a heritage American winner. So maybe the war moves he's taken recently—bringing the special services under direct control of his new guys (patriots, after all the shits) and authorising hanging and firing squads for federal executions—are not a bad thing. So we might have to say that, like the curate's egg, he might be mostly an ultra-Zionist turd but he's good in spots. 

      • Taxi says:

        Many thanks for linking us to your well-researched and interesting article, dear Sarz. In my book, you don’t have to be born a jew, or be a covert to judaism to be jew. For me, soon as you help israel and its synagogue of satan, you automatically become a jew.

        Trump or Biden or Shmiden makes no difference whatsoever as far as I see it. Both belong to the synagogue of satan; both serve the klepto and warring horned one. Both are traitors!

        The only cure is to smash up tel aviv. You’ll see then how Rothschild’s MASSIVE investment in israel goes up in smoke while his brand-name stock concaves to a new low.

  28. Taxi says:

    How foolish are the Gulfie oil Arabs to think that 'normalization' with terrorist israel will provide them with security against Iran when jews will bring nothing but violence and insecurity right to their doorstep.  Hours after the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the terrorist Brits sent troops to protect Saudi oil fields and the dumb israelis were cancelling their airline tickets to UAE for fear of retaliation against israelis ‘vacationing’ inside of UAE.  Israel too went on high security alert in fear of Hezbollah's alert state of war.

    Jerusalem fears attacks on Israelis visiting UAE following Iran hit

    Neither sanctions nor assassinations can change the facts on the ground that favor the Axis of Resistance.  Assassinations that are basically symbolic and do nothing but 'hurt the feelings' of Iran are indicative of the desperation and weakness of the Axis of Evil.  They should just step up and start the big war already.  Oh right, they're afraid to do this.  They're afraid to die for their evil cause.  "Trying" to provoke a war is not the same as STARTING one!  It's merely pin-pricking a stone:

    The AngloZionists are trying to provoke a war with Iran

        Taxi's web site is suddenly 'visited' by Occupied Palestine crooks [and I'm sure when taxi digs deeper, a lot of agencies' alphabet soups s well], because the real truth has to be kept away and out of reach of the masses.

        Fortunately, and despite the jews trying to shut everyone up [google, youtube, fuckbook, etc.], more and more people are waking up to what's really going on.

        To the circumcised critters reading this: fuck you. Your time is up. Get a life jacket and be ready to jump into the Meds. You'll need both.

    • Taxi says:

      Actually, no, it aint the truth at all. Those who don’t understand that the BIG and ACCUMULATIVE payback is the total destruction of terrorist israel are just premature ejaculators after cheap thrills.

      Like the dad of an old friend used to say to us when we were spunky teens: The reward of patience is more patience. Understand this and you understand the Iranian mind.

      Four days ago, the Lebanese master analyst and Hezb and Iran insider, Anis Nakash, for the first time EVER told a discussion panel: “We (the Axis of Resistance) are extremely confident of our military position and of our victory. The big war that will destroy israel is coming within months, not years.” “Months, not years”, he reiterated to a stunned and joyful audience. Mr. Nakash is known for gravitas, not sensationalism.

      “Months, not years”, is my new slogan. Months, not frigging years! Oh man, I just love the sound of that!

        After is true glory [provided the fight is/was victorious].

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Whozhear. We don’t want the ‘deal’ to fall apart. We want all them crypto-jew Arab leaders to show their ugly-treasonous faces to the whole world so that when the big war comes, their own israel-hating, Pan Arab populations can ‘take good care’ of them. It’s them native rebels who will liberate the Arabian Peninsular from fascist Arab monarchies and jewish occupation.

  30. Taxi says:

    I really think an Iranian retaliation against israel for its assassination of Fakhrizadeh is certain.  Not only to establish a deterrence against jewish terrorism, but also, and this is just as important a calculation: also for Tehran to arrive with a higher measure of clout at the nuclear negotiation table with Biden.  Iran must sit at the negotiation table with added strength and conditions than before, and not with weak words, limp assertions and demands.  In other words, Iran has no choice but to respond in order to establish its point of strength at the negotiations.  The two events of Fakhrizadeh's assassination and the imminent nuclear negotiations are now inexorably interlinked.

    Therefore the Iranian retaliation against terrorist israel must take place before Biden's inauguration.

    Three questions remain:

    1-  What will the target be, and where will its location be, ie inside or outside of israel?

    2-  Will israel then respond to Iran's retaliation?  And if so, with or without Biden's green light?

    3- And if israel does respond, will that be the lighting of the fuse that will boom-boom the BIG WAR in the Levant that will end in the death of israel?

    How exciting!

    Today, I see it like this: Tehran will retaliate inside israel/israeli controlled territory.  Aipac and its media will then cry foul and the US jewy media will mind-control the American populace into baying for Iranian blood 'to save poor israel'.  The Deep Pentagon will then tell the israeli crying cunts to stfu already: that they'd brought the hit onto themselves and just to swallow the hit like the Deep Pentagon did with the Ein al-Assad retaliation cuz presently, the Deep Pentagon and Deep State have their hands full with keeping the American civil war from breaking out under Biden's early watch, and that starting a war with Iran, a war that may well drag in China and Russia will just weaken both Empire and the Republic: both already in inflamed crisis themselves.

    Can either China or Russia afford for Iran to lose in a war against the US?  No, they can't.  Both for geopolitical security reasons and also for Silk Road 2 trade reasons.  Russia and China will show meaningful support to Iran if ever a war between it and the US was to break out.  Always remember this, dear reader. 

    Now, back to the exciting thought that as I type this, Iranian military strategy eggheads are sat at their roundtable studying their list of israeli targets.  May they choose a fucking good one!

    Go one Iran, make the terrorist jews cry like Hezbollah made them cry!

    Good morning Taxi, there was some recent discussions recently concerning the assasination of Kennedy.  I convert of mine that I was able to bring in from the dark side, there aren't many sent me this video.  It is long, 3.5 hours but it is well worth the time.  Some is bullshit, they place control of the US gov at the feet of the Italian mafia, change that to ashkenazi bolsevik and he would have hit the jew on the head.  But there is a lot of research that went into this  and tons of data.  Want to know who the deep state is, who rules the empire, give this a look at the inside of the home of the free and land of the brave.

      It’s crazy how so many ‘smart’ Americans just won’t grab that slimy jew snake by the neck and throttle it! They just won’t go there aaaaarghhh!

      In a real sense, America and the world are still experiencing the reverberations of the jewish assassination of the Kennedys. Nothing but mounting evil vibes and deeds since then.

      • durlin says:

        It started way before Kennedy Taxi, I thought it was with the signing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 but the take over by the industrialaist's/central bankers predates even this.  And add MLK Jr to the Kennedy assasination, he was murdrerd by the same people.  MLK was killed because he was bringing the races together, deep state needs our society fractured and tribalized. Same template they have used all over the world, easier to control little groups of people, they have no chance against a unified country/society.

    Take a look at the jewy 'The National Interest' and what it has to say about Hezbollah.  Both articles below are written by satanic jews, of course.  Everything they say is actually the opposite of the truth – jews are masters of upsidedownism, fact-concealment and distortion of reality.  It's israel, in fact who is weak, hence its recent resorting to assassinations and covert terrorism (explosions, fires etc) instead of its usual war attacks on its neighbors.  Note that both articles do not provide direct quotes by Leb shias, plus the comment section for both articles are disabled: a clear mark of a propaganda campaign – they do not want commenters to provide links that debunk the content of the stories.  Remember the ultimate fact on the ground: the idf remain in hiding at the Leb border.  I don't call THAT a "weak horse", do you?

  34. sarz says:

    Taxi, the video of the Sayyid is disturbing to me for what might strike you as a silly reason. Shias like to wear rings set with turquoise or cornelian. It's considered auspicious. On the other hand, the wearing of gold is not considered appropriate for men. I remember Ayatollah Khomeini shaming a pretend-maulana for his gold watch. And yet here is this great warrior with his cornelian set in gold. Please ask your friends what gives. Is there a fatwa? My views don't amount to such but I do wish he would get his cornelian reset in silver. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz – and no worries are necessary. The ‘no gold for men’ is a koranic instruction and not specific to the Ayatollah’s fatwa. The ring that Nasrallah wears is an antique stone passed down through mullahs – the stone is a Yemeni ruby(?) and it’s set in what they call a ‘wet alloy’: silver, copper, bronze and brass – thus giving it a golden sheen.

      Apparently, wearing gold decreases potency of sperm (fragments sperm), while it increases estrogen levels in women. Google science pages confirm this.

      *(I’m laughing at all them bling-bling rappers singing about their studhood and sperm count while dripping in gold heh. Oh Mr. T!).

  35. sarz says:

    Taxi, thanks for the reminder that this is a Quranic instruction. It happens to be one that a recognised elder of Sayyid Nasrallah, Ayatollah Khomeini, took very seriously. It could be that the metal looks just like gold, even though it is actually 'base'. The injunction against gold is not for its magical or biochemical effects, but simply because of what it looks like. That's precisely why Sayyid Nasrallah should avoid that appearance.

    Another topic. Robert Fisk. 'The Angry Arab' (of Lebanese origin) has his say.

    • Taxi says:

      Earlier, a shia villager (in the know) explained to me the koranic medical concerns over men wearing gold – to be honest, I didn't believe him so I looked it up on the net and he is right about the negative health effects of gold on the male gender.

      Probably why so many crown-wearing monarchs had a hard time producing heirs: their crowns were made of chunky gold and they wore them from morning till bedtime and every day for years on end.

  36. sarz says:

    PS: The stone is not a ruby of any sort. It is cornelian, aqeeq, and is very much a Shia thing. Ask any friend from Hezbollah.

  38. Taxi says:

    From today's Xymphora:

    Even the 'racists' won't say it out loud, but I'm sure they have a unified conspiracy theory of the American election.  Sometime during the last month of the campaign, the Biden people started to panic.  The polls fed to the farm animals by the (((media))) are complete bullshit, but the parties both have access to real polling data.  The real polling data showed Trump was going to win (Biden was simply too terrible a candidate, and insulted the voters by taking them for granted by failing to bother to campaign, though of course his real reason for failing to campaign was senility, and the danger of publicly exhibiting its symptoms).  It was so bad it actually prompted the Biden apparatus to do the unthinkable at the last minute, and let Joe out of his locked basement to campaign for a couple of hours in front of a couple of people, but it was not enough.

    Time for Plan B.  Plan B certainly involves heaps of beyond-last-minute, fraudulently-harvested, mail-in ballot dumps, and probably also involves vote machine fraud (noting, for example, the connections of the Democrats and Dominion).  There's a problem, though.  You need to calibrate the amount of fraudulent votes needed at the last minute, or after the last minute, and that involves a large conspiracy of fraud enablers.  You need to do this after the last minute to ensure you don't make your candidate win by too much, as that would reveal the fraud (of course, the cumulative effect of all the malarkey is that Biden ended up with a ridiculously high country-wide vote total for such an uninspiring candidate).

    Remember when Bernie was way up, and Joe was floundering, and Barry summoned his peeps to come out on Super Tuesday to put the old shiv in Bernie?  Think of where the big counting is going on.  Big urban areas like Atlanta and Philadelphia.  Local black officials instructing black middle management electoral officials who manage largely black election workers, taking in big shipments of 'ballots' from black postal workers.  It is not difficult to see how it played out.  Biden is (somehow) seen as Barry II, and so any steps which can be taken would be taken.  Plan B is Plan Black.

    I'm sure there are a lot of people who see this, and wish it were otherwise, but the perceived necessity of getting rid of Trump means that the niceties of fair elections had to be thrown out the window (as well, I'm sure some Dems see this as just revenge for being robbed in 2000, as well as numerous other Republican cheating shenanigans over the years).  As we've seen, the Dominion Voting preparation, gathering together the various crooked components, including even a whitewashed Diebold (!), goes back to the first Barry Administration.  The mail-in ballot trick was enabled by the pandemic.  There is a simply enormous pile of anecdotal evidence of mass fraud, plus all the incongruous results for a candidate as utterly lackluster as Biden.  The question people will ask: how is such an organized conspiratorial effort possible?  The answer is the slaves' revenge.

    Thank you so much for this beautiful article, Taxi!

    Taxi said, December 1, 2020 at 9:17 am:

    Four days ago, the Lebanese master analyst and Hezb and Iran insider, Anis Nakash, for the first time EVER told a discussion panel: “We (the Axis of Resistance) are extremely confident of our military position and of our victory. The big war that will destroy israel is coming within months, not years.” “Months, not years”, he reiterated to a stunned and joyful audience. Mr. Nakash is known for gravitas, not sensationalism.

    Wow! Was this said on one of the Arabic news channels? Is there a streaming version of the discussion available online that you can link to?

    Thanks again for the great article, Taxi.. 🙂

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for your support and kind words, dear ZiojooistanSucks. Actually, Anis Nakash was on a zoom conference with a bunch of people asking him all sorts of geopolitical and economic questions (he’s a wiz at economics too). But, unfortunately, the session is in Arabic. I’ll link it below for Arabic-speakers – and his “months, not years” statement begins @ 1.25.00 mins in the video.

      Anis Nakash also happens to be a fine-art painter and an architect by profession. His mind therefore thinks in mathematical 3-D. He is a renaissance man as well as a freedom fighter who’s been in battle – also served ten years in a French jail for a botched attempted assassination of the Shah’s Foreign Minister in Paris (he got out thru a Hezb-France prisoner swap). He is exceptionally knowledgeable in world history, psychology, strategic warfare and geopolitics, and is constantly cross-referencing a wealth of information that allows you to see his analysis in 3-D. He shows you the full and rounded picture. There is no equivalent to him in the West. Oh yeah and he’s also on the US and israel’s terrorist list. What a super smart ‘terrorist’ wot lol!

  40. anti_republocrat says:

    All human beings, in fact all members of the animal kingdom, some say even trees, practice nepotism.  It's likely rooted our DNA which natural selection dictates should favor itself or those most closely related.  Nepotism is therefore not necessarily evil, nor even some favoritism for a slightly expanded family or tribe, especially if that tribe otherwise suffers discrimination.  It's one of the reasons for so many cops being Irish in Boston and New York.  The line is crossed when a lightly qualified member of the "tribe," not a close blood relative, is hired in preference to a clearly more qualified member of anOTHER "tribe."

    Such overt discrimination is typically justified by viewing the "tribe" as perpetual victim, with past discrimination justifying one's own present discrimination against an innocent bystander.  It is the view that two wrongs make a right, and it uses that perpetual victim status to shame other groups into helping with the discrimination, or at least ignoring it.  As Shulamit Aloni explained to Amy Goodman, "It's a trick; we always use it."  Part of the problem in the US is that "we" applies not just to Israelis or Zionists, but to what Taxi refers to correctly as "Jewish power" in general.

    The problem for the US to solve is, how do we neutralize the unfairness of such "Jewish power" without ourselves becoming bigots?  How do we confront demands for diversity in college admissions, which is a positive attribute for a student body to have, while insisting that ALL previously privileged groups, not just whites and Asians, should bear the cost of that diversity?  Jews as a group are the most privileged identity in the US.  Just look at the Supreme Court, Congress, the media, Hollywood and most other intellectual occupations.  Jews in the US suffer no more discrimination than Irish, Poles, or Italians and not significantly more hate crimes than Sikhs, Muslims or even Unitarians.  Thus, antisemitism is virtually non-existent, so how is Jewish power justified in accusing universities of antisemitism when their elite university admissions decline slightly as a result of increased preference for blacks and latinos?

    • Taxi says:

      Thank you for your comment, anti_republocrat.

      You make a cogent point but allow me please to disagree: not all humans are slanted towards nepotism. Some people lean towards justice above nepotism. This is the ‘Athenian’ way that is based on universalism and reason, as opposed to the ‘Jerusalemite’ way that is based on tribalism and prejudice. For example, if a member of my family is wrongfully accused of murder, then I will support them and even help them evade the law. But if they’re psychopaths who committed a horrific crime, then I am certainly going to inform on their whereabouts to the law. And if I am an owner of a business that’s looking to hire, family members would be the last of my pick because family members tend to break the chain of command (covertly or overtly) soon after they become ‘comfortable and secure’ in their employment. This, plus a relative who is also a disgruntled ex-employee will also create bitterness and division inside the family – dramas that could go on for years.

      For me, nepotism is regressive and corrupt – even dangerous to the cohesion of family/business/nation. Whereas adhering to the principles of justice is a threat only to criminals minds.

      Sure, there used to be a time in our ancient past where nepotism was a necessity for tribal survival, but, I don’t see it as a necessity in our modern times.

    The idiot jews thought that the acquisition of many illegal nukes, through theft and not through own-science, will actually save israel from attacks?  I guess they never thought that these jew nukes could easily be used against them.  Apparently, the Dimona is NOT the only israeli nuclear facility that will be targeted in the next war.

    *Must watch video in article below:

    It's a little ominous that the Hezb webzine linked above would produce and release the content of the above linked video.  I'm sure it's meant as a message to the jewish military honchos and their assassination activities and assassination threats of late.

  44. sarz says:

    Hi Taxi. I'm wondering what people in Lebanon say about the late Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi's convincingly argued thesis that the original homeland of the Jews and the location of the real Jerusalem was not Palestine but an area on the southwest coast of Arabia next to Yemen. You might say that after almost a century in Babylonian captivity, they landed up in the wrong place. Of course, such a thesis would get buried by our Judaic friends, but it strikes me that this is the germ of a solution to the occupation of Palestine. They can really go 'home', not to Madagascar or Birobidzhan or that territory (three times the area of 'Israel') in Argentina and Chile under control of Israeli security, but to their original homeland. It happens to be under the control of their crypto-brethren. Win-win. Unless of course the current natives have other ideas. (I am of course overlooking that most of them originate from the Ashkenazi villages of Anatolia.) 

    You can download the book for free from Z-Library. (https://b-ok.cc) Kamal Salibi, The Bible Came from Arabia 

    • MD says:

      Sarz,

      1. Some Israeli academics also think that the original location of the Biblical stories, land of the Israelites was Yemen.

       

      2. An Egyptian scholar, Ashraf Izzat feels that too.

      I am familiar with Dr Salibi's view that the location of the Biblical tales was in Yemen/southern Saudi (Asir province).

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, MD. Arab historians and traditional Arab history books written in Arabic are unmolested by jewish revisionism. Poor the West: everything they’ve read by jewish scholars has been but a distortion of facts that serve only the criminal, klepto jews.

        And yes, you are correct: the first Hebrew tribe was a Yemeni one. The first Hebrew house of worship was in Yemen. Too bad the terrorist israeli jews bombed plenty of jewish ruins in Yemen five years ago: it’s all dust and debris now: little proof remains of the origins of judaism. All this just to keep stealing Palestine with impunity.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz. Yeah I’ve heard of the book and its contents discussed in the Leb over the years, but only occasionally and by Leb writers, not by the general public – although some regular people seem to know of the fact that there used to be a town in Arabia called Jerusalem, but not in detail.

      And you’re too nice to be concerned with finding the jews their ‘true’ homeland. But really, Arabia is the homeland of Arab jews and not them euro fakesters hashing up terrorism and peddling fake IDs.

  45. Omid says:

    A complete, strong and clear plea, much needed.

    I enjoyed specially the following passages:

    “Hezbollah is noble, yet not royal.  Its warriors and leaders are essentially from working-class, farming communities …”

    “ … Steeped in a culture of martyrdom that’s inspired by the prophet Mohammad’s grandson Hussein and his agonizing martyrdom, a passion-cause and agony that’s parallel to the martyrdom culture of the Christian prophet Jesus, Hezbollah’s warriors are beyond the corruption of soul.”

    and then:

    “… Hezbollah’s leadership have even earnestly embraced and supported the resistance efforts of godless Lebanese communist groups fighting against the invading Jewish army.  They have broken bread with and befriended the godless and the godfull alike in the name of fighting and deterring a genocidal and kleptomaniac enemy.”

    “Hezbollah has successfully established itself as an army of the people, by the people, for the people.  And here lies the essence of its true popularity.”

    Thanks for providing such a record of identity.

    Taxi – when you have a chance would appreciate update on status of the Leb forming a new govt. under PM Saad Hariri – is there a legal time limit – what other Sunni candidate possible? Additionally, any news RE China-Leb and Syria-Leb relations? Thanks. Mike. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Mike. Some five days ago, it was announced that the forming of a new government will now be delayed till March 2021, as Hariri failed to form one after 44 days of trying. President Aoun on the same day announced that he’s giving caretaker PM Diab added powers in order to grease the wheels of government in the meantime, especially with regards to resolving the financial crisis. This was a presidential order and not a constitutional one – perfectly legal for a Leb president to do in times of crisis. This means that the French ‘deal’ (IMF, US, saudi and israel) has collapsed and the Leb politicians are only paying lip service to it. Between now and March 2021, another sunni candidate may come through or not – we will have to wait and see. But this allotted interim time gives everyone, including Hariri, some oxygen and more elbow room to find a new configuration for the formation of a new government.

      • Mike-Florida says:

        Thanks, Taxi. Most interesting this time-out action by President Aoun for a special period until March, with Hariri on hold. Question > during this period does Aoun have the authority to order departure assistance to any and all Syrian refugees who wish to return and are so approved by Syria govt? If so, will he do so – and if not why not? Thanks. Mike.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, dear Mike. Aoun supports the immediate return of Syrian refugees back to Syria, and he also supports the re-opening of trade between Lebanon and Syria, but unfortunately, these decisions are constitutionally in the hands of the PM. If you recall, it was Hariri’s old government, on instruction from US embassy back in 2014, that froze the return of refugees back to Syria, and it was him too who closed the trade route between Lebanon and Syria: under the pretense of boycotting/isolating Bashar for ‘using chem weapons on his own people’ bullshit etc.

    Hi Taxi – further exploring the Leb's Syrian refugee return situation > "Lebanon is currently home to 892,000 registered Syrian refugees, and has the highest per capita population of refugees in the world." (from below link)

    So, for the past 6 years these refugees have been trapped in Leb camps via non-release authorization by Hariri as PM. What about the time Diab was PM – what was reason he did not so order  their release back to Syria?

    Latly – what incentive has the Leb for preventing their return? What a shame the Leb allowing this. Thanks for shedding some light on this sad issue, Taxi. Mike.

    Not only are we living in the most dangerous time ever, but also the weirdest ever.

    What to do?  Look up at the night sky every now and then.  Watch a dew drop wobble on the back of a garden snail.  Simple things like that, of this nature, will give one a sense of wonder, a reminder that life itself is bigger than Covid.  And no, don't take a picture, instead, do it again.  Every day.  Watch the steam rising out of your tea cup.

    The government’s investigators issued a subpoena to ex prime minister Diab in connection to the port explosion.  Do you expect Hizbollah to take a stand in his defence as I suspect this could be an attempt at settling old political scores?

     

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks Joe, and welcome to Plato’s.

      Diab and Aoun both received reports of the presence of ammonium nitrate in the port on July 20th, years after it just sat there in the hanger. The explosion took place on the 4th August, some two weeks after the report arrived at the leaders’ desks. Methinks the timing of the explosion happened because the terrorist jews knew that Diab and Aoun would both work diligently to remove the ammonia from the port, therefore they exploded it to their advantage before it could be removed.

      I have no doubt that the Hezb sees the situ as I stated above. The judge Fadi Sawan who issued the subpoena is accused by Diab of breaking the Leb constitution: overstepping the role of the Parliament of Lebanon, which has a specialized court for the trial of top officials. So already the stink of a legal setup is upon the Leb, a set up parallel to that of the Hariri assassination.

      In light of the above, I very much doubt that the Hezb would play along with this theater of the absurd. Therefore, to answer your question, I personally think they WILL take a stand in Diab’s defense – and in support of justice. After all, records show that it was on Najib Mikati’s watch that the deadly ammonium arrived at the port, and it was under Hariri’s watch thereafter that it stayed there till Diab took office. Diab is but a Johnny Come Lately into the equation, plus, everything about the port explosion stinks of jew terrorism.

      In my estimation, proof of every evil done onto the Lebanon by terrorist israel is to be found not at the crime scene, but in the electronic files of the mossad headquarters.

      Hack it and you will there find it.

      Better still, massively bomb the fuck out of it – kill all the mass murderers inside that global terrorist organization.

      Hezbollah issued the following statement commenting on the judge’s verdict regarding the Beirut Port blast and the prosecution against caretaker prime minister and the three former ministers:

      1- We reaffirm our full and righteous support for the impartial and transparent judicial investigation into the horrific crime – the port explosion. In addition to the disclosure of all parties or individuals responsible for it, whoever they are, and their prosecution and the imposition of the harshest sentences and punishments against them, in order to achieve justice to the martyrs and moral compensation for their families and for all the wounded; an issues that would give the Lebanese hope in the midst of the difficult circumstances our country and people are going through.

      2- We assert our keenness on the right of the Lebanese people to know the whole truth behind the crime – starting with the arrival of the ship carrying the explosive materials to the port, the parties that own it and knowledge of the shipment’s final destination; the reasons behind the shipment remaining all those years in the port wards; the causes of the explosion, and whoever stands behind it; in addition to any other cause of negligence, corruption or mismanagement on the part of those who have any direct or indirect role in this serious crime, based on their hierarchical position of those responsible.

      3- We uphold the need for the investigation not to be lost in the maze of administrative procedures, routine impediments and legal problems – for fear that the evidence disappears, the criminals are at large and the truth is lost; henceforth, unreliable suspicions, unsupported accusations and incorrect allegations float to the surface, so the investigation falls between the corridor of politics, the provocation of public protests and the clamor of the media at the expense of truth, justice, law and the blood of martyrs.

      4- We stress our keenness to ensure that all procedures are far from politics and in conformity with the provisions of the constitution and are not subject to interpretations. Hence, prosecution must be based on logical and legal grounds, which we did not find that in the recent procedures. Therefore, we categorically reject the absence of uniform standards which led to what we believe to be an unfair politicized targeting of people, accusing individuals and exempting others from bearing responsibility of the crime based on unjust measures.

      Unfortunately, this will lead to delaying the investigation and trial instead of reaching a final and just judicial ruling. Therefore we call on the competent investigating judge to re-approach the dossier and take legal measures to ensure that the truth is reached founded on unified non-politicized standards, in a way that reassures the Lebanese people of the course of this case, because the port crime is a serious national issue.

      Hezbollah Denounces Beirut Port Blast Verdict: We Did Not Find Logical Or Legal Grounds in Investigation Procedures

      • Taxi says:

        Moreover, earlier tonight, Saad Hariri gave a televised statement while flanked by both Lebanese flags and no less than PM Hassan Diad, the accused himself. Hariri’s statement was brief but sincere, lending full support to Diab in the face of the absurd subpoena and the unconstitutional direction of the investigation. He asked that the investigation ceases politicizing the case, and for it to continue forward in a constitutional and legal manner.

        Indeed, he expressed strong support to Diab, as did a wide spectrum of other Leb politicians too.

        The ball is now in judge Fadi Sawan’s court, but he’d better be careful: seems like even Diab’s political enemies are behind him and the judge just might find himself out of a job if he continues in this preposterous and maddening direction.

        In hood parley, Hariri said to Sawan: back off motherfucker!

    A poet would seem but a meek reed in the face of a powerful politician.  I mean this in context of influence.  But this is not the case.  Both smart and deviant politicians have regularly employed quoting poetry for added romanticized appeal.  Take Kennedy, and that Obama, for example.  Using poetry gave their speeches an ideological effervescence.  Interestingly, few and far between poets quote politicians in their poems.  And when they do, it's not exactly zingy.  Can we here therefore deduce that politicians need poets more than poets need politicians?  Poetry here as transcendent politics?  Of course!  An example:

    our educational system tells us
    that we can all be
    big-ass winners.

    it hasn't told us
    about the gutters
    or the suicides.

    or the terror of one person
    aching in one place
    alone

    untouched
    unspoken to

    The SCOTUS (Supreme Court of The United States) recently dismissed a case bought by Texas against another US state over the presidential elections. I don't want to go in to the intricacies of the case but what is important to note is this.

    1) This was an inter-state dispute in the (not so) United *States.

    2) I don't think it is any accident that the Republicans/Team Trump got Texas to do this. Texas is often said to be the most independent-minded state in the union and I've read (not sure if it's true) that legally Texas is the only state which is entitled to secede (some might dispute that).

     

    3. Half of US states, the red states officially publicly sided with Texas on this law suit, a lot of other blue states sided with Pennsylvania.

    This almost has a slightly Yugoslavian tone to it.

     

    4. After Texas lost its court case, the chairman of the Republican party floated the idea of Republican states quitting the union.

     

    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/529926-texas-gop-chair-appears-to-suggest-secession-after-scotus-rejects

    Though I don't think this will happen any time soon, I think we may be witnessing the embryonic stages of any future dissolution of the USA.

     

    If not dissolution at least a fundamental restructuring whereby the different states (blue or red) can 'enjoy' the imperial benefits of the US empire, e.g. global military presence, dollar as reserve currency and be one entity in terms of foreign policy/empire but internally be different states/countries. I don't know how they square that circle and if it would be looser than a EU style arrangement.

     

    As Canthama and other regulars from Syrper might know I've been warning about the increasing polarisation between the left and right in the US for a few years now and their increasingly irreconcilable nature. It's only getting worse with talk of tribunals for people involved with Trump from the left, and talk of secession and civil war from the right.

    Now I wouldn't take any of this seriously, and Biden is just a standard establishment politician, but I think things in the US are going to continue on this downward trajectory.

     

    @Canthama and others your thoughts are appreciated on this matter.

    • Canthama says:

      MD, good to hear from you.

      For some time I thought a global collapse would happen between late 2018 and 2023, due to several reasons and one particular one being the US meltdown, I thought it would start with the Dollar and never thought it would start with a rigged election for all to see, so clearly rigged. 

      Have been pointing to a possible civil war in the US for some time, not like the 19th century one, but really some sort of uncontrollable popular unrest, and the seeds are all there, lots of weapons, militias from all sides armed to their teeth, a rigged election that will divide the population and create a huge division in the country that won't be solved with enforced police state, a diving economy, millions of unemployed people, the destruction of the middle class, hundred of thousands of small businesses closed for good, hospitality business total collapse, hunger among many other things, all the seeds are there, and the spark to ignite it to hell is approaching, which one will spark I honestly do not know, but it is coming and we still have 2021, 2022 and 2023…I bet 2021 will be a terrible year in the US which will build up to a much worse in 2022, I wish it could be different but it won't be. I recall every time my American friends asked me about some sort of advice back when I lived in the US, I always told them to pay their debts and be totally debt free…that will be handy now.

        Muito obrigado (thanks a lot) Canthama.

         

        1. The 2008 credit crunch was the last big recession. Everyone knew another big 'bust' in the 'boom and bust' capitalist cycle was soon or even overdue. 2020 did see an economic collapse but one that can be 'attributed to covid'.

        2. Americans here can correct a non-American like me but I concur with what Taxi herself said a while back, red America is fully armed. Aside from imagining the army and security forces acting on behalf of any possible leftist regime, there is no comparison. The US non-coastal interior is red (right wing) and armed. Antifa are a tiny group, artificially propped up by either 'the elite' or a section of the elite and consist of many trust fund babies of wealthy and influential upper middle class parents. If we discount the army and police, BLM and antifa would stand no chance.

         

        3. What will happen in 2021?

        Biden (if he succeeds in getting the presidency which he looks like he will) will be seen by half of America as an illegitimate president who stole the elections, a controversial character. That coupled with lockdowns and economic poverty will increase anger even more and will accelerate polarization and possible future dissolution/secession.

        If Trump wins (i.e. he manages to use certain legal methods to ensure that congress rather than the electoral college chooses the president), the left too will be enraged.

         

        It's a lose-lose.

        Part of me even suspects that the occultist powers that be are deliberately trying to engineer the end of the (dis) United States? Excessively conspiratorial or paranoid? Who knows.

         

        4. I know Taxi's focus is on the middle east and particularly the Levant. So the US going down is not good news for Israel.

        Who ever is president in 2021, be it Biden, Kamala Harris (replacing Biden after a short period), Trump will not attack Iran. Iran is way, way too strong. They've also failed to fan a civil war in Lebanon and the EU for one doesn't want one, nor the resultant thousands if not millions of refugees flooding from there.

    • Saladin says:

      Hi MD. I concur with what Canthama said in his reply. I believe we have seen the last US presidential election (at least as the US is currently configured.) Yes, states will secede. I have no doubt. As to the time frame, certainly over the next ten years. Possibly seriously moving that way in the next 2-4 years. I live in California, a very blue state. Most people are still oblivious to what is coming down, due to the brainwashing of corporate propaganda and the censorship of Big Tech. People are “protected” from the truth. My conservative friends speak in whispers about their support of Trump. I supported him also (for all his profound flaws) because he was the only thing standing in the way of the “great reset” coming out of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum. Much of the US is currently living in a dictatorship, probably not unlike East Germany. Not quite so severe, maybe in some ways worse. 40-50% of small businesses have closed or will close. This is by design. Smash the middle class, kill out small businesses, and “build back better.” (motto of the great reset crowd.) They will fail but the havoc they create will be shattering to our way of life, on a global scale. Their goal is to eliminate cash, go all digital currency, and have people live off Guaranteed Basic Income. This will gut the inner cities and lead to unprecedented social upheaval.

      Traitorous politicians, mostly Dems but also Repubs, will allow the US to lose its sovereignty and be merged into a UN governed global marxist state. At least, they will attempt that. This will trigger the secession of states and a US civil war. Unlike 1861-1865 when 11 southern states seceded, this will not be a war with two opposing armies facing off on the field of battle, as in that incredibly bloody conflict. But there will be violence for sure. Such as Antifa versus patriot groups such as the Proud Boys and other patriot militias. These groups skirmished in DC this weekend. 

      The US will decline. The dollar will decline, though it may yet rally strongly though briefly. Lockdowns will continue next year, but resistance will grow sharply. It is already; for example the recall movement to kick out Cal governor Newsome is growing. A quarantine is when you strict the movement of sick people. To restrict the movement of healthy people is tyranny. We are governed by tyrants, but they will fall and be executed by angry mobs. 

      The red states will be the leading states in the future. Already there is massive exodus from the blue states, as people wake up. Many Silicon Valley companies are relocating to Texas or Florida. The stupidity of the socialists, who believe you can just raise taxes to cure a problem or raise revenue, will backfire as people and corporations leave the blue states. I see this exodus first hand. My wife and I have already purchased a home in a red state and will one day move, probably soon. The blue states will collapse into economic chaos and severe decline. It is happening now. I believe the red states, at least certain areas, will experience an economic boom and cultural renaissance. But the days of the US as THE global superpower are soon to be over. China will likely replace the US as the world’s dominant economic power. 

      Briefly I will add, the election was obviously stolen. Millions of votes stolen in unprecedented fraud. Corporate news is deceiving the people and the Supreme Court has failed in its Constitutionally appointed role. The truth will eventually come out. This will further fan the flames of revolt and secession.

       

      • MD says:

        Hi @Saladin 

         

        Thanks for taking the time out to provide such detailed replies. I appreciate it.

        1. Yes, I'm familiar with people leaving California e.g. there's been a lot of fanfare on social media about Joe Rogan leaving and going to Texas (huge personality and biggest podcaster in the world) and Elon Musk too.

         

        California was a red state seeing the likes or Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger as governors. Now it's seen as irreversibly, eternally blue partly due to the Mexican (Latino is a very broad term encompassing very diverse groups who may see each other as alien e.g. the pro-Republican white European Cubans of Florida to Mestizo Mexican origin Democrats) community there + white liberals.

        I'm sure our host Taxi obviously has much more real life human experience of the realities of California than some non-American like me.

         

        2. America prides (or 'prided'?) itself on being the land of the free and in the not so distant past for an American to say I support president or politician X or Y would have been seen as normal and it would have been seen as praiseworthy or civilised to respect that person's political preference, however we now live in an era whereby to say you support a certain democratically elected president is akin to being viewed as a fascist, a criminal.

        Trump, despite his inevitable flaws, is pretty much a standard president. He was going to legalise the dreamers, never implemented a 'Muslim ban' (something Obama started), never deported as many immigrants as Obama did, never did anything against the black community (George Floyd style incidents happened during the Obama era and Obama is criticized by certain blacks for doing nothing against certain rogue elements of law enforcement).

        So basically for 'MAGA' to be declared as essential hate speech (almost akin to Nazi paraphernalia) and provocative by some left wing teachers and for people to 'whisper' about their support of Trump shows how bad things are. It's  not just in the US, here in the UK the liberal left (who are a minority in real life but promoted by the media) attacked JK Rowling for merely expressing the fact that 'transgenders' are not real women.

         

        3. I could write endlessly but I don't want to be too verbose, so I'll make one more point.

        Many Americans and others didn't / couldn't appreciate the suffering of people in the developing world at the hands of American soldiers (Vietnam, Iraq etc) or US-installed dictatorships/regimes (south America) or the problem of 'colour revolutions' (bought to you by the CIA). They lived in a country that was propserous, happy (in the main) and 'free' and civilized. Now they are experiencing a small fraction of what others are enduring including a possibly stolen election (I say possibly because I'm pretty sure it was and that even previous elections saw dubious practices or outright rigging but when asked by a non-brainwashed friend of mine here in the UK for concrete proof I couldn't produce any directly, though I know there were multiple, outrageous acts of dubious behaviour which have provoked shock amongst half of American society).

        The America that many knew and loved no longer exists, the America that a right-wing former military commander like Allen West (the guy who floated the idea of Republican states seceding but now claims he didn't) no longer exists. Once love for something ceases or for something that no longer exists , you discontinue trying to preserve it and accept it is no longer there but was a thing of the past, to be remembered with fondness and nostalgia. That is what is happening in the US.

        Those Americans who stand up to globalists and thwart their plans for a major global restructuring of the world and the end of the nation-state should have the respect and support of all decent people around the world.

    The Brits invented the term 'fair play' because they are the nastiest, double-crossing motherfucking hypocrite goy cunts.  They are a mere handful of degrees less evil than the jews.  This makes them the most evil of all goy.  Thus, we understand the enduring and close relationship between the terrorist Rothschild dynasty and the unelected terrorist Brit Deep State, a relationship that's even longer than that between the jews and the yanks by some 150+ years.  The evil Brit Deep State loves the evil jews – they are so very impressed by jewish evil – they want to emulate it for their own benefit. They bow to the jewish satan.  Forevermore.

    Let us remember here that it was the colonialist Brits who brought scalping to north America.  They mass murdered half of Africa.  It was the imperialist Brits who intentionally turned the majority of Chinese into opium zombies.  The Brits who fucked up India and turned its people into sectarian oafs.  Let’s not even talk about the atrocities the terrorist Brits committed against the Irish! The snarling Brits were the very educators of DC-ers in the dark arts of hypocrisy and double-speak.  Currently remain partners with satanic jews engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the genocide of Yemenis.  Brit kleptomaniacs will not stop throttling the middle east while smiling at suffocating Arabs.  I'm talking Great Britain that stole from the whole goddamn slaughtered corpses of third world countries, only to remain a poor and broke nation itself.  Where the fuck did all the loot and goodies go?!  Ah Rothschild bankers in partnership with the Brit royals and elites.  Brit elites who steal even from their own downtrodden – and their downtrodden likewise steal from each other.  Yeah the Brit is your archetypal human weasel – yellow teeth and all.

    But is it fair of me to consign all Brits to the above description?  No, it isn't.  I know some good Brits – and I've also lived there for a third of my life.  With clarity, I am specifically referring to Brit politicos and to Brit voters who vote for anyshitbody!  They vote wrong and keep their evil Deep State greased.  Same as in the US and pretty much in all Western nations – a Western cabal that has been running the world since before I was born and running it to extinction in slo-mo while the 3rd world especially suffers the agonies of enforced poverty and regressive societies due to shameless Western looting and murderous political conspiracies.  The voters, otherwise known as 'the people' are not so innocent in my book.  Adults are responsible for their decisions and actions.  Blaming only 'the government' is but a copout!  I refuse to be the voters' fucking nanny excusing them for bad behavior and wiping their stinky arses for them!  I blame the people first!  They voted in the evil after all – time and time again they pick the same evil choice.  It's them!  The perpetuaters!  The 'people'!  The dumb evil enabling the calculating evil.  Without them, without 'the people' participation and perpetuation, the wheels of evil would soon enough go rusty.  So I have no qualms calling the Brit voters, as I do the American voters, hateful dumb members of the evil web of fake democracies that's currently spun around the world.  And the Brits who are ruled by a globally powerful monarchy actually have the temerity to call their nation a 'democracy'?!  What kind of three-card-Monty is being played here on British political society and the world at large?!  Man, so many people have drank the Brit democracy koolaid!  What an oxymoronic nation!  Hiding behind the facade of democracy while simultaneously bowing to a monarch and while covertly and overtly shaking their Supremacist imperialism stuff around the 3rd World.  They think they're smarter than everyone on the planet.  They crack jokes about 'the stupid Americans and stupid Arabs and Africans and Indians and Pakistanis etc' – all the time they do this.  They're like the jews in this regard: thinking they're smarter than everyone else.  But, as it turns out, and just like the jews, the Brits are evidently not as smart as the Lebanese – even in their battered state, the Lebs have proved smarter.  The terrorist Brits misread the Lebs completely as their evil conspiracies fail:

      Thanks, Mike. Macron is coming to Lebanon to visit French UNIFEL troops stationed at the south Leb border. He lands in Beirut airport, goes from there to the borders for a ‘special xmas’ greeting of French troops, returns to Beirut to spend the night at the Presidential Palace, wakes up the following day and heads back to airport. No official meetings with anybody have been penciled in for him.

      Regarding the formation of a new government: Hariri submitted a list of his cabinet and it was rejected by Prez Aoun because it basically comprised of nothing but Hariri ‘people’ – no hezb members and no Aounist were included on the Hariri list and seeing that the Hezbies and Aounists form the majority, president Aoun dumped it. Back to square zero now in this regard.

      Regarding the financial crisis: not a single move has been made to avoid further slippage. Word is that Aoun has a ‘Chinese plan’ that he will propose when the regional political atmosphere permits, ie Aoun is waiting to see if Biden would first lift sanctions or not.

    It has been a year and a half since I have visited Lebanon, and I do not know if I will ever be able to return.

In your linked article, only about a third of his info is correct and common knowledge, and his conclusion is most certainly wrong. The Leb middle class has not been wiped out. Half the population is poorer but not starving. He says the Lebs destroyed their own country, then follows with ‘it’s US-israel-France-UK’ who are destroying it. Simply, yes, Lebanon has been battered hard and horrifically this year, but so long as its president is a patriot (Aoun is a patriot) and Hezbollah remains standing on its feet (which it is), Lebanon will remain intact as this checks any actual invasion by israel and its allies. In the near future, there will not be an israel for it to take over the Litani River, and as we can see for ourselves, major Western nations who support isreal are themselves collapsing.

      What is currently being inflicted on Lebanon is ‘war by other means’: going to actual war with Lebanon will cause the actual destruction of tel aviv. The enemies of Lebanon know this only too well and this is precisely what has kept the Leb’s heart beating. Without going to actual war, Lebanon, for the time being remains in suffering but not in the grave. Despite the ruinous political class, there remains a high and palpable level of patriotism in Leb’s civil society.

      I expect huge upheavals in the middle east in 2021. It will leave the natives crippled, but their enemies will be successfully evicted from the region. The price of true freedom.

      Merry Christmas, Arius.

    Cyber-war on Israel? ‘Iran-linked’ hacker group claims to have breached Israel Aerospace Industries’ servers

    'Trump is crazy': Hezbollah sees threat in US president's final days

    But really, folks, what’s hysterically crazy is this here below:

    • Taxi says:

      RE the ‘cyber’ link above: Iran experts and Leb analysts (operating out of DC) are saying that the latest cyber attack on the US is one of the “biggest and deepest”. The US is deeply troubled by it because, after decades of claiming and asserting global superiority in hi-tech cyber defense and advancement, the recent attack appears to have dethroned DC from this lofty and vital position. DC and the Pentagon are also troubled because apparently, they cannot as of yet determine the scale of the damage of the hackattack, and that also, they have found indications that the hackers also left undetectable ‘sleeper-cell viruses’ that can be activated at a later stage and at the whim of the hacker. This most recent cyberattack is being downplayed when reported on in the jewy media, when it is literally tantamount to losing a big ground battle where practically all your soldiers die. The security of US classified info is now compromised in too many intel departments and agencies, including that of several US nuclear and gas plants. A mouse-click can now explode a gas plant without the need for a long-range precision missile. You can actually win a war through cyberattacks and without firing a single bullet. The massive trunk of hacked info may very well also find itself being sold by the hacker to interested parties.

      In other words, it’s a fucking disaster and EVERYTHING now has to be reconfigured and re-secured. EVERYTHING!

      While the orange jewce prez is busy clinging on to the WH and issuing more and more sanctions against Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, Lebanon and Syria, his ‘war by other means’ is being successfully countered in cyberspace. Iranian brains did last week manage to breach and acquire a humongous amount of classified US intel, putting the heebeejeebeez in the cunt hearts of the Axis of Evil. Meanwhile, the Axis of Evil keeps strutting its ‘assassination skills’ in the msm as if it still rules the waves. Somebody needs to tell our DC morons that monkey-dancing with rhythmless jews does not a fucking talent contest win!

      WTF??? Who are these fake arabs and what are they smoking??? Israelis are heroes??

      • Taxi says:

        WTF indeed, dear Cloak! They are actually real Arabs from UAE – brainwashed to the bone and part and parcel of the propaganda PR cooperation between Netanyahu and MBZ, ruler of UAE and his ‘normalization’ deal with israel’s iranophobic project. NOBODY in UAE is allowed to say ANYTHING bad about the jews over there. My English friends who live in UAE have stopped watsapping me vids of Palestinians being harassed and murdered by israeli security forces for fear of getting a knock on their door in the middle of the night and ‘disappearing’ in some jail. It’s baaaaaad, really-very-really bad. But, you can expect these treasonous Arab leaders to lose their throne in the next war. MBZ has stupidly backed the wrong horse out of absolute and utter Iranophobic paranoia, and not out of sober calculation. He thinks tel aviv can protect him against non-existent Iranian aggression when the idf itself remains in hiding at the Leb border due to fear of little Hezbollah. Let’s just say that coward regimes magnetize towards one another and so therefore together they will die. And not a day too soon. Keep your seatbelt on, it’s about to get volcano-hot between the Axis of Evil and the Axis of Resistance inside a handful of months. War, the great equalizer, will punish those whose defense strategy is moronic.

        In the video, even the israeli interviewer is himself stunned to hear the UAE scumbags call the idf “heroes” and helpers of “children”, especially that on the same day of the interview, the idf for absolutely no reason had actually shot dead a 14 year old Palestinian boy on his birthday.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes

    The MSM is full of zio puppets, with one hand on the Dynamic News Manipulation for Israel (DNMI) bot. Despite that, both Israel and our Deep State (sayanim) are finding themselves increasingly in the news, and not in a positive way. These are night flowers that wither in sunlight. My imprecise metrics for monitoring this is supported by the greatly increased number of American hoi polloi who are significantly aware of what has been going on with the power cabal that has hijacked our country while they slept.

    Interestingly, I am not hearing the term Revolution anywhere, not anymore. The new banner seems to be Secession! This is a plausible outcome, and may even be a desirable one. The power cabal has cunningly, and very successfully, split this country almost smack down the middle, by brainwashing the afore-mentioned hoi polloi to not understand that the two major political parties are merely the two sides of the same coin, all zio puppets. So, as our moronic citizenry bicker and attack each other, while sending a chunk of their paycheck to Israel, they are effectively allowing the bad guys to execute their diabolical and disgusting strategy of world domination.

    So, we have about 175 million standing on the red square, and almost as many standing on the blue square. It would be a folly to assert that the two sides can be reconciled, given how divergent and incompatible their philosophies are. Some examples of these include one side wanting to preserve the concept of nation states, while the other wants to destroy it, and, one side wants to shrink the government, while the other wants to drastically enlarge it, etc.

    Not sure how we would divide the nation. Most of the population are on the two coasts, as is most of the nation's wealth. If California was an independent country, we would be the sixth richest country. The rest of the people are in fly-over states.

    So, let's stipulate that this is not only possible, but significantly probable. The first challenge would be to get people to the chunk of land that has the same philosophy as they do.

    What happens after equilibrium is reached, and people are in their correct group?

    Since each half contains a homogeneity of philosophies, it should be very fast to achieve two nations, which disagree with each other, but are completely in agreement on most important issues. Suddenly, the government of both these nascent nations find themselves unable to fight wars because their respective people wield an abhorrence for military adventures, and since their philosophies are aligned, this doesn't even need to be debated, since its rightness is obvious.

    This is the beginning of the end for Israel.

     

     

    To be continued in a few days.

     

    • Taxi says:

      MERRY CHRISTMAS, dear Cloak. And thank you for your thought-provoking comment. When you talk about secession, just be mindful that the fucking jews don’t end up claiming NY State for themselves, nay the whole of the East Cost by force! They will probably try taking over California too.

      … And that limp dick we call ‘Florida’.

      • Cloak And Dagger says:

        Hope you are feeling better, Taxi.

        I think they will have better luck in taking over New York than California (except for Hollywood and parts of Silicon Valley) because they already control most of it – however, I have a feeling that as Americans become super aware of the JQ, it can become the death knell for world zionism. Many innocents will suffer as well, and Jews everywhere should regard this seriously and move to the right side of history by joining us in the fight against tyrants and slave makers. If you are a jew, consider yourself warned that you are likely to go down with these evil people, unless you make an effort to get off the Titanic and come help us eradicate the vermin that infest the core of our institutions.

        Antisemitic? Maybe. My first impression when I meet someone jewish is one of caution until I get to know them. I have several jewish friends that got this treatment when we first met, but over the years, they have demonstrated that they condemn Israel, and all the zionists (including Biden and Trump) and have even joined us in protest rallies against the illegal occupation of Palestine.

        So, my response to accusations of antisemitism is always: "I don't hate you for what you are or what you were born with. I will not hate you for what you are beyond your control, however, I shall absolutely hate you for what you have done and continue to do. Yes, I voiced the politically incorrect word: hate, it is completely justified. Call me a hater, and I will wear it like a badge of honor.

        I have many Jewish people I know for years, they all have this certain blindness regarding the "invincibility of IDF" and a clear sense they "can do anything and will get away with it", I mean literally they all think that. 

        In my view, as long as they keep thinking the above, they are doomed, this is by far their greatest weakness, presumption and arrogance, no matter in what country they are, they are taught these things.

        It seems, if they wake up, it will be too late, they made many enemies around the world that are waiting the right time to strike, and this time is fast approaching.

      • Cloak And Dagger says:

        @CANTHAMA

        I agree, and it is already too late. They have repeatedly screwed the pooch. Everyone says they are so smart! Maybe they are (I don't think so, I can run rings around most of them), but if they are, they have a long and fetid history of doing really dumb things, e.g. making enemies of all their neighbors and continuous murder, arson, destruction of property of an occupied nation.

        The bowstring of Karma is drawn taut. When released the arrow will be unstoppable. It may not happen today, and it may not happen tomorrow, but happen it will. The laws of physics demand it. Karma is one crazy bitch with its hair on fire.

        So their smarts haven't figured out one of Newtons laws of motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I would go further to say that a pending action across decades is a terrible thing to behold once it is no longer pending. When they least expect it, expect it.

    Last night, Nasrallah gave a FOUR HOUR interview with Ghassan Bin Jeddo (director of Al-Mayadeen TV), as part and parcel of the TV station's week-long commemoration of General Suleimani's assassination.  It was a spontaneous interview, with Nasrallah responding to questions without notes in hand and without a teleprompter.  Can you imagine Trump or Biden giving such an interview for four long hours and remaining cogent?  Why they'd both be babbling nonsensically by the second hour: their small brains drained and unable to cope with the vast mind-scape required to withstand the length and variety of topics addressed in the interview – admittedly, Biden more discombobulated than Trump.  As usual, Nasrallah was most dignified, honest, relaxed and informative.  To be truthful here, I fell asleep from tiredness in the 3rd hour of the interview (it began at 8pm and I tend to hit the sack around 9pm).  I will watch it all again this morning, and of course, again, as usual, go on a daily hunt of looking for the interview with English subs, or, searching for a full text of it in English.  But in the meantime, Alahednews has this article on it:

    Sayyed Nasrallah Vows Punishment for Every Crime: Hezbollah’s Guided Missiles More than Doubled

    Nasrallah is scheduled to give a televised speech on the 3rd of January, 2021, the date of the first anniversary of the assassination of General Suleimani.

    • Taxi says:

      When asked by the interviewer last night whether he [Nasrallah] is open to a covid vaccination, he responded with: “Honestly, I haven’t given it any thought, but, of course I will follow my doctors’ advice on this, and if they recommend I take an anti-corona vaccination, then I will… but, it won’t be one that’s made in the US.”

    • Taxi says:

      Well, I’ve by now seen the 4 hour interview in full. It would be an insane writing-translating task for me to take on the dissemination of its full content. Plus, I’m still digesting some of the geostrategic implications of what Nasrallah said in this epic interview. Revelations, secrets and confirmations were its main features. But, let me here, while I have a little free keyboard time right now, attempt to relay some of the major points, off the top of my (rushed) head – here goes:

      1- Hezbollah has (amazingly!) doubled its precision missile stock in this past year.

      2- MbS of saudi arabia requested/hired Trump and the fucking jews to assassinate Hassan Nasraallah. When reminded of the explosive reaction to such an assassination, MbS offered to “pay for the damage to israel and for the war itself” that such a risky adventure might cause. The US, israel and saudi arabia continue in this terroristic collusion.

      3- When Syrian troops left the Lebanon back in 2005, its military secretly left a large stockpile of Russian Kornets in Hezbollah’s hands, so that Hezbollah can effectively defend Lebanon against any sudden and opportunistic israeli invasion or territorial aggression. Bashar had bought the Kornets from the Russians, and then gifted them to Hezbollah without informing the Ruskies, for fear that Moscow would not agree to such a (necessary) generosity that lays outside of their arms contract with Syria. As it happens, this stockpile of Kornets came in extremely handy and timely in the 2006 war: being responsible for destroying almost all 124 israeli Merkavas on Lebanese soil. Did the Russians posthumously chastise Syria for its gift to Hezbollah that greatly contributed to their momentous victory on the battle field against the idf? Did the Russians get freaked out that its so-called ‘friend’ israel got a serious and humiliating whooping at the hands of Hezbollah’s warriors using Russian weapons? No,sir, they didn’t. No, madam, they didn’t at all. The Russians were beaming from happiness at this news and grateful for the great and free advertising the Russian makers of the Kornet benefited from – sales of Russian Kornets after the 2006 war jumped considerably and remain high to this date. Furthermore to the above story that Nasrallah relayed in the interview, he added the following: it was General Suleimani who suggested to the Syrians that they give Hezbollah the Kornets in the first place, and it was Suleimani who also conceived, organized and ensured that Kornets and other sophisticated weapons are ‘gifted and transported safely’ to both Islamic Jihad and Hamas in Gaza. It was all him. Him. Suleinami. For the first time ever, in the shape of a horseshoe, terrorist israel is now surrounded by kornets and other deadly ‘gifts’ to ALL the resistors on the front line. All this crucial military advancement to the Levantean Resistances, all of it was made possible by a single man: the superbly strategic and awesome General Suleimani. And you wonder why this Iranian man is loved in the Levant by far-far more than that Arab cunt, MbS?

    2-  For the first time ever, the Resistors in Gaza are performing joint military exercises with secret armed Resistor cells from the West Bank – exercises taking place inside of Gaza.  The Axis of Resistance keeps getting readier, and readier and readier till… kaboooooooooom terrorist israel!  Gone to fucking hot hell!

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Mike. To answer your question, albeit extremely briefly: it’s to do with the recent geostrategic shift in the mideast region, brought on by a handful of dynamic factors, notably the shifting alliances that the ‘normalization’ campaign has created these past couple of months; plus, the revelation that precision missiles are now in the hands of every single member of the Axis of Resistance, including members inside of occupied Palestine; plus, Trump’s (imminent) departure from the scene; plus, the recent heating up of cyber warfare. Other smaller sticks of dynamite in the picture too. Needless to say, all of the above now necessitates that israel implement a new arms strategy: setting up new military posts and shifting big weapons outwards on the map and strategically placing them on lands and sands that belong to its ‘normalized’ Arabs.

      Whaaaht and people thought ‘normalization’ is some kinda ‘peace accord’? No peace or shmeace there, buddy, that’s for damn sure. Clearly, normalization is a ‘war accord’ with lipstick on.

      All sides are hectic and still busy-busy planning for war.

      I will write more on this soon…

      • Canthama says:

        The word on the dark streets of old Damascus is that there will be war against the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine, and it isn't far away. That is one reason that Syria is still accepting Turkish presence in northern Syria and no normalization has happened with the Syrian Kurds in the NE/North, the first is to avoid two fronts and the second is to block any sort of autonomy that would allow Israel to use Syria's territory thru the Kurds.

        There is an on going "cleaning" in southern Syria where many terrorist leaders are found dead, many with ties to Israel, this effort will continue.

        The recent Israeli attack in Zabadani was a good example of hitting a small weapon depot, not a large one nor a depot with critical missiles, it seems Israeli is missing being fed with smaller targets while missing the critical ones, which are not in open air space, it seems they did not get that at all.

        Over all, The Resistance is smelling blood in Occupied Palestine, the house of cards are crumbling, and Israel, UAE, Qatar and KSA can feel it. I fully concur when you say that the "normalization" is not strength, it is a big wide sign of weakness. It is crystal clear now.

        Happy 2021 for you Taxi and all the blog followers, to find Platosguns in 2020 was a total blessing. May 2021 bring the liberation of Palestine and utter victory to The Resistance.

    Howdy y'all.  Last night Nasrallah gave a 45 minute televised speech (relatively short) to mark the one year anniversary of the assassination of Generals Suleimani and al-Muhandis.  He spent much time in praise of the two martyrs, confirming that their death itself has inspired the Resistance's new policy of 'evicting imperialism and zionism from the region' – that without their death, this new policy and direction would not have been born – that even in death, these two heroes still serve the greater good of the people of the region.

    It was a good speech whose rhetoric was full of familiar information and sentiment – nothing new was shared by Nasrallah, whose underlying message was 'fidelity' between all members of the Axis of Resistance, regardless of what nation they come from.  Nasrallah encouraged the people of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestine and Lebanon to unite even further in their aspirations for freedom from imperialism and zionism – encouraged them to be mindful and focused on 'fidelity' towards each other so as to aid the project of liberating the region from the scourge of manufactured divisions practiced against them by hostile foreign entities.  Yes, I would say that the word 'fidelity' sums up Nasrallah's commemoration speech in a single word.

    You'll excuse me then my present stoic state of being.

      Thanks for sharing, dear Cloak. I hope your boss realizes that ‘removing’ Trump from office means nothing so long as violent jews continue to control DC. Ironic that guards at Congress fled from the rioters – dereliction of duty during such a crisis does not exactly inspire confidence in the US’s internal security apparatus. Ironic too that so many politicians were uniformly condemning violence at home, while themselves relentlessly unleashing deadly violence on so very many world nations in order to assist terrorist israel in its klepto Yinon plan: an exuberantly expensive project that’s paid for by your own tax dollars. What we’ve all witnessed was the first page of America’s actual internal disintegration. The downfall of America is no longer just a theory. Instead of arresting seditious American jews for intentionally orchestrating corruption and violent civil unrest, the new Biden administration will no doubt go forth and arrest other disgruntled Americans. American-on-America violence is now the new zeitgeist. Politicized minorities versus White America is now the name of the game. Who will win? Nobody will. Like my article says: it’s hopeless to win any war when you don’t even know the face of your real enemy.

      Very worrisome scenes in the capital indeed, yet, not so surprising at all.

        Hey Taxi,

        This is going from the sublime to the ridiculous. There is now a 6PM curfew in effect in DC. They have extended the Covid restrictions here in San Fran. People are committing murder/suicides. A nation gone insane, and yes, I am completely aware of who the real culprit is that got us to this state.

        Last time I said, there would be no revolution, but the word "secession" is being bandied about. Well, we have dropped another level, and the new word is "extinction" – as in the people who live here. The violence and anarchy that is on our doorsteps has no precedent in any western country heretofore. Countless innocents will perish in rivers of blood. Is this what Jefferson was alluding to when he waxed eloquently about the tree of liberty and the blood of patriots and tyrants?

        So, here we all are on the eve of end of the 200+ year old grand experiment, I know it will go out with a whimper. Oft have I ranted and cursed at the evil that runs our nation, only to see them rise to ever greater power and corruption. Alas, all our hopes and dreams, from sea to polluted sea, now beheld with contempt from all those that we have wronged, as they slowly lift their head and pierce us with their glare, the hour of retributions is upon us for the sands have run out, as has our time.

        So, all you expatriates out there have been vindicated. You were smarter than all of us who criticized you for abandoning the motherland – Ha! – the rest of us will probably be chased out of here at the tip of onrushing scimitars.

        Those of us who are not at the frontline of this battle have not escape the stress of forced isolation.

        Thanks, Cloak. Voters who’ve been voting for either jews or shabots for decades now: are they really “innocent”?

        ‘Killed by stupidity’ is what should be etched on their gravestones.

        The ‘stupidity’ pandemic is by far more prevalent and dangerous than even Covid. American stupidity has been a cureless condition for much longer than Covid.

        Curfews are just the beginning and the lighter side of disintegration. Wait till car bombs start going off and food scarcity is the only headline that people click on.

        The prognosis is not looking good. My advise: actively prepare for the worst. Especially when in the near future, the unelected cunt Kamala Harris gets the keys to the White House.

    • Taxi says:

      Doesn’t it just make you sick to the marrow to see all these elected DC shabots decry the riots as “an attack on democracy” when they themselves have not left a single democracy around the world unmolested?! When they themselves have sold our democracy down the river for a fistful of shekels?!!! And please let’s all stop saying that American democracy is sanguine and thriving in the US – that it is and remains the BEST democracy the universe has ever known! The jews have long ago killed off our democracy and are currently smoking cigars in synagogues while advancing their fascistic American police state where censorship and fleecing the tax payer remain the order of the day till kingdom come, and where tyrannical, identitarian minorities are encouraged and orchestrated by the jews to dismantle piece by piece what our Gentile ancestors have built.

      How do you like them jewy poison apples now huh?! To say you deserve what’s happening and what’s coming cuz you slept right through the jewish conspiracy against you would be an understatement. In our internet age, there is no frigging excuse for ignorance! Of course, ignorance thrives where self-knowledge is anemic. You’ve been thoroughly taken over while you were busy obsessing over your goddamn weight and wage and wotnot. Instead of seeking self-knowledge as a collective, self-knowledge that is the foundation of any utopia, you instead fixated on your Credit Score and your daily diet of pornography and the acquisition of useless ‘stuff’. Dear American, you’ve been the absolute easiest target EVER for the conniving jew. I’m sorry but I’ve run out of sympathy for you. Your own stupidity has brought on this sorry state of affairs and it will only get worse for you from here on. No new president and no Jesus can save you now. Your only possible way out is to immediately stop voting for shekeled DC cunts AND also for you to refuse to pay ANY taxes till AIPAC and the israeli embassy in DC are closed down (preferably burned down!). These two entities are the main deadly cancers in our system. Reject and resist them with every fiber in you and you just might have a chance of a stable and safe future.

      Watching the train wreck that is America leaves me darkly pensive and bitterly disappointed: because I don’t believe that even a civil war in the US will teach the dumb American masses about true justice, true honesty and true self-knowledge.

      Instead of the war being waged against the terrorist, vulture-capitalist elites whose majority are jewish, the stupid American masses will get busy hurting and killing each other off for a loaf of bread and a roll of toilet paper. I give up! You’re on your own now, suckers!!!

    • Taxi says:

      The nations that continue to be under unjustified and brutal US attacks and invasions are watching the chaos in DC today with a smile on their faces. And can you blame them? We gave them decades of deadly sanctions and even deadlier Color Revolutions and now we’ve karmicly got ourselves massive, uncontrollable unemployment and bankruptcies and a home-made ‘colored’ revolution. The un-oranging of Trump from the White House will dearly cost us all. This is not in defense of the jewed-up Trump, but a statement on the consequences of allowing bipartisan corruption to reach a critical-mass point. It is political corruption and domestic propaganda, that’s been promoted and advanced by DC jews, that has led our nation to this point of no return. Please remember here that our domestic policies too are but an appendage to our foreign policy whose single theme for decades has been our ‘wars for the jews’. This is why EVERYTHING needs to change in DC. EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING!

      Meanwhile our so-called friends and allies are releasing their messages of support for our ‘democracy’. I’m reading platitudes in these statements and not real sincerity. Truth is: nobody likes us no more. We don’t even like each other or ourselves – and no, narcissism is a pathological and destructive mental illness and not an expression of self-love. Our foreign policy is umbilically connected to our domestic policies: both are conceived by the same jewish DC cabal. In the eyes of the world, even in the eyes of our allies, we are but a remorseless mass murderer gone berserk: now smashing up our own house.

    • Taxi says:

      I’m hearing from reliable sources (retired CIA person whom I just emailed and got a response from) that some 19 Pentagon Generals held an emergency meeting a few hours ago and determined that Trump must be immediately removed from office for being a ‘red-alert’ threat to US national security, and in his place, till the 20th January, Pence should take over as President. I just googled this info and of course the msm is not talking about this, but, you can read it between the lines in the link below:

      Pentagon, lambasted for heavy response in the past, on sideline during Capitol melee

      • MD says:

        The military have consistently spoken out against Trump.

         

        1. Milley the head of the military made the unprecedented step of releasing a video after the initial George Floyd riots where images emerged of him in combat uniform walking with Trump and a group of officials to a church near the white house where he distanced himself from this action.

         

        2. Milley in a thinly veiled attack on Trump a few weeks back also basically signalled the US military would not carry out martial law on behalf of Trump and said that they obey the “constitution” (code for what the MSM and powers that be define as ‘following the law’). ‘Obedience to the constitution’ in the eyes of people like Mike Pence means handing over the presidency to Biden.

         

        3. Mattis, Trump’s own appointee as defence secretary, who has the clout of being an actual ex-soldier as former head of the marines has criticized Trump as divisive.

         

        4. The ten living ex-defence secretaries recently wrote an open letter (Washington Post) that Trump lost and needs to hand over to Biden.

         So this emergency Pentagon meeting would just be a continuation of the military’s rejection of Trump.

        However I don’t think Trump will be removed for the next 14 days (336 hours) as there’s not much he can do in that period and he’s lost.

        If anything removing him now makes him look more of a hero, martyr and anti-establishment figure that this New York billionaire has successfully portrayed himself as.

    “Sheikh Rohani stirs up trouble in the Middle East
    by Thierry Meyssan

    If Joe Biden is inducted as President of the United States, he could support the plans of the Iranian and Turkish presidents. He could support the creation of an Iranian regional empire in the Levant and a Turkish regional empire in the Caucasus, both at the expense of Russia. Thierry Meyssan examines the changes that have taken place in Iran.

    ???????

    Joe's a senile zionist, he'll do Occupied Palestine's biding until he 'falls ill' and the circumcised dick sucking bitch takes over.

      Thanks, Daniel, and I agree with your assessment. But can you please provide us with a link to the wishful-thinking Meyssan article? Thanks.

      Really, no force or new policy on earth will now keep the US as the sole superpower of the world. That train left the station some time ago.

    • Taxi says:

      And btw, did you hear that Iran will now be trying Donald Trump for murder in absentia. Two days ago, they even submitted his name to Interpol. Trump is now wanted for questioning. I know this is but a mere formality, but it’s symbolically very powerful and a first. It sets a precedent. Accountability for American-israeli-saudi crimes against humanity will hopefully now be the norm.

    The impending ‘end’ (reconfiguration?) of the (not-so) United States.

     

    1. On the now defunct Syrian perspective forum (for those visitors to this site not familiar with it) I consistently spoke of how polarisation in the US would only increase with time.

    2. This recent storming of Capitol Hill is just a prelude of what is going to come.

    3. Here is a rough guess of what lies in store.

     

    a: Biden takes over, seen as an illegitimate president by half of the  country akin to how Trump was seen as a Russian stooge and the whole Russia gate hoax…BUT far worse since there is more real substance to it and the situation of the US is even worse than in 2016 in terms of polarisation.

     

    b. Biden tries to implement the SJW, neo-left identitarian agenda even more and alienates white middle America even more strengthening their thoughts of seceding or doing somethign dramatic.

     

    c. Kamala Harris takes over from Biden at some point in the future with that angering some of the racist elements of the right even more.

     

    d. The economy revives a little but is fundamentally overall worse than 2016, though better than in the height of the covid crisis.

     

    Trump’s leaving the presidency – on what the right argue is unfair circumstances (a stolen, rigged election) could arguably be the optimal scenario for him because:

    i. He leaves and does not have to preside over the post-covid economic mess in the US and get slated for all of that.

    ii. He can still be seen as a martyr, victim of injustice and almost a Robin Hood like anti-establishment figure fighting on behalf of the ‘deploraples.

    e. The Biden regime tries to reimpose pax Americana (e.g. they’re bringing back Vicky – F**k the EU – Nuland back in to office) but fails as America is weaker than 5 years ago and the Sino-Russian axis is stronger. Nuland may try and reignite American adventurism in the Ukraine but won’t succeed. Plus back in 2014 one of the reasons for the success of Maidan was the allure of the back then pre-Brexit EU, which is now seen by many as a failed project with the UK quitting and others possibly following.

    Not just in Ukraine but other places the US if it tries to reimpose its ‘will’ is going to fail e.g. south China sea, Caucasus, Libya etc. 

     

    f. More and more talk of secession or something radical amongst the right in the US including local governments be they state, county or city defying the Biden-Harris regime on some issues, or even just individual police sheriffs or right-wingers “patriots” turning against Democrat governors, mayors and their rules.

     

    The US will be in a Weimar like situation (though not as bad).

     

    Between 2024-2027 expect some sort of ‘civil war’. Not a war between two conventional standing armies as per 1861 but more a 1990s Eastern European style collapse of communism but with a bit more violence e.g. urban clashes et la BLM protests, other clashes e.g. Charlottesville leading to the blue America and red America deciding that after this big fight their marriage has failed and agreeing to divorce each other.

    What I’m not sure about are:

     

    1. Will red America and blue America divorce internally but still keep some sort of arrangement where they are different states but have the same currency and military or separate those two. The dollar and military keep the US a global hegemon which ensures high living standards.

     

    2. Will separation (blue-red divorce) be state by state or county county or something in between?

     

    California for example is eternally blue now but many outside the big cities are red conservatives, Trumpers etc and would be loathe to be separated from the new Red America and be controlled by the globalist neo-communists of Sacramento.

     

    If separation is county by county the overwhelmingly majority of the USA will be part of the new red America whilst the cities and heavily populated and racially diverse coastal areas with major economic centres such as New York, Los Angeles will be part of blue America.

     

    Things are going to get worse…things are going to get messier. For American ‘gunners’ (Plato’s gunners) buy a 2nd home somewhere far from the USA, learn a foreign language a new trade/skill, be prepared for live as if the USA were to no longer exist.

     

    Hold tight, stay safe!

    Raz of Chaz vs. MAGA Viking: Who Did the Techno-Barbarian Aesthetic Better?

    And this bit of dark-comedy-truth here:

    But, seriously folks… we can most certainly say that the storming of Congress was not a spontaneous action of sudden rebellion.  We can safely say that it was a premeditated event, that it was a coordinated one with eggheads and actors and enablers.  Segments of the security apparatus appear to have had some sort of a role in physically allowing for the storming of the security-tight Capitol Building (Congress).  This tells us that America's current divisions aren't just social and civic, but institutional as well.  Divisions in the Pentagon too – lesser reported on.  General Milley (who delayed the arrival of armed forces to break up the storming of Congress) versus Mad Dog Mattis (who condemned Trump as a "threat to the constitution" only some three days ago.  Point is: the divisions are now everywhere and gaping.   The second wave will be more violent and more consequential – and there will be a second wave: this ain't nowhere near over.  It will happen under Biden or Kamala's watch.  It will happen alright.  It might even happen on the 20th of January.

      The futurist question here is: how will the world treat our refugees?

      I contend that’s there will be no refugees – just martyrs. What is coming around the corner is truly frightening. I keep saying that we are many and they are few – but I have stopped believing that this matters. Several generation of Americans have been dumbed down to borderline moronic unawareness. 

      I am in complete agreement with you that this whole act "of rebellion" was a staged operation from the bowels of the CIA/Mossad, the Pentagon, and probably hundreds of sayanim sprinkled in positions of power.

      This will not end well for either side.

    I shared the link with you before reading it myself. It's pretty disturbing. I'd like to have your response, first of all to the remark about Nasrallah's deputy, Naim Qassem, but also about his overall thesis.

    I used to have great faith in Meyssan's views, especially during the war against Qadhafi's Libya. But he went a bit strange over Trump's great plan for the Palestinians,which he enthusiastically supported, and he's stayed in a world of his own since.

    But I fear there might be substance in what he is saying. Perhaps it is supported by his sources close to President Assad. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, dear Sarz, and a happy new year to you too. Honestly, my eyes always roll to the ceiling when a Meyssan link is shared out here at Plato’s. I used to read him in the early days of the Syria war. He was quite good back then. But then he went off tangent in his reporting and I stopped trusting both his sources and his own brand of analytical conclusions.

      I’ve just read the article and I seriously doubt there’s even a twinge of conflict between Nasrallah and Naim Qassem over the Iran file – that Qassem would put Rouhani above Ayatollah Khomeini. Furthermore, I notice that Meyssan mentions Anis Naccache in the article, who is known to me. Even though I know quite a bit about Iran’s political structure and its current personalities, Anis Naccache is a class-A Iran expert who knows Iran a thousand times better than I do, with personal relationships with top Iranian politicos, so… I just emailed him Meyssan’s link with a couple of questions. Soon as Anis answers my email, I will share what he says here with you.

      Not that Rouhani is beyond questioning, but Meyssan really paints him up as a capitalist, treasonous snake in the grass, and not as a true Iranian patriot and Khomeini-ite. Personally, I would doubt Meyssan before I doubted Rouhani. Let’s just see what Anis says…

        I heard back from Anis today and this is what he had to say about Meyssan's article:

        Hello, it is completely a fantasy nothing true in this article.

        I hope by now that all Plato readers realize that Meyssan is nothing but a 'limited hangout' propagandist on the the Axis of Evil payroll.

        Boycott Meyssan – forget him!  He's no longer an independent with honest sources.

      • Canthama says:

        This should seal Meyssan for good, in the past 5-6 years he has changed dramatically, not sure why, but it is fact.

        His credibility was challenged many times in the past few years with his complicated opinions and information, he was carrying years of credit from early on during the war of aggression against the Syrians, but promoting fake news is different from an opposed opinion, this is not forgivable.

  83. Saladin says:

    There are rumors that Trump may be assassinated or “peacefully” removed from office prior to January 20th, possibly as soon as tomorrow. The criminal DC crowd, Pelosi, Schumer and others, are talking about invoking the 25th amendment. They want Trump in prison, exile, or worse so he never rises politically again. The “riots” were a protest against a stolen election. Commit fraud of this magnitude and there will be severe consequences. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. What is known is that leftist agent provocateurs led the charge into the US Capitol building. There is video footage of Antifa members being bused into downtown DC. This is all a setup. A fabricated revolution. The anger and rage of Trump supporters is real (and justified), but they are being set up and the media is of course hoodwinking the people.  Tomorrow (January 8th) may be a more bizarre and dangerous day than January 6th. These are historic times; the US will crumble and split apart. There will be secession, I believe, though it will take time. There are no real leaders emerging to lead a nascent “New American Resistance (Revolution).” Or those that are perhaps rising are not being given a voice or a platform by the controlled media. We know who controls the media. This is a coup d’etat sprung by the Deep State. There will be chaos and they (the deep state and zionist powers) will crank up the Covid fears as a pretext to lock us down and attempt to enslave. Living in California now is in some ways like living in East Germany or some other communist paradise. A curfew in California! Tens of thousands of businesses destroyed. And it’s all come down in less than a year. It is beyond stunning.

      Saladin, stay safe my good friend, thank you so much for this statement, like other folks in Plato's above, all of you guys in the US are heading toward the same conclusion…trying times for the US, secession is possible and violence will be a reality.

      I just wonder how the new regime will handle the situation….and more I think about the more I end up on the same line of thought…there will be more police violence, curfew, enforced lockdowns, total social media blocking if anyone says anything about revolution or etc…massive arresting of suspects against US National Security under the Anti Terrorist Act…..I can only see things balancing out if some State Governments do not embark on the Federal Violence adventure, while massive nbrs of people demonstrate all over the US, I mean massive, tens of millions, every week, protesting peacefully, and last but not least a massive exit from the criminal social media feeding and protecting this Globalist criminals, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,  etc…I got a note from GAB saying their traffic is up 120% in 1 day, GAB is being blamed by the Democrats to incite January 6th violence….another free social media is VK, Parler etc…

      Stay safe my friend, hope all the unrest in the future can lead to a better place to live for you and family. 

      • Saladin says:

        Thanks Canthama. I mentioned that we bought a home in a "red state" and will move there, probably sooner than later. I think we will be all right. A main danger is the tyranny and censorship of Big Tech. Google and Facebook may be the most dangerous entities on the planet, as they control the flow of information and thereby shape the narrative. They, Twitter and other platforms are practicing brazen censorship. Free speech has ended. They will smear and attack those who don't toe the ideological line. What's next, prison camps for dissenters?

        Trump failed completely in "draining the swamp" and was naive about the ruthlessness of Establishment forces arrayed against any political outsider. I despised his foreign policy (particularly regarding Iran) but he started no new wars and stood as an obstruction to the Davos crowd (Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum) and others who want to destroy US national sovereignty as well as sovereignty of individuals. The modern left will not tolerate dissent and they will go after those opposed to deep state rule. The Deep State is an octopus with many arms. The intelligence community, infiltrated heavily by Mossad, is a key player. War is more likely with Biden (his handlers) in charge.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Saladin. Good to know that you’ve got yourself an alternative living situ in these trying and unpredictable times.

        It’s true that Trump did not start any new wars per se, but he certainly did not end any wars, as he promised he would, and worse, he launched the sanctions-wars on every single enemy of israel, plus, less effectively, on Russia and China, thus creating a global atmosphere of insecurity and hostility. Harsh economic sanctions are a declaration of war in and of themselves – and sanctions do actually destroy lives and cause deaths especially on civilians. Trump IS part of the swamp and the swampers hated his loose lips, not his policies. Truth is both sides cheated during the elections, as usual, and this time, the Dems cheated better. Trump is not a victim. He is a jewy monstrosity who was always beholden to the Chabadists and likudists. It makes no difference to the Axis of Resistance if it’s Trump or Biden or Shbiden. But it makes all the difference to Americans on both sides of the isle who are now suffering from mass brainwash and rage. Wait till the corpse of Biden has been elbowed out and Kamala installed in his place. This will be the explosive zero hour for America.

        The poetic irony of ironies is that Biden-the-corpse will be residing over America-the-corpse. Welcome to totalitarian America. Not so beautiful anymore. The jewy elites are drinking champagne while stuffing literal shit down the mouths of everyone else.

        If I were you, I would also have a further plan B. Red states, Blue states, what does it matter when the armed apparatus of the Deep State has open access to both? Everyone should be preparing for the worst evil that is now unleashed and creeping inland from coast to coast.

        The near and mid-range future look grim because there is not a proper and patriotic leader in sight. Yeah it’s a problem when most of humanity is sheep needing shepherding. Politics and religion are based on this fundamental fact.

      • Saladin says:

        Hi MD.

        Civil war is not only a possibility but probably likely. The deep state has shown its hand with the censoring of dissident voices, even the POTUS. This is Stalinist-style crushing of dissent. As I said, the modern left will not tolerate dissenting views. They have created a digital iron curtain. Opposition views must be vilified or erased. This tactic in itself tends to uphold the view that the election was stolen. Otherwise, why snuff out opposing views?

        Trump is beyond distasteful in so many ways, but he is a mortal threat to the pedophile wannabe masters of the global plantation. He opposes the destruction of US sovereignty to the criminal elite gang of modern day crypto stalinists. The 75 million (probably millions more) who voted for him are a movement that frightens to death the deep state establishment. This movement will not go away but will grow. So yes, if they attempt to marginalize this group there will be civil war, probably secession. Interesting times.

    • sarz says:

      Taxi, Roberts is a good soul but he's naive about who Trump really is. I showed him the evidence about Trump as an accessory after the fact to 9/11, but it didn't seem to register. Trump will be trying for a war with Iran until the last day, in support of no discernible American interest. He's suffering from the collapse of institutions that sustain free speech, but he will never pardon Assange or Snowden, though he's pardoned convicted murderers and he's commuted Pollard's sentence so he can kiss the ground of occupied Palestine. There's no future in any movement Trump would lead because the main goal a successful heritage American patriot leader will focus on is winning the country back from the Tribe. Someone has to take that head-on, while keeping a place for Jews who in their daily lives are Americans first. Everything else will fall into place. 

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Sarz. I don’t think Roberts’s article is in defense of Trump, rather, it is an expose of what the Deep State is up to. My only criticism of it is that he fails to mention who are these Deep State bosses. Jews.

      • sarz says:

        Hi Taxi. In the article his defense of Trump is implicit, but he has written dozens of pieces where he takes him as a savior. I wrote to him pointing out the evidence to the contrary, but to no avail. It's a huge blindspot, unlike his reluctance, when he was first coming out as a dissident, to talk about Jews. That was politic caution, that he has to an extent overcome. His Trump adulation is something else. I get his postibgs and I read the headline but I no longer bother with the details.

    Anis al Naqqash: how Soleimani and Mugniyeh helped Palestine

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for a great share, Canthama. The Resistance has lately moved its PR strategy to what I would call a ‘confessional’ phase. They’re not giving away big and consequential secrets with these confessionals, but rather, they’re informing their public of the success of their smarts while sending a slap-in-face message to the enemy: we’ve got your number motherfuckers and we’re stronger and smarter than you think we are. We’re still coming to get you – you cannot stop us!

      I approve of this new strategy because it also counters the evil enemy lies and shows that no matter what the enemy does, ie sanctions, strikes, sieges etc, the Resistance continues to increase in military power and ability. When Nasrallah two weeks ago announced that Hezbollah’s precision missiles have doubled in number this past year alone, how many jewish terrorists do you think peed in their pants? Yeah, if only I were a fly on the wall of the mossad headquarters where Nasrallah’s above speech was monitored.

    About Meyssan's article: I sent it to someone I know from Kashmir who is married to an Irani, and who knows Iran quite well. He happens to have been Ayatollah Khomeini's assistant and translator. He says:

    The article is just one more attempt to put these conspiracy theories into minds of people who really don’t know what is happening on ground. Rohani is finishing his term in mid 2021. I am sure he will not have any great influence over the next president. He doesn’t have the same standing among people as previous ones had. I think the politics of Iran is much more complex than what people perceive from outside.  In short I think it is rubbish. Having said as above let us wait for few months and see what is in store.

    So much Trumpphobia is out there right now wow!  The msm will now attempt the acrobatic feat of stuffing four years' worth of seething hate into the tight window hole that's Trump's last two weeks in office.  (Sorry, long-winded sentence, all due to feeling the world so winded at the sudden, roaring winds of change… for the worse).

    Censoring the President himself.  Publicly!  Mindblowing that it's no longer just a concept.  It's a reality now.  That's how far the United States of America has fallen to the jew throttle.  The President himself is denied his First Amendment rights.  Good grief!  What a stunning display of dark power. 

    I'm defending the First Amendment here and not Trump.  Vainglorious terrorist!

    I'm defending the First Amendment here and not Pelosi.  Evil, little mascara mouse!

    I'm defending the right of every man and woman to use any word they want, any time they please.

    I'm defending free-thought and free-thinkers.

    Speak your mind and take responsibility for your mouth. 

    This is the enlightened path.

  88. Hani says:

    Hello Taxi, though not an American, I had a conversation with a friend were I was defending the right to free speech and he counters with the argument that, what about when that speech leads to violence and mob action? I strongly believe in free speech and freedom of expression but was at loss on how to respond to him!

    • Daniel Rich says:

      @ HANI,

      "…what about when that speech leads to violence and mob action?"

      Ever wondered how wars started? Remember the Iraqi WMD BS? Powell in the UN with his ff-ing little bottle of bezoardic BS ?

      You either have free speech or you don't. You can't be a little bit pregnant.

      Am right behind taxi on this one. I loathe Trump and everything he stands for, but no matter how much I dislike him, the man has a given right to express himself any way he sees fit.

      A true human being defends rights of all, not only him/herself.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for visiting again, dear Hani. Do suggest to those brainwashed, spineless snowflakes who approve of censorship and thought-policing to either go fuck themselves or else go live in Saudi Arabia. History’s records show that suppression of human thought is precisely what leads to widespread “violence and mob action”, and worse, it leads to world wars. Sure you can get rudeness with free-speech, but relatively speaking, a negligible nano number of people are 100% rude 100% of the time. Usually, most people self-censor in certain situations and that’s worked fine for peace-loving humans forevermore. If one doesn’t like someone else’ free speech, they have three options: debate it and take responsibility for the confrontation, tolerate the offending free speech, or just walk the fuck away. At least here you have choices as opposed to having zero choices with imposed censorship.

      You cannot have thought-policing inside of a democracy. It doesn’t work because then it’s a contradiction in terms. Like our friend Daniel says: “you cannot be half pregnant.” And likewise you cannot be half a democracy too. You either want to live in a free society where freedom of speech is seen as an inalienable and natural right, or you want to live in saudi fucking arabia. There is no middle road to take here.

      There is no chance in hell that I would allow a brainwashed-scumbag stranger to tell me what ‘words’ I’m allowed to use! No way in hell!!! The fucking audacity of it would drive me to instantly knock their teeth out! You see here how suppression of speech itself leads to “violence”? You bet your sweet sunshine that I would have a punch up with those strangers who even think to attempt to control my thinking and suppress my free speech by force. And any government that criminalizes free speech is not a democracy! It’s a goddamn pharaoh! The idea that you pay taxes to a government that doesn’t even allow you the essential right of freedom of expression is the height of slavery! Plus, let’s look here at who is behind the censorship and why. Control-freaks and sociopaths on the jewish payroll or under the influence of jewish brainwash.

      Fuck them! Fuck them and their stupid bleating sheep!

      Societies advance when humans are free to express themselves. This is the REAL way of a progressive society. What we now have instead is jews turning everything upside-down and defining classic fascism as ‘liberal and progressive’.

      Is was lofty wisdom that our American forefathers placed freedom of speech as the top-most principle of our democracy. The First Amendment (freedom of speech) is sacred for a good reason. Without freedom of speech, there is no democracy, there is instead, saudi fucking arabia.

      Next time you find yourself in this debate with idiots, point out to them that freedom of speech, warts and all, is the very oxygen of a free society. And if free speech leads to violence, then there are laws that punish the unjustifiable assault on humans. It’s not like free speech is a wild and untamed beast that everyone should fear! What humans should fear most is their fucking government taking control of their spontaneous brainwaves.

    Yes, I'm afraid that living in the mideast during the unleashing of the head-chopper wahabi army on one hand, and living in Hezbollah land whose resistance has a brainy and disciplined leadership, I've become blasé and disinterested in both color AND amateur 'revolutions' (for wont of a better word).

  91. Taxi says:

    The mean-old-stupid jews just don't get it.  Every single US president has resisted going to war with Iran on behalf of israel, not because they love Iran, but because the price on US soldiers stationed across the middle east, as well as on all US allies will be utterly catastrophic; plus, no US victory in this war could be guaranteed.  In fact, the Pentagon knows that the nation that would suffer the most, ie annihilation, would be israel itself. And so, in the Pentagon consistently not recommending a war with Iran, and all presidents thereafter complying with this recommendation, the US is actually saving the jews from their own self-suicide.  Pentagon General after Pentagon General has told the jews this salient geomilitary fact, yet the dead-and-blinded-by-evil jews still want this war with Iran.  The Pentagon does not want a preemptive war with Iran, which is why, tactically speaking and for decades now, the jews have been actively provoking Tehran in the hope that Tehran would itself fire the first bullet, thus forcing the Pentagon into attacking Iran.  These jew warmongering provocations have evidently not worked.  Yet, the evil jew finger keeps prodding for a US war against Iran.

    I say hey Pentagon Generals, either bomb the fuck outta israel before it drags your soldiers and fleets into the grave, or else give them the Iran war already!  This Iran-war limbo sucks eggs and we're all getting old and bored.

    In Search of Enemies

  92. WBDuncan says:

    Hello Taxi,

    I have 2 questions for you or any of your readers/contributors.

    1 Does Iran really care or need the JCPOA agreement

    2 Some years ago there was a video or report that showed a copy of the NYT from the early part of the 20th century 1903 or so (I think) the article reported on the murder of millions of Jews. At the time I couldn't find any historical reports confirming the atrocities and the paper looked pristene which is difficult for old newsprint. Can any one comment on the veracity of the report.

    Thank you for your reports on Lebanon and all you do. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, dear WBDuncan.

      Here’s my two cents to your questions:

      1- Yes, Iran cares and needs the JCPOA. It cares because it wants a good reputation right across the whole of the world, so as to essentially do good trade in a global market and also bond with numerous allies, and not be stuck trading in a small market with minimum allies. Sanctions are an impediment to economic progress and therefore negatively effect the security of any nation. Sanctions slow down the progress of a nation in all major and consequential fields, allowing thus unsanctioned neighbors to advance at the double. Sanctions weaken the sphere of influence of a nation, both regionally and globally. Sanctions also create internal strife and potential political upheaval. Even though Tehran has managed exceptionally well under sanctions, there is no doubt that these sanctions have bruised its prograss. Iran considers itself a force of good in the world, and as a deeply religious nation, it is psychologically deeply troubled by the (illegitimate) sullying of its name. Therefore the sanctions also depress the psychology of a nation.

      2- I advise you don’t rely on numbers calculated and presented by jews themselves. Jews are professional fiddlers of numbers. It’s pathological with them.

    • sarz says:

      WBD, try a search on Duckduckgo.com, putting in "hundreds of mentions of six million before second world war". It goes back to the 19th century. Somewhere you might find discussion of a prophesy that Jews will be punished for their sins with six million dead. The fake Holocaust with its six million isn't just a way of justifying the seizure of Palestine or a way of stoking the very rewarding antisemitism game, it's a way of fooling Fate into thinking the Jews have met their destiny, so that chapter is over. That's why they are so sticky about the number. 

  93. Daniel Rich says:

    @ WBDUNCAN,

    Iran wants to be left alone and live in peace.

    The US, but above all, Occupi8ed Palestine has different plans [and been at for decades]. The pentagon brass knows what will happen next. Every single US [and allied base] will be targeted.

    Can Iran pull it off? They already did when they hit a US base in Iraq. Result? Crickets,

    The 6,000,000 dead ff-ing jews has been splashed onto newspapers for decades on end. As with the holocasut, without providing any hard evidence. Millions of dead bodies don't simply disappear, even when thoroughly cremated [bones, teeth, ash, etc.] Not a single 'mass' grave has been found. Yes, people did die in droves toward the end, as the whole of Germany collapsed.

    Really want to fight a war on several fronts and siphon off precious fuel reserves to burn jews or food to feed them? 

    The truth doesn't need a singe law to be true. Lies do.

  94. Taxi says:

    It's now the era of the "mob" versus the mob(sters).   The mob are many and the mob(sters) are few.  But the mob(sters) have deadly agents inside the mob.  They also have a world-class, giant army and wickedly fast bullets.  The mob(sters) are nefarious, and also deeply foreign.  America's Deep State is jewish.  Therefore, the mob(sters) are foreign invaders wrapped in our flag.

    Right now, post the January 6th earthquake at the Capitol, the jew mobsters are very concerned.  They have snapped the great big ship in half too suddenly.  They are in danger of getting exposed as invading criminals who sank the ship.  They are in danger of being spotlighted before the eyes of 70+ million Trump voters as being behind the theft of their votes and the murder of their democracy, also the fatal backstab-wounding of their beloved Orange Leader: this, should Pelosi succeed in her impeachment procedure.  This procedure is what will expose the jew crime and so therefore all efforts to stop it are now on turbo, as instructed by tel aviv.  The jews behind the curtain must stop this fatal impeachment step from being taken by the Pelosians, PLUS, they must also immediately find ways to infiltrate further the minority KKK community that resides inside of the 70+ million "mob", in case of antisemitic contagion after exposure, or rumors of exposure.

    This presents a moral dilemma for me.  Do I support an impeachment that's driven by politicized, personal hate and promoted by a criminal entity (Dem party)?  An impeachment that is bound to expose enough conspiratorial jews, which in itself would raise alarm and suspicion of jews in the minds of millions of Americans?  Do I support one criminal over another criminal when the returns for my own agenda (exposing traitors) would be large and most pleasing?

    Or do I play by principled rules and reject Pelosi's corruption and dubious motives for impeachment?  A theatrical and vindictive impeachment that is designed to bury, for once and for all and at 60-feet-under, the democratic aspirations of some 70+ million compatriots who desire, for good or for bad, a populist third party of their own on the scene.

    In other words, do I join a loathsome, criminal club just to bring down another loathsome criminal club?

    …  Sigh…  I don't think so.  I will stick to clean and good principles, step aside and allow both criminal teams to duke it out and weaken each other organically.

    I will not do as the jews do: overreach and rush to break the ship too suddenly, or too soon.

    As it happens, the ship is already broken and seawater is already filling the boiler room.

    Now we wait and watch the snapped ship's two parts separate and solo sink… now we hope for the least casualties of clean and good people in the inevitable drowning.

    • Taxi says:

      Notable that Netanyahu’s has deleted all photos of himself with Trump from his website already. EEEEEEVERYTHING that Trump gave Netanyahu was not enough ‘friendship tokens and gifts’ for the slimy-fake ‘king of the jews’ – now Trump’s photos have been replaced with ones of Netanyahu with Biden. Yet another example of how the jews don’t cultivate genuine friendships with gentiles, only master-slave exploitations.

      On the other hand, members of the Axis of Resistance all have solid steel bonds of friendships between them… till victory and beyond.

    • Daniel Rich says:

      @ taxi,

      Therefore, the mob(sters) are foreign invaders wrapped in our flag.

      Whenever one of those dual [although solemnly singled out and focused on Occupied Palestine] citizens opens his/her mouth to talk about ‘our country‘ I always see a white and blue flag.

      How about red?

      Ask the sailors of the USS Liberty. They know all about it and all too well.

  95. Taxi says:

    This video here below is for Arabic-speaking visitors of Plato's.  Sorry no English subs but the gist of it is this: a stellar Palestinian journalist and analyst, Mr. Nasser Allaham, who is also fluent in hebrew, is playing and translating for us a new documentary segment that aired on israeli tv, all regarding the status of the idf in readying itself for battle with Hezbollah. 

    In this video, even idf soldiers themselves are telling israeli society that they are nowhere near ready to face battle-hardened Hezbollah on the battlefield – that some idf soldiers suffer from regular nightmares and fear-filled tears at the thought of the prospect.  The idf military trainers, faced with a limp and spineless army, are doubling down on training their coward jewish soldiers, for example, making them walk for 4 days non-stop and training them in 'hezbollah-type' villages so as to toughen them up and dispel their battlephobias – and that this new approach to training is not exactly proving fruitful: idf soldiers remain in profound fear of the Hezb fighters.  We see in the video how the jewish soldiers are literally being nannied by soft-spoken army instructors, and not receiving hard-core training by professional and serious military trainers.

    No wonder the jewish army is peddling backwards away from a war with the Hezb.  But for how long can they keep peddling backwards for?

    Even if Plato readers don't speak Arabic, those of you interested in warfare tactics, in soldiers and strategies and wotnot, will get something out of watching the above video in a foreign tongue.

    This above video is yet another confirmation that, come the 12th hour, Hezbollah will be having the idf for breakfast.

    Gulp!!!

    • Taxi says:

      Oh yeah and Nasser Allaham also talks about the idf's introduction of a new war procedure called the 'Hannibal', whereby it is now incumbent on idf soldiers to shoot their own if this soldier was seen to be falling as a POW in enemy hands.  Nasser Allaham calls this 'the lunacy of the struggle', where jews now prefer to see a dead jew soldier than a live one in Arab hands.

    • Taxi says:

      …  Plus, the jew journalist in TV studio later in video complains bitterly that the northern border with Lebanon remains porous, with even Sudanese migrants leaving their restaurant work in Beirut because of Covid shutdowns, and easily crossing by foot from south Lebanon into israel to find new work.

    • Daniel Rich says:

       idf soldiers remain in profound fear of the Hezb fighters. 

      There's nothing wrong with fear itself, as it is a survival mechanism. I learned that from Russian Spetsnaz.

      They kept kicking my ass, but never took credit for it.

      As a soldier, you have to be realistic. You go to war: you might die.

      Politicians like the former. Soldiers fear the latter.

      Yes, you get used to see people die.

      Yes, you get used to see people in bits and pieces.

      Yes, you get used to see blood and gore.

      However, the Occupied Palestine soldiers are afraid to die. They like to balk and bluster about their heroic shooting of unarmed Palestinians. Hezbollah soldiers shoot and kill armed oppressors. Occupied Palestine soldiers are very well aware of this and the difference between the two. Thus they are fearful, for they know they don't have the courage to die.

      That's the difference between Lions and kittens [sorry for the insult to felines]. 

    • Taxi says:

      The fucker Adleson wanted the US to dump a nuke in central Iran as 'warning'.  Too bad he didn't live long enough to see with his own eyes the wholesale destruction of israel at the hezb hands, in "months, not years".  He would have died from a heart attack right then and there while watching tel aviv burn on CNN.

  97. Taxi says:

    I don't think I've heard anyone in media ever describe the Deep State as a 'patriotic' entity.  But I've heard same media describe plenty of times that Trumpsters see themselves as true 'patriots'.  After all, it's even in the name, MAGA: Make America Great Again.  It's in the slogan.  And now, today, and with Trump's second impeachment on the table, it sure looks like the the Deep State has gone to full-throttle war with Trumpism.  The Deep State versus Trumpism.  Both sides are armed to the eyeballs. Both sides are maximalists. Extremists.

    Therefore, expect rivers of blood… till one of them breaks.

    And who's side are you on?

    It's a profound dilemma when the leader of the Resistance is a fucking traitor and terrorist himself. 

    It's a problem when the bulk supporters of this Resistance are mentally mono-fucking-syllabic!

    • Taxi says:

      Perhaps the first wave of resistance currently taking place was bound to be born crude and ugly.

      Perhaps the ‘second wave’ will be more refined in intelligence, philosophy and leadership.

      Perhaps the resistance will eventually morph into something more good-for-all and less identitarian and race-centric.

      Perhaps a new and more honest leader will take over after Trump gets a bullet between his albino eyebrows.

    • Taxi says:

      It’s a learning process: how to do revolution.

      It sure doesn’t look like we’re much good at it. I mean the optics of it are promising. But the substance isn’t. The real American revolution is about class-warfare: financial elites versus everyone else. The race revolution is bogus. A weapon of mass-distraction. An invention by the elites, who, due to their anorexic number, need all the non-white minorities in the land to go to the frontlines on their behalf, in the false belief that they’re fighting racism and prejudice, while the elites themselves lounge about in their gated mansions and private islands, counting their dollars and watching the bloodbath live on TV.

      The real revolution is not race-centric. The real revolution is banker-centric.

      But how do you expect collective America to know this? With so much propaganda and misinformation battering their brain 24/7 and for decades now, can we really expect America’s sheep to know any better? Ah but here is the finer point of doing a successful revolution: you need as many free-thinkers as you can possibly attract. You need as many individuals in the revolution, and especially in its leadership, to ‘know thyself’.

      There is no successful revolution without its leadership ‘knowing thyself/itself’. It’s no good to have a leadership that merely expresses great ‘sympathy’ with the people and is good at oration. How mawkish and cliche is that? You need a leadership that is both intellectually and morally upscale. Upscale! And as you know very well, being rich does not mean you are either an intellectual or genuinely moral. Many poor people are intellectually and morally upscale. Some rich people are too. Morality and smarts are beyond class.

      We, as an American collective, we know little about revolution. We know little about our own history, let lone the history of the world. This is tragic and now we pay the price for this collective ignorance.

      Instead of our schools (and media) teaching us how to protect ourselves from tyrannical government and hostile takeovers by elites, they wasted our education-time pickling us in stories about the dubious so-called jewish holocaust.

      We know more about the holocaust than we know about our own family tree.

      And we know so very little of ‘know thyself’.

  98. Taxi says:

    One indicator of a true leader: they don't need a fucking teleprompter, especially when addressing a crisis!

    • Taxi says:

      This little speech will not quell the violence that is coming, nor will it make the Deep State (using Dem hands) stop the legal throttling of Trump.  It will not stop the media's relentless humiliation of Trump.

      Nothing was addressed in this speech.  Just the predictable 'message of peace' that a faceless speechwriter penned.  Without addressing the grievances of 70+ million citizens, and without addressing the wanton corruption in our voting system, things will remain as they are post the speech: divisive and most dangerous.

  99. Taxi says:

    Let us remember how jews always operate.  'Divide and rule'.  Let's us here take the Lebanon as an example: create civil war inside Lebanese society to distract them away from their jew usurper-enemy, and thus weaken their Resistance groups camped at the border.  This method totally worked back in 1975, with the ignition of the Lebanese civil war.  It took the Lebanese 25 years before completely defeating the jew invader and sending them off back to their mamas for once and for all.  But it hasn't worked again like this for the jews ever since, and believe you me, the jews try every single day to create civil war in Lebanon.  It hasn't worked again (and it won't) BECAUSE the majority of Lebanese people are extremely clear on who their enemy is: it is not each other, but the terrorist state of israel.  There is no question in the Lebanese collective mind and psyche who the enemy is.

    On the other hand, the American collective is still unaware of who the real enemy is.

    The American collective will have to reach the point of 'recognition of enemy' first before a light appears in the dark tunnel.  Americans will have to fight the jew invader first before their internal issues can be justly addressed.  These issues will NEVER find resolution under a jewish occupation.  We Americans have the Herculean double-task of defining our enemy AND successfully liberating ourselves from it.  The task at hand is for the collective to become, first, mentally liberated, then, physically liberated.  In this order.  Both are awesomely gargantuan undertakings.

    Till this happens, till both collective mental and physical liberation happens, it's the invading jews who control the destiny of all Americans.  And that destiny is far-far-far away from apple pie.

    Taxi – agree to be liberated a people must clearly know who their enemy is. You cite that the Lebanese people know their enemy, although it took 25 years to get them out of the Leb – yet, still their enemy is continuing to significantly destabilize the Leb.

    While most Iranians also know their enemy, clearly very few US citizens have any idea who is their prime enemy, as their nation continues to be destabilized with the financial sector and global supremacy policiy fully in place. Do you believe the Iraq and Syrian people know their enemy as well as the Leb?

    What are the opponents up to?

    "Dear Daniel,

    I’m seething. We’re all still reeling after white supremacists stormed the U.S. Capitol waving Confederate flags, wearing t-shirts celebrating the murder of Jews in the Holocaust, and screaming racist and antisemitic slogans. Every day, it feels a little bit less safe to be Jewish in this country.

    And the first message to President-elect Biden from the so-called leaders of institutional Jewish organizations? A call to suppress Palestinian rights activism on college campuses. Like I said. Seething. 

    We need to make sure that Biden hears from us, too. We need you to speak up.

    The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations’ letter to Biden calls on his incoming administration to embrace the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism and urges all federal departments and agencies to adopt it. The definition is dangerously broad – conflating valid criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism – and yet does nothing to address the real and rising antisemitism we see across the country."

    Obviously, this marginal 2% of the US population are the only part of the nation that needs protection.

    But, who's gonna protect the other 98% from this 2%'s shenanigans and scheming?

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Daniel. Thanks for the link. I think I may have posted the same link on my Beirutshima article (?).

      The only recent thing that has happened with regards the Beirut Port explosion investigation, was that last Sunday, Nasrallah in his speech called out the Lebanese army for not publishing the conclusion to their investigation, referring to the release of the army’s conclusion as a “right of every Lebanese to know”, and warned that if the army does not comply, then Hezbollah investigators will go forth and present their own findings.

  103. Taxi says:

    Yes, I too have been watching the hyper militarization of DC, all in preparation for Biden's inauguration coming up next week. 

    The optics in DC are most certainly Hollywoodesque to my eyes.  I say this because the spectacle strikes me as theatrical and OTT: designed to put fear in the heart of regular Americans (both sides of the aisle), with Biden here using grandiose military muscle to project and pivot himself as America's only savior in these dangerous and trying times.  Instead of Biden addressing the Trumpian voters' grief and assuring them that they will not be left by the wayside during his term, he is bringing out the armed forces to challenge them even before his actual inauguration.  Thus, therefore, begins Biden's fisty and divisive reign, with his armed and hostile rejection of some 70+ million citizens. 

    No, this does not bode well at all.

    Because both our intel agencies and the msm have proved to be horrific liars time and time again, it is very hard to believe reports of the security apparatus in DC already foiling major domestic terrorism attempts in the days leading up to the inauguration.  It's not that I disbelieve them either, it's just hard to know what the hell is really going on.   Nevertheless, one senses here that a grand social engineering project is taking place, where, yet again, the people lose (more freedoms), and the elites win (more powers and control).

    Same old, same old.  Yet this time round, with more dumb control, and even dumber self-destruction.

    Sighs of sadness and sighs of relief wrestle one another for prime attention in me.  I am filled with nothing but fretful ambivalence.  Sad for the pain that's surely coming.  But relieved to see the evil system on the brink of self-destruction.

    Highly engineered, this is not a spontaneous revolution.  This is not an American Intifada.  Any movement that prizes identitarian politics and holds it as banner (and any racial supremacy IS identitarian), is itself an anti-patriotic movement.  The real patriot's war is always and forever with corrupt political agents and politicians, not with a chunk of citizen-compatriots, regardless of their political leanings.  Patriots fight the system and its operators, not each other.

    So far, and thanks much to our media, the American collective is evidently distracted, entrenched and entranced by the current push for a 'race war'.  This leads me to think that the people are currently on a losing streak, and the elites are winning.  Evidently, the people have lost this round.  Lost because they have not yet clearly identified their true enemy.

    Until such a time that the identity of the enemy is collectively known and understood, and a sound strategy is consequently conceived and activated, I expect nothing in the future for America but trouble and blood.

     

    • Canthama says:

      True indeed that it theatrical and pathetic. From the outside world, what is happening in the US is unimaginable, Latin Americans have their "ideal world" as the US, to see it crumbling like this is unimaginable, but Hollywood continues to do its part in painting the US the Democracy bearer, the only true democracy…but in real life it is showing its true face of Totalitarian Oligarchies running the freak show. 

      I am not longer in the US, so do not have the pulse, but from a distance I can sense hatred, can sense that this is it, time to react, time to push to the next level, I really think Biden won't rule easily, there will be. revolts, there will be strikes, there will be people on the streets, as jobs do not return, as the common people lose their homes and the unimaginable hunger strikes millions, these are no predictions, these are simply facts that Hollywood and the Political/Oligarchies won't show on TV, the the rubber hits the road, Biden's coup regime will over react, will use force against "fascists", while empowering Antifa and BLM, the polarization will only grow, and the cycle will be auto fed…then caos, total caos will emerge as the States fight the Federal Oligarchies and things start to go downhill.

      In Brazil, in the early stages of the covid, the Supreme court deliberated that the States are responsible to drive their reaction policies against covid, deflating Federal Government which assumed a supporting role, when things do well the State gains glory, when things start to go downhill, like now, the States blame the Federal Gov for no pro active help or efforts. This scenario, but not with covid, may happen in the US, where real dispute emerges putting State and Federal in severe opposite sides, and this won't take long.

      Hypocrisy rules the world, it is the killer of 21st Century as Cancer was for the 20th Century, it won't get better, it has to collapse, the whole Western system is rotten, it has been unequal, it has been and will always be until it collapses, the system for the few, and we know who are these few that enjoy "007 type license to kill" and not get caught for that….as soon as Palestine is liberated, the Western world will have a chance to heal, not before.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks for sharing your thoughts, dear Canthama. If you have the time, can you please briefly tell us the Brazilian reaction to what went down at the Capitol Building on Jan 6th? Were all Brazilians shocked at the spectacle? Did Brazilian media cover it intensively? Are the US’s Brazilian allies now nervous, while its critics happy? What do regular Brazilians in general predict will now happen to the US?

        And, here, I welcome contributions from other readers, be they short or detailed ones, on how this story is going down in their locale, be it stateside or overseas. You know we cannot rely on the mainstream media to give us an accurate account and consensus, but at least Plato readers can report and share with each other how their corner of the world is responding to the consequential Capitol events.

      • Canthama says:

        Yes, Jan 6th had wide coverage by the media which is, in its vast majority, against the current Government in Brazil, so they managed to imply, and had an easy narrative for doing it, that the current right Government in Brazil will have the same end as Trump and that it could be expected the same scenes in the country's capital by 2022 (new Presidential election). Local media is as dirty as in the US and EU, one sided and no fact base news anymore, only trying to push their agenda, which is basically the same, earn as much money as possible from any Government, Federal, State etc…which they are making in the past 2 years since most Governments (Federal and States) have drained PR investments due to high debts.

        It is true that the Bolsonaro Government is blindly supporting Trump and Netanyahu, since day 1 of current administration, I have tried hard to convey messages to the Federal Gov, through some contacts I have, that was a great strategic mistake for Brazil to blindly ally to both…the US which is the largest Brazilian export competitor and Israel which has an amazing tax benefit to export to Brazil and nothing back to them. No change in course has happened, Brazil has lost big time due to this relationships.

        Now Brazil will taste Biden's green agenda against Brazil, and we can expect sanctions and huge economic pressure, while from the supposed "ally" Israel, Brazil will experience the Israeli treatment…ignore Brazil and throwing a knife on Brazil's back to make some points with Biden's regime. I honestly am praying for all that, only by betrayal and sanctions Brazil will wake up once more and look East….toward BRICS and Eurasia.

        Things are going downhill in the relationship between Brazil and Macron's regime, due to Macron's increasing pressure against the Amazon,  this is playing well for the Brazilian Left wings that want to retake the power in 2022, but it is increasing animosity between the Brazilian Armed forces against France, both countries are traditional allies, but Macron is messing things up badly.

        Brazilians, in general, have the ideal dream to live in the US…for the past 50 years this dream was nursed by Hollywood and the dream to be rich in the US, so it is only natural that Brazilians, in general, will support whatever President in the US, it simply does not matter for them at all.

        Hi Daniel, all good down here, hope Far East is treating you well, left many friends in Asia from years of traveling on business all over the region, still keep contact to many of them, special people for me, long term friends.

        I agree with you, we need to take of ourselves and our loved ones, for almost 10 years I am living in the country side of São Paulo, with enough place for all my family and extended ones, directly in contact with the land, planting, harvesting, raising small animals, place has many water wells and 4 years ago installed some solar panels, trying hard to be independent from the system without disconnecting from the world around, so far so good. 

        I have many friends in the US from the time I lived there, unfortunately most do not see as folks from the outside, but at least many have followed the advice to be debt free, this is a fundamental move toward some sort of freedom from the US debt trap.

    Them jews can line up all the war ducks their coward hands can get a hold of, but it's too late to save tel aviv and the Gulfies in the next war with the Axis of Resistance:

    Pentagon moves Israel into Central Command to boost cooperation with Arab states

    Trump and his foreign policy traitor-terrorists have been frantically working overtime these last two weeks of Trump's term, all so that israel can worm its way into a controlling position inside of CENTCOM and the Pentagon. 

    No, this is not just a "symbolic move", as the article calls it, it is a very significant move.  Knowing how the wormy jews always burrow themselves inside 'command and control' foreign seats of power, and work their evil plans from there, the chances of a US physical/military involvement (boots on the ground) in the next war between the Axis of Resistance and israel has risen sharply with this move.

    • Taxi says:

      Two further observations on this move “to boost cooperation” blahblah:

      1- It’s yet another confirmation that the whole ‘normalization’ campaign is all about forming a jew-Arab war party against Iran and the Arab members of the Axis of Resistance. It’s not a peace accord, but an alliance formed for the purposes of an intended war against a 3rd party.

      2- It’s also yet another confirmation that the US is desperately needing to get the hell out of the middle east asap in order to focus on its eastward pivot: in order to confront the more pressing crisis of a rising China and Russia. The US is now delegating security roles and openly creating military alliances between its allies in the mideast, so as to itself fill the vacuum that will be created with its expected departure.

      Preparations, preparations, preparations…

      • Daniel Rich says:

        @ taxi,

        '…forming a jew-Arab war party..'

        Forming a 'party' is one thing, making it successful on the battlefield, quite something different/else [cue in Yemen and Lebanon].

        But you're right about the cancer getting under the skin and settling in the 'brain.' No good will come from this move. A German word, that got stuck in my brain somewhere, comes to mind 'Elend.'

    • sarz says:

      Hello Taxi. I think you've hit on a major reason for Trump moving Israel into CENTCOM. Trump is a crypto-Jew and one whose main identification is with Israel. The globalists, for whom the Democrats are working, want to lessen the commitment to Israel, which is what the nuke treaty with Iran was about. It's going to be tough for Biden to get out of this, but the capacity of Israel for major mischief even against the big-money Jews (who set up Israel in the first place, for non-sentimental financial reasons) means he's going to have to try. 

  105. Taxi says:

    Because the US has created so very much terrorism outside of America, it does make universal-law sense that now much domestic terrorism would come at it from within.

    Here's some new video footage of 'inside' the riot, released just now by the New Yorker:

    A Reporter’s Footage from Inside the Capitol

    Wow!  Watching the linked video, I saw only a mere glimmer of a 'real' revolution possible: so disorganized, mentally unclear and full of hot air were the protestors.  A real revolution has a real and clear-thinking leader.  A movement without a mentally disciplined leader is like a boat without a paddle.  Yes, the boat floats, but its direction is left to the mercy of the wind.  So, you end up going wherever the wind takes you, and not to your own chosen destination.

    Weighing out the terrorism of our politicians against the vandalism of the protestors, justice is not served when the judge gives a protestor 20 years while the politician is given comfort and succor by the justice system.  What America really needs are special laws that punish politicians for ANY misstep or corruption.  So far, all our presidents have been global war criminals, yet, there is no accountability imposed on our Presidents at home.  They come into office, commit unjustified mass murder overseas, and disgraceful mass theft at home, and when their term is over, they just go easy-peasy and gently to their new and bigger mansions, with bodyguards for life paid for by our tax dollars.  No accountability for nothing whatsoever.  How can presidential bad behavior ever change when there's zero accountability privileging our presidents and exempting them from doing any time for their long list of crimes?  Hello there Animal Farm!

    No, we will not get the right revolution in 2021, but we will get anarchy.

    Leb internal security issue > Those following – the capacity of Lebanese security agencies and military to fend-off outside infiltration and control of key Leb persons and security policies – might be interested in the following article, the opening lines of which follow prior to the link. (Of course it may simply be a counter-intel piece and certainly the Hezb is fully alert, aware and employing its own counters.) >

    “New Leaks Show How British Spies Infiltrate And Undermine Lebanon’s Security Services

    A few month ago we reported on documents which revealed secret British ‘Strategic Communication’ programs in support of the Jihadis who fight against the Syrian people and their government.

    In December documents of a different secret program revealed similar British efforts in Lebanon. These were designed to influence certain ‘liberal’ youth groups in preparation for a ‘color revolution’ that would overthrow the Lebanese government.

    A new set of documents, just recently published, shows British efforts to influence and infiltrate the security forces of Lebanon. These programs are coordinated with Canadian and U.S. efforts to gain influence in the country and to use it on behalf of Israeli interests.

    Like usual these programs are sold as white man’s burden efforts to ‘help’ the indigenous people and their governments. But they are in fact undermining the sovereignty of the country and hinder the self determination of its people.

    As Professor As`ad AbuKhalil remarked on the previously released batch:

    ‘To be sure, the documents seem to be unclassified material related to the operation of the British embassy in Beirut. But it can be easily ascertained that the embassy (at least from these documents, which the British ambassador in Beirut refused to comment on when asked by Lebanese media) was engaged in activities that would close the Lebanese embassy in London if it were engaged in similar activities.
    It’s clear Western powers allow their embassies to do things they would never allow developing countries to do from their embassies in the West. After the humiliating defeat of Israel in Lebanon in 2006, there has been a feverish escalation of the propaganda war in Lebanon against all those who declare resistance against Israel.”

    (listed players developing inside Leb actions include > ‘Siren Associates’ and ‘Torchlight Group which has been working in Lebanon sine 2015. It has hired a former Brigadier General of the Lebanese army and others as ‘senior strategic advisor’ to peddle its influence. The former generals are budgeted with more than £100,000 each for 120 days work on the project.’).

      Thanks, Mike. TEP shared same MoA article here a couple of days ago and this is what I had to say to him: “Thanks, TEP. This is old news in Lebanon. Leb headlines these days are more concerned with rising covid stats and the suffocating financial crisis.”

      I don’t know why MoA is gasping at this story – I don’t know why MoA is suddenly intensely interested in Lebanon’s security with TWO Leb articles published on Lebanon there inside of a week. In Lebanon, it is not illegal for embassies to set up organizations that hire temp consultants from the security apparatus, with the approval of their superiors. Spying is, after all, a two way street, if you know what I mean. That aside, I did bother to look into the source of the story right now, only to discover that neither MoA nor ‘freenet.space’ (where MoA is milking story info from) name any actual Leb security people involved. Plus, freenet.space claims to be run by ‘Anonymous’ of the ‘We do not forgive, we do not forget, we are legion’ fame. As we all know, ‘Anonymous’ was compromised a looooooong time ago, so you’re right in saying “Of course it may simply be a counter-intel piece…”

      Neither official Leb intelligence, nor Leb media, nor Hezbollah have raised the alarm on the allegations of this ‘story’.

        That’s true about firefox. Though it’s been a while since I checked out browser security features of other platforms, I maintain because of plugins like noscript, ghostery, https everywhere etc that independently enhance the browser security for operational security purposes. so, for me operational security (opsec) trumps political considerations –no pun intended. actually it’s the noscript plugin that halts the xss attack. In order to replicate my finding, Taxi may have to install them on another device and try to access Plato’s if she needs to find out about the problem. Only trying to help, in case Plato is compromised.

    Two days ago, an explosion occurred at Turkey's first nuclear plant. The official Turkish 'splanation is that it was a controlled explosion.  Why on earth would you have controlled explosions at nascent nuclear plants?  My source here in Lebanon told me yesterday that Greek Intel is saying that it was a joint saudi-israeli job, using a suicide bomber.

    The timing of the explosion: the day right before Biden's inauguration when global media is obsessing over what Trump may or may not do on his last day, insured little to no press on this explosive story.  Sounds like the timing that's often used by israel to commit its insatiable appetite for international terrorism.

      @ taxi,

      I think most people don't remember [or aren't even aware of] the 'Harper Fragment.'

      What's so special about this fragment and what on Earth does it have anything to do with 'controlled explosions' in Turkey?

      It is all about shaping [and controlling] the flow of  'news.'

      Within 5 minutes after JFK's brains were blown out over Elm street, Oswald was designated as a possible shooter [including height and weight]. Then we got the 'magic bullet' BS.

      Cue in William Allen Harper. At that time [November, 1963] he was a Dallas college student. On Saturday, 23 November. 1963, he took pictures of a grassy area, located to what was JFK's position to the left.

      There he found a piece of [skull] bone. 

      Long story short: it was a piece of JFK's skull.

      As it was decided [by then] that Oswald was the only shooter, this news was 'contained' and 'suppressed' until 1978.

      And to this day, Oswald is JFK's killer.

      Back and to the left.

      The real killer was to the right and in front of JFK [aka the grassy knoll].

      Thus, this Turkey remote detonation near a nuclear plant is on par with Oswald killing JFK.

      Pure and utter BS.

    Yes, I watched the Biden inauguration last night (Levant time).  Yes, it was a surreal yawn of an event: one whose attendance was strikingly small in number for such a momentous, official occasion.  What struck me was how the audience was sprinkled thin during the speeches, with social-distancing applied to their seating arrangement.  Okay, this is now the norm, but then, why the heck apply social distancing during the speeches, only for everybody to immediately hobnob and mingle at close proximity at the afterparty soon as the speeches ended?  Huh?  Where the fuck is the logic in this?!  At the afterparty, the camera there that was casually meandering around caught Bill Clinton salivating after the petite 23 year old African-American female poet, Amanda Gorman, who'd read a poem during the inauguration ceremony (which was not really a poem but more of a stupid feelgood 'pep' speech).  The camera also showed a narcissistic Obama, finding himself alone in the party crowd for a few seconds, looked lost and depressed and dashed hither and dither through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd: looking for someone, anyone to talk to who wasn't already engaged in a conversation, before suddenly beelining right at Jennifer Lopez and her husband for an awkward hello: he kind of sideways crept up on them.  It was also nauseating to see Michelle Obama hug on Lady Gaga for the freakiest longest time ever yikes!  This hug must be immediately entered into the Guinness Book of Records.  Bush Jnr was nearby and flaying arms about, intermittently scratching his nose while telling some 'funny' story to his amused group – his wife, as usual, looked semi embarrassed and semi coy.  Kamala was held tight around her shoulders by her Kushner, I mean by her jewish husband, while she smiled like a swooning bimbo at well-wishers.  And Biden, well, he was the most subdued of anyone present at the afterparty, with his wife acting like his personal bodyguard: standing next to him all stiff and alert, with her eyeballs scanning the surround non-stop.

    The afterparty was more fascinating to watch than the ceremony itself.  Let's just say there was more 'honest and natural' behavior going on there.

    So, alright, here we now go into the Biden universe…  Enter the reign of the corpse…

  113. Taxi says:

    Analysts in the middle east are saying that Biden will bring even worse evils to the middle east than the terrorist Trump did.  They do not believe that he will reverse any Trumpian policies there, especially to do with the Palestine issue.   Despite Biden's rhetoric to the contrary, 'normalization' will continue under Biden; the US embassy will not be moved out of Jerusalem; the US's recognition of the occupied Golan as israeli territory will not be dislocated; nor will Trumps's policies in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon or Yemen – he will not be lifting sanctions against Iran and other members of the Axis of Resistance.  Biden will be continuing the pro-israel mideast projects initiated by his arch enemy Trump, without even batting an eyelid.

    But we all already knew this, right?

    • Taxi says:

      Will Biden make peace with White America? Yeah sure, when hell freezes over!

      Will he take America to civil war? I don’t think so. But Kamala will.

    • Taxi says:

      Our new president is literally a dead-man-walking. The jews have made sure of this. They must get their Iran war on asap, especially that sophisticated weapons in the hands of the Axis of Resistance are rapidly multiplying. The jews cannot wait another four years for this war – no way, not at this stage. Therefore Kamala is their sure roadmap to this war. Not Biden.

      Therefore, at some stage inside of four years, we should expect Biden’s ‘unexpected’ exit. By hook or by crook, the jews will make this happen. By sniper bullet or by (mysterious) heart attack. By false flag or by scandal. Biden will be brought down by the same hands that raised him up.

    • Taxi says:

      So we're to expect both civil war and a war on Iran to take place inside of the next four years.  Begs the question: which will come first?

    Hi Taxi. Love your account of the inauguration. I know you worked in Hollywood. Were you a script writer? 

    My reading of the new situation is different. I'm reminded of a friend who was for some years married into the top layer of Jewish finance families. She mentioned gatherings in Italy where hundreds of big shots showed up who surprisingly identified as Jews, for often the skimpiest connection. American politics is like that, and Trump, Obama, Hillary and definitely Biden are all part of that game.

    If someone here has a laptop handy and knows how to access the web archive, would you please access CNN's coverage of the 2005 (January end) Iraqi election that the American conquerors arranged. Biden voted in that as someone of Iraqi descent, showing a purple stained finger in one photo and holding up a big old book in another, supposedly his Iraqi grandfather's Torah. (Since he's Catholic due to his supposedly Irish father, maybe he's even halachically Jewish.) 

    With Biden it's back to the Rothschild agenda. They also want troops in Syria and will do whatever minimum to keep Syria down. Not really for an apartheid state of nasty Jews that their man Soros actually would like to undermine. But for strategic reasons of their own, including the petro-dollar (or petro-whatever). Trade publications say that the seam of petroleum in the Golan (controlled by the Rothschilds) is by far the deepest seam ever seen on the planet and could well be more than all the Saudi holdings.

    War with Iran is definitely not on the agenda. The nuke deal was done by Obama under command. It's going to be sticky getting that pact back in place post-Trump, but it's not necessary as long as the Trump sanctions are lifted. (Possibly against my reading is that the Jew, Cohen, who was in charge of sanctions at Treasury has now been named number two at the CIA.)

    As for the use of nukes against Iran, Putin solemnly stated a few years ago that the use of a nuke however small against an ally would be treated by Russia as a nuclear attack on Russia and would be responded to accordingly. A year later the other shoe dropped. There was a much heralded meeting with Russia in Jerusalem at which it was anticipated that Russia would do some sort of surrender. Putin was represented by his close friend and national security advisor Patrushev. He dealt with Bolton and Netanyahu, and all the Israeli papers had the same headline the day after: Iran is an ally of Russia. That penny has dropped.

      Thanks, Sarz. Yes, guilty of screenwriting…

      Really, nations under the punishing fist of the Axis of Evil don’t care if Biden is Rothschild or Saban – it’s all the same relentless jewy evil as far as they’re concerned. I really don’t think Biden will lift the Iran sanctions just like that. He will keep them in place and use them as bargaining chips to hack at Iran’s precision missiles. But it won’t work. Iran will NOT EVER EVER EVER give up its LEGAL precision missiles. After all, they saw what happened to Iraq and Libya when they did give up major weapons and their programs.

      Yes, it’s true that Russia warned the West about using nukes against its allies. Furthermore, Iran’s public threats of strikes on israel’s Dimona as a response to a nuclear attack on it: this in itself is enough to keep that catastrophic prospect at bay.

    You attack an opponent when you know [or think/believe] he's weak.

    Operation 'Martyr Soleimani' wasn't only executed to avenge the heinous murder of a great man, it was also to ensure nobody [including Occupied Palestine], will attack Iran.

    The costs and consequences of such an attack are simply too big for any participant to shoulder.

    Because, in that case, Iranian dropshorts won't fire a thing. It will be a barrage of ICBMs speeding through the air, not only to hit the Ayn al-Asad airbase in Iraq [again], but any base of any country being part of the attackers [including Occupied Palestine].

    Thus, nobody will attack Iran.

    Even Saddam Hussein, with help of the US and NATO couldn't defeat Iran and that was over 30 years ago. 

    Saw a short clip of what looked like a reverse engineered Iranian suicide drone [modeled after something used by the Occupied Palestine gangsters].

      Thanks, Mike. The country of Lebanon is currently at an impasse: politically and financially. This has been the case since early December 2020. Hence, my little reportage on Lebanon affairs for the past few weeks.

      Currently, the biggest struggle is the spread of Covid: presently, the country is in total lockdown – it was supposed to end on the 25th Jan 2021, but two days ago the lockdown received an extension till the 8th February, with possible further extensions. In the countryside and in villages, the lockdown is more forgiving: food stores, gas stations and pharmacies are open till 5pm, and people can get away with hiking around the hills and wilderness without being spotted by a government security agent, who’s been instructed to reprimand and fine citizens who are out and about, as indeed is the case in cities and towns. Should someone need to leave their home for any reason during lockdown, a system has been implemented where permission for ‘movement’ can be granted by the government, should the reason for ‘movement’ be deemed legitimate. Non-essential stores are closed, streets are empty of traffic, and winter is hitting hard and cold: snow is falling in high altitude terrains.

      It’s a sorry state of affairs, really. The country is depressed and mired in deadlocks. The only party that remains standing tall, untouched by financial and political insecurities, indeed, is Hezbollah.

      I don’t know what the heck would snap this little nation out of the freeze-zone. Some people are hopeful that Biden will relax at least some of the Trumpian sanctions, but I don’t put much faith in this at all. The fundamental problem remains ‘corruption’, and the corrupt agents, be they financial or political, remain staunchly protected by the American embassy. The people of the Lebanon are unable to dislocate them from their positions of power.

    In life, as a regular politician, he brought nothing but shameless ruin and death to millions of people.  Now that he is president, it will be the same but on the double.

    A hectic day of articles today – here's Xymphora's newsstand:

    Post-Trump Populism

    And this here below from Louis Farrakhan, who, weirdly enough does NOT mention the corrosive jew behind the black curtain (if you’ll pardon the pun):

    America Has Become an Armed and Angry Camp

    And, out there in north Africa, street protests broke out in Tunisia a couple of days ago, over high employment and Tunisia's financial crisis.  The Tunisian President, Mr. Kais Saied (who absolutely loves and supports Palestine and Pan-Arabism btw), took to the streets to talk to young protestors directly, and when one protestor blamed the government for the collapsing economy of his town (sorry forget name of town right now), President Kais Saied explained to the street protestor that "it was the jews who stole your money – jewish thieves did this", referring to both the IMF and to the 100.000+ Tunisian jews who'd recently upped and left for israel for good, withdrawing funds from local banks and taking with them their wealth in cash en mass, while leaving their debts behind.  His quote, as transcribed above by me, is an accurate translation of what he said: I personally saw the footage of his interaction with the protestors and heard him speak the words in Arabic. Today marks the third day of protests btw.

    Kais Saied was already on the jew radar as an Arab leader who must be punished for his support for Palestine and the Axis of Resistance in general.  And after saying what he said to the protestor about the jews two days ago, Western and israeli media have launched an aggressive 'antisemite' campaign against him.  And of course, they're misquoting him and falsifying and omitting, as usual.  They're flooding the market with 'antisemite' articles on him, even writing lengthy articles that analyze his childhood to 'demonstrate' his antisemitic 'seed'.

    I expect global jewery to now kick up a color revolution in his face, with Biden putting his 'regime change' team on it as I write this.  It's going to be one fucked up year for Tunisis.  The jew terrorists will attempt to install a 'normalization-friendly' leader in Tunisia, after they first wreck the place.  Same old, same old. 

    This is how the tel aviv press is treating this story:

    Tunisian president denies claims he made anti-Semitic remarks

    These people, the fucking jews, they live just to make enemies, don't they?  And they live just to keep slaves, not friends, don't they?

    • Taxi says:

      And likewise, Russia will increase its troops and weapons in Syria – if they haven’t already, as a preemptive measure against the predictable Biden.

    • Canthama says:

      Mike, yes this is true, it happened on the 21st and I would not relate it to the criminal Biden but to a normal US military move in NE Syria, convoys like this one happen all the time, sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly.

      Taxi has nailed in the head that Russia increased its presence in NE Syria, and that is, in fact, the real news, Russia has sent several Ilyushin Il-76 airplanes to the Qamishili airport in the past week or so, beefing up, and in large proportion, its presence with heavy equipments, AA and personnel, lots os military police from Russia arrived in Qamishili.

      In the past 2-3 days there were several fake news of fights between SDF and NDF in Qamishili, it is a fact that SDF did seal Qamishili's area controlled by Syria and Russia from outside, but this was temporary, the situation is very fluid now, NE/North Syria is a powder keg ready to explode….Ergodan's evil regime is threatening to invade Ayn Issa, a vital village that controls the the most important crossroad in. northern Syria, the one linking M4 highway to Raqqa. Just 10 days ago, Erdogan's terrorists shelled the Russian/Syrian military post there, causing lots of material damage and could have killed Russian Military Police but likely it did not.

      https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ain+Issa,+Syria/@36.3963087,38.8358115,10555m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x1536c68a31554151:0x55476f6cba8085e!8m2!3d36.3838141!4d38.8675942

      All in one….expect Biden's regime to play double games in Syria….support the Erdogan's regime to invade more Syria while supporting the Kurds to create some sort of a "independent province" like in Iraq, in Syria…so they continue to occupy Syria….the intention is only one….eternal off balancing of Syria so it can never rebuild its strength to threat the Apartheid regime in occupied Palestine, and block all means for Syria to recover economically, thus preventing Syria to access its most profitable oil sources and the largest grain production region…both where key for Syrian exports…and now Syria imports both items, thus leaving Syria in a monetary chaos all the time. 

  121. mike-florida says:

    Syria – Canthama's above comments connect with my dots – meaning Empire plan for Syria continues as always, without letup, to continue to cripple and bleed little Syria until it collapses such that Empire can install its own puppet controller in Damascus, forever answerable only to Empire and Apartheid regime. Same plan for Lebanon.

    Dots also connect toward possibility Empire also has plan RE Russia, to make Syria a military battleground confrontation area to seriously damage Russia's image. US air power is huge in the region, just lusting for action. Can Russia sustain self in Syria? Certainly the health of Syria, despite continuous bleeding, depends much on Russian and Iran support – available nowhere else.

  122. Taxi says:

    As we all expected, the Tunisia protests have continued, with today drawing more warm-bodies on the streets than before, all calling for a new government.  The current one is dominated by muslim brotherhood ministers – infamous for being incompetent administrators.  The IMF is breathing heavy down Tunisia's anorexic neck.  Israel and Tunisia's jews hate Tunisia's pro Palestine President and are whispering down Biden's ear to ‘unseat him with colors’. The jews want to oust the President, and the people want to topple the governent.  Meanwhile, people are hungry.  Unemployment is rife.  Everything is expensive.  And Corona is everywhere.  Internal and external forces are now working to overturn the presidency AND the government, using various hands and the usual tools.  The security apparatus has started beating up protestors – nay, they killed their first yesterday.  And the Tunisian army is lending them a finger, not a hand.  The army is otherwise too busy getting military assistance from Erdo, and preparing for the immiment enlistment of Tunisian females into army ranks.

    The people are saying that they've given "the muslim-brotherhood government ten years" to get it together and things have only gotten worse for the people.

    We've all heard this sad song before.

    And we've all seen how the full-bellied vultures sweep over the heads of the sad and the hungry.

    A bleak harvest is projected for Tunisia.  For the whole fucking world, really.

      Thanks again, Taxi for more Tunisia news. In your finding what media and funding sources do you find is driving the organized demonstrations other than the usual?  And, what would be preferred > the Muslim brotherhood or Empire/Zionist puppet in charge? Recalling Egypt where prior Empire’s puppet Mubarak was overthrown by Empire in 2012 to stop his pro-Russia drift, then people voted in Muslim brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi which drove the Empire mad – responding 2 years later with a neat military coup with General al-Sisi as new Empire puppet, who arrested all MB leaders – Sisi still there. In any case, after Libya, the Empire is constantly on the move to puppet-control all coastal north Africa. Appreciate the take of others on this if different. Thanks. Mike.

    Howdy y'all.  I would have written a new article about Biden's entry into the WH and its effects on America and the world, but, really, generally speaking, I don't see much difference between Biden and Trump's domestic and foreign policies.

    Both kiss up to America's corpo elites and AIPAC.  And both administrations will never let go of the crown of the Axis of Evil.

    Both are under the thumb of the same master.

    If you're expecting change for the better under Biden, forget about it!

    The REAL 21st century American revolution is far from happening.  The fake revolution is what we now have unfolding.

    The abysmal fact is that, domestically and globally, the West is crumbling under the weight of its own mass crimes and insane levels of hypocrisy.  And this is dragging all its eastern, northern and southern allies down with it.

    Only the opposition East is ruddy, despite the relentless conspiracies and lashings upon it by Western whips.

    This trend will continue under Biden, as well as under Kamala, when soon enough she’ll be gifted the reigns of the WH by the Deep State.

    I've lost interest in the news of late because of the tedium of repetitive headlines that continue to ignore the above glaring facts.

    Lately, instead of brimming with interest in the news, I feel pregnant with two book ideas that beckon my attention.

    I will, therefore, from here on dedicate my spare time to them instead of to Plato's.  Once I've got a hold of the bull's horns and a book-writing routine is firmly established in my daily habits, I'll then be able to allot appropriate time to my blog again.

    Until then, my visits to Plato's will be brief and sparse.

    Unless, of course, WW3 or a regional war with israel break out.

      • Canthama says:

        My friend, much appreciated. Most of IDF attacks on Syria results in limited to no impact, there were, indeed, some strikes in the past that hit important weapon depots, but bear in mind that the vital Syrian Weapon depots are underground, deep down, this is where Syria holds large ballistic missiles, most of of air defense missiles etc…this is true for decades. The Israelis have been desperate to locate them all, they did find some thru betrayals in the past decade, but it is a tiny piece of the puzzle, the whole arsenal only increased in size and potency after Iran jumped in hard in late 2015, together with the Russians, to bring peace to most Syria, and it was not a coincidence that the Qalamoun Mountain was one the very first area to be fully liberated, in both sides…Syria's and Lebanon's, the coordination between SAA, Hezballah and IRGC was amazing, once freed of terrorists, this area became very protected and there is not a single word of any left over terrorist there, simply zero, and it won't, this whole mountain chain will be key to any future confrontation with the people occupying Palestine.

        The last IDF attack resulted in nothing, literally nothing, and the previous ones in January were mostly ineffective, according to iDF they have destroyed 3X the size of SyAAD, over and over again, and every time they attack IDF has 70-80% of the missiles intercepted, not bad for a dead air defense force that was totally destroyed 300%…the fact is IDF lies a lot, not a surprise here, but also Syria has been able to surprise IDF with either way more AA available or….IDF has been hitting dummies most of the times….one can conclude what one wants…but iDF missiles continue to be intercepted 70-80% of the times…

        There is a clear ROE that IDF can not violate Syrian airspace, if it happens Syria is free to use the S300 against it, on the other side it is also known that Syria has received new toys from Russia and from Iran, from Russia mat have arrived many mobile AA in the past few months, from Iran may have arrived drones, new smart weapons for SAAF, and maybe some Iranian made AA, this has been a debate for long, many denied it…many say it is there, I trust the late. 

        Syria is still struggling as a country, sanctions have created several issues, but Syria has been an isolated country for a long time, only in early 2000s it decided to trust the West to invest in Syria and to depend a bit more on them…not a fatal mistake, but one to regret badly, since the war of aggression against Syria was started and later one failed, the West still believe Syria to be the same pre war of aggression, a country that depends on export of oil and agriculture products, this is a very big mistake, Syria has changed deeply since 2011, it has patience to recover lost areas, while not showing its strengths, and it is quietly building its role in what is to come, the inevitable war against who occupies Palestine and its Arab allies, and yes I do not see a war in Palestine, but in all the Gulf. Syria has now a role to play, as Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq, this war is coming and the Resistance is better prepared than ever.

        All the best my friend, stay safe.

         

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Daniel, Emersonreturn and Canthama.

        To Canthama's summary, I would like to add that this week alone, and for three days in a row, Hezbollah was downing an israeli drone per day.  On the forth day (2 days ago), israeli drones stopped flying over the Leb border altogether.  The israelis look seriously spooked by the triple drone downings.

        Hezbollah fires missiles at Israeli drone over southern Lebanon

        No one has reported on all three downings – just one or two of them (like above link) – so I will tell you myself what I know about this.  First, I definitely heard a faraway explosion when the last israeli drone was missiled.  The first two drones were brought down via Hezb scramblers that the israelis did not detect in realtime.  After the first israeli drone was disabled in mid-flight, israelis sent a second 'scout' drone the following day, in order to study how the Hezb breached the first one.  Again, Hezbollah compromised this second drone electronically and undetected.  The israelis then, on the third day, sent a third drone, expecting electronic interference, but only to have Hezbollah pulverize this third drone with a missile instead – a missile that came at it fast and undetected too.

        What the israeli military intel has deduced from this three-day drone-kill is Hezbollah's message to them, and it relates to future israeli strikes on Syria: "The Hezb, though quiet, are not sleeping.  They clearly possess untraceable defensive electronics and missiles that come at us out of nowhere – and they may very well use them against our F-35s on our next mission in SyriaShould we take a risk and test their patience?  Is this the right time to also test Biden's military commitment to israel at the expense of a jewish pilot?  Israeli elections are next month, so should Netanyahu risk losing votes through a gamble that uses the treasured life of an israeli pilot?"

        …  It is very possible that we may now see a dormancy of israeli attacks on Syria that use Lebanese airspace.

        In the Levant, there remains only Jordanian airspace, via US-occupied Al-Tanf, to feasibly strike at Syria.  But will Biden allow these wanton israeli terrorist strikes on Syria like Trump did?

        I think he would allow them if he did not have so much on his plate right now.  He may very well say to the israelis: 'yes, have at it but not now – not while I'm trying to steady the ship after the last drunken captain aimed it at the eye of the storm'.

      • Canthama says:

        Taxi, that is rich indeed, the last IDF attack into Syria, 2 nights ago, was said by settlers' media, to be a response the downing of a drone in Lebanon, this time, IDF 's attack came from Occupied Golan Heights and not Lebanon…what you said above makes more sense when IDF did not use Lebanese airspace to perform this attack.

        As a side note, every IDF attack from Lebanese airspace has a higher chance to reach targets in Syria, due to proximity to the core of Syria and escape quickly, IDF jets fire their missiles and drop to low flying mode "under the Qalamoun Mountain chain" thus evading quickly any SyAAD response on the plane….when iDF does inside Golan Heights, SyAAD is able to detect early one and usually it scores high interceptions, and as the downed F16 years back, if crosses the border it is shot down.

    As an expat US citizen with family roots going back over 200 years as well as my grandparents, parents and my siblings all having had solid, good Lebanese friends in the US. I’m preparing my family in the US for the balkanization/breakup and civil war in the US and the resultant unplanned catastrophes for some and exploited and prepared for by other power blocks. I’ve survived prison, harassment, etc. beyond anything you can imagine but with real biophotonic Divine Help reached 76 years of age when I thought I would die in my 20s as a radical, revolutionary against this oppressive global system.

    I had already written you a response before the deletion mishap, so here it is:

    Thank you, dear anonymous, for a most interesting email.

    We are indeed living in deconstructive times.

    Vigilant cynicism of anything 'official' is the task of the day/century… till real justice is served on the people of both the East and the West.  Of course, this won't be happening till the global Rothschild dynasty is shredded, and the vacuum left behind is filled by more philanthropic entities.

    I look forward to further correspondence from you, at your own convenience, of course.

    Hello everyone and thank you for the updates. Does anyone know if Almasdar News is winding down or are they experiencing  the disruptions. Usually they provide a notice if the latter. With Syrper resting in piece, Taxi on sabbatical, previous sources somewhat discredited and Almasdar quiet for several days I have begun to look for new sources of information from the Shia Crescent.

    Any one have recommendations? 

  129. Taxi says:

    …  Despite my sabbatical, I'm keeping somewhat of a faraway eye on boring Biden and that skank, Kamala. Empire under them is still fully intent on further regime changes and wars for the jews and for anyone else who challenges Pax Americana – no need to take a close look at the same fucking movie.  But I do feel the need to keep a close eye on Saudi Arabia: focally on MBS, whom many Arab analysts this week are saying will be elbowed off the throne by Biden's hands and machinations, and replaced with his uncle, Mohammed bin Nayef, whom MbS has had under arrest for almost a year now – and who also happens to have been the king-in-waiting till the current king and MbS coup-ed him off the wahabi throne.  It seems that with the king about to die, the US's Deep State has decided it cannot take 50 years of The Sawman (MbS) and his destabilizing crimes and excesses.  They want the stable and CIA-friendly bin Nayef back in the picture.  The region is expecting very dramatic events to occur in the crappy kingdom this year.  Will MbS 'go gently into that good night'?  Or will we see a royal saudi civil war and blood fest?  I hope the latter.

    And here in the Lebanon, as well as other Levant nations, governments continue to be squeezed under the weight Covid, Caesar's sanctions, and, well, unstable security situations everywhere you look – some real ones and some, well, invented, like this one (note that the article is quoting the big-mouthed jews and not the silent hezbollah):

    “Israel” Anxiously Anticipating Hezbollah Shock Offensive

    Right now, with bubble-butt Trump bounced out of office, the likud-chabadist terrorists controlling tel aviv are working 24/7 to lobotomize Biden then reassemble him back as Trump, but with larger hands – large enough to put the big freak-war on Iran.  Will the jews succeed in convincing Biden that the US should fear an Iran nuke more than it fears losing a war to Iran?  Time will tell.  Mindful here that the jews get more desperate by the day, as the Axis of Resistance becomes more and more dangerous every day.

  130. Taxi says:

    So many sock-puppets in power.  Same policies of hostilities, same statements mouthed by dummy after dummy in serious uniform.  Talk, talk, talk – all talk and no fucking action.  Because Empire can't do action anymore without active consequences far bigger than it can handle.  Wait!  Yeah.  That's an Empire with a shrinking muscle.  All it can do is denialism; and the same old silly accusation of 'terrorism' at nations who are 'advancing'.  'How dare your nation get better?!  Stronger!  How dare you achieve?!', so raves Empire at interesting nations.  The same fucking rave, over and over again.  And without ever looking at exactly what is making its muscle weaker.  The jews!  Therefore without ever finding a remedy for its kosherized atrophy.

    Great Power Competition Adds to Challenges in Middle East

  131. Daniel Rich says:

    Hezbollah has time on its side.

    Occupied Palestine brownshirts have to tip-toe around, fearing for their lives.

    You don't go in when everybody's on high alert.

    You sit back and wait for the readiness to slide back into complacency.

    That's when you hit.

    Occupied Palestine will not admit to it, but the fear for Hezbollah and its allies runs deep.

    Hence all the bellicose and empty rhetoric emanating from the constipated bowels of this shithole.

    Iran will not be attacked.

  132. Daniel Rich says:

    1 month into the Biden/jewish controlled regime and still no bombs raining down on Iran…?

    What are they waiting for…?

    Less clouds…?

    Warmer weather [for the F-35s to be able to fly]…?

    Occupied Palestine doesn't have the guts to see their kids die in droves.

    Que in more Kabuki theater BS!

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Daniel.

      I have it on good authority that soon as Trump dropped out of the nuke deal, Iranian strategists began looking into reversing the religious Fatwa against Tehran possessing a nuclear weapon.  They figured it would take way too long to restart negotiations, let alone conclude them, and that in the meanwhile, they would remain under intensive military threat and under severe sanctions: therefore remain vulnerable to war AND remain in financial distress, so, therefore, they must act immediately to at least secure the realm, instead of relying on a jew-centric and capricious US.  And as we all know, nothing secures territory more than a handy nuke.  And because Iranian ballistic missiles are already nuke-capable, and because Iranian scientists already have the nuke know-how too, it would only be a question of assembling a bomb, a task that is not time-consuming.

      Once an Iranian nuke is in hand, so to speak, the whole premise for the negotiations will completely change.  Iran intends to, at this stage, negotiate for a nuke-free Middle East, ie: Iran nukes for israeli ones.

      This is how they intend to use their nukes.  This is how they intend to turn the table against israel.  Either Iran and israel both have nukes, or neither one has them.

      Mindful here that soon as Iran announces its nukes, half of israel will empty out.  Perhaps what Nasrallah said a year ago makes more sense now if one considers the above nuke content.  After giving various scenarios on how israel would perish, Nasrallah had said he also sees the end of israel as one where israeli jews themselves (out of fear of an Iran nuke), just pack up and leave, and thus leave behind a collapsed state.

      And speaking of Nasrallah: he is scheduled to give a speech this coming Tuesday, to mark Martyr's Day.  I hope to catch the speech and report on it here at Plato's.

      Hope y'all been keeping good and healthy and dandy.

  133. Taxi says:

    …  And thus spake Deep State Zarathustra:

    The challenge will be to acknowledge the United States’ own role in accommodating and excusing Saudi Arabia’s human rights abuses at home and abroad and then establishing a new framework for engagement with a country that, even as the locus of fossil fuel trade shifts elsewhere, still matters to the United States. Convincing members of Congress and U.S. citizens that a healthy U.S.-Saudi bilateral relationship is in the United States’ interest will be a necessary pivot for the Biden administration if it is to achieve even its limited policy agenda in the Middle East.

    Saudi Arabia Wants to Be a Normal Country

    Wow!  The above article must have cost some serious Petrodollars!

    The implications and intent of the above article can be summed up in one word: insidious.

    Yeah, we're really good at treating terrorist states as "normal", being one ourselves and all.

    I look forward to the brainwash campaign that will mesmerize Americans into loving up Saudi Arabia, just like Americans were socially-engineered and brainwashed into loving the jew.

    Brainwashed into love.  Brainwashed into hate.  Brainwashed into fear.  Brainwashed into excessive consumerism.  Brainwashed-brainwashed-brainwashed.  Nothing else matters.  Only the brainwash exists.  Is there even such a thing as a true-self American anymore?  Is there an original American in the house?!  Jesus!  We are a sad and fucked posse.

      Nice one, taxi. Put a smile on my face. Thank you :o] 

      The DC megalomaniacs and their wet dreams of gobbling up the entire world are in dire need of a reality check. 

      Although Andrei Martyanov [Russian military analyst who lives in the US] occasionally appears on Unz Review, he can be more frequently read over at his own blog: Reminiscence of the Future…

      In his articles he sums up what will transpire if [or when] the empire plans to strike. As Russia is far ahead with its technological developments in various fields, the EU and US will end up as mostly glazed over parking plots.

      Let’ hope some cooler heads prevail somewhere in the MIC.

  135. Taxi says:

    …  So, we've had a freezing storm hit the Lebanon for a few days now – I got snowed in for a day and a half and had no electricity or internet for two days.  It was nice to be cut off from the darkening world news – but I still couldn't shake off this clinging oblique feeling that I've lately been suffering from.  I also missed watching Nasrallah's live speech from two nights ago (no TV reception and no internet), and hope to make time to catch it soon.

    But, here's some news that caught my eye this morning:

    First, sadly, I report that Anis Nacache, a genius Leb analyst and a personal fave, has tested positive for Covid and is currently in a Damascus hospital hooked up to an oxygen machine.  Wishing him a speedy recovery.

    Iraq:  The CIA, with the collaboration of saudi intelligence, has trotted out Saddam's daughter, Raghed, seen around the Arab world in a TV interview where she slams and rags on Iran-Iran-Iran.  It appears to be the case that the CIA and friends have ran out of ideas with regards to confronting Iranian influence in Iraq, and have now decided that a revival of the Ba'athist party – the only entity that successfully checked Iran under Saddam, and the very same entity that Bush jnr willfully destroyed back in 2003 – is now the order and plan of the day.  Well, Raghed as the face of the 'new' Ba'ath party won't work.  This is because people can see that she is dishonorably collaborating with the very people who literally massacred her own family – and apparently she agreed to the interview and its content in exchange for some of her assets getting 'unfrozen'.  People are not buying into her sudden patriotism, or her attempts at causing added sectarian strife in Iraq.  The CIA with mossad and other dark friends want the current Iraq shia government overturned thru more sunni-shia bloodshed so that Biden can begin his evil decade-long plan at dividing Iraq into three nations: sunni, shia and kurd.  Another zionist, kurdish and US pipedream, in my estimation.

    Saudi Arabia: all is NOT well with MbS's hold on power.  All indications point to him getting imminently unseated from kinghood, via Biden hands.  Many inter royal dramas going on at the same time – too many to list here – suffice it to say that MbS is drowning in a sea of self-created royal and military enemies.  Interesting here too that, apparently, MbS had followed Khashokgi's horrendous murder in sound and in video via mobile 'Facetime', followed it second by second in real time, and during his viewing of the murder, he apparently spoke to Jarred Kushner some FOUR TIMES!  Leaks show that Kushner had also provided MbS intel on Khashokgi that relate to his murder, and therefore this also makes Kushner an accessory to murder.  Arab analysts are wondering if Biden will provide Kushner cover when Khashokgi's murder trial opens.

    UAE: MbZ is fighting to maintain a clean image of himself as news of the imprisonment of his daughter, princess Latifa, have gone viral. He has held her prisoner for some 3 years now. (It’s so satisfying to see both psychopaths, MbS AND MbZ, getting exposed and slammed across media and social media platforms).

    Lebanon:  a deep political and financial morass continues to grip the small but feisty nation.  No changes whatsoever since I last reported on it.

    Tunisia:  President Qais continues struggling against numerous jewy attempts at unseating him.  Tough times for him and for the good people of Tunisia.

    Libya: ooof too many conspiracies against EVERYONE there.

    Syria:  continues its defense against israeli terrorist attacks, with a large measure of success.  Notable here is that the last two israeli assaults were launched from occupied Golan and not through the usual Leb skies.  Seems to be the case that the last Hezbollah downing of an israeli drone in south Lebanon, more precisely: the weapon the Hezb used to down the terrorist drone, has put the heebeejeebeez into the heart of the jewish military, and the jews have since forgone using Leb skies on their terrorist missions against Syria.  We will see if this remains the case.

    Israel:  is still geopolitically fucked and still petrified of Hezollah, with last week seeing a yet another jewish military drill on the northern border; and another one this week too.  Somebody aught to tell the jews that drills do not make men out of coward soldiers.

    Hezbollah:  Remains intact and heroic, despite the global media campaign against them, especially the one conducted internally and personally by the cunt American ambassador in Beirut.

    And That's all folks

    For now.

    Hope you're all staying good and healthy.

    • Taxi says:

      In assessing MbS’s current options and his personal psychology – or, what he is likely to do next so as to remain in power – literally every single Arab analyst is saying that now that all doors have closed for MbS’s internal and international ‘legitimacy’, he has no other option now but to murder the king in a timely manner: before Biden convinces/pressures the king to officially boot out MbS, and to immediately release Nayef from home-arrest and re-appoint him as next king in line. Will this regicide work for MbS? No. Biden has decided that MbS is forever ‘illegitimate’ and his decision is final, and there is now nothing under the sun that will legitimize him – not when the ghost of Khashokgi will forever haunt his every political and military move. And let us note here that the king of saudi arabia is also the father of MbS, thus making this crime both a regicide AND a patricide. The history of tribal Gulf Arabs is full of patricide and fratricide. And just like his terrorist bff, Netnyahu, MbS today finds himself in the desperate position of either he stays in power by hook, by crook or by bloodshed, or, his sorry arse faces jail time for crimes committed. And I will not be surprised either to see, soon enough, MbZ also slipping out of US and regional favor: going down the MbS slide to illegitimacy. Kushner and Trump also have legal hounds chomping at their ankles. The satanic Trumpian posse appear to now be squarely circled. Unfortunately, they’re circled by another satanic posse and not by us, the good people of earth.

      We stand on the sidelines witnessing two evils duke it out – and the winner gets to chose their own evil methodology to impose on the rest of the world. This means that whoever wins, we still lose. And things stay the same-same. Albeit: un-oranged in color for the next four years.

      It’s a funny old world, isn’t it?

    • Canthama says:

      A notable important event in the ME these days is the inevitable Anserullah/Yemeni army victory at the key city of Ma'rib, the Resistance force is at the eastern gate of the city and have successfully flanked from from NW and southern parts, leaving the desert and the only road left toward KSA….liberating Ma'rib will mean large oil/gas field back to Sa'naa…and the utter end of any treat by land to the largest population center of Yemen. 

      This offensive met with the "surprise surprise" presence of ISIS defending it….just throwing in the Western freaks face what everybody knows for a decade…ISIS=KSA=Qatar=al Qaeda=muslin Brotherhood=US=israel=UK=Turkey. These western backed terrorists will all die in Ma'rib.

      Reports indicate that in 2-3 days Ma'rib will be liberated…then comes the new powerful offensives toward Taiz, Aden, al Mukha and full liberation of Yemen. It will be the an utter victory against the evil coalition. 

      Without MbS as Saudi Barbaria de facto fueher….KSA and UAE will in dire straights in Yemen, this war of aggression against. the Yemenis was a pet-war for MbS since 2015…I just hope, in the future, southern KSA is liberated and rejoin to greater Yemen once more.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks for the Yemen report, Canthama. You will forgive me that I neglected to mention a brief update on Yemen (and Iran!) in my first comment today. And you’re absolutely correct about the consequential Ma’rib battle currently going in favor of the Houthis as battle end approaches; and what this Houthi victory will mean to the Yemenis and to the Axis of Evil nations and players. One can only hope that the House of Saud loses strategic territory it usurped from the Yemenis by force of arms and force of internal Yemeni corruption.

    • Taxi says:

      There are saudi reports that yesterday, the saudi National Guard surrounded the saudi city of Neom where MbS is living (and building), blocking all entrances to the city, disallowing any vehicles from entering or exiting – all this hoopla was with the support of a handful of US military helicopters. MbS himself is reported to be on the move inside the new city, from one lush palace to another, petrified of an assassination attempt on his life. Clashes between the saudi National Guard and armed militias controlled by MbS ensued and ended with the National Guard gaining the upper hand and surrounding most of MbS’s palaces in Neom. There are no reports of MbS getting injured in the fiery clashes. The tensions continue in Neom…

      Worth mentioning here too that three days ago, MbS send messages to all international corporations based in Dubai/UAE to immediately move their businesses to Neom, and when these corporations refused (out of fear of MbS’s psychotic behavior), MbS issued a decree that bans all saudi companies from doing business deals with any company that does not have its headquarters in Neom. This move not only angered and alienated his Emirati bff, MbZ, but also outraged the international business community. The fucker is an expert at making enemies, wot?!

      We can safely say that right now, MbS has not a single life-jacket on his raft.

      The only friends that MbS has left are Kushner and Netanyahu who apparently, two days ago, spent almost an hour on the phone to Biden: trying to convince him that MbS is a worthy asset for the US. Evidently, Biden didn’t bite.

      • Taxi says:

        … Furthermore, there is breaking news right now that an American medical team, guarded by American military forces, have bypassed MbS’s orders and have this morning entered the palace where al Nayef is under house-arrest: to give him medical treatments (he was denied doctors throughout his one year imprisonment by MbS), and to prepare him for take-over from MbS.

        It’s really fucking happening!

      • Canthama says:

        Taxi, tks for this news, absolutely very important event in ME, how do you see Nayef as future Saudi Barbaria king ?

        Can it be more sweet to see MbS arrested or executed while Ansarullah and Yemenis surround Ma'rib and defeat KSA there ?

      • Taxi says:

        Canthama, al Nayef is not as reckless as MbS, but he is still the wretched House of Saud.  Al Nayef is more 'reliable' as far as the CIA is concerned, having had 'positive' dealings with him for several decades.  One hopes that the troubling excesses of MbS have taught a measure of moderation to the rest of the royals by now, and this includes moderation in expenditure and warmongering.  We shall see…

        Yes, MbS is in deep-dark poopoo.  Just now I heard that MbS has been placed on Interpol's list: unable now to travel even outside of Neom, let alone internationally.  This is because of evidence against him in Biden's hands for the murder of Khashokgi as well as apparently another journalist.  Internally, too many royals are turning against him because, apart from numerous house-arrests, numerous kidnappings and shakedowns of other royals for money, saudi royals have recently discovered that all the profits from the business deals that MbS had been doing for the past four years have gone into his personal bank accounts and not, as customary, into the royal fund that is shared out between the 16.000+ saudi royals.  Added to this, last month MbS had attempted to assassinate the personal bodyguard of his father, the king, and that this guard's wife is now taking him to court in the US over this assassination attempt.  She managed to record and smuggle out of saudi arabia all threats by phone that MbS spat at her husband – these audio files are now in Biden's hands, plus the Turkish files are in Biden's hands.  Apparently, Trump also made a deal with Biden where he spilled the beans on MbS in exchange for Biden not pushing for impeachment over the Capitol Hill riots.  Mbs, upon hearing of Trump's backstab, apparently sunk into a deep and paranoid depression that still grips him.  Many other inter-royal dramas are also taking place – it's a big fat mess alright, a mess that MbS will not survive.  Apparently, top saudi royals are advising MbS to quit the crown immediately and go live in his French chateau, never setting foot on saudi soil again, in exchange for clemency.  Will he take it?  We shall see.

        My advise to MbS?  Surprise everyone by taking refuge in Tehran kiss.  Or, keep taking that cocaine till you go fucking insane in your Neom tower, then throw yourself suicidal off that tower, motherfucker!

      • Canthama says:

        Thank you so much Taxi, MbS deserves the worst possible for his many crimes, it is already pretty shitty that he got back stabbed by the US and no word of support from the ally and love story, the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine, so either he goes down in an "unintentional" cocaine OD or beheaded in Riyadh's main plaza on a sunny Thursday afternoon.

        Any Saudi prince, most likely, has a file of MbS addiction to drug, to prostitution, alcohol, and many other stuff that under wahhabi's law may lead him to execution…not to mention that MbS, most likely, tried to kill his father in the past few years.

        I believe he is toast, good as dead meat. May he rest in "many small" pieces.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Canthama. There are reports that Biden is aiming at releasing his intel files on MbS in the first week of March. I guess he’s now prepping the ground for a preemptive ‘regime change’ against MbS, what with the siege of Neom with the help of US forces and all that, and the imminent release of al Nayef etc. Plus this morning, word is that the king is now, finally, considering other candidates for the throne, realizing that it’s pointless at this stage to flog a dead horse that goes by the name of MbS.

        Notable here the difference between KSA and Iran on nationalism and independence. When the US tells Iran to jump, Iran responds with ‘fuck you and fuck off out of my backyard’. When the US tells saudi arabia to jump, saudi arabia says ‘how high’. Here you have a perfect example of what is a truly strong nation, and what is not. It’s just stunning to have a nation as supremely wealthy as saudi arabia, yet it is not an independent nation that’s capable of protecting itself with its own hands. Huh?! Amazing, right? There are poorer nations that display by far more patriotism and will for independence than the frigging House of Saud. Their problem is that they are a cowardly lot who have spent trillions of dollars over the decades buying their security instead of birthing it from the womb of their people. But then again, how can an oppressed people, like the saudi people are, how can they be compelled to protect their nation with their own lives when all they have in their hearts is fear of the ruler? Evidently, the rulers of saudi have not learned the lesson that the longevity of a system depends fundamentally on its fair treatment of the people.

      • Taxi says:

        But, for real and serious now, my advise to MbS would be: leave the West behind, turn eastwards to Russia and China, and straighten up your act at home.  It's a long shot in the dark, but it just may save your life and position.

        Go ahead, go East and stab the West in the back – use the same knife they plunged into yours.

      Kind words, many thanks, dear WB. Yes, as the great poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, once wrote: “… O wind,

    From Al-Manor

    Lebanese political activists Anis Al-Naqqash died on Monday after battling COVID-19 for several days, Lebanese media reported.

    The activists, who has been known for his Arabism and revolutionary sense, passed away after being in critical condition for several days at a hospital in Damascus, suffering complications related to coronavirus infection.

    Al-Naqqash’s body will be transferred from the Syrian capital to Beirut on Tuesday for funeral, according to Lebanese media.

    Born on 1951, Al-Naqqash joined the ranks of Fatah movement in 1968. He was tasked with several missions in Lebanon, occupied territories and Europe as well. He played vital role in coordination between Palestinian revolution and revolution in Iran.

    Al-Naqqash was among the first operatives who formed the Lebanese resistance against Israeli occupation in 1978. He witnessed the Lebanese civil war and documented its behind-the-scenes events.

    In 1980, he was accused for being involved in a failed assassination attempt on the last Prime Minister of Iran under Pahlavi monarchy, Shapour Bakhtiar, in a court in Paris and was sentenced to life in prison. Al-Naqqash was freed on 27 July 1990, after being pardoned by President François Mitterrand.

    He is well known for being a pro-resistance political analyst who opposes Western-backed Arab regimes. In the last years, he had run Beirut-based Al-Aman Network for Studies and Researches.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, dear WBDuncan, for including the brief biog of the great Resistor, Anis Naccache (or Naqqash). There is, of course, much-much more to add to it, but suffice it to say that, though he was a Lebanese Beiruti, he had joined the Palestinian Fatah organization when he was only 17 years of age. He was a brainiac AND a soldier who fought many battles against israel, especially during its occupation of the Lebanon. He was incredibly well-informed on pretty much all topics of importance, be they political, historic, economic, petro and military; as well as being a brilliant fine art painter. He was a real renaissance man. And so very humble too. He never sought the spotlight, and never ever veered away from the universe of the Resistance. Let me tell you that it was a real mind-fuck for me to learn Arabic – I often despaired in the first five years of learning, and often wanted to give up, but I thank the powers that be for sticking it out and learning this difficult language as it enabled me to listen to Anis and understand him first hand and directly. He made it all the worthwhile. And I don’t mind to tell you that I have met him twice: once at a book fair in Beirut some 5 years ago, and another time right here in my village farmhouse some 6 years ago when I gave a 4th July barbecue and invited the handful of Leb journalists that I knew, and Anis had come along with Kamal al Taweel, a dual-citizen of the US and Palestine. Anis came along with his charming Persian wife, and what struck me about him at the time was his incredible talent for ‘listening’. I mean there were so many brilliant minds out there on my lawn, and even though (in my estimation) he was the most intellectually distinguished guest, yet he never interjected the conversation of others and only really spoke when a question was directed at him. With bright sparkle in eye, he was constantly attentive to every single conversation, absorbing-absorbing-absorbing other’s ideas and suggestions with peaceful ease and great yet quiet interest. The story I remember best from that afternoon was him relaying his experience with ‘Carlos the Jackal’ and the infamous ‘Vienna siege’ back in 1975. A Palestinian resistor at the time, Wadih Haddad, had put together a team of six men to execute the operation, and Anis and Carlos were in this team – they had not met before this. The task was to kidnap Arab oil ministers from an OPEC conference in Vienna. Anis recalled how when the main subject of the kidnapping, saudi minister of petroleum, Ahmed Zaki Yamani, was in their hands, Carlos immediately wanted to put a bullet in his brain, but Anis objected to this because it was not part of Wadih Hadded’s instruction – the instruction was that no willful killing of hostages was to be done. Anis thus found himself having a heated argument with Carlos over the killing of Yamani, and Anis said that he was about to shoot Carlos in the brains for going rogue had not Carlos finally relented and dropped the idea of killing the saudi oil minister.

      Just one example of many of how Anis was intensely disciplined and clear-minded: always focused on the heart of what is good for the cause. Yes, he was exceptionally courageous both physically and intellectually. His whole life was dedicated to righting the fundamental sin of the terroristic birth of israel, a deep and unjust wrong that Anis saw as the very source of all the region’s troubles. He comes from a generation of resistors who fought with both pen and gun. In his last TV interview some three weeks ago, he became suddenly and unusually tearful when the subject of General Suleimani was mentioned in passing. These resistor men who had much advanced the cause of resistance were brothers-in-arms and brothers-in-soul. They were beyond corruption and beyond seduction away from the cause. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.

      R.I.P. dearest Anis Naccache. He leaves a great big gaping hole in the heart of every single resistor alive today.

    Indulge me please here in a little rant against Elijah Magnier.  I had not visited his twitter page since our fall out a few months ago, but I did yesterday see on a twitter feed dedicated to the passing of Anis, a comment by Elijah, which I thought was insensitive: paying no homage to the great man, using cold language to announce his death, and patting himself on the back for having once met him in Tehran:

    And let me just remind readers here of the background to my fall out with Elijah.  It was over three consecutive articles that he wrote during the height of social instability and street protests in Lebanon.  His articles were saying that the Hezb had no more friends in the Lebanon, that their Christian allies had abandoned them, and that there were serious divisions even inside the Hezb: all 'color-revolution' lies and all identical to memos that the US embassy in Beirut was peddling through its many various medias – all promoting the false specter of a new Lebanon civil war.  When I emailed him pointing out that his sources in Lebanon were not getting it right, he became offended and protective of them, and the rest, as they say, is history.

    Well, it turned out that Elijah and his sources were completely and utterly wrong.  No new Leb civil war erupted, and only three days ago, Gibran Basil, leader of the biggest Christian party, The Free Patriotic Movement, yet again re-confirmed his party's strong allegiance to Hezbollah by saying: "we have a patriotic agenda, and of all the different political parties in Lebanon, only Hezbollah shares and supports our agenda.”

    So… fuck you Elijah and fuck your stupid Leb sources.  And fuck you especially for not humbling yourself and acknowledging Anis Naccache as the most supreme political analyst of the region, if not the world.  Yesterday, I watched a bevy of top Arab analyst choke with sadness on TV as they acknowledged that Anis was the tallest man in a lineup of midgets.

    …  And just to keep readers abreast of the saudi dramarama: MbS remains in besieged Neom, with much inter-royal fighting still going on in Riyadh palaces.  Everyone is waiting for Biden to publicly release his report on the heinous crimes of the diabolical MbS – expected in the first week of March.  Meanwhile, the Biden team is negotiating behind the scenes with the ailing and confused king of saudi arabia.  It is reported that MbS's security apparatus has kidnapped/arrested, imprisoned and tortured some 40.000+ dissidents during the four years of Trump's reign, some of them royal.  The negotiations between the king and Biden are over the release of these prisoners, of which al-Nayef remains the most dangerous to both the king and MbS.

    • Taxi says:

      … Furthermore, last night, the saudi ‘Royal Council for the Protection of the Kingdom’ held an emergency meeting that concluded with the announcement that MbS presently “represents a danger to himself, and to the king and kingdom”, and therefore, the processes of his political isolation has been officiated and activated. And until such a time as a new king is appointed, as of today, the king’s brother, Ahmad Bin Abdul Azeez will be taking the reigns and handling the day-to-day executive affairs of the kingdom. MbS is thrashing and objecting to this decree, but there is nothing he can do about it. As of today, MbS has zero executive power in saudi arabia.

      It is now crystal clear that Biden has smacked MbS down to the floor even before the release of the damning report.

      The only battle remaining now between Biden and the saudi king is the naming of the next king. The US wants al-Nayef, but the king remains adamant that he will not appoint him. Who will win this second round of arm-wrestling? No doubt, due to the king’s deteriorating health, time is not on the side of the king and he must therefore name the next king asap, or else he will go down in history as the failed king who allowed the infidel US to name an islamic king and overseer of the islamic world.

      Needless to say, the kingdom of saudi arabia is currently experiencing the biggest political and security instability since its creation.

        Also, as a wordsmith, I'm real sore that this same plagiarizing community has also wordnapped one of the loveliest and lighthearted words in the English language: gay.  And it's a word that really does not describe them at all.  High levels of suicide and domestic violence in the homosexual community attest to this.

      Currently, the main three contenders to the saudi throne are the following:

      Mohammad bin Nayef, 61 years old, and according to saudi selection tradition, the rightful future king before the current king Salman soft-couped him back in 2017 and replaced him with MbS. He is the US’s favorite.

      Ahmed bin Abdulazeez, 79 years of age, brother of the king and current temporary appointee ruler of the kingdom. He is the king’s favorite.

      Khalid bin Salman, 33 years of age, younger brother of MbS and recent ex saudi ambassador to the United States. Two days ago, and after months of sticking to his brother’s side and defending him, he publicly declared that he is now in total opposition to his brother, having read the Biden tea-leaves and having suddenly found himself a window of opportunity for taking the throne for himself. This morning, the saudi press is reporting that Khalid had formed his own little well-equipped internal army, extracted from saudi National Guard loyalists, numbered at approximately 4,000+ soldiers of varying rank.

      Is this enough firepower for the ambitious Khalid to force a takeover should he not get picked by the king? No doubt he can increase the number of soldiers under his command by hiring several thousand Blackwater mercenaries to fill in the gaps. Notable here is that he has very friendly relations with both the US and old king Salman.

        A publication called 'Arab Times', which is published in Arabic out of Texas, reports that Kushner is a major part of the conspiracy in the murder of Khashokggi.  This here is their info (I'm translating it from their video in Arabic):

        A group of saudi royal dissidents, who were against the sleight of hand and sudden appointment of MbS as future king, wrote Trump a joint letter of complaint against the tyrannical nature of MbS, and included a list of his crimes.  Khashokggi played messenger and delivered this letter to the WH Chief of Staff in person.  The Chief of Staff handed it over to Kushner and not to Trump: Kushner here being the appointed WH jew gatekeeper of everything mideast.  A couple of days later, Kushner took a plane to saudi arabia where he was MbS's personal guest for two whole days, presenting him with this letter that literally had the list of all of his internal enemies.  It was merely one week later that MbS arrested all the richest signatories on this letter and held them hostage in the Ritz Hotel, while his personal intel apparatus beat them, tortured them, killed one of them, and shook them all down for billions of dollars that he pocketed in his personal bank account.  It was some three weeks after the now infamous Ritz event that Khasokggi was kidnapped, tortured and gruesomely murdered.

        I know for a fact that this letter exists because the CIA has made reference to it on several occasions in the past, without the mention of Kushner's name.  The question here is: did Trump know about this damming letter the same day that it landed on Kushner's desk?  Or did Kushner gaslight Trump about it till after Khashokggi's murder?  If Trump knew about this letter right from the getgo, then he too would be complicit in the murder of Khashokggi. 

        We already have verified information that MbS, through FaceTime, observed the murder of Khashokggi in real time, and had received no less than FOUR phonecalls from Kushner during the time of Khashokggi's murder.  Personally, I would only consider it justice if Kushner himself was exposed as being a key member in the conspiratorial murder of Khashokggi.  Yes, I would love to see Kushner indicted and fleeing by moonlight to israel for safety, exposing thus the whole frigging jew scam of jews evading the laws of other nations by taking refuge in terrorist israel.  But hey, I'd be just as happy to see the bloodless Jarred carted off to prison with Ivanka the jew weeping and mascara running down her botoxed cheeks.

    • Taxi says:

      No surprises there, Daniel. We here in the Levant have been waiting for Biden to do exactly the same as Obama and Trump before him. And don’t you just love the logic behind this strike: our occupation forces in Iraq got hit by Iraqi resistors to occupation so therefore we will strike Syria. “We are sending a message to Iran by striking at Syria” – give me a fucking break from this stupid excuse already! We’ve been hearing the same ‘message’ now for decades! Just be honest and say ‘we’re helping israel by attacking its neighbors’. And really, how many times does one send the exact same ‘message’? I’m personally messaged-out for fuck’s sake! If you ask me, this ‘message’ is an expression of cowardice: we don’t want to anger the already angry occupied Iraqis so we’ll kill Syrians instead because they’re weaker. No different than what israel used to do: lose to Hezbollah and revenge on Gaza. Of course, israel now thinks twice about hitting Gaza. Syria needs to create a likewise deterrent with the fucking occupying Americans.

Are we getting Iran’s message? Do we only understand the language of shekel or what?!

        And as if this strike will halt the resistors in their tracks in the first place. No siree, Bob! There will be retaliation by the occupied against Biden’s terrorism. And it IS their inalienable right to kill, maim and traumatize every single occupation entity or person on their territory. Our law gives us the right to shoot at armed strangers who enter our house without our permission. The occupied have the exact same right.

        And maybe The Resistance responded yesterday to the gringo's attack in al Qaim that killed few Iraqi heroes ….Riyadh was on flames last night in many areas…due to a massive Yemen attack with drones and ballistic missiles and of course, Patriot khara that fell on civilians' head.

        The battle to liberate Ma'rib is beyond strategic for the Yemenis (large town, ancient significance, oil/gas wells), it is a moral boost to the revolution and will have ripple effect in all country. The battle is approaching it end, the heroes of Ansarullha movement with the help of the Yemeni army are now at the western door of the town, last night panic exploded in Ma'rib, lots of people supporting the traitor Hadi and the invaders were leaving the town in a dashing trip thru the desert, flights are no longer safe inn the area. There are many hundreds of al Qaeda and ISIS sent to fight for US/UK/Israel/KSA/UAE, 149 met their evil master in hell just yesterday…one thing is good, these al Qaeda and ISIS freaks dying in Ma'rib in a defenseless position will make it easy for Yemen to liberate the Southeast.  

        The warning was given yesterday, stop now or more missiles and drone will fall in way more strategic places…and maybe just maybe, the northern Provinces of Yemen, Najran, Jizan, Asir, under KSA occupation at the moment, will be returned to the mother land again, a direct message to the Occupiers of Palestine.

        I'm getting word that Iran got the Biden "message" and wadyaknow, the following day, this is what happened in the Persian Gulf – and yeah I do believe it was an Iranian response-message to both big AND little satan, at the heels of the assault on Syria:

        Israel Says Iran Likely Behind Explosion On Israeli-Owned Cargo Ship

        This little catty op basically punched the UAE's normalization deal with israel.  Now, israeli traders will be thinking twice about using the Straits of Hormuz for their shekel-grab.  They've had some three months of feeling 'safe' to use this route for trading – israeli shippers had never used UAE shipping routes till the signing of the normalization.  Iran retaliated to the latest Syria strike by punching suddenly out of the shadows then disappearing again.  It made sure that the punch was not deadly, but was a clear warming.  I mean they could have stuffed more explosives on the ship, but they didn't – and for good reason.  They wanted to respond, but without an escalation.

        And as regards the Ma'rib battle, yesterday on TV I watched all chiefs of all the tribes of Ma'rib hold a joint meeting that concluded with every single one of them (and there must have been a good 50-60 of them by my eye's count) declaring absolute armed allegiance to all resistance groups fighting the "US-israeli-saudi occupation".  So, no wonder Ma'rib natives were moving out: a liberation war had been declared by their chiefs and unarmed residents were probably advised to vacate the battle zones.

        And as regards Yemeni wrath raining on the Axis of Evil's pet, Alqaida, in the battle of Ma'rib, you're right: all military experts I've come across this week predict a bloody slam-dunk in favor of the Yemeni resistors.  And meanwhile, from Riyadh and all the way to Neom, royal conspiracies to assassinate the forgiven-by-Biden MbS are now a dime a dozen.  It seems that the fucker has more enemies inside his own family than in the whole goddamn world combined.  Even if he makes it to kinghood, it will be short lived and end with senseless hostility and violence.

    What does Biden really want from saudi arabia?  Further post-Trump embezzlement of the rich kingdom?  Probably, cuz it sure ain't about Human Rights.  How can the biggest terrorist organization on the planet (USA) accuse others of terrorism and be taken seriously by informed people?  But I would watch my step if I were Biden.  Saudi oil aside, I would not go OTT with this scam as saudi arabia is worth more strategically than it is petro-wise.  After all, we wouldn’t want this repeat scenario below again, would we now?:

    And let’s not forget here that angry saudi hands can throttle the petrodollar, costing the dollar its lucrative bridge to the world.

      Well, when the very first line in any criminal report has a "we assess" phrase in it instead of a 'we ascertain/verify/confirm', one immediately knows that the noose has been discarded and the little slap on the wrist is a-coming.  And, indeed, the report is but a slap on the wrist of the proven criminal, MbS. 

      The report reads as if the investigator was walking on eggshells while writing it.  It shows a tactical change in the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia, not a strategic one.  Biden intends to merely shorten the Saudi leash to almost choking point, not break it.   I'm also here gleaning that Biden is willing to work with MbS, but under strict conditions imposed by him.  Mbs will not be allowed to swan around the globe a-la Trump days, but, MbS will not face jail time under Biden either.  MbS can become king after all.  This is the Biden intention I'm reading between the lines.  This report is Biden blessing MbS's throne.  MbS now owes Biden big time.  He will do everything Biden asks of him, despite the bitter taste in his mouth.  Unless assassinated (by one of his brothers or cousins), young MbS will be king for the next 50 years, but old Biden is already knocking on heaven's door, therefore, MbS will put up with Biden's restrictions and suffocations because he will only have to do it for a temporary period of time.  MbS will outlive Biden and his leprechaun methodology.  And MbS will in the meantime spend mega-much-mega petrodollar on global PR agencies, gradually cleaning up his image while keeping a low public profile for a few years.  This is how both sides win.  Clearly, Biden does not want to defy the will of the king of Saudi Arabia – he does not want to sink the already leaking Saudi boat, he wants to moor it deeper in the DC and tel aviv swamp. 

      The media is reporting that MbS's personal bodyguards who actually committed the murder will be sanctioned by the State Department, but MbS himself will not be sanctioned, even though the released report pits him as a head of the murder-syndicate. This is a demonstration of how elites are forever forgiving each other’s sins. But never those of the 99%.

      With the release of the Khashokggi report, I also now think that Biden has no intention of stopping the war in Yemen.  It was all nothing but pure theater to bully MbS into submission to the new Biden 'order' of things.  Same with the Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Palestine files. Really, Biden will be just like Trump, but with a flatter butt.

      We shouldn't be surprised at this 'nothing changes but the butt'.

      And that is correct, there are more than one country interested in Lebanon's shallow waters gas fields…easy and cheap to extract…Russia is one of them and surely Chine would jump in quickly as well, but the Lebanese Gov must exist to make deals…and they are still struggling fighting for power among themselves…sadly.

      The pandemic has also placed Lebanon in a very tough situation, lots of money comes to Lebanon as international tourists pours into the country, and that has ceased to exist in 2020 and 2021…this lack of hard currency coming into Lebanon hurts the economy a lot, and mostly the small businesses that service these hundreds of thousands of tourists, a sad story that repeats country after country in most of non Asian continents.

    Hey y'all kiss hope you're all keeping your aquiline noses way above the stinky swamp waters of our fucked up world.  I'm still in book-writing mode – I've finished the first draft and now am taking a few days off before I start editing etc – will need a good two days of nothing but eat-sleep for a semblance of recovery.  So, obviously, I have not looked at a single headline for at least the past 12 days – and it doesn't really matter now, does it?  Not when most news is invented by the fucking msm/lobbyists/propagandists and none of it is truly consequential.  It seems that the older I get, the more I believe that humanity has already foolishly bypassed the salvation line to the point of no return.  But, I did catch Nasrallah's speech last night so I will give a brief summary here below.

    Nasrallah began, as usual, with prayers and thanks to his fighters and supporters, and he also paid homage to resistance figures who passed away since his last speech, including also to the great, late Anis Naquache (am personally still devastated by his passing).  All the points in Nasrallah's speech were to do with internal Leb politics and not regional issues, and he delivered them with a somber and calm voice – he never once commented on anything israel.

    Nasrallah advised that the next Leb government should not be a technocratic one as some very serious decisions need to be made about the country's financial collapse that technocrats will not be able to take, for instance the Leb's necessary financial pivot eastwards towards either "China, Russia, or Iran", who do not follow the US dictates that currently forbid any country from assisting the Lebanon.  The Lebanese Lira has now lost some 80% of its value, with the dollar last week surging to a ruinous 15.000LL – the dollar used to be 1,500LL.  Hyper inflation drove people to the streets again last week and this week too, with road closures adding to the despair-ometer of the suffering people.  Nasrallah said that there are only some 500 people closing the roads on millions of already suffering citizens, and that this is not acceptable any more and that the Hezb will now join the Leb army in assisting them with maintaining open roads and freedom of movement for all. 

    He also spoke of internal "destroyers" who are still hellbent on causing a civil war in the Leb – he warned that these entities, backed by "foreigners" must be countered by Lebs of all religious persuasions, adding that the Hezb would not use its heavy weapons in the event of a civil war, or, in times of peace, highlighting thus that these weapons are specifically to be used only against “invaders”. “Civil wars are not fought with missiles”, he said, "it's kalashnikovs that are used and everyone in the country has them", adding that "should our nation descend into such a nightmare scenario, then we in the Hezb will take responsibility to protect and defend the south with everybody in it (christian, druze and muslim), as well as provide security to shia neighborhoods patched in Beirut, the suburbs, north and east of the country too".  He basically said that the Hezb will not allow for civil war to break out in areas under its control – that these areas will be completely safeguarded, and that the areas where the "destroyers" live and operate out of will be the only ones who suffer the agonies of a manufactured civil war. 

    He then announced that if Hariri is unable to form a government in the next several weeks, then the Hezb supporters will take to the streets as protesters in vast numbers and force the powers that be to promptly install a new government.  If you recall, Nasrallah had asked his supporters to withdraw from street protests some five days after the first protests erupted some 18 months ago, citing the suspicious presence of 'foreign organizers' on the streets who have a destructive agenda and not a constructive, patriotic one. 

    He also requested patriots who are paid in dollars to please help their neighbors and other needy people in their communities with giving them 20% of their high exchange rate, so as to assist them in riding out the current rough collapse of the Lira.  And as I type this, I am hearing that the dollar has dropped for the first time in months from 15,000 to 12,000, with further drops expected next week.  This is due to President Oun's speech two days ago that put pressure on Hariri via an ultimatum: form a gov immediately or step aside, in tandem also with Nasrallah's speech last night pushing for a financial pivot away from the US towards the east.  And here let me tell you why Hariri has not yet formed a government: he is stubbornly insisting on a government of 16 members and not twenty, which means that some parties will be sidestepped and left out in the cold – no other party except for Hariri's party is accepting of this low number, hence the endless delays in forming a new gov.  Obviously the US (means israel) is instructing Hariri and using him as a tactic to delay the stabilization of the country. 

    And lastly, Nasrallah, without giving any details away, said that the Hezb has a plan ready to implement should both the financial and political aspects of the Leb collapse. 

    By the end of March, we will either see a new government, or see something completely new, courtesy of Hezbollah's emergency plan.

    • Canthama says:

      Taxi, this is great summary, we badly needed it since it got little coverage outside Lebanon.

      Should you have any details shared in Lebanon from the meeting in Moscow with Hezballah's linked politicians, pls do share it.

      Thank you.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Canthama. This is what I’ve collected for you regarding the latest Hezb visit to Russia:

        Rumors were circulating a couple of weeks ago that Russia will be forcefully pushing the Hezb out of Syria as a gesture of ‘goodwill’ towards the US. In order to quash these unfounded rumors, the Russian Foreign Ministry invited two Hezb delegations to visit Russia in tandem earlier this week. One Hezb Parliamentarian group was invited for discussions on further military cooperation in Syria between Russia and the Hezb. And another Hezb ‘diplomatic’ group was also invited to discuss international relations, thus confirming to the world, yet again, that Russia sees the Hezb as an important and vital regional player, as opposed to a mere ‘proxy group’ with no direct influence on the world stage.

        Therefore, one could say that this latest meeting between Russia and the Hezb was to show the world that there is a sanguine and active geostrategic and geomilitary partnership between them; and also that the Hezb is handsomely qualified in power to sit at a discussion/negotiating table with other powerful States.

        Furthermore, the Russians also showed their friendship to both the Hezb and the Lebs by gifting the Hezb’s parliamentarian delegation some one million Russian Covid vaccines for them to take back home for distribution.

        No doubt, the jewish-Russian entourage that forever clings to Putin was left seething by this dynamic visit.

      • Canthama says:

        This is great news, kudos to Russia for this bold step and even more, by sending millions of Sputnik V, one of the best in the world, it will immensely help Lebanon turn this covid19 curve.

        Though this Russia-Hezb visit was arranged before Biden's stupid "killer" comment to Putin…I can only say that there will be no love left between Russia and the current US regime, and we may see it in Syria very soon, as we will see in the once called Ukraine, I do see Russia playing hard ball from now onwards, no more "western partners" on their comments…it is long due for the adults to take the lead in the world geopolitics.

      • Thank you for the good news, Taxi and Canthama. I've been out of internet coverage for a while, but the unusual violence of the last accusation of Biden against Putin surprised me. With your help, it's easyer to understand. Pope Francis in Iraq touched a very sensible and sacred chord of the current international politics of the USA, the military presence in Syria now, when the whole world knows by US own words, that to steal the oil – 'keep the oil' – is the only reason. Adding to that, Western Europe is finally accepting to evaluate the merits of Sputnik V anti-COVID19 vaccine in a moment when national authorities are claiming for alternatives. This is the case of Portugal: the former head of the vaccination program was replaced by a top general who is very vocal in this regard. Add to this the approach of the federal elections in Germany, with the possibility of victory for a chancellor who refuses to genuflect in the White House before taking charge in the Bundestag, protecting himself with the remaining countries of the European Union. France and Italy ahead.

    Hi Taxi, though I fully agree with your current opinion of Elijah, he wrote a long article regarding Lebanon that it may be good to your followers to get your take on.

    I have, coincidently and recently, seen many opinions from Syrians and Lebanese friends that are in a very similar negative lines, people that are tired, sad and a bit of desperate due to the long war, the hard times in both countries and of course all the negativity from this pandemic, both the disease itself and the globalist media machine under the same rotten regimes and people that want to literally dominate the world with their dogma and WOKE mentality, but I see that The Resistance is stronger then never, slowly the countries like Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen, largely destroyed by US/Israel/NATO aggressions, are recovering and or making steps toward key victories, I can see the ordinary people suffering, impoverishment all over the place, but on the other hand I see the determination not to bend, not to give up…so I got confused with Elijah's as he puts a quite negative view on Lebanon as if the country is in a major crossroad, how do you see it ? Thank you my friend.

     

    "Lebanon on the brink of the precipice 

    By Elijah J. Magnier:

    It was not surprising to hear the Israeli President Reuven Rivlin and his army chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi knocking at the door of the Elysée, residence of the President of the French Republic, criticising Hezbollah and, of course, Iran. It is beyond doubt that Israel will never willingly swallow the presence of a powerful force on its borders, equipped with hundreds of strategic precision missiles that can cover the entire geographic area of Palestine. Hezbollah also has tens of thousands of modified rockets with high precision but shorter distance. Nevertheless, Israel had failed to confront Hezbollah face to face in 2006 even when the organisation was less experienced and with fewer precision missiles. Therefore, any new confrontation will be highly costly to Israel, and the outcome is far from guaranteed. Thus, following the failure to divide Syria in 2011 and Iraq in 2014 and the attempt to submit Iran through the harshest US sanctions since the rise of the "Islamic Republic", its prospects for defeating Hezbollah are now slimmer than ever.

     

    The US and Israel tried to support the "Lebanese revolution", the NGOs, and invested over $10 billion to curb Hezbollah, but to no avail. Two options remain: fomenting sectarian conflict, or starving the population while blaming Hezbollah and its armed sections and domestic security forces. Can the US and Israel succeed? What are Hezbollah's plans and options?

     

    The Syrian, Iraqi and Yemeni wars provided Hezbollah – one of the main participants – with unparalleled warfare experience. Hezbollah fought alongside a classical army and that of a superpower, Syrian and Russian. It used tanks, self-manufactured missiles, armed drones and sabotage operations behind enemy lines, to name but a few. Moreover, when President Joe Biden came to office, he declared Russia an“opponent” and China a “serious competitor”, triggering an unusual rapprochement between these two countries and the US administration's enemies in the Middle East– mainly Iran and Hezbollah.

     

    A delegation from the Chinese Communist Party has visited Lebanon and met the Hezbollah leadership, offering projects worth $12 billion to rebuild the electricity, communication, transport and domestic infrastructures most needed. On the other hand, Russia invited a delegation led by Hezbollah MP Haj Mohamad Raad to Moscow, where he met with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other officials.

     

    It is also essential to note that Hezbollah has 131 points of deployment in Syria. Iran has 115, and Russia has 95, excluding the Hmaymeem military airport and Tartus military naval bases (under Russia's control). Therefore, coordination and a strategic relationship between Hezbollah and Russia became inevitable, especially since the US Intelligence services recognise and acknowledge Hezbollah as a regional power and even accuse it of interfering in the US presidential elections.

     

    However, the catastrophic economic situation in Lebanon has hit most Lebanese hard, including Hezbollah. The US sanctions on Iran (since 1979) that reached the highest level in 2020 have been maintained by President Biden, preventing Iran from being generous to its allies but without ceasing regular financial support. Iran considers its allies as part of its national security. Although the allies' well-being is essential, all surpluses were taken away, and the financial supply was reduced to its necessary minimum level. For Hezbollah, salaries are the same and regularly paid. However, 20% to 25% only, receive their salaries in US dollars, whose value jumped from 1.500 to 13.000 Lebanese Lira to the dollar. A large part of Hezbollah members receive no wages or are paid in local currency. Hezbollah leadership has created an internal charity fund called "Muwasat" (consolation funds). Hezbollah members paid in US dollars will have the freedom to support other unpaid members and other families in need.

     

    The deterioration of the economic situation in Lebanon is due to several reasons. The long decades of corruption since the 90s were critical in dollarising the Lebanese imports, thus neutralising any local production. In the past years, the US war on the government of Damascus and the US-EU sanctions on neighbouring Syria (Caesar Act) played a role in burdening the Lebanese economy. Domestically, the drying up of dollars from the Lebanese market carried out by the voluntary mismanagement of the US-controlled Lebanese Central Bank Governor and the US influence over the oil-rich Gulf countries, preventing these from supporting Lebanon financially, were the last bullet shots to the head of the Lebanese economy. All these elements are concentrated against one nation, causing the beginning of starvation of the population- where medicine is no longer available, food shortages are omnipresent, and the deterioration of the local currency creates sky-rocketing inflation, making it nearly impossible for a large section of the population to survive. 

     

    Food and medicine may not be a reason to trigger a military confrontation. Iran could supply Lebanon with relatively needed medicine, food (it is already contributing), and Iraq committed to delivering Lebanon with fuel for its electricity and transport. However, the most critical issue is security, particularly when many groups belonging to the US camp are closing main streets in various cities, cutting the connection between Shia in the Capital and suburb, the Bekaa valley and the south of Lebanon. The blockage of the road is called the disturbance of the "Supply road" of the resistance, an unforgivable and most dangerous act that Hezbollah may seriously consider an act of war.

     

    The shadow of the 7th of May 2008 (when Hezbollah seized swathes of Beirut from the US-backed government) is still hovering over the country, as when the pro-US government decided to shut-down Hezbollah's communication system, an act considered, then, a war declaration on Hezbollah. The aim was to cripple Hezbollah's closed-circuit and fibre-optic communication system essential in the fight to keep the command and control in charge of guiding the battle. During the 2006 war, Hezbollah's orders of attack were coordinated and never ceased even when Israel tried to destroy it, to no avail. The alternative was volunteered by the government of the former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, an anti-Hezbollah and a pro-US pro-Saudi politician accused of corruption but saved by the late Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, who appointed him as a Finance Minister to protect him from legal persecution (only in Lebanon).

     

    According to well-informed sources in Lebanon, during the last weeks, Prime Minister Saad Hariri's support for demonstrations, under the excuse of the hunger and the Lira sharp devaluation, closed the road of Saadnayel linking of the Shia between the Bekaa Valley and the capital Beirut. The Alay-road was also closed by the pro-US druse leader supporter Walid Jumblat, preventing the Shia from reaching Beirut's suburbs. The road for Jiyeh that leads to the south of Lebanon was closed by the Druse and the Hariri's supporters. All these movements were coordinated, leading to the conclusion that it was a scenario serving to prepare the country for a bigger coordinated shot and test Hezbollah's reaction.

     

    Moreover, the Lebanese army's leadership had contributed to worsening the situation when the commander in Chief General Josef Aoun refused several orders by President Michel Aoun to open the roads and allow protestors at the side of the road. General Joseph Aoun is a candidate for the Presidency and seems to (wrongly) believe that US support is enough to satisfy his political ambitions.

     

    Over six month ago, a similar situation of closing all roads used by the “Axis of the Resistance” to the Bekaa Valley and the south of Lebanon was implemented. Following repetitive but useless warnings, Hezbollah called upon over 1000 men of the mobilisation forces living in the areas where protestors closed the roads to prepare for clearing the road by force. At the last moment, the Lebanese army, whose leadership were informed, intervened and cleared the road from protestors manipulated by pro-US political parties. 

     

    The same scenario is about to be reproduced: closing the supply line of the resistance will not be permitted. The "Axis of the Resistance" considers this act of war as direct support to Israel. It is estimated that between 24 to 48 hours are needed to clear all roads regardless of the number of people in the street and how well these are armed.

     

    It is not permitted for Lebanon to live in peace as long as its leaders are not ready to give up part of their oil and gas-rich maritime borders to Israel and as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed to please Israel. The US is pushing Lebanon towards bankruptcy where the country is not allowed to receive support from Iraq, China and Russia, but neither the US is ready to compensate. Domestic voices – mainly the pro-US and pro-Israel Lebanese Forces – call to disarm Hezbollah and describe Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah as the "head of the snack" (a video distributed on social media).

     

    Hezbollah won't throw away its weapons and will try to avoid civil war but not a battle if necessary. Hezbollah consolidates its group that is part of society and will continue its military preparation for any possible scenario of war domestically or on its borders. It has moved most of its operation underground, where cities are built to confront the future challenges against Israel and the US.

     

    The US forces will continue collaborating with Israel to curb Hezbollah. The US Central Command (USCENTCOM), commander General Kenneth McKenzie visited Lebanon several times in the last year. His most recent visit last week was the most important, with six helicopters provided by the Lebanese army, exploring the area of Ghazzee-Mazraat Deir alAshayer along with a team of intelligence officers and topography experts. General McKenzie visited the Lebanese army chief General Joseph Aoun but did not meet the President or any other political leader or member of the government.

     

    Sources believe the US is exploring the strategic area overlooking the Lebanese-Syrian borders that is only tens of kilometres from the Syrian capital Damascus and could serve as a Lebanese army base (as a façade) under US control. It is also the area that links the Bekaa Valley with the south of Lebanon and very close to Mount Hermon, where it is believed that Hezbollah has many bases for its strategic missiles. The US embassy in Beirut said that the USCENTCOM top commander was "inaugurating a USAID-funded water pumping" that was already in use for the last two years, supplying water to a half-empty village. It is not clear if inaugurating a US-funded water pump is part of general McKenzie’s area of control even if the US Central Command is one of the two warfighting commands whose headquarters is not physically located in its area of responsibility but in Florida.

     

    No workable future solution for Lebanon is coming soon, it is a country walking on the edge of the abyss. The Gulf countries, the US and Israel, have decided to break Lebanon and bring down President Michel Aoun and his ally Hezbollah. However, will these countries together manage to tip the balance in their favour? They have failed in Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Israel failed in the 2006 war, and the US $10 billion invested to counter Hezbollah did not trigger a revolution or a civil war. Hezbollah has imposed a deterrence balance domestically and with Israel. However, Hezbollah is unwilling to sit on top of the state but to live in a country where politicians are afraid to anger the US. The Lebanese government and pro-US politicians are afraid of asking the East's support. They are subject to the hesitation of the new US President and his administration, who are maintaining the status-quo of the previousTrump administration. US inaction and threats are pushing Lebanon towards the edge and into the abyss."

    Is it any wonder the US is going ape shit over the finalised 25 year and $450 Billion deal between Iran and China, this was a no brainer for both parties, China gets as much oil as it wants at up to 30% discount and gets to invest in Iranian oil and gas fields and other infrastructure. Another bonus is in military cooperation and sales with the technologically advanced Chinese making sure their friend, and new business investments are safe from US/Israeli bombings, all tied together in the belt and road initiative. The guaranteed oil sales are particularly good, so good in fact that the Chinese could make a good living simply buying at up to 30% discount and selling cut price to all their friends and of course with oil being a fungible commodity and so easy to blend and transfer the US are powerless to intervene. One other aspect is all sales will cut out the dollar [to much US gnashing of teeth] Even more so when the Chinese, who are at present the Saudi’s best customer, ask for similar terms from the Saudis and, maybe this would be going too far, asking for it to be paid in Renminbi. I suspect Nasrallah would like a similar deal with either Russia or China but his hands are tied to a much greater extent by the opposition in Lebanon. One thing is certain throwing in your lot with the US/Israel, IMF and the West in general means servitude and being vassals, or worse forever.

  162. Taxi says:

    Hiya everyone and hiya Canthama and oooof I'm sorry I have not yet read Elijah's article – my headspace is so very elsewhere to politics that I have an unusual level of high resistance (disgust, really) to anything politics – have not read a single article for several weeks now.  And because I don't know how long this state of mind will last, I did ask a villager with competent English, and whose finger is permanently on the Lebanon pulse, to read it on my behalf and to give me a brief review of Elijah's article, and this is what he said:

    The information in the article is accurate, but the content is common knowledge here in Lebanon and so therefore no insight for a local is gained – locals know more than the article's content.  No politics of fear in the article, just basic, general facts.  No propositions for solutions are provided because the writer evidently lacks depth of insight.

    So, I asked this reviewer-of-article what solution to the Leb crisis would he propose, considering he has more knowledge than Elijah, and he responded with:

    The corrupt political class in Lebanon will not budge or resign – they would rather the country go to hell so long as their own bank accounts are intact.  The solution is in removing this corrupt political class by force, a force that does not lead to further splintering of Lebanese society that would in turn bring it closer to a civil war scenario.  Therefore, the only other 'force' to look at is a war with isreal.  A war with the jewish entity will completely suck power and support out of these corrupt politicians because in a war with a foreign nation, people expect the politicians whom they voted for to provide them with survival amenities and the Leb politicians are pathologically selfish and would only be looking after their own survival in times of war.  In the aftermath of a war with israel that will undoubtedly find Hezbollah the victor, people will not be voting for politicians who betrayed them and left them hanging on the vine during a war: open to starvation, danger, injury, and death.  Support for these corrupt politicians post a war with israel will drastically fall and strip them of their political worth and influence.

    He added:

    If you remember, the two wars against israel that Hezbollah had won gave Hezbollah massive political powers, powers that they did not utilize or even collect (for fear of adding to existing sectarian divisions).  The Hezb's political strategists now regret this lack of political pro-activity post victories because it left the corrupt and treasonous political status quo intact, and this status quo is what has led the Leb to its ruinous financial crisis.  Hezbollah is now determined not to do the same mistake in the aftermath of the next war with israel.  In a post third victory, the Hezb will not be supporting or allowing the same political mafias to remain in their seats of power.  And this is why the solution to Leb's problems is a war with israel.  There is no steady future for this country except through paying a severely heavy and bitter price.  This war will not only demolish the israeli enemy, but will also demolish all the enemies within as well.

    So, there you have it, dear Canthama.

    And while we're on the subject of Hezbollah, Nasrallah is scheduled to speak tonight.  I hope to watch it and thereafter give readers a report on his speech's major points. (I can do speeches from the horse’s mouth, but I can’t do articles by know-it-all asshole journalists and/or propagandists).

    Again, I apologize to readers for my increasing absence from Plato's.  An unexpected paradigm shift in me has occurred these past few weeks and my interest in politics has severely waned and is being replaced by a re-ignited interest in literature and the human condition, instead of politics and the beastly condition of despicable, professional liars.

    Hope all Plato's readers are keeping well and continuing to thrive despite the creaking doors of dystopia swinging in the winds of uncertainty.

    I love you all.

      Nasrallah's speech two nights ago lasted just under an hour – relatively short by his own standards – his average speech duration usually takes 75-80 minutes.  The major bulk of the speech involved eulogizing a Lebanese religious sunni scholar called Shiekh Ahmad al-Zein, a highly respected sheikh from the southern city of Saidon, who had dedicated his life to islamic charity and the Palestinian cause.  Nasrallah heaped high praise on al-Zein's character and named him as a very important supporter of the Resistance.  He told al-Zein's life story to listeners so as to demonstrate his lofty behavior throughout his life, noting that as a religious sunni figure with a huge following in Lebanon, he never was under the spell of saudi arabia and its militant wahabism.  All this was said in order to show and remind the sunnis of Lebanon that a positive inter-sect relationship between Lebanese sunnis and shias exits, has long existed, and will continue to exist with Al-Zein's replacement, who is also spiritually and politically aligned with Al-Zein's positions.

      Nasrallah also briefly touched on three other issues: Yemen, israel, and internal Lebanon:

      Yemen: Nasrallah said he supported the ending of the Yemen war on condition that saudi arabia ceases its strikes on Yemen, and also lifts the siege against it.  He explained that these two conditions must first be observed by saudi arabia before negotiations can take place, otherwise, Yemen will be stuck in long-negotiations while remaining under siege with its people starving, which is not the position that the victor should be in.  He said that saudi arabia insisting that 'unconditional' negotiations with Yemen begin immediately is but another dishonest tactic that would allow saudi arabia to acquire at the negotiating table what it could not achieve on the battlefield, ie the halting of Yemeni missile attacks on saudi arabia.  He targeted saudi audiences with the following message: "America is in decline and its focus is now eastwards, not middleastwards, therefore, the Arabs should no longer depend on America for solutions – it will take decades for America to refocus primarily on middle east issues and time here is of the essence.  And if genuine solutions to all the inter-Arab crisis are sought, then inter-Arab negotiations are the only way forward.”  He urged Arab nations with grievances against each other to seek direct negotiations with each other, instead of relying on "foreigners and strangers" for durable solutions.

      Israel:  Like the US, Israel too is on the decline politically and geostrategically.  It seeks war with Resistance nations but is incapable of going to war.  It knows this yet it continues to regularly threaten Lebanon with destruction, but it cannot overcome the Lebanese Resistance standing in its way.  This is a fact, he asserted.  All its threats are therefore empty, designed solely for israeli domestic political gain and propaganda aimed at its own people.  “Our fighters remain ready for when a war with Israel breaks out.  We will be victorious, and all who desire to pray in mosques and churches in the holy land, with god’s blessing will finally be able to do so after this victory”. He also pointed at how Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ has stopped being a headline, indicating thus its failure: a failure that’s due to the natives’ active resistance to it.

      Internal Lebanon:  Nasrallah asked the Lebanese people not to despair, and without giving specific details, he assured his viewers that much important and positive work continues to be done to alleviate the ongoing financial crisis.  There was no need for him to delve in depth into Leb’s issues because “I spoke in detail about this in my last speech and therefore there is no need to repeat the same information so soon after,” he said.

      Really, the crux of this speech was to demonstrate the Lebanese shias’ genuine friendship and solidarity with Lebanese sunni Resistors – via Nasrallah’s meaningful homage to the departed sunni Sheikh Ahmen al-Zein – thus countering the ongoing attempts by Saudi/Israel/US at creating fissures between sunni and shia Lebs.

    The threat the US holds against Iraq, Syria and Lebanon should not be underrated, that is why the Iran/China deal was so good, Iran of course is a far more formidable foe than the others who would need to batten down the hatches for the amount of shit the US would throw at them including supporting the head choppers, stealing oil and crops etc, in my opinion batten down the hatches and look to your friends is what they must do if they wish to retain any self respect. Here is one threat from the Trump administration, there were probably worse threats made.

    Responding to U.S. threats to block Baghdad from accessing its account at the Federal Reserve, into which Iraqi oil revenues have been deposited since 2003, Iraqi officials claim that sanctioning the country would lead to economic collapse and push Baghdad toward Russia, Iran and China.

    Iraqi officials fear economic "collapse" if Washington imposes threatened sanctions, including blocking access to a U.S.-based account where Baghdad keeps oil revenues that feed 90% of the national budget.

    U.S. President Donald Trump was outraged by the Iraqi parliament voting on Jan. 5 to oust foreign forces, including some 5,200 American troops, who have helped local soldiers beat back Daesh terrorists since 2014.

    If troops were asked to leave, he threatened, "we will charge them sanctions like they've never seen before. Iraqi officials said the U.S. threat to deny access to oil revenues was met with shock, anger and near-disbelief. "The PM was pissed and insulted," one official told AFP.

    Another said the U.S. would then irreversibly "lose Iraq." "They'd push us toward Russia, China, Iran. We'd have to form a separate economy with those countries."

    • Harry Law says:

       I am no economist but the new trade deal between China and Iran is a win win for both sides and a kick in the teeth for the West, just one statistic alone is instructive, if the International price of oil is $63 per barrel and China gets an up to 30% discount from Iran, that works out at $45 Dollars per barrel and as much oil as it wants. In one fell swoop the Iranians have made US sanctions ineffective whilst piling pressure on the other Gulf suppliers with the message ‘why should we pay you $63 dollars per barrel when we only pay the Iranians $45 dollars per barrel and we do those deals in our own currencies'? Good questions.

      • Canthama says:

        Harry, I fully agree with you, though it was also reported they talked about 'banking', they, deliberately did not mention anything else….but we know Russia and China did talk about an alternative to SWFIT few days earlier, and it has implications for both Iran-Russia trade as well as for Iran-China as well. 

        Iran is a major producer of petrochemicals, China is a major buyer, there was a need for a banking transaction that is not linked to oil only, and that was certainly nailed in the meeting, we will know in few months as Iran starts to receive Chinese inflow.

        Another key aspect of this deal again is with Iraq-Syria-Hezballah-Yemen, with an inflow of USD into Iran, they will have way more muscle to support its allies in the region, way more than they have been doing for the past 4 years, differently to each country but yet very important….in Syria it will be in form of infra-structre, auto industry etc…investments with fat returns, in Yemen it will be in form of technology, weapon expertise and raw materials, Hezballah will continue to receive its monthly funds in USD, paying its fighters and social work thus sustaining the quality level of its large supporting base…finally Iraq…which is at odds with the US that is threatening to sanction Iraq for the energy power they buy from Iran to southern Iraq, this is pushing Iraq closer to Iran and China, and that is what this Iran-China deal plays handy…Iraq badly needs infra structure investments, a lot, a China is willing to do it….thus completing the original Belt & Road way to the Med Sea…that Turkey was trying hard to monopolize to itself…

        The impact of Iran-China deal will be felt in the region for a long time.

        And you are right, China removed the balance of oil supply…the 5 largest oil supplier to China are Russia (already under a discounted deal), KSA (playing hard ball and relying. on EU/US to sell its expensive oil) , Iraq (dying for a similar deal as Iran), Angola and Brazil….there is no doubt in my mind Iran will quickly climb to the top 3, once more, sharing it with Russia and Iraq…the big losers will be KSA, Brazil and Angola.

    US extends Iraq sanctions waiver for three more months

    The move represents a welcome reprieve for a country that relies heavily on its neighbour for energy supplies.

    Tuesday 05/01/2021    

    https://thearabweekly.com/us-extends-iraq-sanctions-waiver-three-more-months

    While American exemptions allow Iraq to obtain supplies from its neighbour without risk of reprisals, they still prevent it from paying its Iranian bills in dollars — a currency that Iran, choked by sanctions, badly needs.

    CANTHAMA you are correct about Iran being the main player in the 'arc of resistance' and the importance of these countries coordinating their resistance mainly on the principal that unless they stick together they will all hang separately.

    I cannot provide a link to these short paragraphs below but in my opinion they are so true.

    The purpose of an air-force is to bomb targets from the sky. Iranians have shown you can do it with ultra-cheap short  medium range ballistic missiles which are nothing more than crap aluminum tubes filled with propellant, a low cost cell phone GPS guidance system and a big payload. You can make millions for the cost of one stealth jet! [think f35 $100,000,000 min]

    IRAN has all US, Israel and Saudi targets mapped and gave a demo of what they can do. By the time the shitty F35s start their engines on a runway of a worthless aircraft carrier, thousands of these missiles will be launched by Iran destroying all targets within minutes of declaration of TOTAL WAR!

    THE PURPOSE OF STEALTH has been defeated. There is no deterrence against ballistic missiles which are faster then aircraft! So by the time the first wave of stupid burger planes reach IRAN, all BURGER bases in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Israel and aircraft carriers will have been destroyed! Which means the USA cant protect anything without losing everything!

    This morning, for the first time in weeks, I dared peruse some headlines and watched several news videos on the world’s current social order. This comment here may seem off topic, but it's actually connected by unseen threads to our struggle against the evil jewish domination of our lives, and the jews' continuous attempts at destroying the existing Gentile world order, to be replaced by their evil, uncompassionate, divisive talmudic dictates.  I am speaking here of the bombshell interview conducted by racist Oprah Winfrey, with her guests being the racist and narcissist Megan Markle, and the dumb and brainwashed by 'woke culture', prince Harry.  Here, I will tell you that I have zero interest in supporting the UK's royal family, or any royal family for that matter.  I loath both sides of this social conflict.  I am a sworn anti-monarchist: myself having a profound revulsion of anything and everything elitist, nepotistic and cronyistic, supporting instead the order of fair-minded meritocracy, within a democratic system.

    There were so very many lies that Megan told in this interview, all to promote, on the world stage, the fascistic and oppressive 'woke culture' currently attempting to throttle, not just the US and the UK, but the whole world at large.  The woke culture is an Identitarian culture, and as we all already know, it was conceived and is currently being globally promoted by evil jew hands and their dark resources.  And how do I know this?  Well, just you take a look at the ‘social engineering’ company in San Fransisco that prince Harry is now an executive member of: his first non-royal job after officially leaving his royal world and family.  This company (and there are many like it now, otherwise known by the Orwellian name of ‘social impact companies’) was set up solely to promote attacks on traditional Gentile systems, and the spread of 'manicured' Identitarian propaganda under the banner of 'wokeness'.  This dubious West Coast company that hired prince Harry is called 'BetterUp' and just take a look here at how many fucking jews control the executive department that prince Harry is now a member of:

    BetterUp – leadership page

    BetterUp is a multi-million dollar company headed by an Alexi Robicaux, clearly a jewish name derived from 'Rubin', then Francophiled into 'Robicaux'.  And weirdly, this Alexi dude heading this global and influential company with a royal person on the payroll, does NOT have a wiki page?  Huh?!  WTF?!!!  This in itself speaks volumes.  I mean, really now, Alexie, what the fuck are you trying to hide?!!!!  Only agents of chaos behave in this shadowy manner.

    Dear readers, the 'woke movement' has been weaponized globally and is now using Hollywood-narcissist liberal Megan and brainwashed Harry as global spokespersons to disseminate their warped, fascistic propaganda worldwide, aimed specifically at the younger generation.  Their task is clear: a full-throttle attack on freedom of speech, with their 'cancel culture' as bludgeon against anyone who does not agree with this evil jewy movement.

    But, the good thing about the rise of 'woke culture' into the mainstream (yes, there is a plus) is that it has actually woken up the sleeping masses into an anti-woke resistance state of mind.  We've all been unsuccessfully trying to wake up for decades, so, phew – finally!  Thank you Opera, Megan and Harry for unwittingly triggering and galvanizing people against it!  Though they have not yet made the 'jewish connection', your average Jane and Joe are now actively resisting the oppressive woke movement cuz wadyaknow, they love their freedom of speech and hate the social-wahabism of the 'cancel culture' that the woke movement uses as remorseless 'bully and enforcer'.  The 'cancel culture' is precisely a veritable 'head-chopper' of all opposition narratives.  How very talmudic!  No, the majority of the world does NOT want the sick, twisted, intolerant and un-liberal jewy Hollywood value system where tyrannical minorities rule the roost.  People are now realizing that Identitarian politics is unjust, regressive, destructive and utterly ruinous.  This is a good thing.

    Look, anyone who views humanity through the prism of skin color is racist themself.  It's as simple as that.  (Oprah and Megan here being but two evident examples of black racism).  There are good and bad people in all races.  Racism is NOT a purview of ONLY white-skinned people, as the hypocrite woke culture would have you believe.  Racism is multi-colored and practiced the world over, seemingly since time immemorial.  Fact is, most people of all colors are not themselves racists, but the woke culture is using the issue of racism to COMPLETELY destroy specifically traditional, Western 'white culture': white culture here being a dominant culture simply because white people are a majority in the West.  People have now clocked onto this targeting of white culture and are resisting it.  And they will eventually realize the invisible jewy hand behind this despicable, hateful movement.

    You cannot completely delete all racism from the world.  All you can do is implement equitable laws that apply to all.  It is impossible to institutionalize 'love' or 'hate'.  In a democratic society, all people are allowed to both hate and love whom they choose.  It is against nature itself for a government to impose laws of 'hate and love' on the masses.  It doesn't work!  The human condition is complex and governments tend to be ignorant of the human condition: always busy with focusing on external financial equations than internal human emotional ones.  The woke movement is politicizing the race issue for destructive reasons: they don't give a fuck about harmonious race relations.  We know this because of their vicious attacks on the individual's right to freedom of speech and freedom of 'feeling'.

    With equitable laws enforced on all, I recommend the less we talk about the race issue, the more harmonious race relations get.  Remember, there is only but one race and it's called the human race.

    Regardless of claims of 'progressiveness', ANY ideology that targets your freedom of speech IS THE ENEMY!  No two ways about it.  It's as simple as that.

      Thanks, taxi.

      Case in point; when I worked in The Gambia, quite  few [native] women came to visit me and all of them wanted to have sex. First I thought it was because I’m a  nice guy.

      Wrong.

      I’m white. It was explained to me that those women wanted their kids to have a better chance in life by being less black [most of the women were charcoal black], so sleeping with a white guy was the perfect remedy.

      These were internal factors and had nothing to do with foreigners.

      You’re right, there are bad apples everywhere, but that would be a big minority. Of course, no need to ignore them, but I prefer to focus on the 85% that are good apples [more or less :o]

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks for the story, Daniel. In case you didn’t know, within the (US) black community, racism exists. This is a fact. They call it ‘colorism’: an inter-race prejudice where lighter skinned blacks disparage darker skinned blacks simply for their skin hue. I see it like this: CLEAN UP YOUR FUCKING HOUSE FIRST! In my books, only the innocent/clean-minded are permitted to complain. Everybody else just STFU – you have zero right to complain! Drives me nuts when hypocrisy is married to victimhood! A puke-inducing cocktail that the ‘woke’ movement is obsessed with promoting.

        Sure, despicable opinions are permitted, just don’t fucking force them on me!

        I foresee the woke movement crashing flat on its face. The more they falsely play victim – using the race card, the gender card, the gender-bender card etc – the more this incites people to want to do them harm. Personally, I have no problem ‘doing harm’ to people who attempt to gag me by force. The educated and the uneducated: both agree on this point. Only fascists and cowards (who go along with the fascist cuz they got no spine) would condone the ‘cancellation’ of freedom of speech. Fuck them and the cunt that heaved them out.

      • Daniel Rich says:

        @ taxi,

        As a long as coprolite Joe ‘I was a Test Dummy‘ Biden and his JAP are at the helm [one way or the other], in conjunction with jewish dominated media/TV/movies, they’ll happily fuel the flames of ‘white supremacy’ hatred. 

        A minority is a minority for a reason: you live in a society dominated by the majority. If you’re like me, you won’t suppress any minority for simply being a minority. Once they get in my face and want to control what I’m supposed to think and take away my freedom of speech, go f*** themselves.

        Like you, I hope they drown in their own righteousness, together with their sense of entitlement.

    side note: The global share of US-dollar-denominated exchange reserves dropped to 59.0%  [down from 66% – 2014]. This might be a sign of a shifting world, in which both China and Russia untangle themselves from the hegemonic tentacles of the talmudic driven wall street gangs [and all their minions].

  167. Taxi says:

    Here’s an example of the burgeoning transatlantic resistance to the jewy ‘woke’ movement in the video below – worth your corona time.

    And let us be clear here that even though one may have very little in common with rightists or leftists, it is hard not to give reflexive support to those who are resisting identitarian wokism and its now vicious attacks on freedom of speech that have gone mainstream. Despite their loud megaphones on mainstream media, and we have the jews to thank for this appalling messaging, the woke movement remains very much a minority movement. Let us remember this. Don’t let the echo chamber fool you into thinking that an army of giants are in the room. Currently galvanized to the max (or close enough to the max) the wokers remain a minority. They will lose it, and they will lose in the end.

    Oh and one last thing: hard not to notice how EVERY SINGLE CHARACTERISTIC of the woke movement is lifted straight from the talmud and repackaged with Gentile faces selling the jewy product/ideology of:
    1- entitlement (which is, of course, chosenism)
    2- self-appointed moral high ground (chosenism again)
    3- hyper-sensitivity to criticism (and again, comes from chosenism)
    4- remorseless, guilt-free genocide of opposition/assassination of free speech (once more, from chosenism)
    5- narcissism, sacred-cowism, hypocrisy, delusions of grandeur, beyond reproach, eternal victim etc (yap, more of your chosenism complex exhibited in today’s Gentile wokers).

    It can only get interesting when the talking-heads of the anti-woke movement eventually start connecting the dots of wokism straight to the jew’s black heart, blacker mind, black instructor: the racist, evil, humanity-hating talmud. Only a matter of time when wokephobics with megaphones start calling the spade, a fucking spade.

        Great article Canthama. Thanks for sharing. Woke-ism is so pathetic it would be hysterical if it were not so dangerous to young minds. Taxi hit its conceptual origins on the head in earlier comments about the chosenite world view. Funny, but I've long noticed that conservative women tend to be more attractive than the crazy "liberal" types. (I put lib in quotes because it's true that the left is no longer "liberal" but narrow-minded, despotic and often hateful in their thinking). It seems conservative women applaud the fact that men and women are different (viva la difference!) and try to make themselves attractive to men. And they realize feminine beauty is a mysterious and magnetic power that nature has bestowed upon them. Also, they like men and want to attract them. And they have a positive self image.

        Meanwhile, back here in California, it just gets crazier by the day. I think the very madness of current social and political trends will serve to wake up the sleeping masses (sheeple). A revolt is coming.

      • Taxi says:

        Thanks, Saladin. Hormones (natural chemicals) and pheromones (natural chemicals) are the beastly trigger for attraction between humans. Certainly not political ideology. Sure, the ‘styling’ of many woke women is anti-feminine, which I understand is what you are referring to, but this is purely a subjective preference and aesthetic. We should stop saying ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ – it’s not – it’s in the eye of a chemical tempest.

        In pretty much every conceivable way, men are different to women. There is no escaping this reality. Both sides have a choice: either you position yourself to compliment the other, or expect conflict and repulsion. The question we ask of the current 4th wave of feminism (including male feminists of this rank), as well as misogynists (including female misogynists): what is the end result they expect in their personal lives? Relative gender harmony, or bitterness between the sexes? If harmony is sought after, then it’s paramount that both sides accept and embrace the ‘other’ for who they are (warts and all), or just leave it the fuck alone. A war between the sexes produces no winners.

        And here I will add that misogyny is no different than manogyny (hatred of men) (yes, I just came up with it). No fucking difference whatsoever between misogyny and manogyny. Both are extremists resisting the natural universal law of complementary energies. And both end up losing the gold of all gold in life: happiness.

        Having mildly pontificated on the above, I will also remind you that there is a class of humanity out there that choose the solo journey altogether because, for them, it is time and not love that is the essence of life. I applaud here the hermits of the world who find the melodramas of the sexes to be, well, a meaningless waste of time and energy.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Canthama.  I'm not going to go into the content of your link – some outlandish claims in there, but, whatever…  Really, what I want to bring attention to is how the left has taken up the behaviorism of political fundamentalists, normally the domain of Republicans; while the right wingers now want to be seen as the 'liberal' ones.  Upsidedownism in action.  Everything topsy-turvy now gone full circle.  What used to be left is now right-acting, and what used to be right is not left-acting.

      And the pair can go to the hell, preferably without me and you!

      One does not have to be a 'conservative' to support freedom of speech.  For me, this whole resistance to the 'woke' thing is about freedom of speech and the destruction of the First Amendment, and not about the 2-party paradigm that has brought nothing but ruin to the nation and to pretty much everyone who is not an elite.  I totally reject the label of 'conservative' just because I support freedom of speech.  Freedom of speech is everyone's mantle – it's not the exclusive province of either the left or the right.

        But you’re absolutely right. I always thought of myself as a liberal-mined, social-leaning kinda guy. No more. They’ve taken, in what I believed to be, universal concepts, hollowed them out, stuffed them with all this wokeness crapola and sent them back into the streets to demand white heads be chopped on the block of guilt, set fire to shops, tear down statues [because that really changes history] and demand ‘respect’ for themselves and what they do.

        In The Gambia, at the coast, are the remnants of a fortress that was used for the slave trade. So, I went over there one day to have a look for myself. Once there, I tried to imagine black people [the tribe on ‘our’ side] bringing other black people [the tribe on the other side] to be shipped over the ocean as slaves. The white man didn’t really go deep into the African hinterland in those far-flung corners of the world. Then people start staring at me. So I asked, “What’s the matter? What are you looking at me for?”

        One of them frowned his face and said, as if it was the holy truth, “Your forefathers are responsible for this.”

        Had to pick up my jaw there for a minute.

        I stick to my [moral] guns, because nobody can take that/them away from me. The best way to describe myself today [because I generally do care about people] is as a ‘humanist.’

    Taxi, below are some tweets by Magnier  I saw the link at Xymohora’s and came over to your site to see what you had to say. Surprisingly, nothing so far. Magnier has a later series of tweets mentioning Hizbollah’s plans for a system of storage and distribution of basics. Maybe that’s related to what he was talking about.

    ——

    #Lebanon: I can't share with u the (Valid/tangible) reasons but in 1 year (more or less), the financial situation in Lebanon will drastically improve. Prices of Goods, medicine, oil (et al) will be much cheaper and the Americans and their Gulf allies will wake up & lift sanctions

    The #US and Gulf won't do it out of support and humanitarian approach but out of necessity. I won't give any further explanations but mark my words.

    If I explain why this will happen and what are the elements that will change the financial situation in #Lebanon, the Americans will wake up earlier but won't be able to change the course of events in the direction I foresee. Therefore, no details and no articles about it now.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, dear Sars.  You should not be surprised that I haven't reported on it because zero has actually changed in months, and Lebanon remains in a static crisis where nothing is possible to move or alter, at least for the time being.  Elijah is giving himself clickbait airs for alluding to 'special' information on the Hezb's plan that he is in possession of – yet apparently, he fears that releasing this information now would "wake up [the Americans] earlier."  Do me a fucking favor here puleeez!  What journalist in their right mind would not release golden information like this on the Hezb that would pivot him to the highest ranks of foreign-policy journalism?!  I'm not even going to bother talking about the stupid sensationalism of Elijah's tweets.  And if you've missed the part where I previously stated on several occasions that I no longer follow Magnier's articles, or anything said about the mideast by anemic-on-mideast Western journalists, then here I am reminding you again: I don’t do foreign press on the Mideast anymore. Their information is either old or false, or both.

      I've already explained several times on Plato's how the Hezb operates, and I'm happy to explain it again because it continues to have significance.  It is common knowledge and true that the Hezb conducts its affairs with utmost secrecy and discretion.  Let's just say that in this regard, they hold to the same motto as the British royal family: 'never explain, never complain'.  Aside from a handful of SELECT Hezb inner-circle figures, NOBODY knows what the Hezb is up to, especially non-Lebanese journalists.  Anybody who tells you otherwise is simply a liar and a sensationalist.  Not even Lebanese journalists who have dedicated their whole careers to the Hezb and who are closely affiliated to them know what the Hezb is really up to.  This is a fact.  A fact that frustrates even their lifelong, staunchest supporters.

      Look, the Hezb has two symbiotic branches: a strategic one, and a tactical one.  The strategic branch, when appropriate and applicable, always states with clarity and publicly what its intentions are, ie 'praying in Alaqsa Mosque in Palestine', meaning the death of Israel (this is the most important strategic policy for them).  The Hezb’s strategic branch has also in the past publicly announced its intentions to fight against wahabi terrorism in Syria.  These are two examples of Hezb strategies that emerge directly and publicly out of their strategic branch.  But, the details of these operations are in the hands of the ‘tactical’ branch and this tactical branch is another animal altogether, and all information pertaining to tactics of operations are held very close to the chests of a mere handful of Hezb tacticians.  The tactical branch is therefore COMPLETELY secretive.  Not even Tehran is privy to ALL of the Hezb's tactical information and data.  Only when the Hezb needs extra weaponry or other forms of support from Iran that only several high-ranking Iranian officials get to know what the Hezb’s tactical branch is up to.  This is how tight-lipped the Hezb’s tactical branch is.  So, for the Magniers of the world to go around saying 'they know the Hezb plan' is complete and utter bs, at best: a good guesstimate.

      The information that Elijah references re Hezb food storage etc is at least one and a half years old.  Nasrallah told us this himself during one of his speeches, and since that time, a proliferation of agricultural and manufacturing cottage industries has erupted in Lebanese areas that are under the sphere of influence and protection of the Hezb.  These projects in essence are to revive traditional Lebanese industries that were killed off by the assassinated Rafiq Hariri and his globalism projects; as well as to counter Trump’s sanctions on the Lebanon.  The same Hezb model for war preparations regarding food and other life sustenance materials was applied here.  Now the Hezb not only has depots of food stuff reserved for wartime, but also, separate depots for sanction times.  And this is working a-ok as evidenced by the fact that Hezb neighborhoods are suffering the least under US sanctions.  I can tell you that this past year, numerous farming projects have erupted even here in the village where I live.  The remote outskirts of the village where I normally walk my dogs have now been transformed into agricultural farms that have already begun harvesting vegetables, pulses and herbs.  My village is now completely surrounded by newly farmed land, and not by wild, arable land like it used to only a few months ago.  Now I need to go further out into the wild hills to walk my pack of dogs in peace.  So Elijah’s info regarding depots etc is true, but it is old news, visible to all eyes, and common knowledge to all the natives.  And his assertion that the Hezb has a plan to break the sanctions within a year is also questionable.  He is waaaay overestimating here.  For all their military power and might, the Hezb actually does not have enough internal political currency to break the economic siege on Lebanon: for instance, they do not have the political ability to unilaterally and officially drive Lebanon into the arms of Russia, China, Iran etc and away from the US.  If they did have such muscle, they would have used it months ago – and this kind of muscle does not grow overnight, but over a long period of time, ie with every successful election that takes place every four years, their political muscle grows just a little more.

      Really, if Elijah wanted to talk about the Hezb with any authority, he should be telling people about this here bit of interesting and important development that occurred only a couple of days ago.  After last month’s successful Hezb visit to Moscow, Putin, a few days ago, officially invited the Hezb to open an office in Moscow.  Let me repeat: Putin has invited Hezbollah to officially open an office in Moscow and OMG this is fucking huge!  This, again, confirms that the Hezb is indeed a major regional player that is now very closely allied, for all intents and purposes, to a superpower.  And this invitation was triggered on the heels of the Chinese deal with Iran.  Do you see the geostrategic importance of this development to the Eastern Axis?  Iran is now under the Chinese umbrella, and the Hezb is under the Russian one.  Signed, sealed and delivered.  There is much more to analyze about this geostrategic alliance, but suffice it to say for now that regionally speaking, wherever the Hezb and Iran’s spheres of influence are, now you find Chinese and Russian hegemony expanding AND clinging.  The US’s Mideastern hegemony map is now like Swiss cheese: holes and vacuums here and there, getting filled now by either China or Russia.

      This does not bode well for Pax Americana and its allies, but bodes excellently for the Axis of Resistance.

      And let me add here that, in my estimation, had it not been for the Covid pandemic, as well as the terrorist attack on Beirut Port, we would have already seen a war between Israel and the Hezb.  We can then say that Covid has acted as a delayer of the inevitable war, despite it destroying businesses and killing as many people as, say for example, an average border war would have caused.  BUT, Covid has NOT cancelled the coming war.  This event will still be taking place.

      Finally, succinctly: any journalist, Lebanese or not, who claims direct access to ‘special’ information on the Hezb is a fucking liar and their articles should be read with a pinch of salt on tongue, if read at all.  The Hezb has its own official Press department that disseminates information DIRECTLY from the Hezb.  So, if you find information on the Hezb out there that’s not been sourced from the Hezb’s official Press office, you can be sure that it’s either guesswork, or propaganda.  Remember this in the future, please.

      I hope the above informs and clarifies.

      Y’all have a great Sunday.

      Hey emersonreturn, hope you're keeping well.  I haven't been following anything Syria for some weeks now, but I did hear from my gardener a few days ago that apparently, for the first time in several years, the Syrian army had released a statement saying that they are "readying to charge at Idlib to cleanse it from terrorists" – and usually, it's the Russian military that had been taking the lead in announcing offensive operations.  This new statement by the Syria army means that its soldiers, backed by Hezbollah cells, will be entering Idlib territories, while the Russians give all support possible, sans Russian boots on the ground.  My gardener was informed this by his cousin who is a Hezb fighter presently readying to go to Syria.

      We wish the cousin, and all other resistance fighters in the four corners of the world, all the luck and love on their decisive and somber missions against evil itself.

  173. Frankie P says:

    Excellent information and comment, Taxi. Glad to hear about Putin's invitation to Hezbollah. They certainly are a major regional player, the strongest military presence in Lebanon and a potent force in other countries, from Syria to Yemen to Iraq. I think, however, it's premature to state that Iran is under China's umbrella and Hezbollah is under Russia's. This implies that China and Russia would be obligated to respond to attacks on these players (Iran and Hezbollah) by the big Satan or small Satan. I don't think that's the case at present, but future developments could lead us to that eventuality, and wouldn't that be a great day for the global resistance?

    Lots of love from Taiwan,

    • Taxi says:

      Always a pleasure to see you commenting on Plato's, dear Frankie P – you always put a smile on my face.

      And you're correct in pointing out my "umbrella" statement.  I definitely used the wrong expression here.  And it's an incorrect semantic because, really, Iran does not need anyone's umbrella to defend itself against the 'big and little satans' of the world.  It has already shown us that it can take care of its business when need be. 

      Iran and China refer to each other as 'strategic partners' – emphasis here on the word 'partners'.  Iran is too powerful to be a mere 'satellite' or a 'proxy' under the tutelage of China, or any other nation for that matter.  This, plus Iran has plenty of something that China wants: oil, and this in itself insures respectful cooperation and a positive equilibrium between the two trading nations.  Not forgetting here that, if memory serves, president Xi a couple of years ago stated that China 'will protect its strategic allies' – or something to that effect (Putin did same too).  And let us here also remember what 'strategic' actually means.  It means that ALL the partners' files and aspects are of interest to one another – all of them – this includes: military, political, finance, cyber, industrial, energy, pharma, farming, education etc: all these files are supported by the other partner.  In this regard, being a strategic partner is tantamount to having a defense pact: which is definitely not an 'umbrella', but a mutual agreement that serves the national security as well as the prosperity of both nations.

      And I also made the same 'umbrella' mistake when pairing the Hezb with Russia.  To the Russians, the Hezb makes for a fantastically great ally, especially, like you mentioned, that the Hezb's sphere of influence stretches from the Mediterranean to Yemen, to Iraq and even to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and not forgetting here even to South America.  The Hezb is a stable and able force to be reckoned with, as the Russians themselves discovered while fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with them in Syria.  From their allegiance, the Hezb gains far-reaching legitimacy both regionally and globally, while the Russians gain a solid and reliable ally in an insecure region that Russia aims to influence and stabilize for its own geostrategic and national security.  Though not quiet strategic partners, like China and Iran are, the Hezbollah are seen as a 'high-value' ally by the Russians.  I would even go as far as saying that the Hezb is the most important non-state ally that the Russians have.  This alliance is worth its weight in gold for both the Hezb and Russia, and obviously, the invite to Hezbollah to open an office in Moscow clearly indicates that the Russians would very much like to take this relationship further and deeper, as indeed, so does the Hezb, as indicated by their acceptance of the Russian invite.  There is definitely room for much growth in the Russia-Hezb relationship, and I believe both sides will utilize it and gain substantial substance from it.  Notable here, too, that despite the jewish influence on Russian mideast foreign policy, the talmudiz have not been able to put a spanner in the works of the growing relationship between the Hezb and Moscow.  The jews must have smoke coming out of their ears from rage to see the tightening bond between Russia and the Hezb.  And I hope this rage destroys the fuckers and their anti-humanitarian, genocidal project.

      Sending love from the Levant.

    • sarz says:

      Being in an alliance is a tricky thing for both Iran and China. There are reports that 6000 Chinese troops are in Iran "to protect their investment." There are demonstrations in Iran against this perceived surrender of Irani sovereignty, going as it does against declared principles. There seems nonetheless to be a real alliance here, rooted in real mutual respect. I am reminded of Ramin Mazaheri's many pieces over at Saker's arguing that Iran is truly a socialist state. If this is a real alliance, it is a world-changer, the beginning of a world of sovereign states able to take on the globalist empire. 

  174. Frankie P says:

    Dearest Taxi,

    I agree with the entirety of your post, and I am constantly heartened and encouraged by the mutual respect and understanding displayed by China, Iran and Russia, and now Hezbollah as well. The traditional diplomacy is always respectful of individual sovereignty, and the growing mutual support will eventually result in security agreements that will entail defense commitments. Unlike the US, these nations take their commitments seriously, and again, this is traditional state craft at its best. As China brings to bear its manufacturing and infrastructure clout to benefit Iran, the Jews wielding the levers of power in our nation as well as Europe will become more and more desperate. The huge benefits that Iran will reap from continuing development in transportation (high speed rail, ports), communications (5G networks), industrial capacity will bring about a miraculous change in a nation that has been able to make significant gains even while under constant sanctions. The Chinese thumbing their noses at the US sanctions will be like the first few stones in a massive rockslide, as eventually more countries will find the courage to trade to benefit their own citizens. The discounted oil to China will likewise make that country more energy independent, and the beauty of the whole deal, all $400 billion of it, is the fact that no money really needs to change hands. This is barter at its finest and grandest. Nothing will ever require even one USD, and that is also a thing of beauty that makes the evil bankers furious. 

    I will try to drop comments more often. I have always enjoyed the atmosphere here at Plato's.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Canthama.  Have you noticed how 'quiet' the media jews have been of late?  Just standing on the sideline and watching the fruits of their Identitarian project bloom in the US and Europe?  When jews are quiet, it means that they're in between 'stages' of operation.  They are currently pulling Covid strings (from behind the black curtain) to enforce more restrictions on the masses, in preparation for the next stage of their talmudic domination of the West.  And they are pulling the Identitarian strings, dividing up nations so as to identify 'rebel' elements and personalities for future targeting.  Their Iran issue is ongoing, and you are correct in saying they are losing in this regard: herding Iran's nuclear project has now become impossible – and attacking it full force only invites the certain destruction of tel aviv.  They do not have the ability to pull those Iran strings, except for small sabotage ops on Iran's nuclear plants here and there.  So fucking what?  Have at it, Netanyahu – won't get you what you need anyway.  Tehran knows this.  And Tehran knows how to respond to these futile attempts too.  It used to be shocking when jews attacked Iran's nuclear facilities.  Now, it barely registers a handful of headlines.  Nobody cares anymore.  People are more concerned with their own VAST problems nowadays to pay much attention to the manufactured, vile 'eternal victim'.

  176. sarz says:

    Taxi, can you tell us what Alastair Crooke is about? He writes regularly for the Moscow-based Strategic Culture organisation. Quite clued-in stuff. But he’s also ‘retired’ MI-6 and living in Beirut where he’s the founder and director of something called the Conflicts Forum. I’m wondering what your Lebanese friend who just passed away thought of Crooke—if he ever expressed an opinion. 

    • sarz says:

      Hello Taxi. My question to you about Crooke was a sort of hit-and-run. I'd been meaning to ask you for a while, so today after reading a good piece by him, I came over and dropped my question and left, not seeing you had already posted that excellent interview with Afshin Rattansi. I'd still like to know the views of Lebanese intellectuals about him. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz.  Intel agents – be they ex or current – and who live in Lebanon are there to serve their country and not the Lebanon.  (Same applies to all Intel agents living in foreign countries: they serve, first and foremost, their own nation's interest).  As far as Alastair Crooke is concerned, he is regarded by Leb intelligentsia as a dying breed of 'Arabists' – a breed that used to be dominant in the middle east sphere till the jews fully took over DC, Paris and London and sniped them out of their position.  The difference between an 'Arabist' and jew-selected Intel agent is that an Arabist's report is accurate, whereas a planted agent's report is propaganda, as per instruction from his/her higher up.  Alastair Crooke has a positive reputation in the Levant – he is considered to be a true professional who continues to thrive on his high reputation: a reputation that he has cultivated over decades of fair commentary.  I don't recall the late, great Anis Naquash mentioning Crooke by name, but this doesn't surprise as Anis was not in the habit of critiquing or praising 'personalities' because he is steeped and interested only in the universe of ideas, and not personality.  He critiques ideas and not writers or analysts.  I have no doubt he would have been fully aware of Crooke, after all, all agents and ex agents living in small Lebanon are very well known to Lebanese intelligentsia.

  177. sarz says:

    Thanks, Taxi. I’m still puzzled as to his ‘business model’. I can’t seem to see that one-percent disinformation being slipped in anywhere, the partial hangout one gets with intelligence professionals. I can see the need for his country to have objective advice, but going public with it is something else. He has an astonishingly broad intellectual scope and his readings of current events are pointed. So I am guided by him without knowing finally where he’s coming from. Here is another crucial piece from today:

    https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2021/04/19/a-middle-east-in-motion/

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for the link, dear Sarz. Proper intelligence has no prejudice, as exhibited by your link above. For want of a better word, it is ‘scientific’, that is: it employs scientific methodology for collecting and collating information. You are mystified because for the past at least 3 decades, intelligence gathering, as instructed by intelligence bosses has been pickled in prejudice and ideology, as opposed to the traditional path of no prejudice. In other words, the public has by now gotten used to the notion that gov intel is cooked up to serve the agenda of MIC. When you are an ex intel personnel, you are allowed to give a ‘scientific’ public appraisal/analysis so long as the info does not threaten the security of your ex agency or its members. This is what ex intels like Alastair Crooke and Bob Baer (ex CIA) have been doing – although, I have to say here that I trust Crooke by far more than I do Bob Baer. Crooke has consistent self-respect and integrity and he does actually give a fuck about his reputation. Bob Baer has a pattern of going rogue here and there. What they both have in common though is that they both release information that expose the malign intention of wars of choice that the msm promote. This exposure is a perfectly legal activity that no ex intel boss can put the kibosh on.

      • Saladin says:

        Thanks Taxi for your commentary about Crooke. Your "insider" perspective is invaluable on so many topics, especially, of course, Lebanon and the Party of God. It's my love for brave Hez that brought me here in the first place. I've enjoyed some of Crooke's articles over the years. He wrote one after 2006 war entitled something like "How Hez defeated Israel in the 2006 war." Nicholas Blanford is another mideast "scholar" with boots on the ground contact with Hez over the years; he used to write quite fairly from a western perspective, considering his bosses and the zionist context in which he has to work, though I have not read anything from him in years. Perhaps you would like to comment on N. Blanford also. I always got the impression that he really did admire Hez, though trying carefully not to appear to take sides. I believe he was married to a Lebanese woman.

        On another tack, there is growing concern by all but the oblivious that Russia and Ukraine may soon explode in war. I sense there are idiots in the Pentagon who want to drag the US in and confront Putin. I think we all can guess who the behind-the-curtain mischief makers are in this dangerous international intrigue. Russia is ready to act, and with a display of power not seen since they invaded Georgia in 2008. I'd love to hear your take on those developments Taxi (and anyone else here), and their possible ramifications for the coming Hez war against the settler state.

      • Taxi says:

        Hey Saladin. Many thanks for reminding me of the great yet understated Nicholas Blandford. I’ve never read his books but I did used to read his articles in the msm, back in the days when I did read the msm (I avoid reading them these days). The internet doesn’t show any recent articles by Blandford for the past two years or so – I suspect he may either have retired from journalism and taken up a ‘consultancy’ position in some company. Or, he’s busy writing a new book. And btw, many journalists specializing in the middle east take up positions in non-political corporations and companies as consultants: giving analysis to such companies who trade with the middle east and who need a ‘security’ report before they invest in mideast projects.

        I see the Ukraine experiencing containable outbreaks of civil unrest here and there, but I do not foresee a major civil war breaking out there – at least not during the Covid pandemic. The problem with starting wars of choice during Covid is that your supply route is not guaranteed, and neither is the health of your army. An outbreak of covid in the military can occur at any given time so the number of soldiers available for war is also not guaranteed. And personnel working the supply route are also open to infection – by sabotage or by natural transmission. Nobody goes to war without soldier numbers and supply routes guaranteed. It’s just suicide to launch a war of choice under such insecure conditions. No military strategist worth their salt would ever recommend or promote such a war.

      • Taxi says:

        … And, one last thing: if memory serves, I don’t remember reading any serious insights into Hezbollah from Blandford’s articles, so, I personally wouldn’t describe him as an “insider”. I mean he was pretty good, but not mindblowing. And like I said upthread, there really aren’t any non-leb media persons who are Hezb “insiders”. Such an animal simply does not exist. Information on the Hezb is usually supplied to foreigners by locals ‘in the know’, therefore the acquired information is limited to what the local info-supplier knows (obviously, some locals have better information than others). Apart from Assange, I don’t recall Nasrallah ever accepting to be interviewed by Western, English-speaking journalists. Yes, Assange chose Nasrallah as first guest on ‘The Julian Assange Show’, back in the day. If you haven’t seen this interview, here it is:

    • Saladin says:

      Thanks Taxi. 

      Regarding Nicholas Blandford, he did author an excellent book called "Warriors of God: inside Hezbollah's 30 year Struggle against israel." It is, in my view, a terrific read; lots of historical incidents and anecdotes. And though"balanced," Blandford clearly, to my mind, sympathizes with Hez. The fact that pro-israel sources apparently don't like the book speaks for itself. Published in 2011 but still worth the read.

      @ Canthama,

      When one steps into a [boxing] ring, words become worthless; only [real] punches count. 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Canthama. Here’s what I’ve got on this incident, which is actually 3 days old by now.

      Three days ago, here in the south and for the first time in quite a while, we had the israeli air force flying overhead just before sunset and doing so for at least one and a half hours – just buzzing and buzzing and buzzing away for a really long time. Then, in the early evening, we heard from the jewish press that a ‘mysterious’ explosion in an israeli missile factory near Jerusalem had occurred – this was the initial first report. Subsequently, and throughout the rest of the night, israel forced a gag order on its media releasing any further information on the ‘missile factory near Jerusalem’ story, and instead, the story of a Syrian attack “near the Dimona” began to circulate, with apparently israel attempting to retaliate against Syria, but failing due to Russian missile deterrence (the Russians used Russian missiles to deter, as opposed to destroy). Since then, little to no information on this incident has been released by israel – or by any other party, for that matter.

      So, OK, let’s together look at this ‘cover up’ by the israeli military – and we know that some kind of jewish cover up is involved because the israeli press has been kiboshed by the israeli military immediately after the first initial report. We know that israel definitely attempted to strike at Syria later on in the night but failed, thanks to Russia. This attempted strike on Syria by israel is about the only fact that’s weaved into the bullshit story of ‘a Syrian attack near the Dimona’. We know there was a big explosion near Jerusalem, but, who done it?

      To me, it looks like this: in order not to create panic in the jewish state, the jewish military needed to change the location of the explosion from Jerusalem to ‘near the Dimona’ – Dimona here being a trigger word for jews: a word that incites/inspires holocaust-related victimhood in the jewish mind. The jewish state would rather have the narrative of ‘we were attacked in a non residential area’, instead of ‘an explosion occurred in one of our missile factories that’s near residential Jerusalem’: because this would create many-many security questions that the jewish state does not want to answer. A real conundrum for the jew strategists here. We also know that a few years ago, Hamas sent a message to the jews by sending a couple of missiles that intentionally landed near the Dimona, as opposed to actually striking it. So, if this ‘near the Dimona’ strike came from Gaza, israel’s military would be forced to promptly respond in Gaza, but it didn’t do this, as it normally does. And even if Hamas was behind this explosion, striking at Gaza is presently undesirable for the israelis as it would destabilize israeli society, what with covid still running wild in the jewish state and army, and especially that their political decision-making is currently crippled due to the voting crisis that israel finds itself in today. For israel to strike at Gaza, for daring again to strike at the Dimona, would also be handing Hamas a HUGE PR victory, a victory that would create panic in jewish society. So, Gaza is not the culprit here – otherwise they would have claimed the strike themselves, as they normally claim all their strikes. We also know that it’s not Hezbollah’s style to go striking willy-nilly at israel, especially during Ramadan. Furthermore, we also know that Syria has no strategic logic or value to strike near the Dimona just for the sake of it – but, nevertheless, the jews retaliated against Syria because it is currently the weakest link in the Levant resistance and tel aviv needs to show israeli jews that their defensive posture is still active and working to protect jews inside israel. After all, it’s easier for israel to strike at Syria nowadays than it is to strike at Hamas or Hezbollah. This leaves, as culprit…. Iran! Yes, I’m seeing Iran in the picture. I’m seeing it as Iran’s quiet retaliation against the mosad op of last week on its nuclear facility in Natanz. A retaliation that uses cyber attack instead of launching a missile from Iranian or Syrian territory. And here is the cherry on the cake: israel cannot say it’s an Iranian cyber attack on an israeli missile factory – tantamount to admitting that a mega sabotage of israeli cyber security by Iranians had caused the explosion. This in itself would create a much bigger panic in the minds of jews than even ‘Hamas or Hezbollah did it’. Admitting to a successful Iranian cyber attack against an israeli military compound is about the worst thing that tel aviv can admit to.

      In conclusion, I see this incident as a very successful Iranian cyber attack against the terrorist jewish state. This explains the unusual hush-hush approach that the israeli military has enforced on this story. And of course, Iran too is hush-hush about it as well. They don’t need to be dancing in the streets at the success of this cyber attack for us to know that Tehran is behind this incident. The Iranians retaliated with a very forceful message: ‘you touch our facilities again and we guarantee we will touch yours, again’.

      The truth is that israeli deterrence is now at its weakest ever, all due to the Resistors’ continuous advancing technological stride. The security of israel has never been so open to targeting. Nothing in israel is beyond reach now – everywhere is presently checked by the Resistance. And THIS is the very news that the jewish military wants to keep away from jewish residents in israel. If israeli jews really-really knew how geostrategically weak they’ve become, and with no reversal in sight, they would start packing suitcases and leaving israel pronto. Israeli strategists consider reverse-Aliya (leaving israel) to be a very dangerous thing for the continuation of the state’s very existence – on par with the existential danger that Hezbollah presents to the jewish state. Tel aviv will do absolutely anything to avoid reverse-Aliya.

      I say: bravo Iran, you make us proud when you stump and stomp on that vile little satan.

      • Canthama says:

        Taxi, this makes all the sense, the narrative of an errant S200 is BS at max…none I know on social media bought that since it is impossible due to fuel range. Clearly the apartheid regime has deep problems, Iran retaliation due to Natanzs makes sense and using cyber attack is even more likely indeed, the fact does not change, the apartheid regime is weak, pretending postures and to be stronger then it is, and can't we all sense the incredible  feeling of fear from them ? 

        Maybe this is it, their end is really approaching.

    Hi all, it's been a while since I posted here and I have a lot of catching up to do reading the excellent comments and getting links to great information and analysis.

    I did double check to see if anyone had posted Gilad's write ups as to how disastrous the vaccine rollout has been for Israel. Even though I know that Jewish elites are actually contemptuous of their own (just as American elites – many of whom are Jewish – are contemptuous of Americans), I was still pretty shocked that the Tribe would allow the country of Israel to be guinea pigs or worse for these experimental (perhaps we should call them expire-mental?) "vaccines".

    Some excerpts from the article which is about a report from the IPC:

    "The Israeli People Committee (IPC), a civilian body made of leading Israeli health experts, has published its April report into the Pfizer vaccine’s side effects. The findings are catastrophic on every possible level."

    "Statistical analysis of information from the Central Bureau of Statistics, combined with information from the Ministry of Health, leads to the conclusion that the mortality rate amongst the vaccinated is estimated at about 1: 5000 (1: 13000 at ages 20-49, 1: 6000 at ages 50-69, 1: 1600 at ages 70+). According to this estimate, it is possible to estimate the number of deaths in Israel in proximity of the vaccine, as of today, at about 1000-1100 people."

      How lovely to have you visit, dear Golden Rule Please. I trust you’re keeping well – coping and not moping in these, our sad and bitter times.

      Thanks for the link and commentary. I haven’t read Gilad for a while, but I do have an ongoing email correspondence with him – despite it being sparse of late. And I will add to your israel being a covid “guinea pig” nation with: it’s not just covid, everything about israel is a monstrous experiment in the devil’s laboratory. What you have cited is proof positive that zionism doesn’t give a fuck about jews.

    The Saker has an article linked from Al-Binaa stating that the Axis of resistance is on a war alert. I can't link to it but is easy to find.

    Also have read a theory that Iran captured in real time the cyber virus (Stutnex?) used to target their facility and sent it back to the Jooz. If so that is a huge victory.

    Cheers.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks dear grr – good to hear from you. And thanks Daniel and Sarz too for the links you provided – all of them leading to exactly the same article-content.

      The article everyone is referencing quotes Nasser Qandil: a top mideast analyst and a man who is exceptionally well-connected to Hezbollah. His relationship with them goes back to day one of the birth of Hezbollah. He is not a Hezb member himself, but he has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them for decades: having himself been a resistance fighter during the long israeli occupation of Lebanon. And for what it’s worth, he is also a painter, a sculptor, an economist and an all round well-informed political scientist, literati and historian. A renaissance man whose life’s preoccupations and activities parallel those of Anis Naqash (RIP). Qandil is actually my second most favorite analyst in the world, after the departed Anis Naquash, who, despite his death, for me remains numero uno. I’ve long been in the habit of following Qandil’s youtube channel, but since Anis’ passing several months ago, I’ve sunk into mental disinterest in everything politics, so much so that I’ve not even had it in me to continue following even the great Nasser Kandil on youtube. Anis’s passing really did knock the wind out of me – I can’t even read political articles anymore, and the handful that I’ve recently read during the past several months have been mentally painful to go through. But, in order to engage with your comment and give it a fair response, I did visit your referenced article just now – it wasn’t painful to read (maybe I’m feeling a little better about politics?) – and here is what I think:

      All info in the article is correct: everything that Nasser Qandil says is true – but, it’s not the first time he’s said it. Of course, the Resistance is ALWAYS on high alert for breakout of war, so this statement and its implications should be taken as the norm and not the exception: not as ‘breaking news’ for sure. The threat of attacking israel proper if it continues its wanton attacks on Syria, as well as its ceaseless sabotage of Iranian institutions and assassinations of Iranian high-value figures, is actually old news too. I’ve personally heard Qandil say exactly the same thing several times in the past. Iran and the Resistance have been broadcasting this message loud and clear, especially since the assassination of General Quasim Suleimani. What’s new, however, is that the Biden admin has been recently forced to hear this ‘old message’ – whereas Trump before him was willfully deaf to it. Moreover, what’s also new is the existentially sharp geopolitical pincer that israel TODAY finds itself in, combined with a US administration that has returned to the Iran nuke file, after Trump discarded it so unceremoniously just to please the jew, Sheldon Adleson. Also, what’s new is America’s lack of confidence in the israeli military’s ability to win wars. US military Intel has ascertained, based on israeli battle-performance during recent wars, including the Gaza wars and Gaza border skirmishes, that Israel indeed has the capability to win wars, ie the right weapons etc, but NOT the ability to perform successfully on the battlefield. This is now the grading of the israeli military on US’s books – and this assessment has now also been recorded in the books of the military Intels of many world nations: all based on israel’s poor war performance for the past several decades.

      Yes, Biden has heard the Iran-Resistance message/warning and is hammering tel aviv with ‘containment pressure’, assisted by anti-Likud American power-jews who want to ‘save and preserve israel’ by keeping it out of wars and out of ANY military confrontation with ANY of its many enemies, be they large or small enemies. They want zero military activity by israel – for the time being, that is. They are ‘scared for israel’ because they know that the jews don’t have a chance in hell in winning a war against Iran and the Resistance. And, Netanyahu will have to submit to the Biden pressure and cease military missions outside of israel’s borders. Really, I should say: Netanyahu will be forced to ‘temporarily’ halt all military missions against Iran and the Resistance. Under the circumstances, he has no other choice but to submit to the the American cuff and chain.

      So, israel’s hands are today in chains because it knows it can’t go it alone against the Resistance and Iran, and Biden and the Pentagon would not support israel with US boots on the ground in a new israeli war-of-choice. The Pentagon will not partner its soldiers with an army that has not won a war since 1973 – no sound military honcho would. Sure the US will provide israel with plenty of ammo, intel and protection at the UN during wartime, but they’ve already done this during israel’s war with the Hezb in 2006 and it didn’t work – the ‘support’ wasn’t sufficient to guarantee victory for israel.

      Are you getting a clear picture now of the haggard state that israel finds itself in today? Its security and military safety net are no longer working, or available. The Resistance, simply by becoming advanced and stronger on all levels, especially the technological one, has sucked the power right out of israel, without the Resistance even having to go to war with it.

      What we have now is an American condition where everything domestic and foreign is on the rapid decline, forcing thus the current admin to operate out of ‘American interests first’, as opposed to the old chestnut of ‘we’re strong enough to lift israel’s interests first’. Think of America here as a drowning man who can only be concerned with saving himself first, not his sinking girlfriend. I mean, he wants to save her, but he can’t. This is a brand new picture and chapter in the relationship between israel and the US. I should really be writing a new article on this new dynamic, but alas, am not ready to dive into the vile swamp of political thinking and writing yet – I guess a few remarks and indicators will have to do for now.

      Okay, so considering the information in all the above paragraphs, what can israel do to reverse its current poor fortunes? How the fuck can it get out of this geostrategic limbo? I mean it has tried direct war with some of its enemies and failed. Tried color revolutions in enemy countries and failed. Inflicted violent wahabism on its enemies and failed. Tried assassinations and failed. Tried sanctions and failed. Tried ‘strategic’ missile bombing missions and failed. All its demonization and propaganda against its enemies has also failed. Everything, EVERYTHING it has tried has failed. So, to answer the posed question above of ‘what can israel do to reverse its current slo-mo collapse’ is… NOTHING! NOTHING-NOTHING-NOTHING! Israel really is a cripple right now. Hands in chains. Legs wobbly from fear of the Resistance. Covid Mecca of the Levant. Political disarray and irreconcilable political divisions. Growing disparity between rich jew and poor jew. Growing hostility between the religious jews and the secular ones. The worst inflation in the history of israel. World losing interest in the holocaust (scam). It’s only friends in the region are despotic and profoundly hated and loathed. You name it: today, everything is bad in israel, and for israel. But how long can israel live like this for? How long can it just sit on the sidelines, as ordered by the US, and watch the Resistance get stronger and stronger while it gets weaker and weaker? How long? Probably not long. The insane monster that it is, it is bound to snap into lunatic actions and miscalculations sooner than later.

      And this is precisely what the Resistance is praying for: to go to war with a provocative lunatic who can’t even tie his own army bootlace. Easy peasy.

      Strategic patience will pay off at the end of the day. And who are the Iranians but masters of strategic patience? And, indeed, they have taught this crucial art to all the members of the Axis of Resistance.

    Another example how one of the smallest nations on earth controls 76% of the U.S. Congress.

    Two weeks ago several senators introduced a bill that would disallow Israel using any of the billions of free dollars given them by the U.S. to support any anti-Palestinian spending, such as bull-dozing down their homes. At the blink of an eye, the controlling lobby group the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) created a form letter addressed to the House Appropriation Committee chairman and gained the signatures of 330 (from both parties) congressmen in support – the letter demanding no conditions of any kind allowed over how Israel uses the funds. Perhaps some of the 24% that have not yet signed will do so. Perhaps also those that refuse to sign may find their chances of re-election significantly reduced. Unbelievable power.

      @ MF,

      The question is; why do people vote for politicians that’re fully focused on a foreign entity [Occupied Palestine] and not their constituencies or the entire population at large…?

      But you’re right. The power of these clowns reaches way too deep and far into the lives of ordinary citizens. Besides that, it’s so f***ing obvious what’s going on, that I can’t believe you, I and a handful others are the only ones seeing this.

  185. Daniel Rich says:

    The Syrian missile missed its target but went on to land some 250 km deep in Israel, 40 km away from the Dimona nuclear reactor. The Israeli military attempted to intercept the missile. However, it ultimately failed. The advanced Israeli Arrow anti-missile system was blamed.”

    Aside of the usual BS and lies, all the FUKZUS’ Wunderwaffen [aka AA] fail to do their job [both in Iraq – US military base, as, supposedly in this case -although I’m very, very skeptical about the latter].

    @ taxi,

    Here’s hoping your book is coming together apace :o] 

    • Canthama says:

      Daniel, Taxi gave us a awesome comprehensive view of the two explosions…near Dimona and near al Quds, which pointed out to Iran. Below there is the unpublished next article from Elijah on this subject, though we all know we should have some reservations, but it adds a bit on the subject. He also points to Syria-Iran long due "the game is over, payback has come". One thing is clear…the Apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine is weak, and now, they were made aware how f•cked up they are…either they tone down their criminal arrogance or it will be annihilation. The article below gives some more speculations to think about on type of missiles and reactions in general, 

       

      Syria launched a missile towards Israel: payback time?

      By Elijah J. Magnier:

      The Syria air defence system near the capital Damascus launched a missile as Israeli jets were hovering above the occupied Golan Heights and bombing Syrian army targets near the Golan Heights. The Syrian missile landed 30 kilometres away from the most protected and secret Israeli Dimona nuclear reactor in the Negev. The distance between Damascus and Dimona nuclear site is 296 km, long enough that it seems astonishing that it was insufficient for the Israeli interception defence system to neutralise the missile. Was this promised Iranian retaliation for the Israeli sabotage attack on the Natanz nuclear reactor or a simple errant missile?

      Israeli media and spokesperson of the Israeli army downplayed the event, describing the missile as an “errant surface-to-air S-200 (SA-5)”. It is striking that Israel’s most sophisticated interception system failed to down the missile. Others recalled a similar confrontation in 2019 when a stray Syrian anti-air missile hit Northern Cyprus. Former Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman took the opportunity to criticise Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, accused of “being asleep during the night shift” and failed to intercept the Syrian missile.

      It is unusual for Israel not to offer proof of a missile launched against one of its most sensitive sites. A fin or engine of the missile would have made it possible to determine if it was a 1967 SA-5 missile or a 2012-Iranian Fateh-110 surface-to-surface missile – that Syria manufactures under the name of M-600 – as claimed by an Iranian IRGC general. If the Iranian version is plausible, the idea that the missile was a Syrian-Iranian “message” and that the time has come to settle the open account is conceivable. This has triggered a reaction from Israeli asking to be told the truth about the missile launched from Syria and the massive explosion at the Tomer defence missile motors manufacture outside the town of Ramle.

      The SA-5 surface to air missile is 10.8 meters long with radio waves, infrared flight guidance systems and aerodynamic manoeuvring wings. Modern jets may be able to avoid this old soviet missile that downed an Israeli F-16 in 2018. Therefore, when the missile reaches its range and fails to destroy the target, it is equipped with self-destruction apparatus to explode before getting to the ground. In contrast, the 8.9-meter-long Fateh-110 is a surface-to-surface missile that follows a trajectory with satellite guidance by knowing the target's position. Only the third (Fateh-110 block 3) and fourth-generation (Fateh-110-D1) of Fateh has a 300 km range. The fourth-generation Fateh-110-D1 (Fateh Mobin) also has an infrared imaging sensor for thermal guidance. Both Syria and the Lebanese Hezbollah are equipped with the Fateh-110.

      Israel claimed the missile launched from Syria exploded in the sky, although images shared on social media implied a powerful ground explosion. However, the Israelis confirmed that the missile was not intercepted. Therefore, the idea of explosion in the sky after over 250 km of trajectory seems excluded because the missile reached around 266 kilometres range before the impact.

      The understandable conclusion is that Israel wants to avoid escalation with Syria and Iran. The version of an “errant missile” is convenient. It is supposed that the self-destruction mechanism has failed to allow the missile to explode after reaching the ground. By offering several contradictory versions, Israel would like to leave this event behind and avoid details. It remains a humiliation that a 1967 surface-to-air missile managed to sneak in and avoided all its recently upgraded interception missiles.

      Had Israel opted for the Fateh-110 version, it would mean the decision to fire the missile came from President Bashar al-Assad himself, telling Israel that payback time has come. Moreover, it would have also implied the level of harmony between Syria and Iran, where both allies have a common interest in retaliating against Israel’s numerous violations with a missile. For Iran, it would be a response to the Israeli Natanz’s sabotage. This version acutely embarrasses Prime Minister Netanyahu, whose over 1000 attacks on Syria failed to achieve Israel’s objectives.

      Syria and Iran are showing Israel that they are strong allies, sending a unified message. The Israeli Iron Dome system definitely appears to be a failure, promising little protection when multiple missiles from different locations are launched against Israel in time of war.

      The US also opted for a soft-version, conveniently adopting the SA-5 version: CENTCOM commander-general Franck McKenzie blamed Syria’s “incompetence” for the “errant missile” to downplay the event, adding he did not believe it was “an intentional attack”. The US is not in a mood to be dragged by Israel to a tit-for-tat and has other priorities. Besides, Israel was the aggressor and had been unlawfully bombing Syria for years. The multiple Israeli attempts to spoil the US-Iranian rapprochement are exasperating the new US administration.

      For President Bashar al-Assad, McKenzie’s version is also convenient. Of course, Syria can’t compare its arsenal to the modern Israeli military capability where Israel and the US invest billions of dollars annually to maintain military superiority over Middle Eastern armies without necessarily imposing deterrence. However, a short missile is enough to raise the Israeli awareness that its continued violation of the Syrian sovereignty may lead one day to a front where Iranian missiles will flood its sky and its modern interception system would fail to intercept.

      All parties are happy with the blurred Israeli-US version of the event. It is terrifying for Israel and the US to believe that a nuclear reactor (Dimona) has become an easy target even for an old missile. That is a strategic deterrence that was sent to Israel by an “errant” missile during a battle between wars. It seems clear that when payback time is due, Israel will be vulnerable.

        Thanks for sharing Elijah’s article, dear Canthama. He presents the time-line of the incident quite well, illustrating thus the lies of tel aviv. But he doesn’t go into the notion that the attack may very well have been a cyber attack. He almost gets there when he talks about the israelis not presenting evidence of the alleged missile strike – most unusual for the jewish ‘victim’ nation – but he pulls back and stays well away from even mentioning a cyber attack as a possibility, citing instead the plausibility of the “Iranian version”. I don’t recall Iran making a statement and giving its ‘version’ of events. All in all, the article did fatten up our little body of info, and this is a good thing. Thanks again for sharing.

    • Taxi says:

      Many thanks for posting Nasrallah’s clip. It’s his habit to give weekly sermons on ‘ethics and good manners’ during Ramadan. He doesn’t talk politics during these religious speeches so I usually tend to skip translating them for Plato’s (religion is not my niche). However, I will occasionally listen to them, as indeed I listened to a couple of them last Ramadan.

      And to answer your question: there are actually quite a few people like Nasrallah here in the south, but they just happen to be normal folk and not revered leaders. They share the exact principles as Nasrallah, which is why I continue to enjoy living in the south of Lebanon where there are notably many honorable and good people. Just contrast the value system of the Nasrallahs of the world against the values of Los Angeles where I used to live, and you’ll see what I mean.

      Hope you and y’all are having a super-duper weekend.

    Good survey by Israel Shamir of Russia's security situation. It includes the following paragraph about the recent explosion in Israel. 

    ______

     

    And just in case Israel won’t take this hint into consideration, there was another hint. A Russian C-200 missile launched by Syrians landed ‘by chance’ near an Israeli nuke factory, the Dimona nuclear centre. Israelis tried to minimise the public impact by concocting an improbable story of an old Syrian ground-to-air missile, launched against an Israeli jet that overflew by some 300 km, falling somewhere in the Negev desert. Syrians and Iranians didn’t object to this explanation and claimed that they just repelled an Israeli air attack. But Israeli social networks revealed that the Israeli public is worried, and rightly so, for the US-made Patriot missile defence system failed to stop the incoming missile. The Russian news agency reported that Russian electronic devices based in Syria had jammed the Israeli missile defence system in 12 districts, thus allowing the missile to reach Dimona. “This was a Russian response to Israeli breaches of our understandings on Syria”, the agency added.

      Sarz, thank you for the link to the Russian new agency article. I just translated it because I could hardly believe such good news. (and now combined with what Daniel Rich reported below re: Russian Navy to escort Iranian vessels carrying oil or wheat to Syria!!!)

      Note that I refuse to use Google Translate and I would this group have nothing to do with Google.

      So how to translate? Well, use the Russian equivalent of Google of course! lol.

      https://translate.yandex.com/

      Here’s the translation:

      Moscow has responded harshly to another violation of the agreements on Syria by Tel Aviv. The Russian Armed Forces have activated their electronic warfare assets in the Arab Republic, which are located in the area of Damascus and Tartus. As a result, the Israeli air defense systems in the amount of 12 units were completely suppressed. None of them was able to intercept the S-200 SAM missiles fired from the SAR.

      In turn, Israel acknowledged the failure of its mission, confirming the failures in intercepting missiles. In addition, the IDF admits that if these were Iran’s cruise missiles, the consequences of the launch would be much more tragic, given. That one of the missiles landed in close proximity to Israel’s nuclear center.

      Israeli Defense Minister Beni Gantz admitted that the IDF failed to intercept a missile that was launched from the SAR in the direction of Dimona.

      – The IDF acted in Syria against the means necessary to create a potential attack on Israel. The missile was fired by the S-200 air defense system and crossed the country, reaching the south. There were attempts to intercept her, but they were unsuccessful. We are still investigating the incident. In most cases, we see different results, this story is a little more complicated, “the head of the defense ministry in Tel Aviv was quoted as saying by Debka magazine.

      As noted by the publication “Avia.analyzing the map of the deployment of the Iron Dome air defense system, the projectile flew through 12 regions with air defense systems, but was not intercepted. Apparently, the Israeli air defense was interfered with, which may indicate the means of electronic warfare, which in this region is only at the disposal of the Russian army.

  187. Harry Law says:

     

    There was a very informative debate between Scott Ritter and Mehrdad Torabi concerning Irans formidable and entirely home produced defence capabilities. Under the heading  ‘General K Mckenzie; Iran possesses one of the most capable militaries in the Middle East’

     

     Question… US and other Western governments they armed and they assisted Saddam Hussein with sophisticated weapons while actively preventing Iran from getting access to the most rudimentary defensive necessities, if there's a historical lesson here it said Iran must establish a formidable level of defensive military capabilities. Do you agree?

     

    There's no doubt about that let me let me make this point very clear. If Iran did not have the ballistic missile capability it possesses today, its nuclear facilities would have already been bombed. It's just that simple.

    Iran's ballistic missile capability provides a deterrence to this kind of military adventurism, whether it be by the United States by Saudi Arabia by Israel or a combination of the three.

    The knowledge that any military action against Iran will be met with a retaliation strike by precision guided missiles capable of striking any point within the region that an attack can be launched from, is enough to give pause to the political leaders who would be making the decision to strike Iran.

    So without these missiles Iran would have already been attacked, these missiles are the only thing that keeps Iran from being bombed and Iran would be literally foolish to give them up.

  188. Harry Law says:

    Professor Theodore A Postol Physicist Professor emeritus, science, Technology and National Security policy, ballistic missile defence etc at MIT said iron dome maybe 5% effective.

    During the November 2012 conflict, a detailed review of a large number of photographs of Iron Dome interceptor contrails revealed that the rocket-defense system's success rate was very low—as low as 5 percent or, perhaps, even less The collection of data for Iron Dome's performance in July 2014 is still in progress. The data we have collected so far, however, indicates the performance of Iron Dome has not markedly improved. https://thebulletin.org/2014/07/the-evidence-that-shows-iron-dome-is-not-working/

    Now that Iran can sell as much oil as it wants to China with that huge deal, that has created a large breathing space in which to add to its already formidable missile arsenal and also to the other members of the ‘arc’.

     

    • Canthama says:

      Harry, the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine must be in deep trouble to explain domestically this major failure…ops…5% effectiveness….their lies were so stupid that their own people are now trembling to the fact they were lied all this time…iron dome is nothing less than another corrupt military project in the occupied Palestine land.

      Their end is near.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for your links, dear Harry. A shocking 5%?! Wow this makes me so fucking happy! I mean we all knew how fake the Iron Dome was, despite endless jewish propaganda to the contrary. Now we have actual independent and scientific research, backed by actual performance. May every single lie out of the jew mouth be exposed sooner than later. This will indeed save lives – and ironically, this will also save plenty of jewish lives.

      And speaking of saving jewish lives, I can tell you that Hezbollah is currently building small hospitals and living quarters in northern Galilee (Lebanese territory), all for jews specifically: for when the liberation of Galilee occurs and afflicted jews become refugees in the warzone.

      Yes, we can tell the character of a community by how they treat their prisoners, especially prisoners of war. Hezbollah promotes kindness and forgiveness even towards their arch enemy. They are a better person than I am. I would be digging graves for jews instead of building them hospital and habitat. And this inclination in me is toward the jews and only the jews, because I know for a fact that they reject redemption, and they also reject changing their criminal ways towards humanity. When a criminal is irredeemable and insists on repeating their serial crime, well, what to do except give them the chop? Our courts do this without batting an eyelid.

      • Golden Rule Please says:

        Jews are the worst and "most successful" cult the world has ever seen. Will Jews ever clearly see their psychopathy? Will they ever renounce it? Will they ever give up their usurious, conniving, backstabbing ways? I don't see how. It is right for Hezbollah to be so noble, but I am afraid it is also wrong when it comes to this tribe. I agree with digging graves for the fuckers, not building hospitals.

  189. sarz says:

    Taxi, re our discussion of Alastair Crooke, he has a new essay out at Strategic Culture, titled A Tightening Circle of Replacement Politics. It's quite astute. All that's lacking is the will to pull everything together, to make sense of what's really driving the woke movement, by naming the Jew. I mean the sort of thing that Kevin MacDonald unfailingly does, albeit in a ploddingly academic sort of way. So there is a line that Crooke cannot cross, even though coherence and simple honesty demand it.

    There is someone else I've been meaning to name here, the putative Israeli Christian convert, Israel Shamir. He's also very good except for the crucial one percent poison. There is no centrally-led Jewish conspiracy, he argues, there is only the action of the Jewish swarm enraged by antisemitism. That has a purposive appearance, but no central leadership. He has also argued that it is insulting to Arabs to deny them their great success, 9/11. I suspect he too is intelligence, but unlike Crooke, undercover.

    Since there is a problem here with links I'll leave it to friends to find Crooke's essay on their own.

    I should mention our poet, Linh Dinh, who puts everything on the line for truth, goodness and beauty. He's recovering from Covid and going through a dark phase. I'm afraid he might do himself in. (That would be pretty fucking inconsiderate, Linh, so hang in there. We're counting on you.)

      @ SARZ,

      A Tightening Circle of Replacement Politics – Link to Strategic Culture

      Excerpt: "America’s foreign policy has become something of a global Rubik’s cube – At one moment, the cube is all red; the team seemingly ready to de-escalate tensions with Russia or China; yet the very next moment, the cube rotates to a different facet, with Washington swinging out with slashing sanctions, ruderies and military shows of force. What is so puzzling is that the cube is so aggressively blue one day, yet only the day before, or the day after, it has been at a mollifying red."

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz. Yeah, Crooke is not in the habit of ‘naming the jew’. One can somewhat forgive his reluctance (cowardice?) because he compensates for it by his generous clarity of information. All Western analysts of his caliber don’t name the jew. They know the consequences of naming the jew only too well. Not naming the jew then becomes a self-preservation thing, as opposed to ‘lying by omission’. I imagine these guys can only let rip once tel aviv has been destroyed and the global jew muscle loses density.

      And btw, occasionally, a comment with more than two links can randomly end up in Plato’s ‘pending’ box, waiting for me to rescue it. You’ve just been unlucky in this regard – as you can see for yourself, other commentators appear to be able to post links, no problem.

      And as far as I’m concerned, Israel Shamir is a very sophisticated ‘controlled opposition’ agent. I hate the fucker. I don’t have time to go into details for why I’ve consigned him to the controlled opposition bin – and actually, nor do I want to waste a second of my precious time on earth on him.

        "And as far as I’m concerned, Israel Shamir is a very sophisticated ‘controlled opposition’ agent."

        A man who can't pen anything without the words antisemitism [All Arabs, Muslims and especially Palestinians fully excluded!!!!!!!] or holocasut woven into its fabric, looks down on all the goyim he's surrounded by.

        I'm with you on this one, taxi.

    Russia steps up to the plate:

    "A few days ago, Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov went to Teheran and declared that Russia-Iran relations are at an ‘unprecedented’ level. The first fruit of this declaration has been announced. Russian Navy ships will escort Iranian tankers delivering Iranian oil and wheat to Syria. This will prevent Israel or the US from attacking the tankers. Israelis gleefully blabbed that they had sabotaged dozens of Iranian tankers causing immense misery to Syrians."

    Taxi, I got a hint from your website that further commenting by me is not welcome. I can live with that, wherever it’s coming from. However, I would like your indulgence to complete a thought that was interrupted by your site’s inability to accept texts with links, distracting me from the main part of what I wanted to say. I wanted to support your conjecture that the explosion in Israel was not caused by a ground to air missile that somehow went far beyond its possible range. 

    The inference that the explosion was the result of an Irani cyber-attack is far sweeter to friends of Palestine than of a Syrian missile that had its path cleared by Russian electronic jamming. The first leads to Jews running away in droves, the second to the expectation that Putin would never go entirely against Jews, no matter what they do, so why run away. 

    Shamir has put in this ‘afterthought’ to his article because his home audience requires calming. A little probing shows he’s lying. He says: “The Russian news agency reported that Russian electronic devices based in Syria had jammed the Israeli missile defence system in 12 districts, thus allowing the missile to reach Dimona. ‘This was a Russian response to Israeli breaches of our understandings on Syria’, the agency added.”

    First, this is not the report of anything like THE Russian news agency. The ABOUT US section on its website spells out that this is one of a number of autonomous news agencies with support from some government agency but independent of government editorial control. What could be easier than Russian native and presumed Israeli operative Shamir getting the story covered somehow by something he could call THE Russian news agency?

    Second, the quote from “the agency” is nowhere to be found in the article.

    There’s more. At the end of the account of the S-200 strike we learn that this is the take of Debka (Israel’s spy internet hangout). Some editor was scrupulous enough to add further, at the end: “As noted by the publication ‘Avia.pro’, analyzing the map of the deployment of the air defense system ‘Iron Dome’, the projectile flew through 12 regions with air defense systems, but was not intercepted. Apparently, the Israeli air defense was jammed, which may indicate electronic warfare equipment, which in this region is only at the disposal of the Russian army.” If there was a missile at all, here’s a guess about how it might have happened. 

    So, Taxi, the fact that one of Israel’s heavy duty intelligence assets has taken the trouble to construct this lie is confirmation of your very welcome thesis.

      My dear Sarz, I’m very sorry that I may have given you the impression that you’re not welcome here at Plato’s. On the contrary, I love your visits – you always bring very valuable insights and commentary to us all and I have nothing but respect for your informed commentary, and especially your sanguine curiosity. I think you ask really good questions, and I’m always happy to respond to you, even if the subject matter/person you bring to the table just happens to be loathsome to me. My response to a subject matter/person that you call up is no reflection on you whatsoever. I totally appreciate you. This is my true and sincere feeling. Please, I ask you to never doubt my welcoming you here at Plato’s – if I felt otherwise, you would hear about it directly from me through a private email, and never through ‘hints’. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all good between us, one hundred million percent.

      And thank you for researching and sharing your findings on that pernicious little rat, Israel Shamir. Fuck him and his Swiss cheese spin. I advise you just ignore him – life is too short.

      That aside, I’d like to stay on the topic of the ‘errant’ Syrian missile. Having absorbed a couple more new tidbits of information in the past couple of days, let me now round up my understanding of the story for you.

      First, Iran, through cyber warfare causes an explosion inside an israeli missile factory just outside of Jerusalem. This sends the israeli military into an initial sudden tailspin of confusion and panic. They don’t know what the fuck is going on – who struck them or where from. They knee-jerk into an immediate air force strike on Syria, Syria here being the easiest target on the israeli list. Or, so the jews thought. Indeed, they were shocked and confused again when their impulsive strike on Damascus is unexpectedly blocked by the Russian air force, who, two weeks ago had apparently given israel one last quiet warming about attacking Syria. If you recall, I made sure to point out upthread that the Russian interference in the israeli strike was to “deter” and not “destroy”, hence, the Russians had scrambled israeli radars, while the Syrian air force simultaneously launched into defending the skies over Damascus. Not over the Dimona. For both Russia and Syria, this was a defensive response and not an offensive one, thus the Syrians restricted themselves to operating only inside Syrian territory, and using limited-range weapons that run just short of reaching the Dimona. Syria has said nothing about landing a missile in the Dimona, errant or not. And believe me, it would bang loud drums and blow whistles if it had actually done this: boosting thus the morale of its overworked army, and giving immense joy to its tired people and supporters. The israelis, unusually did not present us with any evidence of the crashed, errant Syrian missile. This indicates that the israeli version is opaque, and here I think it’s so because the panic from the first explosion at the missile factory caused such a fog in the israeli military brain that even their PR strategists dropped the ball. Everybody dropped the ball! This is why we got the blackout of information for 48 hours after the Jerusalem explosion, followed by several ‘official’ versions of a ‘Dimona’ story from the israeli military – with literally no actual evidence of anything. Both israeli defense AND propaganda were slaughtered in this incident, is what I say.

      Okay, let’s take it further, let’s be ‘adventurous’ in our thinking here. Let’s assume and say that okay we believe the jews and yes an errant Syrian missile fell near the Dimona. Well, this would surely mean that israel suffered TWO massive breaches of its security inside of some fifteen minutes. First, the Iranian cyber-attack on the jewish missile factory, followed by a Syrian infiltration deep into the Dimona only minutes later. So, with the ‘errant missile’ narrative thrown into the mix, we get TWO serious infiltrations here. I mean this is just a really badly thought out story. In order to cover up the Iranian cyber attack, the israelis in their panic concocted a story that ends up making them look doubly weak and doubly stupid. They clearly don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

      The Iranian cyber attack came at the heals of the attack on Natanz, and last Sunday night, the Iranians released a mysterious and ominous message that stated that ‘Iran seeks justice and its arm can reach far, even to the very home of the enemy’ (or words to this effect).

      Simplified, as I understand it, the Iranians hacked, the Russians scrambled, the Syrians defended, and the israelis shat in their underpants.

      That’s it in a nutshell.

      There was no Dimona thang.

      As much as I absolutely LOVE the idea of israel assaulted by two attacks within minutes, I just can’t yet find a string of truth or plausibility in the Dimona narrative. But the Iranian cyber attack, a big fat fucking YES! They’ve done it before, successfully, though not on this big-boom scale. And they will do it again.

      What we see happening now is the Iranians are shaking the jew tree. Leaves are falling, green and dry alike.

      Soon enough the tree will be bare. Wither and die.

         10 years ago, on 05 December, 2011, Iran landed an US, RQ-170 [UAV] on its terrain. This was pulled off by Iran's cyberwarfare unit. 10 years further down the lane and I'm convinced Iran has many more aces up its sleeves.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks for your comments and links, dear Antonio.

      I don’t have time to translate and read them right now, but suffice it that I have a pretty good idea on the content, simply for your inclusion of the word ‘woke’ (“wook”) in your article description.

      I see it like this, Antonio: the woke movement is a nihilistic movement that is fast approaching collapse. Right now, we are undoubtedly experiencing a notable decline of its insidious spread. One indicator of this is the Oscars 2021 ratings from woke Hollywood this week shows a 52% decline in viewership. 52%! Wow!!! This is a catastrophe for the woke movement that heavily depends on Hollywood for dissemination of its evil message of identitarian hate. On a domestic level, there is evidently a huge push-back against wokism by your average American citizen. And when viewed through a foreign policy lens, this does not bode well for Pax Americana’s soft power overseas either. With Hollywood being the most important soft power weapon that Empire wields, Hollywood’s evident decline palpably deflates the US’s influence overseas. The most successful films in the world right now, in terms of ‘the bottom line’, are Chinese movies. How ironic is that? That even in filmmaking, traditionally and historically the domain of Hollywood, China has already taken over from the USA, with the Chinese film industry now dominating the global film market.

      For screenwriters and authors who write ‘woke’ shit: a pox on their fucking houses! Their intent was to corrode the ancient art of storytelling, all for hollow political advantage. And this will backfire on them, not on the art of storytelling itself. Indeed, it already has, considering this week’s 52% drop in the Oscars’ ratings. These scribblers, instead of focusing on the spirit of the story itself for successful storytelling, their obsession with narcissistic identitarianism has alienated a considerable chunk of their audiences because their woke stories simply suck eggs. Here we see the ‘market place’ intruding and bitchslapping down their identitarian Hollywood projects. But, I foresee the woke movement facing even a bigger crisis in the near future when Kamala is president-select and the streets erupt in violence and mayhem: an event that could plausibly lead to outbreak of civil war in the US. Can the snowflake identitarians win a street fight against an angry and motivated traditionalist majority? I doubt it! In fact, I would love to see all them entitled tyrants with bloody noses and black eyes. They so fucking deserve it for ruining so many people’s lives with their cancel culture, and for attempting to rob us all of our freedom of speech with their bully tactics. The fucking temerity of them all! What young and older woke people need to learn (and re-learn) is the sacredness of free-speech in and of itself. There is NOTHING more important in life than free speech, which is the expression of free thought. Free speech IS fundamental to humanity’s progress itself, as well as to the individual’s personal progress, regardless of their political inclinations. Learn to tolerate free speech or else risk a punch on the mouth by free-speakers. This is the next rebound-from-wokism societal wave I see approaching. Yes, I prefer to have racists with my free speech than no racists and no free speech.

      Future historians will conclude that the Identitarian movement, instead of gathering people together when the nation needed it most, were actively working on actually destroying the weathered remnants of societal America with their hostile divisiveness and shocking lack of critical thinking.

      Fact is that wokism has already peaked and is now trending downwards, with no rescue remedy on the horizon.

      No point therefore in even paying it further attention as it dies the ugly death it very much deserves – be it in the US, in the UK, in Portugal and in other European Union nations.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz. Zarif’s video was first leaked to a Persian-language zine operating out of London, who sat on it for 24 hours then sold it to the saudi rag, Al-Arabiya, who published in English so that the rest of the anti-Iran Western media cabal can write endless articles on how internally ‘weak’ Iran is blah blah – wasting our time throughout. Al-Arabiya’s involvement, plus the fact that John Bolton also immediately published a WaPo article about the leak should tell you everything. And the video in question appears to be edited, clearly to take Zarif’s words somewhat out of context. There’s an Iranian election cooking up right now and evidently some dirty foreign hands want to stir the pot.

      Stupid leak. Well, it’s not even a leak – it’s a propaganda video that aims to stain the Iranian Reformist party during an election season.

      Worth mentioning too that the Ayatollah got annoyed because the leak was internal, and the modest Zarif got embarrassed by this and made a public apology.

      That’s about it. The usual scam of media itself creating news instead of the news creating media.

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz. For me, it’s a waste of time to read anything on this ‘leak’ because NO ONE in ANY media, be it Western or Eastern, has heard/seen the video in full in order to present us with a truly informed analysis. Western media is using the little known about it to bludgeon Tehran with. What Western medias, including so-called ‘independents’ like Magnier, STILL don’t get about Iran is the following:

      Regardless of who is leading an Iranian government, their foreign policy remains identical: anti USA and anti israel. This is a fixed Iranian policy stance that Ayatollah Khomeini himself established as a blueprint back in 1979. Not a single Iranian political, social or religious leader has veered even a nano inch from this position – ever! This means that Tehran’s foreign enemies have no chance in hell in toppling the very structure of the ‘Iranian Islamic regime’ itself through election interference, propaganda and conspiracies. Be they fundamentalist or centrist, all types of Iranian governments have come and gone for the past four decades, yet Ayatollah Khomeini’s paramount and fixed foreign policy remains the same and ever intact. With this firmly in mind, journalists writing endlessly about the affects of the ‘leak’ on the upcoming Iranian election, or other such nonsense, are in fact creating the story themselves – and really, wasting our time with their inconsequential chatter and noise.

      Which brings me to an even more salient point that pretty much all Western journalists miss about Iran. This point is the following: Iran is obsessed with lifting sanctions against it. It wakes up in the morning with the topic of how to lift sanctions, and it goes to sleep thinking about it too. Lifting sanctions is directly connected to Iran’s homeland security, and to nation and individual prosperity. It has been fighting this sanctions fight for over 40 years, and its election pattern is directly connected to this obsession. What I’m trying to say here is that if it served the lifting of the sanctions to vote in a fundamentalist government, then the next government will be fundamentalist, and likewise with the centrists/reformists. For example, when Iran was calling for international negotiations over its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, Bush Jnr said ‘no, never’ and so Tehran gave us Ahmadinejad. Then when the JCPOA looked like it was about to happen under Obama, Tehran gave us the centrist Rouhani. Same as with other Iranian presidents before them. Are you seeing the pattern here with me? Sanctions affect the streets of Tehran more than they do the political classes, thus Iran’s foreign policy is amalgamated with its domestic one: there is no separation between them. The voting Iranian street will vote according to whom they think is better suited to lift sanctions under the conditions of the zeitgeist of the time. The Iranian elections are influenced by the ‘tone’ of the West towards lifting sanctions, and not by some snippet of a leak, regardless of its controversy.

      Here, we can be certain that if Biden allows for some measure of good-will sanctions-lifting via the Vienna negotiations, indicating thus an active and earnest willingness to negotiate with Tehran, then Rouhani will be re-elected. And if, between now and Iranian election day, Biden appears to only be paying lip service to sanctions-lifting, then we will get us a fundamentalist government a-la Ahmadinejad.

      This posit will be tested on June 18th, 2021: the day Iranians go to their voting booths.

      Meanwhile, instead of getting entangled with meaningless (and confusing) leaks, pay full attention instead to what is actually going on in Vienna. The messaging coming out of Vienna in the next few weeks will determine who the next president of Iran will be.

    Coincidently the month of May is the same time the US regime has to remove all sanctions from Iran, thus making its return to JCPOA.

      Thanks for a great share, dear Canthama. Kevork does a top job of succinctly going through saudi arabia’s involvement in the Syria war. Although, I take some of the words of the Gulfie/saudi dude in the video with a pinch of salt. And yes, it’s true that in politics: ‘there are no permanent friends, or permanent enemies’ (except with youknowwho heh!). Sophisticated politics is pragmatic. Good that Kevork explains how just as a nation (usually) makes war out of necessity, so too it makes peace out of necessity. I personally have grown very cynical with regards saudi arabia and I will have to see their ‘peace with Iran’ project manifest before any credibility is given their way. I fucking loathe them! On the other hand, the Resistance has always had the approach that saudi arabia, despite it having signed a deal with the (oil) devil and caused much death and suffering, should be brought into the fold at the end of the day. The Resistance always left the door ajar for the saudis. They hate them less than I do. And they’re smart to take up this position. They strategize today for the sake of tomorrow, and they adhere to the principle that it is better to make peace with islamic nations than to war with them forevermore. The Resistance would consider it a HUGE coup against the US and israel should saudi arabia stand shoulder to shoulder with Iran and the Axis of Resistance members.

    What happened yesterday…

    I needed to go to the Philippines embassy in Beirut to sort out my housekeeper's documents etc.  I didn't know exactly where it is so I took with me, as navigator, this retired 60 year old taxi driver from the village who is familiar with its location.  We chatted en route, as per usual.  I asked after his 22 year old son, who is a volunteer fighter in the Hezb army. “Everything is great with him,” he said. “His platoon is relaxed,” he added. “The jews are dying themselves without the Hezb firing a single bullet,” he continued. “Mysterious fires going off in israel so inshallah they end up burning themselves to death, saving us the burden of having to kill them. Self-holocaust,” he chortled. “Yeah the six million,” I added. With a genuinely puzzled expression on his face, he asked: "what do you mean 'six million'?"  His question took me aback: "you know, THE six million.” “I don’t know this six million,” he replied in absolute earnestness. Double amazed, I said: “so you’ve heard of the holocaust but not the six million number?"  He said: "no, I don't know the six million number.” I was truly shocked at this, with my eyes literally popping out of their sockets.  "Sir, I need to shake your hand right now," I said and quickly grabbed his hand and shook it with delight.  "I can't believe I'm talking to a sixty year old who's never heard of the 'six million'!  Man, I can't believe you've escaped trillions of dollars' worth of jewish propaganda – wow!  This is amazing!  You've blown my mind.” Though somewhat unsure of the implications of my words, he smiled, all proud of himself.

    Then I went into explaining the holocaust lie and its 'six million' baggage, which took no more than 90 seconds kiss.

    Question to readers: has anyone else out there ever met an adult who's never heard of the 'six million'?  LOL!  My village street navigator deserves an entry into the Guinness Book of Records.  Maybe we can even erect a statue in his name, titled: 'The Unmolested'.

    @Taxi, from the various stories we read, lots of Jews were killed in Hilter's Germany. Are you saying this is not so? Honestly asking.

    • Taxi says:

      Hiya Hani!

      Sure “lots of jews were killed” during WW2, it’s just that the numbers don’t add up. At the end of the war, the Red Cross presented the world with 271,301 death certificates of jews who died in German concentration camps. Are we supposed to believe the jews who created a literal lucrative industry out of the so-called holocaust, or an unbiased source like the Red Cross? Bearing in mind here that jews are infamous for fiddling with numbers.

      This is but one of the many inconsistencies presented to us by jews.

      As a wordsmith, I also object to the use of the word ‘holocaust’, which means ‘mass death and destruction by fire’. Most jews did not die by fire.

      Six million humans burned to death would leave a giant hill of human debris, ash and bones – where is this mountain as evidence? All we get is tens of thousands of old shoes supposedly worn by victim jews. I never knew that shoes were fire-proof.

      I could go on with more examples, but suffice it to say that the jewish version does not add up. And here, I will say that ashkenazi power jews conspired to start both WW1 and WW2 for various political reasons, the most important one for them being to specifically gain entry into Historic Palestine.

      And let us remember here that by far more Gentiles died in WW2 than jews did. Altogether, some 75 million people supposedly died in WW2.

      Honestly, I personally find the whole topic of the holocaust boring. I blame it on excessive Hollywood-holocaust propaganda, and on opaque evidence presented to us by jewish organizations that have gained trillions of Gentile dollars milking supposed jewish victimhood.

    And here we are now… literally "months not years" away from certain victory, as the great late Anis Naquacche stated four months ago.

    Happy Quds Day, dear all resistors the world over.

      This is so absolutely true….I used to say the Apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine has a roof made of glass….it pretends to be strong….pretends..true preemptive strikes, US/Eu backing, supposedly "wonder" weapons and of course the 'Samson alternative'…. no doubt the apartheid regime has firepower…but, since early 70s it never counted with an attack toward the occupied territories, so they built cities, plants and all the goodies os major towns as if a normal place to live….and that was lowering its guard, now they are as vulnerable as the idiots in UAE that think they are invisible in their tiny place in the desert….just across the narrow straight there are hundreds of thousands of ballistic missiles…that few hundreds can. send then to the stone age….

      The apartheid regime in occupied Palestine really thought Iran was far and that they would be able to fend off as they try to push the narrative that they did with Saddam before…then they destroyed Iraq, then lost in Lebanon in 2006, then they destroyed Libya, then they failed to destroy Syria entirely, then they failed in Yemen,  then they tried to destroy JCPOA, then they sanctioned Iran to the bone…and they never ever managed to stop making Hezbollah, Houthis and Syria stronger, transformed into a formidable Resistance, armed with modern weapons, modern strategies to fight inside towns, on open field…. with drones, with ballistic missiles, all of them being produced in many places in the ME, some of them even in Gaza…these freaks in Occupied Palestine are toast, they have absolutely no chance, and my guess is that they will soon start to feel it deep down under their skin.

      I thought I’d quickly check in with Quds Day events showing live on TV before I took an afternoon hike with my dogs. Here’s what I picked up:

      – 70.000+ Palestinians turned up at Al-Aqsa mosque for the last Friday prayers in Ramadan. A great show of resistance and commitment to resistance in the face of a weakening israel.

      – And this story here is but a taste of what’s to come inside of jewish-occupied Palestine: Two Palestinians killed by Israeli troops after alleged attack

      It will slowly but surely dawn on the brainwashed jewish citizen of israel that EVERYONE is now armed. EVERYONE! Enemies within are armed. Enemies without are armed. And the idiot jews are sandwiched in the fucking middle!

      I call that a Justice Sandwich. With fries on the side.

      • Taxi says:

        Now that Friday prayers have finished, people in all regional Resistance nations are preparing for pro-Palestine civilian marches, military Resistance parades, speeches and festive street events.

        Qud Day celebrates the living resistance to that fucked up, evil talmudic experiment. And every year, it gets larger and, well, more showy.

      • Taxi says:

        A ‘shadowed’ Gaza leader released a warning video to israel late last night, declaring that if israel doesn’t stop with their wanton eviction of Palestinians from Jerusalem and the West bank, the Gaza resistance groups will start attacking israel with missiles and rockets. Immediately, the stupid David’s Sling and the even more stupid Iron Dome were fired up and ready to go.

        This demonstrates that whatever injustice now happens in the West Bank and Jerusalem will be answered to from Gaza, thus uniting the disparate Palestinian locations in resistance and defense. This is a new and offensive policy by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. Obviously, Gaza doesn’t promise what it can’t deliver. And obviously, the jews these days take Gaza’s word more seriously than ever before.

    And here comes the storm….very dark clouds ahead for humanity…after a planed pandemic, pathetic global response to it that pushed many countries to over spend, close down jobs and increase food insecurity….comes the Mother of all Storms…3-4 years of super high grain prices…not a single country will be spared, expect 2022 to be a fertile ground for revolutions pushed by famine and reduced job opportunities….

    “If you want to predict where political instability, revolution, coups d’état or interstate warfare will occur, the best factor to keep an eye on is not GDP, the human development index, or energy prices.
    If I were to pick a single indicator — economic, political, social — that I think will tell us more than any other, it would be the price of grain”.

    I have many friends in the Ag business down here in Brazil, they've never seen anything like it…they say they can not see the end of it anytime in the near future, it will last years, the complex higher population, restrained consumption about to explode, low grain inventories, extreme & prolongue rain-draught seasons etc…creates a perfect storm to hit the food markets worldwide, it will affect everybody and everywhere….the 7 min video attached does reflect well the situation and gives some extra details to it.

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-06/one-grain-is-keeping-the-world-s-food-crisis-from-getting-worse?sref=kZiy8cRM&utm_source=url_link

    I see some fundamental diferences now vs the last 2008-2011 higher food price cycle, back then, the US/Canada/Australia largely controlled the global trade of soybeans, corn and wheat, the 3 main grains to feed people and animals, but now…in 2021-2022-2023 high price cycle…Russia leads global wheat exports…double the volume vs 2nd player, Brazil leads in soybeans, and Brazil and Argentina together exports as many corn as the US…and finally China is producing way more wheat and corn…still importing a lot, but it has huge production output now……so the very same countries that planned and executed the food crisis in 2008-2009-2010 are not prepared for the next food crisis now…besides they are antagonising against the major players Russia, Brazil (threat of sanctions due to the Amazon forest) and China…they will be the ones paying dearly this time, I just wish the ME and North Africa are better prepared this time…but with the US stealing Syrian wheat, I see Syria and Iraq in deep troubles if it is not reversed…Yemen is already in trouble with wide spread famine, so the ME must embrace for what it is coming, and it is going to be ugly.

      Thanks for the commentary and link, dear Canthama. Your ‘word to the wise’ is much appreciated.

      The pragmatic solution would be a decrease in people’s choice of meat-eating, considering the devastating effects of raising so very much livestock as food. Excessive carnivorism is creating a global food insecurity, which is dangerous to everyone’s existence. The only sustainable food program is a grain-based one. The healthiest diet to be on is a grain-based one. But just you try telling imbecilic, beefhead gluttons this.

      I don’t make my comment above out of dogma, but out of sensibility and survivalism. The whole of humanity has lasted this long because of grain-based diets that all our ancestors and forefathers lived and thrived off in the four corners of the world. And I don’t mean here that ONLY grains were consumed in the past or should be consumed now. No, I mean that humanity’s staple has always been grain-based, with everything else occasionally thrown on the plate when available seasonally, or through intermittent hunting/fishing. And the thing about grain is that if a harvest is in surplus, it can store safely for years to come, thus removing greatly the fear of mass food insecurity: a destructive fear that can regress humanity back to violent animalism.

      My solution is too simplistic, impossible to achieve, yet worthy of mention: lets drop war and all become farmers. (AFTER israel is destroyed, that is!). Heh!

      p.s. for sixteen years now I’ve been on a grain-based staple, daily seasonal vegetables/fruit, pulses (2-3 times per week), fish (1-2 times per week), chicken (once or twice per month), meat (once every couple of months or so), and seaweed (once per week). I eat in moderation, always have done. Consistently, I have a combined feeling of good energy and lightness of body pretty much every day, and I haven’t even had a single cold in 16 years. Not a single day of sickness in 16 years now. So long as my staple is grain-based, then I’m free to eat absolutely anything else I choose, without suffering the toxic effects of acidic foods such as meat etc. Freedom from illness is a much undervalued and under-explored freedom. All illnesses come from the stomach. Put good things in there and you simply don’t get sick. I’m a living proof of this.

      p.p.s. Grain-based foods are the natural order for our current evolutionary stage. We know this because most of the teeth in our mouths are for grinding – we have four in the front for biting soft veg and fruit, four on the side for ripping at meats, and the rest are all for grinding grain. I hope you can make this proportion connection: your meal plate should therefore have at least 50% grain, no more than 25% protein, and 25% that would be a mix of fruit, nuts and the occasional seaweed. And btw grains are delicious and there are numerous ways to cook them, and numerous flavors to savor. Too bad fucking fascist vegans have given the grain-based diet a bad name.

      p.p.p.s. choose what to eat for balance, not for sentimental reasons. Only kids say ‘I want ice cream’ when they have a belly ache. Make conscious and sensible food choices at every meal and you will never need to see a doctor. Your quality of life will skyrocket even if you’re poor, if you eat sensibly on a regular basis, that is. Eat right and fuck your health insurance – stupid waste of money. What’s the point of working and earning, only to spend it on bad food that makes you sick and forces you further to pay even more to a doctor and to Big Pharma to clean up the mess that you yourself got yourself into? Get out of the costly and miserable trap that you’ve weaved with your very own hand-and-mouth. C’mon, be nice to your belly. Fill it with good stuff. Treat it like your favorite pet :-).

        Taxi – I don't know that I've yet disagreed with you, but here I do! There is a man named Allan Savory who started the Savory Institute: savoryinstitute.org which restores grasslands around the world and works to bring back grazing animals too (a critical element of grasslands).

        @ taxi,

        Nobody believes that a 6'3" guy, weighing in on close to 200lbs., is a vegetarian.

        Order a salad and a steak in a restaurant, the meat always ends up in front of me. 

        My wife does eat meat and fish. Our relationship is based upon mutual respect for each other, not personal likings.

        Do you have any idea what is shot into the offspring of animals?

        Did you ever see calves in their boxes that don't allow them to turn around, so they stay in the dark 24/7 to gain weight and can be slaughtered ASAP…?

        I've seen all this up-close and personal. My family runs all sorts of businesses, including the raising of, and transportation of, animals to slaughter houses.

        Not a pretty sight…

        @ taxi,

        "The healthiest diet to be on is a grain-based one. "

        When they dug through the goo collated between the teeth of our ancestors, the hunter-gatherers, they found [depending on where in Europe they did the digging] a variety of food remnants in it. In Europe's hinterland a lot of meat and towards the Met a more fish based diet.

        I'm convinced their diet was balanced and connected to the changing seasons. I think it was a very healthy diet as well, as all the gluttonous inducing goodies we're surrounded by today, simply didn't exist.

        It is estimated that those people, back in the day, spent up to 85% of their time gathering eatable stuff.

        Of course, we will never know the exact facts, but we can deduce quite a bit, based upon the evidence left behind.

        However, 'we' should err on the side of caution when it comes to telling the world at large what happened back then, imo.

      • Taxi says:

        The moral issue of animal slaughter-for-food aside, actually, there are plenty of important vitamins in red meat.  The problem with meat-eating though is that the human large intestine is almost 5 feet long (1.5 meters), and the journey of a piece of meat from mouth to anus is long and slow and during this time, much toxic gases are released into the large intestine by this slow-traveling meat, intensifying from internal high temperatures and seeping thereafter into other internal nooks and crannies beyond the large intestine.  The damage from these toxic gases outweighs the goodness of the vitamins in meat. 

        Here, we compare and observe that an average dog's large intestine is 0.6 feet (2 meters), therefore a meat-eating dog will suffer by far less toxicity from meat-eating than a human would.  Therefore we can conclude that meat-eating is more suitable for a dog's digestive system than it is for a human’s.

        More suitable = more natural. 

        This is my un-dog-matic two cents no.

      • Daniel Rich says:

        @ taxi,

        It's safe to say, everything around us is [inter] connected. Hurl anything at it and the balance will be disturbed. This happened several times without us even being here, so it's also safe to say this planet doesn't need us [we do need this planet though, for now].

        What would this planet be without water and whale poop…?

        What will happen to the ocean when this rock stops spinning…?

        4+ billion years to go before the sun will eat us… Where do 'we' go from here…?

        My motto is as simple as I am: do what 'you' think is best for 'you.'

      • Taxi says:

        Heh heh. Bon apetite, dear Saladin – enjoy your guilty pleasures.

        Personally, I consider diet to be a personal choice equal to that of sex. It’s simply rude to impose on people what to eat, or what sex position to practice.

        There are many militant vegans now, and I’m glad to hear you’re not one of them.

    SUMMARY OF NASRALLAH'S SPEECH/QUDS DAY, 2021

    The permanent man of the hour, Mr. Hassan Nasrallah, opened his speech by saying that he has a throat infection that had come upon him this past Wednesday, and that he was not suffering from Covid, as some concerned supporters had inquired after seeing him cough much during his last Wednesday's speech.  And this was true.  He spoke for a good 55 minutes without losing breath, and only occasionally swallowing between words as if a dry throat was bothering him a little – and I believe he only coughed 4-5 times: small, single, polite coughs.

    So, after clarifying his health issue, he went into appraising and praising the Palestine cause, calling it:

    A moral, ethical, religious and humanitarian cause for justice that all decent people of the world support and should continue to support.

    He especially praised the Palestinians living under occupation for their endurance and patience; praised them for continuing with their resistance despite their unbearable sacrifices and mounting hardships; and also for having succeeded in improving and solidifying their civil and military resistance against the criminal, "rapist" jewish state.  *(Millions of Arab resistors have been calling israel a "rapist" since 1948, even Arab msm in print and newscasters on TV regularly use the word 'rapist' to describe israel.  This is the norm in the Arab world).

    Nasrallah further added that Iran's support for the Palestinian cause has been a major factor in strengthening the Palestinians, despite the heavy price that Iran has been paying for its support of a free Palestine.  He said that:

    Nobody now disputes that Iran is the strongest nation within the Axis of Resistance.  For the past 40 years, the US and israel have attempted to topple the Iranian Islamic system and return Iran to the American fold and to the military barracks of America and israel.  These attempts have failed, especially those of Netanyahu's.  Trump used to threaten Iran with war, and the Ayatollah used to say: “There is no war, no ghost of war,” – and no war happened. Now we have a new US administration that's focused on resolving the Iran nuclear file.  Now we don't have the direct threat of war, although the threat of war is always there.  Now Iran is in direct pre-negotiations with the US, requesting that sanctions be lifted before it returns to the negotiating table.  And if sanctions are not lifted, then Iran will just continue as it has been: bypassing the sanctions wherever it can and seeking new ways to improve its nation's condition.  Presently, we can say that Iran has passed the danger period and no war against it lies in the foreseeable future.  The war that israel and other Arab nations attempted to ignite between the US and Iran many times during Trump's presidency did not materialize.  They all failed.  This explains why currently, the Arab nations that previously conspired for the US and Iran to go to war and failed are now changing their tune about Iran and opening direct negotiation channels with Tehran.  US and israeli analysts now say that it was a big mistake to pull out of the JCPOA, because this allowed Iran to enrich up to 60% (used to be 20% under JCPOA), and it is precisely high levels of enrichment that worries israel the most.

    Nasrallah ended his Iran segment by saying that Iran never has and never will abandon its friends and allies, despite the saudi-Iranian rapprochement currently in the works.

    On Syria, Nasrallah said that saudi arabia cannot now impose old conditions on Syria such as: give up Iran and Syria will be restored – not when saudi arabia itself is presently attempting to befriend Tehran.  He stated: 

    Syria is already on the road to recovery.  It already controls large swaths of its territory, with only one region left to liberate, which is achievable through military operations.  And the two parts occupied by the US and Turkey respectively have become geopolitical regional issues that cannot be addressed by military operations alone: the situation there is more complex with foreign and regional countries like Iran, Iraq and Lebanon directly entangled and affected.  But altogether, we can say that Syria is moving in the right direction towards the liberation of all its lands.

    Nasrallah continued with remarks on the changes in relationship between nations, post the Trump era.  He stated that these changes work for the benefit of the Resistance and against regional israeli hegemony.  He said:

    Israel's power has always been fundamentally drawn from US's support for it, and now that this support is dimming under Biden, israel's weaknesses have been exposed.  Many alliances that were formed during Trump's rule have now collapsed or gone cold, hence the current re-alignment of alliances in the region right now, as we see happening between saudi arabia and Iran, between Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.  All this decreases the affects of israel's power in the region.

    On israel, he said:

    No doubt israel has destructive firepower at its disposal.  But the reality is that it is now a weak entity.  Its domestic politics is in a deep crisis, with 4 consecutive failed elections, perhaps even a 5th coming – and all this is because Netanyahu refuses to give up his premiership seat, fearing imprisonment when he is no longer prime minister.

    Nasrallah further pontificated how despite israel claiming itself to be a democracy, it now finds its future intractably seized by a single man: Netanyahu, who holds on to power purely for personal and not patriotic reasons.  Nasrallah added how israel's societal cohesion is also fraying, with israeli analysts now warning that israel is now on the path of civil war.  He further explained:

    This does not mean that israel will break out into civil war tomorrow, but that it is on a sure 'path' to civil war, marked by an increase in uncompromising hate-speeches exchanged between all jewish parties in israel.  Evidently, there is a crisis of leadership in israel that is rendering it fractured and weaker. 

    Nasrallah here also made mention of the recent explosions and that ‘errant Syrian missile near the Dimona’, saying that if israel was caught in a real war where thousands of missiles were falling on it from multiple locations, it would find it impossible to defend itself. He added:

    Militarily, in a real war, and because of geography, israel is now the weaker side.  Lately, the israeli military has attempted to assure its citizens that they are protected, but these assurances have been received in a luke-warm way.  Israel's domestic front remains unprepared for war, as shown to us by how chaotically their first-respondent teams dealt with human injuries and fires breaking out in israel lately.  And to top it all up, israelis are now extremely concerned that the armed Gaza branch of the Resistance has now entered the West Bank and Jerusalem, complicating israeli security plans in these territories and endangering the lives of their soldiers and illegal settlers.  How will israel deal with this new and very concerning development?   *(He nodded lightly and smiled at the question).  And, as regards the israeli army and its strength and power, we read much about the position of the israeli military, especially its land forces where israeli media continues to exaggerate its ability and strength, yet, the reverse is in fact true.  Considering that israel performs the most military exercises of all nations in the region, if it were really as strong as it claims, it would not need to organize and perform all these numerous military exercises on a non-stop basis.  We observe that a society's sickness does not appear overnight, but over years, and currently we are witnessing israel's sickness manifesting in all areas of its society, despite the israeli military and many governments having hid the sickness from view for years – and all this is occurring during a time when a new Palestinian generation of committed resistors is rising and very much present, the youth of our resistance elsewhere is also being renewed, our faith in god, and our faith in our cause and our rights are also being renewed.  These are all very important developments that enhance our position.  This is why today, on Quds Day, I ask all good people, good muslims and christians to continue supporting the Palestinian cause for liberation, especially right now that the scales are is in their favor.

    On Lebanon's maritime border with israel, Nasrallah re-iterated and re-confirmed Hezbollah's position which is:

    We want nothing to do with the decision-making on this issue.  Our political arm and representation in government and parliament have been instructed to draw a neutral white page on this issue.  Our responsibility as a resistance group is to protect our homeland, not to decide where our borders are.  We have no say in this – we don't want a say in this.  We have no worries about these future negotiations because we do not believe that anyone in Lebanon, be they a politician or a civilian, be they an ally or an antagonist, we think no one would want to give away any of our resources to friend or to foe alike.  And I assure you here that when it comes to negotiations with israel, we are the stronger party.  Lebanon is not weak.  The Resistance is exceptionally strong and the negotiations when they happen again will be conducted with this fact in mind.  Gone are the days when we submit to anything israel wants from us.

    Throughout the whole speech, Nasrallah's voice and demeanor were calm and collected; he did not once raise voice or get excited or angry – just even tempered and calm speaking throughout, with the occasional crack of his cheeky-boy smile.  And this temperament served well his final point in the speech – I mean it was more of warning than a 'point' – a warning delivered in the calmest of voices:

    We know that this coming Sunday israel will be starting a massive military exercise that will last a few weeks.  It's been a while in preparation and the whole israeli military in all its aspects will be involved.  Considering the current violence taking place in occupied Palestine, and considering all the domestic troubles that israel and Netanyahu are currently in, this imminent israeli military exercise should put the region, and not just the Lebanon, on alert.  I do not wish to worry anyone here, but of course, we all need to know the current atmosphere and be on alert.  We in Lebanon are alert and ready.  As of this Sunday, the day that the israeli exercises begin, we will be taking our own measures, in a calm and measured manner, from inside Lebanon: unseen and unheard.  And it's important here that our enemy knows that we will be ready and vigilant should they make a wrong move towards Lebanon during these big military exercises.  Any wrong step towards Lebanon will be treated as an adventurous gamble.  Any military or security acts (meaning car bombs, explosions etc) by israel that target Lebanon during this military exercise, under the cover of this exercise, will be immediately responded to.  The size of the exercise does not scare us.  We are ready.  We will not forgive the enemy even the smallest of mistakes.

    Here, Nasrallah expressed further praise for the Palestinian cause.  He also praised all the supporters who have stuck to the cause through decades of hell and high water.  He encouraged them to remain active and helpful towards the cause, and he briefly and proudly reminded audiences of all the powers now at the disposal of the Axis of Resistance. 

    Lastly, he closed his speech with a smile and a simple sentence: "Just be patient," he said.

      @ taxi,

      A big hug for you and your consistent voce of reason, when it comes to emanate news about and from the M.E. You succeed where MSM fails me/us.

      Very much appreciated!

    • Saladin says:

      Great to read these excerpts from Nasrallah's speech. Thank you Taxi for translating. I've been watching gold and silver prices lately, which are sensitive to such things as impending wars or military activity. Metals prices have been going up the past few weeks, in tandem with commodities generally. It's not uncommon for military exercises to be used as cover for military aggression so this is an "interesting" several day (weeks) stretch we are headed into.

      Also, there seems to be lots of agitation and strange events taking place globally. The EU is proposing a one-time massive wealth tax, and in Canada the government is arresting priests and pastors who hold services. Absolute police state tactics. Also intense anti-gov rioting in Colombia. Feels as if something is brewing. Perhaps we are at a turning point. Personally, I feel you can't lock down society and stifle individual liberties without a massive revolt erupting. I think many governments will be toppled. The US Capitol in D.C. still has a fence around it. To me, obvious evidence of the recent coup’d'etat, with state perpetrators living in fear of the citizenry. Mainstream media in the US is the propaganda arm of the deep state, keeping people in line by their incessant brainwashing. But cracks are appearing and people are (albeit slowly) waking up. (I recommend PJ Sears, a comic genius with lots of youtube vids). Hez crushing the IDF and liberating occupied Palestine will signal the breaking of the dam globally. Liberating also the mind of humanity, currently zionist occupied territory. The apartheid state as we currently know it will not be around much longer.

  208. Taxi says:

    All morning, I've been watching live coverage of the Al-Aqsa Mosque clashes between Palestinian civilian-resistors against jewish settlers and israel's security apparatus.  Hotdamnshit it's so going down!  Some 180+ Palestinians have been injured and jewish police have blocked all ambulances from reaching the injured.  It's been like this for hours now: Palestinians in groups being violently forced out of Al-Aqsa, only for another one to break a security barrier in another corner and enter the Al-Aqsa, with the jewish police flaying arms and batons in intermittent disarray.  There are tens of thousands of brave Palestinian resistors out on the streets resisting right now, getting gassed and beaten black and blue and bloody: defending their house of prayer literally with bare hands.

    These clashes have been going on for a few days in a row, but today's incidents are by far more fiery, more violent and tempramental.  Israeli authorities attempted to convince Palestinian religious leaders to call off their people out of Al-Aqsa, but all have refused and the optics on TV show the israeli forces unable to contain the determined civilian resistors there.

    Bearing in mind the warning that Gaza delivered to israel a few days ago – drawing a fat, red line on Al-Aqsa – one hopes that all this jewish security confusion, coupled with a collectively charged Palestinian street resistance, would all lead to a third, armed intifada. 

    Mindful too that literally the whole of the israeli military is otherwise occupied with their mega military exercise that began yesterday and will continue for a whole fucking month.  This means that today, their security operations are more complex than usual, compounded by having to also hold back hoards of jewish crazies intent themselves on breaching the Al-Aqsa.  Let's just say that it looks like the jewish security forces are under-staffed and their hands are fuller than usual.

    Will keep you posted if an Intifada breaks out.

    And I don't mind to tell you that the very thought thrills me.

    • Taxi says:

      Now we're hearing that the jewish security apparatus has been forced to withdrawn from inside the Al-Aqsa (they were shooting it up from the inside a couple of hours ago!), and a measure of calm has now returned to the compound of the mosque. But, this will be but a short reprieve. At 4pm today, jewish settlers are scheduled to turn up again, with the intention of entering Al-Aqsa by force to occupy it.

      This is tantamount to a non-christian group attempting to storm and occupy the Vatican.  Yes, the Al-Aqsa is as important to muslims as the Vatican is to catholics.

    • Taxi says:

      Now reports that the Palestinian casualty count has risen to 300+.  Right now, Palestinians are returning to Al-Aqsa compound to form a human shield to block the lunatic jewish settlers who will be returning to the compound in an hour.

    • Taxi says:

      While today's clashes were in full swing earlier today at Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, the jewish nation's fire brigades were also kept busy with over one hundred fires caused by incendiary kites launched from Gaza at all the surrounding illegal jewish settlements.

      I'm enjoying this dress rehearsal.

      Palestinian Red Cross is saying that numerous injuries from today's clashes inside of the mosque are eye injuries.  Jewish police there aiming at the eyes of the Palestinians – at the eyes of even those who were still in mid prayer – and shooting rubber bullets right there.  Evidently, this is today's jewy brief: shoot at the head: aim for the eyes.

      Aiming at the eyes is an evil jewish tactic and an israeli specialty.  In order to keep the Palestinian death count low, so as not to attract too much world attention for their terrorism, they shoot to blind Palestinians instead of killing them – knowing well also that this would burden the family to have to take care of their blind family member.  After all, no one in the West makes a fuss over the 'blinding' of unarmed civilians.  Only when civilians die would this make for a headline – and that's not even guaranteed should the victim be a Palestinian.

    • Taxi says:

      Footage of israeli security forces inside the Al-Aqsa attacking worshipers there during Ramadan has gone viral in the region, and many protests in major regional cities have spontaneously broken out.  Also, yesterday, protests against israeli home-evictions and violence against unarmed Palestinian civilians broke out in Berlin, London, and Paris.

      In the homeland, the State Department has been busy meeting with israeli security honchos visiting DC to discuss the Iran file; while simultaneously urging the israelis to put the fires in Jerusalem out asap.  Bernie Sanders and the leftie 'Squad' of Rachida, OAC etc tweeted support for Palestinians and demanded the State Department immediately address the "racism and violence" of the israeli security apparatus.

       

    • Taxi says:

      Meanwhile, a story of an alleged israeli strike on southern Syria this lunchtime broke out in the israeli press, only to be removed about an hour later.

      The Jerusalem Post reported it and its headline turns up on google-search, but when one clicks on the article, one is taken to a "Error 404 – Page not found. The headline of the JP article was: One injured in alleged Israeli strike in southern Syria – report.

      The whole day today stinks of jewish confusion.  And fear.

    • Taxi says:

      Right, well, more Palestinians have now regathered in the courtyard outside of Al-Aqsa, chanting and clapping, as, what looks like double the amount of jews in uniform and guns have just entered, pushing and shoving groups of gathered Palestinians: attempting to evict them.  And on the sidelines behind a wall of jewish security men, lunatic settlers are gathering, some are excitable and wave arms in anger at the Palestinians.

      *I've some stuff to do right now, but I will return to the live footage in a bit, see how far this intensity will go tonight and share it here with you. 

      **(And what of tomorrow?  Israel solved nothing today, and the Palestinians managed to hold steady; they even managed to evict the jewish invaders out of their mosque, using pure collective will and their bare bodies).

    • Taxi says:

      Okay and I've just heard that the Gaza Qassam Brigade has just given the isreali authorities till 6pm tonight to remove all its security personnel from Al-Aqsa, as well as release all Palestinians arrested today during the Al-Aqsa clashes, or else…

      It is now 4:48pm, Levant time.

      Brava Gaza!  Rattle up those jew fuckers, rattle 'em good and hard

       

    • Taxi says:

      Yap.  Just heard that the israeli military has just put a freeze on its mega military exercise that they began only yesterday.  Postponed by 24 hours, is the message that the israeli military has released.

      Overwhelmed and under-prepared.  This is israel's military today.

    • Taxi says:

      Well, 6pm just passed – it is now 6:05pm and israel has ignored the Gaza warning to vacate Al-Aqsa, so now and already, Gaza is sending rockets into israel – targets are unclear as of yet – a fluid situation here is at hand.

    • Taxi says:

      We're now getting reports that at 6pm precisely, Gaza sent a first rocket that fell on the main Gaza-Jerusalem road.  Also, a Gaza Kornet was sent to a military base at the borders of Gaza.  Other rockets are now falling in the above locations.  Sirens are going off everywhere and israeli jews are dropping everything they're doing and rushing to their allotted underground shelters.  The Knesset is also being evacuated right now.  Sirens in tel aviv are also going off, in Haifa too.

    • Taxi says:

      Local time now: 7:08pm, and some 7 Gaza rockets have by now landed in Jerusalem, and several dozen other rockets have also landed in illegal settlements at the Gaza borders.  The Iron Dome has failed to intercept a single Gaza rocket so far.  The israeli air force has begun striking at Gaza neighborhoods, and as usual, aiming at residential compounds.  So far, Gaza  casualties are at 5 dead, 3 of them are children.

    • Taxi says:

      Nasser Laham,  a tremendous Palestinian analyst who is fluent at Hebrew and who monitors the jewish press is saying that the israeli government had to break up its meeting over a new government-selection halfway due to the Gaza rockets targeting Jerusalem.  He is saying that the jews do not appear to be going for anything at the moment except for 'revenge'.  He predicts that the fireworks will continue for a few days.

      How all this will die down, or expand into a real war is anybody's guess at this moment.  Anything is possible at this stage.  But we can be certain that the jews of israel are no longer in control of their destiny like they used to be.

    • Taxi says:

      Gaza's Qassam Brigade has just announced that it will strike new targets at 9pm, in approx one hour.

      Today's events are shaping up to be an attempt by Gaza to reset the balance of power by creating a new and higher level of deterrence against israel: based on the Hezb model of deterrence.

    • Taxi says:

      Hoooofff it's getting hotter in the holy land tonight!  As promised by the Gaza Resistance,  few minutes ago, at 9pm to be exact, a new bundle of even bigger rockets were fired at tel aviv and ashkelon by the Qassam Brigade.  Sirens fill the night…

      A few more rounds of Ping Pong with the jewish military and the Gazans will be able to establish new and game-changing Rules of Engagement, all in their favor

      • Taxi says:

        Okay – time for bed now. Was an exiting day for Palestine. Yet, sorrow too. Gaza casualties have now risen to 9 dead, four of them children.

        Freedom’s price is blood and blues.

        G’nite from the Intifada’s periphery…

    • Taxi says:

      G'morning y'all.  I had my coffee while watching the sun rising over the holy land (on TV), revealing blue and pink skies slashes by lines and traces of much rocketry overnight.  Over 50 Gaza rockets landed on Ashkelon alone, reports are saying.  And, of course, israel targeted both residential and religious targets in Gaza overnight, but was unable to stop the resistance rocketry falling on jewish heads in response.  I don't have a casualty count yet for either side yet, but will include it when I come across it.

      Sirens wailed all night in Ashkelon and other major israeli cities, plus in all illegal settlements bordering Gaza.

      Twelve straight hours of bombings by both sides, so far.

      *(I will walk my dogs right now and return to absorb and share more news on this story with you).

    Middle East Observer says Hezbollah has raised its war readiness to 100 percent, for the first time since 2006. Israel's large maneuver is bsing treated as a prelude for war. Could the Al Aqsa provocation be deliberate, rather than evidence of confusion? 

    • Taxi says:

      Thanks, Sarz.  Interesting proposition you make about today's events possibly being deliberate.   There was a brief discussion about this posit on Al-Mayadeen earlier, with the finger pointing at Netanyahu as being the deliberate instigator.  Maybe, or maybe not would be my answer.   But does it really matter so long as the terrorist, klepto jews get what they deserve at the end of the day: eviction from lands that don't belong to them, or death.   I'm fine with either outcome.

      And in case you missed my comment upthread: the mega military exercises were put on ice for today – postponed for 24 hours.

      Yeah the Hezb is on 100% war readiness.  This is because the enemy is a backstabber and the Hezb knows this only too well.  Better safe than sorry.

    Shooting fish in a barrel doesn't turn wo/men into a battle hardened army. 

    As expected, the west does its usual cricket show and checks its gender…

    As Palestine doesn't have a standing army, or, like Hezbollah, the means to keep the skies above its territory rat free, the danger of retracing where rockets are/were fired from is rather easy and endangers the resistant fighters. RPGs have a similar problem.

    Thank you, taxi, for keeping us all up to speed. 

    Despite the bloody narrative, very much appreciated.

  214. Taxi says:

    Casualties update: 22 Gazans dead overnight, 9 of them children.  And 9 injuries in Ashkelon, plus plenty of property damage.  But, how often does israel tell the truth about its casualty count?  It couldn't hide the death of 3 jewish intelligence personnel whose car was targeted with a Kornet just outside the Gaza border yesterday at sunset.  A viral video of this attack is doing the rounds and clearly, no survivors emerged out of that ball of fire and black smoke (I'll post this vid when I find it).  It is reported that one of the casualties in the Kornet was a top intel leader, tasked with the Gaza file.

    Either way, this fight is about establishing a new level of deterrence.  This is the aim of the Palestinian resistance.  They aim to tie up the hands of israel when it comes to its internal military operations against the Palestinians.  The idea is to cripple its operations outside of the holy land (only Syria remains a viable target for israel – for now, that is), and ALSO to cripple it internally too.

    The other really important aim is to reconnect the disparate Palestinian territories inside of Historic Palestine – making Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza into a contiguous territory, regardless of their imposed isolation.  In other words, to create an internal Palestinian military defense that checks jewish crimes and terrorism against the isolated native Palestinian communities.

  215. Taxi says:

    Let us remember here that the reason why fiery exchanges occurred yesterday and continue today was because israel ignored the Palestinian demand that it withdraws its hostile forces from Al-Aqsa.  Of course, israel cannot be seen as submitting to any Palestinian demands, yet, this morning, it was striking at Gaza with one hand, while the other was halving its troops in Al-Aqsa.

    I call this a backtrack while trying to save face.  But the jews in the holy land are a treacherous lot and whatever strategic loss israel was taxed with overnight, it will nevertheless relentlessly attempt to reverse it: attempt to return to the usual status quo of israel dominating 100% of everything Palestinian.

    I don't think the jews are capable of returning to the old status quo.  The Palestinian resistance's charge is forward-moving, not regressing.  I compare israel now to an armed man who still has his Ak-47, but the ammo has been snatched away.  All he can do now is wave his empty gun about the place, pretending that it's loaded.

      Here's yesterday’s video of the Gaza attack on an israeli intel vehicle, with 3 jewish personnel inside, about to meet their maker:

      @ taxi,

      “I compare israel now to an armed man who still has his Ak-47, but the ammo has been snatched away.  All he can do now is wave his empty gun about the place, pretending that it’s loaded.”

      I’d say it’s an old man, sitting behind a belt-fed machine gun, with quite a bit of ammo missing.

      The viper isn’t toothless yet and underestimating Occupied Palestine’s need to try and be seen as a bunch of normal people, not the neurotic, self-imploding stereotypes, who get nervous when they’re supposed to feel happy, so they’ll try to pull something off here and there, but downing $500 missiles with $1,000,000 a pop AA, is only possible because of unca Sammy and his bottomless coffers, and Occupied Palestine would ran outta dough when it has to stand on its own feet and cough of up the shekels all by itself. 

      Moral of the story: never underestimate your opponent, ever.

  216. Taxi says:

    11am UPDATE:

    It appears to be the case that the jewish city of Ashkelon was targeted the most by the Gaza Resistance since 6pm yesterday.  (Ashkelon is full of Ashkenazim and for its ugly name alone, it should be wiped right off the map!).  Over 70 rockets fell on ugly Ashkelon while its coward settlers hid in underground bunkers, and while its First Respondents frantically tried to put numerous fires out.  There are now some 23 injured settlers and 1 dead one in Ashkelon.  Palestinian rockets continue to fall on it as I write this.

    Gaza casualties are now at 100+ injured and 24 dead, of which 9 are children.  There are zero bunkers in Gaza.

    We note here how israel's response in Gaza overnight was pretty mild, considering past brutal assaults that were shockingly disproportionate and aimed at creating offensive, terroristic massacres and not defensive blocking.  One can already sense the jewish hesitation in their offensive operations: using modest tactical withdrawals executed in opaque ways, so as to hide their hemorrhaging powers from view.  Several jewish air raids in Gaza last night were more of an assassination mission, targeting specific structures where they thought Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders were.  These assassination-raids caused material damage and some injuries, and no Gaza leadership was touched.  This indicates that jewish intelligence-gathering is also faltering.

    The ghost of a Third Intifada still hovers today, considering that the exchange of deadly clashes and strikes between the two sides continue, compounded by the fact that the Palestinian street remains in fiery protest in Jerusalem, in the West Bank, AND in what is known as the '48 Triangle' (enclave where Palestinians with israeli IDs live).  Tens of thousands of Palestinians have returned to the streets today, protesting the attacks on Al-Aqsa and on Gaza.  Sickening, yet completely expected, Mr. Abbas has remained silent throughout this latest clash.  Not a whisper or a pip-squeak from that spineless noodle.  He didn't even bother to send a well-wishing delegation to a hospital where Palestinians are recovering from their injuries.  Pffff!  Really, at this stage, who the fuck cares?!  Abbas-Shamabbas!  It sure doesn't look like Palestinians and their Resistance fighter need any help from anybody!  The Gaza Resistance announced a couple of hours ago that should israel continue with its assaults on Gaza past end of today, they will "start to use bigger weapons against the terrorist, rapist" jews.

    Unless Netanyahu is ready for prison, these clashes will continue to expand and become more out of control.  No doubt he is liberally using this crisis to avoid having to sit through meetings tasked with determining a new israeli government.  You bet he's avoiding these meeting!  They take place against a backdrop where all other jews sitting at the same table are hostile towards Netanyahu and want him out of office asap.  Netanyhu now has literally no jewish allies inside of the current government.  His political detractors are calling him "more dangerous to israel than Hamas."

    *(Will keep readers updated if further developments occur today.  Probably when the Gaza Resistance pulls out its bigger guns woohoo!).

    • Taxi says:

      I should also mention that the israeli military today did not resume its biggest ever military exercise (after putting it on 24hr ice yesterday).  It released a statement this morning saying that the "exercises will resume when conditions permit."

      • Canthama says:

        It is quite telling indeed that the apartheid regime in Occupied Palestine is hesitating, it seems they are lost…kind of against the wall….if they over react they will risk losing, if they do nothing they risk being seeing as a lame dog…..we have seen their decline, moral, military and socially, but we always thought about how powerful it was thus how it is supposed to be now….but Nasrallah is always right…'weak like a spider’s web'.

        Do these freaks understand they are walking toward the abyss ? Or their pride, bubble world and selfishness can not allow them to see anymore?

        Let the end be now.

    • Taxi says:

      Approximately two hours ago, israeli air forces intentionally targeted a civilian house in Gaza, killing there a young mother and her 10 year old boy.  Immediately, Gaza's bigger guns came out, and some 20 rockets were sent to the jewish settler town of Ashdod (another ugly name!), where several residential buildings there were struck.  Gaza had warned the jews this morning to stop targeting Gaza's civilian structures, else it would itself start targeting jewish residentials.  The 'eye for an eye' warning was ignored by israel, and Gaza thus brought out its 'bigger guns' earlier than expected and punched up the jewish settler town of Ashdod.  Ashdod lies further away from Gaza than Ashkelon, so medium range rockets are now being used against Ashdod: rockets that can also reach tel aviv if aimed in that direction.  "The oil stain is expanding under the heat," as a TV news analyst described the Palestinian reach.

      Israeli media is claiming that 5 settlers have died from the Gaza barrage, 3 of them from heart attacks (induced by the sound of approaching rockets), and 2 others died from injuries when a 6 story building they were in was targeted by Gaza.  Reports from israeli media describe the settlements surrounding Gaza, up to 40 kilometers inland, as eerie ghost towns: emptied of life but for the lively sirens echoing non-stop.  Either settlers there have all ran away, or are in underground bunkers.  Either way, this is not the news that israelis living in cities and in kibbutzes in the rest of israel proper want to hear.  Nobody wants to spend endless days in crowded shelters, especially during Covid.

      The Palestinians are changing their reality right in front of our eyes.  They are succeeding at asserting their new abilities and new deterrence policy of 'an eye for an eye…'  The question here is how long will it take the dumb jews to get this new reality that states that from here on, there WILL BE accountability for jewish crimes against the Palestinians?  I wager that their inherent racism and supremacist mindset will hinder their grasp of this reality.  Today the israeli army and government are treading on a knife's edge.  Escalate attacks on Gaza and the gates of the Big War could easily swing wide open.  De-escalate and risk looking like losers and weaklings (which they are in actual fact!).  Both choices for the israelis are full of death and damnation.  But a choice here they must make – and we will get to know their choice by how they run their show in the next 48 hours or so.

      Mindful here too that an israeli poll taken last year found that 64% of young jews between the ages of 18-35 have little to no desire to live in israel anymore – and most of them are dual citizens.  (Maybe 64% will flee and the rest will die from heart attacks when the gates of the Big War open heh!).

      Let's end this comment with a reminder of what the Gaza Resistance is demanding from the terrorist jews:

      1- Stop entering Al-Aqsa and harassing worshipers there

      2- Release all Palestinians arrested in the past 24 hours

      3-  Stop all Palestinian evictions and home-demolitions in Jerusalem and the West Bank

      Very difficult for the jews to accept any of the above.  But accept they must, or else…

      I assert here that we have now entered a new and historic era where any verbal threat delivered to israel from the Palestinian Resistance will from here on be accompanied by actual, definitive action.

      The old status quo is dead.  Impossible now to revive it.

      The Palestinians have finally created for themselves a deterrence.  A truly amazing achievement.  Wow!  Well, not really – not when your enemy is a born fucking coward! With a loose grip on reality.

        Over 200 Gaza rockets were fired on Ashdod this afternoon. Iron Dome managed to intercept approx 30% of them (according to israeli reports).

        The jews took revenge for Ashdod by assaulting Gaza with three simultaneous strikes on its industrial sector in south Gaza.

      Meanwhile, Nasrallah's Ninjas on the border are chilling and smiling much to themselves.  The biggest jewish military exercise ever has been 'postponed till further notice' and israel looks like it's choking: having chewed off more Palestine than it can swallow.

      Nasrallah, last year during one of his speeches said that in a war scenario, the "Palestinian Resistance alone can take down the zionist entity."  Evidently, he knew then what we all know now.

      And he could also be right when he said during the same speech that israel "can be dismantled without a war" – that the situation could get so bad in israel that jews themselves would start leaving of their own volition.

      I would be astounded if this were to happen.  And disappointed too.  Because it would mean that evil fled, only to regroup again to torment our grandchildren.

    The israeli Minister of War instructed the jewish military to remain steadfast as the days ahead will see an escalation of the current conflict with Gaza.

    The very same Minister of War also justified the blatant failures of the Iron Dome by saying that "they were running faulty today and our team is working on fixing the faults."

    The jewish air force has been terrorizing the people of Gaza with ongoing raids and assaults on civilian targets all fucking day long.  It is feared that tonight, because so many humiliations were heaped on jews this past 24 hours, that jews will now take acidic vengeance on the Palestinians by bombing tall Gaza residential buildings tonight while people there slept.  I have no doubt that plans for atrocities are on the jew table – permanently there: they never get removed.  I'm pretty sure none of us will be shocked to hear about yet another atrocity committed by the jews in the holy land – we will be bereaved, yes, but not shocked.  I'm thinking that the jews now feel that they have no other option but to escalate.  They cannot possibly retreat a mere 24 hours into this combat.  They may retreat later, but not right now.  This is something that the Axis of Resistance can deal with.  But Biden can't.  He is putting immense pressure on Netanyahu to cool it all off asap.  Oh yeah and Biden released the usual "israel has the right to defend itself blah blah…" puke fest to obviously appease the AIPAC mass murderers who gave him his seat of power in the first place.  Somehow, I'm sensing that this phrase “israel has the right to defend itself” has lost some of its glisten and gleam on American brains by now.  I'm not picking up that Gentile Americans are much concerned over what's happening in the holy land right now – waaaay too busy with their own problems.  And I wonder, what of the woke movement – you know, that little monster that American jews created – what will they make of what they see trending high on twitter vids: racist israeli police beating up on brown-skinned natives in their prayer houses?  Will they experience a cross-wire-brain-explosion that renders them catatonic?  Oh right, I just remembered: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE WOKESTERS heh.

    We are now only 3 days away from israel's Independence Day, and 4 days away from the Palestinian Nakba.  It can only get hotter till then – and probably even past these two dates.  But one thing's for sure: it ain't over, or anywhere near over.

    RIP to all the fallen Palestinian resistors and to the children that jews murdered today out of vengeance.  Of the Palestinians, Jesus might say: they are the meek and the meek shall inherit the earth.

    Tonight I will listen to Arab analysts on TV; and tomorrow I will continue following events in the holy land in real time, and of course, I will share my info with you, as per usual.

      Last note: The Gaza Resistance is saying that today they launched 137 rockets at Ashkelon inside of 6 minutes.

      Wow!

      This explains why the jewish Minister of War felt compelled to publicly explain why so many rockets fell despite the Iron Dome being activated. I mean he really didn’t have to publicly make such a stupid yet revealing comment.

      Clearly, just like Hezbollah, the Palestinian Resistance evidently has ‘many surprises’ too.

        Okay last-last note.  Big news keeps coming in big and fast so I'll leave this one last and important development:  the jewish air force bombed a tall building in Gaza called "Hanadi Tower'.  Big fat building sunk, and big fat black smoke rose in its place.  It's a residential building and casualties as of now are unavailable (will provide tomorrow).  Minutes after the Hanadi Tower was brought down, tel aviv got some serious rocket punches from Gaza.  And minutes after that, another even larger barrage of rockets fell on tel aviv.  Jewish media is saying "rockets fell on tel aviv like we've never seen before."  Sirens are going off everywhere in tel avi and just now I saw footage of tel aviv streets in real time: all completely empty, and windows of residential buildings here and there were turning their lights off in rapid succession – probably jews in there rushing off to shelters.  It all made for jaw-dropping viewing.

    Good morning, world.  Soon as I woke up and turned on my TV news channel to catch up with what went down in tel aviv overnight, I witnessed a vicious live assault on Gaza by the jewish terrorist air force.  Massive bombing campaign at sunrise- at least a dozen columns of smoke all rising within seconds of each other over Gaza.

    I'll now go get some coffee and surf the news – extra strong coffee is needed to punch a dull headache I woke up with.

    Will keep y'all posted in a bit.

  223. Daniel Rich says:

    @ taxi/et al,

     A few reactions/observations:

     1) – “…and 2 others died from injuries when a 6 story building they were in was targeted by Gaza.”

    The Palestinian Partisans don’t have access to guided munition/s.

    I’m talking longer distance here -beyond ~ 3,5 miles, 5,5 km-, out of reach of an ATGM, like the 9M133 Kornet – Russian made, btw.-, that can go in a ‘fire & Forget” mode, although the latest 9M133 Kornet-EMs do have that capacity, but the Palestinian Partisans don’t have access to them, yet

    They can’t punch in the coordinates of a certain building, like the Iranians did, and deliver a pin-point, accurate barrage of steel and explosives right where they want them to land. They can ‘target’ a certain area and hope for the best. However, wind [direction], general friction, humidity, temperature, weather, etc. all play a crucial role in not being able to get an unguided missile to land where you want it to land.

    Long story short: the Palestinian Partisans were lucky. Needless to say, I hope they don’t run out of it and may they hit many more buildings and installations.

    Normally I’d add ‘Don’t hit civilians’ to it, but with this collective monster on the loose, better known to mankind as Occupied Palestine and 85% of them military grade, past, present and future, I say, ‘F*** ‘em. And f*** ‘em good, long and hard!’

     2) – “A truly amazing achievement.  Wow!  Well, not really – not when your enemy is a born fucking coward! With a loose grip on reality.”

    Although it is true that the Palestinian Partisans deals with a bunch of cowards, the fact remains; they do risk their lives. This is, because the Occupied Palestine squatters do have access to [courtesy of unca Sammy]: Counter Battery Radar/Fire. This means that this radar can calculate the point of origin of said munition and open counter-fire, with the aforementioned pin-point accuracy.

     3) – “The jews took revenge for Ashdod by assaulting Gaza with three simultaneous strikes on its industrial sector in south Gaza.”

    Now that quite a few people around the globe are tuned into this ongoing conflict [not enough, imo, but alas, it’s growing anyway], Occupied Palestine is way more hesitant to let tanks open fire with flechette shells than ever before. However, these miserable critters still go for the soft and unprotected underbelly of the Palestinian side and destroy as much livelihood as they can. Although an ‘eye for an Eye’ makes people go blind, it feels good [pun intended :o]

     

    4) – “And he could also be right when he said during the same speech that israel “can be dismantled without a war” – that the situation could get so bad in israel that jews themselves would start leaving of their own volition.”

    Provided the Palestinian Partisans manage to lob missiles into Occupied Palestine day after day, night after night [especially the latter, coz it f***s with people’s sleep cycles], in due time the so-called Occupied Palestine citizens rate will plummet faster than that frozen turkey that hit an Occupied Palestine F-16, a few years back.

     

    5 – “Because it would mean that evil fled, only to regroup again to torment our grandchildren.”

    After 2,000 years of such behavior, why are you surprised…?

    I do concur though, that nobody should be punished by having to accept this bunch of miserable excuses for human beings in their fold.
     
     I’m truly delighted to see that the Palestinian Partisans finally have the means to fight back, although it’s still an unfair fight. One day we will read in the new scriptures:

     “And Areeb picked up a stone and slungeth it toward the circumcised giant, Doliath. His act of selfishness, still trains the Partisans hands for war, and their fingers for battle, today. Onward to the breach, once more.”

      Thanks, Daniel. Don’t worry about efficient weapons not being in the hands of the Palestinian Resistance. They actually have everything they need, including guided missiles and advanced ground-to-air missiles, courtesy of Iran’s stock and Hezbollah’s training of the Gaza Resistance groups. We will see bigger weapons used by the Palestinian Resistance as the situation escalates. They are following, to the exact word, the Hezbollah model, and the Hezbollah model is full of ‘surprises’.

      Palestinian casualties are proudly seen as ‘martyrs’ by the resistors, not as mere ‘collateral damage’ to be senselessly wailed over. We are talking here about a people whose culture is pickled in the concept of martyrdom. The price of freedom has already been configured and embraced from a long time ago. Just as the Hezbollah is not afraid to die, so is the Palestinian Resistance and its civilian supporters. To them, the price of freedom is worth it a million times over. Really, the Gaza Resistance might as well be called ‘Hezbollah’ at this stage. Everything they’re doing is by the Hezbollah book and this model has already proved itself to be a success story.

      I, like everyone else in the Levant: we are not worried about casualties and only focused on the prize. Liberation! This does not mean that we dismiss israel’s ability to murder en mass, or that we’re disengaged from the suffering Palestinians under current bombardment. But a deterrence has been established these past two days and at the end of the day, this deterrence works in favor of the Axis of Resistance.

      The liberation of Palestine will change the world completely, and its hour is fast approaching.

    Taxi, I hope none of them leave to regroup as you say, I want them to be massacred. If they leave many will end up in the city of my birth, Melbourne, Australia.

    This capitol of the State of Victoria is jew central, with jew loving state level MPs and Australia even has a federal MP that is a Zionist Hungarian “jew” (I asked him via an email, after he was elected, if he would place Australia first; no reply as yet LOL).

    During the 2nd Intifada a compromised Zionist toady Prime Minister said any Israelis wanting to leave there were welcome to stay in Australia. Well they are not.

    They have already infiltrated the governments here (as in many countries) and if more live here we will become like the USA; totally jew dominated.

    Viva la resistance.

    PS: You have a great responsibility Taxi; since syrianperspective has gone you are the sole truth teller in the region. We thank you for that.

    • Taxi says:

      I hear your concerns, bro. With the coming death of israel, we know that the political arm of the jewish diaspora will be greatly weakened, yet the world’s so-called ‘jewish problem’ will remain. And it will remain so as long as the genocidal talmud remains ‘the centerpiece of jewish life’ (phrase coined by the jewishlibraryonline). Politicians the world over will not be as beholden to jewish demands with tel aviv in rubble. Gentile money will stop flooding jewish coffers as there will be no ‘jewish homeland address’ to send cheques to. At this stage, it will be up to the jews: follow the ani-humanitarian talmud and risk loss of life and wealth, or stop following the evil talmud and arrive at security and harmony with the rest of the human race.

      One thing is for sure: it will be much more feasible to check jewish power around the world with israel buried six feet under.

        @ taxi,

         Time to turn the whole lot/thing into an ardent natterjack, like the stuffed one on my granddad's mantlepiece :o].

  225. Taxi says:

    …  So, for lack of time right now, I'll sum up today's news in the holy land like this: more brutal vengeance by the terrorist jews against heroic Gaza is ongoing…

    I'm feeling a new article for Plato's brewing within me.  I think I'll have lunch and get to writing it… 

    Laterz!

    • Taxi says:

      I gotta interrupt my new article-writing here and share with you that Palestinians from the town of Lod took over all the streets of this town and have been in control of it since last night. Jewish residents of Lod all fled the town last night and today they are saying they’re too scared of Palestinians to return. Last night, when reports of the Palestinian Lod protests were being televised, a TV analyst said that “Lod should now be considered as the first liberated Palestinian town as all jews there have fled with just the clothes on their back.”

      Are jewish residents of Lod expecting the idf to now commit a genocide against the Palestinian Lodians just so that jewish settlers can feel safe to return there? Do they think the Palestinian Resistance will allow for such a thing to happen without exacting the heaviest price on the idf and on settler enclaves?

      Dream on motherfuckers! There ain’t no going back! The world has changed overnight and the only solution now for the klepto-terrorist jews is to pack their suitcases and catch a cab to the airport asap – before the airport too is liberated and becomes under the control of Palestinians!

    • Taxi says:

      The Qassam Brigade has just announced that it has launched 15 rockets aimed at the Dimona territory. This is in response to israeli terrorism and intentional civilian massacres that israel committed today in Gaza.

  226. Harry Law says:

    Hamas does have the right to use Belligerent reprisal  against Israel who target as a matter of policy innocent civilians, it is also simply a matter of common sense, an example, if two boxers agree to the marquess of Queensbury rules, and one kicks the other in the groin and stands on his opponents neck, the other is allowed to strike out with his foot in order not to be killed, although kicking is not allowed.

    State practice establishes this rule as a norm of customary international law applicable in international armed conflicts. A belligerent reprisal consists of an action that would otherwise be unlawful but that in exceptional cases is considered lawful under international law when used as an enforcement measure in reaction to unlawful acts of an adversary.

    1. Purpose of reprisals. Reprisals may only be taken in reaction to a prior serious violation of international humanitarian law, and only for the purpose of inducing the adversary to comply with the law.
    2. (ii) Measure of last resort. Reprisals may only be carried out as a measure of last resort, when no other lawful measures are available to induce the adversary to respect the law.
    3. (iii) Proportionality. Reprisal action must be proportionate to the violation it aims to stop.
    4. (iv) Decision at the highest level of government. The decision to resort to reprisals must be taken at the highest level of government.
    5. (v) Termination. Reprisal action must cease as soon as the adversary complies with the law.

      @ Harry Law,

      Nobody on the battlefield runs around with law books in their hands. You either carry all the ammo you think you need or run back with a wounded buddy over your shoulder.

      The above is really civvies’ talk [not meant to be derogative or a personal attack whatsoever].

      Palestinian Partisans should kill as many Occupied Palestine squatters as they can.

      Our host taxi believes the PP have all the means they need. Given the PP’s kill ratio, I’m not convinced they do.

      Matter of personal opinion.

    • Taxi says:

      Sparrow, only the above tweet link made it – all others you’ve posted so far have been suppressed by angry, witless jews.

      • Sparrow says:

        They are somehow monitoring your site as I can get these tweets from my house.  Many in Gaza are saying they don't have power though.  MEE can still be accessed though.

      • Taxi says:

        They can look right up my jaxxi for all I care! Plato’s gets daily hacking attempts – sometimes an insane amount of attempts.

        And to be honest with you, for a while now I’ve been over twitter and the rest of the msm, including MEE. I just don’t do msm article-reading or linking anymore, preferring to get my news from independent Arab news outlets, and straight from talking to people in the know. I find that this method keeps both my brains and the comment section all nice and clean and unencumbered. I ask you just forget posting tweets here – waste of your time and mine.

        BTW there was no explosion on the Leb border with occupied Palestine, as one of the tweets’ url read. Fake news, like half of twitter is.

        Thanks for your well-wishes: my head still hurts and the only cure at this stage is a dose of good sleep.

  227. Taxi says:

    Dear Sparrow.  Welcome back to Plato's.  Hope you've been keeping well.

    Unfortunately, non of your 7 twitter links opened.  All of them took to a message that said: 'Hmm…this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else..'.

    Weird, yet not – if you know waddamean.

    Having lost the narrative for the past three days, twitter jews are today genociding the truth in an attempt to regain it.  It won't work.  People know.  And those who don't, well, to hellfuck with them.

     

    • Sparrow says:

      ok…when I even click on the recent ones I sent they are blocked.  But if one wants to type in address you can still access.  Sorry about that.  They think they can win by doing this  smiley

        Just forget the lying, cheating twitter. One doesn’t need twitter to know what’s going on. They can shove their wide ‘platform’ up their narrowest orifice.

    Well, readers and friends, despite my thumping headache, I did manage to finish writing my new article, but now am stuck finding the right artwork for it.  I think I will sleep on the project tonight, and with fresh brains tomorrow work on its accompanying image.

    Meanwhile, OMFG it's still all going down in the holy land.  The angel fights with wings, and the devil there fights with hooves.

    And a bunch of jew soldiers including several high-rankers were also killed, but I don’t fucking care to name them.

    1 HOUR AGO

    Israeli president called Lod protesters 'bloodthirsty Arab mob'

    1 hour ago

    The Israeli government has been taking a hardline stance on Palestinian citizens of Israel, especially in the mixed Jewish-Palestinian town of Lod south of Tel Aviv, where Palestinians have taken to the streets in solidarity with Jerusalem and Gaza.

    Confrontations erupted overnight in Lod between Palestinians and Jewish-Israelis in Lod, with cars and buildings burnt, and at least one synagogue torched. 

    Israeli President Reuven Rivlin called the events on Tuesday in Lod a “pogrom” carried out by "a bloodthirsty Arab mob".

    Israeli security officials have said they reassigned 16 border police battalions from the occupied West Bank to Lod and other towns in Israel, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a “state of emergency” in Lod.

    Palestinian citizens of Israel constitute around 20 percent of the country’s population, and are subjected to a number of discriminatory laws compared to Jewish-Israelis. Palestinian-majority towns and villages have long complained of being neglected and underserved by the state.

    This is one of the biggest change I see by Qassam Brigade, they are aiming in several apartheid regime assets this time…..oil pipeline, airport, port and many more….this is a big change and exposes the Iron Dome to a ridicule never seen before…..

      They’re working on getting a fixed deterrence, hence their high-caliber target list. They can’t and won’t stop till they get there, even if it leads to wider war. Something that resistance wants, but won’t directly initiate.

  232. Taxi says:

    Please Sparrow STOP posting tweets!  Just stop it!  It doesn't work and it cost me time cleaning it all up.  I really don't have the time or the inclination to clean up tweets – ever.

  233. Taxi says:

    The military spokesman for Gaza's Saraya al-Jihad resistance group has asked medias to point their cameras at Palestine's sky at 9:pm. 

    Hmmm…???

  234. Taxi says:

    The israeli cabinet met today and concluded with the notion that they will carry on assaulting Gaza and the resisting Palestinians in their midst for the next week or so.  They will target much but keep the value of the targets low.

    Uhuh riiiiiight.  So the jews think they're in control of the situation with their "week or so?"

    Israel's independence day is in two days and jew berserker settlers are bound to commit an atrocity or two, especially against children.  And in three days time it's Palestinian Nakba day where the grief and rage and push-back will mark the day.

    This fire is growing and it cannot be put out in "a week or so" with a side bucket of ice water.

  235. Taxi says:

    Abbas just gave his first little speech (about 3-4 mins) – first official word from him since it all cracked open, a good week ago.  His speech was better than I thought it would be.  He gave hearty support to the resistance taking place.  He directed some of his lines at the US and israel, gesticulated with hands and said: "The cup has spilled over.  Leave us alone!  Just leave us alone!  Enough occupation!  We want our liberation!  Get off our chests!  Get off our chests!  We have no more patience in us!"

  236. Taxi says:

    Right now at 9:39pm, in Hezbollah's Dahiya/south Beirut, a huge street party has erupted in honor of the Palestinian people.  Happenstance that it's also the last day of Ramadan and everyone is extra perky because everyone has just broken their last fasting day.  But… but wait -hold up!  A Hezbollah party, you say?  Yeah you bet.  Popular resistance songs blaring out of giant speakers, all dancey music, people-mass thickening quick in the main square, young people dressed up like it's their last Saturday night, lots of smokey eyes and perfect eyebrows everywhere, a mini vendor here, a Palestinian flag there and all over the place, fairy-lights dangling under the night sky, and frigging skinny teenagers on mopeds zipping about the place like mosquitos.

    Young Hezboz are sending the good vibes out to the young Gazoz.

    Resistance as joy.

    • Saladin says:

      Hi Taxi. Just want to say again that your reports from “on the ground” in Leb about what’s coming down in Palestine and elsewhere in the ME are really incredibly valuable. As you know there is a dearth of honest journalism in the west regarding all things Palestinian and with regard to the resistance. The official position remains complete support of israeli terrorism. Americans are slow to wake up, though many are waking up. We need your reports. They are nourishment for the soul, mind and heart in this desert wasteland of lies and disinformation. So once again, thank you, and please keep up the flow of information from your unique perspective.

      • Taxi says:

        Oh man, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you for your heartfelt support and appreciation.

        I’ll do my best and keep sharing with you my non-journalism heh.

  237. Daniel Rich says:

    I really hope Palestine will be able [even in the long run] to rid itself from this circumcised parasite and be free once more.

    But I also have to remain realistic, and that means I gotta take into account what unca Sammy is willing to do [given the fact that DC’s mostly run by said critters]. 

    Yes, fighting back is a game changer [I’m really happy about that], but the Occupied Palestine squatters can [and will] be hell-bent on bending all commonly accepted/agreed upon rules of engagement, as they’ve done so, for over 7 decades.

    These losers want to win no matter what.

    I only rejoice once my opponent’s face hits the canvas…
