The More Things Change

From the point of view of anyone with a brain in their noggin it seemed impossible that Israel's national security was completely unaware that Hamas was planning a massive attack on their country. The more cynical felt that Netanyahu allowed the attack to occur in order to invade Gaza and drive the Palestinians out.

Now, lo and behold, new reporting reveals that:

1. Netanyahu was indeed warned over a week in advance of the attack by both the UAE President and Egyptian Intelligence.

2. Hamas was willing to return all hostages on the day of the attack.

3. The IDF was set free to attack and kill the civilian population of Gaza at will.

4. In August of 2001 President George Bush was told by U.S. Intelligence that bin Laden was planning an attack on the U.S. Bush's response was "Okay, you've covered your ass" and then went on vacation. Now how did THAT get in there?

Out of pure coincidence, Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is heading the $70 billion-dollar planned luxury rebuild of Gaza.

And a final piece of this puzzle: According to the Carnegie Endowment, Gaza is estimated to be sitting on 1.7 billion gallons of oil and 122 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Yes, gas and oil. Same old fucking story.

9-11 again, eh?

Instead of blowing a gasket, as I am wont to do every year on this occasion, attempting to make my fellow Americans understand what a huge con the Bush administration and the major oil companies and the Israeli Mossad pulled on this country on 9-11, 2001, I'm quietly reminiscing about the simple days of yore in which whenever a president wanted to start a forever oil war he simply allowed his oil cronies to develop and run an elaborate false flag event.

Trump ruined all the beauty of our new Iranian quagmire by putting Pete Hegseth in charge of the U.S. military and saying "Sic 'em!" and then taking a nap.

See you next year.
