Israel & Hamas & World War III


Armstomg Economics Blog/Israel Re-Posted Oct 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Hamas’s attack was deliberately orchestrated to create an open war. I say that because of the taking of hostages, knowing that this will simply escalate the crisis. The ongoing hostage situation presents a unique crisis, for included within those hostages are also Americans. Taking about 150 living hostages presents a crisis that can engulf the entire region. This is not simply a retaliation against Hamas. They have said for every attack, they will kill one hostage.

The question also brings into play Hezbollah. Will they open up a northern front to the war? If Israeli troops enter Gaza, Hezbollah’s response to a massive Israeli ground operation would most likely pull them in as well. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said: “No power, no food, no gas.” “We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.”  Defense officials have ordered a “complete siege” of Gaza in response to this attack, which was the deadliest day in Israeli history.

Israel has bombarded the densely populated enclave in retaliation, killing at least 920 people. On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces announced that the border with Gaza was secured and that it was preparing for an offensive.

There is no doubt that this was planned. Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad visited China for the first time in nearly 20 years. Beijing seeks to deepen its influence in the Middle East. Interestingly, according to Chinese media, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife left their three children in China when they returned to Syria after attending the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. In addition, Egyptian intelligence officials said that Jerusalem had ignored repeated warnings that the Gaza-based terror group was planning “something big.” They claim to have directly warned the prime minister. Egypt has often served as a mediator between Israel and Hamas. This only further validates that this was allowed to occur just like 9/11.

The Neocons seek to use the Middle East as a second front against Russia. They are really in control of the White House. The standard position of the United States has emphasized the importance of Israeli security. Looking at Biden’s prepared statement drafted by the Neocons, there was no mention of restraint whatsoever. With Americans included in the hostages, the Neocons are celebrating as usual. I’m sure Blinken and Victoria Nuland were popping the champagne. A plane carrying U.S. weapons landed in Israel ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is eager to get World War III going.

The Biden Administration will be dragged in since the Neocons are in full control. Most politicians want to blindly support Israel, while a small minority want them to impose accountability and costs. The Neocons want no accountability whatsoever. My sources confirm that the weapons used by Hamas were mostly American, which came from what Biden left behind in Afghanistan.

Our computer, which has been truly amazing in its geopolitical forecasts, clearly shows that we were entering war beginning in 2014 into particularly 2027 – a 13-year period of escalating civil unrest as well as international war. The light at the end of the tunnel is that these psychopaths will lose at the end of the day. Their grand plans for a Great Reset that will eliminate any Democratic movement and usher in totalitarianism will fail. The light at the end of the tunnel is that WE GET to recreate government, and this time, let us learn from all the mistakes in human history. This is our great opportunity post-2032. Let’s roll up our sleeves and create a new world to leave behind.

FBI Says No Credible Threats in U.S. – Meanwhile, NYPD Puts Police Resources on Patrol of Jewish Schools and Synagogues


Posted originally on the CTH on October 12, 2023 | Sundance 

NBC frames the FBI downplaying statement to suggest that MAGA extremists are stoking fears of militant Islamic attacks [SEE HERE].  Meanwhile the New York Police Dept and various other city law enforcement agencies around the country have been put on alert.   In summary, this is the political state of our FBI.

The FBI says there’s no reason to believe a threat exists; meanwhile regional police prepare in case a threat is triggered.   Which approach would you prefer?

IGNORE THE THREAT – (NBC) –  The FBI said this week it had no information indicating a credible terrorist threat against the United States, but social media pundits who have been raising the alarm for days aren’t backing down. 

Conservative social media influencers have been filling platforms such as X and Truth Social with speculation not backed by any evidence that attacks on civilians in Israel would soon be followed by similar attacks in major U.S. cities and that people should begin preparing — including by avoiding cities and purchasing firearms. (read more)

PREPARE FOR THE THREAT – (NY Post) – The NYPD will be out in full force Friday in anticipation of possible mayhem stemming from the global “day of Jihad” called for by Hamas’ ex-chief — which has left religious centers on edge and some Jewish parents scared to bring their kids to school.

During a meeting with Jewish community leaders Thursday, Deputy Commissioner of the NYPD Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau, Rebecca Weiner, stressed that police were bolstering their presence out of “an abundance of caution” and that there were no credible or specific threats to the city.

“This is to deter anyone who would seek to do us harm in this city,” Weiner said, “We still are not seeing any threat reporting suggesting violence in New York City.”

“We are obviously aware that that can change at any moment.”  Police advised religious centers to limit access to buildings, ensure doors are locked at all times, double check their security cameras and alarms are working properly, conduct perimeter sweeps, and screen any mail and packages. (read more)

WASHINGTON DC – […] A Capitol Police spokesperson said the department conducted several briefings Thursday about their increased security posture. The Hill’s police force said separately Thursday that it was “enhancing” security around the Capitol complex as Hamas warned of a “day of action” on Friday. Although the Capitol Police said there weren’t specific threats towards Congress, they were acting out of an abundance of caution. (read more)

I’m sorry, but when the FBI says there’s no cause for concern, there’s usually cause for concern.

Idiots!

Founding Member of Hamas Calls for Global Rage and Jihad to Begin Friday the 13th


Posted originally on the CTH on October 11, 2023 | Sundance

Many people dismiss this as the insane ravings of a known jihadi terrorist. However, what many people forget, or fail to recognize, is the scale of indoctrination amid the extreme ideologues who believe in the ultimate cause of jihad against Israel and the West.

You have seen the pro Hamas celebrations in London, Sydney, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Dearborn and Washington DC, following the slaughter of the Jews in Israel and the murder, rape and beheading of thousands of innocent men, women, girls, boys, children and babies on October 7th.

What kind of mindset takes to the streets in celebration of mass slaughter and terrorism?   Think about it.  Think about it carefully.  Within walking distance to your home is a faction of militant extremism aligned in common purpose.  Within the 7.5 million illegal alien encounters in the past three years, and 5.18 million of them as adult males, now, go back and tell me about the “insane ravings” of the founder of Hamas.

Khalid Mashal the leader and founding member of Hamas gave a speech today asking Muslims all around the world to do the following:

1. To show anger, especially next Friday, in Muslim countries and Also among Muslim diaspora around the world; he called it “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood”, he said this will send a message of rage to Zionists and to America

2. He asked for financial help from all Muslims around the world; to help with their money, he called it “Financial Jihad”. He asked Muslims to give to the fighters of Gaza in order to compensate them for the destruction.

3. He asked political pressure, from Muslim leaders and Muslim nations, to stop Israel’s military invasion of Gaza

4. The most important thing: He asked all Muslims around the world to carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa. He wants Muslims to fight against the Jews, starting with Muslims who live in the countries surrounding Israel: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt (but also other countries), to go to the borders and try to enter, each by his own means.

He said: This is the time for Jihad to be applied on the ground rather than just in theory.

He asked the Mujahedeen to go in long caravans to spell their blood on the land of Palestine.  

These are his final words: Funds are important but today we are asking for your blood and souls [to be sacrificed for Palestine] (link)

Add to the number of direct Islamist jihadists, the support networks and foot soldiers from extreme leftists and groups like Black Lives Matter.

Better to be prepared, than not.

The House Ways and Means Committee held a press conference after a vote to release information from an IRS whistleblower that showed the U.S. Justice Department involved in an effort to protect Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, from outcomes related to his illegal money laundering operation.

According to the accusations, the money laundering was done in an effort to hide Hunter and Joe Biden selling influence and accepting payments from foreign government sources.  The allegations include, the Dept of Justice and FBI led by AG Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, interfered in the investigation in order to protect the Biden administration.  WATCH:

“Today, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public the testimony of IRS employees blowing the whistle on misconduct at the IRS and the Biden Department of Justice regarding unequal enforcement of tax law, interference and government abuse in the handling of investigations into criminal activity by President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and retaliation against IRS employees blowing the whistle on this abuse.”

Biden’s Gifts Continue to Flow to Hamas


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The $6 billion in aid to Iran provided on the 22nd anniversary of 9/11 was not enough for Joe Biden. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that Hamas is now using the weapons left behind amid the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. The Pentagon has even admitted that $7 billion in military equipment went directly into the hands of the Taliban. Were the weapons deliberately left behind?

This would not be the first time that America has provided its enemies with weapons AND training. The vocal minority who still support Joe Biden claimed he wanted to end the never-ending war in the Middle East. No one understood why the US suddenly pulled out of Afghanistan. Watch the ominous video below. Biden has always been a Neocon. In 2007, a fully mentally competent Joe Biden said he would pull out of Afghanistan as POTUS. “And you leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind I promise they’re going to be used against your grandchild and mine some day,” the Big Guy said while invading a woman’s personal space.

“[T]here is a risk these weapons could be captured if territory changes hands, as can happen in any war,” the Pentagon said regarding aid to Ukraine. The Pentagon routinely “misplaces” military equipment and money totaling trillions of dollars. WAKE UP PEOPLE – the Neocons are funding both sides of the war to burn it down and BUILD BACK BETTER!

Nikki Haley Urges Genocide


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Nikki Haley wants to outdo Mike Pence when it comes to being the leading Neocon running for the Republican presidential nominee. Her proposed solution to the current war is an all-out genocide. “I say this to Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them. Hamas did this. You know Iran is behind it. Finish them,” she proudly shouted at the TV.

Haley is strongly in favor of supporting Ukraine and Israel. She believes, or wants you to believe, that Russia and Hamas both personally attacked America. “This should be personal for every woman and man in America,” Haley urged, later adding, ““They were saying ‘Death to Israel,’ ‘Death to America.’ This is not just an attack on Israel. This is an attack on America.” Instead of offering any diplomatic advice, Haley wants Israel (and therefore the West) to wage war upon Iran. Palestine is merely cannon fodder for Iran in the same way that Ukraine is for Russia. The Neocons are looking to go after the nuclear powers.

Does anyone realize what would happen if America declared war on Iran? Apparently not, because her political peers are cheering her on, brainstorming new ways to wipe out Iran and Palestine (and Russia and China). Lindsey Graham is asking the White House to fly the Israeli flag to show solidarity. Graham wants to wipe out Iran’s infrastructure and bomb their oil fields since that has worked so well in the past. Iran has friends in high places, and we can not take them on all at once. Haley is so hell-bent on finding a way to profit on the military-industrial complex that she officially brought China into the conversation! “Russia, China, and Iran are joined at the hip. All three of them,” she said, urging the US not to lift sanctions. She should be on the frontlines since she’s so passionate about war.

A Chinese journalist asked Haley what she meant by “finish them” and accused her of “escalating tensions” and “inciting more killings.” In true Neocon fashion, Haley decided to offend America’s top trading partner who also has an extensive nuclear weapons program. No surprise, the Communist China propaganda machine is siding with the Hamas terrorists,” she wrote on X. “It’s a badge of honor to be criticized by these people.”

This war will not be limited to the Middle East. There has never been a nuclear war before and the Neocons are provoking people backed into a corner with nothing to lose. They do not care how many people die because their pockets grow fatter with every drop of blood spilled.

European Commission Warns Elon Musk about Israel -v- Hamas Information that Runs Afoul of The EU Digital Services Act

European Commission Warns Elon Musk about Israel -v- Hamas Information that Runs Afoul of The EU Digital Services Act

October 10, 2023 | Sundance | 28 Comments

While the hubris is a little stark, it’s worth contemplating that Facebook, META, Insta, Google, etc are likely involved in current behind-the-scenes activity that will keep compliance with the EU dictates.

The Dis, Mis, and Mal, information police are likely in full deployment. Not only in the EU and Canada, but also to a quieter extent in the U.S. systems.

Funny, how they are not worried about Ukraine misinformation. However, Israel -vs- Hamas misinformation… bad mojo.

USS Ford Carrier Strike Group Arrives in Eastern Mediterranean

The Biden administration has one goal in relation to supporting Israel, keep Hezbollah from entering the conflict.

Hamas has small rockets and inbred jihadi terrorists.  Hezbollah has precision missiles built up over time, more money, sophisticated targeting systems and a more disciplined approach.  Israel can enter Gaza and begin operations; it will not be easy at all, but it is possible.  However, if Hezbollah launches from the North, the U.S. will need to intervene on behalf of Israel.

That is the reason we keep seeing these statements:

[CentCom Source Link]

Hezbollah will not engage Israel without direct approval from Tehran, Iran.  Currently Iran views the Biden administration as a useful ally.

From the perspective of Iran, they have an interesting decision.  Keep the happy geopolitical leverage they have with the Biden administration or put the Biden administration into a corner by activating their Hezbollah terrorists.

I don’t think Iran will approve Hezbollah for two reasons. First, because they will want to maintain the Joe Biden team’s usefulness for them.  Second, I doubt even Hezbollah realized how much success Hamas would have in the 10/7 attack.

INDEPENDENT – As the Israeli army mounted its response to the massacre of hundreds of civilians by Hamas this weekend, it sent tanks and troops not only to the scene of the atrocities, but to its northern border with Lebanon.

It was a recognition, borne from experience, that an all-out offensive against Gaza is unlikely to be contained there. To Israel’s north lies a much more formidable foe, and ally of Hamas, the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah.

Recent skirmishes on the border have heightened the possibility that Hezbollah could enter the fray and widen the conflict beyond Israel’s borders. The group is significantly better equipped than Hamas, with an arsenal of tens of thousands of sophisticated rockets, according to Michael Knights, a fellow at the Washington Institute and expert on Iran-backed militias.

“Israel says the Hamas attack involved about 1,500 commandos entering Israel: Israel has assessed that Hezbollah has a 45,000-strong regular army,” he told The Independent. “Hamas fired about 3,300 missiles and drones so far: Hezbollah has around 150,000 munitions ready to fire.” (read more)

While the fighting has left Kfar Aza, fighting between Israel and Hamas can still be heard from its streets. The sound of artillery and rocket fire can also be heard in the background.

Israel has amassed tanks and forces near the Gaza border as a ground invasion is expected. Israel continues to launch major airstrikes on Gaza.

Black Lives Matter Announces Support for Palestinian Hamas

Yes, there are massive geopolitical interests at stake in the Hamas attack against Israel. Yes, there are layers and layers of massive multinational corporate investments into the process of energy control, capture and change that is driven by competing interests. Yes, those trillions at stake are playing out in the world from Iran to Israel, to Ukraine, to Russia, to Azerbaijan, to Turkey, to Africa, and beyond. {Go Deep}

Yes, all of the political and state actors are playing a role and using their military resources as part of the positioning process. China, Russia, Iran, The United States, Europe, NATO, etc, all positioning and in the background trillions upon trillions being discussed and fought for. Yes, the ultimate high stakes public-private partnerships are leveraging everything right now…..

… But trust me, RIGHT NOW, that’s not where our immediate focus should be!

We need to narrow our viewpoints to a very specific field of vectors, protecting your family.

As all of this geopolitical crisis is playing out on the global stage, there are domestic interests who are in alignment with the global crisis. Their focus is the fundamental change and the upheaval of the globe in conflict as a gateway for those interests to advance. Right here, at home, literally coming to your neighborhood, is where your focus should be, because in the final analysis it is all connected.

Do not look so easily at the global horizon that you cannot see the crisis unfolding on our doorstep.

This BLM group blocks me on every platform, because they know my library of their activity and network is against their interests.

We have watched, tracked and monitored the BLM network for years.  This statement today is not a surprise:

The ideological interests behind the 2010/ ’11 “Arab Spring” uprising were the same ideological interests behind the 2020 “Black Lives Matter” protests/uprising.  Not merely similar people, but the exact same people.

The exact same group of U.S. people who were promoting the Mid-East Arab Spring in 2010/’11, are the same people who promoted the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.   The same politicians, the same media voices, the same newspapers, the same social media activists. Almost every participant, and their support for the uprising ’10 -vs- ’20 was identical, including the platforms deployed.

In the background of the Arab Spring, the root control organization was The Muslim Brotherhood.  Considering all of the connective similarities and considering the U.S. advocates for the brotherhood were the same voices advocating for BLM, the BLM movement as an extension of the same overarching ideology becomes clear.

It is not an esoteric intellectual exercise to compare the two movements, because we were not only talking about a similar level of protest, but we also saw an identical set of actions in both groups.  Not only were the advocates the same voices, but the behavior, also to remove and destroy common cultural connection/heritage, was the same.

The Brotherhood is essentially the umbrella organization for a multitude of Islamic factions.  In essence, the Muslim Brotherhood represents political Islam. Similarly, if you look at the structure of Black Lives Matter, they too represent an umbrella-type structure for a network of individual political grievance groups.

Both groups, the Muslim Brotherhood (aka Hamas) and Black Lives Matter, represent a cultural revolution by the results of their activity.

In this next section, I am going to show the alignment between Black Lives Matter and the Brotherhood.  It is not accidental that BLM supports the Palestinian terrorist network represented by Hamas.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood had al-Qaeda and militant factions within ISIS.  In 2020, BLM had the New Black Panthers and militant factions within Antifa.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood tore down statues and symbols they identified as culturally oppressive to their political views.  In 2020, BLM tore down statues and symbols they identified as oppressive to their political views.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood burned books, destroyed history and removed their cultural opposition by force.  In 2020, BLM promoted burning books, destroying history and cancelling their cultural opposition by force.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood used social media to organize their political activity, and Big Tech facilitated by setting up local networks for protest.  In 2020, BLM used social media to organize their political media, and Big Tech facilitated by deploying all local networks to assist.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood attacked the police and framed their Islamist movement as oppressed by law enforcement.  In 2020, BLM attacked the police and framed their movement as oppressed by law enforcement.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood destroyed the notions of secularism and viciously attacked any form of Christianity, including burning churches. In 2020, BLM advocated against secularism and viciously attacked Christianity – including the burning of churches, while conspicuously never criticizing any element of Islam.

♦ In 2010, the Brotherhood was very strategic, as they hoodwinked moderate Islamic supporters into voting them into power.  Once in power, they removed all of the institutional systems, government offices, judges, constitutional balances, local elections, and anything that would impede their ultimate stranglehold on power.  Sharia Law replaced common legislative law.   As a result, the ordinary population was brutalized, property was taken by force; businesses were taken by force and the Islamic regime now controlled every element of their lives.

In 2020, the approach of the BLM movement appeared very strategic, as they also hoodwinked a multitude of supporters, voters and even corporations, by defining their victim class and role.  Donations to the BLM group funded Joe Biden.  Much like the 2010 Brotherhood approach, grievances were made personal.   Bonds between families and friends are severed by force and demands to adhere to the movement’s ideology.  Now look at the severity of what policies are being advanced.

♦ In 2010, despite the visibility of the radical elements of Islam, Egyptian candidate Mohammed Morsi ran on a platform for change as a moderate.  He was supported by Obama, Clinton and the social media messaging deployed by the U.S. government.  Once he achieved victory, Morsi governed as a hardline leftist.

In 2020, despite the visibility of the radical leftists (BLM, Antifa), U.S. candidate Joe Biden ran on a platform for change as a moderate.  He was supported by Obama, James Clyburn and the social media messaging deployed by the U.S. government.  Once he achieved victory, the people behind Biden governed as hardline leftists.

These strategic political similarities are not coincidental.

The Obama/Biden network and the BLM network are in sync.  Both networks support the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and the Palestinian position in the Middle East.  This is why they moved the $6 billion to Qatar.  This is also why those same aligned voices want the U.S. border wide open to infiltration.

The people controlling Joe Biden admit at least 11 American citizens have been confirmed to have been killed in Israel. It is “likely” that American citizens may be among those being held hostage by Hamas, and the Biden administration is working with Israeli officials on “every aspect of the hostage crisis.”

The White House also notes that there are multiple American citizens whose whereabouts remain unaccounted for.

Joe Biden is expected to address the issues and read the statements prepared for him shortly. Livestream Links Below:
