Sedona, AZ — And so, it begins – the chess game of death.
The opening move was the massacre in Israel, setting the stage for the opponent’s move, the bombing of Gaza into rubble and the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops in preparation for the grand invasion.
The U.S. moves its pieces onto the chessboard — aircraft carriers, guided missile ships, troops, etc.
Tehran, and Russia nudge their pieces into the game with Hezzbolah and other actors ready to play their part.
An invasion will be launched. The players engage. The killing begins in earnest.
Women and children wail, starve, and die.
What misery, sorrow, horror and suffering, is to be bestowed. As if the world does not have enough of it already.
But war has always been war — when one side wants something the other has and is willing to kill to get it. And the other is willing to kill to keep it.
When the smoke clears, if ever, Israel will own the destroyed half of Gaza, and must occupy to try to prevent Hamas from coming back. The Palestinian population will now have half the space to live in that they had before, thanks to Hamas, which will survive no matter what happens to the civilians because you can’t kill an idea with force. Only a better idea can win. And no one has one.
Some will say that war was the game plan all along. That those who have the most to gain sparked the flame that started it, knowing all along what was going to happen, winking innocence.
The peripheral players in the Arab world will put up a fight but will not fully-engage, preferring to play the background music while the main movements of the symphony of war will be left to the ground players and their air-born benefactors.
When the food and water disappear, and disease starts to chomp, that’s when the death toll of thousands jumps to the tens of thousands.
Can the makers of things that explode and kill keep up with the demand? Heck, even Russia is now buying weapons from the impoverished North Korea to help feed the flesh-eating monsters blowing up people, Russians and Ukrainians.
No doubt, the arms industry will find a way to meet the demand.
Meanwhile crushed they will be, huddled in torn buildings, hospitals, playgrounds and kibbutz settlements as bombs continue to fall upon the citizens of both sides.
In Israel people live in fear, throwing themselves to the ground each time an air-raid siren goes off and missiles fall upon them.
In Palestine there is no home to go back to, nowhere to hide, no food, no water, no hope. Mothers watch their children slowly starve, dehydrate, embalmed in pestilence and disease.
There will be no moral boundaries. No compassion. This is a fight to the death; finality finding succor only in the complete destruction of the other. A lethal checkmate of epic proportions.
Glued the world is to its TV’s and computers watching the explosions in real time, awed by how much pain humanity can endure before the gods themselves begin to weep.

What I think you are saying Tommy in your usual round about way, is that the Hamas massacre was allowed to occur, just like 911, so that the Israelis would have an excuse to wipe out Palestine. It’s pretty obvious. You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. It’s just so tragic how much suffering these people are going to suffer as their world is turned into dust. And the worst is yet to come. No food. No light. No water. No medicine. Nowhere to bath. No sanitation. No contact with the outside world. Hard to believe humans can do this to other humans. And feel justified in doing so. And Gods don’t cry. They laugh.
How exactly was 9-11 “allowed” to occur?
It is hard to believe that neither the Israeli or US intelligence services did not see this large an operation coming.
They generally know something is being planned due to increased chatter on social media, radio and telephonically as was the case with 9/11. I was working for the Federal Government in a direct counterterrorism capacity prior to 9/11 and the Government knew something was going on with Al Qaeda but they had no idea what not where the target was until after it happened. I knew something was coming as well and imagined it would be a bombing similar to the February 26, 1993, when a van bomb detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. But in the case of the Hamas attack they had gone “radio silent” using landlines they themselves installed and couriers so as not to get intercepted electronically, at which point governments depend on Satellite and HUMIT or Human Intelligence to monitor activity. But again Hamas anticipated those methods and conducted their preparations in places like Syria and Iran and did so primarily underground out of view from eyes in the sky.
Nobody could have imagined that the Saudi Government had terrorist getting their 9/11 pre attack flight time in right here in AZ. If anyone dropped the ball it was the Federal and State Government Agencies right here in good ol militia haven AZ where citizens want to be un infringed terror groups in training with zero oversight because they think the Constitution was written for and about their rights to do so which it absolutely was not. It’s difficult to monitor specific terror threats in a state where half of it’s citizens are gun toting military wannabes as members of Militias and other domestic hate and terror groups are running around freely with fully automatic weapons (some heavy machineguns) shooting up things in isolated desert locations in preparation for who knows what. And nobody can question it either because the State allows for it so what’s to stop terror groups from other countries coming here and doing the same right under our noses. Oh wait that has already happened and more than once!
As for Israel, I imagine their security and intelligence forces were preoccupied looking for domestic threats (like our militia idiots here in AZ) who may be plotting domestic terrorism as a result of Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu‘s desire to be an Authoritarian King Dictator like the Orange Pumkin is struggling to become.
I imagine our intelligence and security forces are also overwhelmed attempting to monitor the explosive rise of Domestic Violence and Terrorism here in the US since Dump got Dumped and still have to monitor for Inter and Transnational terror and war threats.
Otherwise under normal circumstances (which we will likely never ever experience again) our combined security and intelligence forces do a heck of a job considering the enormity of the size and scope of threats we and Israel face at home as well as the threats we face globally.
Muslims have been at war with the “infidels” for 1400 years, and their hatred towards Jews lacks any semblance of sanity. Hamas is just one version of their hatred, Hezbollah another, all funded by Iran whose hatred of Israel is clearly and emphatically stated as wanting to wipe them from the face of the earth. Which will only embolden them to continue their political (disguised as religious) “mandate” for world domination. There is no “reasoning” with this level of irrational hatred.
And Christian Orthodox Serbs did the same to the Bosniaks in Bosnia. It had zilch to do with faith and never has. War is a land grab, a massacre, a war crime in and of itself and man loves it so much he makes every effort to excel at it from the cowardly safety thousands of miles away where combatant and non combatant perish side by side.
In Bosnia not even the dead were spared atrocities! Armies purposely desecrated graves and entire cemeteries. Women were raped and killed and the pregnant women had their fetuses brutally cut out of the womb and hung from trees with the blessings of their Slovak Russian brethren who are trying to create a force distraction on behalf of Putin by starting crap with their neighbors. That was my firsthand experience in Bosnia Herzegovina and I’m certain that is the experience Ukrainians are having with Russians, Israel with Hamas, Iran, Russia and Hezbollah, Syria with us, Russia, Turkey, Kurdistan, Iran. Just as it was in Afghanistan and is many African nations today. Just as it was in Honduras and El Salvador, Nicaragua, Grenada, Haiti and Cuba were the common denominator in all of this is Russia.
If the US does not stop war from escalating in both the Middle East and Ukraine simultaneously while also putting out Russian fires in Former Eastern Block countries, Africa and South America where Russia is and has been active since before WWII. Heck Russia once owned Alaska and a large chunk of California where they even had a military fort that still stands. Their aspirations are not to be our friends but rather to crush us with their mighty fists as a scholar of Lenin once stated.
They’ve aligned with China, North Korea, Iran, Hungary (despite having only very recently joined NATO), Serbia (an aspiring NATO country that aligns with Russia) and Donald Trump to destroy our nation.
Trump in this case being an unwitting dimwit because Putin will put a GB Agent filled syringe in him or drop chlorine filled bombs on Mara Lago just as quickly as he would and has any other human he selects as a victim(s).
There is no God on a battlefield and that is by design!
Guess there’s a new standard of the Laws of Land Warfare, Geneva Conventions and Counterterrorism? It’s OK to take out hospitals, refugee centers, civilian populations to take out a single wanted target? Used to be a war crime. Ah but then again we pardon our own convicted war criminals just for a photo shoot ever since the days of Lt Calley (convicted by a Military Courts Martial and later pardoned by Tricky Dick predecessor to Orange Dick). Speaking of Orange Dick, how many convicted US military war criminals did he pardon? Dozens!
If that doesn’t destroy our military long term by creating an atmosphere where it’s ok to be a psycho killer nothing will! It’s brought down the mightiest of Armies from the Ottoman, the Roman, Viking and will bring down the mighty of today because even victory will be self defeating. Our planet will become uninhabitable like it is rapidly becoming.
Maybe Elon and Jeff and a few of their Uber wealthy buddies can float around in space for a bit and watch the rest of the planet implode?
Putting on my seat belt now because we’re all in for a very turbulent next couple of years or less?
