Did Israel Know About the Attack?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 16, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

If this were a similar situation to 9/11, that would mean that the government was involved and allowed innocent civilians to die to promote an agenda. A false flag to create a global conflict. House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) claims that Egypt notified Israel of a potential incoming strike from Hamas. Israel denies the claim entirely.

“We do know the Egyptian intelligence did refer this to Israel. And I can’t get into any more depth than that. But I do think there was a threat-stream out there. It was a failure of intelligence,” McCaul stated. In fact, he claims that Hamas had been planning an invasion for over a war. “When the Egyptians did warn Israeli officials, obviously, there wasn’t enough done to stop it. This concerns me not just with respect to Hamas, but what about our intelligence on Hezbollah? What about our intelligence on Iran? They say there’s no clear link to Iran. I disagree with that,” He stated. An anonymous source claiming to be an Egyptian intelligence official cleared McCaul’s claims. “We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official told the Associated Press.

Egypt has told both the US and Israel that they will not engage in war. Egypt denied President Biden’s request to send troops into Gaza. The nation is now fortifying its border with Palestine to prevent those fleeing from entering. Cairo has requested that Israel cease air raids over the Rafah crossing that connects Gaza and Egypt so that the innocent may escape.

Regardless, how did Hamas penetrate the Iron Dome? Israel has one of the most secure airspaces and officials know when even a fly passes into its area. Anyone who has been to the Israeli airport will tell you how strict security has become. Are we to believe Hamas with a far less advanced military acted alone?

Odd that the US announced mere days before the attack an open Visa program with Israel “to enhance the security of the United States and partner countries while encouraging legitimate travel and commerce.” Something about this entire situation does not add up. At best, Hamas found a weakness within Israel’s defense system and Israeli intelligence agencies failed to adhere to warnings.

Joe Biden Prepares 2,000 U.S. Military Troops to “Support or Advise” Israeli War


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023

Interesting development….

(Via Wall Street Journal) – The U.S. military has selected roughly 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment to support Israel, U.S. defense officials said.

The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services. They aren’t intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.

The troops are currently stationed both inside the Middle East and outside, including Europe, the officials said. It isn’t clear under what circumstances the U.S. could deploy the troops or to where, but the Pentagon decision signaled it is preparing to support Israeli troops should Israel launch a ground incursion into Gaza.

It is unclear how many of those troops, should they be deployed, would go into Israel. But the officials said that at least some of them could enter the country to support Israeli forces. A predeployment order doesn’t mean the troops will certainly deploy but rather shortens the time troops need to be ready to move. (more)

Always pray for our troops.

Beyond Orwell – DC Judge Rules President Trump is Not Permitted to Criticize Trial, Judge, Witnesses or Prosecution


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023 | Sundance

Good luck with this effort!  That’s my thoughts.

Yes, DC Judge Tanya Chutkan can decree from her perch that President Donald Trump is not permitted to criticize his persecution, the court, the witnesses who will testify against him or the political prosecution that is targeting the leading 2024 presidential candidate, but executing that decree is another kettle of fish entirely.

It is one thing to decree your control over independent speech, it is another thing entirely to try and enforce that decree.  Thankfully, and standing firm in his position, President Trump said in response he is “willing to go to jail, if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again.”

(Washington DC) – […] Trump, who opted to campaign in Iowa rather than attend the hearing Monday, has also in recent weeks pointedly attacked several known witnesses in the case. He suggested that one of them, retired Gen. Mark Milley, would have warranted the death penalty in another era, and he repeatedly blasted another, former Attorney General Bill Barr.

Acknowledging Trump’s broad right to weigh in on public policy issues as he pursues a second term in the White House, Chutkan said nevertheless that Trump could not launch a “pretrial smear campaign” against those who might testify against him. She said she would consider “sanctions” if she observes any violations. She did not elaborate on those sanctions, although she said she planned to issue a written order with further details.

The pronouncement raises the prospect that Trump could face punishment — ranging from restrictions on his use of social media all the way up to potential pretrial incarceration — if he continues to mount public attacks on Smith and his team or witnesses likely to testify in his March trial.

Any restrictions against President Trump’s ability to defend himself from political prosecution can be appealed and let the Supreme Court of the United States go on record for or against the rights of the accused.

Argentine Follows US Charging Political Oppoent To Influence Election


Armstrong Economics Blog/South America Re-Posted Oct 15, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

A prosecutor launched a criminal case Friday against Argentina’s frontrunner in this month’s presidential elections, accusing Javier Milei of deliberately causing a drop in the Argentine currency when he encouraged citizens not to save in pesos. What the United States has done to Donald Trump has set the standard for the world. We will see more and more weaponizing of criminal law against political opponents. Everything is simply collapsing as we head into 2032.

The prosecutor has launched this criminal case against Argentina’s frontrunner in the presidential elections, accusing Javier Milei of deliberately causing a drop in the Argentine currency when he encouraged citizens not to save in pesos. Our computer clearly shows that this is a global trend to the dollar, and there is by no means a unique issue in Argentina.

President Alberto Fernández had called for the investigation in a complaint claiming that the right-wing populist candidate was trying to scare the public and that his actions were “a severe affront to the democratic system.”  Prosecutor Franco Picardi sent the case to a corrupt federal judge María Servini, who accepted Fernández’s accusation that claimed Milei and other candidates in his party were inciting public fear. Never have I ever heard such a crazy theory of manipulating a currency by a political comment.  This came on target for a Panic Cycle here in October.

During the 1960 US election, they attributed a current panic to Kennedy, but they did not criminally prosecute him. He said: “Now on the question of gold. The difficulty, of course, is that we do have heavy obligations abroad, that we therefore have to maintain not only a favorable balance of trade but also send a good deal of our dollars overseas to pay our troops, maintain our bases, and sustain other economies.”

Prime Minister Viktor Orban Outlines Why Samantha Power, USAID and CIA Hates Him


Posted originally on the CTH on October 13, 2023 | Sundance

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stands the gap.   This is going to drive the USAID leftists bananas.

[Source]

Hungary, a nation proud of its heritage, has been under assault from the U.S. State Department, the EU collective and the western NATO alliance for their refusal to acquiesce to the World Economic Forum and western globalist ideology. {background here}

We have discussed Hungary quite a bit, because Viktor Orban has been a very public thorn in the side of Joe Biden, the CIA and USAID (same/same), along with the US State Dept.

In early April 2022, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was overwhelmingly reelected {LINK}, despite the massive efforts against him by the European Union, western and euro-centric multinational globalists.   As a result of the victory, Brussels was furious at the Hungarian people.  Associated Press – […] “Orban — a fierce critic of immigration, LGBTQ rights and “EU bureaucrats” — has garnered the admiration of right-wing nationalists across Europe and North America.” (link)

Within the statements reported from his 2022 victory speech, Prime Minister Orban warned citizens of the NATO and western allied countries about the manipulation of Ukraine and how he views the Zelenskyy regime:  […] “while speaking to supporters on Sunday, Orban singled out Zelenskyy as part of the “overwhelming force” that he said his party had struggled against in the election — “the left at home, the international left, the Brussels bureaucrats, the Soros empire with all its money, the international mainstream media, and in the end, even the Ukrainian president.” (link)

This put Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in the crosshairs of the western alliance, specifically the EU and U.S. bureaucrats who use their power, position and intelligence apparatus to manipulate foreign nations.  A year later we saw USAID Administrator Samantha Power in Hungary openly discussing her seeding of the NGO’s and political activist systems in order to generate yet another color revolution. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:

USAID in Hungary

Samantha Power, the wife of Cass Sunstein, is well known as the Obama/Biden administration’s advance operative who uses her position in U.S. government to influence activism in targeted nations. Hungary is now her target.

Why is eliminating Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban now a goal of the Biden administration.  Well, a reminder:

♦ Hungary warned citizens of the west about the New World Order, created through Ukraine.

♦ Hungary continued to purchase Russian oil and natural gas.  Zelenskyy and the Western alliance were furious.

♦ Hungary said they would continue energy purchases in Rubles if that is what Russia demanded.

The World Economic Forum and NATO/Western Alliance cannot permit a nation to stand on principles of nationalism.  Allowing a point of contrast that would showcase the weakness of globalism and multiculturalism is something the western control system just cannot permit.

As a result, Samantha Power, the U.S. State Dept (USAID) and the CIA, are collectively running an operation in Hungary, seeding the groundwork for the next color revolution.

They don’t even try to hide this stuff anymore.

Just keep watching….  More will become visible, and our conversation will now have context for what comes next.

[FWIW, I always suspected S Power of being a CIA operative]

Powerful National Address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu


Posted originally on the CTH on October 9, 2023 | Sundance 

In less than two minutes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined the nature of the barbarian enemy they face, but also dropped all pretending when he said, “Hamas is ISIS.”   For those who understand the nature of the Middle East, not the pretend version pushed by western media and intelligence within those three words, there is a depth of understanding.

Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and ISIS are all factions of the same overall core violent and militant ideology.  Each of these violent factions represents a spine in the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam).  It is a good thing to see Netanyahu drop the pretending and admit the core nature of the terrorist enemy they are facing.   This approach may put Arab nations like Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia in a tough domestic position, but it needs to be said out loud.  WATCH (2 mins)

Because, of Course – Qatar Negotiating Hostage Swap Between Israel and Hamas


Posted originally on the CTH on October 9, 2023  | Sundance

The leaders of Hamas do not live in Gaza, they live in Doha, Qatar….  So, it comes as no surprise the Qatari government, the official sponsors and finance operators of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is one subsidiary, will act as the negotiators for the release of captured Israeli hostages.

{Go Deep on Qatar}  

Of course, the Qatar negotiations will be for an exchange of Hamas prisoners in Israel, in exchange for Israeli women and children held hostage.  See how that works?

Sorry, I forgot, we are not allowed to talk of these things.  We must pretend not to know them.

DOHA/GAZA (Reuters) -Qatari mediators have held urgent calls to try to negotiate freedom for Israeli women and children seized by the militant group and held in Gaza in exchange for the release of 36 Palestinian women and children from Israel’s prisons, a source briefed on the talks told Reuters.

Qatar’s foreign ministry confirmed to Reuters its involvement in mediation talks with Hamas and Israeli officials, including over a possible prisoner swap.

The ongoing negotiations, which Qatar has been conducting in coordination with the United States since Saturday night, are “moving positively” said the source, who has been briefed on them.

“We are in constant contact with all sides at the moment. Our priorities are to end the bloodshed, release the prisoners and make sure the conflict is contained with no regional spillover,” foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari told Reuters, without elaborating.

When asked to respond to the Reuters report, an Israeli official told Reuters only: “There are no negotiations under way.”  But there are no signs of breakthroughs as both sides dig in.

Qatar has been in touch with Hamas officials in Doha and Gaza, the source said, after the Islamist group assaulted Israel from Gaza on Saturday, storming into towns, killing more than 700 Israelis, and escaping with dozens of hostages.  (read more)

Do not start getting all Captain Obvious, and asking the transparently obvious questions about why Hamas officials reside in Doha, Qatar.  That would be too uncomfy.

Notice Something About This Israeli War and The Gaza Conflict?


Posted originally on the CTH on October 9, 2023 | Sundance

The coverage of the attacks by Hamas against the Israeli people is extensive, but have you paused to notice a very peculiar dynamic?

As familiar to most news consumers, various media war correspondents are embedded throughout the Israel and Gaza region.  Flak jackets and helmets are worn by CNN, BBC, Fox News and all the international agencies who are covering the Israeli War.  All of that footage is common and familiar.

Television streams are lit up with the continuing coverage and the audience is brought in live to the fight, despite the dangers and the military combat that is taking place throughout the area.  Brave war correspondents are doing what they do, showing the public exactly what is happening on the ground as the fighting continues.

Yet, the extensive footage triggers a reminder of something….

The war in Ukraine has been raging for 20 months, and not once, not even one single time, did we see simultaneous international war correspondents delivering their reporting, showing action on the front lines, donning their protective gear and taking the audience toward the battles in a similar fashion.

The contrast between the War in Israel and the “War” in Ukraine could not be starker when viewed through the prism of what a real combat war looks like.

Why is that?

You know the answer to that question.

You might not want to absorb the truth behind this stark reality, but the war in Ukraine is an intelligence war, a creation of the U.S. State Department, CIA, and allied intelligence networks.

All of the information coming from the Ukraine War doesn’t come complete with accompanying war correspondents to give context to the statements made by the military officials on the ground in Ukraine, because there isn’t any way to connect to something that just doesn’t exist.

The “War” in Ukraine is World War Reddit.  A war carried out and advanced by the intelligence system that created it.  As the night life and dance festivals in Kiev continue, it would be challenging for the international war correspondents, the actual media, to deliver broadcast ground reports from Ukraine without using green screens and fabricated livestreams.

That’s why we have never seen them.

The Ukraine War is an intelligence operation, and with it comes the need for high control over the propaganda to support it.  It would be troublesome for those carrying out the Ukraine operation if people were brought into the “fight” by media.   Worse still, it would be very challenging to retain support for an intelligence operation, if the American and global population realized it is propaganda.

We’ve seen more footage of the war inside Israel in 48 hours than we have seen inside Ukraine in two years.

Carry on….

Hillary Clinton Says Trump Supporters Need “Formal Deprogramming”


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Oct 9, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Donald Trump received 304 electoral votes in the 2016 US Presidential Election, beating Hillary Clinton who only received 227. She harbors extreme resentment toward not only Trump but those who cast him on the ballot over her. The Democrats have repeatedly called “MAGA extremists” domestic terrorists and the largest threat to national security. Clinton has a solution — “formal deprogramming.”

Clinton told CNN that Trump has become a cult leader. The Jim Jones of our time apparently has such a strong grasp over his supporters that the only solution is reverse brainwashing. “I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things… but there wasn’t this little tail of extremism, waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today. And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. And when do they break with him?” This is gaslighting at its finest. Can anyone say they live in a better America now compared to when Trump was in office? He put America first and took a financial loss as president.

The CNN reporter laughed and agreed with Clinton. “Because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen,” Clinton stated. Needs to happen? So the majority of the country at one point supported Donald Trump, and according to Hillary, the majority of the country NEEDS formal deprogramming. What exactly does she have in mind? If Trump said Biden supporters needed to be reprogrammed it would cause an uprising.

Clinton does believe that Trump will be the 2024 nominee due to his cult leader status that has put a spell over the majority of GOP voters. “Maybe they don’t like migrants, maybe they don’t like gay people, or Black people, or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn’t get, whatever the reason,” Clinton stated. What a pathetic and utterly ignorant thing to say. “You can put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call a basket of deplorables,” Clinton said years ago at a campaign event, showed in the video above. “They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up.” No. Trump supporters want their strong economy and safe nation back.

YOU LOST AND WILL NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT. You are unlikeable, not because you are a woman, but because you are an entitled utterly corrupt career politician who believes we, the Great Unwashed, are pawns to play with.  As Trump has said, “They’re after you, I’m just in the way.”
