Nagel Commission warns Israel of possible war with Turkey, even as it calls for confronting Iran

The „Committee for the Evaluation of the Defense Establishment Budget and the Balance of Power“ is led by former National Security Council head Yaakov Nagel, and is often referred to in Hebrew media as the Nagel Commission or Nagel Committee.

The commission was established in 2023 before the outbreak of the war, to create recommendations for the defense ministry regarding the possible areas of conflict facing Israel in the years ahead.

From ‘Terrorist’ to ‘Freedom Fighter’: How the West Rebranded Al-Qaeda’s Jolani as Syria’s ‘Woke’ New Leader

(December 12, 2024)

In 2003, he went to Iraq to fight against American forces. After three years of war, he was captured by the U.S. military and spent over five years in prison, including a stint at the notorious Abu Ghraib torture center.

While in Iraq, Jolani fought with ISIS and was even a deputy to its founder. Immediately upon release in 2011, ISIS sent him to Syria with a rumored $1 billion to found the Syrian wing of al-Qaeda and participate in the armed protest movement against Assad that arose out of the Arab Spring.

Netanyahu throws cold water on hostage deal prospects, and reminds us what a curse he is for Israel

(December 23, 2024)

From the beginning it was clear that the only feasible post-Hamas arrangement would be a return of the Palestinian Authority, which now runs the West Bank autonomy zones, back to Gaza, from which Hamas expelled it in 2007 by force. Israel itself once yearned for this, back when rational people governed the country. The proposals pushed by President Joe Biden for more than a year now envision versions of this, with the PA rejuvenated and assisted by Arab and perhaps other forces.

An Israel that wanted this would have ensured that Hamas is out of the way, publicly and persistently offering its remaining troops exile. Arab pressure on the group would have been overpowering. Israel would possibly get peace with Saudi Arabia as part of the bargain.

Instead, Netanyahu’s goons flooded the airwaves arguing that Israel cannot pull out of Gaza and end the war because Hamas would regain power.

US Launches More Airstrikes in Syria, Claims 12 ISIS Fighters Killed

Since Assad’s downfall, the US, Turkey, and Israel have all been bombing Syria. On December 8, the day Assad fled, the US launched heavy airstrikes in Syria, saying it hit 75 ISIS-related targets.

US officials justify the strikes by saying they don’t want ISIS to reconstitute itself following the regime change. But on the other hand, the US has supported the HTS takeover even though the group is designated by the US as a terrorist organization and has a similar ideology to ISIS.

The US has also made clear it has no intention of withdrawing the approximately 900 troops that it has occupying eastern Syria.

TOP SECRET AMERICA: National Security Inc.

(July 20, 2010)

The Post investigation uncovered what amounts to an alternative geography of the United States, a Top Secret America created since 9/11 that is hidden from public view, lacking in thorough oversight and so unwieldy that its effectiveness is impossible to determine.

It is also a system in which contractors are playing an ever more important role. The Post estimates that out of 854,000 people with top-secret clearances, 265,000 are contractors. There is no better example of the government‘s dependency on them than at the CIA, the one place in government that exists to do things overseas that no other U.S. agency is allowed to do.

(…)

Contractors kill enemy fighters. They spy on foreign governments and eavesdrop on terrorist networks. They help craft war plans. They gather information on local factions in war zones. They are the historians, the architects, the recruiters in the nation‘s most secretive agencies. They staff watch centers across the Washington area. They are among the most trusted advisers to the four-star generals leading the nation‘s wars.

When Did Liberals Become So Comfortable With War?

First, history has shown that governments and bureaucracies tend to become addicted to a war footing, with failure sucking them in further — think of America’s war on terror, or Vietnam. War encourages a perverse cycle of escalation in which huge financial and political gains accrue for governments and the military-industrial complex while the costs tend to be borne by weaker parties — before they start to come home in some shape or form.

We’ve called this bipartisan pattern “wreckonomics” and have found it especially present in wars or conflicts with costs that Western politicians can largely outsource — from fighting terrorism, drugs and smugglers to quasi-colonial interventions during the Cold War.

On Sunday, we woke up to the news that six Israeli hostages were executed by Hamas, just before soldiers reached them in a tunnel in Gaza. Another six, added to tens of thousands of people in this land who should not have died over the past year. During this week, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets. They feel angry, desperate and betrayed by their government. They have understood, perhaps for the first time, that the Israeli government does not want to return the hostages in a deal, but to continue the war indefinitely.

Tabu hinter “Verschwörungstheorie”: Hierarchie und Befehlskette

(2. Mai 2017)

Um in der real existierenden Weltordnung Kriege, Attentate oder einen (schleichenden) Staatstreich durchzuführen oder zu vernebeln, braucht es lediglich eine entsprechend mächtige Hierarchie, sowie Individuen, die sie entweder benutzen, manipulieren oder sich hinter ihr verstecken können.

(…)

Beispiel 3:

Präsident A will sein „Einflussgebiet“ („Area of Influence“) vergrößern. Er hat sich zum Sturz der Hierarchie des nicht kontrollierten Staates bzw Gebietes Evil entschieden. Warum, wie, auf wessen Drängen auch immer spielt keine Rolle mehr, sobald die Entscheidung gefallen ist. Denn dann steht nicht nur seine Macht über die gesamte eigene Hierarchie, sowie aller eingegliederten und untergeordneten Hierarchien auf dem Spiel, sondern wiederum deren Macht, letztlich diese selbst. Daher muss Evil im Zweifel auch erobert werden, wenn der Sturz von dessen Hierarchie nicht gelingt.

A lässt entsprechende Pläne ausarbeiten. Zur Sicherung des Umsturzes vor seinen Untergebenen auf den unteren Ebenen innerhalb seiner eigenen Hierarchie, sowie den einfachen Untertanen im Einflussgebiet, die zwar den vielgeliederten Hierarchien der Hierarchie wie Konzernen, Parteien, örtlichen, regionalen und staatlichen Regierungen, etc, pp, unterworfen sind, aber ihnen nicht angehören, verzichtet A auf den Einsatz ihm direkt unterstellter regulärer Truppen, sondert verlangt von Monarch B, C, D, E, F, G, sowie Monarchen H, I, J, die sich aber nicht Monarchen nennen, sondern vielleicht Sultan, sowie von Kapitalisten K1, K2, K3, K4….K17, den Einsatz von Geld.

Mit diesem Geld, welche B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K1, K2, K3, K4….K17 auch deswegen einsetzen, weil sie sich eigenen Profit versprechen, in welcher Form auch immer, bezahlen diese örtliche oder internationale Söldnerfirmen, Kriegsfürsten, tribale Anführer von „Stämmen“, allgemein alle, die Bewaffnete zur Verfügung stellen. Dabei ist es den Monarchen B-J und Kapitalisten K1-17 völlig freigestellt, was sie jeweils den einzelnen Anführern ihrer Söldnern erzählen. Vorgabe ist nur, dass diese wiederum ihren jeweiligen Söldnern, Milizionären, Attentätern / Paramilitärs irgendetwas anderes erzählen und das am Ende alle tun was ihnen befohlen wird. Die Koordination, sowohl der militärischen Operationen, wie auch die jeweile Versorgung mit Waffen, Infrastruktur und permanenten Nachschub, etc, übernimmt die A (regulär) unterstellte Geheimdienstbehörde und Hierarchie X1, welche wiederum unter ausführender Leitung von Funktionär X1-y auch eigene Sondereinheiten ins Feld schickt, die als übergeordnete Kommandeure dienen, ohne im Feld selbst in Erscheinung zu treten. Gleichzeitig schickt auf Befehl von Präsident A auch dessen Militärbehörde Z1 eigene Sondereinheiten der Unterbehörden Z2, Z3, Z4 ins Feld stellt, ggf in Koordination mit Monarchen B-J und Kapitalisten K1-17, oder mit einigen davon, eine eigene Hierarchie von Söldnern auf.

Kommt die Lage in Schwung, da sich der Umsturz hinzieht, stehen am Ende eine Vielzahl von ggf öffentlich mit einander konkurrierenden oder verfeindeten Söldnern bzw Milizen im Feld, deren Fusstruppen allerlei Embleme twittern, Flaggen schwenken, Menschen massakrieren und keine Ahnung von den tatsächlichen Vorgängen haben, geschweige denn die „breite“ Öffentlichkeit. Dieser wird stattdessen durch entsprechende Maßnahmen von Geheimdiensthierarchie X1 und wiederum deren zahllose untergebenen Hierarchien Angst vor den eigenen geführten Söldnern gemacht. Gut kombinieren lässt sich dies mit urplötzlichen Wanderungsbewegungen, Attentaten, der Beförderung geostrategischer Vorgaben wie der Implementierung z.B. einer Mittelmarsunion (Name zum Schutz des betroffenen Gebietes geändert) und / oder weiterer Schritte in der Transformation des eigenen Einflussbereiches, der mit der Welt immer mehr Ähnlichkeit entwickelt, bzw umgekehrt.

Alle untergeordneten Hierarchien im eigenen Einflussgebiet, wie reguläre Regierungen eines gelenkten Staates, Tiefe Staaten, Apparate, Konzerne, Medien, Parteien, etc, sind entsprechend aktiv eingebunden, bleiben passiv oder „versagen“ bei Notwendigkeit.

Bleibt die Eroberung von Evil stecken bzw reicht die Zahl der organisierten und geführten Söldner und Milizen nicht aus, werden neue aufgestellt und alles beginnt von vorne. Die Hierarchie aller eingesetzten Proxy-Truppen endet dabei immer bei A, bzw dessen Untergebenen bei X1 und Z1. Die Proxy-Truppen können wahlweise kombiniert werden, untereinander überlaufen, sich neue Namen geben, eigene Territorien mit blumigen Namen gründen, etc, solange alle der Eroberung von Evil, oder alternativen Planmodellen dienen, wie der Zerschlagung von Evil, und / oder übergeordneten längerfristigen strategischen Zielen, wie der Zersetzung oder Zerschlagung noch vorhandener demokratischer Strukturen oder ganzer Staaten im eigenen Einflussbereich, z.B. durch die Erzeugung gewaltig-heiliger Intelligenz- und Erleuchtungswellen durch „mehr Atlantik“.

Eventuelle geostrategisch vermeintlich oder tatsächlich konkurrierende Hierarchien werden gekauft und ruhiggestellt, z.B. indem man ihnen das eigene Konzept zur Transformation des Herrschaftsbereiches andreht. Man versteht sich. Man will doch nicht streiten. Wo doch alle profitieren, von der Lage.

Eine Verschwörung hat nicht stattgefunden. Es sind einfach alle vernünftig.

‘Buying Quiet’: Inside the Israeli Plan That Propped Up Hamas

(December 10, 2023)

Just weeks before Hamas launched the deadly Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the head of Mossad arrived in Doha, Qatar, for a meeting with Qatari officials.

(…)

Allowing the payments — billions of dollars over roughly a decade — was a gamble by Mr. Netanyahu that a steady flow of money would maintain peace in Gaza, the eventual launching point of the Oct. 7 attacks, and keep Hamas focused on governing, not fighting.

The Qatari payments, while ostensibly a secret, have been widely known and discussed in the Israeli news media for years.

The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well.

(…)

Last year, shortly after the document was obtained, officials in the Israeli military’s Gaza division, which is responsible for defending the border with Gaza, said that Hamas’s intentions were unclear.

“It is not yet possible to determine whether the plan has been fully accepted and how it will be manifested,” read a military assessment reviewed by The Times.
