THE SNEAK ATTACK
The Japanese sent a delegation to Washington, D.C. in the days just before December 7th of 1941. While that delegation was meeting to discuss a treaty with respect to the source of most oil headed for Japan, the U.S. had embargoed, the Navy fleet of Admiral Yamamoto was steaming for the Hawaiian Islands, where the entire Pacific fleet of the USA was docked at Pearl Harbor. When the results of Yamamoto’s attack on the fleet enraged the country, what made the entire society truly angry was the duplicity of lulling the U.S. government while the attack was planned, underway, and then completed.
Thousands died in that attack alone, and 3 million more Japanese would die before the results of the Pearl Harbor sneak attack were done (plus 110,000 Americans). Where is the outrage over what the United States just did in Iraq? Where is the media coverage of this government’s use of this same kind of cowardly sneak attack on the leadership of the Iranian country? The U.S., Israel, and their allies induced and invited the Iranian leaders to a peace conference. When they had all gathered in their governmental complex, the U.S. and Israel bombed the buildings and compounds at two a.m. in the morning and killed everyone gathered there. Where is the outrage that should be there if the Americans of today had any honor at all left? Where is the increasingly bought and paid for mass media in reporting what happened in any other way than stating and allowing the public in this country to believe that those people were so evil that they deserved it? Epic Fury is the name of the combined attacks on Iran. How quaintly ridiculous to use a title that reveals how the American population should feel with respect to its murderous and torturous leaders. The 150 school students killed in the following waves of bombers going in have meant nothing to a country like the USA. Somehow, the culture has been injected with a general solution of social lidocaine, so it feels nothing.
The Kuwaiti national air defense system, primarily made up of 800 million dollars’ worth of U.S. Patriot anti-aircraft systems, and the National Missile Air Defense System (also made by the U.S.) shot down about 260 million dollars’ worth of F-15 EX American fighters. That certainly proved the effectiveness of these systems, but what else did it reveal? It revealed that the IFF systems that are part of the software in these systems were either missing or disabled. What is IFF? Identification Friend or Foe is the phrase the acronym stands for. Those modern anti-aircraft batteries all have receivers, and the modern fighters have transmitters. Those batteries should not have been able to fire on friendlies, like the U.S., in this supposed war. Not unless those batteries had those parts of the software disconnected or uninstalled. Unless, of course, the U.S. is actually selling systems that don’t possess IFF. Why would the allies want to have such systems disconnected or not there in the first place?
Because the U.S. has been and is being seen as a potential enemy, and not having IFF applicable to American forces would allow attacks to be defended against. The new F-35 aircraft being sold to allies has software that allows the U.S. to make those planes unable to fire their weapons if U.S. leadership so chooses. Are the allies aware of this feature? Unknown answer. Is the U.S. Department of Defense now huddled and wondering how the F-15s were shot down by our own weaponry? Most probably, the generals left in command there, most without much experience, don’t have a clue how that happened.
Iran is not a third-world country. It is a developed and vibrant culture of ninety-five million, which is bigger than Germany in population and five times larger in land mass. The mountainous terrain there would make a land invasion very expensive in terms of lives and other casualties. The situation is going to occupy most of the news as it continues to get worse, which is the objective. Epstein stuff has to go away, or the leadership of the U.S. is over. Trump’s primary advisor is no longer Stephen Miller…it’s Netanyahu.
