Month: October 2023

A girl soldier named Ori, looks to be about 18, was rescued by Israeli troops last night during “operations deep within Gaza”. The IDF isn’t saying how it was done so I’ll hazard a guess. It’s a given that many of their troops are trained in tunnel warfare, and it was a group of those who went into one and found a bunch of Hamas radicals and some hostages. There was a firefight, she is the lone survivor.

All just my opinion, but once discovered, does anyone think these fanatics wouldn’t kill their hostages? If this girl wasn’t raped repeatedly and beaten up, it would only be because there were more hostages, a group who are witnesses, that made doing this much more difficult.

But then, I tend to expect the worst and maybe she really was a lone hostage who got lucky.

More on Turkey. Erdogan has fired up a huge street demonstration, inciting hatred and violence toward Jews, not just Israeli Jews but all of them, spouting the old Muslim crap about them being the children of pigs and dogs.

Do you wonder what’s wrong with this man? He’s the leader of a powerful nation on the Eastern edge of Europe, he’s a member of NATO, and supposed to be an ally of other NATO members and those we protect. Like Israel. He gets his military goods from the USA, mostly, and enjoys a thriving economic relationship with the West along with the protection of it’s alliance and he’s about to throw it all away with his unfit behavior.

His ego has become greater than his common sense, his ascendance to virtual dictatorship in Turkey has overcome his rationality. If he leads Turkey into attacking Israel it will bring only destruction and death to Turkey. No glory, no shining, triumphant kingdom, only the stench of death. That’s what war does. More and more, he reminds me of Benito Mussolini, massively egoist and former dictator of Italy, ripped to shreds by the Italians and hung from a lamp post after WW2 ended, for what he did to Italy.

That the Muslim world wants to attack Israel is now very obvious. What’s stopping them so far is the presence of our military might, and that’s there to prevent the use of nuclear weapons by Israel to keep from being destroyed. So jackasses like Erdogan are trying to skirt the edges, by haranguing the people with Jew hate. That way, if they go off on their own by the tens of thousands to attack Israel, hey, it’s not Turkey’s fault, right? You see, this is not genius. If he succeeds, doesn’t he know that one of Israels nukes has his name on it?

People who ascend to the highest positions of power are not the smartest or most capable, they’re just the ones who want it the most. That doesn’t mean they know what to do with it when they have it, they usually don’t, which is why the world is always in such a mess.

So now, anyway, we have Turkey aligning with Iran, and when this alliance turns into overt action, everyone else is going to join in with them and absolute Hell is going to break out. I’m sure the Pentagon has more than one strategy developed to deal with this but their plans may or may not be what we would like.

There are lots of Muslim demonstrations and uprisings outside the Middle East entirely, here in the USA and in Europe, and we all have far too many Muslims in our nations that are certain to cause immense problems at home while the war rages abroad.

Right now the Israeli leadership is saying what our government and all the Muslims wants to hear, that when this war finally ends, they won’t occupy Gaza. I don’t believe that for a second though, they have to occupy it. If they turn around and leave after wiping out Hamas, the whole mess will just start right back up again. If they don’t annex Gaza outright, then the other option is to get together with Fatah and the Left Bank and jointly govern the area.

But that’s far in the future and wars have a way of going sideways. We will see.

Less than 17% of those living in the Gaza strip are over 40 years old and over 47% are under 18. That leaves 36% between the ages of 18 and 40. 83% are under 41. The link shows a pyramid graph of population percentage by age.

There’s two good reasons for these numbers. One is that the women have lots of children and the other is that life in Gaza is very unhealthy. The Muslims and the Liberal Media love blaming that on the Jews and their long blockade of the Gaza Strip while ignoring the reason for it, the invasions from there into Israel of terrorists who set off bombs anywhere Jews gather, at funerals, weddings, in buses, crowded theaters and bars and so on, and incessantly fire rockets from there into Israeli cities. The purpose of the blockade is to prevent as much war materials as possible from entering the area to be used against Israelis.

But the real reason it’s so unhealthy for older people is because they’re used as cannon fodder by their Hamas leaders. They’re usually the ones firing rockets and getting hit by Israeli retaliatory air strikes. Old Muslims aren’t as useful as young ones, to Hamas, so they’re used up.

Much more on all this on Monday.

Israel’s population is growing and that means more sewage to dispose of, and it would be so simple to just pipe all their sewage into those tunnels. I bet they could hold 100 years worth of it. You want to make the tunnels unusable? Well, there ya go. Just saying, I think it would be funny. But seriously…….

I thought the Big Invasion of Gaza was going to happen last night but while it was a major incursion, it’s still not the biggie. It looks like Israel’s strategy in conducting this war is to keep taking bigger and bigger bites, backing up each time to assess the situation, gather further intelligence, then plan the next moves.

This has to be driving Hamas nuts. They were bragging how they were going to erupt out of their tunnels from behind the Israeli forces that had proceeded past them and then devastate them from behind. But this morning’s report is that at least 150 tunnels have been made “unusable”. That’s a lot of tunnels and they’ve just started into Gaza so it sounds to me like the Israelis probably know right where each and every one is.

This Attack-Retreat, Attack-Retreat must also be infuriating Iran since their stated excuse for attacking Israel is a full-on invasion by Israel of Gaza. I suspect what Israel will do as they advance into Gaza is attack hard mostly overnight and then stop and fall back a little, then do it again the next night, then maybe take 2 days off, then move forward again. That would really have the Ayatollah shrieking and gibbering in rage, it would be hilarious.

Of course, Iran fully intends to attack Israel, that’s why they started this Hamas-proxy war with them in the first place, and they’re not going to let Israel’s shrewd battle tactics stop them. It will probably happen about when the IDF is halfway into Gaza City. That will give the Iranians credibility and justification with the other Islamic states that they’ll all then claim they have for “Israel’s aggression against Muslims”.

Just how these Islamic states will respond to US intervention against Iran is yet to be seen, none of them are major military threats except Turkey and Pakistan and Turkey is a NATO ally and Pakistan isn’t likely to be interested in fighting us. Turkey’s actions lately have been skating a thin edge and the only reason they’re still in NATO is because our Air Force occupies part of their Incirlik Air Base. Last I heard we had 90 A-Bombs stored there.

Most likely, we will be cut off from a lot of Mid-East oil over this. Other than that there’s little we need from that area.

As to how they’ll respond to Israel in the immediate future is a different matter. So far, Hezbollah in Lebanon with their hundreds of thousands of rockets, have kept things minimal, for them anyway, and Egypt and Jordan have made no moves. I expect all that will change.

At a Pentagon press conference, the question is asked, “Are we going to war with Iran?”

“The Pentagon is deploying two carrier strike groups, eleven Burke-class destroyers, a number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers, amphibious assault ships, THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems, multiple squadrons of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and undisclosed assets to the Middle East. The Pentagon expects Iranian proxies to continue to target U.S. troops in the region and has already stated that they will respond “decisively.” What’s the probability that this escalates into a war between the United States and Iran?”

PENTAGON: “Between October 17th and the 24th, U.S. and coalition forces have been attacked at least ten separate times in Iraq and three separate times in Syria via a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets… We know that the groups conducting these attacks are supported by the IRGC and the Iranian regime. We are seeing the prospect for more significant escalation against U.S. forces and personnel across the region in the near term coming from Iranian proxy forces and, ultimately, from Iran. So, by virtue of our announcement over the weekend, we are preparing for this escalation, both in terms of defending our forces and responding decisively.”

So you can take the answer as a definite YES and I see the strategy here, now. The entire Arab Muslim world is preparing to attack Israel as Israel attacks Hamas in Gaza. Iran is the main supporter of Hamas and the instigator of the vicious assault on Israel, and by the US engaging Iran in a war, Iran’s ability to attack Israel will be greatly diminished. The rest of the rabid Muslim fanatics in the region will have to decide whether they want to be attacked by the US or not, because if they come at Israel, they will be, and Israel is also capable of a formidable defense as well as offense.

How quickly and devastatingly we can stop Iran will have a lot to do with that decision.

Iran produces only about 5% of the world’s oil. A much higher percentage comes past Iran through the Strait of Hormuz, which is a narrow sea inlet that reaches Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nation’s ports. It’s a pretty certain bet that Iran will mine the sea lanes but even if they can be kept open, much of the oil production will be shut down anyway or diverted to China.

This is why the current US government has sold off our Strategic Oil Reserve, and shut down much of our oil production, to weaken us prior to this war. Now a great fuel shortage is coming along with rationing. This is also why our two largest oil companies just bought up two other US oil producers, because once rationing starts they’ll go into high gear producing oil again, at greatly increased prices.

There’s a lot more coming I could tell you but I don’t want to make a book out of a post. I’ll go into it next week. Right now this is more than enough for you to deal with.

Not all of us, fortunately, but damn near all.

In case you never heard of him, there’s a guy named Mark Dice who lives in the Huntington Beach, CA area, who does “man in the street” online videos where he interviews people walking by about their views of different subjects, and he never fails to amaze me.

In his latest one, he has a bunch of $20 bills in one hand and a one ounce Canadian Maple Leaf coin in the other and asks people which they want, the $20 or the gold. The first dozen people he asked took the $20 instead of the $2000 gold coin, so he put away the $20’s and offered just $10 instead and everyone still took the money instead of the gold.

I was blown away. I had no idea so many of us were really that fucking stupid.

“Chevron announces buy of Hess for $53 billion in new oil megadeal days after Exxon says it will acquire shale giant Pioneer”.

Well, GOLLY GEE, folks, what do you make of this? First, they arbitrarily shut down America’s oil pipelines and oil production and bring shale oil production to a total halt and give no reason except “Carbon” .

Then after the price of fuel at the pump goes sky high, and the Mideast oil producers start aligning with China, a war blows up in the Middle East that promises to get huge and wreck their oil production, and SUDDENLY the two largest American oil companies are buying out the next-largest one AND the biggest shale oil producer.

The question is, is this a plan being carried out or is this just taking advantage of an unfortunate situation by corporations out to make profits?

Here’s a clue: The demand to make only electric cars by 2030 that run on only “Green” power from wind and solar is impossible. Totally. Millions of miles of new power lines alone would have to be installed, along with all the associated infrastructure plus all the solar and wind power plants. The entire “Carbon” thing is a scam designed to make us poorer and them richer, but what else is new?

Would you like another clue? “China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has deployed six warships in the Middle East, including a guided-missile destroyer, amid escalating tensions in the region.” This is more than just a token force and more Chinese ships may be coming. Depends on how many they want to pull away from their planned invasion of Taiwan.

It looks to me very much like we’re really going to war with a new China-Middle East bloc over oil production, not over terrorist groups like Hamas. No one gives a rats ass about Israel or the so-called “Palestinians”, a diversion is all they’ve ever been and this latest one is the excuse to reset control of the global energy sources.

So are we going to Global Nuclear War? No. When the stock market is doing so well now? Don’t be silly.

Pandora was a woman in ancient Greek mythology who opened a box that contained all the evils and woes of the world, which rushed out to harm humanity. In modern times, this has become a popular way of describing the beginning of war.

“US Sending THAAD & Patriot Anti-Missile Systems to Mid-East. 82nd Airborne on 20-min Deployment Alert.”

The anti-missile systems are designed to intercept ballistic missiles, the kind that carry nuclear warheads.

The 82nd Airborne is the single most powerful airborne force in the world, of division strength, consisting of 8,000 to 16,000 or more highly trained soldiers. The exact number is secret.

In addition, there are the two carrier strike forces, two aircraft carriers which have a minimum of 150 fighter/bomber jets between them, along with a fleet of guided missile (ICBM) cruisers and guided missile destroyers and no doubt some submarines.

This is absolutely massive firepower and obvious preparation for a big war. Just saying, there’s plainly more to come. A lot more.

Islam sees Communists the same as Jews and Christians and wants death for all of them. The rest of the world has other plans and this could turn into a war between Islam and the rest of us.

“Biden denied media reports that U.S. troops will join Israeli soldiers in fighting Hezbollah should the Lebanon-based militant group decide to help Hamas and initiate conflict with Israel.” And of course, the world knows that Joe Biden never lies. He’s referring to the 4000 US troops that are being deployed to the area. The area was never specifically defined, it was hinted that they would be used to protect American citizens in Gaza and maybe help find those held hostage. But Lebanon looks like a better bet.

I’ve been to Lebanon, in a landing of Marines there, many years ago, so I know personally that we’ve fought there before and will probably do so again. War with Iran looks inevitable and Iran is the force behind Hezbollah. If we fight Iran, we also fight Hezbollah, and Hamas too if the Israelis can’t handle them alone, since they’re also an arm of Iran.

We were told it was 2000 troops being deployed, a small number for us, and the other 2000 were quietly added later. But the whole story is a lie, aircraft carriers have crews of 5000 and there’s two of those plus guided missile destroyers and cruisers, supply ships and littoral craft, two full naval battle groups. No mention of troop carrier ships but they’ll be on their way. It’s when you hear about them that you know the invasion is on.
