Politics and Arrogance — Understanding Israel’s October 7 Intelligence Failure
27 November 2023 by Larry Johnson

*** begin quote ***

I think this rings true. It is the worst of “intelligence failures” because the analysts accurately and correctly reported the warning signs and their analysis was ignored. The reaction of the “high-ranking intelligence official” who dismissed the reports and analysis as an “imaginary scenario” is not out of character for Senior Israeli intelligence personnel. Arrogance and hubris is their M. O.

*** end quote ***

Like the USA had with 9/11 when pilot trainees who were not interested in take offs and landings?  Or “intelligence failures”, not to secure out legal visas?  Nevermind that the Southern Border is open for all manner of criminals and potential terrorists to invade.

Argh!

This is the shocking moment a pedestrian was robbed at a Chicago intersection by a rifle-wielding gang.

The incident took place on September 23, but surveillance video of the scene was just revealed on Wednesday after the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communication refused to release it.

As the woman made her way across the six-way intersection at 4.45am, a silver sedan pulled up as one suspect pointed the gun at her and the others shook her down.

Remember “gun control” in Blue run cities?

“God made men and women; Sam Colt made them equal.” — Unknown

If the woman was allowed to carry, then maybe there would be a lot less crime.

Argh!

ConspiracyTheories: skepticism… about certain government claims and conduct

In Praise of Conspiracy Theorists

Brian Maher –November 22, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Due to professional obligations we take aboard an overplus of daily “information.”

Some of it — perhaps more than some of it — sorts into the “conspiratorial” category.

For example: the theory that space lasers set Maui on fire.

For example: the theory that the Rothschilds ordered Kennedy shot dead.

For example: the theory that the Twin Towers were knocked down not by shanghaied airplanes but by pre-planted explosives.

Examples multiply and multiply.

Some have even accused this very publication — if you can believe it — of merchanting conspiracy theories.

These accusations have their origins in the pandemic.

We had expressed… skepticism… about certain government claims and conduct.

These concerned lockdowns, vaccines and the near-absolute suppression of unofficial information.

Thus the “conspiracy theorist” label came issuing.

Were we mistaken? Were we merely shouting wolf?

Or have subsequent discoveries validated our doubting Thomas skepticisms?

We leave that decision to you… our reader.

Seems like the bottom line.

GUNS: Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries

Israel and Gun Control
By Jessica Geraghty

*** begin quote ***

Israel’s gun-control policies are much stricter than those of other countries typically known to be anti-gun, including Australia and England, says Stern.He believes that recent media narratives paint an all-too-forgiving picture of the willingness of Israeli leaders to arm and protect their citizens.

Jessica Geraghty is an established freelance writer and blogger who has over 15 years of experience writing for businesses, political candidates and news publications. Most recently, topics she has written about include human resources, informed consent, the Second Amendment and real estate.

*** end quote ***

So, all the pictures of gun toting Israeli’s is “bull <synonym for excrement>”!

No wonder the October 7th attack by Hamas was so successful. The people were like lambs to be slaughtered.

It’s a well known meme about Germans were disarmed and then you got the Holocaust.  A lesson that has been repeated several times in history. 

So when do “We, The Sheeple” wake up?

The remains of a soldier killed during World War II at age 27 were identified by military scientists after nearly 79 years.

On Wednesday, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced that it had identified the remains of U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Gene F. Walker of Richmond, Indiana, and that he “was accounted for” in July of this year. 

*** and ***

A 1944 obituary, cited by WTHR, noted at the time that Walker was survived by his wife and a daughter whom he never met. 

*** end quote ***

So sad and a reminder of the cost of war in the lives of men, widows, and children.
