Brief Updates: UK Role In Anglo-Zionist Genocide; More What's Up With The Ike?
This morning I came across a tweet by one of the principals with Declassified UK. The tweet contains a highly informative 7 minute or so video presentation (which I found at the DoubleDownNews site). I really recommend this very highly because what you’ll come away with is the realization that the genocide being perpetrated in Palestine is a joint venture involving all principle members of the Anglo-Zionist empire. Matt Kennard, of course, emphasizes the largely hidden UK role, but what’s clear is that without active Anglo- involvement the Zionist military effort—which is really a “tri-partite genocide”— would have collapsed long ago. Probably last year.
It’s just been revealed Britain’s had a spy unit deployed in Israel throughout the genocide to “assist” Israeli intelligence. The UK media is covering up our involvement. This is a tripartite genocide in Gaza: Israel-US-UK. We must end our complicity.
The video is largely based on two very informative articles:
60 British war planes have landed in Israel since Gaza bombing began
Dozens of military transport aircraft have flown to Tel Aviv but the UK government refuses to give full details of what they have onboard.
Most UK military flights were vast cargo vehicles that can carry weapons and over 100 soldiers
Ministry of Defence claims it does not have access to number of troops it has moved to Israel
Flights from UK’s Cyprus base alone had capacity to transport 4,300 soldiers, likely to include elite SAS troops
Revealed: UK military has flown 200 spy missions over Gaza in support of Israel
British spy planes have recorded up to 1,000 hours of footage over Gaza, including from the day Israel assassinated three UK aid workers.
UK government refuses to give details of spy flights but Declassified independently obtains information
British spy plane landed at Israel’s major air force base, Nevatim, in February
UK’s Shadow R1 spy plane can supply intelligence for ‘target acquisition’
ICC could investigate British ministers over complicity in war crimes
We’ll transition to the Red Sea and the Ike with a UK reference:
British Ministry of Defence says the claims that HMS Diamond has been attacked are untrue.
Who do you believe? Yemenis claim 3 vessels hit overnight, Ukmto confirmed 2, but UK MoD is saying that the attack on the HMS Diamond is a lie. Not even the hit but the whole attack..
You see the similarity? The Houthis previously claimed a hit on the Ike. The US denied the attack, but the Ike was restationed 500 miles further north and took none of the daily scheduled flights from Bahrain for 5 days. The Houthis have typically proven to be fairly reliable in their statements. Presumably HMS Diamond will not remain in place if it was hit.
Will Schryver has a fairly long, speculative tweet on the Ike today. While there is no direct evidence that the Ike was actually hit, it’s movements are hard to explain. It clearly has not been relieved—it remains in the Red Sea, but 500 mile away from the area of the claimed attack, and it redeployed at top speed. It also has not been resupplied in any identifiable way. It’s closer to Israel, but still not close enough to be actively involved—the ISR flights by the US and UK are being run out of Cyprus and Incirlik in Turkey. But the redeployment has seriously hampered its claimed role of breaking the Houthi blockade. The Ike was accompanied on its redeployment by a destroyer and a cruiser, leaving one USN destroyer plus the HMS Diamond (as far as I know) stationed near Yemen. As a result the Houthis have been taking pot shots at commercial shipping and scoring multiple hits in recent days. Clearly Armchair Warlord et alii have a point:

Meanwhile, the USS Eisenhower strike group is playing hide and seek in the northern Red Sea.

Bab al-Mandeb status: Closed
USS Eisenhower status: Make cookies, not war
Prosperity status: Guarded
In all seriousness, the days of our enemies being intimidated by an aircraft carrier sailing off their coast are over.
Schryver’s bottom line seems reasonable:
…, why [is the Eisenhower carrier strike group remaining] well clear of the danger zone?
…
I think it is very possible that the Ike CSG encountered something new a few days ago.
Something more formidable than they had seen previously being launched from Yemen towards them.
And yeah, they probably managed to successfully intercept or luckily avoid any missile or drone strikes.
But they may have been forced to push most of the "fire" buttons on their control panels to do it.
And, if so, they probably aren't very keen on the idea of risking another such engagement. ...
We should know soon. They can't just cruise in circles off the coast of Saudi Arabia for much longer. ...
There’s some other news that lends credence to this speculation—namely, that, even if the Ike avoided a direct hit, it got a serious scare. That news is that in recent days Hezbollah has been deploying new weapons systems. Or, at least they have been employing weapons systems that they haven’t used previously. For example, a heavy Iranian artillery missile. Even more significantly, in the last two days Hezbollah has made two attempts to take down Israeli F-16s. I think it’s safe to assume that Hezbollah isn’t wasting missiles that have no chance of catching an F-16, so … They’ve got some capable AD missiles. Reports claim that the Hezbollah missiles locked on the Israeli F-16s but the F-16s eluded the missiles.
Are we seeing more asymmetry in play? We know Russia and Iran consult constantly now on defense matters. One way or another, the situation is very fluid. We should not expect matters to proceed as before.
How long till we can find out what happened to the Ike?
Supposedly under opsec so no regular communication from the crew.
Lack of supply run for 5 days is very suspicious.
If the icc charges or investigated the UK, that would be huge. The icc was not supposed to be used against western countries. Serbia was an exception, along with Russia.
Who knows what's going on with the Ike? Maybe they've depleted their stocks of rainbow flags. Seat water attrits those colours pretty fast. However, joking aside, I believe your final paragraphs nail it, Mark. They are afraid that Russia (and Iran) is going to share it's most kick-ass missile technology with its proxies. I'm so glad my oldest son got out of the RN a few years back before all this blew up.
