Despite their public persona as close allies whose interests are divinely intertwined Israel and the US sleep on separate beds on almost every issue with global significance. The US and Israel are on opposite sides of the pull regarding the Middle East’s geopolitics. One’s interests lie in stability the other in destabilization. As the sole global superpower, the US loses in any scenario in which the current configuration of the region is titled in any direction, and therefore does its best to avoid any such scenario.
It sometimes takes smart, calculated, give and take steps to keep its subordinates in the region happy.
These efforts include having complex negotiations with different state and non-state actors, making compromises with them, giving incentives, and providing financial and diplomatic support in return for recognizing its indispensable influence in the region and the world in general. All of this bought her over the years the reputation that the United States –despite being a pain in the ass– is a rational generous global force with no substitute for it. A mighty yet sensible enough to resolve any conflict first through dialogue and diplomatic engagement rather than the brute force of destruction and death. As a corporate empire, it’s always profit not ideology that dictates how the US treats countries. Whether a country is invaded and decimated or not depends on whether that country is willing to allow US corporations to take over their local industries.
Israel on the other hand sees destabilization and constant conflicts with its neighbors as better serving its grand religious plan. Therefore any chaotic event in the region Israel interprets as an advantage.
You see, unlike the US and basically every other nation on the planet, Israel’s national plans are not predicated on short-term and long-term economic and diplomatic plans tied to the well-being of other nations. Israel is not beholden to the general practices of 5-10-year development plans usually laid out by the legislature or the executive bodies of respective countries, a rigid blueprint of a 5000-year-old book guides it. Whatever is in that book and deemed priority by Jewish sages and prophets over the millennia and centuries propels the actions of the Israeli government each day–of which the ultimate is the recreation of the mythical Biblical Israel aka the Jewish Caliphate.
The current geography and influence sphere of the Jewish State is deemed insufficient. Hence the constant genocides and conflicts with its neighbors and the religious obsession of driving Palestinians out of their historical land either alive or dead. Being allies while having such diabolical beliefs and divergent interests requires a delicate dance and steady hands. And America as the cool and calm-headed almost patriarchal-like figure and Israel as a whining vindictive jealous wife we know whose hands have been steadier.
This is where the CIA and the State Department come in
People have a limited idea of how immense the CIA is. We don’t even have a frame of mental reference on how big and intrusive this organization can be. And out of ignorance and mostly due to Hollywood hype people always jump up to the conclusion and compare it to Mossad. They make Mossad this giant super intelligence agency. But this presentation is of course false. That is not to say Mossad is not a formidable agency compared to spy agencies of other countries but it’s literally nothing next to the CIA.
Mossad only gained a reputation via its ability to enlist the assistance of the Jewish diaspora (Sayanim) who often occupy a critical position in some countries however, that too has had its own limitations given the number of Jewish people on the planet. To offset this, Mossad invested heavily in technology. Coding sci-fi-like hacking tools like the Pegasus and other privacy-invading surveillance tools. However, Israel’s perceived enemies figured this out like everyone else and found ways to avoid anything connected to the internet and buy their technology from friendly non-Western countries like China and Russia.
This is where Israel throws child-like tantrums and forces the steady hands to be less steady. Demanding the US to either set her loose and watch her destroy the entire region or accommodate her in the interests of all involved by doing the job for her.
The CIA has been building this infrastructure, human infrastructure all over the world since the end of WW2. it has built networks of tunnels, bridges, underground railways of human intelligence infrastructure. That’s an unparalleled seven-decade buildup of friendships, organizations, and networks all over the world.
It started captivating agents from kindergartens paying for their educational costs up to graduation from college. After graduation, they usually get jobs in their countries, taking up some important portfolios in government and critical corporations. These are the people they nurtured from kindergarten through native intermediaries, so nobody suspects them of having any outside relationships with foreign agencies. As planned, some of them become heads of state, foreign and defense ministers, ambassadors, social influencers, and activists of sorts. All of this gives the CIA unprecedented access and influence on almost any country on the planet. Even in Israel, many believe Netanyahu is working for the CIA. Heck, there has been a sex blackmail campaign against him during the 1996 election which many speculate was orchestrated by the KGB as a message to him that “we know what you are up to.”
The level of intelligence access the CIA has in virtually any country is mind-blowing. It would even shock me if it was ever confirmed that Khamenei himself or someone in his household is not connected to the CIA. However, one thing I’m sure of is that Putin is more likely working for the CIA.
Well aware of this immense global influence and its ability to not only gather intelligence from virtually any corner on earth but to carry out surgical precision-like operations, Israel runs to US leaders, mouth forming, and demands actions must be taken on its behalf. “Do this for me or I will stir a shit so strong it would blow on your face and your allies in the region.”
The US tries to reason with Israel, pleading it to see the bigger picture. that everything is working in their favor in the region begging it “Please don’t rock the boat for both of us.” The US tells Israel it would rather put resources and manpower on China than on the Middle East quagmire.
Israel walks away elegantly, and says while sharpening its nails, “You know my former boyfriend, Soviet?” “What about him” replies the US angrily.
“ He called me up late last night, and he wanted to see if I was happy.” “What did you say to him,” terrifyingly disturbed US replies. “Do you think I’m happy?” says Israel with a serious voice and furious eyes, “Alright Alright, I will do it…Jesus Christ…stop nagging me I will do it.”
The Zealots are running the show
…
The CIA and Biden administration, which is crawling with people who are emotionally, culturally, and historically immersed in the messianic idea capitulate to every crazy demand by the Israelis. Advisors and cabinet members in the Biden/Harris administration are prone and susceptible to messianic fantasies and religious supremacy and often are inclined to help the Jewish State pursue these fantasies. For many of them, their jobs in the United States government are not to safeguard national security and promote the interest of the United States alone, but to create the conditions that propel at least the next generation if not this one to fulfill the messianic dream.
A dream which lives in the head of every Jewish person no matter whether they are American, Israeli, French, Arab, Chinese, or Persian Jews. Because as they see it, this is a religious duty. It’s important to note Christians and Muslims also have similar idealism and religion always transcends nationality and geography. We had British doctors leaving from the UK to join ISIS, an extremist murderous death cult.
Because they were convinced they were fulfilling a religious duty.
The history of the Crusades and the massacres and genocides they committed in the holy land in the name of God. The Crusades were wave after wave of Christian warriors from all over Europe poured into the Holy Land (1096-1300 CE) following Pope Urban ll’s promise of forgiveness and heaven for Christians if they rose and cleansed non-Christians from the region.
The same is true for Jewish religious fanatics. However, the ordinary eyes don’t see them as such because the media and establishments deceptively downplay it and hide their history from you.
Therefore, having that many people predisposed to the messianic feverishness in the Biden Administration helps only one side in any conflict: the Israeli extremists. This means everything they ask is more often fulfilled than denied. So, what have been some of those demands that the Israelis asked, and Americans delivered? In short: the assassination of Qassem Suleimani, the disappearance of the helicopter carrying the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his irreplaceable foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian. The invasion of Rafah, and now the pager terrorism.
Go Deeper
The theory that the CIA was likely behind the mass pager terrorist explosions is mostly inferences and anecdotes related to disclosures of previous covert CIA operations including the admission by the former director of the CIA Pompeo that his agency carried out somewhat similar attacks in the past with Mossad. Although he did not obviously provide specific details, Pompeo is on video gloating that he helped Mossad plan attacks in the Middle East. complex attacks that Mossad doesn’t have the legal or manpower to do.
Pompeo said to the effect ‘We plan together and when we do something the head of Mossad (Yossi Cohen) calls me and we laugh about it, we don’t admit it on the phone, but we know we did it, so we laugh about it and then hang up the phone.’
Pompeo also famously wrote in one of his books –after leaving the CIA and the State Department– that the head of Mossad Yossi Cohen called him for help after some of his agents were trapped in Iran as the IRGC was closing in on them and had nowhere else to go. He said the CIA rescued them. This means the CIA has capabilities and resources in Iran and by extension the whole region that Mossad lacks.
This raised the thus far unanswered question: how did the CIA do that?
To go Inside Iran and rescue trapped Mossad agents without being detected or suspected either by land, sea, or air is unthinkable. Does the CIA possess invisible technology? Invisible flying machines that go in and out of countries undetected? The kind of invisible alien planes we often see in movies. That revelation was eye-opening for a lot of people and made them think about the espionage world differently.
However, just before Pompeo revealed this in his book, in 2019 Trump posted on Twitter a picture –which the media later claimed was classified– showing Iran conducting a satellite test. The picture was of a rocket that had exploded on a launch pad deep inside Iran. It was so crisp, that some initially thought it may not have been taken by a satellite.
The details and quality of the image were incredible and so vivid people suggested it must have been taken from a close range no more than 2 meters away aerially from the test site. This level of image quality –which was impossible to capture aerially with then-known technology left many with jaws on the floor.
With this in mind, let’s rewind the tape a few months back when Israel started making unusual and overt demands. One of which was that the Israelis would attack Iran and destroy their alleged nuclear sites if Trump himself was unwilling to do it for them. Ruddy Giuliani–Trump’s lawyer– and John Bolton, his National Security Advisor– were on a whirlwind tour around Europe at the behest of AIPAC, rallying rebel Iranians in the diaspora and congratulating them on an eminent attack on Iran by the US.
However, Trump was preoccupied with thoughts of the 2020 election for a second term which he knew he would have to say goodbye if war broke out with Iran– so he was like “No we are not going to do that.” But ask us something else that we can help you with.
So, the Israelis said, “If you are not going to destroy Iran’s nuclear sites for us, and you don’t want us to do it either, the only thing that would make us not do it, is if you kill Qassem Suleimani for us.” Just like that Trump kills Qassem Soleimani. This is not some made-up conspiracy, Trump himself admitted to the fact it was Israel that initiated the idea to assassinate Qassem Suleimani.
Having gotten its way with Trump Israel grew even more emboldened in its demands with Joe Biden. The next big ask came after OC 7.
.
Even after decimating North and Central Gaza, it turns out Israel’s thirst for more blood and destruction was not thoroughly quenched. So, it threatened to invade Rafah where 1’5 million displaced Palestinian refugees were taking shelter and commit yet again the largest genocide in an area as tiny as Rafah. This standoff apparently caused great friction between Biden and Netanyahu at least according to media reports –but as we learned later it was all for PR stunts.
Israel cleverly resorted back to its playbook that helped her in the past with Trump. They said, “Ok Biden, we know Rafah is a big thing for you politically, your base is up on your heels, and it might even cost you the election, but here is what you can do for us, and we won’t invade Rafah.”
Joe Biden was like “oh thank God, please name your prize.”
To which Israel replied, “Kill the Iranian president for us.”
Now, I can’t possibly confirm this, but the very same day that the helicopter carrying the Iranian president went down, Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was in Israel locked in an unusual meeting with Netanyahu that nobody knew what it was about as no press release was provided after the meeting concluded. The helicopter disappeared while they were having the meeting. Many experts now say it wasn’t about an ordinary meeting, but rather about directing the operation/ watch party of the disaster. that, in fact, it was Jake Sulivan’s version of the famous Obama moment sitting in the Situation Room with his generals when he took out Osama Bin Laden.
This is my tweet that day alluding to this fact. I was vindicated on September 22, when an Iranian official hinted that the helicopter accident may not have been an accident after all following the pager explosions in Lebanon.
Cellular Terrorism
When pagers exploded all over Lebanon, especially in Beirut Mossad’s name was instantly invoked. Critics swiftly pointed fingers at Mossad and accused it of terrorism.
Mossad supporters in the media however applauded it calling it a “miracle.”
NYTimes led the way in insisting this restores the deterrence Israel had lost after OC 7. One of the main reasons Israel has been unable to end the Gaza genocide. Israel argued the continuation of the war was necessary as its brutality would be utilized to instill fear and restore the deterrence lost after OC attacks. So, the media emphasis was not so much –about the terrorism Israel unleashed on Lebanon where children were killed and blinded– but so much on how “humane” and master class the explosions were.
The media insisted because of the clandestine nature of this operation and how shocking it was even to Hezbollah themselves the psychological deterrence that Israel lost after OC7 was restored. But they forgot to ask, can Mossad really pull something as big as this alone?
Israel time and again demonstrated its unchallenged ability to attack Lebanon aerially anytime it so desired. Drop bombs from fighter jets 60,000 ft up in the air. Send stealthy drones to take out Hezbollah commanders in surgical precision strikes in suburban Beirut. But to get to the heart of Hezbollah operations, to be able to tap into their distribution and production lines, Israel needs access to Lebanon’s critical infrastructure and institutions.
Israel had to know beforehand where invoices were issued. Where Lebanon gets its electronic goods and who were the trusted distributors and suppliers? Because after all Hezbollah is just an armed organization that operates within the government of Lebanon. There is no country called Hezbollah. Whatever business Hezbollah does with the outside world it does so through the internationally recognized government of Lebanon. And there are almost 6 million Lebanese, doing all kinds of different trade and commerce transactions both regionally and internationally. To pinpoint precisely which products Hezbollah bound requires almost total access to the Lebanese export and import authorities.
However, Most Lebanese see Israel as a mortal enemy and therefore hard pressed against any collaboration with them on this scale and scope either out of patriotism or fear of being caught by quite capable Hezbollah spies.
Therefore, one does not have to be Sherlock to conclude that Israel had a nighty hand to help her execute the pager terrorism the way it did. And that could only be the US. Not only did Sleepy Joe know Israel’s terrorist operations, but he also helped it through the CIA.
And it all came right after another one of Israel’s impossible asks: US help for an invasion of Lebanon.
How it all happened
Antony Blinken landed in Cairo on Sunday, September 15 in his tenth and latest disappointing so-called shuttle diplomacy in the region to push forward what he called a new “ceasefire deal.”
The Egyptian leader, El Sisi conveyed to him the unified regional message that Hamas is ready for a ceasefire deal if America can put a real leash on Israel. In Blinken’s mind though, he was like “I’m the one on a leash here.” And boy was he right.
Israel immediately rebuffed the suggestion and rejected to even entertain the idea of a ceasefire and changed the topic, announcing a “new war goal.” As an additional pressure point on the Biden administration, Netanyahu leaked to his stenographers in the American media that he was seriously contemplating firing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Gallant, despite being a hardliner extremist himself and advocating for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza after the OC 7, has mysteriously emerged as a key trusted personal in Netanyahu’s cabinet for the US security establishment.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan, and even Biden himself have all singled out Gallan as an indispensable figure in their cooperation and coordination with Israel on regional security matters. So, it was brilliant from Netanyahu’s perspective to go after him in order to get concessions from the US for the things he and Gallant both wanted: the CIA’s help in Lebanon.
Call Hochstein
To save his trusted man from being expelled, Joe Biden called upon a man with extensive knowledge and connections inside Lebanon than anyone else in his administration. That man was the Special Presidential Coordinator for Global Infrastructure and Energy Security and former Senior Advisor to President Biden Amos Hochstein.
So, you may probably be wondering who Hochstein really is and why is he a factor in this.
According to his Wikipedia page, he is an Israeli American businessman, lobbyist, diplomat, and a former IDF. Hochstein was born in Israel to a Jewish American family and moved to the US after first serving in the IDF.
He calls himself a “modern Orthodox Jew.” Because of his identity and service in the IDF, in America, Hochstein worked hard on issues that greatly affected Israel. Including energy, security, and getting rid of Palestinian refugees. Between 1996 and 2000s he directed the House Foreign Affairs Committees through lobbying to essentially bribe Iraq in oil sanction reliefs in exchange for resettling millions of Palestinian refugees who had been driven out of their homes by Israel granted they renounce their claim of right to return. Despite Hochstein’s committed efforts, that plan didn’t eventually pan out as he had hoped due to the 9/11 attacks and subsequent US invasions.
Since late 2021, Hochstein as a lead negotiator has visited Lebanon hundreds of times in an attempt to resolve a decades-long dispute between Israel and Lebanon surrounding the two countries’ maritime border and the gas fields. As an Israeli and former IDF member, Hochstein ensured Israel got the best terms out of the deal. And that was precisely what happened as Israeli leaders hailed the deal as a “historic agreement” and thanked him.
All of this gave Hochstein unprecedented access to Lebanon and extraordinarily broad authority to deploy US assets, and resources in service of Israel. After all, he fits the profile of the perfect Jewish Jihadi.
So, on behalf of Biden Hochstein landed in Israel less than 24 hours before the pager terrorist simultaneous explosions took place.
According to media reports, Hochstein held a prolonged closed-door meeting with Netanyahu and his war cabinets. And when the meeting ended Gallant stayed on as defense ministers and pagers exploded all over Lebanon killing hundreds of civilians including children.
