October 7th: A False Flag by Any Other Name, Biden's Door to WWIII, Fear of Netanyahu and Censorship, the Fate of the Free World

Nick Koutsobinas — On October 6th, it was a Friday, and I was in Tampa. I hadn't thought about the war in Ukraine in nearly a day, mostly because I had just been robbed. But on October 7th, all that changed.

A premonition struck me at that moment — a gut feeling — the same gut feeling I had writing about Ukraine and the COVID vaccines, about the social media censorship during lockdowns; I remember thinking — reflecting on the week prior how all the momentum of leaving Ukraine and finally rebuilding toward American prosperity, and putting our interests as a nation above all others had just vanished, poof.

Now, we are heading in a radically different direction. Three months later, it's a few days after New Year's, about a week from today, after President Joe Biden gets shot up with enough drugs to give a rhino Bell's palsy, he'll sit down at the Resolute desk and sign the deed for America's death warrant — his supplemental spending plan, which will tie funding a multi-front war, or a defacto World War III, by sending $106 billion American tax dollars to Ukraine, Israel, military operations in Taiwan, and a little over there to "secure" the southern border. Unless Congress chooses otherwise.

And all this during an election season. The supplemental spending or the WWIII funding will be used as a flashpoint this election season to rally 'round the Uniparty banner, i.e., Haley, Biden, etc.

And I seem to be the only independent journalist out there, so send me money on GoFundme or subscribe to my Patreon so I can cover this damn presidential election and follow the big campaigns — @realDonaldTrump, @RobertKennedyJr, @VivekGRamaswamy — because after the Israel lobby sees this report, I'll probably lose my job. And I need all the support I can get to make it to the Iowa caucus, despite the fact that someone in the Iowa GOP just denied my press credentials.

October 7th

On October 7th, Hamas terrorists armed with machine guns, some with no weapon at all, breached with hang gliders, Toyota trucks, and bulldozers, the most secure and surveilled border in the Western world — some even while dressed in their sweatpants.

"How could this have happened?" I remember asking myself.

What came out in the following months was a small dribble of stories scattered across the political landscape.

On October 11th, four days after the attack, Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said that Egypt warned Israel — three days prior — to the Hamas attack.

"We're not quite sure how we missed it," McCaul told reporters. "We're not quite sure how Israel missed it. We know that Egypt had warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen. We know that this has been planned, perhaps as long as a year ago."

But how could the US and Israel not know about an impending Hamas attack but also know it was planned a year ago?

Haaretz reports that in the early dusk hours of October 7th, "Noga," a female spotter "stationed at the IDF's intelligence unit at Kissufim, close to the Gaza border, spotted an unfamiliar, suspicious-looking man standing in front of one of the barrier gates erected along the Gaza Strip border."

"Her report reached Lt. Col. Meir Ohayon, commander of the 51st Battalion in the Golani Brigade, who at 3 A.M. made his way to the location and, after sighting the man, fired tear gas at him. The suspect turned back and went to a Hamas observation post about 300 meters (nearly 1,000 feet) from the fence, which is the distance at which Palestinians are allowed to stay. The spotter observed several other people at the same position, and it seemed to her that a briefing was being held there."

"All of the above seemed unusual and disturbing to her, so she shared her feelings with the other spotters as well as the on-duty commander. However, at the end of a discussion that lasted about a minute in the operations room and in consultation with the division, it was decided to return to normal."

"Another team from the Shin Bet operational unit and a force from the commando unit were also placed on alert. An elite IDF team from Sayeret Matkal was also dispatched to the area. However, no one in the Southern Command or its Gaza Division bothered to inform the dozens of young women serving as spotters at the Kissufim and Nahal Oz army bases of that. This did not even change at 4 A.M. when it was decided to put the Gaza border communities themselves on alert for fear of possible infiltration."

"At around 6:30 A.M., Noga still found time to report about the 'infiltration' protocol for communities and military bases, all while hearing the gunfire and shouting of the terrorists outside the command center where she was stationed."

"In the spotters' WhatsApp group, friends from Nahal Oz were already reporting that terrorists were everywhere, that people had been killed and kidnapped, and that there was nowhere to run. At 7:17 A.M., the last message was received in the group, signed by spotters from Nahal Oz: 'Tell everyone that we love them and thanks for everything.'"

For the next six hours, intel documents show, according to The New York Times, Hamas terrorists were able to breach over 30 locations. "And perhaps" what's "most damning," The Times adds, is that "The Israel Defense Forces did not even have a plan to respond to a large-scale Hamas attack on Israeli soil, according to current and former soldiers and officers. If such a plan existed on a shelf somewhere, the soldiers said, no one had trained on it, and nobody followed it. The soldiers that day made it up as they went along." Many of whom relied on social media posts to coordinate.

So, how did Israel miss this? More importantly, how did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu miss this?

Well, according to retired Israeli general and Executive Director of Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies, Amos Yadlin, he didn't.

According to Yadlin, Netanyahu knew about the Hammas attack and used it as a casus belli to overhaul Israel's judicial overhaul, which would weaken the court's authority over the executive branch and lay the groundwork for the Israeli prime minister to skirt election charges.

"Netanyahu," Yadlin told Politico, "got all the warnings — from his defense minister, from the chief of staff, from the head of intelligence, from the head of Shin Bet, and from independent writers like me, like others — that this is weakening Israel deterrence and endangering Israeli national security."

In another report from The Times, Israel had been sitting on Hamas's plan of attack for over a year. And while in possession of this intelligence, according to the Washington Post, Israel then decided to focus its troops in the West Bank. And that's why, from all views, October 7th looks like a false flag by any other name.

But since the attack, a black hole of censorship and fear has consumed all of the most established Western publications from reporting this fact. But why?

For years, the Israel Lobby has served, according to University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer, as "a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that push American policy in a pro-Israel direction."

And now, with the advent of the Censorship Industrial Complex in the US, which evolved out of the war on terror, all matters of resources have been funneled into an industry directed not at foreign enemies but at Americans who chose to dissent from establishment narratives, e.g., the COVID-19 vaccines, lockdowns, January 6th.

The biggest marshaling of resources concerning this censorship blob, which began as an amoeba at the intersection of USAID/CIA, Harvard professor Cass Sunstein, and social media, came about under President Joe Biden, who himself is a Catholic zionist. This sets up a terrifying precedent this election season between WWIII and the battle for openness.

And the point of all this, pulling from Mearsheimer, with the Israel Lobby now seeming in control of the censor-ship, is "to silence people."

"It's very, very important to understand," Mearsheimer adds, "that one of the Lobby's principle goals is to make sure we don't have an open discourse, a freewheeling discourse about Israel, because they understand people in the Lobby understand that if you have an open discourse, Israel will end up looking very bad, right?"

"You don't wanna talk about the occupation; you don't wanna talk about how Israel was created, right?"

"All these subjects are ones that will cause problems for Israel."

"See, just to go to the present crisis, okay? When you have a disaster, and what happened on October 7th is a disaster, one of the first things that happens is that people begin to ask the question: 'How did this happen, right? What's the root cause of this problem? This is a disaster. We have to understand what caused it so that we can work to make sure it doesn't happen again, so we can work to shut it down, and then make sure it doesn't happen again.'"

"But once you start talking about the root causes, right? You end up talking about how Israel was created, right? And that means telling a story that is not pretty, about how the Zionists conquered Palestine. And number two, it means talking about the occupation, right? It's not like Hamas attacked on October 7th because there were just a bunch of anti-Semites who hated Jews and wanted to kill Jews. This is not Nazi Germany, right? This is directly related to the occupation and to what was going on inside of Gaza."

"And it's not in Israel's interest or the Lobby's interest to have an open discourse about what the Israelis have been doing to the Palestinians since, I would say, roughly 1903."

Mearsheimer's point underscores the fact we are now confronted with: If we are to put America first, we must be honest with ourselves about what happened that day because if we don't, we risk undoing all the progress we've made toward combating this plague censorship and the loss of our American values. So, if we are to prosper as a nation in the years to come, it is incumbent that Congress not pass Biden's supplemental spending plan for war funding in Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel — for the reason that it's a slippery slope toward more war funding that will evolve into a de facto WWIII, as it now seems to be, with the US facing off against Iran, one of the largest producers of natural gas in the world, Russia, the top producer of natural gas in the world, and the top nuclear-armed superpower, and China also one of the top nuclear superpowers.
