In a September 10th Frame of Mind
Israel is an example of how the West is sleepwalking into a disaster.
In a 2020 interview, a year before the release of his book “The Devil’s Hand”, Navy Seal and best-selling author Jack Carr commented:
“Terrorists, as well as state actors like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, are constantly evaluate what has and has not worked against us, and they’re adapting their plans accordingly.”
Carr was speaking about the premise of “Devil’s Hand”, but I think the Hamas invasion of Israel fits it to a “T”.
People are now wondering how such a massive strike could happen to Israel, a country with quite possibly the best intelligence gathering capabilities in the world, one of, if not THE, preeminent small army and Shayetet 13, a bunch of Hebrew badasses, the rough equivalent of our Team 6 and possibly the most militarily trained populace, both men and women, of any democratic country in the world.
My answer is September 10th.
The world has reverted to the perspective of September 10th, taking their eyes off the threat.
If you wonder where the Global War on Terror went, you are not alone. Obama pulled us out of Iraq, which was based on the fact America had lost interest in nation building that didn’t work and while Trump threatened to drop the hammer on the Taliban if they didn’t behave, Sir Robinette bravely ran away, leaving behind men and material for the Taliban to exploit, some of which the Israeli Defense Minister said is showing up in Gaza. Not really a surprise, the Tali’s knew China would pay well for access to the American bases in Afghanistan and 80 billion of gear, even if Iran paid the cents on the dollar, brought in enough money the bearded pedophiles could stop worrying about the ire of the “global community” and begin shutting down liberal colleges and schools, wrapping the women and girls in sheets, and subjugating them by locking them in their homes.
And while America is consumed with domestic strife stoked by a political party who secretly still believes America brought 9/11 on itself, the terrorists wait, watch…and learn.
Israel’s border with Gaza was controlled, but thinly so. Israeli politicians and government grew so complacent with years of 20,000 plus Gazans peacefully crossing over and back every day to work, shop and recreate in Israel, they began to reset their minds to this being the new normal.
And then on Saturday, October 7th – on the Sabbath and the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War – the Hamas forces attacked with over 5000 rockets, by paragliders, by vehicles and on foot, slaughtering, raping, and kidnapping any Jew they encountered. It was not sophisticated because attacking a sleeping enemy doesn’t need to be sophisticated.
It doesn’t matter how much technology you have or how much military hardware is at your disposal if you are blind to the threat – and it is clear based on the degree to which the Hamas murderers were able to kill and maim before the IDF got cranked up, the Israelis were blind.
The WSJ reports that this was planned weeks ago in a meeting in Beirut between Hezbollah, Hamas and Iranian terrorism planners. Our government, even after the Mad Mullah’s claimed they were in on it, are still in denial:
Biden/Blinken/Sherman: “Dang, we just don’t know who was behind this. Wish we did.”
Mad Mullahs: “It was us.”
Biden/Blinken/Sherman: “No, we’re serious. We just can’t figure it out.”
Mad Mullahs: “No figuring needed. We are just saying it out loud. We are right here saying we set it up with that sweet cheddar you sent us. Thanks, by the way.”
Biden/Blinken/Sherman: “That’s impossible. You will only use that 6 billion for humanitarian and health care needs. You pinky swore.”
Mad Mullahs: “No, dudes. We don’t care if you know. We really did it. Do we need to write it up and call some witnesses and a notary public?”
Biden/Blinken/Sherman: “ No, not necessary. One thing we know for sure is that we may never know who was behind this.”
If Israel is in a 9/10 mood, America of today is stuck in about March or April.
We have no control over our border, our media is in the tank for “austere religious scholars”, and our intel agencies are too busy tracking down a grandmother from Missoula who was at the Capitol on January 6, and criminalizing PTA moms and dads as “domestic terrorists”.
Biden has been MIA. Obama and Clinton have been not so curiously quiet.
Americans had better wake up because as Jack Carr noted, our enemies have been watching and waiting for an opportunity and the Biden administration has done everything they can to give them one.
Carr was eerily prescient when he said:
“On an individual level, I think it’s been a wakeup call for a lot of people who got very comfortable over the last 50 years. There are these little flash points every now and then – a riot, a national disaster, a terror attack – that doesn’t necessarily hit the whole country, but it hits hard enough in a city or region to sober those people up to the fact that the government isn’t always there to prevent a tragedy. So this is a wakeup call.”
“Sir Robinette bravely ran away”
🎶 He buggered off!”🎵
He run away!
The difference between Israel and the USA is that Israel WILL wake up. Without kicking out the current regime and its congressional sheep, spins and excuses will continue to be the drowsy words of the days.
