How Houthi’s are stopping shipping to Israel

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

From the minute after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the UK Maritime Trade Organisation (UKMT) learned that the oil tanker MV Chem Pluto had been hit by an exploding drone in the Indian Ocean 1,600 kilometres east of the Red Sea and Yemen coast (lead image, left), they also knew why. Through a joint venture between a Japanese and a Singapore holding company operating through a Dutch management cutout, the vessel is owned by Idan Ofer, an Israeli shipping magnate (lead image, right).

The Chem Pluto strike is the second by a drone against one of Ofer’s vessels in the Indian Ocean. The first strike was on November 24, when the container carrier CMA CGM Symi was targeted in the northeastern sector of the Indian Ocean. The Symi is owned by Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping in Singapore.

On December 18, drone strikes were reported by CENTCOM against the Swan Atlantic oil tanker and the bulker MV Clara. The first vessel is owned by a Norwegian company but management, with hidden equity, belongs to the Israeli Zodiac group, owned by Idan Ofer’s brother, Eyal Ofer. The second vessel, the Clara, is owned and managed by a German company, Johann MK Blumenthal; no Israeli trace has been found to date, but the Houthis have yet to make a mistake in spotting and hitting Israeli ships.

comment on the article above:

thank you for this very informative article, this seems to confirm my suspicion that the iranians were implying that algeria would become a proxy in attacking the pinch point of gibraltar. if they do, don’t be surprised if they also declare war on israel as yemen has. this appears to be a gradated response, designed to slowly inflict as much pain as possible, using proxies in order to avoid direct confrontation between iran and israel as long as possible. the farther the israelis go the greater the response from the axis of resistance. soleimani in his unappreciated genius realize the true motivations of the occupation, plain and simply money. yes, it’s all about the benjamins. israelis will not put up with living in a warzone and fighting an enemy that has similar weapons to what they have, they fear a fair fight, while those opposing them would gladly give their lives. from what i’ve read almost half a million israelis have already left, get ready for exodus 2.0.

all of this aligns with my suspicion that we are watching the grand plan of gen. soleimani play out before us. bds with cruise missiles, isolating israel and destroying their economy in the process. if they continue their murderous genocide of the palestinians, they will be destroyed economically, their siege of gaza will be met with an economic siege. the ultimate goal of his plan is not just freeing palestine but driving the u.s. out of the middle east completely.

this is all part of ww3, which is largely an economic war, started by the zioneocons when they launched their covid bioweapon on an unsuspecting world, this is what the west is unable to grasp, because to a hammerheaded idiot everything is a nail. the west is being crushed in this war, both militarily and economically and both israeli and it’s zato golems are being into a trap to be bled to death. the only remaining question is whether that death will be literal or figurative.

Breaking Down Thinktank-land’s Latest: Estonian MoD & ISW Analysis

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Two interesting thinktank policy papers were released over the past two weeks, which somewhat flew under the radar. I wanted to examine them in light of not only Ukraine’s now-announced major battlefield reorientation, but the general pivotal inflection point on which the conflict stands at the cusp of 2024, to see what projections for the future can be gleaned.

I read both of the papers so you don’t have to, so I’ll highlight the most important points and see how they can tie together into some semblance of a Western/NATO ‘strategic’ redirection.

The first of the two is from the Estonian Ministry of Defense, which has been active in various prognostications and reports from their supposed confidential ‘sources’ within the Russian MOD:

The gist of this paper revolves around hatching ideas for how Ukraine can use its reorientation period to rebuild into a force that can defeat Russia.

It begins with the same tired gloat of how much larger NATO/EU’s combined economies and military spending are over Russia. It’s a bit of a sophomoric take, as they expect this to innately convert into victory, as if it’s just a ‘given’ that “bigger is better.”

This is an excellent analysis, well-worth reading in full. The first part is a discussion of an unremarkable Estonian Defense Ministry report (still worth reading). The second part contains the meat—a well-deserved takedown of American neocons and their destructive fantasies based on their report, The High Price of Losing Ukraine.

Taken together both of these reports reveal the total failure of American neocon policies and the tragedy of allowing a rogue group of committed anti-Russian neocons to take over governance of USA. If these powers had been stopped thirty years ago and USA & NATO had formed a healthy alliance with Russia, all members of that alliance would have benefitted enormously. Instead, the West now faces disaster wherever you look. ABN

Death and Destruction in Gaza — John Mearsheimer

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

link to full article

The military purpose is to provoke regional war while also killing and pushing people out of Gaza. Why they want to do this is speculation. Kill, subdue, expand territory, seize gas and oil, Build Back Better, runup to WW3, hassle Russia, destroy Iran, Greater Israel, genocide. The formula is similar to what was just done in Ukraine where 500k young men were slaughtered and one-half of the population has fled, leading to large investment funds owning huge portions of Ukrainian farmland.

Mearsheimer is quite good but he relies too much on documentary evidence. The trajectory of US neocons, which includes Israelis at its core, fealty to Israel, has been power aggrandizement since well before 9/11. We can see this strategy playing out in everything they do, including invading the West with massive replacement immigration.

The goal appears to be nothing less than world domination. Note that Zuckerberg now joins Musk, Bezos, and other billionaires who have built deep shelters underground, clearly in preparation for nuclear war. ABN

How Israel Uses an AI Genocide Program to Obliterate Gaza

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

According to whistleblowers, Israel’s AI system is generating targets so fast, based on inputs so broad, that everyone in Gaza is in the crosshairs

It should already have been evident from the scale of death and destruction inflicted on Gaza over the past eight weeks that Israel was implementing a policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide against Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

Now Israeli whistleblowers have provided details of how these crimes against humanity are being carried out – and how they are being rationalised internally within Israel’s military and political echelons.

An extraordinary series of testimonies jointly published by the Israel-based publications 972 and Local Call last week established that the huge death toll of Palestinian civilians is, in fact, integral to Israel’s war aims, not an unfortunate side effect.

The known dead so far are estimated at almost 16,000, with a further 6,000 missing, presumably crushed under rubble. Two-thirds of those killed by Israel are women and children.

Two years ago, during an earlier attack on Gaza, Israeli military officials admitted for the first time that a computer was supplying them with potential targets. The intention appears to have been to bypass the restraints imposed by human assessments of likely casualties by outsourcing the killings to a machine.

The whistleblowers confirm that, given new, generous parameters of who and what can be attacked, the artificial intelligence system, called “Gospel”, is generating lists of targets so rapidly the military cannot keep up.

Israel’s inputs are now so broad that they allow the bombing without warning of high-rise apartment blocks, so long as it can be claimed that one person residing there is believed to have a connection to Hamas.

As Hamas not only has a military wing but runs the enclave’s government, the new policy potentially widens the circle of targets to include civil servants, police, health workers, educators, journalists and aid workers.

That helps explain how, according to United Nations figures, some 100,000 homes in Gaza have been levelled or made uninhabitable and at least 1.7 million Palestinians displaced, some three-quarters of the enclave’s population.

‘Huge risk’ of Christmas attacks, warns EU

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

There is a “huge risk of terrorist attacks in the European Union” over the coming holiday season, a senior EU official has said.

European Home Affairs Commission Ylva Johansson said the polarisation in society caused by the Israel-Hamas war was increasing the risk of violence.

Her remarks came days after a tourist was fatally stabbed in Paris.

The EU was making an additional €30m (£26m) available for additional security, Ms Johansson said.

She did not specify whether there was any specific information which had led to the warning.

“We saw it recently in Paris, unfortunately we have seen it earlier as well,” she added ahead of a meeting of EU interior ministers.

Gaza and Muslim Immigration to Europe — Israel Shamir

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

We are trying our best to figure out – why is Jewry so keen to import as many Muslims to Europe and USA as possible, and at the same time prepare the Gaza genocide? Do they do it out of sheer idealism? Out of compassion (hard to believe)? Or out of silliness? Could it be that this calculating people didn’t take into account that Muslims might react to genocide against Palestinians? Granted, Europeans and Americans did their fair share of protesting, but Jews knew they could shut down the Goyim any time they wanted simply by uttering the magic Jewish spell “Holocaust – Auschwitz”.

Yet Jews understand better than anyone that their “fellow Semites” from the Middle East have not accepted the yoke of Holocaust Guilt. Jews are more aware than anyone that Muslims still chafe over the fact that their Palestinian brothers have been kept in an “open air concentration camp” for the last 50 years. So how can we explain the apparent tactical error when the ADL and other Jewish organizations twisted the arms of European and American leaders to accept hordes of fighting age Muslims just before an Israeli incursion into Gaza? Surely no! They do not make such mistakes!

…So here at last is the purpose behind the supposed tactical errors of our busy little friends. Wheels within wheels. As an oil well fire is blown out with TNT, they primed their neo-Nazi brigades and then delivered them a host of unwanted Muslims. As the authorities struggle to extinguish the fire, the people will begin to notice that the case of Gaza is just like the case of Dublin and Amsterdam. At that moment, the moral high ground will be snuffed out and the people will be left in that fog of war with which we are so familiar. The indignation of people will die out, Palestine will be mechanically cleansed of its native folk, and the Gaza beachfront properties may be openly claimed by racially pure, nationalist Jews. Even most progressive Jews like Benny Morris regretted that not all Palestinians were expelled in 1948.

I have said as much myself several times sine the 10/07 MIHOP. An orchestra of frenzy and madness will be whipped up in Western countries by terrorist attacks, be they the work of maniacs on the ground or in the control rooms behind-the-scenes. We are living in a grand psyop in which everything is staged. ABN

American Pravda: Gaza and the Anti-Semitism Hoax

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Over 14,000 Gazans have died from the relentless Israeli bombardment of the last few weeks, two-thirds of them women and children and almost none of them members of Hamas. That total represents the official figures of identified bodies, and with most of the local medical system destroyed and so many thousands more missing, buried under the rubble of the tens of thousands of demolished buildings, the true death toll probably already exceeds 20,000.

We are certainly witnessing the greatest televised slaughter of helpless civilians in the history of the world, with nothing even remotely comparable coming to mind. Over the last two years of the bitter war in Ukraine, a Russian missile fired at a military target occasionally caused twenty or forty civilian deaths as accidental collateral damage, and the resulting story spent days dominating the global headlines, then sometimes suddenly vanished once evidence appeared that an errant Ukrainian missile had actually been responsible.

By contrast, what we are now seeing is the deliberate massacre of civilians, aimed at driving out the Palestinians living in Gaza and rendering their enclave uninhabitable. Most of Gaza’s hospitals and medical facilities have been eliminated, and when the Jordanians established field hospitals in South Gaza, those too were bombarded. Schools, bakeries, and other facilities necessary for continued human existence have also been deliberately destroyed, along with the bulk of the housing stock, while the Israelis have blocked the inhabitants from any access to food, water, and fuel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly identified his Palestinian adversaries as the tribe of Amalek, whom the Hebrew God had commanded be exterminated down to the last newborn baby, and many of his country’s other political leaders have used equally genocidal language, with one Cabinet minister suggesting that Israel utilize its illegal nuclear arsenal to eradicate Gaza and its population. Polls show that more than 80% of Israeli Jews support their government’s extremely harsh military measures, hoping to see all the Palestinians killed or expelled.

More and more evidence has steadily accumulated that a majority, perhaps even a large majority of the Israeli civilians killed in the Hamas attack died at the hands of their own country’s trigger-happy military, the victims of tank shells and Hellfire missiles. So the actual number of unarmed Israeli civilians killed by Hamas fighters might have been as low as just 100 to 200, suggesting that the body-count of Palestinian civilians is at least 100 times larger.

BlackRock Set To Rake in $1 Trillion Rebuilding the Destruction They Financed in Ukraine

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

War-profiteers BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase are set to reap a trillion dollar windfall in securing no-bid contracts to rebuild Ukraine – after years of financing and prolonging the conflict.

According to the Biden administration and mainstream media, the two globalist financial titans, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase, are leading the charge in a “humanitarian effort” by helping to establish the Ukraine Development Fund, a reconstruction bank designed to steer public seed capital into projects that can attract hundreds of billions of dollars in private investment.

I wonder, who is going to move into the now deserted Ukrainian landscape? One-half of Ukrainians have fled the country and 500,000 Ukrainian young men were killed in the war. Most of the people who left claimed they would never return. Ukraine is and was one of the most corrupt nations in the world, which largely explains its close alliance with USA. Why did US/NATO neocons provoke Russia and encourage the destruction of Ukraine? Cui bono? We will know who benefits by who ends up owning Ukraine and who moves there. ABN

SPECULATION: USA possesses alien technology — Kim Dotcom

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

There is video evidence from 2014 that the US military is in possession of technology that most would describe as Alien. Objects that fly with some sort of gravity propulsion with unbelievable speed and maneuverability, shielded by a vacuum layer that can potentially penetrate anything.

…The implications are enormous. If this technology is real it renders the nuclear deterrence of non-US nations meaningless. These objects can travel faster than any missile and create portals that can make any plane, missile, submarine or satellite disappear.

I am posting this because it does seem that US neocons are behaving as if they have a weapon more powerful than nuclear bombs and missiles. ABN

Why the US Needs This War in Gaza — Pepe Escobar

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Global South was expecting the Dawn of a New Arabian Reality.

After all, the Arab street – even while repressed in their home nations – has pulsed with protests expressing ferocious rage against Israel’s wholesale massacre of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Arab leaders were forced to take some sort of action beyond suspending a few ambassadorships with Israel, and called for a special Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit to discuss the ongoing Israeli War Against Palestinian Children.

Representatives of 57 Muslim states convened in Riyadh on 11 November to deliver a serious, practical blow against genocidal practitioners and enablers. But in the end, nothing was offered, not even solace.

The OIC’s final statement will always be enshrined in the Gilded Palace of Cowardice. Highlights of the tawdry rhetorical show: we oppose Israel’s “self-defense;” we condemn the attack on Gaza; we ask (who?) not to sell weapons to Israel; we request the kangaroo ICC to “investigate” war crimes; we request a UN resolution condemning Israel.

Douglas Macgregor — We are not ready for a broader regional war

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

UPDATE: KOBK players have no choice but to strike when the time is right if they believe they are the strongest player. Western neocons, which includes Israel, appear to believe they are the strongest. All of their actions over several decades conspicuously indicate they are going for world domination. If you are going for world domination and you believe you are the strongest player and/or it’s now or never, you will make the battle as complex as possible. Complexity aids the strongest player. This is what Western neocons are doing now. Where it will lead is to more war, more conflicts, more stealth strategies and ruses. The goal is world domination at any price, Kill-Or-Be-Killed, KOBK. ABN

UPDATE 2: One of the next big things to happen will be terrorist attacks in Western countries. Whether they are done by Islamic fighters or are false flags, does not matter. They will be blamed on Islamic fighters. The result will be an inflamed and frightened Wester world with people everywhere panicking and calling for revenge. Westerners will clamor for facial-recognition, digital currency, internal passports, lockdowns, anything to keep them safe. The neocons will use this public fervor and support to increase their aggression where it will do the most harm to their enemies—anyone with power who opposes them. ABN
