WILL THE PALESTINIAN CIVIL WAR EXPAND?

      The New Year has gotten off to a rough start for the Global Oligarchs. Hamas has turned out to be a tougher opponent than the Zionists and their Pentagon overlords reckoned. The Ukraine conflict not only failed to bring about the downfall of the Oligarchs' arch-enemy Russia; it's made the Russians stronger. The BRICS nations are about to expand, with all five new members in the strategic Middle East (four of which are OPEC members). To top it all off, Beltway bullying in East Asia has not only not intimidated China: the Chinese economy grew at twice even the fudged admitted numbers of the US economy and Chinese port traffic and exports in several sectors surpassed the US for the first time.

    I'm certain that what most of the Western political class is really dreading is that the Corporate Board of Directors who actually run our governments are meeting in Davos this month. Their top agenda item is "Rebuilding Trust" which they define as "a back-to-basics spirit of open and constructive dialogue between leaders of government, business and civil society,"  which seems to imply that the bosses aren't totally happy with the way that their managers are running things. 

   To deflect as much attention away from these setbacks as possible; the Democrats and their flying monkeys on the Neocon Right have been stirring up controversies over things like ballot access and dredging up the Epstein sex-scandals. The Supreme Court is supposed to hear Trump's appeal: sure, like they did in 2020 when 17 States presented evidence of Electoral Fraud, I'm sure they'll side with Trump this time. As we pointed out here, both States which disqualified Trump did so at Republican instigation. This weekend, Illinois and Massachusetts filed for disqualification: they don't seem too worried about the Supreme Court. We don't have all of the details yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Republican were behind these moves as well---a little detail that nobody in the Controlled Opposition seems to bring up. 

    If this farce runs true to form, the Court will rule against Trump. The Republican Governors, using the Blue States as shields, immediately will cave in too saying that the Court has ruled and their hands are tied. Just look at the homo 'equality' decision for a precedent of GOP behavior.

   The Epstein Scandal is an even bigger sham: these supposed secrets have been known for nearly 10 years. Epstein supposedly hung himself in Federal Prison--- despite being on 'suicide watch'--- after his guards decided to take a nap together at coincidentally the same moment the security cameras malfunctioned. The guards were later exonerated at an inquest of any negligence and anyone who thought that any of that appeared suspicious was pooh-poohed as a Conspiracy Theorist. None of that will be brought out during this media circus, but no doubt there'll be plenty of flame-wars online with Whacko Leftists screeching about toxic masculinity and Neocon pundits clutching their bowties over the moral decay that just started under Biden. 

     Nothing unifies a country though, like a good external threat, as both 9/11 and the Scamdemic have proven. Americans love a good panic attack and the chance to LARP through an 'emergency' makes them feel like they're part of something greater and justifies all of the pointless sacrifices of our freedoms that they make. There is more than a little suspicion right that the Junta and its overseas colonies are preparing for some 'wider conflict' in the Middle East. 

    The Conservative-Industrial-Complex is beating the war-drums too; though it isn't likely that such a decisive step will be taken unless they get permission from their Masters in Davos next week. Nevertheless, the Junta sent Deep State spook Amos Hochstein over to meet with the Zionists about the "future of Lebanon." As it happens, of course, Israel has been praised by Klaus Schwab as a model State and Netanyahu and his henchman Yuval Hariri are both influential WEF members, so I think that we can guess what the Directorate will decide. 

   Amos Hochstein has an interesting backstory of his own. He first came to the Beltway as a lobbyist, later working exclusively for Marathon Oil. He then worked for Obama as an Energy Affairs Coordinator, and during the Trump years served on the Board of Tellurian Natural Gas, a corporation which coincidentally has major holdings in House Speaker Mike Johnson's home state. He also served on the Board of Ukrainian petroleum conglomerate Naftogaz. Naftogaz has been implicated quite deeply in corrupt lobbying practices involving both Hunter Biden as well as top Republicans. What a coincidence that a man of Hochstein's background was chosen for such a mission where control of the East Mediterranean Oil Fields are in play.  

    If one actually engages in the art---now lost in America---of being able to read maps, one can see how all of the countries potentially involved in this expansion of the conflict might impact world geopolitics quite severely. 

     We can see from the countries involved in this region two things: one: both the  conflicts in Palestine and Ukraine are all about control of oil reserves, and two, expanding the conflict is very likely lead to a major confrontation between the Western Corporate Oligarchy and Russia. Russia currently has an oil trade corridor with Iran that soon will include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. They have a military defense pact with Syria and are already engaged in a US proxy-war in Ukraine, as well as mediating a US-instigated clash between Armenia and Azerbaijan: the latter country hosting the Russian pipeline. 

    The US Deep State and their Corporate Overlords have been engaging in a deliberate policy of trying to undermine---and eventually seize control of---Russia's vast oil reserves which dates to the phony Kosovo Crisis engineered by Bill Clinton in 1999. The dangerous thing here is that the Oligarchs are both too stupid and too arrogant to realize that Russia is just as capable of defending their interests as the bully-boys are determined to take them.

   Iran isn't going to be a pushover on its own---with or without Russian help---and when one reads some of the utterly moronic articles coming from 'conservative' pundits these days, it's clear that our side has absolutely no understanding of Iran, or even of the objectives of the Biden/Harris Junta. These creatures routinely talk out of both sides of their mouths: condemning the 'woke' military and clutching their bowties over the (genuine) weakness of our younger generation one minute; while carrying on as though we could swat Iran down easily the next a la World War 2. They're living in some kind of fantasy world and one gets the overall impression that we need World War 3 to instill the discipline and national commitment that they failed as parents to impart to the young. In reality, World War 3 would most likely end in a devasted US suing for peace under terms of Unconditional Surrender; but these idiots don't care as long as they can own the Libtards and blame it all on the Democrats.

   As for the Democrats, they are only concerned with taking marching orders from Wall Street and probably hope to limit military responses to stealing as much as they can get away with. Taking on Yemen and Lebanon while Israel ethnically cleanses Palestine are about as far as they can reasonably go without igniting a global conflict. Since they have complicit Republicans, the Mass Media, and the Academic Establishment on their side, they can spin some relatively risk-free interventions as some sort of great victory without really accomplishing anything. Their policy of Containment is premised on creating a strategic stalemate which allows the Oligarchs to profit---or at least not lose any investments---while keeping the threat from foreign enemies alive for when they need to play that card again. 

   Ultimately, I think that's the decision that the WEF will relay to their satraps: secure Corporate interests in the Middle East and Ukraine first and foremost and proceed with implementing the Great Reset at home for the time being. Use some military showboating here and there for political purposes, but don't bring on a war that they can't win. Thus the status quo is probably going to continue for awhile, and only the rhetoric will heat up.
