Again, something not feeling right about this story from The Daily Mail relay. Apparently, at some recent moment before the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack, a reporter from Russia Today was given a tour of Hamas tunnels below Gaza. According to the article, there are approximately 300 miles of the tunnels, with some reaching 200 ft below the surface.
The engineering to build tunnels at a depth of 200 ft (60 meters) below the surface is a remarkable claim (think proximity to sea level). The scale of the tunnels at 300 miles under such a small geographic region is another element that seems quite remarkable. The report, originating from Russia Today, coming on the heels of western intelligence trying to frame Russia in connection to an alignment with Hamas, puts another element into the Suspicious Cat review. The report almost seems too defensive and conveniently timed. That said, it’s not impossible, just remarkable if true.
(Via Daily Mail) – […] A Russia Today (RT) reporter was allowed a rare visit inside the so-called ‘Gaza Metro’ which snakes for up to 300 miles under the war-torn enclave.
As the clip emerged, senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk was asked by another RT interviewer why they didn’t allow the beleaguered civilian population to shelter from the bombing in the tunnels.
His reply spoke volumes: ‘Protecting Gaza civilians is the responsibility of the UN and Israel…We have built the tunnels to protect ourselves from getting targeted and killed. These are meant to protect us from the airplanes.’
The RT journalist entered the network by being lowered by an electric hoist 200ft (60m) below the ground.
[…] Hamas’s military engineers have become skilled at rigging up the concrete-lined tunnels and installing ventilation, electric lighting and telephone lines, all of which can be seen as the reporter makes his way among the terrorists.
Terrorists can also be seen running along the tunnels in the film carrying weapons and meanwhile others are digging by hand to extend the network still further. (read more)
If Hamas is indeed this dug in, (a) that means they have spent an incredible amount of time and money building this labyrinth; and (b) that would also explain the extreme dangers of this kind of warfare. Even bunker busting bombs would have difficulty with this claimed scale of depth.
Quite remarkable if true.
For that reason, in combination with the accepted psychological warfare that surrounds both the Ukraine war narrative and the Israeli war Gaza narrative, Engineering Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…
Israel has stripped Gaza of all electricity, and over 2.2 million people no longer have access to basic necessities. Elon Musk announced over the weekend that he would send Starlink connectivity to Gaza. “Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza,” Musk posted on X.
A billionaire’s net worth provides more than money can buy. Musk has the ability to intervene in international affairs on his own accord. Palestine did not ask Musk for help; he simply decided to provide it on his own. Musk provided Starlink connectivity to Ukraine after Ukrainian officials urged him to help the innocent people living there. He was celebrated in the media as a hero for powering Ukraine, but now, he is being villainized for his efforts to help the people of Palestine.
Israel is angered that their communication blackout is coming to an end. Israel’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi promised, “Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.” He continued, “HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and Musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS. Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them! By then, my office will cut any ties with Starlink.”
The United Nations and World Health Organization have said they have been unable to reach their people on the ground in Palestine. The world condemned Russia for committing a war crime, but it is ok when Israel and the West use these tactics against civilians.
Another game changer in this war is X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk is not deplatforming people who disagree with the narrative. In fact, absolutely everyone is taking to X to express their views, including members of Hamas. This is one of the last platforms for free speech without censorship. Musk is using his wealth and technology for the greater good. Time will tell if the powers that be have the power to cancel an influential tech billionaire.
Biden has been escalating tensions in the Middle East since he entered politics. In 2013, then-Vice President Biden used his favorite line: “If there were not an Israel, we would have to invent one to make sure our interests were preserved.” Now, our models noted that the beginning of the global conflict we are facing would unfold in 2014. All eyes were on Ukraine during the revolution in 2014, but the embers of war were also burning in the Middle East.
Israel and Palestine held peace talks in 2013, with the US stepping in and deciding how the borders would be redrawn. A year later in 2014, precisely on target, Israel launched an attack that culminated in the 2014 Gaza War. After Hamas murdered three Israeli teens, Israeli Defense Forces launched Operation Brother’s Keeper. The conflict between Israel and Palestine lasted seven weeks as both sides launched rockets to and from the Gaza Strip. Both sides claimed victory — Israel believed that they successfully achieved revenge, while Hamas claimed they held off Israeli forces.
Simultaneously, the Obama Administration was heavily sanctioning Iran. “America’s support for Israel’s security is unshakable, period,” Biden said in 2013. America wanted to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and threatening their stronghold in the Middle East. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of performing a “charm offensive” on the West. “We have seen nothing from Netanyahu but lies and actions to deceive and scare, and international public opinion will not let these lies go unanswered,” Zarif said in an interview. “For 22 years, the Zionist regime has been lying by repeating endlessly that Iran will have the atomic bomb in six months,” Zarif said. “The world must understand the reality of these lies and not allow them to be repeated.”
Then, the Iranian deal in 2016 ensured that Iran would never have a nuclear weapons program. Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018 as Iran did not hold up its agreement. Trump placed sanctions on Iranian banking and oil, and claimed that the initial deal did not address Iran’s ballistic missile program. Iran has been attempting to build up its nuclear powers in recent years, leading to the assassination of its top nuclear scientist.
Israel is the West’s ticket to nuclear and military power in the Middle East. Peace talks have repeatedly failed as the West will only permit their interests to prevail. Hamas has been attempting to destroy Israel since the group came into existence and does not want peace. The neocons and those profiting big on the military-industrial complex do not want peace. Just as you cannot alter the business cycle, you cannot alter the war cycle that has been churning precisely on target.
It’s not the ground invasion; it’s a larger tactical strike operation with pauses to gain overhead intel. Without any doubt, the targeting and ordinance is from the command and control of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), but the aerial feeds (in review) are likely U.S. DoD support flowing directly back to the IDF.
Israel appears to be ramping up the direct targeting of Hamas operations in Gaza. Unfortunately, Hamas has the mechanics of their terror machine enmeshed with the civilian population centers and key infrastructure. This allows Hamas to conduct Pallywood propaganda operations in the aftermath. Culturally, the Palestinian people live amid a social value system that rewards victimhood – the more dramatic, the more useful.
(Via Daily Mail) – Israeli warplanes have tonight unleashed airstrikes of ‘unprecedented’ intensity across all parts of the Gaza strip, as it announced it was ‘expanding’ its ground forces’ operations.
The aerial onslaught came with a warning from the IDF to Palestinian civilians still living in Gaza to move south as soon as possible, amid fears that the long-awaited ground invasion of the enclave may take place within hours.
The bombing, which observers described as much more ferocious and louder than previous days, coincided with electricity and communications blackouts in much of the besieged enclave.
According to one report the Israelis even unleashed ‘bunker buster’ concussion missiles to try and destroy the extensive Hamas tunnel network under Gaza.
IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari telling reporters at a press conference today: ‘In recent hours we have increased the attacks in Gaza.
‘The air force widely attacks underground targets and terrorist infrastructure, very significantly.
‘In continuation of the offensive activity we carried out in the last few days, the ground forces are expanding the ground activity this evening.’ (read more)
The Israeli war against Hamas is likely to be a long duration event, encompassing several months. The network of tunnels that Hamas has developed under the Gaza strip will have to be targeted methodically in order to try and minimize “civilian” casualties. However, the tunnels are located in places for maximum “human shielding” such as the Shifa Hospital – example above.
We end up watching something akin to a catch-22. Israel can only take this methodical approach, lasting several months, because the U.S. presence is deterring other foreign actors from getting involved. Without the U.S. military presence, the slow and deliberate process of trying to avoid civilian casualties would have to be a lot faster and likely create more collateral damage.
Last point, as we watch the international news feeds of ground reporting on the Israeli War, I again note there was nothing even remotely similar to this type of 24/7 footage from Ukraine. It is a striking contrast to pause and consider the difference between the two conflicts as represented by real time media footage.
QUESTION: Socrates appears to have picked the Hamas Attack. There was a double Directional change on the currency for the week of October 2nd and then two more directional changes for the following two weeks. There are rumors that people knew it was coming and were buying Northrop Gruman shares the week before. Am I reading correctly that Socrates picked this up in advance because people were positioning themselves in advance?
SF
ANSWER: This is how Socrates has been forecasting such events. As I have said many times at conferences, I began to understand this back in the 1980s. Those who know of such events start to move the money in advance. Socrates picked up a Double Direction Change the week of September 11th. The previous week was the lowest weekly closing on Northrop Gruman. The main turning point was the week of October 2nd. This showed up in the currency as well, confirming that the target zone was Israel. The same was true looking around at the surrounding economies.
We will address this complex tope at the WEC Nov 17-19th.

Jordan is a country of approximately 11 million people. Within the Jordanian population there are approximately 2.2 million Palestinian refugees; roughly 20% of the population of Jordan are Palestinian.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II gave an impassioned speech during the past weekend’s Cairo Peace Summit, assembled to quickly address the attack from Hamas terrorists and the subsequent Israeli war counteroffensive. “It’s been two weeks since Israel put in place the complete siege of the Gaza Strip. And still, for the most part, global silence. Yet the message the Arab world is hearing is loud and clear: Palestinian lives matter less than Israeli ones. Our lives matter less than other lives.”
This is the speech mentioned by Col Douglas Macgregor in the previous discussion with Tucker Carlson. Abdullah’s remarks are about 7 minutes long and very critical of Israel – WATCH:

If you drop the pretending, it becomes crystal clear to see the hostages are being used as leverage to stop a counteroffensive by the Israeli military. The Obama/Biden administration alignment with Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), permeates the media narrative with calls to negotiate terms for peace and hostage release.
As we expected, Benjamin Netanyahu is being painted into a corner by the Biden administration who are using the U.S. military presence as a shield to force Israel to follow the approved program of the U.S. government. Biden, et al, want to protect Hamas while simultaneously calling residents of Gaza “victims” to the interests of Hamas and the PIJ.
With 200+ hostages held by Hamas, and up to another 50 held by PIJ, the slow drip of successful hostage release negotiations becomes the justification to stopping the Israeli War counteroffensive.
The two hostages released, Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, and Nurit Cooper, 79, were taken out of Gaza at the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where they were put into ambulances. However, their elderly husbands were kept behind. The two women, along with their husbands, were snatched from their homes in the kibbutz of Nir Oz near the Gaza border during Hamas’ Oct. 7 rampage into southern Israeli communities.
WASHINGTON – […] Israel is widely expected to launch a ground offensive in Gaza, vowing to destroy Hamas. Iranian-backed fighters around the region are warning of possible escalation if that happens, including targeting U.S. forces deployed in the Mideast.
The U.S. has told Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon and other groups not to join the fight. Israel and Hezbollah have traded fire almost daily across the Israel-Lebanon border, and Israeli warplanes have struck targets in the occupied West Bank, Syria and Lebanon in recent days.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there had been an uptick in rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed militias on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria, and the U.S. was “deeply concerned about the possibility for any significant escalation” in attacks in coming days.
He said U.S. officials were having “active conversations” with Israeli counterparts about the potential ramifications of escalated military action.
The U.S. advised Israeli officials that delaying a ground offensive would give Washington more time to work with regional mediators on securing the release of more hostages, according to a U.S. official.
Israeli tanks and ground forces have been massed at the Gaza border, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops there Monday to keep preparing for an offensive “because it will come.” He said it will be a combined offensive from air, land and sea but did not give a timeframe. (read more)

Always remember, CNN = U.S. State Dept position.
CNN is reporting the Obama/Biden administration are seeking to delay the Israeli counteroffensive into Gaza in order to gain more time for hostage negotiations. Israel denies feeling pressure, yet something is holding them back; make of that what you will. However, the delay itself tracks accurately with the predictable intent of the ideologues behind the hidden agenda of the administration.
CNN – The Biden administration has pressed Israel to delay its imminent invasion of Gaza to allow for the release of more hostages held by Hamas and for aid to reach Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the discussions.
The release of two Americans held by Hamas Friday signaled that more of roughly 200 people believed to be kidnapped by the militant group may be freed after they were taken during the group’s deadly attacks launched against Israel two week ago.
“The [administration] pressed Israeli leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front,” and the need to get trucks of aid into Gaza, one person familiar with the discussions said. The NSC did not immediately respond for comment.
Qatar, acting as a middle-man for the US and Israel, has been leading the discussions with Hamas about releasing the hostages since they were abducted by the militant group. According to a diplomat briefed on the talks, the negotiations have included talks about getting much-needed aid into Gaza and the need for a temporary ceasefire to get the prisoners out. Israel has not indicated they are considering a ceasefire. (read more)
As earlier reported, “US president Joe Biden, when asked by a reporter on Friday whether Israel should delay a potential ground invasion of Gaza until more hostages can get out, said “Yes.” The administration later tried to walk back that statement. Additionally, Bloomberg has also reported on the intent of the Biden administration to delay any ground war directly into Gaza until the hostages could be released {link}.
♦ Non-Pretending Predictability. Hamas, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Biden administration are all working together. This is a geopolitical dynamic of merged interests aligned in common cause against the nation state of Israel. The transparency of a slow-drip hostage release, and the Western media spotlight upon it is predictable.
Everything is being done to stall, impede, slow down and interfere in the Israeli War against Hamas. Within this dynamic, the Brotherhood, Qatar, Hamas and the White House have the same objective. Trust me; Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia can see it very clearly.
First, a reminder of the baseline.
Obama/Biden et al, want a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians. I believe all efforts are underway to exploit the 10/7/23 terrorist attack to advance that agenda. Netanyahu is being carefully painted into a position where the survival of Israel will be contingent upon accepting this two-state solution, which essentially means -in the long picture- the elimination of the Israeli state.
Biden will give the outward face of complete support toward Israel; however, the background work will be to protect Gaza, and thereby Hamas, and controllably expand -if needed- the regional conflict, such that a two-state solution becomes the only viable option for the survival of Israel. Efforts by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension Iran, will appear to be confronted by Biden, but only insofar as the need for USA military support becomes more important and that dependency paints Netanyahu into a corner.
The nation of Qatar is the financial support system for the Muslim Brotherhood – the political umbrella of extremist (authentic) Islam. The Brotherhood supports Hamas, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, the Islamic State and all the terrorist affiliates therein. The Brotherhood leadership live in Turkey, under the protection of Recep Erdogan – who wants to recreate the Ottoman Empire. The Hamas leadership live in Qatar, under the protection of Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani. Joe Biden supports the efforts of Erdogan and Thani.
Now, does the 2022 memo pictured left make more sense?
Each of the aforementioned actors, including Obama/Biden and all the U.S. operatives from the State Dept therein, view Israel as the provocateur in the dynamic. The pro-Palestinian progressive movement within the Democrat Party is visibly part of this dynamic. Thus, the alignment of common interests can be expanded to include, leftists, Democrats, Palestinians, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Biden Administration and Qatar. The common enemy, Israel.
Once you understand this dynamic, then you are able to see what happens in the background and how it aligns with the interests of the group.
Blunting any effort by the Israelis in the war against Hamas becomes a matter of taking steps that make it more difficult for the international community to support the Israeli side of the war against Hamas. The release of the two American hostages is part of this PR effort.
If hostages can be released/saved, shouldn’t all ‘good faith’ diplomatic efforts to secure the release of the 250 be exhausted before supporting Israels retaliation? See how that works?
That approach dilutes the righteous effort of Israel and starts to put a larger coalition against retaliation into place. Obama/Biden began this dilution process by warning Israel not to be emotionally focused on vengeance during his remarks a few days ago. The same was repeated during his national address.
Jordan’s King Abdullah, Egypt’s President Sisi and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman have all been around the block with U.S. hidden agendas. They can see this play just as clearly as I am outlining it to you now. It is a dangerous game Obama/Biden, Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood are playing. Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia want no part of it.

Today, Hamas says it has 200 hostages, and that 50 more are held by other armed terror groups in Gaza {link}. Keep in mind, the motives of all the participating actors to twist the truth. If the Hamas claim is accepted, and considering how these groups operate, the 50 held by “others” are better off dead.
That said, today two of the USA hostages held by Hamas were released. I’ll get into the predictability, the non-pretending version, of this play after the media outline of the release. The White House also took a victory lap {SEE HERE}.
(CBS) – Two U.S. hostages, a mother and a daughter, have been released by Hamas, officials announced Friday. The freed hostages were identified as Judith Tai Raanan and Natalie Shoshana Raanan, according to a spokesperson for the Israeli prime minister’s office.
Additional details about the release weren’t immediately available. The pair are with the Red Cross, “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan reported. A message posted to a Hamas-affiliated Telegram channel said the release was made for “humanitarian reasons.” (read more)

From the perspective of the pragmatic three amigos (Abdullah, Sisi and Salman), it doesn’t matter how much talking is done before Israel moves in to kill Hamas, eventually the killing of Hamas is going to begin. The three amigos see it from the clear-eyed perspective carried by Israel; even if the hostages are released, Hamas must still be killed. Within that killing, lots of Hamas supporting Palestinians, none of which are innocent, must also be killed.
