The Intercept is reporting that the US has boots on the ground in Gaza (it has also been reported multiple times that the same is true for the UK). Zerohedge has picked up on this story:
US Secretly Sent 'Targeting Officers' To Aid Israel's War In Gaza
The US Air Force is discreetly providing Israel with intelligence for its brutal assault on Gaza and has deployed “intelligence engagement officers on the ground,” The Intercept has reported, citing a deployment order obtained under Washington’s Freedom of Information Act.
“The information used to conduct airstrikes and fire long-range artillery weapons — has played a central role in Israel’s siege of Gaza. A document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act suggests that the U.S. Air Force sent officers specializing in this exact form of intelligence to Israel in late November,” the outlet wrote.
The US is directly participating in genocide. While hardly surprising, this confirmation is very disturbing. US moral standing in the world continues to plummet as the Neocons drag us into their swamp, willy nilly.
Speaking of swamps …
This story is breaking pretty widely. I linked two stories in a comment on the most recent post, but Zerohedge does a pretty good job on this one, too:
NBC News Admits 'Deep State' Exists... To Save Us From Trump's Return
The intro paragraphs set the tone, sketching out a country that only pretends to be a democracy any longer:
The last time Donald Trump got within striking distance of the Oval Office in 2016, the Clinton campaign, the Obama administration, and various foreign accomplices invented a hoax accusing the real estate tycoon of being a secret Russian agent, who would use the power of the United States to do Vladimir Putin's bidding (Which begs the question; why wouldn't Putin have just invaded Ukraine when his 'puppet' Trump wouldn't have waged a proxy war?).
And when Donald Trump asked Ukraine about obvious corruption by the Biden family, one of the key 'deep state' players in his impeachment behind the scenes was none other than Mary McCord - who went from taking down Michael Flynn after the FBI set him up, to helping Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to peddle a "whistleblower" complaint about Trump's Ukraine call.
If anything it’s even worse this time around, because the Deep State plotters are openly suggesting a full blown military coup:
McCord is back with a new hoax to peddle, telling NBC News that the Deep State is preparing for Trump's return - and is taking action to limit his ability to 'become a dictator' and use the military to those ends.
The hoax this time around is the “threat to our democracy”—Trump is literally a dictator, you know, like Hitler—a threat that can only be defeated by bypassing our democracy. Which is a kinda chicken and egg conundrum. We plot to overthrow democratic government to, like, save democratic government. Yeah, I think I see how that works. Sean Davis gets it—if they accuse Trump of wanting to become a dictator (again?) that means …
Whenever Democrats accuse Trump of doing something, it’s a guarantee that Democrats are planning to do that very thing against Trump. Which means Democrats are preparing to use the military to steal the 2024 election and prevent their opponents from lawfully taking power.
NBC, in its characterization, obviously describes the Deep State—they no longer hide its existence!
"Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs."
And as Zerohedge points out:
You tell us what that sounds like...
deep state, noun,
a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy.
HOLY SHIT… NBC News just admitted the Deep State exists.
The Deep State—it’s hoaxes all the way down. We live in a hoax world here in the West. The Deep State wants to nullify your votes to make it safe for you to vote … for a candidate of their choice?
We have Bluto Barr to blame for this in great part. Also the judiciary, that enabled so much of the previous hoaxes. Well, there’s plenty of guilty parties here. This is hardly just Mary McCord.
What's difference between a conspiracy theory and reality?
About 6 months to year......
I believe the military got their coup in 2020 based on what Richard Poe has reported.
